eight primary sailors, that are prepqr-
ed to combat any seen or unseen e,
and forty-seven advanced marines who
are better trained and have had more
time in the service.
As we put out to sea for the short
period of twenty weeks. we do not go
alone. We have ACCOMPANYING us
three other well equipped war vessels,
Holmes, Dean and Skaggs, that are
prepared for the deadliest of foes.
Nelther are we lacking in the war
time spirit t-cooperation. This we
proved III the battles this past summer.
On the morning of our embarlSment
we were sent out on our cruise by our
noble directors and patrons. As we
plough through this peaceful sea Of
education we are ever watched, direct
cd ana cheered as we advance on The
foe.
Every member in our crew has the
courage, zeal and faith that is neces-
sary in an attack against so yi)itnt
a roe. Their helmet of will-pOwer,
Their armor of determination and
their guns are loaded with grit
AS we pass our several ports week
after week we viii take on board new
recruits that have answered the call
or an enlightened world and see the
necessity of battling our foe We will
also take on old members that have
been out of the battle awhile and find
that it is essential that they serve
still longer to better their ability.
After five days out from port we
halted long enough to organize on
board a society that viii be known as
the Eureka Literary Society. The OIL
GERS of the society are: Ralph Staten,
pres; Lee Litherland, vice-pres. Dor

Each Friday evening we will make an
attack on our enemy by allowing the
members Of our crew to develop their
ability in n dramatic way. To this ex-
ercise we invite the patrons and others
to visit us and enjoy with us the pro-
grams.
As we battle with our small shin in
our meager way we hail the others Of
our Randolph county fleet and bid
them our aid and companiOnship. And
may our commander-in-chief Supt
Mock, claim the victory as his at the
end of our expedition.

Dean of School, Sister Marie Jose, Threatens Expulsion if Ban on Short Skirts, Lipstick and Rolled Hose Is Ignored.

Convent Station, N. J., Jan. tP) The almost universal disregard" at the college of St. Eliza beth of regulations against short skirts, lip sticks and rolled stockings. today prompted the dean, Sister Marie Jose, to notify parents of students that suspension from classes and possible expulsion would be inflicted for further violation.
 The letter to parents states that "the recent public announcements of his holiness and members of the hierarchy on the subject of women s dress does not permit a distinctly Catholic institution to assume an at titude of indifference or condone fashions and practices thus specifi- cally condemned.
 "The objectiona ble features of the prevailing styles of dress and their general adoption by the students made it necessary for the college authorities during the last year to formulate definite regulations re- garding dress.
 'The almost universal disregard Of the regulations has resulted in the decision 10 send this formal notice 10 the parents of each student, to inform them of the rules and the penalties attached to their infrac- tion.
 These regulations will go into ef- feet immediately after the holidays and are to be observed by the stu dents, not only when attending classes, but at all times when unde; the Jurisdiction of the college.''

the word but that is what he is. ''
 The attorney said he sincerely be- lieved the agent" was attempting to
 convict innocent persons.
 Undoubtedly he was away from
 the police car ten or fifteen minutes
 but according to his own testimony
 he was not in the store longer than
 a few minutes. He must have been
 elsewhere. the attorney contended. i There was reasonable doubt and
 the Di Mauros are entitled to its <! benefit, he claimed.
 l Judge filling said the route taken
 by the police car and the time it
 was out (5:1o to 5:30) prove that , the transaction in the store did not
 take more than a few minutes. The policemen saw the agent go | into the store and come out. Des-
 pite the argument of the defense counsel, the agent was reliable. the judge said. In some instances he has doubted the characters of men
 who have obtained evidence for the police, but this man, I am perfect 1 ly satisfied, Is absolutely reliable" Relative to the permit to make wine, ! it is dated Nov. 23, 1925, the judge remarked.
 Civic League Members There | Among the interested spectators
 were Attorney Arthur w. Upson,
 president of the Civic Safety league,
 John Sloan, a prominent member of 1 the league, Federal Agents Kelleher and Kiernan. After court, Chief Hart was in conference with Kelle- her. The nature of the agents bus mess was not disclosed, but accord ing to Prohibition Director Frank T.. Putney last week. his office will con- cern itself with the Halloran and Pajewski cases. It is expected that the liquor permits in the Vita drug store at Lafayette and Washington streets, where Halloran is employed land in the Pajewski pharmacy, will be revoked.
 The arrest of Paiewski and the events that followed overshadowed all other occurrences in this city
 last week, and attracted widespread attention about the state. Peter J. Pajewski. although he protested his innocense, was removed from the po- lice board. and immediately charged that he was the victim of frame up by polite ans. A meeting of fifth ward republicans was held and the nasty action of Mayor Weld was criticized freely by speakers.
 According to persons who know
 Brocko, he wore a mustache until
 few days ago, when he shaved it, apparently for the purpose of deceiv- ing any who might have been sus-
 picious. Although it was reported that he might fail 10 appear in court today. the police felt confident that he would not absent himself. As matters turned out, it would not have been necessary to disclose his identity but for the Di Mauro case.
 He has lived in New Britain since March ', 1925. is married and has children. he told Attorney Mcnon- ough. At the present time he has no employment in view. His appear ance in superior court. referred to by Attorney McDonough. had to do with a divorce case in which he was q witness.

| for a bottle of whi5key and $l each
 for three bottles of wine. He return ! ed 75 cents to Officer Stadler. He
 was not present the next day when | the raid was made At this point
 Attorney McDonough questioned him
 and learned that he has not worked | in four weeks. He was laid off at
 the Keeney Mfg. Co. in Newington. l he said.
 1 Attorney McDonough asked him Ito repeat the testimony he gave be- fore Judge Nickerson in superior court in November as to his employ ment, but Prosecuting Attorney Woods objected. Attorney McDon ough said the question was proper for the purpose of testing the credi. bility Of the witness but Judge AllinS excluded 1t for the time being, for | the reason that the proper founda- ton had not been built up for it. Husband Waits On Him
 The agent" sail he had bought cigarettes and tobacco in the store a number of times and Mrs. Dl Mauro always waited on him. but the day he went there to obtain evil dence for the police Di Mauro wait cd on him. He hac never seen Dl Mauro prior to that time. He was wearing a dark sweater and cap. Asked whether the sweater was black. blue or gray, the agent said he did not notice the color as he was looking for whiskey. Asked if he is an employe of the police department. the agent said he did not expect any pay for his work except his witness fees. "lf a policeman wants to hire me to- day, I'll go to work for him. he said. Asked to point out Mrs. Dl Mauro in the courtroom, he was un- able to do so.
 Do you mean that you cannot pick out the woman who waited on vou so many times?" the defense at torney inquired.
 Maybe I could, but it would take me too much time" was the reply. If I go there again l will take a good close look
 Asked if he had told lawyer in superior court that he could be To- cated at New Britain police head quarters. the "agent" challenged At- torney McDonough to show him such a statement.
 Di Mauro testified that the wine found by the police on the kitchen table was left over from Thursday night when l.e entertained his brother-in-law and wife. Asked if he knew the "asent," Di Mauro re- piled that he had never seen him to his knowledge.
 Denies Owning Beverages
 When the police came to search his store, he did not object. as he had not broken the law, he said. He has a permit to make wine, but he has never sold it, he testified. He denied ownership of the bottle Of whiskey and the bottles of wine which the agent" claimed to have purchased.
 Mrs Di Mauro testified that the wine in the cellar was owned by her sister, her brother law. her hus- band and herself, but she has never sold liquor or wine in the store or tenement, nor has her husband, to her knowledge.
 The agent" lied on the witness stand. she declared. She did not re- call ever having seen him in the store or elsewhere.
 Attorney McDonough, in his plea for a discharge for Di Mauro and his wife. attacked the "agent.' say ing he did not tell the truth. He is a stool pigeon" the attorney de- clared. "I don't like the sound of
