Notice is hereby given that al boy

which prohibit Nc di-chatee III ir'
arms or fire works ana tho ''foa '',
OF balls, stones. and other ma iIo on
the streets OF the town Wll !' pro o.
cuted.
Within the last few day, several
complaints have been madr By citi."us
and also through the State Attorney,
that several OF the boys and young
men have acquired the practice of
shooting sling shots and eat rifle
within the town limits, which Is a.
direct violation Of the town ofdi
nances Lately several window pancs
have been broken, and only a day ago.
a small boy deliberately pointed q eat
rifle in the face Of another boy, not
realizing how dangerous sHch an act
might prove should the rifle have been
discharged. These acts are very dan
gerous and surely must hr stopped
II is our intention 10 give du" warn
ing TO the boys and their parent that
all persons found guilty Of Violating
these ordinances will be- arrested and
punished to the fun extent OF the
law.
! Our attention is also called to the
fact that too much latitude IS allowed
children on the streets late at night.
II has frequntly been noticed that
small children are often seen on the
streets when they should be- at home
or in the care of older persons. This
is especially true OF Sunday nights.
This is very bad practice and we
trust the parents will see that their
children are kept at home at night
instead of being allowed TO run
round and often making trouble. Tn
SIS this practice is stopped, il will be
ceesary TO pass a Curfew Ordinance.

MEANS FOUND TO
MAKE TROOP TRANS -
PORTS UNSUITABLE

Means have been found to make
troop transports unsuitable by sub
marines, according to statement
made Saturday night in New York by
William L. Saunders, vice-chairman Of
the naval consulting board. He said
that one of the ships recently COM
Wandered by the Government "now
lies at an Atlantic port and in such
shape that she cannot be sunk by an
exploding torpedo.
II can conceive of no reason why
this information should be With Id
he added con the contrary I1ssslleve
it is well that the enemy may come
to realize that the time has beer
reached when American ships are
ready for the transportation Of ou1
troops which that enemy cannot sink
This ship may have hole 80 or AZ
feet in diameter blown in her side, anc
she will remain afloat. Such hole
would waterlog but one-tenth of tfs
honey -combed alright cells.
"Of course, it will take some time
to equip similarly the large number
Of transports we have" continued Mr.
Saunders. ct is my belief, however
that nothing will be left undone b,
the administration to safeguard tn,
lives of large troop contingents to b,
