RumbIes from Keystone Explosion
Every day in every way more dismal
grows the news
Of Klansman or Bolsheviks or diabol-
ic booze.
Every day in every way we find some
more good crooks,
And the higher priced the hired girl
the rottener she cooks.
Every day in every way do the Off
GERS ask you
If you've seen any cars containing the
villainous home brew.
Every day in every way society cries
down rum
While they have it stored in demijohns
the size of the band boys drum
Every day in every way the liquor
problem grows
Every time we take a drink we lose
a suit of clothes.
Every day in every way Moonshiners
jam the street,
For them to negotiate crossing is an
acrobatic feat
Every day IN every way We know we
are getting worse
Instead of saying prayers at night we
sit around and curse.

whore the sun shines vertically at

of the North Pole. where the fact
that the sun shines through the

tor.
Figure 8 shows tho variations in
the amount OF light and heat re-
ceived juno FL from the equator to
the Pole. The latitude at tho equator
is Q degrees. at the Pole 80 degrees
and that of Philadelphia 40 degrees.
1t is to be noted that the amount in
creases pretty rapidly from tho equa-
tor to latitude 80, then remains near
ly constant to latitude 70 degrees,
and then increases to the Pole. The
Polo receives about 81 per cent more
than the equator. which receives less
than any other point In the northern
hemisphere. There is an increase
from the equator to 4314 degrees then
a slight decrease to SO degrees and
then an increase to tho Pole. The
grees is due to the fact that the long

the lower altitude Of the sun. On

per cent moro than the equator re-
oeives on any day. From May 10 to

STARRY SKIES IN JUNE
~ Professor Barton of the University of

with Jupiter and Saturn in good
position, June is probably the best
month OF the year for observation
of planets. Saturn in Virgo is about
tude star. 1t is little brighter than
the star Spica at A. On June 22
the moon passed Saturn. Farther
south the moon passes over the
planet, providing a very interesting
spectacle. The moon passes the
planet at 236 p. M. By evening it
will lie between Saturn and Spica.
1t is interesting to note that the
moon passes Saturn this month, but
next month, July 10, it passes above
it. Jupiter in Libra can not be mis-
taken, as 1t is the most brilliant
This can be taken as a starting
point, and then Saturn and Spica
are easily identified from their po-
sitions with respect to Jupiter. The
two planets are the most interest
ing ones when seen with telescope.

The star Just south Of Saturn Is 90.

depends upon the observers position.
AS seen from Washington the occu-
lation begins at 9:53 and ends at
1913 eastern standard time. At other
places not too remote the times will
be approximately the same. Tho star
Is OF magnitude A. The brightness
of the moon then will make opera
glasses or a telescope necessary for
the observation. On Juno 20 the
moon occults the slightly brighter
star at s. This begins at 1:17 a. m.

The Seasons.

farthest north Of tho equator. This
event Is taken to mark the begin

meant the hot season of the year,
the hottest day being the middle Of
tho summer, one might easily expect
June 20 to be selected as the middle
Of the summer and not tho begin

us moro light and heat for this rea-
son, and likewise because this also

ing q total of 1876 new laws.
Among tho outstanding measures
enacted IL ono authorizing ratifica-

MANHASSET co. NOT
 TO SPIN YARN HERE
Rumor of Great Interest to Put nam Is Denied By Ex-
 ecutive
Idea of Closing Taunton Factory Is
 Abandoned After investigation

Great interest was created in the city early this week when the report was circulated quite widely that the Manhasset Manufacturing Company was going to- close it's spinning fae- tory in Taunton and transfer this im- portant branch of the business to Put nam.
 Investigation of the rumor by The Patriot reporter disclosed that the re- port wasn't true. Unlike many rumors which reporters are forced to "chase down" for the sake of being sure rather than sorry, there was some basis of fact for the report getting started and spreading quickly.
 Idea Thoroughly Investigated
 An executive of the Manhasset Manufacturing Company informed The Patriot that the idea of disposing of the spinning mill at Taunton and transferring this manufacturing pro- cess to Putnam, to the new mill of the company, which is not used in it's entirely, was investigated, with the idea in view of eliminating the nee essity of trucking yarn from the Taun- ton mill to the local plant. Careful scrutiny of the project, together with much heavy figuring with paper and pencil, decided the company officials that the idea was not practical one from at least one important point of view-finaneial
 Putnam people who heard of the reported change that would be such an acceptable boom for Putnam, will regret to learn that the scheme has been abandoned. They will hope. however. that in the not far distant future the Manhasset officials will discover a way of reversing their figures. that they may prove that the change is a desirable one and will locate tine eompanys spinning mAl in this city.

ANOTHER PoMFRET BURGLARY
Vandals Ransaek Residence of Dr..
 Jay on Village Street

When Peter Murphy. caretaker of "The Acorns." the Pomfret summer residence of Dr. John C. Jay, went Co make his weekly inspection of the house last Sunday morning, he found that vandas had entered the resi- denee some time during the previous week and had ransacked every room, damaged several pieces of furniture, left cigars and cigarette butts behind and had written obscene verses on the mantels and walls. So far as is known now, no property of any value was removed from the house.
 This is the first Pomfret house to report a burglarizing entrance since the well-known Bradley burglaries of two winters ago. when a number of Pomfret and Woodstock homes were entered. Dr. Jays family had taken the precaution to remove or store all movable articles of any value before closing the house for the season. The house, however, is left in complete disorder as result of the visit.

ABANDONS HIS PLAN
 TO ERECT BUILDING
James F. Donahue Not to Re buiid.-To Sell Downtown
 Land
Gives Option on Property, But Nc
 Deal Closed as Yet

James F. Donahue told Patriot reporter this morning that he hac definitely abandoned his plan to erect a new business block on the downtown site, to replace the structure that was burned to the ground on Feb. 9. Mir Donahue gave as his reason for his de cision his unwillingness to shoulder the business responsibilities that would accrue from putting up and renting such a business block. Management of hs drug store business is sufficient he adds.
 Mir. Donahue's decision not to build does not mean, however. that no block will be erected on the site of the re- cent fire. A building will most sure. ly 20 up, but who will be it's owner re. mains to be seen. The spot is alto gether too valuable and centrally lo- eated to remain as it is today.
 Several people have already ap- proached Mr. Donahue with a proposi. ton to buy the land, and while an op- ton has been given by him to one in. dividual, no deal has yet been closed, and probably won't be for several days at least.

Health Authorities Isolate Dudley Wo
 mAn.-Two Deaths

Chiefly through blood tests, health authorities of Massachusetts and Con neeticut believe that they have finally discovered the carrier" that has been responsible for the epidemic of ty. phoid fever in Quinebaug and Dudley A woman is the individual believed to have been infected and unconsciously spread the malady. She was immedi- ately isolated.
 Health authorities state that there have been 20 cases of typhoid in all. nine of which have been quarantinel at Quinebaug by Health Officer Oscar Munyan of the town of Thompson. The other cases Lave been taken care of by Dudley authorities.
 Although three or four new eases were reported during the past week, 1t is now believed that the epidemic is on the wane and that those now i'll will be cured in a brief time There have been but two deaths among the 20 cases that have been reported.

MILL PEOPLE HERE
 JOIN LABOR UNION
Organizers, Quietly at Work, Make Headway With Their
 Project
Total Membership Not Known
 Wesvers Are Said to Predominste

Following months of quiet work among the mill operatives of Putnam, organizers representing the American Federation of Labor have instituted a union, which, so far as known, con sists entirely of weavers. Just how far the unioniZing has gone is not definitely known. mill executives not being in possession of the facts, and mill workers are not disposed to dis close what groups have been organ ized or how many operatives have been induced to join. Since The Pa triot first called attention to the union organizing movement some months ago. much work has been done, and the individual canvass of mill workers has met with some degree of success. MaFy operatives, content with their situation and confident that their em- ployers are and would continue to deal justly with them, have declined to link up with the movement and have not joined any organization.
 What is true of Putnam is true also of practically all the mill towns throughout the Quinebaug Valley. In each there is being made, and has been for months, concerted effort to organize mill workers into unions. the advocates apparently having met with a degree of success.
 All this is particularly interesting in this locality at just this time, when textile operatives in Fall River and other larger mill centers have voiced demands for increased wages.
