REAL WEAPONS

When a seven year old boy brought
q revolver holster and cartridge belt
filled with 80 calibre long Colt shells to
the police station Sunday afternoon
with the complaint that an older boy
had taken the Colt revolver from him,
the police learned that several small
boys have been engaged in play that
might result in q serious accident.
It seemA that several Of the lads IN
choosing Up sides for two armies and
appointing certain ones an German
spies had added as much realism as
possible by getting weapons quietly
from their homes. Some had air guns,
ono had shot gun and the lad who
came to the police had had loaedd 80
calibre colt revolver and belt flled
with cartridges. One youngster carried
q gun nearly foot long.
The two armies and German spies
operated between Washington street
and the Market streat bridge Sunday
and had not one Of the larger boys
taken the gun away from the smaller
who then came to the station, the po-
lice would probably have not heard OF
the incident soon enough to take meas
ures to prevent serious accident.
The police ask the cooperation OF
teachers In the school to report boys
carrying guns. Parents are warned to
watch their children for the penalty for
those caught with weapons will be a
torn in the industrial school.
