As the expression goes. Putnam s streets are all dolled up,' by which popular phrase is meant that there are numerous and sundry freshly painted white safety lanes from sidewalk to sidewalk in the down town section and shorter white lines, running into the street five feet or so at an angle from the curb stones. These latter are stalls" for the parking of automo- piles. It is hoped that by people leav- ing their cars within a "stall, v park ing space will be conserved and there fore more machines may be left on the main streets. The safety lanes and automobile stalls" were painted under the direction of Captain of Po- lice Delage by local painters, who worked nights. after all traffic was ever for the day Pedestrians are urg- ed to use the safety lanes in crossing down town streets, for their own safe ers

ELUDES HIS GUARDS
 AT REFORM SCHOOL

Joseph Cayer of Putnam, the youth that recently confscated the automo- bile of a local garage and landed in the hands of Massachusetts police af- ter 2s-mile joy ride. and who last week was sent Go the reform school to remain during minority, apparently did not warm up to the idea of con- iinement Co this state institution, for on Monday he took French leave.
 Joseph hopped off a motor truck at Bloomfield. the driver having given him lift" not suspecting that he was fugitive from the reform school. And when Joseph did that hopping stunt, he collided with one Deputy Sheriff Barnard, who had been on the look for small chap like him.
 Asked where he came from, Joseph replied Putnam" He was then quer- led if he knew anyone down there. to which the boy replied, Sure do. Captain of Police Delage is a great friend of mine. If you don't believe it, call him up
 Sheriff Bernard took the youth at his word and called Captain Delage. An interesting conversation ensued. as a result of which Joseph confessed to the sheriff that his address was no longer Putnam, but the reform school. So the lad was taken ''home." How he eluded those who had him in charge at the school is not known here.
