W. Smith home in Waterford damaged by fire Friday night ed at $1,500. Isobel Dickinson, who had a nar- row escape from death in the fire, was budly burned about the legs when her & caught fire. After much of the day in the session of the criminal superior court here Thurs- day had been taken up with conferences, as a result of which a number of cases were disposed of, the first trial of the term was begun about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Court adjourped half an hour later after one witness had been put on the stand and had not completed his tes- timony. The case brought to %rial is that against John A. Johnson of New London, who is accused of obtaining $350 by false pretenses on Oct. 14, 1920, from Osborn Sharples of Groton. It is charged that Johnson represented to Sharples that he had a patent on a so-called “side contor- tion,” which was an invention supposed of automobile more safe and satisfactory. But the state claims that Johnson's al- leged ownership of the patent was pretty much of a flivver, as it is charged he had no such patent and was getting money trom Sharples under false pretenses when he sold him a half interest in the patent. State Attorney Hadlai A. Hull is prose- cuting _the case, assisted by Attorney Thomas A. Troland. Judge Herbert W. Rathbun and Senator B. H. Hewitt are counse] for Johnscn. The following was the jury drawn for the case by Clerk Parsons: Martin E. Jensen, Norwich; Appleton Main, Fred- erick Ellis and Charles Gosda, Preston; Ernest French, Griswold ; Frank P. Fowl- er, Lebanon; William A. Burgess, Boz- rah; Louis H. Smith, Franklin; William Bouchard, Curtis L. Hazen, “Sprague; Charles F. Johnson, Lisbon; George A. Tanner, Voluntown. The other jurors were excused till 10 o'clock next Tuesday morning. The state opened the case against Johnson by putting Osborn Sharples of Eastern Point road, Groton, on the stand. He testified that he has been an automo- bile mechanic for 19 years. In 1920 he was in charge of the garage of the Gro- ton Iron works. Before that he had been private chauffeur for Judge Shea of Springfield, Mass. first became acquainted with Johnson at the accused blacksmith's shop in Noank about 13 months ago. About September. 1920, the witness said, Johnson told him he had an invention side-contor- tion for a Ford automobile. Johnson went to his house and brought a pattern of the patent to the blacksmith shop, the wit- ness said. Johnson showed print of the ent, State Attorney Hull off as an exhibit in The witnes: testified that he and Johnson went to At- torney Walker's office, where they had conversation about the patent. Johnson offered to sell a half interest in the $350. The witness testified Johnson met by appointment son couldn’t remember the nu ners’ Savings bank in New London. This to made riding in a certain popular make, The witness said he T of his patent but said he had it in his house| and the papers were drawn up and sign- ed. Sharples said he went from Walker's | office with Johnson stra > the Mar was on Oct. 14, 1920, and he drew $350 and gave the money to Johnson right from the window. The Witness produced a savings bank book in court showing the withdrawal of $350 on Oct. 14, 1920. It left a balance of $291.53 in the bank. Continuing his testimony, Mr. Sharples said that Johnson showed him wooden samples of the patent before Sharples paid the money. The Wooden samples were put in as_exhibi Judge Allyn L. Brown adjourned court at“#:30. The trial of the Johnson case will be taken up again next Tuesday morning, but court will come in again this (Friday) morning to consider other cases on the docket. Other Cases Settled. During the afternoon session of court, just before the Johnson trial was begun, Frank Jakobik and his wife Sophia of Bozrah changed their pleas to guilty of the charge of assault and battery on Jennie Chapman on Aug. 16. Judge Brown made the sentence for each six months in jail, with sentence suspended Ginder probation. The bill of costs is to be paid within a week. Attorney Rod- erick F. Douglass was counsel for the accused. A nolle absolute was directed -in the case of Frank Choineski, accused of theft of $20 worth of cotton cloth on May 26 from Palmer Bros! mill at Fitchville. Public Defender Stewart was assignea to the man as counsel. In the morning session of court Her- bert Hanson, 15, and Frank Padziewski, 16, of Montville, charged with attempt to rob Helen Smith in Montville on Aug. 12, pleaded guilty and they were sen- tenced to six months in jail, sentence was suspended and they were placed on pro- bation for a year. They were arrested by Deputy Sheriff Hickey of Montville on the charge of going into a store which Miss Smith was caring for while her father was at dinmer and of holding her up at the point of a gun. The case against John Goyette, 65, of Glasgo, this state, charged with indecent ssault, was continued and he was placed on probation. The cases of the state vs. Harry Baron, Sargo Bosko, Michael Kalada, Michael Karol and wife, Andrew Kawolenko and wife, Jerry Laputse, Antiff Pierszalic and wife, all of Bozrah, and Michael Shamit of Norwich were nolled on payment of costs.

WILL MAKE NO CHARGE FOR AUTOMOBILE INFORMATION Commissioner of Motor V has been notified by the te tax commission hat it has considered its letter of two weeks asking to be paid for looking up for tI authorities New York c ivers are belicved to have ted the laws of this state. It decided to make no charge in the futurc for such cooperaticn. It was esfter information about New York cars had been denied the state police over the long distance telephone and a of i cents eac te Policeman Nic about certain cars compelled to travel headquarters in New York state that Director Lord of the New York sta‘e tax commission reply- ing to a protest of Dep Motor Ve- hicle Commissicner MacDonald of Con- necticut, sent the fcllowing letter: “Information as to owners of certain number is given upon' receipt of six cents, which is the fee required by law. It is impossible to give this information cles Stoeck- New el for for which ation was he to the department oven the telephone since the fee for search must be paid in advance.” Motor Vehicle Commissioner Stoeckel replied that this ruling would make it impossible to identify stolen cars prompt- ly, and adopte: pedient of forward- ing a check for to the New York office as a deposit to be drawn upon whenever information was sought by the Connecticut department. He informed the New York authorities however, that this state would continue to cooperate with the authorities in any way possible and without charge. Direcfor Lord, who is in charge of the motor vehicle bureau of the state tax commission, sent the following answer: “I am in recdpt of your letter of Aug- ust 27, enclosing check, which I am re- turning and assure you this department will be pleased to give you information in regard to cars at any time without charge. “We recelve so many requests from our own people that we feel obliged to make a charge.

Meredith, the ner of education in ref- erence to the lengthening of the school car by two weeks beginhing with the term which opened this week. Dr. Méredith said that the addition of two weeks to the school year makes the length exactly what it was twenty years ago or 190 days. 2 Dr. Meredith added that the school ear of 1920-21 opened with an ample upply of teachers for the schools of the state. There is no dearth of teach- ers now. This satisfactery situation different from that which existed last year when there was a gerious insuf- ficlency of teachers. Not only is the poly of teachers ample but the stand- ard of requirements gives an assurance that the teachers will be competent and that their work in the school room will be efficient. There are about 7,800 public school teachers in the state and they must measure up to a standard which is a guarantee of their fitness to teach “You cannot they are not remark of Dr. state commis: when the youth of the state. The standard is a high school education and, where a normal school course is not taken. atendance for six weeks at an approved summer normal school except in cases wheve the previous work of the teacher proves her ability to teach. There is no lack of teachers and there will be no incompetent teachers. This gratifying condition has been brought about by the recent changes in the school laws and by the financlal assistance which the state gives to the small tewns to en- able them to pay decent salaries. Thi assistance is rendered In the form of grants. There are ninety six small towns in the supervisory system and they in- clude the smallest towns in the state. Every school in thes€ towns will b€ in charge of a teacher who will be compet- ent to teach and who will be encouraged to do her best work by the salary which she receives. Dr. Meredith sald that normal school students who are given scholarships of $150 a year for two years on condition that after thein graduation they will teach in country towns for three years will be required to live up to the condi- tions of the scholarships. Im the past some of them have not observed these conditions and the state has not had the of their traime) serwices as teachers for which it contracted when bestowing the scholarships. If a nor- mal graduate wishes to be released from the obligation of the scholarship she will be required to refund the amount of the scholarship, $300 to the EYES TIRED? If your eyes are tired and over- worked; if they itch, ache, burn or smart, go to any drug store and get a bottle of Bon-Opto tablets. Drop one tablet in a fourth of a glass of water and use to bathe the eyes from two to four times a day. You will be surprised at the rest, relief and comfort Bon-Opto brings. Note: Doctors say Bon-Opto strengthens eyesight 50 per cent in.g week's time in many instances.

As a matter of fact some of |§COUT ALLEN LATHAM, JR., those who have had scholarships but who have found after their graduation that it was not to their advantage to teach in country scheols for three years have refunded the monty. The towns in which the normal graduates holding scholarships are required to teach for three years are those which have a grand list of $1,500,000 and under. Com- missioner Meredith will insist’ on the graduates complying with the terms of the scholarship. “All children in small towns may now have a high school education,’ said Dr. Meredith. This is an important state- ment and it removes the obstacle to a high school education which the boys and girls of rural communities have in the past encountered in securing a high school education and which was looked on as one of the disadvantages of resi- dence in a small town. The removal of the obstacle has been brought ahout by the law passed at the last session of the general assembly by, which the state very materialiy increased its grant to towns for the tramsportation of chil- dren to high schocls and the amount which it will pay the towns for the high school tuition. Rural towns must now provide for the high school edu- cation for their youth and they cannot plead poverty cr for any other reason inability to meet the small part of the expense which they will be required to assume. Dr. Meredith said the condition of the normal schools is very satisfactory. At all the normal schools In the state the attendance of students wi'l be larze this year. He expected the new dormi- tory at the Willimantic normal school will be filled. The school year of 1921-22 starts with an envmeration of about 300.000 children in the state and with the con- dition of education very much improved CROWDED CONDITIONS SHOWN on Wednesda school facilities is ag: as the congested conditions this year are even more marked than in previous years, especially in the first grades.

At High street three teachers are needed and at present the work of three teachers is be ing done by two. At Pear] street school the second grade teachers are assisting in the first grade, and a reorganization of the teaching system is taking place owing to the overcrowding 'of the other schools.
