DANCE FOR CHARITY
 AT ELKS' BALL
Second Annual At Danielson Thursday Night Was An
 Elaborate Affair
Beautiful Decorstions-Pretty Gowns
 Fine Musie--Daneing


 From appearances in the State Armory, Danielson, Thursday night the rain of the early evening did not keep many. if any, away from the second annual Elks' Charity Concert and Ball under the auspices of the Danielson brothers of Putnam Lodge. The dance for charity was a success from all angles and was enjoyed by large number of people from east ern Windham county and beyond.
 From Main street to the State Armory electric lights had been strung making great light way lead ing to the temporary ball room.
 Once inside the building the real beauty of the scene came in view. The decorations were elaborate but we'll balanced, nile green, white and pink predominating. Streamers or green and white radiated from een- tral point to the side walls of the drill shed high above the dancing floor forming a canopy which hid from view the roof of the state building. The side walls were also hidden with bunting of the same shade. Along the front of the balcony ran rich drapery of gold embroidered and gold fringed garnet and in several con spicuous places the emblem of the antlered order blazed forth in cleo tric lights.
 A feature of the great light way was an electrically lighted sign out lining the letters B. P. o. F.. which was suspended across the street.
 Some Features
 Some beautiful gowns were dis played by the women. Denish Band and Orchestra of Providence furnish ed an excellent concert program; also music for the dancing. Their pro gram numbers were: March, Stars and Stripes Forever" Sousa; over ture, Raymond, Souppe, cornet duet, Italia Della" Denish; vocal solo, "Dreamer of Dreams" John Crowley descriptive.

 The II o'clock toast: March, or- ehestra; chimes f1l o'clock) Elks' Toast, given by A. Graydon Sharpe, exalted ruler; Auld Lang Syne, or  chestra.
 The dance program continued until l o'clock this Friday morning and at about II o'clock there was an in- termission during which large nun. bers of dancers availed themselves Of the opportunity to be served with lunches at the Attawaugan hotel or the Casino, where an orchestra play ed while the diners were being serv- ed.

Kennedy, Sidney Marland, Aldai Lamothe, Henry 5. 1 King. F. A. Kristel. Joseph Raymond. ! Jr.. James E. Murray, John Lynch, l C. E. Hellener and Oscar Peterson.

AVOID coAsTING ACCIDENTS
Parents Should Warn Children of
 Danger in Highways

Mayor Victor Chapdelaine has called attention to the fact that many chil- dren are liable to be killed or seriously injured by coasting on streets where there is traffic, or from coasting on side streets and ending their coast in a travelled highway.
 Coasting on streets of the city Is forbidden by law. but if parents, so- licitous for the welfare of their chil- dren, control them, and warn them, 1t will be a much better and more eff fective method than bringing them into court.
 It is the duty of parents to see that their children do not coast where there is danger from passing vehicles. If they do this they will safeguard their children and assist the city authori- ies.

Liquor NiOlafors Run
 To COuer With Changed Pleas
All Plead Nolo But Charles Bawza, Whose Case Ia
 Nolled
Stia Sentence of Charles Bzureh Ap-
 psrently Has Effect

The heavy sentence meted out tn Charles Brzuch by Judge Jennings doubtless influenced the change in plea recorded in nine liquor cases at the Superior court session Thursday. In nearly all of these cases sentences giv~ en by Judge Nj. II. Geissler in the Putnam city court, and from which appeal had been taken, were reim- posed The proceedings had the ap- ISaranee of running to cover by the defendants with fear instllled hearts by the courts severity.
 One of those whose plea was chang ed was John Tyburski. resident on Park street. Typurski had previously pleaded not guilty, and trial of his case had been started when the Brzuch case had been disposed of. John An- drews and Leon Nineoski, the two de. tectives or "spotters," who have hg. ured so prominently in all of the hear ings, were the only witnesses for the state. and Tyburski and his wife the only witnesses introduced by the de- fense. An interpreter was required in questioning both Mir. and Mrs. Ty- bI~Ski.
 Nlncoski claimed to have purchased alcohol from Iyburski early Tn the morning Of October ls, following . dance at the Polish Alliance Club rooms on School street. Andrews purchase was on the afternoon of Mo- vember IS, according to his testimony.
 TybursikI admitted that Nincoski had been Ut hls house, but denied having sold him liquor. He was not certain that he had ever seen Andrews before except m court. He told the court that during his six years residence in | Putnam he had never sold drop of liquor.
 Has Seven Children
 Tyburski and his wife are the par ents of seven children, the oldest of whols. is only thirteen years of age. All of the children were in court wIth ths parents on Thursday. and were formed into u veritable parade when 1t eama tune to leave. The father recently was employed at the Connecticut Mills lin DanIelson, and earned only twelve dollars 6 week. Recently he has been earning larger pay shovelling snow. When both he and his wife had ha- ished their testimony, there were sr- guments by Attorney Johnson for the state, and Attorney Torrey for the de- fense. The argument of Attorney Searls was put over until Thursday morning.
