 The men were not recognized and they strolled over the common to the bus stand of Percy Fielding.
 "How much will you charge to take us to Worcester" they in quircd.
 "Ten dollars" Fielding replied.
 Fielding and Elmer Drodeur who was with him recognized the con- victs but managed to conceal their alarm.
 "Tho price is all right" said one Of tho men and they got into the waiting automobile.
 Fielding drove in the direction Of tho town hall, where 8 dance was in progress.
 Wait until 1 go in and tell my folks where I'm going he told his and then well start for Worcester"
 Evidently divining that Fielding was going 10 spread the alarm, the suddenly leaped from the and ran. The word or their presence in the town spread rapidly and q score of young men rushed from the dance hall 10 give pursuit.

ID OPEN EAST END BRANCH OF LIBRARY
New Quarters Secured at East
 and Rhodes Streets

Library patrons in the eastern section of the city will rejoice over the news that the library commit tee has leased room at the cor ner of East and Rhodes streets 10 he used as a branch library. For q number of years the New Britain Institute has maintained a branch in the basement of the East Street school which has been warmly supported by the East Street Par ent and Teachers association and patronized by hundreds of adults and children who appreciated the advantages il offered. This library, in spite of it's popularity, had 10 be closed last November as the To- cation had repeatedly proved both inadequate and unsuitable.
 The definite date for opening the branch in it's new quarters has not been determined but probably 1t will be within two or three weeks. When it opens, five thousand books will be ready for circulation. also mounted pictures for the use of teachers or parents. A small but well equipped reference library which in the past has been found very useful for students, is in cudcd in the library equipment. Books will be charged for two weeks with the privilege of re- nowal, with the exception of new fiction. At present it will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri days from 2:3o 10 5:3O for adults and children. also on Monday eye nings from ' to for adults and students
 This branch is the first one es- abolished by the New Britain Insti- tute and the overwhelming patron. age given it in the past, the com mittce believes, attests the real need of such library facilities in this part of the city. With more room, better equipment. greatly improved working conditions for the librarians and better accom- modations for the patrons it is eX- pectcd that this library will prove an even greater boon in the future than it has in inc past.
