Three automobiles loaded with picnickers returning from the negro outing at Hanover park, Mcriden, staged an impromptu race about midnight last night while on the road from Southington to Plainvillc, skidde4 off the west pavement and into the ditch on the left side of the road. The long straight stretch from Southington here was too much for them to resist. .Oblivious to the condition Of the road, which is al ways very slippery after a rain, they started on their rush for Plainville, but none of them reached here.
 As the first car neared the town line it skidded to the left and top pied over into the ditch on the wrong side of the road. Tho remain ing machines kept on, and one Is said to have attempted 10 pass the other. As it did so. it also slued anC slid into the ditch beside the first while the third car, not to be out done, twisted off the road and fount a resting place with the other two The three machines lay In raw ol their backs only few feet iron each other.

With extraordinary few excep-
tons, the great cities Of the United
States are strikingly alike. There
are differences, OF course, but in
most ways they are astoun4lngly
standardized. What you find in
one you find in the others, IL you
look. Life is essentially alike in
them all. Society and business
are conducted along the same
lines. Vice and virtue are found
in about equal proportions. Men
and women play and work to the
same ends.
The smaller cities merely initiate
the big ones. go through the metro
pOiitan movements on smaller
scale. 1t is really only the little
towns that have character and in
div;ALallty. There are thousands
Of these in which live from 300 to
5000 people. and which differ As
much as men differ. They are not
big enough to have adopted stand
ards, to have acquired modern
methods or to have lost their nat
uralness. 1t is true lots OF them

places, .pathetically down at the

ingly upright and are amazingly
pretty, with smiling faces high

lovely life than can be found in

Alcohol is much lighter than water.
So, if you mix pint Of alcohol with
a pint of water, you have a $3.50
mixture by volume, but much less
than half the weight is alcohol.
On the other hand. if you mix a
pound of alcohol with a pound of
water. you have $3.50 mixture by
weight, but much more than half
the bulk is alcohol. The Canadians
figure by volume; we by weight.
So the Canadian "fourfour" beer

as a tantalizing drink. You chase
the drunk all day, and never quite
arrive.
Less experienced DRINKS might
catch it but they would have to drink
lot-nearly twice as much as of
real" beer.
The new beverage might not be
very injurious. to one who drank it
right. That is not the way our ex-
cursionists go across the border to
drink it.

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
~ OLIVE ROBRRTD BARTON
THE INVISIBLE PIXIES

did you ever hear the story Of
the Invisible Pixies?" asked Mi o.
Mi, the Story Teller Man.
mo we didn't cried the Twins
excitedly. "Will you tell it to us?"
Let me see,' said Mi O. Mi
thoughtfully. Il think I know how
it goes. Oh, yes! remember:
"Once upon time there were
some pixies who were extra bad and
extra mischevous and extra every
thing.
"They lived in large cave right
outside a village, and the FRANKS
they played kept the poor villagers
in hot water most of the time. Not
real hot water, but just-well, just
hot water--trouble, you know"
"Then what?" asked Nick.
"Oh, ho!" laughed Mi O. Mi,
"here's someone who wants to hear
story back foremost. I'm hurrying
as fast as | can"
This time he went on and no one
interrupted him again.
well, as said before, no one
knew who was going to get into
trouble next. One night a baby's
bank was robbed right on the man
telpiece. Another night the groce,
lost all his molasses out of his mo-
lasses barrel in his cellar, another
night someone stole the feathers
right out of Granny Nip Maps pillow
while she slept. And so on.
But the worst one of all was the
butcher. The pixies loved bologna
better than anything in the world
and about every other night they
walked off with whole ring of it
And sausage! My goodness! The
sausage they stole!
"Well, there was a young man in
the village named Toby, who decided
to turn police man and find out who
was stealing all their things. He
rather suspected the pixies in Pixie
Cave as it was called, although no.
| body had ever actually seen them.
And so late one night he crept out
of the village until he came to the
cave and hid inside.

But after the while he could see
