THIRSTY CHAUFFEUR
IS HEAVILY FINED
Theodore BouIey of Worcester Assess
ed $50 For Reckless Driving
While Drunk

Taking three WHISTLES before driving
to the Corbin Garage Saturay night,
cost Theodore Bouley, Of Worcester
$3.50 this morning. Bouley was fined
$50 for reckless driving and 500 for
operating a motor vehicle while under
the .inf1uenGe of liquor, by Judge
James T. Meskill in the police court
this morning.
Officer John Carlson made the ar
rest at about 1890 Saturday night
after Bouley had zigzagged down
Main street, knocked a silent traffic
officer over, and carried it $40 feet,
breaking 1t in two. Before Officer
Carlson saw the driver he had sped
through the "aisIe of safety" near
central park, and crashed into the
door of q pay-as-you- enter car. Car
starter Arthur Taylor entered an addi-
tonal complaint at the police station
for his hitting the car door.
Bouley stated that he came to New
Britain from Worcester, and being
wet and cold he took a drink of wine
at his brothers home on High street.
He then started for the garage but
as the rain had wet his wind shield
he was unable to see where he was
going He went through the aisle of
safety because Of ignorance of the
traffic regulations. When brought in
to headquarters he said he had three
WHISTLES before starting from his
brothers home. Attorney J. E. Cooper
appeared for Bouley.

another country May 80 is set aside
to honor the memory of the men who
fought to maintain unity in a single
country. November II will ever be
recalled as the date on which the en-
tine world was freed from threatening
political and economic slavery. 1t
should be celebrated in every land
that hasteued by a minute the down
fall of the Teuton autocrats and it
should be known as Victory Day.

Hartford, Nov. ia Thanks
giving Day dinner of Connecticut
grown foodstuffs! This is the sug-
gestion Of the Food Administration
made public today by Federal Food
Administrator Robert Scoville. Mr..
Scoville through Connecticut news
papers urged that every hotel, res
taurant and public eating place in
Connecticut as we'll as every family
which is in a position to do so,
should serve this year a Thanksgiv-
ing Day dinner made up enirely of
home grown or state grown products.
With the war about over the Food
Administration finds it necessary to
redouble its effort to persuade peo-
pie to conserve food Now more
than ever is food conservation nee
essary in order that the United
States, the storehouse of the world
for certain foodstuffs, may make
good it's pledges to the Allies and
also alleviate the sufferings of the
starving thousands in Austria, Rus
STA and other recently liberated
countries.
From the beginning of the activi-
ties the Food Administration : has
constantly urged the use of home
grown" or local food supplies as a
measure of conservation. The use
of such supplies saves transporta-
ton The greater the demand upon
the railroads and other means Of
transportation for space necessary to
haul food long distances to supply
our own people in this country, the
less can be done to rush supplies to
OUR Armies and to the Allies.
Throughout the United States eff
forts are being made to celebrate
Thanksgiving Day in an unusual
way. AS distinct measure Of food
conservation, and to demonstrate to
the public how food may be saved
by using local supplies, the Food Ad-
taurants, clubs and other public eat
ing places to serve on Thanksgiving
Day dinner made up entirely of
food produced in the state in which
restaurant is located. ~ Everything
served at the dinner, in order to
carry out the purpose Of this request,
should be home product
The number and variety of it's
food products is the boast of more
than one American commonwealth
and it is believed this contest should
provoke a. health'esrivalry. OF course
the best dinner MA not be the Iarg-
est, and care should be taken to pre-
vent waste through an excess of
dishes offered.

4 Plausible and Appealing Scheme
IT \

(New York Herald.)
Schemes for getting hold of other
peoples money always have been
popular, and just as the sight of a
gold watch or a roll of bills awakens
the predatory intincts Of the pick
pocket so do the great fortunes &C
cumulated in recent years stir the
imaginings of certain academic phil
osophers.
From this school of thought comes
the plan to redistribute these great
holdings by abOlishing the laws of in
heritance-- in other words robbing the
dead--a pra ctice heretofore conf ned
to ghouls. SO appealing is this
scheme that a book in it's favor has
recently been published that will
doubtless stir many shallow minds to
the senHblance of thought The author
of this engaging work paints the mil
lennium that will ensue when the last
estate shall have been looted and the
proceeds, from the improved real
property down to the pennies on the
dead mans eyes, distributed among
the raVenOus classes His estimate of
the sums to be acquired through this
system of wholesale robbery will
serve to commend the plan to the
element, never more numerous than
now, that wishes to acquire wealth by
any means save the ordained sweat Of
the brow
But the author neglects to show the
effect Of his proposed legal enactment
on those robbed of their patrimony
and on the thousands of me1, and
women too who are laboring zeaIously
to provide comfort for those depen-
dent on them and education for their
children--than which the world
knows no more worthy ambition, no
greater incentive to industry. Mean
while the work of redistributing the
so-called swollen fortunes" goes on
automatically, without any help from
academic busybodies.
