State and County News

Thieves Now Taking Drivers Licenses
 Within the past few weeks an un- usually large number of thefts of operators licenses and registration cards throughout the state have been reported to the state motor vehicle department. "There seems to be an epidemic of these thefts", was the statement made by Deputy Motor Vehicle commissioner John A. Mac Donald. The licenses and the cards were stolen from cars and from pockets of coats left in the cars.
 MT. Macdonald thinks it is possible in some instances to trace the thefts to whiskey runners whose licenses and registrations were revoked. The attention of the motor vehicle de- partment was first directed to the thefts by the increase in the number of applications which have been re- eeived for duplicate licenses and for registration cards. The state police department will be notified of the thefts and special steps will be taken to suppress the practice.

HOUSATONIC VALLEY ROAD
Effort Being Made to Enlist Federal
 Governments Aid

Irving B. Holley of the firm of Mascetti & Holley, and Charles E. Price of New Haven, representative of the Portland Cement Association, were in town Monday to discuss with local people the proposed highway between New Milford and this town. MT. Price is trying to have the state construct the road of concrete, be- lieving it will be much cheaper than macadam in the end.
 Mir. Price stated that an effort was being made to make this highway federal aid road. If this is done, the federal government would pay half the cost and the state the re- maining half. If such aid can be obtained from the federal govern ment it would seem the road should be constructed of concrete.

Says Dry Law Has Broken Morale

Former Governor Holcomb, while urging strict enforcement of the Vol stead act, because it is the law, says it's unpopularity has created a uni versal disregard for the law. He de- clares that it "has broken our mo- rale" and does not like the condition to which it has led.
 The former governor expressed these views in New Haven Monday night at the dinner given by the Sec ond Company, Governors Foot Guard, to the Richmond Blues. He said in part
 Our ancestors have given US a heritage; it remains to us to prove equal to it. The times are serious with strikes and idleness. The Vol stead act has led to a condition I do not like; it has broken our morale it's unpopularity has created a uni versal disregard for law---an un- willingness to obey the law. Disre- gard of the law is not the way to look at it. We should back it up be- cause it is the law; until, if it is not good law, it can be repealed"

CRIMINAL CASES
Ts Be Tried Only in Litchfeld In
 Accordance With New Law

In accordance with bill passed at the last session of the legislature and approved, June 24, there will be no more sessions of the criminal su Derior court in Winsted or New Mil ford
 The act as passed reads:
 "Terms and sessions of the super!- Or court for the transaction of crin- inal business, shall be held at Litch- field county at Litchfield on the sec ond Tuesday in January and the first Tuesday in May and October.
 'Terms and sessions of the superi- or court for the transaction of civil business only, shall be held in Litch- field county at Winchester (Win- sted) on the first Tuesday in Febru- ary and on the second Tuesday of November, which term and session shall continue provided tfere IS su1ti- cient business to be transacted until the Friday preceding the 18th day of December at New Milford and on the first Tuesday of April, which term and session shall continue provided there is sufficient business to be transacted until the last Friday in June."
 The expense and trouble involved in bringing prisoners from Litcnfeld to Winsted or New Milford, from the jail in Litchfeld was the principal reason assigned for framing the measure.

AUTUMN.

By Sam J. Banks The Autumn in New England is a precious time to me; The gorgeous tints on trees and
 plants are glorious to see; The land is steeped in silver haze that's charming to behold While noble naples, oaks and clms
 turn crimson, russet, gold. Great seas of ferns unto themselves
 take hues both rich and rare--- As if they'd captured, from the sun,
 some of it's golden glare. I love to look up to the hills, or o'er the meadowland; Along the Open Road I go, with
 Nature hand in hand Commune I with Her in the wood, or
 by the winding brook; I realize I walk with God; some
 times l read a book; And yes, sometimes dare to write
 as 1 am doing now But only when thoughts come to me-
 as wind sprites kiss ones brow. Whole days l spend in tramping,
 gladly viewing Natures show; l wander aimlessly about; care not
 where 1 go; l only wish to satisfy the poet that's
 in me,
 And in my heart I thank the Lord for
 poet-eyes to see.

DYNAMITE IN COAL
N. w. Blodgett Finds Two Sticks
 When Unloading Car

While unloading coal for the rail road company in the yards here Mon dav, N. w. Blodgett threw off what he supposed were fusees. Upon closer examination, however, they proved to be two sticks of dynamite. Had they exploded MT. Blodgett would undoubtedly have been seri- ously injured, if not killed outright.
 Where the dynamite came from will probably always remain a mys- tery. It is thought by railroad men that the explosive was accidentally placed in the car at the mines, where it remained until unloaded here.

No Democrats Vote in Orange

An unusual record is claimed by the town of Orange as the outcome of the "little town elections" early this month. The ballot for all otfi- cers revealed that no democrat had voted as such in Orange and on no question on which decisIon was made did any one vote in opposition to the republicans.
 Town history in Connecticut is not believed to show anything quite like this. In many towns, from time to time, the minority vote had been very small but 10 town meet ing is recalled where all were agreed. The voting strength was 154
