SCANDAL SHEETS IN
 HARTFORD STOPPED
Board of Aldermen Takes Steps
 to Prevent Sales

Hartford May 24.-Following a brief discussion bearing on the legal angle of the proposition, the board of alderman. with but one dissenting voice, last night passed a resolution designed to eliminate the sale and dis tribution within the city limits of those publications poularly known as Scandal sheets."
 The resolution designed to "kiIr' the scandal sheets" was drawn up by Corportion Counsel Shutz and introduced by Alderman Alton. It reads as follows:-
 Section 1. Section 407 of revised ordinances of 1920. declaring certain acts of nuisance is hereby amended by the addition of the following clause:-
 The sale or distribution within the limits of the city of Hartford of any book. phamphlet, magazine, news paper or other printed matter devoted to the publication, or principally made up, of criminal. salacious. scandalous. immoral or obscene news, reports or pictures: or stories of scandal, blood shed, lust or crime; and the sale or distribution of any such book, pamph- let. magazine. newspaper. or other printed matter which does not con tain the name and address of the author or publisher thereof"
 Immediately on completion of the reading Of thn resolution, Alderman Neivert. moved for its passage under suspension of the rules The motion was seconded by Alderman Daniels. Alderman Jones said that in view of existing state legislation on the same subject. he thought the ordinance would not be necessary. To this both Alderman Daniels and Alderman Ra- phael objected strenuousiy. saying that the scandal sheets had a de- grading influence on the moral tenor of the city and that their publication should have been stopped long ago. Alderman Conroy also questioned the necessity for a local ordinance in view of existing state legislation.
 Mayor Brainard said that the "scan- dal sheets" were, in the opinion of several prosecuting attorneys, so clev- erly worded as to be just within the law. but that the introduction of cer- ain phrases into the proposed ordi- nance would be sufficient to exclude the publication from the city. On the motion of sunspension of the rules, the "yea" was unanimous and given in no uncertain tone. On the motion for passage of the resolution, however. Alderman Jones, on the ground that the ordinances was un- necessary, opposed its passa ge. The other eighteen alderman at the meet ing were unanim ously in favor of it's adoption.

PART TWO

They went satirically down the
street, their chumminess with one an
other bountifully increased by their
common derision of the outsider on the
porch; and even at a distance they
still contrived to make themselves IN
tolerable; looking back over their
shoulders, at intervals, with say-not-so
expressions on their faces Even when
these faces were far enough away to
be but yellowish oval planes, their
say-not-so expressions were still biting

Now northern breeze chilled the

The Flavor Lasts
SUNsHADES FOR LUCKY DOGS
Innovation That Was Brought About
by the Protraeted Spell Of Un-
usually Hot Weather.

One of the quaintest innovations Of
the recent heat wave In London was
the introduction Of sunshades for
dogs. These consisted Of light crepe
de-chine projections suspended over
the animals necks by light wire
strands.
The ''lucky" animals whose masters
or mistresses bought the sunshades
did not seem so pleased with them as
perhaps the donors had hoped, re-
marked London Answers.
One dog found the heat 80 oppres-
sive that he sought the shelter Of a
railway tunnel on the Hlghbury tube.
Here he was. however. SO frightened
by the continual passing OF trains
that he shrank into dark corner and
remained there for two days. until
his master, on the information Of a
railway man, fetched him.
Although sunshades for dogs made
their first appearance, there was a
strange absence of the straw hats
that horses used to wear before the
war. Have horses been SO hardened
by the great campaign that they do
not need the consideration that dogs
get?
