EPIDEMIC OF DRUNK
CASES in MERIDEN
Three Times More Arrests in July
Than Average for IS Months

Meriden, Aug. 1.-The number o.
arrests in Meriden for intoxicatior
during the month of July was more
than three times as great as the
monthly average for such arrests dur
Ing the last year and half, and was
considerably larger than the number
of arrests for intoxication in May,
1917, the month after the United
States entered the war, and before the
prohibition law went into effect. The
number of arrests for violation of the
prohibition law In Meriden during the
month of July was more than five
times as great as the monthly aver
age of such arrests for the last year
and a half.
These are startling statements but
the facts were CLEANED from the po-
lice blotter. The total number of ar
rests during the month just ended was
121. This number is considerably
larger than the highest record for any
monthly average for 1922 and two
and half times as large as the aver
age for the first six months of this
year.
Record for 10 Years.
The police blotter now in use was
started in December, 1918. In that
book is record of every arrest made
by the Meriden police in nearly ten
years. Previous to July of this year,
there were but three months in all
that time in which the number of ar
rests was as many as 100. Two of
those months were May and June.
1917. before the prohibition amend
nent was passed, and just after the
United States entered the world war.
Has Worst Record.
The number of arrests made In
those months for intoxication, or other
complaints involving intoxication were
36 in May and 81 in June. The total
number of arrests for those two
months were 1o5 and 1o6. respective
ly Last month there were 121 ar |
rests and 4s Of those were for intox-
ication, either alone or combined with
other offenses. Thus 1t will be seen
that in the matter of liquor violations,
July of this year had a worse record !
than the. record month of pre-vol-
stead days.
The 46 cases involving intoxication
last month are divided as follows:
Plain intoxication. 80; assault, intoxi-
cation and resistance, I assault and
1; intoxication and
breach of the peace, 1; intoxication
and vagrancy 1; intoxication and in
jury to property S, and driving whAe1

MISSING STUDENTS
in Maine LOCATED
Mt. Katahdin Climbers Found--ln
Good Physical Condition

Lewiston, Me-, Aug. 1.-Alfred
Merriam, Jr.. of New York, and his
chum, CASTOR Dallendsch of Swift
| erand, who lost their way on Mount
| Katahdin last Wednesday were found
huddled together near the monument
of stones at the highest peak of the
mountain yesterday by Guides Eu-
gene York and Abol Cook. The boys
seemed mentally alert and their phys
ical condition was good, considering
that their food for six days had con-
sisted chiefly of wild berries
The two young men were mem
bers of party of Ave who left Sebec
lake last Wednesday to scale the
mountain. When part way up they
went in advance OF the others, who
could not find them again.
They lost their way on the north
side of the mountain and were I'M
able to find the trail. I'm the belief
that searching parties would first
visit the summit they made the as
cent under great difficulties by way
hitherto UNEMPLOYED by mountain
climbers. Their feet and hands were
cut and bruised by sharp rocks and
their clothing torn by the underbrush.
After the guides had given them
food and coffee the party started |
down the mountainside for hike
of ten miles to a camp where they !
were to remain over night. This
morning they will walk eight miles
through the woods to the Sourdna-
hunk road where they will be met by
an automobile and conveyed to Ripo-
genus where the Merriam boys father
and mother are located.
More than hundred men had en-
gagged In the search for the two
youths. Merriam is a. junior at Har-
ward university and Dallendsch plans
to enter Columbia university this fall.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

! compunction about taking the bread
! out of mothers mouth and the
| clothes off her back. He or she was
| too temperamental to work. 1t was
! easier to work mother than TO
| knuckle down to a hard job. He or
| she was too self-indulgent to deny
himself or herself the pleasures that
| tempted, and so he or she got into
debt and mother had to pay the
piper. He or she could not stand
the gaff of matrimony and came run
ming back home to mother, generally
with two or three children for
mother to support.
And mother lacked the vertebrae
to stand up, and shut the door in
their faces, and tell them that they
must fight their own battles, and that
they owed it to their own manhood
and womanhood to stand alone and
carve out their own fortunes, and not
to be beholden to any one for their
livelihood.
OF course, you see the mothers
point of view, and how she justifies
her weakness. How can I deny my
child shelter when he has no roof
over his head? How can / refuse
him food when he is hungry? What
will become of him if he cannot be
sure of finding sanctuary with his
mother?' she asks.
Well, what would become of him
nine times out of ten is that he would
have to go to work, and he would
make an honest, industrious man,
instead of becoming a worthless loaf
er. There is no incentive to industry
| no
not work, neither will be eat, and
that if he doesn't stick to his job,
he will spend his nights on park
bench instead of in a bed.
l. There are thousands of boys and
girls who are born with that tired
| feeling that makes them hate the
/ very sight of anything that looks
like steady employment. They have
no ambition to achieve anything ex-
cept the pleasure of the moment.
Their energy runs to jazz dancing.
Their. only serious desire is for good
time and good clothes, and they will
never do anything or amount sot
row of pins while mother lets them
sponge on her.
AS long as they can hold up moth
er for three square meals a day and
COIllIOIIdDlS lOuSlHS Cuey Will never
work, and the very salvation of their
souls depends on mothers having the
nerve to chuck them out and tell
them that they have got to earn their
own bread and butter, or go without
it.
1t is mother who is accessory be-
fore the crime for nine-tenths of the
gangsters and the girls who walk the
streets. She could have made them
decent, honest citizens if she had
taught them to earn their living in
stead of grating it.
No woman need fear that she is
working a hardship on her children
when she forces them to become self
supporting. The parasite is never
happy because he or she is bound to
be liar and sycophant.
1t is only the men and women who
earn their own living and pay their
own way who are free and content
ed and self-respecting.
Therefore, [ say to every mother:
Follow the examples OF the birds.
Throw your young out of the nest
and make them use their own wings.

IidH IudL VI now TO zeal WITH graft
ing child. 1t is a situation that
calls for so much grit and backbone
that most women just throw up then
hands and quit when they are con-
fronted with it. Mother love and
tenderness, mother fears and appre-
tensions, the mother habit of self
sacrifice, make them take the line
of least resistance, and permit them
selves to be the victims of their lazy
and selfish sons and daughters.
They lack the wisdom and the
courage of the sparrow that builds
it's nest under their windows, and
who pushes her young out of the
nest when the proper time comes for
them to use their own wings and
hustle for their own worms. The
human mother with a brain many
thousand times bigger than the
birds has not sense enough to see
that, just as it is a mothers duty to
warm and nourish her fiedgling, it is
equally her duty to throw them Off
on their own when they are old
enough and strong enough to stand
alone.
There are few more contemplate
creatures in the world than the
parasitic child. The very depths OF
meanness and greediness has been
sounded by the man and woman
who, in lusty youth and strength,
are willing to rob their poor old
mother; to deprive her of the com"
forts that she should have in her
old age, and lay upon her frail shout
ders the burden of their worthless
ness.
We have all seen the tragedy Of
the dead-beat children. A woman,
working such miracles Of finance as
only mothers. can work, has brought
up a family on a" shoestring income.
God only knows by what labor, by
what struggle, by what self-denlaI
she has got them educated and held
them in a decent place in society.
When her soul tainted within her
with WEAKNESS Of the sordid strug-
gle, she heartened herself by think.
ing that as soon as the children
were on their own feet, she would
be able to take life easier and in
dulge herself in a few of the COM
forts she craved.
Perhaps some of the children JUS
titled her hopes. But there was

lose sight of it for the time. Often,
again and again, she must have
thought of it during the eighteen
years that followed when He was

had no intimation of His relation

How intimate her relationship to
Him, however, and how full she trust
ed Him is shown by her words at
the wedding of John; if John was
the wedding Of John; if John was
her nephew it is easy to see how she
could be concerned about the provi-
sions giving out. His word to her
was all tenderness. What He said
was, Don't you worry, little woman,
leave that all to me; l will attend to
it at the right time" And her word
Ito the servants showed how she Hn-
derstood Him, for she said to them,
whatsoever He saith unto you, do

She wanted to protect Him when
she and His brethren came 1t was
the anxiety of mothers heart when
she thought her loved son was work
ing too hard. Nor did she take any
exception to His statement made at
that time that the new relationship
| was wider and stronger than blood

The Romanists call her "Our Lady

sorrows that she endured. Truly
she was a woman of sorrows and ac-
| quainted with grief like her Son.
| Some have already been mentioned.
| She must have suffered great agony

lose Him even temporarily is agony.
1t was undoubtedly a great source
| of sorrow to her when she realized
the hatred that was growing against
! the Son of her love. But her agony
at the cross was extreme. She was
in the crowd, though not one of
them, that cried out cruelty Him,
and every cry was a sword thrust
into her mother heart. She fol-
| lowed Him to Calvary. Tradition
says she tainted when she saw Him
| sink beneath the weight of the cross.
Oh, mothers, can you imagine how
she felt when she heard the cruel
nails tearing through His flesh?
| How her own heart bled as she saw
Him hanging stripped before the
| gaping crowd, crucified as a crimi-
nal? How she ached when she saw
His head droop forward, and how
she wanted to do something to cool
His parched lips, but couldn't? One
Of the greatest of agonies is to see
one you love suffer and not be
able to do anything for Ann or her.
Mary suffered in the extreme. Yes
she was a woman of sorrows.
Perhaps her most wonderful trait
was her silence. Through the thir
ty years, through the three years
through that awful day at Golgotha
not one word of complaint or OF
doubt.
We last see her in the upper
room waiting for the promise of the
spirit She was one of the 120 upor
whom the spirit name at Penticost
and who can tell how many of tn5
5000 born into the kingdom that
day were the result of her testi
mony.

Cordially,
Mrs. w. J. R.:
| Here is one of the best receipts
know about for cucumber pickles
(ripe cucumbers). Whether they
will retain their bright color I am
unable to say. l have seen this
recipe used when they did, but one
set that L saw picked under it lost
little of the greenness. The recipe
is from the Boston COoking2School
cook book.
Cut cucumbers in halves length
wise. Cover with alum water, al
lowing two teaspoons powdered
alum to each quart of water. Heat
gradually to boiling point, let stand
on back of range two hours. Re
move from alum water and chill on
ice water Cor very cold spring wa
teri. Make syrup by boiling five
minutes two pounds of sugar, one
pint of vinegar, with two table
spoons each of whole cloves, and
stick cinnamon tied in a piece of
muslin. Add cucumbers and cook
ten minutes. Remove cucumbers to
stone jar, and pour over syrup.
Scald syrup three successive morn
ings, and return to cucumbers."
We have very successfully gotten
rid of ants by the simple process of
mixing sugar and borax together
and sprinkling around the base
/ board in kitchen and pantry, and in
the crevices where they travel.
NJ. r. b:
I think this is the egg custard
you desire.
2 cups scalded milk, IA cup of
sugar. Il like full cup)
Yolk three eggs, Is teaspoon salt,
teaspoon of vanilla.
Beat eggs slightly, add sugar and
salt: stir constantly while adding
gradually hot milk Cook in double
boiler, continue stirring until mix
. ture thickens and a coating is form
ed on the spoon, strain Immediately,
chill and flavor. If eggs are scarce
use yolk of two eggs and one-half
tablespoon corn starch, the latter
mixed with enough cold water to
make a smooth thin paste Be care
full to add this slowly and to keep
string. You can add either a small
square of chocolate melted, or suffi-
clent cocoa to give the desired choco-
late color and flavor. When this is
done increase the amount of vanilla
to two teaspoons and the sugar to
another half cup.
