AUTOS BLOCK TRAFFIC.
Congested Everything and Obscured
Pedestrians View During Circus
Parade.

So many automobiles were parked on
Market street yesterday during the circus
parade that pedestrians on the sidewalks
found difficulty in even getting glimpse
of the procession. while traffic between
the curbs was out of the question.
In addition to being irritating, except
to those who profited by this condition,
to the disadvantage of the great majority
of sightscers, there were some large Gle
ments of danger
All of which emphasizes the fact that
Market street is no thoroughfare on
which to park cars, day or night Why
the authorities permit it, and thus tempt
fate, besides inconveniencing the public,
the average citizen does not understand
Nobody objects to cars standing in
front of stores while the occupants are
making purchases, or for purposes of
loading and unloading, but the great ma
iority are merely kept along the curb
as a matter of convenience TO the owners.
and much inconvenience to the rest of
the public.
The same condition exists az the en-
trance to Shellpot Park, where, in all
probability, the county authorities will
take hand The streets and public
roads, everybody ought to admit, are
no places on which to park cars.

MATCH BY 7 PINS

Purse S4o0.-Mueh Putnam Money
Goes to Danielson.--Even On
Strings

The bowling special" was well
patronized Wednesday by bowling
fans of Putnam and Danielson who
went to Worcester TO see the match
between Frank Barber, proprietor of
the Casino alleys, Danielson. and
"Joe" Vandale, proprietor of the
Putnam alleys in the Putnam Inn
block. Barber won by seven pins, the
total scores being: Barber, 1915;
Vandale, 1869. On the strings won,
the men split even, each winning five.
The match was arranged for a
purse of $400 and the Jack Munsey
alleys, Worcester, were selected as
the place. The contestants and their
followers left Putnam on the ] o.
clock train and returned on the boat
train. Every cent of Danielson mon
ey was covered so that considerable
sum went down the river. However,
the Putnam fans are good losers and
have nothing to say. Mr.. Vandale is
satisfied with his own showing and is
not making any excuses.
As the score shows, Vandale got
poor start, but after hitting his stride
5owled them over in fine STYLE

SUGGESTS THE USE OF JAIL FOR
BABY INSTITUTION
No Public Home For Babies Under
Four Years of Age

Since there has been talk of utiliz-
other than a place of incarceration
for those convicted of crimes and
misdemeanors, several suggestions
have been made as to what use these
county buildings could be put to.
Since prohibition went into effect
prisoners in the Windham county
jail, where formerly from 10 to t0o
were housed.
Mrs. w. j. Bartlett of this city,
who is active in social welfare work,
suggests that the Jail and the large
adjoining farm might well be used as
an institution fer the care of babies
four years of age or under. Mrs
Bartlett states that there is no public
institution for the care of babies at
the present time. There are one or
two private places where babies may
be boarded and it is said that they
are filled to capacity most of the
time. Then there is the ST. Agnes
Home in Hartford, which is the only
institution provided for the care of
children under five years of age.
According to Mrs. Bartlett, she is
often appealed to by mothers and ia
theirs of babies Widows with babies
where the mother has to work in a
| factory to support herself is a COM
mon situation in this county. Thea
there are the unfortunate mothers
One such case happened this week
where the mother had to be taken to
an institution, leaving behind an in
FAINT child.
Mrs. Bartlett and Probation Officer
Peter A. Gardner accompanied this
woman to the State Farm for Wo-
| men and found AZ inmates there, and
FIVE had babies.
The city officials report favorably
| If this new state institution. They
found the inmates housed in separate
cottages, separated according to age
and to the reasons which brought
them to the institution. The inmates
are well fed, well cared for and made
as happy as possible. They enjoy
sports and entertainments and an or
chestra is being formed. One of the
Younger women plays cornet and is

unity to place 1t where it will be ap-

Beautiful hands can be acquired
says Priscilla Dean. 1t is not always
the shape of the hand which makes it
lovely. Quite often its fascination
lies entirely in the power and individ-
uality which its shape expresses.
Hands differ as much as faces. Incl
dentally, they reveal quite as much
of ones character | am not a palm
list. | cannot read anyone's history
from the palm. But | do know that
training and cultivation will accomp-
fish marvellous results in developing a
hand that, naturally, is merely inner
tied loneliness.
The word manicure does not
mean just the care of the nails but
the care of the entire hand Firm
flesh and taut muscles are marks of a
well-eared-for hand Someone has
said that it is impossible for any wo-
man to successfully conceal her age
unless she wears gloves all the time
With proper treatment, however,
they can be made to keep the secret
Cold, damp hands are an indication
of impaired blood circulation. This
can be remedied to some extent by
exercising. Massage will help this
and also will increase the plumpness
and shapeliness of hand and add to
its hexibility Rubbing the hands
with olive Gil is beneficial nine times
out Of ten.
Unless you want to attract atten-
ton to your hands don't wear con-
spicuous rings and bracelets. Use the
craRas -ssief .fers-renroving foreign
matter from under the nails. A met
al instrument is apt to bruise them
Never cut the nails with scissors. File
them to the proper length and Their

cry board.
Cutiele should never be permitted
to grow up over the half moon at the
root of the nail. After washing the
hands the cutiele should be gently
pushed back with the fiat edge of the
orange stick.

CITY COURT IN SPECIAL SEES
SION
Disposes of Two Cases Tuesday Az
noon

In order that Attorney Mangin of
New Britain might be in court to rep
esent William Shultz, whose home is
in that city, the city court held a spe-
cial session Tuesday afternoon.
ShuItz was charged with breach Of
the peace and some little girls from
, to IL years of are figured in the
erious charge that might have been
brought against the man, but he
pleaded guilty TO breach CT the peace
and no witnesses were heard.
Shultz's attorney said he was a
friend of the Shultz family and came
70 Putnam at the request Of the de-
PENDANTS mother more than to help
the defendant. He said that Shultz
was not Of normal intelligence and
had been arrested in New Britain
once on a similar charge. He said
that if the man was Of ordinary intel
ligence he would not try to defend
him, as he thought he should go to
Jail Under the circumstances he felt
that if Shultz could be taken home
and put under the influence of his
mother he would be all right. This
met the approval Of the prosecuting
attorney and the judge, who imposed
a sentence Of six months in Jail which
was suspended and the man turned
over to the probation officer Of New
Britain for period of six months.
Shultz is a locomotive fireman ant
had been working in Putnam.
The second case was ore in which
the defendant pleaded guilty to steal
ing $50 from his employer. The EN-
ployer told the court that he put SOM
money in the cash drawer and wen
out. When he returned $50 wa

place and he talked with them, and
both denied the theft, and the matter
was placed in Captain Bulger's hands.
The captain said he interviewed the
two men and finally got confession
from the defendant and the money
was found in the defendants shoe.
1t was brought out that the man
earned $50 d week and had a wife,
child, and mother-in-law to support.
When his employer said he would
give the man another chance he was
sentenced to jail for six months, the
sentence suspended, and he was put
in charge of the probation officer.
