YOUTH BADLY HURT
 WHEN AUTO SKIDS.
New Haven Lad Is Killed in ACCi-
 dent at YaleSYile

Meriden, Aug, 1s.-John Clary, 1b, of 33 Maltby street, New Haven, died at the local hospitat at a:3o o'clock last night from internal injuries re- eeived yesterday morning when an auto in which he was riding skidded and crashed into pile of tar on the curve leading under the Yalesville railroad culvert
 The youth, with a companion, left his home early in the day and was taking a trip on the state highway by getting free rides with passing motor ists, a popular summertime diversion. Adolph Mittau of Hartford was pro ceeding toward New Haven and had given the lad lift"
 As the car rounded the sharp curve near the culvert, 1t skidded few feet from the road and hit pile of mixed tar used for repairs by the highway department. The Clary boy was not thrown from the auto, it is under stood, but received his injuries by be- ing hurled against the side of the ma chine.
 Special Officer Ernest Richmond happened to be passing the scene at the time and made an investigation, report on which was given Medical Examiner Dr. F. T. Bradstreet. Fred Lacourciere Of J. Lacourctere and company carried the boy in his auto to the local hospital.
 Drs. F. w. and D. P. Smith found that the boy was gravely injured ana operated in the hope of saving ms life. The operation showed a badly ruptured liver, a result of the impact against the youths side. Little hope was given for a recovery under the and death came about e:3o o'clock.
 Tn reporting the accident to the walingford police, Mir. Mittau said that he was driving slowly at the time of the accident and that he did not think the boy was seriously hurt. Dr' Bradstreet reported the death to Deputy Coroner Wynne, who Will make his official investigation Of the fatality today.

KING MAKES SPEECH
British Crown Head Generally Hav-
 ing Them Written For Him By

London, Aug. ls.--so many of King Georges speeches are written for him by his ministers, as all the world knows. that he never gets credit for the good speeches he thinks up him self People always say: "The speech was all right but some one else wrote 1t for him.
 This is not always true. In every thing that relates 10 affairs Of state he speaks only through the mouths Of his responsible ministers, and the Speech from the throne,' delivered when Parliament shuts down. Is far from a thrilling production. And 1t is not his.
 But King George made a really good address the other day In London at the opening of the fine new build ing of the London County Council. He dwelt upon the wisdom Of the men of past ages in erecting fine buildings in their cities, and drew a picture of the necessity of the vested authority being adequately housed; an authority meanly housed would be meanly esteemed. It would be dif- ficult to emphasize too strongly the importance of efficient local govern ment to the general well-being of the country, the king said, and the hand some edif1ce of the London County Council should stimulate the develop ment of that sense of citizenship so difficult and yet 50 imperative to cultivate.
 His majesty undoubtedly wrote this speech himself, and it has been most favora bly commented upon; never theless he Is getting little credit for 1t. The world thinks it Is the product of some minister whose mouthpiece was King George.

ELEPHANT GOES ON A STRIKE AT ZOO
Refuses tO Be Bridled for Rides
 and Becomes Lazy

London, Aug is,--A big female In dian elephant that went on strike al the zoo last spring and refused 10 dc what all big elephants at the zoo are required to do-errn money by carry ing children around on her hack-has been cured of the sulks and laziness by the seeming magic treatment of an Indian mahout.
 She was presented 10 the zoo by the Maharalah Of Cooch Behar, two years ago She had been well train cd and acted at all times like a sensi- ble well behaved elephant and obeyed orders properly. She developed no vices beyond that of picking pockets for edible danties. But every ele- phant that has any sense at all, learns to do that in the zoo.
 Becomes Lazy
 Then she took 1t into her big head that she would not submit to being bossed any longer. She declined to stand between the new riding steps that had been fixed up for the con venience of juvenile elephant riders When the old wooden steps were sub stituted for the new ones she proved equally obdurate. In the end she de- clined to leave the elephant yard at all.
 AS the elephant Is a fine animal, and quite good tempered, 1t was de- cided to obtain a mahout from India He was cabled for, and arrived in due course He was taken to the ele- plant house. He at once entered the enclosure and formally saluted the animal, standing first at her head and then at her tail. Next he took off his shoes, and knotted a rope loosely around the elephants neck, which he afterward used as kind of stirrup.
 Is Controlled
 With little difficulty he persuaded her to kneel and mounted her neck In less than two minutes, soothing, batting and talking volubly to her in Hindustani, he had got on good terms with the animal. Then he took her round to the elephant ride. and ap- parently had her In complete control.
 Phrases of his admonitions, freely translated, were as follows: T am told that you eat your food. and will not work; it is wrong; Allah enioins on us all that we must work if we would eaa You are cheating your masters, and 1t Is unworthy of you. I am only a black man, and you must not mind me. Put fear out of your mind take 1t up from your heart and throw it out"
New Britain herald., 1922-08-18

The elephant certainly seemed 10 understand. and now oheys every or der The mahout was given quarters in another part of the gardens, but he obtained leave to sleep in the elephant house, as he says that he wishes to talk to the elephant during the night He has not yet tried 10 saddle her. as he wants 10 take things slowly, but he is confident he will conquer all her fears and make her permanently obedient

Make The Town
A Cleaner One

"Make the town Il Cleaner one"
seems to be the slogan inaugur-
ated by the pupils of the Glen
mora High School, judging by
the placards posted all over town
the past several days.
This is a move along the right
line and should be taken up by
every citizen in Glenlnora. On
our main street paper and other
rubbish are deliberately t hlo
.on the streets and side walks,
possibly unthoughtedly, b u t
nevertheless thrown th0re.
Now, The Patriot wishes 10 Of
fer sUggestion-Let very
business house on our main
street place a trash box on the
sidewalk, then let every passer-
by throw their trash in the box,
the garbage man can then haul
it away, Every body make it a
point to keep t h e III premises
clean, we will then have clean
town.
