DEMANDS LIFE TERM
IN GUN RCRBERIES
Bill Would Moke HoIdups In
eligible for Parole.

Alderman Charles III. Roberts, a Re-
publican member, introduced reso'u-
ton at yesterdays meeting of the Board
of Aldermen calling on the board to ask
the Legislature to ''ameno the penal
code to make acts of robbery commit
ted with gun punishable with lhe i'm
prisonment, and so to amend the law
dealing with the parole OF criminals as
to make men who use firearms In the
preparation of crimes ineligible for
parole" The reso' luton will be taken
up at the next meeting of the board.
Similar action was taken in Chicago last
week in the crusade against crime.
The Police Department was attacked
vigorously by several members during
the debate over a request from the
department for the authorization OF
$4,000 in special revenue bonds to
meet expenses incurred during the last
Brooklyn Rapid Transit strike. The
bonds were authorized over the protests
of Republican and Socialist members. the
Democrats voting solidly in favor Of the
issue. The Socialist members were par
ticularly bitter against the issue, declar-
ing that the department has so many
men looking after radicals, Bolsheviki
and strikes that ordinary citizens are
without protection.
Aldermen Robert Starr Allyn and
william +. Quinn led the Republican at
tack on the alleged inefficiency of the
Police Department. Quinn declared 1t
is impossible even to get Information
from the department. Alderman Charles
II. Haubert of the majority retorted
that he could get all the. information he
wanted, to which Quinn replied that one
of the troubles is that a man has to be
on the majority side of the administra-
ton before it is possible to obtain such
informal ton.

Registered bonds are negotiable only
by the owner. whose name each bond
bears. The bandits could easily separate
the registered from the unregistered
bonds. In addition 10 not having the
owners name most unregistered bonds
have interest coupons attached to them.
In the case of registered bonds the Is
suer thereof mails the interest to the
holder of record.
Liberty bonds all bear serial numbers
by which they could be identified. but
the number of Liberty bonds issued ls
so huge and there have been so many
robberies that In actual practice the Sc
rial numbers on bonds Offered for sale
is rarely compared with the list of stolen

ARE RETURNING TO FARMS
Not Many Of Uncle Sans Fighters
Have Succumbed to the Lure
Of the City.

OF Americas mighty war forces of
more than 100000 men, 100000, 1t
is estimated, came from farms. Rec
ords in the bureau of war-risk insur-
ance in Washington indicate that these
farm-bred or farm-raised boys carried
government life insurance amounting
TO over $1O,OOO,0O0,0O0.
During the earlier rehabilitation II
was so difficult to keep track Of the
discharged service men that IL seemed
as though very large proportion Of
them did not return TO their former
addresses or homes. So many OF the
service men who had come from the
farms seemed to be listening TO the
call of the city that 1t was feared more
than one-half of them were not going
back to the farms. Later the tide Of
migration set i'm toward the country,
and now it is believed that the loss in
man power to the farms, as the result
OF former service men settling else
where, may not be more than 500, 1000.

MUCH LIKE WESTERN CITY
Tifiis. Capital Of New Georgian Re-
public, by No Means Typical
of the East.

Mr.. Melville Chatter, recording i'm
Magazine. admits that he was sur
prised when he arrived In Tifiis, cap
ital of the new Georgian republic. He
had expected a city more suggestive
OF the East. as the Western mind pic
lures 1t; but the Golovinsky prospekt.
the main thoroughfare through the
heart Of the city, stretched before him,
"as handsome bit of modern metro
politanism as can be found anywhere"
and Its restaurants shops, opera. and
what used to be the viceregal palace
but which now flies the standard of
the new nation, suggested at once the
French adjective "chic." More than
that, this new capital was brilliant
with uniforms, Russian, Georgian, Ar
menian. British. and most picturesque
broad-shouldered. wash-waisted coat,
high. heelless boots. and astrakhan
cap. One marveled at the load OF
weapons that completed It; sword
rafting and clanking with the wear
er's martial stride. brace of pistols,
pair of daggers, and collection of
what looked like enormous fountain
pens hung across the Caucasian
bosom, but which turned out to be
hollow tubes intended to be loaded
with powder and shot. One must add
stiff mustaches and close-shaven
skull to picture this Georgian in all
his glory on the Golovinsky prospekt
Of his national capital. Clothing for
civilians is scarce and expensive in
Tiflis. but the cast-off uniforms of
military officers are for sale. and many
a citizen in need of new suit had
bought himself an old uniform.

REBUKED FROM THE PULPIT
Pastoral Adnonition, Gently Conveyed,
Should Have Been Enough for
Even Choir Boys.

The pastor of small parish In a
New Jersey town was known far and
wide about the countryside for his
quaint ways and eccentric habits. He
had small choir which he augmented
on special occasions with boys from
the neighborhood. These recruits were
sometimes unruly and he did not al
ways find 1t easy to hold them within
the proper bounds.
In the course of Christmas morn
Ing sermon several choir boys began TO
eat peanuts surreptitiously and the
cracking of the shells was plainly
audible to the congregation. At first
the. rector paid no attention TO them,
but finally they got on his nerves.
Pausing after an impassionate out
burst of oratory, he fixed his gaze
sternly upon them and thus addressed
them in reproving tones:
"Boys-you choir boys. / mean. If
you must eat peanuts in church, please.
oh, please, do not crunch the Shells
then turning again 10 the congregation,
he resumed his discourse.

Bangor on July of the same year.
This law was re-enacted. in all its

stringent in 1867 and again in 1870. 1t
was so amended in 1872 as to bring
cider and wine from grapes grown in

1884 an amendment was added to the
constitution prohibiting forever the
sale of Intoxicating liquors within the

What Becomes Of Old cars7

II has generally been assumed that
when an automobile begins to show its
age, II gravitates 10 the rural districts,
but the observing traveller knows that
the average farmer likes a new car as
well as the city man II is evident that
the fate of used cars, and the reason
for the comparatively strong price
maintained on them. must be sought in
other directions.
Many secondhand cars are bought
by small tradesmen, who convert them
10 commercial uses; but by far the
larger number return TO their makers,
or TO the various branches, where they
are dissected for the many parts that.
with a little cleaning, can be used
again, thus freeing the shops from the
necessity of turning out quantities OF
parts for replacement stock.
