Miss Catherine Brady and Miss Grace West of the Bugbee & Wulf store are spending a_week’s vacation in New York. Miss Eila Dofan of the mililnery depart- ment is also having her vacation. In the city court Monday merning Charles Saxon pleaded guilty to shooting craps.and was fined $5- and <costs. No evidence was. introduced, so the specta- tore did not have their curiosity grati- fied as to whére the game of. African pool ‘'was played. Edward Caros was charged with driv- ing an’automobile without a license and with driving an unregistered car; also ‘with ‘driving a car with borrowed number plates. . The defendant told the court that the woman for whom he drives had not had her car out this year. He said on that account he had Tot taken out a driver’s license for himself. He fixed his brother's automovile and when he had it riearly done found he needed a part, so took znother can, changed the numbers and drove to Putnam for the part want- ed. He said this was all° he had driven. ‘When records were produced to show that he had bought from 40 to 50 gallons of gasoline a month, he admitted that possibly he had driven a little more. He was fined a total of $30 with costs. Orrin Smith, 85, whose death oceurred in Killingly Saturday, was for a long time a resident of Putnam, where he was a wagonmaker and blacksmith. He was probably the oldest country blacksmith in the state and up to one or two years ago would shoe a pair of oxen, “just to show the young fellows ho: and to keep his hand in. He was born in Can- terbury Feb. 20, 1838, son of Jeremiah and Martha Kennedy Smith. He came to Putnam when a young man. Twenty-five years or more ago he went to Attawau- gan and opened a shoo. Since then he has lived most of the time in Killingly but was a figure frequently seen on the streets of Putnam. where he often came to trade. Mr. Smith leaves a daughter, Mrs. N. S. Brown. Putnam lodge of Elks is planning to send a large delegation to Willimantic on Putnam night at the Elks' carnival of | the Thread The committee of ar- rangements includes A. Newton Vaughn, John Lynch, R. E. Thurston, Fred Gagne and Ralph Bradford. At least one band, and probably more, will accompany the local delegation, as Putnam lodge has jurisdiction over Danielson, Webster, Southbridgs and the smaller towns be- tween. The Willimantic lodge sent a large delegation with two bands when Putnam lodge had its carnival a few weeks ago, and the Putnam members in- tend to reciprocate—and then some! Dr. Harry Foster of New York, a for- mer Putnam boy and graduate of the Putnam High school, now an eminent nose, throat and ear specialist, is at his summer home on the Putnam Heights road. His family has been here since the first of July. His brother-in-law, Dr. Sheppard, of New York and his sis- ter, Mrs. Sheppard, with their children are here also. Dr. Foster is holding a clifc_ at the Day Kimball hospital every day this week. Those who have noticed the large num- ber walking to and from the Day Kimball during visiting hours, evenings and Sunday afternoons realize that a sidewalk from the property of the Put- nam Woolen company to the hospital gate is badly needed. The road is the main theroughfare from the city to Pom- feet and there is almost a continuous stream of automobiles passing and re- passing. Pedestrians have to use the side of the road, and there have been several minor accidents and conditions are such that a serious accident might appen. The nurses walking back and forth to the business section also cover this route. Those interested in the wel- fare of the hospital believe something should be done to relieve the now dan- gerous condition on this section of high- | way. Pedestrians ace not free from danger, however careful they may be, as passing, automobiles crowd them to the extreem side of the highway and they have to keep a continuous watch in both directions Monday night a telegram was sent to New -York for an additional number “of children for the fresh airs who will ar- rive Putnam Wednesday afternoon on the New York express. At least 66 will come, and possibly more. The children will be met by the various town commit- tees at the station. Never has there been ‘s much interest manifested in the coming of the boys and girls from New York's East Side. People who are spend- lthe cause of the lost game ing the summer hereabouts have inter- ested themselves. In the yards of farms and homes where children are to spend the two weeks swings and hammocks are being put up in shady places and out- door games arranged. A number of Putnam people called on John B. Daigle at the state tuberculosis sanatorium in Norwich Sunday. Mr Daigle was found to be in the best of spirits and with pluck and courage which will be an asset in restoring him to health. He appreciates all the kindness- es shown him and his family. Periodicals and magazines are in great demand by the patients of the institution, many of whom have to spend much time in. bed. These are passed about and all enjoy them. If Putnam people care to con- tribute magazines they will be transport- ed without expense to the shut-ins if left at the store of W. J. Bartlett, Main street, not later than Thursddy noon. Messrs. Shippee, Stamm and John B. Byrne of the state banking department were guests of Treasurer Daniel Byrne of the Putnam Chamber of Commerce at the weekly mid-day luncheon of the chamber at the Putnam inn Monday. Mr. Sanborn of the Sanboen Chemical works, ‘one of the new members recently admitted to the chamber. was present as proxy for Vice President W. E. Moss. Other directors present or represented by Proxy were President Newton A. Vaughn, Vice Presidents E. C. Rogers, Treasurer Daniel J. Byrne, Miss Katherine Byrne, Howard C. Bradford, representing Judge F. F. Russell. John T. Hanlon, repre- senting R. W. Boys, Charles T. Thayer, O. E. Wulf and Assistant Secretary Jo- seph Ryan. Very little business was transacted. Mr. Wulf, for the sub-com- mittee on public band concerts, reported the increasing success of this new. ven- ture. He stated that hereafter Union square would be covered with a proper dressing to allow dancing each week and that various bands might be engaged as the season progresses. It was a=dreary afternoon for Nightingale-Morse, Inc., baseball team on Main street grounds Sunday, for they lost a game that by all odds should have been theirs. They were beaten by the K. of C. team from Franklin, Mass., 4 to 3. and the defeat can be traced directly to some bad coaching, some bad base running, or a little of each. While it does little ood for the fans to point out what might have heen, they seé' clearly with the Kaceys. In fact. they can put their fin- gers precisely upon it. It all happened in the third inning, when Tetreault, who led off for the locals, reached the first corner on a clean single to center fiell Auger followed and fanned. With Carey at the bat. Tetreault got off his base, either with the intention of stealing or not real- izing he was so far from his moorings. Riley. pitching for Franklin, shot the horsehide to the first bageman. - Seeing himself trapped, Tetreault set out hotfoot for second, bt didn’t have the ghest of a chance of ching the sack in safety. the Kenney nabbed him with oven arms. Carey singled the next ball, and Maher followed this with a double. Had Tet- reault not become involved in the foolish play that sent him to the bench, these two hits would have sent him #crose the plate instead, and Putnam would have at least tied the score, and in all probability won, for Maher's hit was. den 1 Carey would likely have crossed on it. But this is all what might have n and the fact is that the visitors took the game home with them, largely as the re- sult of the aforementioned bone play, and couvled with the fact that they bunched hits and scored runs. outhit the Kaceys, ‘but Riley kept things so scattered that runs did not follow. He was only in danger once, the sixth, when a combination of hite and errors did give the local mill lads a temiVrary ray of hope. Riley soon tightered un and never again did Putnam get a look-in. Tetreault was in his glory at the plate in Sunday's game, and connected four times in as many trins to the plate, All of his hits were singles. Every Night- ingale. with the excention of Benoit, made a hit during the afternoon, but they were so far between that no dam- age resulted 3 DeForest pitched good ball for Putnam, though he found himself in one or two bad holes. In the fourth inning, with three men on bases, he fanned two men and the side was retired with only one score. In all, eight of the visitors struck out, as against seven of the Putnam bat- ters. The game was halted ‘temporarfly In: the sixth inning while Umpire Stephen, Captain Faucher of Putnam and numer- ous players on both sides tried to settle by argument a play which the Franklin men “guestioned. Faucher had scored Putnam’s first run on a ball that through bad fielding had been thrown into the first base bleachers. The visitors claimed he had not rounded third at the time of the play, and consequently was. entitled to that base only, and mot the plate. Stephens ruled that Faucher should be allowed both, and stuck by his decision. The Kaceys showed signs of indignation but returned to the field. the next Putnam batter drove out double, as far as the game was concerned i i N“"lfi“‘" ] 'IW.F rwnuu- |U ||‘ Putnam | | stunts- or fiying dangerously Inasmuch as $8,000/IN NORW!CH FAEIR GROUNDS, AUGUST 10, 11, 12 - .Fastest Horses in New England .~ PROGRAMME STARTS AT 2 P.

MAY ADOPT AEROPLANES FOR STATE POLICE WORK Adaption of the accopiane to police work may become a fact in Connecticut following a conference between Motor Vehicle Commissioner ‘Robbins B. Stoeckel, secretary of the state police commission, and Hiram Percy Maxim. chairman of the Hartford aviation com- mission. A conference was held during the past week at which aeroplane police and the more stringent enforcement of the sections of thé Connecticut general statutes. pectaining to aircraft were dis- cussed, and another conference on the same matters is to be held soon. Mr. Maxim has said that he feit that aeroplanes would be of little use in pur- suing criminals in_the-cities, owing to the ease. with. which hunted men can disap- pear in.buildings there, but they would have an obvious value in the country districts, especially in pursuing criminais in automobiles. The. highest powered car stands little chance of running. away from an aeroplane, especially since the acroplane is not limited to the windings of the road. Police aeroplanes in other sections have been equipned with ma- chine guns, and it is believed that a scout piane of the type used on the western front during the war would be of im- mense service in preventing the escape of many crimin&s who now make their get- away by the use of fast cars, With the increase in the number and use of aeroplanes for cormercial pur- poses th¥re has also come legislation gov- erning their use, one of the provisions on the ‘general statutes of the state requir- ing each plane operated here to secure a license from the secretary of state and to have displayeéd on the machine in letters not ‘less than three feet high the number of the license of ‘the plane. Of course, the “ordinary agencies of enforcing the law are helriess against an aviator who violates this law provided he has a few seconds start and can then fly to another state. cver, the aviator would have no better chance of escaping than an autoist with- out license plates has of eluding pursuit lin a dash across the state. The adoption of radio as a_means of communication between aeroplanes and ground stafions would alés increase the efficiency of the .air patrol. as by that means an aviator would summon assist- ance from flying fields scattered through the state. ~Hartford would probably be selected as the headquarters of the flying fleet if it is adopted as a part of the state police force on account of the ex- ceptional facilities offered there by the municipal field. Thers is aiso a well equipped landing field which is regularly used on the estate of the late Commo- dore B. C. Benedict at Greenwich, and there is a station for seaplanes at the submarine base at New London. Scatter- ed all over the state are places which have been used as landing fields for air- craft and could be made into well equipped flelds with little outlay of money. Aeroplane police are not new in Con- necticut, as they were used here last fall in connection with the Hartford aviation meet, when government planes policed the course of the Hartford-Springfield race, being used in this case to make sure that none of the fliers flew below the prescribed height. They are also in ac- tive use in New York city, where several planes, armed with machine guns, are on duty. charged with the capture of all fliers who endanger life by performing low over crowds. With fast nolice aeroplanes, how- PURSES - ide BRrREeD THEATRE Tod;y md Wednesduy ‘Foreve e a George Fitzmaurice pmductlm Based. om, the movel: “Peter Jbbetson” By Georqe Du Masricy A TALE OF YOUTH AND JOY.

The disastrous experience of 1821 taught the companies a lesson. Some of the biggest writers in the business had loss ratios last year of over 100 per cent In spite of numerous changes made and underwriting modifications instituted, the automobile losses mounted steadily last year.

In order to keep up appearances before the chauffeur and butler he has to appear to enter the machine, if only for a second until the butler closes the front door. The star jumps into the taxi while the butler disappears inside. In a second the star is out of the machine again, slams the door shut so that the driver can know he's inside and then watches the car drive on. “R. S. V.

A 1 Breed Theatre z 1 Everyone connected with the filming of George Fitzmaurice’s Paramount picture “Forever,” starring Eilsie Ferguson and Wallace Reid, strained toward an ex- ceptional achievement. The results will speak for themselves at .the Breed the« atre, where the picture will be the fea- ture for today and Wednesday. The sets of this picture were in many cas- es built solidly’ of brick and concrete, particular care being taken . with the Newgate jall scenes. In Peter Tbbetsen's cell, where Wallace Reid, as the central character, languishes through most .of his life, the scenic construction followed exactly pictures of cells in that old Brit- ish prison, simulating even the cobwebs which hung in the dusty - corners.
