CLASS DAY COLORS ORANENT ARLES Fair Sex Adopts Novel Mode at High School From prehistoric times, the fe- male of the species has instinctively “dolled herself up” in fine feathers to attract the male of the species. From away back in the days when man first arose from: all fours and began to stand upright, mate put ferns and hits of palm leaves in her hair, or hung a neck- lace of tiger teeth around her neck, to the present day flapper styles of short skirts, jeweled garters and other accessorles, the Instinct as well as the metod has changed but little. Grandmother's bustle was not by any means above suspicion, neither was the old fashioned hoop skirt, which modern criticism and exposure has dragged from its pedestal of false modesty. But New Britaln today showed herself to be right in the front line of new and attractive ideas. Class Day at the Senior High school al- ways means the wearing of class colors. The time has gone when these colors are worn on coat lapels, at least insofar as the fairer than ever sex is concerned. Class Day ribbons today were worn neatly tled with an attractive bow around the dainty ankles of the charming students. They were neat, they were pretty, they were attrac- tive, and no criticism was leveled at the wearers. Even elements agreed that the new vogue was a good one and the raln which has been drenching the city all week, held off %0 that even the sun could shine through and smile at the dainty bit of feminine conceit. YOUTHFUL GANG OF BANDITS ARRESTED (Continued From First Page) again he told them to get off the streets and go homie. that they were waiting for an Oak street bus, but he told them it was too late for a bus. They went along Main street and turned in at the Hotel York, a move which further aroused the officer's suspicions, 80 he and Officers George Collins and M. J. Moore decided to follow. Officer Collins went through the Burritt school yard, while the other officers went through the alleyway route taken by the boys. rear of the hotel, they found a closed car from which the markers had been removed and thrown under an incinerator.\ Two of the hoys were taken to the police station, the others having dropped from sight, but a short time later, a third youth was brought in and on being ques- tioned, the trio admitted the car had been stolen and they had robbed the Middletowh man of approximately $40. A mearch was made for the two missing members of the party, without success, and despite an im. | and his| They replied | In the | tured today, Steal Auto In New Haven The arrested youths gave their names as follows: Thomas Bove, aged 16, of 95 HIll street, New Ha- ven; Eugene Onofrio, aged 16, of 84 Portsea street, New Haven; Vincent Qenovese, aged 19, of 10 Prince street, New Haven. Onofrio, in signed statement wit- nessed by Lieutenant Rival and Ser- geant Flynn, said he met Pongetti on Lafayette strect, New Haven, early yesterday afternoon and as ithey were walking past New Haven hospital, Pongetti remarked that a |car parked at the curb could be |taken easily. Suiting action to the words, he entered the car, followed by Onofrio, and they rode away, Pongetti driving. Near the school on Prince street they picked up Mauro, Genovese, Bove and Patsy Devicco, and drove to West Haven, When they return- ed to New Haven, Devicco left the |car and the other continued to Middletown. In Cromwell, they saw Ziokower standing beside his automobile truck as he was selling produce to a woman. According to Onofrio, Mauro remarked “Here's where we get some money for gas- oline,” and stopping the car, he Jjumped out and put a revolver up to the peddler and ordered him to put up his hands. Onofrio searched { him and took a. roll of bills from | one pocket and some change from | another pocket. He turned over the | money to Mauro while Bove, work- | | ing rapldly, removed the spark plugs | from the truck so that Ziokower| could not give chase. Arriving in New Britain, the bandits parked the car in the rear of the Hotel York and went to the Rialto theater, After the perform- ance they went to a restaurant and on returning to the car, they re- moved the matkers and hid them under the Incinerator, Pongetti and Mauro left to steal another set of markers and while the others were awaiting their return, they were ap- prehended. Planned Trip To New York Bove, in his #statement, said Pon- getti and Mauro were to have driv- en the other youths back to New Haven after fastening different markers to the car, as they realized the police about the state would be on the lookout for the stolen car. Pongetti and Mauro ) planned to continue on to New York in the car, according to Bove's statement. Al- | though he admitted his part in the | highway robbery, Bove insisted that he did not learn the ecar was stolen in New Haven until he reach- | ed New Britain. - After the Cromwell | | hold-up, he and his companlons were given $1 each, as Onofrid re- | marked that the loot was not as, heavy as he expected. | { The police believe that Mauro | { and Pongetti stole a set of markers | | from a car owned by Joseph Pavano | ot 76 Lafayette street, Pavano re- | porting this morning that the mark- | | ers were taken during the night. His | | car was in the rear of his home, which is a short distance from the | Hotel York. A woman living in a { house in the rear of the hotel told | Ofticer Collins she saw the young men leave the car in the late after~ noon. They came back at about 6 | o'clock, she said, and removed the markers. { A glance at the Herald Classified | | Ads will convince you of their worth. NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD.

Scott McBride, generl) superin- tendent of the league, said: “We belleve that such a program is the best answer the Anti-Saloon league can make o the efforts of the wets who are seeking to eurb HOSIERY our activities by stopping the fina: clal support of our friends.
