FORMAL RECEPTION
 TO NEW CITIZENS
91 Former Aliens Will Receive Ccrti- fcatCS at Elihu BuTIitt school
 This Evening.

This evening when Mayor Quigley opens the meeting at which 94 men will be presented with the paper Cer- tifying tl.at they are now AmeriCOn citizens, there will be enacted the completion of the miracle of trans forming aliens into Americans, in at least the legal sense. But how far that miracle may also apply to their way of living and thinking will de- pend perhaps more on the rest of us than on the individuals themselves. Contact with genuine Americans and association win them will make their transformation a reality. AS Presi- dent Wilson has remarked, If we are not genuine Americans, there will be nothing to infect them with, and no amount of teaching, no amount of exposition of the constitution will ac- cOmplish the object we have in view"
 Every person who regards the fun dam ental significance of such a pro- cess as the increasing of the nations citizenship should find some interest in coming to the ceremony held at the Elihu Burrit school hall, on North street, this evening at o'clock. There will be an address to he re- cipients of the certificate by Louis |. Hlade, the prmClpal or the New Britain High school. M. D. Sake will represent the court in delivering the fficial papers to the men. Music will be furnished by a male quartet.
 It would seem that all members of patriotic orders and societies would be especially interested in participating in such a program by being present and by extending the information and invitation to others less likely to be interested

GARAGEMAN JACOBS
 HAS EXCITING TIME
Takes Short Sleep and Awal>es to Find Four Men Trying to
 Steal Machine.

Steve Jacobs, proprietor of a garage on Main street, had an exciting expe- riencc with four auto thieves in Mid dlCtoWn last Tuesday which kept him busy for d few minutes until the timely arrival Of an officer relieved him of his WOrrN. Mr. Jacobs drove a party to MiddletoWn and while waiting for their return he fell asleep in the rear seat of the machine. Be- fore wrapping himself in the arms of Morpheus, Jacobs very carefully locked the car and then lay down. How long he remained asleep he does not know, but he was suddenly awakened by the appearance of four men in front of the car, One of the fellows urged his companions to take a chance and steal the machine tell ing them that they could easily dis pose of the car in Stamford.
 Just about this time Jacobs de- cidcd that he would take d hand in the affair, and, jumping up, he asked the men what they intended doing with his car. The mon immediately jumped from the machine and ran d short distance. When they looked around and saw only one man in the machine, their courage evidently re- turned. One of the quartet, who ap- parcntly was the leader, urged lis companions to go back to the ma chine and forCibly take it away from Jacobs.
 Things assumed a dark hue for Jacobs until there appeared upon the scene a policeman, and the auto thieves took to their heels. The policeman informed Jacobs that word had been received earlier in the eve- ming that four men had stolen a ma chine in Meriden and that he was on their trail.
