TOTS, PLAYING IN STREET, STRANGLE LITTLE PLAYMATE
Sammy Alsop's Mother Wants the Police to Curb
 Mischievous Youngsters.


 Boys pranks perpetrated after the closing of Shelton school yesterday af- ternoon nearly ended in the hanging of. Sammy Alsop, aged eight, of 55 Tom Thumb street. A game of s.Christen the Bear, was turned into a more serious prank of playing Judge Lynch,'' and three other pupils narrowly averted hanging Sammy with a clothesline.
 The -=-cident occurred in an open lot adjoining the school. Sammy was the bear and he objected to the rough usuage followed in .tc'- ristening'' him. He resisted the efforts of his play mates and Joe GaAis, aged 10.- acting the part of Judge Lynch,'' sentenced SaInnv to be. hanged.
 According to the report made to the police by Mrs. Jessie Alsop, mother of the near-victim of the hangman's moose, Jakey- Shapiro. Isadore and Lewis Rudderman, dragged her son Sammy about the streets, with a cIothesIIne tied about his neck.
 It is further alleged that young Gal lis, the Terrible Judge" pelted young AIsop with stones after he had lain in Q semi-conscious state in the road way. The child was taken to his hone by neigihbors and the mother of young Alsop went almost into mysteries upon seeing how her child had been abused. Sammy was resuscitated and put to bed.
 He was unable to attend school to- day but is not in any serious condi- tion. The police are looking for the maltreaters.

DARK CELLS AND !. CUT IN RATI0NS CURE PRISONERS
Animal Impersonators at County Jail Quit Obstre-
 porous Tactics.

The plaintive cry of the cheesehound calling to his mate has been known to make quite a hit In vaudeville put the idea of 20 prisoners at the county fail making the nights h1deouS py 1n- itating animal calls did not enthuSe County Sheriff Pease. He ordered the entire troupe of animal impersonators for the first time in the week, the cor riders of the jail did not resound With a variety of jungle cries.
 During the past month a number or boys about 20 years old have been setn to jail to await trial in the crl1n- inal superior court. Three of the mum Der were alleged pickpockets from New York The entire gang had cells in the same section and they evidently conspired last Monday to make sleep ing a lost art.
 As soon as darkness fell the Jal1ers would hear the hoot of an owl, the barking of a dog or the yowl of a cat as it fled from a back fence after stopping a few bottles. Immediate 1n- vestigation was made but those sus- pected always protested they had been sleeping and knew nothing of the strange sounds.
 The culprits were caught last night, however, and were shown to dark cells where the table d'hote menu consisted of a. chunk of bread and. a cup of wa ter. This morning they all promised to stop the vaudeville specia1ties if they could only have their old cells and once more get their daily rations of beans and pea. soup. Tonight Dep uty Jailer Dennis ONeil doesn't ex- pect to hear anything as he makes his rounds but the ticking of his Inger- soil watch.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG LAYING CONTEST

The best pen in the laying contest at Storrs is exactly two weeks ahead of the best pen a year ago. On Thurs day of last week two pens of White Wyandottes owned by Tom Barron of England and Obed G. Knights, Bridgeton, R. l., were tied with 999 eggs each. Knights hen No. 193 laid the first egg on Friday morning, thereby breaking the tie and making his pen the first to have laid a thou sand eggs. From the scores below, however, it will be noted that at the end of the week Barron's birds were again in the lead by a margin of two eggs. Last year a pen of Wyandottes reached this point on April 18th or just two weeks later than in the pres ent competition.
 Knights pen mentioned above were first for the week with yield of 59 eggs. Four pens of Rhode Island Reds took second and third places. H. P. Deming's pen from Winsted, tied with Laurel Hill Farm, Bridgeton, R. r.. with 56 eggs each and Spring dale Poultry Farm, Durham. tied
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1916-04-20

with H. w. Col1ingwood from Wood cliffe Lake, N. J., with 5 eggs each. The total yield for all the pens in the twenty-fourth week amounted to 4, ,391 which is nearly 600 eggs better than for the corresponding week last year.
 All the hens in the contest have been housed Continuously since last November but will probably be given the run of the yards within the next week or 10 days. These yards, how ever, provide only a limited amount of green food and it is important that hens have all they want, both summer and winter. Now is the time there fore to plant Swiss chard and Essex rape unless one's hens have an abund- ance of range. It Is likewise the sea- son to plan for next winters supply of green food. One should allow approx imately one ton of mangel beets for each one hundred hens that he pro poses to carry through next winter.
 The three best pens in each of the principal breeds are as follows:

Merritt Would Save
 Confiscated Liquors
 For LakevieW Inmates

Liquor Prosecutor A. J. Merritt has announced his intention of endeavor- ing to have a resolution put through the common council calling for the creating of a city ordinance providing for disposition of confscated liquor.
 Prosecutor Merritt says he is in fla vor of the eonffacated liquors being sent to Lakeview home for the in mates. He believes that it can be ad- ninstered properly by Dr. J. J. Mac Donald, superintendent of the home. He would further advise that some of it be given to physicians of the emer- gency hospital to be administered to patients on ambulance calls.
 Alderman Malcolm MacFayden, pres ident of the common council, O long time ago spoke in favor of donating the beer to the public works depart ment to be used as a beverage for. men working on the dusty highways dur ing the summer.

The European type of construc- ton as understood in Europe means not only a better and more convenient placing of the engine and other working parts, but the use of materials calculated to hold up in unexpected strains.
 The danger the business man is liable to is that he may not look deep enough into what is offered him, and may accept the claims for the facts.
 It is significant fact about America that there is never any difficulty in getting the facts

A man capable of seeing all around his problem and taking account, not only of everything that is likely to happen, but also the unexpected, the emergency.
 A business man buying a motor truck today can get more for his money than at any previous time
 But there are certain things he must keep in mind.
 Competent engineering is no more common today than it was ten years ago. > As in every other era of pro gress, certain catch words will become common.

A N ew BuSineS SS America Is Arising

Members of EuropeanChambe of Commerce and Boards of Trade who come to America to study business conditions say that they cannot keep up with the progress in this country unless they make the trip every three years.
 Let any man recall the phases of his business that concerned him most even one year ago-and then consider how much further he has progressed today.
 The man who builds a success fi11 motor truck has got to have these changes in mind.
 He can no longer be a man content to live with his tools.
 And this means that the. motor truck engineer has got to go deeper into greater variety of subjects than any other man in the engi- neering profession, not excepting the designer of a battleship.

when business men care enough about them to discuss them.
 One thing is certain. The way business is progressing in this country, congestion in traffic is going to be more and more the rule, and difficulty in hauling goods increasingly acute.
 In the face of these difficulties it is demanded of the engineer that he achieve economy, safety and cheap transportation.
 O
 | The truck user who wants to know just what it means to solve these problems must see the Riker Truck the best built truck nAmerica, designed by Al. Riker and made by the Locomobi1e Company.
 Here is the one American truck in which all the problems of economy, safety and cheap trans portation are solved in the light of conditions as they are today.
 And it is. especially interesting to the business man who is de- manding more from his trucks every day that MT. Riker's engi- neering plans and Judgment in the choice of materials have been confirmed by the performance of the. Riker Truck in u7sparine war service.
 Now, what do economy, safety and cheap transportation mean
 Plainly, to get the load from point to point at less cost than ever-and be sure it is going 10 arrive.
 MT. Riker's engineering skill, with the quality for whic h the Locomobi1e Company has long been famous, makes the Riker Truck ur7equaLled by any other in the field today.

For instance, Riker Trucks rated at three and four tons are showing every day nearly the same ton mile per hour capacity as the average five and six-ton trucks.
 And the Riker Truck is lighter, more mobile, costs less for tires, for maintenance, for depreciation. There is nothing like seeing the Truck and having it explained et first hand
