JAIL SENTENCE FOR YOUTHS WHO
 STOLE MACHINE
Two Young Men Will Spend Next Six Months in Con-
 finement.

In the disposition of the cases of six youths arraigned today on the charge of taking automobiles without the owners consent, Judge F. A. Bartlett in the city court sentenced two of the young men to six months in jail and imposed like sentences upon the other four, but suspended execution. The two who were committed to jail have been in court several times within the last few years for theft. They were recently released from Cheshire re- formatory.
 James Robbi of 921 Broad street and Royal Starr of Fairview beach, Milford, were the pair found guilty and sentenced to spend the next half year in jail. Saturday night they took a runabout automobile belonging to George Fox of Stamford from in front of the Alfred Fox Piano Go. in Fair field avenue, and drove to Stamford where they were arrested.
 The peculiar feature of their arrest was the fact that the automobile thieves were caught in FoX's home town. He is the son of Alfred Fox, who owns a larger car. Saturday night he borrowed his fathers car to take a party to his home in Stamford and left his own runabOut for the father to use. When the latter closed the store and was ready to go home, he noticed that the car was not in front of the store. He communicated | with the police but did not know the | license number of the sons car. Telephoning to his son in Stam- ford he informed him of the theft and obtained the license number. The son left his house to go to police | headquarters in Stamford and on his | way saw his own car approaching. He jumped onto the machine on one
 side as a Stamford policeman who
 was on the watch for the car hopped
 on the running board.
 John Orton of 227 Mountain Grove
 street, Paul Sipperley of 218 Norman
 street, Newton Reid of 297 Cottage l street. and Raymond Conklin of 1907
 State street, comprised the quartet upon whom the suspended sentences were imposed. They were defended by Attorney Abe s. Geduldig.
 | They were charged with taking the automobile belonging to Julius Perry
 of 12S1 Howard avenue. All of the | young men had been to Pleasure beach, Saturday night and while Per-
 ry was in the dance hall, the others left him and drove the machine tc l Danbury When Perry missed the
 car, he did not think that his com
 panions had taken it and notified
 the police of the loss.
 Orton was found standing beside the machine in Danbury where tire
 had blown out. The others return
 ed here and gave themselves up tt
 the police. Perry did not wish tc prosecute.

MATERIALS GOING
 UP, SODA WATER
 PRICES INCREASE

The soda water bottlers of the city of Bridgeport held a very enthusiastic meeting last evening at the plant of the Greater New York Bottling Co.
 It was voted unanimously to adopt uniform schedule of prices, including a deposit for return of bottles, it be- ing shown that only one-third of all bottles delivered are returned.
 Bottles are carried out of town on automobiles, parties, boats, etc., and thrown away. The bottlers of this city think they are justified in doing this on account of the enormous increase in price of all materials used in the manufacture of soda water and money expended for great loss of bottles.
 All recent reports show that the manufacturer of soda water is grad ually running behind, during time of prosperity for all other business. For these reasons the bottlers of this city have formed an association and agreed to meet once a month to talk over the hest interests of their business.

NATAL DAY OF
 TWO RULERS

The natal day of two rulers Queen Wilhelmina of Holland and Emperor Yoshihito of Japan-will celebrated today by their loyal sub jects.l The Mikado was born on Aug. 31, 1879, and is thirty-seven today, while the Dutch Queen is just a year younger. Both rulers have had heavy responsibilities thrust upon them by the war, Japan having &C., lively assisted in driving the Teu- tons from the Orient, while Holland has been put to tremendous expense in protecting its frontiers and in car- ing for the refugees from stricken Belgium. Appearances now indicate that Yoshihito and his principal ad- visers have effected an agreement with the late enemy, Russia, which is now being supplied with vast quan- titles of arms, ammunition and other supplies by Nippon.
 Queen Wilhelmina is the sovereign of nearly forty-four millions of peo- pie, of whom six and a half millions are crowded within the 12,646 square miles of The Netherlands More than thirty millions of her subjects are in Java and Madura, and the remainder in Dutch Borneo, Celebos and other islands of the East and West Indies. The Queen has requested that no money be spent on the celebration of her birthday asking that those who are financially able to do so observe the day by contributing to the funds for the war sufferers. Holland is now supporting nearly half a million Bel. gians.
 Since the outbreak of the war HoI- l land has swarmed with the agents of the warning nations, who have been striving to induce the Dutch to aban- | don their neutrality in favor of one | side or the other. ;yne Queen has had many powerful influences brought
 to bear upon her. It is no secret
 that her husband, Prince Henry of
 Mecklenburg-S g-Schwerin, has sought
 to induce the Queen to favor Ger
 many, and the palace walls, if they
 could speak, could probably tattle
 many interesting tales of discussions
 between the royal pair So far as
 can be known, Queen Wilhelmina has
 no intention of plunging her country
 into war if it can possibly be avoided
 In the meantime, the Dutch army is
 ready, and it is costing Holland 6 pretty penny for its support

TIMELY HINTS.

Now is the time to clean your old
iron ware, as kettles, spiders, griddles,
etc. When you have hot ire in the
furnace put them right in the blaze;
it NAV take an nour. 1t won't hurt
them, and they'll come out like new.
Do not risk sheet iron, porcelain or
granite lined or any thing with at
tached handles.
Chimney fires are usually caused by
starting fire with too much light
stuff, like paper, and not closing the
draft. If potato and apple parings
are burned in the stove or furnace
the SCOT would not accumulate. In
case of a fire, few peelings thrown
on the fire will do as well as salt and
is cheaper. This is good way also
to reduce the heat of the oven. The
birds will relish few too If not
frozen.
To prevent slipping on the ice, sew
a piece of inch wide elastic into a
ring that will slip over the snoe, and
stay over the ball of the foot. Rub
ber heels are good too, and save the
shoes.
Baked apples. Try this way: Pare,
cut in halves and core, roll in sugar
and stand them on edge, packed close
like sardines, A deep granite dish
is best. 1t should be creased and q
little water put in. When done more
sugar may be added.
