GARDEN BIRD BATH.

One of the joys of a garden is having a bird bath. To see the little feathered folk come perch there in the morning twittering and ruffling their wings in their best bird talk thank you. is worth any pains you may take to make one.
 Of course. some bird baths cost $40. but a homemade one gives just as much. if not more, pleasure and can be made for less than a dollar. This is what one boy did. In and around his garden were any number of stones. a not uncommon occurrence as MT. Commuter well knows. He began making a mound of them iutersprin- kled with moss and ferns. No one knew just what he was going to make. A hollow place in the center added to the mystery. One day the hollow was filled with an ordinary agate ba- sin. Flowers and ferns soon covered most of this. It was an attractive ad- dition to the garden and hardly was 1t filled before a flock of feathered friends were ready 10 inspect their new bath. Perhaps they watched it in the making. who knows

With the arrest of Joseph Giada, 19, of IFS East Main street, yesterday af- ternoon, the police secured the man who is believed to be responsible for many of the petty robberies which have been committed in Bridgeport during the past few weeks.

MkLFEASANCEF FOR COURT TO KEEP ANY OF BAIL
Must Forward Entire For feitures to Motor Vehicle
 Commissioner.
CONSTABLES HAVEN'T
 RIGHT TO TAKE BONDS
Attorney Generals Opinion Names Officials Who May
 Do So.

Hartford, Aug. 23.---Failure of any court officials to transmit to the motor vehicle commissioner, in full, bail bonds forfeited because of the non-ap- pearance of individuals arrested for violations of the motor vehicle law is constituted "malfeasance in office" in an opinion sent yesterday by Attor- ney General Frank E. Healy to Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel The right of constables, deputy sheriffs and inspectors of mo- tor vehicles to demand or accept bonds for the appearance of any per son arrested under the motor vehicle law. The opinion is as follows:
 "I have received the following letter from you:
 Will you please give me your opin- ion as to the following points:
 First, has any constable, deputy sheriff, police officers or inspector of the motor vehicle department any authority to demand or take a bond
 for appearance from any offender under the motor vehicle law for ap- -pearance in court?
 Second, if a bond for appearance
 Is taken by the court and later for
 feited by non-appearance or other
 wise, has the justice in whose court the bond or must the amount of the
 any costs or must the amount of the
 bond be turned over to the state
 net?"
 My opinion on your first question
 is that under our statutes no consta- ble, deputy sheriff or inspector of motor vehicles has any authority
 to demand or take a bond for appear
 ance from a person under arrest for
 violation of the motor vehicle law.
 If the offense charged comes within
 teh final Jurisdiction of any city, town, borough or police court. the chief, acting chief, superintendent of police, captain or any person who may be lawfully exercising the pow CTS of any such officer may, when court is not in session. take a bond for the appearance of the accused before such court. Stating the ques- ton affirmatively bail bonds can only
 be taken by a judge. justice of the peace, clerk of a court, county com
 missioner or person lawfully act ing as head of police force in any municipality having a city, town, borough or police court when the l court is not in session and the offense charged is within the final jurisdic- ton of such court
 The law relating to forfeited bonds for offenses committed in violation of the minor vehicle act reads as fol- ] lows: All fines collected for viola tions of the provisions of this act and all forfeitures and fees other
 than taxable costs shall be paid to | the commissioner with thirty days , from the date of imposition by the | clerk of the court or by the justice | of the peace imposing the same .. The language used in this acc ex- | presses the intention of the Legisla- | ture so clearly that it admits of no other construction than that all bonds taken for violation of the motor ve- hicle law that become forfeited are to be paid over to the commissioner of motor vehicles without deductine | the costs of the court or any other charges of any kind or character. The
