Legion Receives Colors

Legion. has received its new Legion
colors which were donated by Harold
L. Judd to the local post. The new
flag will first be displayed at the
state convention to be held in Dan
bury on August II. IS and 10.
Speaking Of the new colors today,
Commander Harold Ventres Of the
local post stated that Berlin's dele
cations was now as we'll equipped
with colors as any other post in the
country. He is enthusiastic con-
corning the gift and adds his thanks
to those already extended the donor
from members of the post. Mr..
Judd made the donation upon hear
ing that Bolton-kasica post was
Handicapped by its lack of the reg

Pole Replaced
Workmen of the Southern New
England Telephone CO. today re-
placed the pole at the corner of
East Berlin avenue and Worthing-
ton ridge which was splintered in
recent automobile accident. The
pole was considered a menace as it
was cut nearly in half by the impact
of heavy truck which struck 1t
at the base.
Cow Injured
Lulu, a Jersey COW belonging to J.
L. Dutton of East Berlin, took her
own means of showing resentment
towards the actions Of the state
board of health which Saturday con-
fiscated a herd of II COWS belonging
to the local resident which were al
legged to have become infected with
tuberculosis.
AS the cows were being trans
ported from the East Berlin farm
in a large truck, Lulu decided that
abrupt departure from the fields she
so loved was little premature, and
hurdling the side of the vehicle, she
was badly injured in the fall and
vas loaded on the truck again only
after two hours of hari work. She
completed the journey firmly
battered to prevent any further
breaks for freedom.

Evidence that the burglars were

VIII the bid now made by Mr..
McAdoo for the dry leadership be
successful, and If so, will 1t breathe
life anew into the political fortunes
of the former Secretary of the Treas
ury? There is not the slightest doubt
that the drys will wage a bitter fight
against Gov. Smith and his wet
cohorts in the next convention. The
drys must have leader. They cannot
beat somebody with nobody. Is Mr..
McAdoo the most available and the
most desirable selection?
Mr.. McAdoo has been regarded as
a friend of labor. as progressive In
his tendencies. AS director general
of railroads during the war he won
many supporters In union labor
circles. Both Woodrow Wilson and
William Jennings Bryan. the out
standing progressive leaders of their
party in the last thirty years, are
dead. Doubtless Mr.. MCAdoo VIII
appeal strongly to many, of their
supporters. He is a man of ire
mendous energy and of much politf-
cal acumen. He has seized opportunity
by the forelock in his declaration on
the wet and dry issue. No other
leading Democrat has taken publicly
so clear a stand. Gov. A. Vie Donahey
of Ohio. whose friends, If not the
governor himself. have been flirting
with the idea that he was to be the
dry Moses to lead his party out of
the wilderness next year. has held
off and has made no bid whatever
for national leadership. Mr.. McAdoo
has struck the first blow. The next
month or two will tell whether the
dry element to rally to his support
for the presidential nomination.

Motors, Radio and Crime.

Scotland Yard, which is regarded
the world over az one of the most
highly efficient police organizations, is
squarely up to date. Sixty fast motor
cars fitted with wireless apparatus are
now being built for the use of Great
Britain's criminal detection service.
Heretofore Scotland Yards flying
squad has used motor cycles, with the
disadvantage of limited carrying
power and no means of communica-
ton. The new cars will be the speed
lest that can be built and will permit
instant communication with head
quarters at any point on the road,
while affording facilities for concen-
trating force at any given point
without delay.
In this country the criminal has
lately been having the best of the
fight, using the fastest cars and thus
outspeeding the law 1t is seldom
that "a police car overtakes that in
which a lawbreaker Is fleeing. Cap
ture Is usually effected only when the
fugitive crashes on the road. The
police must depend upon the telegraph
or telephone for sending information
forward to head off fleeing law
breakers.
1t would be decidedly a good thing
for the American police to be equipped,
as are the Scotland Yard officers. with
the fastest machines that can be
made and with a dependable radio
outfit that can be used at any point
to reach headquarters. Crime is not
so prevalent in England as it is here,
more efficient. In this respect Ameri-
can civilization is a good lap behind

SHOOTING STARS.
BY PHILANDER JOHNSON

The Police.
l am longing for the dear old days de-
parted,
When a crime wave did not make
so big q splash;
When police were more contented and
light hearted.
Yet quick to capture malefactors
rash.
Perhaps we'd hear 1t very softly ru.
mored
That vigilance might be not quite
complete.
1t was mentioned in a manner not Ill
humored,
A policeman, maybe. slept upon his
beat.
Each night the brutal burglars get
ting busy,
The bootleg bandit starts a running
fire;
The traffic crossing makes the watch
man dizzy,
OF mysteries" we positively tire!
And so, I'm longing for a past so
pleasant,
When rogues with impudence did
not compete,
AS in the roaring and unruly present.
And copper took a nap while on
his beat.
