 It is known that on Sunday week e number of automobiles were stopped while passing through town. by the State police, who came on for the pur- pose of rounding up reckless drivers. As the day happened to be stormy one. very few, if any, autoistS came along who were strangers, and funny as ft may seem, all of those who halted at the request of the police were well known townspeople or gentlemen from Bridgeport. Now it is not the purpose of the law to catch ones neighbors in a. trap when we are commanded to sultation with the legal authorities, 1t was decided that the speeders could not be held as they were well within the law, there being no speed limit in this State. A man drives recklessly only when he endangers other people who may be on the road As the road was clear, all the good people being in church, it fwas difficult to see how the gentlemen who were caught in the trap could be held.

 Mrs. Mabel Osgood Wright has been writing for the children of this town, and perhaps others, a leaflet on the spring migration o6 birds. She says they remember the place where they were raised, and love to come back to it Many birds find their old homes and meeting places on the grounds which surround the Wright summer residence on UnQuowa road. Mrs. Wright says one may often hear the bugle call of the male Baltimore orfole a week before the female arrives and when she does come she is Scolding. The male birds come dn advance to look over the ground, the trees, and see that everything is ready for house keeping. Some of these birds come from Brazil, and some from Central America. but they say never a word about the progress of the Panama Canal. The dull colored birds are the first to arrive, and then the Easter bonnet birds, like the tanager, the oriole, the chat and brilliant warblers bring up the rear of the procession until the trees are in foliage so they can hide from hawks and other ene- mics.
