Going to the inside pages of the sheet you will find the editorial page, on which the editor of the paper ofttimes tries to pick an argument by quoting his ideas of a subject. “As to the educational side of the story, the evening schools of New Britain use the newspaper in teach- | ing English and the work of our coun- t Mr. O’Brien, head .of the Ameri- canization board in New Britain, in speaking about the foreigners, said that the first thing taught them is to read. Then they give them the news- paper This draws their interest in | the paper and before long they are reading it line for line.” Mr. Vance then sitched his subject [to the operating” of a newspaper.

Yesterday a man nuiied Sullivan,’ who mave his home as Hartford, en- tered the store of H. A. James on West Main street and the Plainville | Engineering and Supply company on Whiting street, and atiempted to ex- change goods that he had taken from ! the shelves. The plan worked to a perfection at the James store, but failed to pass at the Engincering establishment. Upon entering the mes’ store, shortly before noon, Sul- livan approached Steve James and isked for a pair of infants’' boots. He was shown a cheap pair as requested. When the clerk turned his back to wrap them up, Sullivan reached up to | a nearby shelf and took a pair of shoes. When he received his packag: he showed the box of shoes and said that his father had purchased them there a few days previously and want- ed them exchanged, desiring the money. Mr. James became suspicious when he noticed the dust on the top of the box, and inquired as to its cause. Sullivan immediately answered that house-cleaning was being done at his home with the result that the box became covered with dust. Mr. James gave Sullivan $5.61 for the shoes, taking the difference out for the smaller purchase, Sullivan left the store and headed for the Plainville Engineering store. Here he tried the same game by taking a five pound can of paint from the counter. Rene Broult detectad the act and held the man until Constable Philip Marino ar- rived. Sullivan was placed under ar- rest and taken to Hartford by State Policemen Bridgman and Flynn, At Hartford, Sullivan will bé taken before several of the store proprietors there to be identified as.having carried on the same flim-flam game. There have been no charges by either of the local store men against Sullivan. It is thought, however, that he will be tried in the Plainville Town Court when other cases are pressed against him.
