YOUTHS VISIT CITY.
POLICE FIND THEM
Putnam Youths, OFF on Frolic,
Are Located In Provi-
dence

Willie Maloney and Donat Houle,
both Putnam boys Of about nine years
each. and whose homes are on Canal
street. decided Tuesday morning TO
visit in Providence rather than so to
school. Having made up their mind,
they carried out their intention
through the aid Of passing truckmen
and motorists. But in the meantime
it was determined that the youths did
not go to school and had disappeared.
The police were asked TO help locate
them and Sergt. Lizard broadcasted
the news to police in neighboring cit
les. The result was that the two
youthful travellers were picked up BY
the Providence police. who notified
the Putnam authorities of their find.
Parents Of the boys were informed
soon, and during the afternoon they
left for the Rhode Island capital city
to bring their children back home.
Upon arriving here. the boys received
a real warm reception-in fact it WAS
an enthusiastic sort Of an affair, and
was in the nature Of reward for
their having gone off without telling
their parents all about their plans.

Woman Was Pirate

A picturesque figure of pirate
times was Mary Reade. one OF the
few women who sailed under the
Jolly Roger
1t was in 1919 that Mary Reade
was in the full tide of her exploits.
She took toll OF numerous ships.
When her crew argued with her she
pistolled them with her own hand
She was an excellent pistol shot,
and neatly killed in a duel rash
pirate who had been foolish enough
TO threaten her lover.
When asked why she followed a
vocation so hazardous, she replied
that "as to hanging, she thought 1t
no great hardship, for were it not for
that every cowardly fellow would
turn pirate and infest the seas, and
men of courage would starve.'
Another woman pirate was Belle
Hammond. During the early part
of the last century, when the French
and British privateers were contin-

Fowler's Booths and Concessions at

FowIer's Booths and Concessions at
the American Legion Carnival in
the Coliseum, Nov. 1910.
E. Norman Fowler, the indoor car
nival promoter. will furnish the
booths and concessions at the Amer
lean Legion Exposition in the Coli
scum. This season Mr.. Fowler is
carrying a carload of paraphenalia,
including twelve large portable booths
of special construction, joined to-
gether with patent fasteners-not
a nail or tack used, blue and gold
paneled fronts. purple satin draperjes
and covers designed specially for
indoor fans and expositions by the
owner.
cessions second to none: Indian
blankets, lamp dolls, Radium silk
pillow tops. flower display of
beautiful baskets loaded with arti-
fetal f1owers-this concession alone
is a feature in itself and many other
novelties that will not be seen On
any other indoor midway this season.
The booths are lighted with myri-
ads of electric lights making the
Monmouth indoor midway look like
a rainbow bursting into a stupendous
food of indescribable gorgeous bril-
liancy and transcendent beauty. 1t
is impossible to paint, a picture of
this display, which will be greater
than anything yet attempted by an
organization in Gardiner. Many new
and delectable novelties will be Of
fered to satisfy amusement seekers.
Mr. Fowler is to be congratulated
on his booths and concessions, for.
if it is possible to paint the lily,
possible to embellish Rembrandt,
it is possible for Fowler to lead them
all to the tape in his line. The big
show opens at the Coliseum Nov. s.
and the boys are assured of success.
Vaudeville at a tremendous cost has
been booked and the big theatre
should be crammed to the guard rail.

ME NC STYLES ESTABLISHED BY
 BRITISH PRINCE
Male Members of Royal Fam fly Continue to Set Fash
 ions for Great Britain

LONDON, Nov 1S.-The male mem bers of the royal family have for generations set the styles for mas culine wear in England, and there fore indirectly for the entire world. This has never been more pronounc- ed than at the present time, and the fashion makers watch with unweary eye for the least change, or the ap- pearance of new style, in the royal garments.
 It was the Prince of Wales who introduced the small checked bow tie, the colored collars, and the fan cy socks so popular a few years ago. Since the Prince first ap- peared wearing a morning coat, soft shirt, and turned over stiff collar, this has been the standard wear for the man-about-tOwn. The Prince is in the habit of wearing his hat, par ticularly the silk variety, slightly tilted, and today old men and young men may be seen with headdress similarly arranged at any time of the day or night on the fashionable thoroughfares of the West End. The latest contribution of the Prince to the fashionable world, how ever, is the dinner suit, or tuxedo, which has generally been avoided by
 the best dressed men as being too I informal for informal occasions, and
 too formal for informal necessities. Few tuXedos have been worn in
 London in the past, as compared
 with their wide use in America and
 they were rarely used for the thea ] tre.
 1 The Prince appeared in one at a
 dinner party before his trip to the
 Far East, and since that time the dinner jacket has made great in
 roads into the popularity of full
 dress attire.
 His Royal Highness appeared few

REAR LIGHT REGULATION NOW; MASSACHUSETTS FIRST STATE

These specifications are

These specifications are:
 The rear lamp and license plate must be together. and in the center c the car.
 The lamp must be directly above the center of the tag.
 The slot from the lamp must be of sufficient size to allow for illumina- tion of the whole tag and must be GOV cred with glass.
 The lamp must be of two candle power and must be such that it will make the number plate visible at a distance of 60 feet. Si E
 Test Made
 These rules were formulated by Al fred w. Devine of the Illuminating Eu gineering Society and approved by Frank A. Goodwin, state registrar of motor vehicles. They were composed after an investigation of. tail-light eff ficiency in several cities.
 Out of 205 cars whose rear lights were tested, only one conformed to the new regulations. In 176 cases the lamp was improperly located, in 124 cases the lamp had defective celluloid or no covering of the lamp slot and ir 97 instances the slot was too small.
 The National Automobile Chamber of Commerce has taken up the Massa chusetts tail-lamp law and has advised manufaN urers to adopt it's proposal: even before the law goes into effect If this advice is followed the law vii have its effects not only within tht state, but throughout the country. Individual states, however, have in terested themselves in this law anC are contemplating following the exam pie of Massachusetts. This is one O the 10 states comprising the Interstat, Conference of Motor Vehicle Commis sioners. which includes the six Nev England states, besides New York Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Mary land.
 It is presumed that this interstat, conference will fall in line with Mas sachusetts and that, later on, othe states will follow.
