 ON CLAM SHELL ROW
Hroken Windows in Sexton's Stone Yard Bring Parties Into Court
 For . Lecture.

Stone throwing boys were the cause -6 disturbances at Sexton's stone yard in Stratford avenue. the other day, which brought three parties into court yesterday on charges of assault and abusfve. language. Boys living in whaf is known as "Clam Shell Row" have been breaking windows in the monumental works operated by James Sexton, opposite St. Michael's ceme- tery. MT. Sexton in attempting to locate the boys invaded the apart merts of MT and Mrs. William Myers, who had no interest in the affair. Hot words followed, and Mrs. Myers swore out . warrant for MT. Sexton. MT. Sexton retaliated with a warrant for MT. Myers. All the parties were in court except the boys who caused the mischief. Judge Peck gave the as- sembled warriors a sermon on broth erly love and the value of peace in a well regulated community. The most interesting and welcome part of his discourse was the announcement that he would nolle all the cases if the par- ties would go home and live in peace.

ed settlement of Jews in the strict sense, has aided greatly in breaking down racial traditions and customs hastening Americanization.
 It is characteristic that all seem eag- CT to give their children the best ed- ucation possible. and one of the most common complaints is the lack of ad- equate school facilities. The public schools near Ellington are as good as the average and have satisfied rural Connecticut in years. But they do not sa atisfy the Hebrew farmer. Some take their children into Rockville ev- cry morning; others contemplate sending their sons and daughters to the Hartford high school. The in struction in the direct schools is not very satisfactory, and, of course, does not extend beyond the eighth grade. Some Americans laugh at the educa- tional pretensions of the Hebrews, but there is no prejudice manifested against the children in school, nearly every one Of whom seems to give a good account of himself. There are practically no illiterates among those interviewed, and some are very well educated
 Morally they stand in good report among the members of the community No crimes have been committed and few civil suits have arisen. Tn fine, most of them are honest, industrious, law-abiding people, who intend to be- come citizens and permanent residents of the town. They wish to become Americans, to educate their children in American ways for American posi- tions of profit and honor. They revere the old traditions, but they desire to step out of the foreign class as soon as possible.
 Opportunity to attain these things is afforded in Ellington in greater degree than in many places. Here are found a fertile soil good marketing facili- ties, large possibilities for the educat- ed practical farmer. There is no real segregation by race.

CARELESS DRIVING
 OF TRUCKS
Heavy Strain Upon Tires and Also Upon the
 Engines

Gazing out of his office window in New York the other day at the scores of motor trucks whirling around Co., lumbus Circle, F. F. Phillips, manager of the solid tire department of the United States Tire Go. pointed out sev- eral practical illustrations of careless driving which shorten tire life and add unnecessarily, to the expense of mo- tor truck operation. Heavily loaded trucks were spinning in every direc- tion, many maintaining as great speed as any of the pleasure cars, and their drivers apparently completely oblivi- ous to the fact that they were deliv- ering merchandise and not ''joy-rid- ing" Look at that fellow there" ," said MT. Phillips, pointing out the driver of large five ton truck which looked to be carrying load far in excess of what it was designed to transport. "Did you notice the way he threw on. the brakes? He was rum ming at least twelve miles an hour and must have known that the officer in charge of traffic was going to signal him to stop. But instead of slow ing down as he approached the point of intersection he kept on going un- til the distance was so short that he had to stop the truck with a. sudden and violent jerk to keep from breaking through the line.
 When this happens the strain on tires is tremendous, and if it hap pens often, the tires on that truck will not give within several thousand miles of the service they would rem der under careful handling.
 "Now, watch that big red truck go round the corner. Observe whether the driver slows down as he knows he should do.'' The driver did not slow down but whirled the heavily loaded truck around the corner, almost on two wheels and proceeded on his mer. ry way. Another driver rattled across street car tracks without checking his speed. and the truck, although carry ing heavy load. bounced several in- xn.Y .-cm the pavement and settled wlrn a rnud.
 "You could sit here all day and point out specific reasons why truck tires, in many instances, do not give the mileage service that is put into them,' continued MT. Phillips. T don't care how good a tire manufac- turers turn out, it will not yield big mileage returns if subjected to the many abuses of reckless driving. Which fact emphasizes the importance of placing at the wheel men who will respect the value of the property un- der their charge.
 q think any big truck operator can show a great saving in tire expense each year by maintaining a careful system of inspection through which his drivers may be kept under obser- vation at points along the routes to be followed. By checking up each in- dividual driver in a quiet way at times when he figures he is out of sight of "the boss" the careless ones could be soon weeded out"
