DESCRIBES MANY USES OF SPEED CONVEYORS J. H. Hough Speaks to New Britain Branch, A. S. M. E. At Trade School Meeting “The productive man has In- creased in size five times in the last 25 years through the use of high productive machinery” accord- ing to a statement made by J. H. Hough of a company making epeed conveyors, at a meeting of the New Britain section, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, last evening. The meeting was held in the state trade school. H. C. Barnes, the new president, presided and announced the start- ing of a new policy, that of em- phasizing the social nature of the society and improving acquaintance- ship among the members. He an- nounced the appointment of B. 8. Lewis, past president, as chairman of a reception committee. There will be fewer meetings this season than usual, Mr. Barnes stated, it having been found that nine meet- ings in & season were more than the men desired. If the factories had not found ways of speeding up the handling of the products in keeping with the more rapid production in years, there would have been con- gestion throughout the plants, ac- cording to Mr. Hough. This method of speeding up began with the set- ting of machinery for sequence op- eration, and devcloped from that start into the use of automatic con- veyors. He showed a number of pictures convey- years, E. H. Prior, p. m.; Masonic |OFS are used in handling material. hall representative, Joseph R. An- drews.

STOLEN CAR FOUND AS GAS GIVES 0UT Thives Make Mistake of Asking Gonstable to Help On the way home from Bridge- port, where they spent Monday night, Tuesday and part of Wednes- day, atter having taken an automo- bile owned by Dr. John L. Kelly in front of his home on Adams street, three local boys made the mistake of stopping Constable James M. Beebe of Orange and asking him for some gasoline, the stolen car having run dry. Sensing that they did not own the car, the constable delayed them a few moments in conversation and assisted by two truck drivers, placed them under arrest and brought them to Milford. The local police were notified and Sergeant P. J. O'Mara, Officer Thomas J. Fecney and James Kelly, brother of Dr. Kelly, drove down and brought the trio back. In police court this morning, two of the youths, Albert Mankus, aged 17, of 360 North Burritt street and Anthony Fedorczyk, aged 17, of 341 North Burritt street, pleaded guilty to the charge of theft of the auto- mobile, but Judge Alling ordered pleas of not guilty and after Mankus had been put on the witness stand by Assistant Prosecuting Attorney W. M. Greenstein, the judge said he believed no statement should be made by either boy. “They have made statements already,” he sald. “The maximum penalty for this of- fense is ten years in prison. This court cannot take jurisdiction,” and he found probable cause, binding both over to the December term of superior court. He fixed bonds at $1,000 in the case of Fedorczyk and $3,000 in Mankus’ case, Mankus be- ing on parole from the state re- formatory since November 12. The third boy, whose age is 14, was heard In chambers and his case con- tinued for a further hearing in Juvenile court. Steal Car in Front of Home According to admissions which the polic' say were made by the boys, Manlkus drove the car. The trio met on North Burrltt street Monday evening and walked down town to- gether after deciding to take a car for a ride to Bridgeport. Going through Walnut Hill park they saw Dr. Kelly's car in front of his home and after rolling it down the incline, they boarded it and drove through Southington, Cheshire and New Haven. Arriving in Bridgeport, they hid the car in a wooded section and went to a theater. After the show, they slept in the car, and the follow- ing day they put it In a garage and went to other sho\.s In the afternoon and evening. They slept in the car Tuesday night and yesterday they started for home, intending to leave the car on the streets here. Mankus fs well known in police circles, having been committed to the reformatory for theft of a num- Dber of articles in petty jobs about thecity. His brother is in the re- formatory at Elmira, N.
