MASKED MEN ROB AGED
 STONINGTON COUPLE OF s2.oot


 Two masked robbers entered the home of Mir. and Mrs. Jerry Bordeau- in Ston- ington week ago Tuesday and robbed the house of s1,600 in cash and s400 in Liberty bonds, but the Bordeau family made no report of it to the authorities until Thursday of this week.
 MT. and Mrs. Bordeau did not report the robbery to the officials in the hope that they would be able to discover the robbers themselves. They, however, confided to friends this week and they were advised to report it to the authori- ties. The robbery was reported to Dep uty Sheriff William H. Casey and through him to Sheriff Sidney A. Brown Thursday morning.
 The Bordeau house Is on the Mystic road about mile and half from West erly over HincNley hill.
 On the morning of the robbery Bor- deau went to funeral, leaving the house shortly after S.S0 and he had been gone only minute or two when two men came out of the cellar into the kitchen where Mrs. Bordeau was at breakfast and held her up. Both the men had or 1 masks cut out of cloth. which completely ! covered their faces, and long linen dust CTS.
 ] While on the men, the smaller of the : two in stature, covered Mrs Bordeau with gun, the other went into the room leading out of the kitchen, ransacked 2 1 trunk and took the money and LibertS bonds. The money was in bills of yari ous denominations and there were fou i $100 Liberty bonds.
 l After robbing the house the men ven out through rear window, from whicl i they removed screen and with warn i ing to Mrs. Bordeau not to move for { half hour, they vanished into the wood, i in the rear of the house.
 Mrs. Bordeau who is an elderly woman f was so frightened that she made no out cry and it was several minutes befor, | she regained her composure. Then sh went upstairs and looked out of a win | down. At considerable distance sb saw two men but they had neither mask l nor clusters on and both wore gray can While the robbers had worn no caps. short time later she heard an automobi on the road some distance below he house and it is presumed that the mel l after vanishing in the woods double back to the road where an automobil was waiting in which they made thei ! escape.
 :, The money represents practically tn entire wealth of MT. and Mrs. BordeaI I It was savings of a lifetime. Bacaus of his advanced years Mir. Bordeau is un able to work and he and his wife live almost entirely upon pensions whic they received from the deaths of tw sons who were Killed in the Spanisf American and World wars.

one mile, because that railroad made every possible effort to conserve the lives and limbs of the passengers car ried and in those efforts the passengers readily joined, there is no doubt that the same results can be accomplished through the Careful Crossing Cam paign, in connection with railroad high way grade crossing accidents. The rail roads are just as interested and as anx- ious to save lives and limbs of those who use such crossings as they were and are to save the lives and limbs of employees, passengers and patrons, but the railroads cannot accomplish these results alone.
 Railroad men generally, engineers hremen and crossing fagmen in partic- ular, will do their full part, but if we are to be successful. it is absolutely ne cessary that the drivers of automobiles teams and pedestrians, as well, do theil full part and respond heartily with co. operation and effort. If this be done success will surely come, and we will al rejoice in knowing that We took an ac tive part in that great campaign of life and limb conservation reflected in tn, Careful Crossing Campaign"

E. PERCY ARMSTRONG FOR
A. l.. STATE COM


 Waterbury is to have the state con vention of the American Legion this year. and when-it is concluded there is every likelihood that the Brass City will have the state commander of the legion, While politics are coming for most attention at the present time, mem bers of the legion both locally and about the state are giving considerable thought to possible timber for the state officers of the legion, and one of the can didates most favorably spoken of to head the Connecticut department is one other than Commander Eugene Percy Armstrong, formerly of Norwich, this state.
 officers of other posts about the state look on Captain Armstrong as splen- did man for the job and undeniably there is boom started fayoring his candidacy The Corporal CoyEe post under his leadership has grown 70 be the largest in the state and financially is the most fiourishing. The local post is one of the few posts in the state which has paid it's full quota to the state relief fund, and departmental head quarters.
 It leads all others in money spent tc relieve the unemployment situation and during the past winter paid greater amount for taking care of the needy ex' service men and their families than anS other post in the state. Commanders all over Connecticut look upon the loca organization as the most hve-wire post in the state, and it is these men in par ticular. and not local men, who are pulling for Captain Armstrong for state commander. Waterbury with its larg' membership has q corresponding mum Der of delegates to the state convention and there is every likelihood that Cap tain Armstrong will be a strong contend CT for head of the legion in the Nutmeg state.-Waterbury Democrat.
