noisy and red as to color = drove up
in front of the Congregational church

stopped by the side of the road near

got out; one was seen from nearby
house to go into the church sheds,
and very few minutes later two
men left the car and disappeared
up Elm street
/. Night Policeman r. e. Thomas
saw the car stop, from some dis
lance down Pleasant street, but as
it was not an unusual performance
he was not Immediately excited. A
bit later, however, he Investigated
and found the car without lights,
the spark plug gone and the brakes
unset. Some mystery, this, and a
big box ON the rear of the machine
added to the official bewilderment.
Deputy Sheriffs Thomas and
Loukes were called up, also Assis-
tant Night Policeman Waterman,
and the car was watched all night,
but beating of bushes and search
in the vicinity failed to locate the
travellers.
This morning the men were found
at the New Park. They gave their
names as Edward @. Lyon and
Frank Bartlett of Leominster, Mass ;,
and said they came here from Water
bury, leaving the car in the street as
no garage was open. They we're

matter was settled up and the car
was turned over to the men again.

cate in a measure the trouble which
causes them. Headache over the
eyes is ordinarily due to trouble with
the eyes. Headache confined to the
forehead means disturbance of the
digestive organs and constipation
Headache at the top of the head il
usually due to lack of iron in the
blood, anemia. Headache at the
back of the head may be due to eye
strain, nervous exhaustion, spinal in
ritation, or some trouble with the
internal organs.
The commonest forms of head.
ache are what are usually known al
