Fire insurance rates are prohibitive as there is no adequate water supply. the councilman added.

If the tears flow too rapidly, as under an emotional disturbance. the tear ducts' are unable to carry away the tears fast enough and they flow out of the cye over the cheek. Some men, more or less well versed in the real estate business in Springfield, have maintained for a long time that the costs of house construction, taxes, amortization and interest were so high that the average workingman could not really afford to live in a house and it looked as it he would be obliged to be content with a tent when the present houses grow too old for occupation. This sentiment is borne out, to some extent at least, by the following paragraph in a report of the Mortgage Bankers' Association of America: national resources committee's study revealed that 10 per cent of urban nonrenef families have incomes of less than $2000. One half of these urban families cannot build houses ing more than $3500 to $1000.

Their return to England is again rumored. County Board May Get Those for Registry of Deeds 1. Hampden County Commissioners yesterday voted to get estimates from a half dozen ventilating contractors, before deciding whether fans can be placed in the ceiling of the Registry of Deeds to draw out the heat complained of by Register C. Wesley Hale and the employes of tho realstry. The Commission will not be able to spend any considerable amount of moncy until after the Legislature decides whether or not it will approve the county budget as submitted, or subject it to further pruning.

There are a number of electric fans in the registry, but the force complains that the heat is excessive because of the skylight which 'was built into the building years ago to provide title searchers with daylight, and thus aid in searching titles. One estimate was riven to the Commission yesterday, but additional estimates are necessary before an anpropriation can be made. The plan suggested hy one engineer was for the placing of. several fans in the roof to draw the air from the. ing.

The buildings are equipped with an air purifying system, which is supposed to wash the air which is. drawn into the huildings through ventilators and distributed through the county buildings. No Chance Declares Costello County Commissioner Thomas J. Costello, who is an officer of the State Association County Officials, a powerful organization in the Commonwealth, last night refuted the story which has been traveling in all sections of the state that the organization might take up the cudgels for William F. Callahan, State Public Works commissioner.

"They have talked about the situalion some," said Mr. Costello "but they have taken no action on it. I dol not think there's the slightest chance that the association will use any pressure in. behalf of Callahan. Most of them are Republicans, the -bound kind." Mr.

Costello has been warm pion of Callahan. He has made his views plain to 'Republican friends as well as Democrats, Ho said last night however that while he would be glad 10 speak for the commissioner he does not expect. he will be called into the To Stop Reservation Speeding Auto' speeding in the Mt. Tom Reservation is to he stopped. Chairman Charles W.

All of: which must mean that the Park Department's fa*g is an ancient edition of the national emblem, which was manufactured before the last two states were added to the Union.

course Old Glory is the same flag whether there are '16 stars in the flag or 48 as there should be now, since each star stands for a state. However. it amused the man who looked over the Park emblem that the city of Springfield should display an out-ofdate banner on the Fourth of July, He counted: the columns of. stars carefully, to mako sure that making no mistake in the number. that ho was still able yesterday to tell how many stars were in cach geparate row.

ROD GUN BY LENOX E. BIGELOW We had two gleeful gentlemen in our office carly-vory earlyday morning to toll us about what befell one, John Christorori of ('hostnut Street. who went fishing with them recently in the Ox Bow. It spots that this trio had decided to make a night of it and enjoy the quiet moonlit hours with nothing but the stars and an occasional bat to disturb their sport. During the carly part of the cvening they' had good fishing on hull heads and had quite a string tied be side the boat.

Then the gentle lapping of the. water against the sides of the boat and the occasional jug-arum of the bullfrog lulled friend John and his head began to nod. Finally, he fell fast asleep and his rod dropped against the gunwale. Suddenly he woke with such a start that the bout nearly. tipped over all turned around to sec his rod, reel and line disappear over the side into tho water and out of sight.

Well. that ended John's fishing for the night. In the morning hack the trio" rowed to as near the same spot as coull tell and after dragging back and forth for an hour managed to. snag onto John's lost tackle with A hig spoon wobbler used for pike. And still tached to the hook was A big bullhead.

Tre almost forgot to mention that John's companions Girard C. Stumpt and Imo cheere. Nature, though extremely prolific, also is extremely. wasteful. That 1s one why closed seasons sometimes fail to benefit species that may, for one reason or another, have been brought close to extermination.

For example, a mature female "codfish deposits from 3,000.000 to 000,000 eggs. One might therefore think from this prodigal propagation that a comparatively small number of breeding fish would be necessary to stock the whole ocean. Such is far from the actual truth, for the loss of eggs and small fish is tremendous. Scientists who have made collections on the spawning grounds of mackerel have estimated there may he as many as 500,000 000 mackerel eggs floating on a single square mile of water at one time, As the principal spawning grounds of the mackerel cover about 25,000 square miles, it is believed that often there may be in those areas as many as 160,000,000,000,000 eggs. But here is what actually happens.

Nature stops in and takes enormous toll. Virtually all the fish hatched die out before they attain the end of their larva life. Experiments made showed mortality up to 99.006 per cent during that period, which means that of. every 1,000,000 eggs spawned only four mackerel were alive at the end of 11 weeks. Some scientist with a statistical mind has figured out that baby mackerel has 2 life expectancy of about 27 seconds.

And that 1S why such species AS the mackerel, cod and other. prolific species have not since crowded the water out of the occans. Apple Institute Not to Come Here altitudes, ho said.

At their meeting in March, the hoard of directors voted to remain in Poughkeepsic. Question of moving may come up again, at least for discussion, at the Annual meeting of the institute next Tuesday and Wednesday at Hotel Stonehaven.

Theodore I. Cowan, manager of the office, said yesterday.

While placements farm workers from March through June totaled: 30, farming has declined 'to such an extent, in Hampden County that the demand on the office is less. than it was several years ago. Ouners of the tobacco fields once got many of their workers through the local office. Most of the these scene jobs of arc operations. now filled closer do.

Moreover, farm hands want $35 to $10 a month, plus board and room, sum that most farmers are loath to pay these days. Total placements for the month of June were 598, but three times as many workers found employment on public jobs as in private work. There is a steady demand for domestic workers, between 60 and 80 being placed each month. A welltrained domestic worker is almost sure of finding EL position, as the demand Rayon Takes Over Cotton Market Supplanting Latter Here as Popular Dress Fabric few. months ago, encouraged by government subsidies in featured adseason in many years, but now cotrapidly and in 1938 enjoyed 1 the best vertising, cotton goods were moving ton: fabrics virtually all- have been supplanted by rayon, the dealers in women's wear report.

Trend Increasing to present indications. the trend toward rayon and allied fabrics will be even greater next year. Rayon manufacturers today produce an amazing variety of fabrics, so versatile is the material. The commonest ones look like silk, but there are spun rayons which look exactly like shantungs, others which have all the characteristics of linen, a new weave that simulates sharkskin and others that look like cotton fabrics but act differently. Garments fashioned from these various materials can compete easily with cotton fabrications, and are more favored by women buyers, the merchants state.

He said that Ebrgood might be released hut should be under constant supervision for three months. He said that men suffering from alcoholie paranoia usually suspected the fidelity their wives.
