were assigned to the case by Captain
E. o. Cronan, chief of the detective
bureau, and according to their re-N
port, the cement securing the grating
above the cellar window was cut away
with chisel and the grating lifted
out. Then the window was jinnmied
open and entrance to the store gained
in that manner.
1t is surmised that the burglars had
an automobile to carry off the heavy
load of loot and efforts are now being
directed to find the machine which
did the hauling.
When interviewed today the man
agement of the store refused to give
any information that would throw any
kind of light On the robbery and re-
ferred all inquiries to the police de-
partment.
In making their investigation the
detectives were able to secure the
tools used by the burglars and these
will be turned over to Lieutenant
Haux the Bertillion expert in order
to find some traces of finger prints
that might lead to the Identification
of the thieves.

KEROSENE SUPPLY WILL BE
SHORT

The supply Of kerosene will run
short this winter. Each user must
do his part toward saving il. Every
gallon must be made TO do war duty
by giving forth its full measure OF
light and heat. This can be ac-
complished only if good care is
taken Of lamps, lanterns, heaters and
stoves. The Director of Oil Con-
servation of the United States Fuel
Administration announces these
principles of fuel saving:
1. Keep all lamps and lantern
globes clean. Let the light shine
out. Don't coniine il behind smok-
ed and dirty chimneys.
?. See that burners and wicks OF
all oil burning devices are clean.
Clean burners require less oil and
give better lights.
3. Don't allow a lamp. lantern,
heater or stove TO burn a minute
longer than is necessary. Don't
light one you can do without.
I. Don't use coal oil for, cleaning

LEARNING TO KNOW OURSELVES

More than a year had passed since
the epoch-making day at Lexington
and Concord. For the colonists, IL
had been a year Of feverish anxiety
and activity. Ticonderoga and Crown
Point had been taken; Bun
ker Hill had claimed its 1900 dead.
Washington had taken command of
the patriot army. The British had
been driven out Of Boston.
Vet the colonies were still bound
together with but a rope Of sand.
The thought NJ final separation from
the mother country, of permanently
relinquishing the privileges on
British citizenship. was bv no means
popular. There still was hope that
the wrongs of the colonies might
be- rcdresscd The Tories. great in
number. in wealth and in influence,
would not listen to talk of scpara-
ton. The Quakers and Moravians
we're opposed to war as sinful and
would content themselves with such
redress as might be obtained
thru rcmonstrance. Others, will
ing to go TO any extreme, where
there was chance Of success. could
soc no hope.
The Continental Congress discuss
ed the question long and keenly. On
the eth of June. resolution had
been introduced, declaring That the
United Colonies are and ought to be
free and independent" Seven colo
MES had voted for il: six voted
against. Greater unanimity was in
.dIspensable.
All thru June the debate was wag-
Cd. Then came the great day-July 4.
main in session until the issue
i776. The delegates took their places
early in the morning and the doors
were closed II was decided To- re-
should be settled. one way or the
other. Three millions of people
waited.

loo ked doors were thrown open
and the delegates came pouring out
with faces flushed but jaws set.
Lexington. Concord. Ticonderoga,
and Bunker Hill had taught the
world 10 know the hearts of the
American patriots. The Declaration
OF Independence taught the patriots
to know themselves.
I'm this work for democracy. we
are learning to know ourselves.
