When the desired num- ber of names are received we will be enlisted and mustered into the ser- vice. This is not a part of the Na- tional Guard but of the regular army. “In three days time Meriden has given me sixty-three names. An am- tulance company is one of the most desirable units of army work. It is exciting, very mobile and the work is most noble. You young men of New Britaln who are subject to the draft have a fine opportunity of picking your service by joining ‘the Ambu- lante Company if you do 8o im- mediately. This company will un- doubtedly be motor driven and it will see service in France as soon as it is ready for that service. “No positions as non-coms, drivers of aml ces, etc., have been promised, ‘in fact every position is still open and Wwill be until all members are mustered in, so every one has an ‘| equal chance. To join requires men of good education, sound character and to be able to pass - the army physical examination, except that the eye test iz lower than in the infantry. I would like one doctor from New Britain and between twenty-five and fitty men. I would be pleased to have those who are interested send me their names as s0on as possible or make a personal call. They can also consult Dr. 8. W.

THERE’S THE SUPPER BELL Tired Lot of Children Iay Aside Rakes and Hoes Every Day at the Children’s Home. Supper-time is a slegpy time these days at the Babjes' House of . thg Children’s Home. The little tots come in to their supper tired and hungry from their work in the gar- den. Work! you exclaim in horror. Well, they do work, just like beavers. The matron cannot keep them from it. It seems as: if they reasoned that, gardening being the rage at present, they, too, would go at it heart and soul. Sometimes the ar- dor of these little folks between three and eight years of age worries Miss Larson a bit, but if all play is sim- ply imitation of something' already observed, the children may as well imitate gardeners as anything else. How they do labor! One lad stag- gers about for short intervals with a wheelbarrow, that gives him great Joy. Another comes into port with a cargo of weeds on a tiny cart. An- other convoys a load of stones toward the ash pile, not dropping more than half on the way if he has good luck. An energetic lad is practically going over the lawn with a fine tooth comb: since he searched around the cellar, and madle the glorious discovery of & handleless iron rake with which to curry the grass. -One little girl who has all the cHaracteristics of Mary, Mary quu’ contrary, is searching for angle worms over by the fence where | the peas are sprouting. Another is trying to keep the ants from tickling a shrub, while two more look on and yearn for the rain to stop for & good long time, so that they can use a fascinating sprinkling can. Toy dogs and cats and a few dollies are brought out for companionship amid all this toil. It & sympathetic ‘visitor appears on visiting day the little gardeners cheer- fully throw down their tools and gather in a group to sing & few songs, for all the world Hke the double quartet in the Old Homestead. One wee urchin bored by all this nonsense solemnly leaves the ranks, picks out the cart that attracts him most, and disappears around the corner with fit.

Pretty soon they will have a big sand-pile, too, and then embryo archi- tects, miners and engineers will de- velop, along with the gardening squad. Memorial Day was observed in va- rious ways at the different houses. All the older children saw the parade and some went on hikes. The Hart street girls surprised Mr. Klingberg by call- ing him on the telephone and singing “America” to him at long distance. SEQUEL T0 SEARCH OF TROUSERS BANK Wiliam Relyos Bound .

Mrs. Douglas was held for the samie term of superior gourt on similar charges and under. like bonds at a hearing a ‘week ago. Attorney Ringrose agreed to & statement of fact and admission by the defense relative to the married status of Relyea’s woman companion at the hotel the aight in question and in room 4, assigned to them as, it was alleged, they registered as man and wife. Considerable of the testi- mony was spicy and it was conteaded that Relyea and the woman ubed fond terms to each other, the Iatter calil- ing her elderly companion “an old fool” and other endearing descriptive clauses. It was also testified that Relyea. referred to his companion as a “tourist,” said that he had met her m numerous places over & consider- able period of time and complained that she. had cost him much money. He refused to specify as to how he :upwofl to become sequainted with er. Day Clark Willlam Keddie and Manager Henry J. Monsees of = the hotel testified relative to the couple there, how they were regis- tered man and wife and of con- siderable disturbance in room 4, where they were assigned. The latter sald that the trouble became 8o pro- nounced that, upon the woman’s re- quest, she was transferred to room 33. Relyea soon noted her absence and started odt to play hide and seek about the hotel in search of her. Hp made strenuous complaint, it was tes- tified, relative to the "udm»mn: of his wite. Later Relyea discovered, according to his complaint, that $93 had disap- peared from one of his trousers pockets when he had that part of his clothing hung up on the wall. Much put out, he sought out Supernumerary Policeman Michael Brophy, made a complaint of theft and repeated it ‘when Brophy with Policeman Patrick Quirk visited the hotel and located the woman. Their stories resulted in arrests and the preferring of much more serious charges. Willlam Doug- las, husband of the accused, came to her rescue, after beirg located on his route, covering a New England terri- tory as a traveling salesman. Siashes Rival’s Clothes. Alleging that his wife is too inti- mate with John Kelleher, a boarder at the house, and refuses to give him up, Thomas Martin took matters into his own hands yesterday, according to his testimeny in court, and adopted & unique method of vengeanoce. Enter-: ifg Kelleher's room at 466 Arch street, while Kelleher was at his work in Hartford, a suit of Sunday-go-to- meeting clothes was attacked with a knife and converted into rag-bag ma- terial. The clothing, rent in many places, was shown in court as evi- dence. Discovery by Martin of the dilapidated condition caused him to feel that the time had errived when patience ceased to be a virtué, and Po- liceman Thomas Heslin was consult- ed. Martin was escorted to a cell and today was taxed with a fine of $10 and costs. Annle Kulis, also known as Kulack, of 40 Sexton street, again graced the court, being arraigned for intoxica- tion and oreating a rumpus at her home yesterday afternoon.

It was testified that | an ‘order had been placed with an- other concern. Continuance until June 30 was granted. Providence Youth Fined.
