to school every day This week
though suffering from pain, young
Gano is carried by four boys to a

In default of $2,OO0 bail he was locked up.
 "Patsiep Fusco, a local resort keeper told the police he gave $500 in cash and $20O check to Pigniulo' to escape arrest for con1plicity. in white slave cases. The secret service agents re- fused the check, Fusco offered, de- manding cash and compromising for $50. The local detectives laid a trap for Pigniulo and now say they have him dead to rights
 Pigniulo's reported statement that he had ito split three ways in New York. is interesting the department of justice.
 As soon as the police heard that strenuous efforts were being made to raise $2,000 security to bail out Pas quale P1gniulo, the secret service agent charged with blackmail they, this afternoon, increased the bail to $5,000. This makes 1t certain that Pigniulo will remain in the clutches of the police until his case is prop erly disposed of.

Poultry from Russia Causes Drop In
 New York Market

New York, Nov. 24-As the result of sudden invasion of the American market by Russian Fpoultrymen, com bined with Ian advance in the cost of poultry feed here, housewives have been enabled to cut living expenses in at least one respect by buying ducks and chickens in the local down town markets at from to 10 cents a pound cheaper than they were last year Half a dozen big shiploads of ducks have arrived here recently from Russia and have sold at the wholesale rate of IA cents a pound as against quotations of or cents more for the domestic bird.
 This reduction has had sympathe- tic influence on the chicken market which has also had a dropping tend ency because of the apparent disin- clination of poultry raisers to keep feeding their stock on corn at $1.80 a bag. Turkeys are also lower than last year, but possibly because of the near approach of Thanksgiving the decrease in their price is not so mark ed as that in other varieties of pou1- try.

Turner Societies
 Plan Centennial
Origin of Order by Father Friedrich Ludwig Jahn Starting of Harvard and /
 Yale Gymnasiums

Beginning next month, German Tur- ner societies all over the world will unite in celebrating the 100th anni- versary of the founding Of the gym nastic system which is now universally recognized by all nations. December will find more than 100000 Turner's paying tribute to Father Friedrich Ludwig Jahn. the originator of the system.
 Just 100 years ago on the Hasen- heide, at that time near Berlin, Ger many, Friedrich Ludwig Jahn opened a field for the practice of gymnastics, called the ''turnplatz". From that modest little field the spirit of physi- cal exercise has spread far and wide and is now a recognized part of the training of the young men and women of every nation. Physical training as it is encouraged by the Young Mems public schools and colleges, clubs and even the modern playgrounds, can be traced directly to Jahn and his field on the Hasenheide.
 Born in 177S, Jahn became intense ly interested in educational training in Berlin. When he was 28 years old Napoleon conquered the Prussians and it is said that Jahn worried so much about it that, his hair turned white over night However, the thought of physical training occurred. to him at this time, his motive being means of training the young men of Prussia for the war of liberation from the French. It was quickly taken up by the younger people and many gymnas tic clubs were in evidence until in 1919, when following an assassination, the Prussian government suppressed all gymnastic practices The ban was re- moved in 1842 and hundreds of clubs started anew and began to organize as the seed had been sown and the harvest was about to be reaped. Prac- tically every town and city in Ger many has it's "Turnverein'' today and it is estimated that there are nearly 1000 athletic and gymnastic societies and institutions whose ancestry may be traced back to Jahn, in other coun- tries.
 But, following the refusal of the Prussian government to allow gymnas- tics, there came a political uprising and many of the leaders had, to leave their native land. Among those were Carl Beck, Carl Pollen and Francis Lieber, who came to America and in

GLASS BEEHIVE FOR LIBRARY. Apiarist Suggests It. That Folk May

winsted. Nov. 24.-Book lovers of Great Harrington will be able to study bees if a suggestion of the Rev. John Dooly. a well-known apiarist, is adopted Mir. Dooly says something must be done for the bees or the fruit crop will suffer, as bee colonies are heinz depleted by disease known as foul brood.
 Mir Dooly wants the new Mason Library to have the upper story fitted with an observation beehive, so that all may see the bees at work. He would build the hive in the building. 50 the bees might have means of exit 70 the outer world, but incloSed in glass, so that persons may observe .1he working of the colony.

In the letter Governor Baldwin stated that he favored local option rather than State wide prohibition. Hotels contributed. largely to the pros perity of Connecticut, said Governor Baldwin, and guests accustomed to indulging in liquor would not patron ize places where liquor was not for sale.
 The Governor took issue with Rev Lamphear's description of these hotels as, saloons. He stated that the law amply distinguished between real ho- tels and saloons! eft
