these parts and by mothers as a bogy-man for their spunky young sters, history shows that Warren lived and spent a great deal of his life as hermit In the cave that now bears his name.
 Stanley's history of the First church of New Britain makes re- ference to a member of that body by saying that She was known to be sister of Al Warren, the her. init, who inhabited a cave on Rattlesnake Hill" It states that he was the son of Abraham Warren and Experience Stephens Warren, both of Wethersfield. Beyond this, nothing of his early life is known.
 Today the legend of Warren is al- most forgotten as is the way to the cave on the hillside, but 1t is worth telling.
 Mir. Warren Comes to Town
 One day the peaceful colonial town of Pennington was slightly stirred from the even tenor of Its way by the arrival of stranger. The newcomer was a dark envisa ged man, silent and stolid. Of the many -6uestions asked him, only one re- ceived an answer and that was that his name was twill Warren"
 In those days, a mans ancestors counted for a great deal more than they do now, and because of this. Warren was Tiewed with suspicion because his family tree was not known. He was watched and his every footstep was dogged by the waggIers of the village who carried their reports to the town officials and more than once exaggerated the few facts they had.
 Warren, however, was nnmindtul of this close scrutiny and the half open hostility. Because he was shun- ned by the residents of Pennington and had no white man for friend, he became friendly with the Indians and passed many pleasant hours with them. Be became a renegade when he failed to attend church. In fact, his face was never seen inside a church door. But when it was re- ported to the authorities that he had spent one whole Sunday afternoon fishing in the Pennington river in company with his redskin friends, those worthies decided that immedi- ate steps should be taken to correct his ways.
 Then sitting in high court, the judges decreed that Will Warren should be tied to te public whip ping post and 40 lashes should be applied to his bare back. This same post was taken down only a few years ago from the spot where it had served for years as the public sign post. Accordingly, Warren was taken in hand, tied before the nodding gathering of villagers and given his sentence. a"
 outwardly, Warren suffered his disgrace in silence and with sto- ic.srn, but within his anger mounted and before the last lash had been applied. he had planned his re- venge.
 Shortly Nster this event, suspicious fires troke cut at intervals in the village and they became 50 numer- ous that men were set 10 watch. A stealthy figure was seen creeping in the dead of the night towards one of the barns in the village and .

 Assembly Co-operates

New Britain's zoning ordinance will probably be in operation about March 1, If the commission is suc- cessful in bringing about early ac- ton on an enabling ordinance which is to be submitted shortly after the next general assembly cglvenes, Chairman Thomas Linder said today.

The law will then be put in effect with a zoning commission and a board of appeal as its administrative bodies.

FASCINATING TALE
 OF'WARREN'S DEN
Lore of Connecticut Enriched by
 Story From ''Rattlesnake Hill"

Various places throughout the state have their own peculiar tales of lore and in the vicinity of New Britain, there are many places around which romantic and mystic stories twine. One of these is Bill Warren's Den, which in the past years has been the mecca of hiking parties and box-lunch picnics.
 Bill Warren's Den is hidden in a hill In the Pinnacle Mountains which is, known to the old settlers in this section of the state as "Rattlesnake Htll'' because of the large numbers of that species of reptile which nest there. The den itself is nothing more than a small hole high up on the side of the hIll without room for a person to pass in without bending and about IS feet deep, It is almost covered with brush and Is difficult spot to reach unless one has guide familiar with the territory.
 Still the story of the den forms one of the. most entrancing tales. Despite the fact that many are con- vinced that Warren was nothing more than an imaginary figure con- iured up by the early settlers in

torch was being applied when the watchers surpriseI the man and he was recognized as Warren.
 Will fled but a posse of men with their hounds were soon on his trial. All through the night the searchers, led by the paying of the dogs on the scent, followed the trail into the woods and mountains south of the town.
 Warren fled through swamp and marsh into the hills buffetlng against trees and bushes until, almost ex- hausted, he paused to rest. He could hear the hounds bay and here and there a faint shout, showing that his pursuers were not far be- hind. Again he started on and kept it up until morning dawned and he found that he had travelled in a circle throughout the night and had come to a ridge now known as Pin nacle Rock which overlooked the town from which he was trying to get away.
 Tired but desperate, he again took to his heels. stumbling up the rocky path trying to reach the summit. At length he came upon two Indian souaws sitting on a rock making wampum. They knew him and gave him the friendly sign,. Then by signs and by words he knew, he told them of his plight. A short confer cnce ensued after which one of the women motioned him to follow her. She started through the woods with Warren after her and after short time, they reached the entrance of cavern on the kiil.
 The opening was low and covered with brush and without hesitation, Will plunged in and lay panting in the dark. The squaw returned and Joined her friend and when the posse reached the place, they blink ed their ignorance and shrugged their shoulders and the posse passed on.
 The oogs lost the scent and though the posse searched all around, they could not find the man they were after and they returned to their homes.
 Several years later, a hunter trav- cling through the hills reported that he had seen a white man with an Indian squaw and several chil- dren playing around. He went clos CT to the scene and recognized War rem. The townspeople, however. never disturbed him and although frequent raids on farmers chickens. calves and farms were laid at War ren's door, no one ever tried to run him of.
 Years afterwards, when the In- dians had passed from the land and the whites hae peopled the territory, take shape. Interest in the tale be- came so keen that a party was form ed to discover the cave and explore It.
 A skeleton Is said to have been found within and members of the party said that it was unmistakabiy that of Warren. A later discovery of a grave nearby was said to have revealed the tones of Warren's wife and the grave was left on the hill.
 Years nave rolled by since the days wlen Warren lived on Rattle snake Hill. but the tale of his strange life still remains. dimmed though # is by the mists of time.

AUTOMOBILE MAKES F0R LONGER LIFE
Boston Lecturer Says it Takes
 People Into Open Air

Syracuse, N. r., Nov. 1.-The automobile was praised as one of the most potent factors in promoting health and longevity by Dr. Woods Hutchinson, author and lecturer of Boston, in an address at a luncheon meeting today of the state com mittee on tuberculosis and public health of the State Charities Aid as- sociation, which is in semi-annual convention here.
 Using for his topic making health contagious" Dr. Hutchinson de- clared that longer life and bettey health which the. people of the pres- ent generation are enjoying is due in great part to widespread use of automobiles.
 Your car takes you out in the open" he said, into the air and the sunlight--Nature's great curative forces. Your car adds to your years of life. Modern life, with its auto- mobiles, it's speed, its dainty foods and other luxuries, isn't so bad af- ter all."
 Even the danger of death which turks in the carbon monoxide gas given out by automobiles. Dr. Hutch inson declared, is being lessened by recent discoveries, in spite. of the fact that deaths from this source rank second among automobile fa- taIities.
 Until recently there was no sure cure for the victims of this gas," he explained, but not long ago 1t was discovered that carbon dioxide, the air which we breath out of our lungs, will, when mixed with oxy- gen andsadministered to the victim revive him."
 sTuberuclosis, which used to head our death lists" he continued, now ranks third, fourth or even fifth. In recent years many of the notions oi doctors have changed Good food we know today, is a proper aid to health, and by good food. I mean foods that formerly were. abhorred including ice cream. cakes and sal ads, all are rich in vitimins, and, al' though we do not know what these yitanlns are, we do know that they makesfor health"
