Observations of Oldest Inhabitant

The world seemed better back in the days when smothers used to take kids on their knees to teach 'em right from wrong and then to lay 'em over their knees to impress the lesson upon 'em, than it does these days when knees only seem to be used to mark the limit to which silk hosiery and skirts can go.

skilled mechanics from seeking en-
ployment of the railroads.
The governor also addressed let

 This patrolling Is to continue until Saturday night and is put into effect for the purpose of putting a stop. in so Tar as it is physically possible, to the practice of some unsportsmenlike men starting out before April lst on trout fishing expedition The clos ed season does not end until midnight Saturday. and therefore any trout fishing done prior to then is unlaw- ful
 Because April 1 comes on Sunday, the usual number of first day" trout fishermen will not be as heavy as usu- aL But Sunday will find many sports men along the banks of trout brooks or hip deep in the water, angling for the speckled beauties The trout sea- son continues until July 1.

600 MILL WORKERS
 GET PAY ADVANCE

When employees of the Man hasset Manufacturing Co. opened their en- velopes on pay day, they discovered therein slips of paper telling them that effective on Monday of this week they would be working at an increased rate of pay. officials of the concern having decided to voluntarily grant ' per cent advance in pay.
 This increase k the third that the company has made since the upward trend started in cotton textile mills. About October 1 of last year there was an advance of 10 per cent, and on Dec. i. last, there was another boost in pay of per cent.
 The mill has about 600 employees today, and the advance came as pleasant surprise, but none the less welcome, for everybody can use all the extra money that comes their way nowadays.
 Several Kiliingly woolen and wors- ted mills have increased the pay of their employees by l2h per cent, these including the Elmvile mill of the American Wooden Co.,, the Assawaga Co.,, and the Killingly Worsted mills

POLICE TO PATROL
 PUTNAM SPEEDWAY
State Officer, Astride Motor cycle, to Watch Cars Along
 Grove Street
r., Drivers Will Be Politely Urged
 to Tell the Judge

Automobile speeding on Grove ..-,et Putnam boulevard has rsaehed such limits of endurance and .o many vigorous complaints have 6....r registered. that the state police hsye decided to take q decisive hand ;s tbe affair. and at least put heavy .serR weight on the driver who would ba a speed king or plain, ordinary reckless motor car operator
 Too Much Speeding
 Grove street. perhaps Putnam $ most tempting highway for fast au- t,rnobile driving, will have the close se~utiny of the state police at sundry times during the week, but on Satur- Jgv afternoons and Sundays an officer stride a motorcycle will be on duty .'l the time, It is stated that he will ..nacep all automobiles going at . rspid speed, and if he finds that the .ay is being violated, he will arrest inc driver and cause him to be prose cuted in the elty court.
 IL is a common thing to see two cars racing. frequently nose and nose" along Grove street. That there ars any number of side streets, out UI WEIGH OltlfA NasA liAeA9 Hhlf hhAa AtRA seem to matter in the least. The dan ger of such accidents, perhaps result ing disastrously, is not given a mo- ment's thought, apparently. Then there is the eyer present chance of in- turing or killing some child who th0ughtlessly darts into the highway directly into some speeding car, the driyer of which cannot stop because he hasn't his machine under control.
 Warnings Have No Effect
 All these things have been pointed out repeatedly, and the speeding goes on. Arrests have been made and driy- CTS fined And still the recklessness continues. Now the police will give particular attention to the situation. not now and then, but regularly and closely. 1t is stated that mo quarter will be given any offender. no matter what sort of an alib he may offer. The answer to him will be Tell it ta the judge
