grievous hurt to me that | can't

YOUNG MAN, IS,
 KILLS COUSIN, 5
Fires Bullet Because She Threw
 a Taunt at Him

New York, Jan. S.-A youth, { eighteen years old, infuriated by the taunting references of his little cousin to the size of his head, shot her to death last night at No. 639 Third avenue, Brooklyn, put his pistol back in his pocket and escaped.
 The killing came as a climax to a celebration of Little Christmas" in the home of Joan and Mary Sennick The father had lain down for a nap and the mother was in the kitchen with her six months old baby. Paul. inc, not yet six years old, was in the front room with Torres Tyzien. A boarder, Daniel Zopejdal, was there also, and it was from him that the police obtained the details of the shooting.
 In one corner was a Christmas tree. Pauline was romping in front of it and Tyzien was doing his best to be a congenial playmate. All the play was in the best of humor until the child called to her cousin in laughing tones, Big head!'
 There was an instant change in the youth. according to Zopejdals story, and at a repetition of the term he spanked her severely. The little girl ran to her bed in another corner of the room, placed her head in her arms on the >footboard and sobbed. zopejdal protested mildly and re- turned to his reading, his back turned upon the others.
 As the sting of the spanking sub sided she dried her eyes, lifted her face and in a tone that indicated the anger she felt she shouted, Big head!"
 ZopejdaI turned in time to see the youth with rapid strides go to the little girl and drag her from the foot of the bed as if to repeat the spank ing. But this time he adopted stern CT measures to silence her taunts. With his left hand he held her at arms length, and before Zopejdal could interfere had pulled a pistol from his pocket and fired.
 AS Pauline fell to the floor, dead, Tyzien thrust the pistol back into his pocket, dashed into the hall. down three flights of stairs and escaped The boarder told Reuben Wilson, a5- sistant district attorney, when exam ined at the Fifth avenue police sta- ton, that he was too f1ustered to give pursuit. The child's father was awal1- ened by the shot, but by the time he could comprehend what had happened his cousin had obtained a good start
 As soon as detectives obtained a description of Tyzien they began a search for him, and 1t is not believed he will be long at liberty. There were also numerous volunteer searchers. Pauline was a popular child in the Russian Polish community and the killing caused clamors for vengeance.

PATRIOTISM AS
 TAUGHT IN SCHOOLS
Efforts Made to Instill Love of Coun- try in Heart of SchoI-
 arS

During the past few years the teaching of patriotism has been in- augurated in the New Britain schools. It is not in the curricula of the schools as a definite course or subject that can be studied but it rather per Vades every branch of school life.
 theoretically it is taught in the class room in the study of history, for example, and it is taught in the exam s1natlon of the lives of great patriots. SIhe chief value of the teaching of pa- eNrlotlsm comes in the practice of it. Hhls practice is developed by employ
 nent of service leagues in the schools
 mich give the pupil chance to help
 the administration of the school
 qd in spreading the community spirit .nr service which is fostered by the Rervice and civic leagues.
 The practical service of the pupils Is based upon habit. If the child is Instructed as to what the right thing Nto do is, and how he should do it he Pcomes to have the ability, natura, in- cHnat1on and desire to do it and serve his community and country. 1t mas been pointed out that it would De almost impossible for Americans to commit the atrocities in war that the Germans have for the simple req son that they have not been brought up and trained to do those things.
 National holidays are being ob- served with more care and are being treated with more importance in the schools than in former years. Pa- triotic songs are sung and poems re- cited to make the knowledge of them common. The teaching considered as a whole is highly successful and is made as practical as possible.

SCOUTS TO ACT AS
 DISPATCH BEARERS
Local Members Will Assit in Move to Combat German Propaganda
 In This City.

Beginning with the week of Jan- uary 20 the New Britain Boy Scouts, in common with those all over the country, will start on a new duty of combating the German propaganda being spread broadcast by distributing official messages to be sent out by President Wilson. The Scouts are to act as governm ent dispatch bearers in this campaign and each Scout will be called upon to get in touch with at least 5 people who will be influential in boosting the cause of America
 In explaining this new Scout activ- ity, Scoutmaster Dwight Skinner ex- plains that from time ti time as off, cial bulletins of pamphlets are sent out from Washington by the commit tee on Public Information the Scouts will be entrusted with the work of de- livering them and each Scout will de- liver such pamphlets to the list of people he selects. Tn further explan- ation of this innovation the following letter from President Wilson to the president of the national council of the Boy Scouts is printed
 T desire to entrust the Boy Scouts of America with a new and important commission, to make them the gov ernment dispatch bearers in carrying to the homes of their community the pamphlets on the war prepared by the Committee on Public Information The excellent services performed by the Boy Scouts in the past encourages me to believe that this new task will be cheerfully and faithfully dis charged.
 Sincerely yours,
 WOODROW WILSON"
