'''kEEP THIS OUT OF. NEWSP AYERS"
 SAID MRS. JONES

{ How Mrs. s. W. c. Jones, leader in. the millionaire social colony at Greenwich, vainly tried to keep the news of her husbands arrest from the newspapers, was learned today when Deputy Sheriffs Thomas J. Cunning ham and Frank Olmstead returned to this city after serving a body writ on the Bridgeport & Danbury trolley line director.
 This is an outrage" declared Mrs. Jones when she saw her husband led back to his home after he had been captured at the Greenwich railroad station. Mot a word of this must get into the newspapers she command ed, as she surveyed the sheriffs with a stern eye. 'I haven't anything to do with the newspapers" replied De-
 putty Cunningham. Mrs. Jones insist
 ed that the story should not be given to the newspapers until finally Depu- ty Cunningham closed the converse tion by ren1arking. Madam, can't discuss this matter any further"
 Jones, after being in custody all day Saturday, was released at night or

 of Norwich by pledging debenture

 alleged to have mtsrepresented.

 OHIO OPPOSED TO PROHIBITION LAW
Claim That Bone-Dry Law Is Unpatriotic and Uncon-
 StitutiOnal.

 Whereas, Our country. having adopted a wartime policy of conserv- ing all resources and providing for the revenues necessary to meet the enormous financial obligations incl dent to a state of war. needs not only the loyal support of a patriotic and united people. but demands the viS1- lant preservation of all sources Of rev .enue; and,
 Whereas, In spite of the crisis con- fronting our nation and state. and not withstanding the fact that the ailtse nations, during the entiSe war period have not found 1t necessary to hamper or destroy the sources of dependable revenue, or curtail the personal hber ties of soldier, sailor or civilian. whils we are confronted with 'bone-dry
 ln ohibition, which the sponsors fol
 prohibition are endeavoring to fois upon the people of Ohio, and.
 'fWhereas, The success of this socfa and industrial menace can not bu foster strife and unrest among th' people, destroy @ means of livelihood of thousands of our fellow workers eliminate dependable sources of enor nous revenues of state and nattol and increase the burden of taxation upon the workers: therefore be 1t Resolved. That the Ohio Stat Federation of Labor. in keeping witt the patriotic and economic demand 1 of the time, urge upon its member and the voters of Ohio to resent thi 1 attempt to hamper the nation an
 the state by voting against prohfbi | ton and thus eliminate a menac which, if permitted to continue, vii mean the complete undermining c | our cherished American institutions. I-Cincinuati Commercial Tribune.

In medium size the coat re- quires 2H yards 54-inch serge, with 35s yards S6-inch silk or satin for the lining. It will be necessary to make a seam at the center-back of the lining.
 Placing the pattern on the mate rial in accordance with the cutting guide will save material and avoid mistakes. The home dressmaker should know the guide thoroughly before cutting the first piece. After folding in half and laying smoothly on the cutting table, or any other smooth surface, place the back of the coat on the lengthwise fold of mate rial. To the upper left of the bac1 lay the pocket, with large ssO' pe.- forations on a 1engthwise thread of material. The front is laid to the right ,ot the pocket, with the straight edge along the selvage and the large t"'O' perforations on 1engthwise thread of material.

Stratford. Get. 23.-From now on the selectmen of Stratford will pay no attention to any letters received public improvements unless they are properly signed. This action was taken at a recent meeting of the town fathers following the receiving of many letters which have been signed Taxpayer Citizen" Friend etc.
 The selectmen wish to emphasize the fact that if the person or organ ization that is looking for work to be done takes the trouble to write a three or four page letter informing them why the improvement should be done then 1t Is also necessary to ap- pend the name at the end, of the epistle in order that the selectmen may visit the locality and see what work is needed.

 Only last week First Selectn1an Lally received a letter from a tax payer on Freeman avenue asking that sidewalks be laid. It was an urgent appeal and contained some very strong arguments why sidewalks should be laid. However, 1t was not properly signed and as a result it has been thrown in the waste basket.
