II WON'T BE HERE LONG"
MRS. GARROW REPORTED
TO HAVE SAID TO EAlMzLY Y
GERMAN FORCES ON
ODER ARE INCREASED
Poles are Also Strengthening Their Po
sition with Artillery, But Have
Suspended Operations.

Oppeln, Silesia, May l3 tBy the As
socated Press German forces on the
left bank of the Oder are being grad
uallv augmented by the arrival of for
mer German soldiers from Breslau anc
a number, it is known, are coming iron
Germany. Several hundred security po
lice from Hamburg and Kiel and few
from other German cities have reached
Brieg. 20 miles northwest of here ant
are authoritatively reported to have
placed themselves at the disposal OF
German authorities there.
The Poles, in the meantime, are
known to be strengthening their posi-
tions with artillery, although they are
not advancing. French sources declare
that Adalbert Korfanty, leader of the
Polish insurrection, has "heeded Gen
eral Lerond's instructions for the first
time, and suspended his offensive.
A German counter offensive. it Is
believed, cannot be prevented unless the
Poles evacuate their positions, the i'm
preston prevailing among German
leaders that if the Poles are permitted
to hold territory they have occupied
the Germans would have similar rights
should they succeed in driving out the
invaders and occupying the same re-
gion themselves.
Berlin, May l3.-The general strike
begun by the German workmen at Op
peln, upper Slesia, in protest against
the attitude of the inter allied commits
sion toward the Polish insurrection has
been called off, according to adviee'
from Oppeln to-day.
Members of all the German parties
including the German nationalists anc
the communists, visited the headquar
ters of the commission yesterday and
were assured by General Lerond, head
of the commission, that no negotiations
with the Polish insurrectionists as had
been reported, had taken place. He
said he had asked for military rein
forcement and would be glad to see
British and Italian troops sent to the
district

die coal of any description loaded or
previously handled by "blackleg" labor.

ACCUSED MAN
SAYS HE TRIED
TO HIDE PISTOL.
And That Mrs. Garrow
Found 1t Twice-Garr0w
Was Subjected to Crcss-
Examination To-day By
Attorney General Archi-
bald In Trial at st. AL.

wounds. had intimated short time be-
fore her death that 81 won't be here
long" was presented in Franklin coun-
ty court to-day by Edward Garrow,
husband of the woman and the person
charged with her murder, and also by
his two children, Dorothy and Earl
Garrow. The evidence was introduced
to support the theory OF suicide which
was held for long time by the author
tiles after the woman's body was found
in her home.
Edward Garrow was on the stand
quite a time to-day in cross examina-
ton by Attorney General Archibald.
He admitted having quarreled with his
wife frequently and also his attend
ance to their hired girl, Alice Thomas.
He answered all of Attorney General
ArchibaIds questions without hesita-
tion and told practically the same de-
tails as he had testified to in direct
testimony yesterday.
Garrow admitted havig gone to
Abercorn. p. O., to see Alice Thomas
after that woman left employment in
the GaTrow house. He said he went
once or twice a week.
Asked as to the condition of Mrs.
Garrow for short time before her
death. Garrow said she was unusually
nervous and had made remarks during
their quarrels that she would not be
there long
did your wife know of the revolv'
err asked Archibald.
"Yes," was Garrow's answer
Knowing that your wife was very
nervous. why did you not hide the re
volver?" asked the attorney general.
Garrow answered; Il did; about
two weeks before her death / took it
from bureau drawer upstairs and
carried it downstairs She found it;
SO I took it back upstairs"
did you put It in the same place 2
'No; / put il in different drawer
of the bureau and covered it up"
"Why didn't you destroy the gun or
take il from the house,
81 didn't think to" was Garrow's an
swer.
When the respondent was dismissed
from the stand. his children, Dorothy
and Earl. were called. They testified
as their father had done about hearing
their mother say she wouldn't be there
long.
Joseph Playful and Chauncey Bill
leau, farm hands employed by Garrowi
being called ythe defense, both tes-
titled that they and Gsrrow left the
house at the same time on the day
Mrs. Garrow died.
John Gibson, an undertaken, of Enos-
bnrp Falls testified that he reported
that Mrs. Garrow had committed sui
eide and that he still believed that the
woman killed herself. Billeau was on
the etand for cross examination when
recess was taken at noon.
For mo-e than two hours yester-
day afternoon Garrow, in direct testi-
mony, gave a history of his married
life.

An astonishingly large number o1
new members are now lined up With
the older membership in a determine
tion to see the Board Of Trade flour \
ish in the next three years. Fifty doll
lars was the popular subscription FROM
merchants and manufacturing concerns.
Professional men of Barre, including
doctors and lawyers, registered praeti7 i
eally 100 per cent in their demonstra 4
ton of loyalty.
Another outstanding feature was the
number OF women voters who believe
that active support OF the Board OF
Trade movement goes hand in hand
with the exercise OF the suffrage. Barre
Town responded splendidly and the
team of workers assigned to the out
living sections was one of the first to
exhaust its supply of membership
blanks. More and more Barre's agri-
cultural interests are coming to real
ize that greater Barre means a bet
ter market, and that If the city pros

ate,
The signal success of the co-opera-
tive Barre creamery, which in its sani-
tary milk regulations is unique among
similar enterprises in the United
States. has brought many farmers to
the organization point of view. To-
day and to morrow the remainder OF
the territory in Barre Town will be
covered. and districts here in the city
which were unvisited yesterday will be
canyassed. At Board of Trade head
quarters this morning it was said that
final returns undoubtedly would not be
completed until the middle OF next
week
Meanwhile several large member
ships, calculated to give the present
total a big boost, are about to be
closed. Two local teams have not made
their reports, although the member :
shin they have secured would make the

TIRE BOOTS AFFORD
NEEDED PROTECTION
Patches Prevent Inner Tube
From Blowing Out.
Several Kinds Of Devices In Use-
Type Most Generally Used 10 In
serted Inslde Of casInp-ToweI
Comes In Handy.

A blowout patch, or boot. Is one
which is placed either inside or on the
outside OF a casing to preve' the in
ner tube from blowing out. IL the tire
carcass has a weak spot It should of
course be v%ulcanized IL the tire Is
worth II. But II the tire is so badly
worn or damaged as not to be worth
vulcanizing, a blowout patch may be
used to strengthen the weak point.
There are several kinds In general
use.
The hook on" kind, as the name
implies, is a type that hooks on over
the tire around the rim of the wheel
and securely reinforces the fractured
place in the casing. These patches,
however, make n rather rough-riding
proposition. Every time the wheel
goes around and the patch comes In
contact with the ground, a distinct
jolt Is felt by the occupants of the car.
A similar boot is also made In the
"lace on" style-that Is. II a be
laced on over the bad place in the as
ing by a lace which passes through
metal eyes In the same manner that u
shoe is laced.
Blowout patches inserted inside the
casing prevent the tube from coming

STATE ROAD HELP OLD IDEA
First Money Paid for Highway lm-
provement Made by Kentucky
rs Years Ago.

1t is often said that the use Of state
money for the construction of roads
Is Of quite recent origin, says a bulle-
tin from the American Highway asso-
citation. The New Jersey state aid
law of 1901 is sometimes referred to
as the first instance of such use Of
state funds In this country. AS a
matter of fact, state money was spent
for such purposes more than rs years
ago. Kentucky paid out over $1,000
600 for road improvements between
1920 and 1910 under the direction Of a
state highway engineer, who drew a
salary Of $1,000 a year, a very large
sum for those days.
The roads built then were "a to 30
feet wide between the bitches. The
surfaces were constructed of broken
stone, and the bottoms were of large
stone wedged together to make what
road builders call a telford foundation.
About 1850 business conditions in the
country became bad and this work
Z stopped. When 1t was resumed In
1908 such a long period had elapsed
since the earlier state aid work that
1908 Is usually fixed as the beginning
Of state road work in Kentucky.

MISUNDERSTANDING

TN PARIS, when our soldier boys
OF the great city, 1t was common to
meet an American girl taking a
bunch of the boys through one or
the other Of the museums that make
part of its glories. They made these
trips interesting by telling stories
about many of the famous pictures and
statues.
Anna Curtis Chandler is doing some
thing of the same sort In her Sunday
Story Hour for children in the Metro
pOlitan museum In New York city. She
confines her work to the lecture hall,
however, and illustrates what she says
with stereopticon slides. But there
is IN idea here that might be carried
out in many of our smaller cities and
towns. There are often excellent lit
tie museums in such towns whose con-
tents, IL they were brought to the at
tention of the young people, and the
older ones, too, would add immensely
to the appreciation and understanding
of art and beauty in n community, as
well as to the knowledge of the his
tory Of art. A clever girl who wished
to do this sort of work would have to
take a course In art history. She
would need to understand the different
periods, to know the masters. She
would be able 10 find much interest
ing material on which to build her
stories, much human interest, too.
Working with the cooperation Of the
curator, and advertising her talks in
a way that would attract her fellow
townsmen, she might make n real sue
cess Of this now llttle-worked form Of
misunderstanding.

Popular Styles Of Tire Boots.

through the opening. Some Of these
are made with flaps which are Sc
cured under the rim Of the wheel as
the tire is applied. This is the type
most generally used. Another kind of
inner patch is n which is laced on
or fastened around the tube and pre-
vents any bulge or contact with the
fractured casing. The type Of boot
that is applied on the inside Of the
tire does not prevent the entrance of
water and sand, and this 500 Injuries

old castings make serviceable blowout
patches when the bead Is removed and
the edges are thinned down.
In times of emergency a towel can
be pressed into service as a blowout
