you may smoke more often

The milder tobaccos in
this Turkish blend are SO
well balanced with the
richer, fullcr-havored leaves
as to entirely offset all un-
due "heaviness'' the cause
of ovcr-richness in so many
other cigarettes.
And this very blending
which makes Fatimas so COM

sensible) is also just what
imparts that unusually good

RECKLESS AUTOIST
IS ASSESSED $25
David BerkoWitz Heavily Fined
AS Result Of Collision

David Berkowitz, who figured in an
automobile accident with Albert Sher-
man, of 165 Hartford avenue, at the
corner of Elm and Seymour streets,
last Thursday, was fined $25 and
costs by Judge James T. Meskill in
police court this morning on a charge
of reckless driving. The accused was
defended by Lawyer M. D. Sake, and
Prosecutor G.. w. Klett conducted the
states case.
Mr.. Sherman placed the entire
blame for the accident on Berkowitz
and, according to his testimony, he
was driving north on Elm street about
IL O'clock noon at about five miles an
hour. AS he neared the corner of
Elm street he claims to have seen
Berkowitz speeding toward him,
whereupon he stopped his car. Sher-
man claimed that although he
stopped his machine before it crossed
on to the intersection of Seymour
street, Berkowitz, who had been driv-
ing on the left side of the road,
turned the corner sharply to the left
and crashed into him. Policeman
William Hayes likewise testified that
if Berkowitz had been on the right
side Of the road the accident would
@A0*OA AAe%FC AAe1pPOAiOu, e~HNe OAASOiAAe1AA
Daniel Cosgrove testified that Bergo-
WITT collided with Sherman while the
latter was at a standstill, south of
Seymour. street.
Berkowitz denied the allegations
and insisted that he was on the right
side of the road. He also claimed that
Sherman was driving about 80 miles
an hour and that it was for fear Of
a more serious accident that he turned
sharply to the left.
Joseph Zisk, charged with not pay
ing his personal tax, gave the court
a lengthy harangue as to why he
should not pay, but his arguments fell
on unsympathetic ears. He was fined
50 and costs, making his personal tax
bill for 1916 $7.S5 instead of 81.
Another case scheduled for trial
was that of Joseph Young, charged
with drunkenness and breach of the
peace. Young was not sufficiently
sober to appear in court this morning
and his case was continued until to-
morrow.
There was one other autom obile
case on today's docket Carl Olson, IF
West Hartford, being charged with
reckless driving on October 7. His
case was continued until November 8
in order that he may secure the serv-
ices of his family lawyer, who is at
present out of town.

PRESIDENT has QUIET DAY:
COILS AND GREETs RULERS

President Wilson and of1cialdom gen.
orally spent New Year quietly. There
were no public functions and the holiday
was given over almost entirely to home
celebrations. The President ushered in
the day with spirited game OF golf
with DR.. Cary Grayson, his physician.
He still walked with a slight limp as
result of wrenching his ankle satur-
day. but apparently did not suffer much
discomfort
New Year greetings were exchanged
with foreign rulers. the President receiv-
ing and replying to messages from King
George, Emperor William. King Victor
Emmanuel, King Gustav and the Presi-
dents of numerous South and Central
American republics. The President also
dispatched cablegrams congratulsting the
King Of Siam on his birthday and TO the
President Of Haiti congratulating him
upon the anniversary OF Haitf's Inde-
pendence. The Presidents only formal
engagement was to receive Prince Mahi-
del, brother Of the King OF Siam, who
was presented by the Sismese minister.
Aside from these formalities, the Presi-
dents day was uneventful. He had lunch
con with members OF his immediate fam
fly and the White House holiday guests,
and quiet family dinner last night.
Members of the diplomatic corps. cabi-
net officers and other prominent person.
ages passed the day in equally simple
fashion. Among the interesting events
were receptions by Secretary and Mrs
Baker, Secretary and Mrs Daniels and
Speaker and Mrs. Champ Clark.
