the report from Dr. Edward F. Perry, commander. of the American Legion post | here, that his Ford touring car was stolen Sunday evening from where it | had been left standing on Grove street, | opposite the physicians residence. With the car went two of the physi- | clans cases, one of them containing sur gical instruments worth between $500 l and $400 Dr. Perry said Monday morn ing that he felt the loss of the instru- ments more keenly than he did the loss of the Ford, which was touring car of 1916 manufacture The machine was registered Conn. 17055, and the manufacturers number was 1037522, June, 1916.
 Dr. Perry said Monday that the car was stolen between s and g o'clock Sun day evening. On account of the torn up condition of Grove street, where paving is being done, he was unable, without going a roundabout course, to drive the machine into his premises, Sc he left it standing in the street so that it would be convenient for him to use when he had finished doing some writ ing which he was engaged in at his home when the car was taken Dr. Perry 1 is of the opinion that the car wasdriyen off by the thieves in the direction of Danielson. The machine might be iden- tified by the manner in which the top was tied on to the 4tonneau in an l emergency arrangement following a lit- l tie incident in which the top was dam aged a few days ago..
 I Dr. Perry's loss, including the sudgical 1 instruments, is between $500 and S7e0. It was learned also Monday that l thieves were busy here Sunday afternoon.
 A box of eggs was stolen in broad day. l light from car owned by J. Carl Wit l ter of Danielson. The machine was park | ed at the railroad station while MT. and | Mrs. Witter were at dinner. at the Put | nam inn.
 l Windham county stood out Monday | like standard time island in a sea of | daylight saving. Putnam, Danielson and Willimantic were adhering to standard | time. notwithstanding that territory all l around them had gone on to the summer l plan of recording. time that trains and l trolley lines were following the new ltime. To the north of Putnam the
 Carosvenordales shifted time Monday and
 are now an hour ahead of this city, and
 on basis with Webster, in figuring the 1 time. In the GrosvenorCales the mills
 were being operated in accordance with
 the daylight saving plan.
 | This city stood pat. So did Danielson. So did Willimantic. To the south Jewett l City shifted into the daylight saving column of towns. To the east all of
 Rhode Island was on daylight saving
 time, and the same applied to all of
 Massachusetts, to the north.
 There have been differences of oDinion
 ill the past over daylight saving There
 is no difference of opinion over having
 to to do business under dual system If keeping time. K The double time is 1 generally regarded as a ridiculous nuis- ance. Imagine. for instance, Leon Il Walker. coming to his business in Put 1 nam from his home in North Grosvenor : dale and arriving here before he leaves | home. and also consider his requiring an hour and half, according to clock. l here and in his home town, in getting
 back at night when it only takes twent!
 minutes to drive the distance. Imagin, also Boston telephone operator puttint
