FOR SHIP SUBSIDY
Harding Points Big Saving to
Nation.

A. the call of President Harding,
congress- convened in special session
November 20, and on the following
day the president read his message
uruing the enactment or snip
subsidy law designed to relieve tne
government from the present heavy
H,ancial burden and save the Ameri :
can merchant marine left by the war.
It is pointed out that the ships
cost the government SO, 600, 600, 600 TO
hr,ld that the cost of maintenance
was 5000, 100000 year when the
nresent administration went 10, and
that since then the amount, which is
a loss to the government, has been
reduced to the present sum OF SOU,
OO0 600 year. The problem is one
left by the war, and the president
asks that it be met and solved. His
plan is TO sell the ships to American
companies on easy terms and by
extending aid in the form of subsidy
enable them to maintain their fleets
and eventually pay back to the
government the money advanced. lie
estimates that the cost of this plan TO
the government would not reacn
$40, 900, 900 year, which be compares
with the annual authorization OF
SIS, 1000, 900 federal aid for highways.
The president challenged every
inslnuation Of favored interests and
the enriching OF a special few at the
expense OF the public treasury and
asserted that the legislation automat-
ically guarded against the enrichment
or perpetual bestowal.

DROVE GYPSY BAND
OUT OF JEwETr CITY

!
 Special to The F'''FletiH.)
 Jewett City, July .le-~ onstabie John T. Dolan had several e.teresting eneeun- ters with a band of gypsies, seven auto mobile loads, which arrived here today, and finally ended matters by seeing them out of town. The gypsies, after arriving, began searching for business, and entered local drug store, performing several sleight of hand tricks. and continuing their tricks until the proprietor became suspicious. Constable Delan was notified and warned them out of town, the gypsies agreeing to go.
 Not long afterwards more complaints were received and Constable Dolan found the gypsies in another section of the bor- ough. One gypsy woman was reading the palm of local man who was sitting near a well in his yard Constable Dolan warn ed her to leave town, and she started. He then asked the man v he had any money with him, and the man said that he had. it being wrapped up in handker- chief. The officers tip caused the man te look for the money, which as was believed along with the handkerchief had disap- psared. Constable Doaan found the wom- an and asked her what she was going te do about the money. The gypsy woman undaunted. said: well. if he wants his money, here 1t is"
 AS the man made no complaint, the gypsies were started out of here and met by Deputy Sheriff Frank Tiilinghast oi Moosup, who saw that they were watched over the state line into Rhode Island
 It is believed that the gypsies are th' same band that escaped trouble at Willi mantle and Norwich last week, when two store proprietors lost money.
