Gusseppl Garratino, charged with non-support, failed to appear for trial in the police court this morning and his bondsman, James Pavano, was | called upon to produce him or forfeit 1 $200 bonds. The bond was forfeited. Soon after court however, Garratino | visited the station house and was ar- rested on another warrant charging him with assaulting his wife at a time previous to the dates concerned in tha non-support case. Although his bondsman was informed that he had lost $200 by the failure of Garratino to be in court this morning, he put up a third $100 to get his man oue on bonds under the assault charge. !

NEW GUESTS ARRIVE Papa Joffrc Would Be Pleased to Receive Such a Recep- tion As That at ‘Children’s Home. And Even The Gold Dust Twins have arrived at the Children's Home farm on Rack« liffe Heights! No, this is not an ad- vertisement, neither does it refer to the complexion of any little orphan children recently taken into the /shel- ter of the Home. It means that two little black calves have picked out the Rackliffe Heights farm for a boarding place, and both being about the same age and solid black all over, it is the most natural thing in the world for the delighted children to name them after the famous twins of the adver- tisement. Speaking of advertising, it seems a pity sometimes that those in charge cannot follow the example of the per- sistent “‘Before and After” picture ad- vertisers. There is all the aifference in the world between the living condi- tions and personal appearance of many of the children before and af- ter they enter the Children’s Home. Sometimes their otn relatives can scarcely pick them cut. Yesterday all the little tots had their photographs taken, not singly but grouped in va- rous ways, because in a family of 120 it is well to lump things a bit. The youngsters enjoyed it hugely, especial- ly the auto ride home. It was found to be perfectly possible to pack them ten at a time into a Ford car and trundle them home. The Corbin Avenue boys house Is de- serted at present. Last Wednesday the entire household of thirty lads evacuated the place and marching on the Johnson Cottage at Chalker Beach Saybrook, took the place by smfn. The kind-hearted owners of the place have surrendered it unconditionally for two weeks and the boys 'are in complete possession. Their matron Miss Maxson and her assistant are in charge of the group. . MAY DRY FRUITS HERE New Britain Food Committee Seeking Sentiment of Public Regarding Proposition. The New Britain Food committee has appointed a special sub-commit- tee to investigate the need and de- mand ‘or the establishment of a mu- nicipal drying plant where the pub- lic may bring fruits and vegetables to have them dried for preservation. This special committee has established an office in City hall, telephone No. 2212, and all persons interested should call this number. Inasmuch as the committee plans to make a definite report either in favor or against the establishment of a drying plant it is | imperative that all information on the matter be obtained at once as the of- fice will be discontinued shortly. Those seeking information or having “iews fer or against the plan should call the above rumber. Farmers having crops of vegetables or fruits are also advised to call this telephone number as it is the purpose of the New Britain Food committee to co-operate in every possible manner with both the producer and consumer and already. through this committee, Dwight Skinner, head of the Boy Scouts, has set up an employment agency at h's Main street office. Here a farmer may come to secure the ser- vices of boys whe may care to work at picking fruits or vegetables. Reports from the peach growers in- dicate that the price of that fruit will not drop much below $1 per basket this fall, and it is said, the price will range between §1 and $1.50 per bas- ket. RECKLESS DRIVER REPORTED. An automobile going north on East street and moving west on the New- ington road narrowly escaped collid- ing last night at the junction of the two roads. According to a report made to the police one of the drivers negligence nearly caused a serious ac- cident. John Ohlsen of 6§5 Pearl street* was driving the car on the Newington road and made the com- p}aint to the police. BAKERY GAS METER ROBBED. The bakery owned by Woolman Bros. at the corner of Myrtle and Booth streets was entered Thursday night, according to a report made to the police by Constable George A. Stark, who is in charge of the place, and a gas meter opened and robbed. Some small boys will be in court Monday morning to answer to the charge of theft.

They SMOKE SCREENS TO PROTECT STEAMERS Apparatus for Emitting Cloud to Be Installed on Merchantmen Go- ing to War Zone. Washington, D. C., Aug. 18.—Ap- paratus for creating smoke screens for protection from submarines is to be provided soon to every American merchantman entering the war zone. Details are withheld, but a depart- ment of commerce circular reveals that preparations are being made to use not only smoke producing boxes but smoke funnels and phosphorus for supplementing such apparatus. The boxes, to be dropped overboard at the approach of an enemy, will be issued to each ship by the navy de- partment as a part of its naval arm- ament. The more elaborate station- ary funnel contrivances are being are breaking the mailed fist and they deserve Our support, material and moral. Wherefore, extol them. Let other people know of them and the duty they are performing. The Her- ald is trying to advertise their praises and it asks you to help it by filling out the above blank and send- ing in the name of some relative, friend, or citizen who is doing his bit. 'made by private concerns, and ship owners have been asked by both the navy and commerce departments to purchase them direct. So far have the details been ad- vanced that a pamphlet has been is- sued to ship owners describing the best kinds of smoke producing ap- paratus and giving directions for its use. It is taken for granted that a long series of experiments preceded the step, and although officials de- cline to discuss that phase of the mat- ter it is apparent that they expect important results in the direction of making the seas safe for merchant shipping. Use of smoke apparatus to blind submarines is not in itself a new feat- ure of sea warfare, but until now no such elaborate steps have been taken to employ that means of defending merchantmen. could stimulate without special ap- paratus the great smoke screens pro- duced by destrovers to protect them- selves and hide the movements of other units of the fleet, but it has SALE PRICES ON MANHATTAN SHIRTS Known as the Best The Best Known August 16th to September 1st SILK—SILK and LINEN—MADRAS $1.75 to $8.50 Shirts Now $1.35 to $6.35—Large Suits.

MOUNTAIN REBELS SENTENCED. Phipps and McOoy' Going to Atlanta for Five Years. Big Stone Gap, Va., Aug. 18.—Con- victed of States government,” J. W. Phipps and ‘W. V. McCoy, Virginia mountaineers, alleged to have been prominent in ob- taining the sworn suppart of more than 300 other mountaineers in an anti-draft plot, and for hindering the government in perfecting war plans, vears in the federal penitentiary at Atlanta. The jury was out only thirty-five minutes after the case had been sub- mitted.

A written “dec- laration of war,” allleged to have been drawn up by Phipps and McCoy wase introduced, and government witnesses testified they had received offers of small sums of money for joining the forces. Investigation by secret serv- ice operatives tended to show that the men who drew Phipps and McCoy into the pact Were Germans. The agents are said to have obtained the names of hundreds of men who agreed to join in the movement, de- signed, according to testimany offered during the trial, to check ‘“capitalistic dominion,” to destroy bridges, roh farmers and banks in the vicinity, and to divide the spoils among the enlisted men of the organization.
