There is mistaken idea that
culture means to paint little, to
sing a little, to dance little, and
quote passages from late popular
books. AS matter of fact cul-
ture means nothing of the kind.
Culture means mastery over
self; politeness, charity, fairness,
good temper and good conduct.
Culture is not a thing to make a
display of; it is something to use
so modestly that people do not
discover all at once that YOU

CHASE OF FRENCH DRIVER LACROIX ENDS WITH ARREST IN NEW HAVEN
Says He Thought Effort to Stop Him Was
 Complimentary Demonstration.
Thought Broad Banded Barrcade of Stars and Stripes Was ''Streamer' and Speeded Through It-Is Re leased Bond to Re-enter Contest.

New Haven, March n-When Paul LaCroix, driving the French Renault car No. 2 in the New York to Boston automobile race, reached this city, he was arrested at the request of the Bridgeport police on the charge of reckless driving.
 LaCroix and his wife, who is accom- panying him in the race, were taken to the police station where he pleaded not guilty. LaCroix stated that when he was passing through the main street in Bridgeport he saw a great crowd of people ahead and noticed that col ored streamer was stretched across the road. Thinking that this was merely intended as a. complimentary demon stration, he drove over the streamer and continued on his way. It seems, however, that the police had been stop ping ry/contestant with view of ascertaining whether they knew any thing concerning the death of A w. Wallace of Bridgeport, who was found dead on the road outside that city this morning. Both LaCroix and his wife stated that they knew nothing of the death of MT. Wallace, and after considerable argument he was released under a bond of $50O for appearance Saturday
 morning, and allowed to continue his journey.
 The call to detain the offending ma chimes came from Dr. w. HI. Donald son of Fairfield As soon as Supt. Birmingham received the call he sent Capt. Arnold, Detective Cronan and the other officers at the station to the street to stop the car carrying the number 8. Supt. Birmingham followed a moment later with the big 30 foot American flag belonging to the depart ment. The flag was stretched across the street from curb to curb. In less than five minutes after the telephone were seen approaching from the west. The first car was number 2. The of ficerS on the curb and in the street signaIed the driver to stop. The car was going at the rate of at least 40 miles an hour. As it neared Court land street the car slowed down and approached the flag.
 The officers believed that the driver was about to obey orders and made no attempt to get aboard. LaCroix ap- stop. Within five feet of the flag he pulled the throttle wide open and bounded away like a shot from a gun. The flag caught in the hood of the machine and was Snatched from the hands of the officers. Before the of ficers' could gather their wits the ma chine was speeding down Fairfield avenue, dragging the flag through the. mud. In front of the Blue Ribbon Garage the flag dropped from the ma chine. It was picked up by the en- ployes of the garage and returned to the police. AStonishment mingled with indignation and chagrin only faintly expressed the feelings at head quarters after the car had disappeared. Sheriff Stagg was called up on the Stratford.

were letting it out at a great clip and that is what scared the horse I was surprised to think he had it in him. had my hands full in handling him and was glad to get him down and slowed up before we got into Bridge port where there were more teams"
 The coachman had no criticism to make of his employer for jumping, nor did he assert that things did not look dangerous, and that MT. Wallace should have kept his seat
 Dr. w. H. Donaldson saw the speed ing motor cars pass his home and knowing that the contest was only an endurance run was surprised to see the drivers racing. He said to a Far mer reporter, ''It was outrageous. The racing seemed to start at the Fairfield public library when they were running at between 50 and 60 miles an hour- They had the mufflerS off and were making a tremendous noise. The two leaders raced abreast, followed by the still abreast when they passed MT. Wallace. We can't seem to get any law to stop such things no matter how many people are killed.''
 There was probably no business man in Bridgeport better known in this city than the deceased where he and his father had conducted baking bus mess in State street for over a half century. Their steam cracker busi- ness was one of the first in the coun- try and both father and son amassed large fortunes. Aaron w. Wallace, ST., who died a few years ago, at a ripe old age, was a member of the city government for several years and with his son was interested for several years in the Bridgeport & Port Jeffer- son Steamboat Co.
 He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity being affiliated with all the branches in this city He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lillian Godfrey of Weston, Conn.,, be- fore her marriage. and two sister, who are Mrs. A. T. Hale of New London and Mrs. w. G. Lineburgh, of this city

 TUKEY TESTIFIES
Had Imbibed Less Than Usual When He COllided
 With Ahearn.
Plaintiff in Damage Suit Supported by p Witness es-Physician Had At tended Sheep Roast at Rivercliffe and Gone on to New Haven.

Ehe case of Timothy Ahearn of Stratford against Dr. Frank M. Tulxey of this city, for injuries sustained when Dr. Tukey's auto ran into his horse and wagon at the corner of Union and Connecticut Avenues last July, was continued yesterday afternoon and this morning. In all twenty-two witnesses appeared for the plaintiff, most of whom are residents of the vicinity where the accident occurred.
 All seemed to be of the opinion that the doctors auto was on the wrong side of the road. The evidence for the plaintiff was in at II this morning. Dr. Tukey himself was called to the stand.
 There was on exhibition a great many twisted and worsted parts of the automobile. pr. Tukey testified that in the afternoon in question, he had attended a sheep roast at Rivercliffe and had then returned to Bridgeport, about p. m.
 At 5:s0 he and a few other doctors went to New Haven, where they were to be the guests of friend. They stopped at the New Haven Country Club. but later decided to go to Savin Rock.
 Counsel for the plaintiff tried to bring out that because of the number of stops at such places, the liquid re- treatments obtained might have taken effect.
 Dr. Tukey shattered this idea by his stating that his imbibings were less than ordinary.
 Among the number who testified for the plaintiff this morning were Charles H. Norman, Joseph T. Barber, William B. Miller, Michael Murphy, Fannie Schwartz and Delie J. RiveS, wife of Franklin B. Rives who testified yester- day morning and threw so many hooks into the questionings of the counsel for the defense.
 The case is attracting an unusual amount of attention, there being
