YOUTHS ADMIT THEFT
One Felt As If He Visited Every Sa-
loon in Town the Morning After
Both Are Minors.

In police court this morning Gus
tav Holbrook and Daniel r. Hayes,
youths about II years of age, plead
ed guilty to a charge of theft OF
WhiSkey from the New York, New
Haven and Hartford Railroad Co.
Both were employed as clerks in the
freight depot office. Holbrook laid
the blame for his act on John Barley
corn. Judge kirkham was curious to
know where minors were served with
liquor and he questioned Holbrook,
who said he got his first drink in
saloon on West Main street. Whether
it was on account of the way he felt
the next morning or II he went out
after the first drink, at any rate Hot
brook said he did not know where he
went next, but he thought he must
have visited every saloon in town.
With his companion he went to the
freight depot about 8 O'Clock Satuf-
day morning as they were in no con-
dition to so home. They opened
case of liquor and took out a quart,
but did not open the bottle. The
Waterman came around and they told
him what they did. They wanted
him to replace the bottle, but he
would not. Hayes said he must have

News has been received from the
Aviation Training schools at Kelly
Field in San Antonio, Texas to the
effect that Daniel J. Mcnamara Of
New Britain has been assigned to the
249th Areo Squadron as first sergeant
Of that organization. Mcnamara en-
listed almost a year ago and has
been in, training at Camp Devens,
Mass. Recently he applied for a
transfer to the aviation section, signal
corps, believing that the work would
be more interesting than the infan-
try. His transfer was approved and
he was sent to the aviation training
schools at Kelly Field, Texas, for
training there. He was tested as an
engine mechanic and made such a
good showing that he was assigned
to the enlisted mechanics school for
further instruction. He attended this
school for five weeks and completed
the course with the title of expert
engine mechanic. Two days later he
Squadron with the grade of first ser
gcant.
Mcnamara has made many friends
on the flying field and was a popular
favorite with the boys of the me-
chanics' school. The members of the
240th squadron consider themselves
unusually fortunate in getting
Mack for their first sergeant. He
is we'll known here in New Britain
and before his voluntary enlistment
was connected in various ways with
the motor business.

THE KNITTING PAYS

Some people have been inclined to
sheer at the fever Of knitting with
which our patriotic women have Leen
seized. Theoretically il might seem
more economical to have all this work
done i'm factories on labor saving ma
chimes.
But practically. the following com.
Dutation points in an opposite direc-
ton. One woman says she has knit.
ted Il sweaters. Tho only cash OK.
pcnse about II was SIS for material,
Si.S3 per sweater
Now, one of those sweaters would
be az comfortable to wear as one for
which you would pay So to So in a
store. It might not be knitted quite
as evenly. But probably it would have
better material. There is tempta.
ton to adulIoratc in a factory made
article.
or course when you buy a sweater
at store. YOU have to pay retail
prices, while the government could
buy at wholesale. But when you con
slider that the factories are driven
with war work. the government
would not get low price. II is diff
ficult to believe that these sweaters
could BE- bought for less than SO to -
apiece, and they might cost moro.
Hence Il looks as II voluntary labor
was by far the cheapest way to pro.
vide the men with tho knit I'd goods
that will add enormously 10 their com
fort in cold weather And It helps
pay for the war as we 30 along. If

to our war debt, and We would be pay.

BUSINESS DISHONESTY

The manager of a public service
conversation. was telling how he had
to influence a certain city council to
get necessary franchises. He found
it absolutely necessary to buy the
more purchasable members. Other
wise, he said the corporation would
be ruined
1t could not get any kind of deal
from that council unless it paid for il.
He felt that his first duty was to the
stockholders of the corporation. So
he protected them, at the expense OF
the moral law, greatly as he regret
ted to have to use such means.
Was he justified?
Similarly, the head of a large con
rracting firm said he was constantly
in receipt of handsome gifts from the
supply houses, who wanted him to
favor their goods in his contracts with
cities and other corporations. The
way would have been easy for him to
amass millions. But he always re-
turned these gifts. At last accounts
he was prospecting highly. Perhaps
dishonesty is not rs necessary in the
business world as the first man quot
ed seemed TO think.
Business men may seem TO win a
point temporarily by yielding to low
standards. But they are sowing the
wind and will reap the whirlwind la
ter. One of the principal causes of
labor unrest is the belief shared by so
many workingmen, that capitalists are
getting rich by these dishonest
means. If there is a lot OF graft go
ing around, they want their share and
they are not always scrupulous in
ME way they get it.
Some men think they are Justified
in doing anything that seems neCes-
sary for business success. That IS the
same spirit that animates the rulers
of Germany, who will break all agree
mcnts provided they see an advantage
to be gained. II is a dangerous game
to play, for both men and nations. If
we wish to reconcile capital and labor
and unity our industrial life, we must
all lay our cards down on the table
and play the game square.

THIS WAR OF SCIENCE,
THE WIRELESS GAME

Early in the war some little British
monitors, firing from out of sight over
4 jungle, hit the great German cruiser
Konisburg, on the seventh shot. They
were directed by wireless, and the
speedy destruction of that great ship
by these little foes showed what
wireless can do.
Unfortunately wireless is not only
a great help in our battle operations,
but il is the easy weapon for our foes
to use in this country. Some of the
leaks to the enemy may go from little
wireless plants on the roofs of houses
in the seacoast cities. II would not
seem difficult for a force of subma-
rincs to lie along our coast and keep
up this communication. They could
keep concealed daytimes, make no
effort to modest our ships and devote
/ themselves to getting and rclaying
news. 1t Is well known that a good
many wireless plants have been
! found in secret operation.
Also how do the enemy spies To-
Gated all over the country work theiI
highly systcmatized plan? DO they
/ always communicate by mail. tele
graph, telephone, with many chances
of detection? Wireless would seen
safer. a plant can be put up any
where on the roof of a lonely farm
house. II can convey the news OF
movements of food and munitior
trains. In some way the plottcrg
seem to know when there are lot o
cars of grain or potatoes on som,
lonely side track that could easily bt
burned.
II was fortunate that when the wal
broke out our country had more thar
100000 wireless amateurs. That pro
vides a great force to operate oul
signal services in France. But some
of these boys are from families o
enemy symparhizers at home an,
they are a peril.
This is a danger to be watched al
over the country. The unauthorized
operation of wireless plant, even O
the most amateur appearing kind /
ground for serious suspicion, an
should be reported at once to the at
, thOritiog
