DRINKS BAY RUM

When they get to drinking bay -elear-it's time that some thing was done declared one Put nam man when he learned that one such case had been proven, con clusively.
 This instance came e the notice of the police when a man came Co the station the other night and ap- piled for permission to sleep there. He was not without cent, but he couldn't afford nights lodging in a boarding house. He had no home and few friends. His request was granted, but first he was searched according to custom.
 From the depths of his trousers pocket came three bottles of bay rum such as Is sold in downtown stores. They are attractive to look upon and are said to be effective agents for the purpose for which they are sold. The label said that each bottle contained sixty per cent alcohol.
 And it was determined that the man. in his craving for alcohol. had bought the hair tonic and had con- stunned quite bit of 1t. In fact he had drunk so much of 1t that it was a source of wonderment that he was able Go tell the story afterward.
 He went his way after his nights rest in a cell, apparently none the worse for having swal- lowed few bottles of the rum.

RED CROSS DRIVE
 GETS GOOD START
Soliciting of One Dollar Mem berships Starts on Arris-

Whs, Local Chapter is Doing Nslue
 of Health Center

Putnam's only observance of Ar mistice Day consisted of the beginning of the annual Red Cross drive, which gut under way early Monday morn ing under the direction of various lo- cal people who had voluntarily taken over a section of the city in which to make solicitations, The drive has continued daily this week and will continue until Nov. 2sth, Sc far the workers have met with marked success wherever they have been. indications showing that generally people realize the necessity of supporting the Red Cross both locally and nationally.
 The Workers
 Those who have undertaken the eel- lection of memberships are the follow ing;
 Joseph J. nupre, Providence street, north. and west of the railroad.
 Miss 5. F. Clarke. from the Second Congregational church and Lee street, between the railroad and the river.
 Miss Jennie Willis, from Bridge street, west of Woodstock avenue, south from Providence street.
 Miss Edith C. Bowen. west of the river to Woodstock avenue to Pom. fret street.
 Mrs. Silas wheelock. all of the busi- ness section of the city.
 Mrs. $. Nlkolon. territory west of the Five Mile river, including Hos pital Hill.
 Mrs. George Clark. from Wheaton's shop, east of the railroad.
 Solicitors for the sections tu the north and south of Grove street have not vet been secured, and the Direct. or. to be reached at Tel. 40, would very much appreciate volunteers to take care of the section.
 Extent of Local Work
 As has been frequently set forth in these columns, the work nf the Red Cross locally has grown steadily In the past few years. Aside from the work of the Red Cross nurse. Miss Iessard. the maintenance of the Red Cross Center is largely supported by the membership fees which are collect cd in this annual drive.
 Recently the local branch of the Red Cross was requested to help Tn furnishing knitted blankets for use In the Government hospitals for tuhercu- lar ex-service men The response Co this call was immediate, and several of these blankets were not only fur nished by the local chapter but were knitted hy the members themselves.
 In the Red Cross Center valuable feature that k maintained is a loan closet containing all kinds of supplies which are loaned to the sick at the dis cretinn of the Red Cross nurse.
 The public is not always informed of the number of families to whom clothing is given by the Chapter. Yet such calls are made almost weekly, the clothing being collected by the va ri0us members.
 in fact. the local Red Cross work IS as important an errand Of mercy m Putnam as is .he greater work of the big national organization it is the hope of the workers that over a thou sand members can Dc obtained Tn the period between today and the closing date. Thanksgiving Dav Nov 29.

MURPHY DROPS HIS
 DIVORCE PETITION
Local Man Has Complaint Taken From Court, Rec
 ords Disclose

Withdrawal of the sui, for divorce. instituted by B. r. Murphy of this city against his wife. Catherine Y. Murphy. is disclosed by records on file in the Windham County Superior court. The doctor brought his action last August, the papers in the case alleging that his wife was guilty of intolerahle cruelty. They were mar ried in 1901 and made their home tn Pomfret and Putnam. The complaint in the case stated that the alleged acts of cruelty were perpetrated be- tween 1918 and last August.
 Because the couple is so widely known. the commencement of divorce proceedings last August accustomed wide interest and not little sur prise. The withdrawal of the action will doubtless be similarly received.
