PROHIBITION AGENTS
 WATCH SHORE RESORTS

A careful watch is being made at all summer resorts along the Connecticut shore to detect violations of the federal prohibition act Thomas C.. McAuliffe, federal agent in charge of enforcement activities in this state, said that every beach in the state is being watched, the recently enlarged force of prohibition agents making this possible. Inland sum- mer resorts throughout the state are also being watched for sales of liquor, MT Mo Auliffe added.
 Federal officials, Mir. McAuliffe said, are of the opinion that most of the liquor that is being brought into Connecticut comes from Canada rather than from New York, Rhode Island or eastern Mas sachusetts. Because of that belief, the northern border of the state has it's anti liquor guard as we'll as the New York state boundary. Mir. McAuliffe said he felt that the capture of the whiskey-laden truck in Greenwich Wednesday night was an indication sof the effectiveness of the watch being maintained for liquor snug glers.
 Concerning violations of the prohibition laws, MT. McAuliffe said: Tt is my opin- ion that SO far as violation of the liquor laws are concerned, Hartford is as clean a city as there is in the state. There is, of course, some liquor being sold in the city, but we have evidence, against a few and expect to be ready to start some prosecutions before long"

FRESH AIR KIDDIES HAPPY
 BEACH OUTING SJTGGESTE

A Norwich woman who worked hard to help secure invitations for the seventy Fresh Air children to come to Norwich and who is entertaining two children in her home, suggested Sunday that it would be most gracious act, if other women owning automobiles would com bine. to give the kiddies an outing at the beach.
 All that would be needed would be a plain, substantial lunch of sandwiches, with maybe treat of an ice cream cone each at the shore. There are plenty of kindly women and men who would de- light in helping toward an afternoon S pleasure for these grateful kiddies, once somebody took the initiative ~
 With customary generosity, Manager Al Craig, of the Davis theatre, has in vited the entire 70, with those who are caring for them to a free matinee at the means unlimited happiness for the little strangers.
 In the main, people who are entertain ing the children Were surprise dat their neat appearance on reaching Norwich. Already a number of kind hostesses have provided their young charges extra changes of clothing underwear. blouses, hats, etc. In every case the frank grati- tude of the small folks has more than recompensed the givers for any outlay or extra trouble.
 One benevolent woman who has taken three children into her home finds her small guests a bit homesick i; but it is be- lieved this will soon be cured.
 The children remain until Wednesday, July 21st. In the meantime it is hoped that the proposed volunteer automobile squad may be gotten together, to give them the time of their lives on beach outing.

MAY HAVE ONE JAIL
 FOR FOUR COUNTIES

If prohibition continues to reduce the number of commitments to the jails in this state a proposal may be submitted to the general assembly to maintain but one jail for New London, Windham, Tol- land and Middlesex counties, comprising the second congressional district.
 In making statement to this effect, according to the Hartford Courant, Sher- if Charles A. Gates of Windham country said that while the matter had not been widely discussed by the public, some of ficials of thf four counties comprising the second district were agreed that if present conditions continued at the jails something would have to be done as a matter of business and economy.
 Before prohibition took effect the Wind ham and Holland county jais were self paying, the revenue coming from farm products raised on county land adjoining the jails. Expenses are larger now, be- cause much of this land cannot be titled of account of the small number of pris- oners, and f has been pointed out that the entire Second district could use the Windham county jail, thereby saving money for both the county and state. The prisoners now confined in the five jails in the Second district would fill only about three-quarters of the cells in the Windham county jail.
 The Windham county jail property at Brooklyn comprises about 200 acres. Before prohibition became effective July 1, 1919, about one-half of this was cul- tivated. Because prison help is so scarce only about one-quarter of it is under cultivation now. The jail contained 40 prisoners July l, 1919, nearly all of whom were victims of drunkenness. The aver age number of prisoners had been about 70, according to Sheriff Gates, but now there are but seven prisoners. Two of these were bound over for the next term of the superior court and five are "Ja- maica ginger drunks" Albert S. Fields, jailer. said he was doing his best-to get returns from the farm with the small amount of help at his disposal. The jail has contained as many as 100 pris- orrers at one time.
 There are only five prisoners at the Holland county jail at Vernon, and none are victims of drunkenness Three are federal prisoners, one having been con- victed of running a still at Stafford Springs. and the other two being re- spectively charged with burglary and big amy. The remaining two prisoners are serving shorter terms on charges of theft and breach of the peace. The jail has B cells. few of which have been oc- cupied since July | 1919.
 New London county has two jails. at New London and Norwich. The Middle sex county jail is at Higganum. At each of them the number of prisoners has during the past year greatly decreased.
