Manhattan 121-125 Main Street “EVERYTHING MEN AND WOMEN WEAR” K=Il=fl=fl=lfi=ll=flai The Daniel E. ‘Armold watch qml jewelry store on the ‘second floor of the Potter-Langworthy building, espe- cially stocked for the Christmas trade, ‘was entered by a burglar during Mon- day night and watches, jewelry, foun= tain pens, etc, were taken to the value 6f about $700. There are no marks about the door to indicate. that entrance was forced and it is believed the door was opened with the aid of a key. The entrance was probably ‘ef- fected after the temants of the other rooms on the floor had departed for the night, 'and the burglar went on with his work at ease and without fear of detection. Since the death of her husband, about two months ago, Mrs. Arnold has conducted the business, and the robbery was discovered Tues~ day morning when she came to busi- ness from her home in Ashaway. * While no marks on the door indicate that it bad been pried open, the find- ing of a screw driver near by leads the police to surmise that the bolt of the lock was pushed back by this instrument and the door then opened. The bureau of military affairs re- ports that during the past fiscal year the sum of $10,980 was expended for the Rhode Island National guard,.as follows: Compensation for care of material, animals and equipment, $1,- 129; pay of property and disbursing officers for the United States, $102; for issues of equipment, etc.. $339; eqdipment and incidental expenses, $300; transportation of supplies, $102. The river and harbor bill carries these appropriations for Rhode Islan Providence river and harbor, Paw. tucket river, Newport harbor, harbor of refuge at Point Judith and Block Island, entrance to Point Judith pond and Great Salt pond, Block Island, and completing Pawtucket river improve- ment, $61,440; completing improve. ment Point Judith harbor of refuge, | $35,000.

To make sure of getting good ones, buy only of producers who protect you as to quality.
