Help Yourself and the Chautauqua.


Are you doing your share to make
this town Chautauqua town or are
you satisfied for it to become street
carnival town. There's a vast differ
ence between the two. To be known
IS good chsutauqua town is the best
recommendation which town can put
forward in its own behalf. To be
known as a good street carnival town
doesn't add anything to towns glory
Think about it. Think of it. The fell
low who buys a season ticket is the
fellow who is helping to make this
good chautauqua town. Owosso, July

Lurnine.eent IIIumination.


 There are. several substances that be- come 1uminescent after long exposure to the rays of the sun, although none of them emits a brilliant light. It is believed that this lumfnescence could be greatly increased if the problem were investigated with as much care az that given to the development of the 1ncandescent gas mantle. It has been suggested that if luminescent paint were spread on buildings exposed to brilliant sunshine they would give off stored sunlight during the night and thus preserve one element of the radiant energy of the sun. One au- thority remarks, ''The general use of such a paint would enable the more powerful methods of artificial t1lumi- nation to be limited to special locations and confne the use of existing systems to indoor service ahd to spots where little daylight penetrates.

MRS. ROGERS TRIAL
 WILL END TOMORROW

New York. April Presentation of the evidence in the trial of Mrs. Eda, Sniffen Rogers for the murder of one of her two children whom she poisoned probably will be ended today. If this is accomplished the case will be in the hands of the jury tornor- row Owing to the fact that Mrs. Rogers has never denied having ad- lnfnistered poison to her son John and to her daughter, Lorida, and that her attorneys have based her defense on a plea. of temporary Insanity. the prosecution presented it's evidence yes- tcrday in one day and the defense began putting on witnesses to show that Mrs. Rogers was at times ira tionaI Her attorneys have engaged Dv. Graeme M. Hammond, an alien ist, as a witness.
 One of the points remaining to be established is whether, as the defense contends, Mrs. Rogers took poison herself after giving it to her chtl= dren.

FELLOW PUPILS
 SAVE TWO BOYS
 FROM MERIDEN
Companions Charged With s Burglary, Children Ballot
 and Judge is Lenient.

As the result of the overwhelming vote taken by students at Maplewood avenue school yesterday afternoon Judge Frederic A. Bartlett in city court today placed two pupils of that school on probation for one yean They were charged with burglary. It was their second offense and the court was sinclined to send both to the re- form school at Meriden.
 Jimmy FSeraci, aged IS, of 3S Hill side avenue, and Ivan Wade, aged I15, of 130 Hillside avenue, were the pupils Walter Novack, aged 15: Ben jamin Bu1k1ey, aged IA, and Francis Crowley, aged IA, all of Hillside ave- nue, were others implicated in the burglary of the meat market of H. G. Jacoby at Hillside and Capitol. ave- nues Sunday. Their loot consisted of pies, cakes and candy.
 When the news went around the schoolyard at recess yesterday that Jimmy and Ivan were to be sent to the reform school the boys decided to dol something in their defense. They asked permission of one of the off, cials of the school to take a ballot on the proper disposition of the case of their schoolmates. They say that permission was refused and when school closed for the afternoon a crowd of almost 200 pupils gathered in the rear yard of the school and proceeded to ballot. -
 There were a. few dissenting voices A few believed that both lads should be sent to Meriden. Other chums of the two boys took the stump and gave reasons why their pals should be. freed The result on the first ballot was 154 to probation and 64 for com nnittment.
 The leader of the young politicians visited room 13 and asked Miss Fftz- patrick, school teacher, to visit city court today and tell the Judge that the school demanded the liberty of the two young burglars. Another delegation visited Miss Wilcox in room 15 and asked her to accompany Miss Fitzpatrick to city court. F'eraco is fn room 13 and Wade is in room 15.
 Miss Fitzpatrick was in city court today but she did not take the wit ness stand. It is said, however. that she made a strong plea for the pro- bation of both children before court. The result was that both boys as well as their companions were probated for one year.
 Great was the rejoicing about po- lice headquarters at noon when the pair of Map1ewood schoolboys were released. They were greeted at the entrance to the police station by a crowd of school urchins who shook hands with Wade and Feraco and with three cheers they were last seen going west in Fairfield avenue.
