There still is plenty nf room in
N'e'.v Britain for thousands of citi

the "country" sections of the city
for lack of iniprov nun's.
If all parts of New Britain were
built up it is estimnted conservative
ly that there would he room for
200,060 people wi'hln the present,
confines of the town.
But a lack of improv r np'-nts dis
courages the settling of these out
lying parts. When even the roads
or streets are mere wide paihs,
not to mention a lack of sewers and
city water, people cannot he blamed
for avoiding these parls of New Brit
ain when home hun'inc.
As soon as one leaves Jerome
street and enters Hunt or road its
continuation the rural aspect
grows. Hunter road crosses Osgood
avenue, where there is a settlement
and where a fine m w public school
has been constructed. In a wide

is the only sipu of civilization.

which in turn runs into Stanley

Returning to Jerome street, one
can go west and reach Slater road,
which virtually encircles the western
part of the city, slightly skirting into
the town ot Farmington In doing so.
Slater road runs, crescent slinprd,
all the way from West .Main to the

NOW.U'AYS
One. sixth of the lumbrr being
nse-l in the i;nttd S'ates now
comes from th? state of Washing
ton. Lumber from that Pacific
commonwealth, is finding its way
Into the construction of homes In
New Kngland; freight rates mak'
the cos's high, although much of
it reaches the Atlan'ic coatt
through the Panama canal. But In
the latter class It is necessary to
ship the lumber from the interior
ot Washington to the seaports,
then reload on boats, then trans
port to New England ports, and
then tranship by freight trains.
Transportation costs, either by rail
direct or by ship, adds much to in-
price, as builders can testify.
If New Kngland could produce
sufficient lumber for its needs from
its own forests the situation would
be different. It would cost less to
cons' ruct a house or apartment and
the lessened cost of construction
would be a saving to the people of
tlnsc states.
There are 3"t logging camps and
s'iO saw mills In the state o! Wash

resources of the state will go Iho on the Central at Albany and west

tations will be Increased enormous
ly. There- is still plenty of lumber
on the earth, but not In this coun
try. When It is realized that one
sixth of our entire supply Is In that
one state It can be estimated that
the "stands" In any of the other 47
states arc alight In comparison.
The government, however, has
enormous timber lands In the far
west, but these lands will go un
touched
by the woodsman's axe, If
the present conservation policy is
not changed. To retain this timber
Is deemed necessary In order to
prevent floods throughout large
areas. Nothing aids the possibility
of suffering by floods so much as
denuded plains or mountain sides.
Treeless states also are subject to
severe storms, such a harass the
far-west prarie state.
The government conserves its
government reservations new ones
of trees na well as cutting them
down would have made it possible
for the lumber industry to survive
in many states where it formerly
thrived. For Instance, the lumber
Industry in Michigan once produced
many milllonaries but It isn't pro.
ducing any today because there is
no lumber of consequence left. The
same experience is likely to con
front Washington In the course of
a few decades.
A great supply of lumber is avail
able In Canada, but there are
stringent laws in force, and more
are contemplaed looking toward
better conservation, even on private
"stands," than in the past..

IX "MAKING" GOLD
It appears that an atom has been
"disintegrated" without woeful con
sequences, and if Dr. Adolph
Mlethe, of the Charlottenburg
Technical school, Berlin, is to be
ciieved. he thereby succeeded In
kins: synthetic gold out of qulck
thver. Two sentences from his exper
iences, told in a conservative and
scientific manner in the New York
Herald-Tribune, are illuminating:
"fine component of the dis
imeeraterl quicksilver atom was
obtained in computable amount
by analysis, it showed to
.1" of a. milligram of gold. Be
cause of the incredibility of
our finding and in accordance
wi:h prevailing technique in
presenting such matter, wc an
forced at this time to content
ourselves with establishing the
rave fact of (havirgi ol taincd
cold bvond all doubt."
Plnce that time the Feientinc
American has employd scientists
! upon a similar quest. There 1s no
reason to doubt the story of the
; German scientist, his narra'ive be
i in iven in the utmost det:il and
.,,, ia.fiible. It is prob
able the Scientific American scien-
tlsta will be able to achieve the
r,.sits with the principle thus
un(lilr(hp(j
-,,.,,,, not be concluded that
synthetic gold necessarily will be
produced in such vast, quantities as
to affect our financial fabric, which
Is based on the gold standard. Dr.
Mid he recounts that his experl-
tan-.t lasted three months, and
at
'he end the gold produced was
barely "computable." At this rate
the cost of producing gold
eunkrilvw might cost more
from :
than i
the small nuantlties are
vvenh.
However, i' is a beginning, the re
eliration of a dream of humanity
evr since the precious metals be
iime precious in the es of men
to b" able to produce them in-
f rlrpendirg upon
finding
tlvni t favored plaees
on tho
r.irth's surface.
Should gold eventually be made
4n such quantities as to become
comparatively common, it is pos
sible that the s'ai.ili'y of the gold
s-andard of values might be Im
paired. t.RtAT m:w cut-OKI-AH'KITS

his execution, had to choose between
friendship and duty, It was learned
recently.
O'Connor was a close friend of
Mr. O'HIgglns and had acted as his
best man at the latfr'a wedding only
six months before the sentence of
death was passed. Mr. O'HIgglns,
although every effort was made to
havt him agree to aave his friend,
refused to grant reprieve.
The agonizing struggle between
duty and friendship completely over
came Mr. O'HIgglns, but perhaps the
most dramatic feature of all was
when the dead man's will was open -
ed and It was discovered that he had
left all his money to the minister of
justice.
