Burnes Hears Wide Variety of Motor
 Law Attractions

Hartford, Aug. 30.-Secretary of the State Charles D. Burnes heard a grea, variety of automobile cases at the Capitol yesterday afternoon, represent ing nearly every phase of motor law violations.
 'Not satisfied with running into me the thing over again." said Dr. o. F. O'Leary, testifying against Fred An drews of Norwalk. who was arrested August for reckless driving, "and l never felt so much like knocking a man down in all my life" Norman F. Bsdient of Norwalk said he had known MT. Andrews for 10 years and that in all that time he had never seen him take more than one drink in a day. "I shall reserve my decision," said the secretary, 'until affidavits are submit ted to me from several people of good standing in Norwalk showing that MT. Andrews does not drink"
 Earl B. Barton of Norwalk prom ised to drive carefully in the future, and was allowed to keep his license.
 Antonio Christisno of Greenwich admitted running across the side walk after c0lIiding with another car on Elm street, and his license was taken away. for 30 days.
 Joseph Marshall or Ansonia was succeeding fairly well in his attempt to impress the secretary that he was not drinking in Bridgeport on the night of August 8, and that he'd taken no part in throwing empty beer bottles into the street, until he spoke of standing Nfn hot doing there;" MT. Burnes asked. "I had just been inside to buy cigar" replied Marshall, who was evidently taken little off his guard, "but I didn't drink thing" "A man so temperate as you should patronize ci- gar stores instead of saloons" sug- gested the secretary, at the same tune informing MT. Marshall that he could leave his license at the Capitol indefi- nitely.
 Mike Dolowitz of Bridgeport was given another chance to improve the method of his driving.
 Marcus Zele of Torrington did not lose his license because of using deal- CTS markers for commercial purposes, but he was severely warned that repetition of the ohense would surely get him into trouble. Crannis & Dem egan of Litchf1eld did not appear to explain why they had used the wrong numbers on their cars, and their case was continued. c. D. Clark of Tor rington admitted using dealers num- bers for commercial purposes, but on the strength a promise not to do 1t again he was allowed to keep his li- cense. Joseph Levando, also of Tor rington, pleaded guilty to the charge of reckless driving and lost his license 10 days.

Only one of these birds could live at

drew to n close the bird built for itself
funeral pile OF wood and aromatic
spices, with its wings famed the pile

duced, out Of which another phoenix
was formed, having all the vigor Of
youth.
The first care of the new phoenix
was to solemnlze its parents obse'
