SOUTHINGTON NEWS

Fastidious burglars broke into the shoe store owned by Louis spara- dowski on Center street early yester- day morning and made off with over $700 worth of high-priced shoes and silk stockings. They entered the place by prying off heavy screen window in the rear of the building and evidently spent more than an hour in sorting out the stock and selecting the best articles, which they removed from the boxes and probably carried away in bags. MT. sparadowski did not retire until l o'clock. so that the thieves must have been busy at some time be- tween that hour and o'clock, when he opened the store.
 This is the second large break here in the past two weeks.
 The following candidates have been placed in nomination by the democratic party here: First select man, c. w. Camp: second. Alexander Carey; auditor, James F. Mozart land; tax collector, T. E.

PIGEON Finds Way BY Siaht

a British royal air force pigeon, re-
leased from a balloon a mile and a
half above the ground, was unable
to see the earth below on account OF
q thick blanket of clouds. After fly
ing around for little time the bird
gave up all hope of finding its way
back to it's home, some $50 miles
away. and settled down comfortably
on the balloon, much as Noah's dove
settled on the ark when 1t could find
no place to rest on account OF tho
waters. The pigeon, however. had
better luck than Noah's dove. After
time n rift appeared n the clouds.
and the bird swooped from the bal
loon through the gap N the vapor'
and two hours later had delivered the
message tied to its leg. This Incl
dent indicates that n pigeon finds It's
way home by sight. not by instinct,
as many have thought.

Reading Characters Ey Tongues


"Glossomancy" is the name which
has been given to the newest
science" 1t consists in reading peo-
pies characters by the shape and
size of the tongue.
Accol ding to the Elossomancists,
those who possess short and broad
tongues arc apt to be untruthful.
while people whose tongues are
short and narrow are sly and bad
tempered.
When the tongue is long and
broad. it is a sign that its owner is
inclined to be a gossip. a tongue
that is long and narrow denotes a
frank. open disposition.
Girls with small. round. plump
tongues possess trustful and af-
fectionate dispositions; bat men
with similar shaped tongues are apt
to be inconsistent.
What glossomancists term the rec
tangular tpye Of tonguc-one that is
almost square in shapc-is indi-
cativc of n strong virile nature. Men
with these shaped tongues arc am
