It was explained S. X. markers are for use only in taking a ear from the point of delivery to the place of business of the dealer. The claim was that the Eimer Automobile Co. sent a delivery- car, purchased by H. L. Mills, to him f with these markers and when he re- to accept it because it had second hand tires, an attempt was made to take it back to the office. lawyer Frank Rohyrmeyer of Hartford appeared-for Mr. Elmer and pleas of nolo contendere were entered in each case. Because it appeared that Mr. Elmer has made an honest attempt to-see that his agents observe this law, he was let off with the payment of costs. Reynolds was dis- charged. Abortion Case Continued. Mrs. Eliza Pongetti, charged with abortion, was again arraigned today but her case was continued until March 16 ,when it was stated that the alleged victim, Mrs. Julia Montara of Bristol is still ill in New Haven hospital John and court again proprietor, Tewis B charge markers that the fused a Paul Dziochan, brothers, who live at 181 Grove street,/ were charged with ulting each other.

The impression that heatless and workless Mondays caused a large number of purchasers to Stop pay- ments on their bonds is not borne out by facts learned in an investigation, the results of which are just report- ed by the Liberty Loan committee of New Engand. Inquiries were bundred corporations asking the number of subscribers and of de- faulters to the first and second loans on the partial payment plan. Rep have been received from 812 cor- porations. The results show that for the entire New BEngland states only five and one-half per cent of sub- seribers to the second loan have de- faulted in their payments, as com- pared with mineteen per cent who de- faulted in the first loan. Maine, with forty-three corpora- tions replying, employing 14,033 per- sons, reports that 1502 subscribed to the first issue of bonds, or eleven per cent of the number of workers.

An- nouncement of the purpose to such a campaign was made some time ago by the children’s bureau and the child-welfare department of the wom an’s committee of the council of v tional defer and the which has surpassed all indicates that efforts to promote health and welfare of children are to be more vigorous this year than ever before. expectation, dren under fivi big program 000,000 for the welfare of 30.- children under fifteen in the country. It is realized by all con- cerned that the standards of child protection must not be relaxed during war time, and the United States is ex- pected to profit by the experience of other warring countries, where the importance of safeguarding childhood is emphasized as never before.

To the second loan 2,247 sub- scribed, twenty-nine per cent of the workers, and only six per cent de- tanlted. In Vermont, fifteen corporations re- ported, employing 21,441 persons, of whom 2,098 subscribed to the first ‘loan, ten per cent, and nineteen per cent of those who subscribed de- faulted. To the second loan 2,466 subscriptions were reported, eleven per cent, and only six per cent de- faulted. In Rhode Tsland reported, employing 55,000 people. Of these thirty-one per cent, or 16,817 persons subscribed to the first loan. Sixteen per cent defaulted. To the second loan the proportion of per- sons subscribing fell off to nineteen per cent. Of these, however, only five per cent have defaulted. In Conmecticut 232 employers have reported, employing 11,427, of whom 19, persons, forty-two per cent, subscribed to the first loan. Defaults were made by ecighteen per cent. To the second loan 38,674 persons sub- scribed, thirty-three per cent, and the defaults have only amounted to six per cent.

To the second loan twenty-eight per cent subscribed and one-half per cent of these defaulted. This is a most gratifying showing and quite effectually disposes of the theory that a large number of de- faults have peen made because of dissatisfaction among the workers over the workless Mondays. It also indicates the advisability of contin- uing the partial payment plan during the third loan which is now ap- proaching. THIS WOMAN KNOWS She Proved that Lydia E.
