SCHOOL BOYS
 BORROW CARS
 FOR JOY RIDES
As Result Must Spend Morning Working to
 Pay Fines.

Four Bridgeport High school boys, who recently suffered such a severe attack of ''autonobiIitis'' that they "horrowed" about a dozen cars at different times for Joy riding pur- poses, were arraigned before Judge Wilder in the Juvenile court this morning. All of the auto "borrow- CTS" were placed on probation, and ordered to pay fines in weekly i'm stallments. Two of them will pay s1.5o a week for 5 weeks, one will pay s2 a week for 20 weeks and the other will pay s3 week for 20 weeks.
 It is estimated that the boys have taken about 12 machines with out permission, and after enjoying a ride abandoned the cars On the roadside. All of the machines which were taken have been recovered, but it was not Uati! few days ago that the po- lice were able to get track of the guilty parties.
 In making a decision on the cases this morning, Judge Wilder also de clarcd himself as being in favor of q good dose of work as a cure for this ailInent He therefore ordered that the boys secure jobs, work mornings and go to school in the afternoon.
