GIRLS CLUB DRIVE
 FOR MEMBERS

The membership campaign which Is being conducted by the Putnam Girls club during this week has had most gratifying results. When the first re- ports were made, 41 new members were enrolled and both team captains, Miss Diana Riendeau and Miss Joseph inc Miller, felt certain that the de- sired end of the campaign-100 new members-would be realized by next Monday night. On that evening, the club will hold a Victory Social, fol- lowing a brief business meeting, and all members, old and new, are expect ed to attend. Now that the girls have a piano and victrola, there is music in the air" most of the time, and at the conclusion of Monday evenings s program. dancing will be in order. Miss Charlotte Embleton will give an interesting demonstration of how to put down eggs.

NEAR EAST DRIVE
 GOING WELL

The drive for funds to be used m relieving starvation and physical sui fering in the Near East has been Tn progress this week and the chairman, E. H. Snow, said this Friday morning that it is going nicely although 1t IS not thought that Putnam has reached it's quota of s1 300. The amount ask ed for is so small that many people have not contributed, thinking that others would do it and the amount would be raised.
 The movement has the endorsement of the national government and the fund being raised will be used in a reconstruction program that will make Armenia free and independent state and bring the country out from beneath the heel of the terrible Turk.
 The Turks have driven the Chris tians into the desert, ravished the wo- men and caused untold suffering. Ii is to alleviate this that the Near Easi drive is being walked and is a purpose that should touch the heart of every human being.

man who handed out such a day well, you all remember what kind of a day Friday was. One wouldn't real ly have thought they would have pick ed Friday anyway, but then, there was lobster on the menu, and, when on Friday morning they, the lobsters, were in the Coloners ice box ready for the salad artist, it was up to the eonspirators to get those three vo- men off to the big town and the shops even if they had to resort to chlero- form. Perhaps few extra simoleons to spend did the trick, together with the assurances of each of the three. made without smile. that it would clear off before the steam cars got be- yond the May street crossing. Again the unsuspecting ladies ladies fell for it and boarded the l0.30 train with at least one of the trio of wise ones scouting around to see that they real ly got off--or on.
 The echoes of the departing train were still rebounding among the hills when over. at home on Sunnyside things began to move. The firut l thing was to find the silver and linen to prepare the table. The head of the house knew he owned the articles, for ] he had bought and paid for them. Whether his wife had taken them with her or had a secret panel into store room with which he was not aequaint- ed, he did not know, but he was up against 1t shortly, for nowhere in that house could he find enough apotless napkins, tray cloths, table cloths and ] things to make showing, to say nothing about lack of silver ware. ] The other members of the trio were appealed to- One of them, being q daetor, made several viStts to the home where the scene of the activi- ties were to be laid. A schef" in white apron seen about the house was mistaken for a nurse. With the sup posed nurse on the inside and the doc tor making frequent trips from with out. the neighbors became alarmed and appealed to each other for news of whom was about to make the long, long journey from this particular home. There was no information forthcoming. All unconscious of the alarm arising, the three gentlemea continued to carry out their plans, and they were well carried out, as win appear in subsequent chapter.

They Say-That the way to a mans heart is through his stomach. Ad- hitting this, to save argument, there are many men, three of them have come out from under cover recently, who believe that women are not averse to substantially admiring gas tronomy. and, notwithstanding at least one poet raved about the fair sex to such length as to say woman was so near perfection that it was an- tagonistie to his poetic, artistic taste to watch her manipulate the handles of knife, fork and spoon, it is and has been proven, that if daintily set before her, woman can go over the top at an eat fest and hold her own with any man that ever surrounded the pies, cake, ct cetera that mother used to make.
 Whether it was to touch the hearts of their wives, or to prove that the old saying applies to women as we'll as men, three wise gentlemen of this city did, to wit, on Friday, the 2Sth day of March, A D. 1919, prepare such feast and did so daintily set 1t before the ladies, who occupy the ops posite end from the heads of their tables in their household on ali or dieary occasions, that they, the ladies aforesaid, did eat and praise their husbands and did offer for evermore to allow them, the husbands, to pre- side at the kitchen range and among the pots and pans, which the gentle. men did not even deign to take under consideration. praferrirg to return to the usual course iu the nome with wives providing the eats after they have paid the butcher, baker ana iee cream man
 We say three .swisee men advised ly for these three gentlemen did not go to their wives and say unto them-- Here, wives, you get out of the kteh- en for a day and let us show you what we can do" Oh, no, not they, they were the real wise men and knew that such a proceeding wouldn't get them anywhere7-especially anywhere near the kitchen. These men have read the newspapers and that is where they got the camouhage stuff we set forth in the heading of this story. Any man knows a womans' weakness. Even the kiddies playing they are grown ups know it, so, in this, the husbands of too long a time to be called newly weds for quite some years, need little credit for this move. They told the three trusting and unsuspeeting wo- men that they had better go to a sis ter city in the nearby Bay State shop ping.
 Delighted, of course. All three women fell for the cami' stuff like a lot of blind soldiers. But 1t was near ly spoiled at that The expose near happened on account of the weather

TEN WAYS OF MAIN TANNING A CLEAN CITY

By electing public officials who will enforce the laws of the State of Connecticut and the Unit ed States of America.
 By holding them responsible for the enforcement of law in the City of Putnam.
 3.-By showing interest in the City Courts and not letting them be attended by loafers only, who are in sympathy with the convicted criminal.
 4.-By showing the City Judges that you appreciate penalties that lessen offenses and have no pa- tience with small fines arranged for before the eases come to trial.
 5.-By not avoiding jury duty and by making such changes in ex- isting methods of selecting jurors as win make it impossible for the defendants attorney to excuse citi- zens known to be earnestly against vice.
 6.-By paying your police force adeouate salaries, and being care ful who are admitted to civil ser vice examinations. Good work should be we'll paid for and an effi- cient officer deserves a high price. By reporting violations of law to the proper authorities, who are not always insineere when they claim ignorance of them. s.-By being constructive as well as destructive. Provide de cent places of amusement as you close those that are indecent.
 9.-By asking yourselves what organizations are doing the most to give you a clean city and then by supporting them. The under world" pays heavy tax for it's vice. Are you not willing to pay as much for its suppression? 10.-By remembering that the foundations of character are laid in the good home and the church, and that social reform will be only temporary if this is not recognized.

REACH AWARDED
 S13S DAMAGES
Judge Burpee Finds Defend ant Andrews Negligent In
 Driving Colt on Highway
Case Was Appealed From Justice
 Court By Defendant

Judge Burpee has handed down his decision in the case of George l.. Reach of Ashford vs. Earle Andrews of Woodstock. The plaintiff gets damages of $13S.34.
 The action was tried at the recent term of the superior court in Putnam, Attorney Howard c. Bradford of the firm of Searls, Russell X Bradford, representing the plaintiff. and Charles L. Torrey representing the defendant.
 The case grew out of an accident that happened on the state road in South Woodstock nearly year ago. Plaintiff, with his wife, was driving an automobile toward Putnam when he met the defendant driving pair of horses. When the two vehicles came opposite each other the horse of the defendant climbed on top of the plaintiffs automobile hood and the pole of the wagon went through the top of the auto. Mrs. Reach was somewhat injured.
 Plaintiff claimed that the nigh horse of the defendant was being driven in harness for the first time. Defendant claimed that he signalled plaintiff to stop as his horses were un- manageable. The case was tried in a justice court and plaintiff was award ed $60 damages, from which decision the defendant appealed.
 In his finding Judge Burpee says:
 "The evidence proved, and in facl was scarcely denied, that the defend ants nigh horse was only partly brok- en and was unmanageable and uafit to be driven on the public highway, and the defendant was, therefore, negli- gent. in the manner he was driving it when the accident occurred, When the plaintiff at some distance observ- ed the antics of the defendants nigh horse. he slowed down his motor ve- hiele and had brought it to a stop just before the accident happened. The aefeaAaat did not si&nal Each Of the parties was on his right side of the aad arff faese vias p'eatg of room fa' them to pass each other Just before the defendants horse reached the au tomobile he backed and croucheo down upon his launches and defend ant urged him forward with his reins The horse sprang forward upon the automobile and carried with him the pole of the wagon. This pole struck the automobile below the windshield, passed through the windshield in an upward direction and through the top of the car.
 ''The plaintiff was not negligent in any respect. The defendant was neg ligent in driving the nigh horse in the place and manner he did, and the in- juries to the plaintiff were caused by this negligence.
 "The only evidence of damages was to the effect that the repairs to the automobile cost $3834, loss of use of the car, $25, and permanent injury to the automobile, $75, total of S13g.84. Judgment may be entered accordingly"
