ROnping Around

I.istner-In-

Writing our column today re-
minds us very much Of one morning
when we were required to cut the
grass before receiving permission
to go out to the circus lot.
Commenting on d straight. color
less bill Of air entertainment a few
hours before the Knock Of gavel
cracks through a microphone. pro-
claiming to the world that the
Democratic national convention is
in session, holds no more charm
than did the dewy grass on that
dawn Of long ago.
For the politicians at Madison
Square Garden the convention may
be a serious business.
But for us and our headphones its
appeal is not unlike that which the
two-ring greatest show on earth
held out for US at the age of ten.
Thanks to radio, we are going to
the convention.
But not as we went to the CIRCUS.
Then we had a ringside seat. To-
day we will be present as one OF our
friends was present at the circus
peeping through hole in the tent.
But somehow, as we sat on on.
hard plank seat at that circus we
envied our playmate at the peep
hole.
We felt he was enjoying the circus
even more than we.
Now times have changed.
And. through the discovery of
radio. the big tent is mostly peep
holes and the largest crowd Is out
side the. canvass.
Biggest Event Tonight.
The little lady Of the bromides
having looked over our shoulder TO
read the program for today, Whis-
pers that it never rains but 1t
pours."
To which we nod assent and pro-
coed to draw attention to the fact
that WRC, not content with broad
casting the biggest event Of the
year, announces for tonight a pre-
sentation of the entire score of Fl.
M. S. Pinafore," by the English
Opera Company, under the direction
of Estelle Wentworth.
There's nothing like making big
spree of 1t as long as the spree is
started.
IN LneSS Gays when GI1IDerC ana
Sullivan are about as popular as
the members of the Washington
baseball team, "Pinafore'' should
draw tonight as many persons as
the double header at the Griffith
Stadium will attract Thursday.
Roxy to Entertain.
Up in New York at the same
time that Buttercup and Dick
Deadeye and the rest of them viii
be having their amusing troubles
at WRC, Roxy will be continuing
the entertainment of the delegates
to the convention with a special
midnight show at the Capitol.
In a letter from his publicity
manager this morning, it is an
nounced that Governor AL Smith.
Mister McAdoo and all the dark
horses will be in the boxes, from
which they will proceed to the
stage and talk things over with the
audience.
And now the grass is cut and
we can go to the circus.

YOUTHFUL RUNAWAY
 C0NS7ABLE'S MATCH John Robert Brown Of Hartford, Eight Years Old, Was Travelling CLAIMED N. Y. AS HIS HOME
Rumored Carter Will Run Again This Year = An-Kensingtons Take An other Victory--A. B. c. Team Does Same Thing-VacatiOn Notes.

John Robert Brown, an eight year
 old colored boy, proved himself al-
 most a match foF Officer William J.
 Ritchie yesterday afternoon, when
 the latter took the boy in tow, after
 he had been riding on the trolley cars
 and trains about Berlin practically all afternoon. The boy was from Hartford and had left home without
 the knowledge of his parents. . The attention of the officer was
 caled to the boy by one of the train men who wanted to know who he
 was, He had been hanging around
 the station all afternoon and had rid
 den to Middletown and back. He
 had no money in his pocket.
 Officer Ritchie questioned the youngster, who put on a, bold front for his eight years and haughtily in- formed the minion of the law that his name was John Robert Brown and he lived at 26 Elm street New York city. The officer doubted this asser- ton and decided that the child's home should be found before dark as Ber- lin possesses no facilities for housing eight year old wanderers.
 The New Britain police station was called to find out if any children had been reported missing Receiving a negative answer to his question Officer Ritchie called the Hartford police de- partment and received a like answer.
 Coniynced that John Robert lived in the vicinity of Berlin the officer attempted to bribe him into telling the truth, using piece of pie as bait. However, John Robert proved a match for the officer and stuck to his story that he was resident of New York city. He seemed to know quite little about the trains, but he also knew that there is reform school in , Meriden. ;
 After finishing the meal the boy having secured the pie at any rate, the officer wondered what else there l was to do.
 A way out of the problem was | found when a call was received from Hartford asking that the wanderer be sent to that city on the next train, believing that he was a boy who has several times gone on [ trips by rail, leaving his home on At | Officer Ritchie put the child on the ' train, the youngster still voHing that ' he was resident of 26 Elm street, S New York city. He vas met by an \ officer at the Hartford railroad sta : ion. It was learned today that the boy s resident Of Hartford living at 26 Atlantic street. It was said at the Hartford police station today that he ias run away from home several al ines. te

Explains Law
Applying to Non
Resident Guides

The Department of Inland Fish
cries and Game has received many
requests of late from non-residents
in various parts of the United States
-would-be visitors to Maine-for
nonresident guide licenses. The de-
partment is obliged to inform such
applicants that it can issue guide
licenses only to such non-residents
as possess the necessary quali:ica-
tions and live in contiguous territory
to Maine, that is, in the State of New
Hampshire, or in the Provinces Of
Quebec or New Brunswick.
Even though the department
should issue q guide license to a
resident of Massachusetts, New
York, Ohio or other non-contiguous
state, 1t would be no protection to
the licensee as its issuance is not
authorized by law.
