Eggs Taken From Snake

A story of chicken eggs
Matched after they had been
salvaged from the interior of a
python is told by the publicity
department of the board of mis-
sions of the Methodist Episco-
pal church, in New York city.
Quoting Rev. Edwin H. Rich
ards, for 81 years a missionary
in Africa, the board said that
a python had wriggled out. of a
jungle one night. entered hen
house and eaten eight chickens
and nine eggs. Natives and mis-
sionaries killed the snake, which
then was opened. The eggs,
found intact, later Matched into
perfectly normal missionary
chickens.

Continually Review Police"
There is something else, gentle
men. There is another force which
is called the chezheit rolitze. That
is also a police force. 1t includes
100000 men. These are enlisted
men. The force is composed al
most exclusively of regulars, Off
GERS and noncommissioned Off

officers ready tc undergo new per-

manded dissolution of this force, but
what happened2 The chezheit po-,
'ltze disappeared, but another came
in its place-schuntz polite; but it
was just the same. That included
100000 men. So that instead of its
being local police force, it became
general police force at the dispo-
sal of the central government, that
could be used anywhere on German
territory; so that we come to a to-
tai of 250,000 men, and enough men
that are real officers, ready to mar
shal the troops who are training,
to be ready instantly in case of war.
These men are constantly watched
by the government.
The government keeps them un-
der their hands. These 100000 men

together, in this marvelously ingen-
uous way which the German people
always have when they want to
achieve their purposes. They are
called frei corps, for former conf

Any day, any anriiversary-and
Germans are rather fond Of an an

Hartiigan To Auction Off

One of the oldest drug store stands in the city, if not possibly the oldest, will be discontinued Sunday evening when the doors of the J. D.

This store has been operated for nearly eight years as one of the Hartigan chain of storess and pre- viotIS to that time, ever since the Warner building was built, was known for 25 years as the Dupee Drug Store.

 The stock, prescription department and records will be transferred to the Hartigan store at the corner of Main and Congress streets, while on Tues day an auction sale of fixtures and equipment will be held at the Fair field avenue location. The store at Congress and Main was but recently equipped with modern fixtures, as is the Fairfield avenue store, making sale necessary.

I 1igh School Graduates - One Of Largest Classes;
 Barnum Prize Awards

Three hundred and nine happy graduates received their diplomas last night in the high school auditorium which was festooned with streamers of black and orange, the class colors. Relatives, friends and many guests crowded the hall to it's capacity as they listened to one of the finest pro- grams prepared at Commencement time.
 The Seniors were all seated on the platform in seats arranged in tiers. The girls were immacuately attired in sensible middy blouses with black ties and white skirts. The young men of the class attired in black suits formed the class numerals '"21'', form ing a sharp contrast to the white middies of the young women.
 In the front circle sat Superintend- ent Samuel J. Slawson, Col. Elmer Ravens, president of the Board of Education. former principals, Henry D. Simonds and Arthur Lee together with the five Barnum prize speakers.
 The judges for the Barnum prize contest were: Rev. Alexander J. Ali son. Rev. Joseph J. Gan1ey, and Miss Ruby Burritt who is president of the College club in this city. The first prize was awarded to Alexander Greenspun who used "The Power of the Spoken Word" as his bject. Miss Alma x Rosen captured second honors, using Leaders of American Thought as her topic.

 Terrible Heat

Brilliant rays of warm sunshine and cool northwest winds extended hearty greetings to Bridgeport this morning as the city emerged from its stupor that followed 4S hours of excessive humidity and the severe tropical storm of early last night. Weather forecasts were encouraging and fore told clear skies with no prospects of another storm, as well as continued cooling breezeS.
 The tropical electric storm of early last evening was the severest of the season. Bridgeport did not receive the full force of the disturbance, and yet considerable property damage was inflicted by the exceptionally sharp snake Tightening.
 One of the first places to be struck was the Lincoln School On Stratford avenue. A blot of lightning crashed against one Of the cement chimneys cracking it in two.

Miss Partree Made

Reject Plan On Blanket
 Insurance

Proposed plans for an insurance system whereby all members of the Bridgeport police department would be protected by a blanket policy, were definitely rejected yesterday after noon at a meeting of the local branch of the State Police association The report of the committee, which had been appointed to inestigate the in surance proposition, was received with great interest, and the committee was dismissed after the scheme had been counted out by a big vote.
 In place of the blanket insurance system the police will continue their mutual benefit plan which is now in force. This arrangement calls for a contribution from each member of of fellow policeman. The system has worked out to advantage in the past and is considered more practical than straight insurance. The amount of the sum donated by each man however, will be increased in order approximately $1,000
 The rejection of the insurance plan was undoubtedly brought about by the fact that many policemen are car rying private policies, and see no need of additional straight insurance
 In addition to disposing Of the in surance business, the policemen elect ed the following delegates to attend the annual convention of the state as sociatien, which will be held in Wa terbury, July IA: Joseph T. Coughlin, chairman, Robert Tate, John Barton, L. Mendelson, Thomas Connery, Frank Suponski, Thomas Meehan, John Brennan, D. Reilly. James G1ennon, John Lynch and George Simons.
