about the country because of the action of guards at

hudson beyond the prison fence
he guards turned deaf to the pleas of the
conVlcts, who we're forced to the boys drown with

In commenting on the course taken by the guards,
Warden Lawes said, They to be criticized, but
II prisoner was willing to risk his life is too bad
there wasn't 2 guard to risk his job
In thus commenting the affair, the warden
shows himself inconsistent (thank heaven) for he ap
parently possesses certain fundamental traits of
humanitarianism which his guards did not have in
their makeup.
The warden also adds that "a man breaking
fast rule sometimes shows himself bigger than one

UNCLE WIGGILY AND JACKIE s
BONE

Once upon time Jackie Bow
Wow, the little puppy dog boy,
found fine bone with hole in it.
OF course the hole wasn't very fine.
In fact it was rather large hole,
and Jackie would have been more
pleased if the bone had been solid.
But | m thankful for what it
is, - he whined softly to himself,
picking up the bone in his sharp
teeth. And as | m not hungry now,
| will bury the bone until l need
it,.
Digging hole in the ground. no,
far from Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow, Jackie put the
round, juicy bone, with hole in it,
down in the hole and began to
scratch the dirt over it with his
paws.
Before the doggie boy had done
more than scatter a little dirt he
heard his brother Peetie calling:
Ho. Jackie! Ho, Jackie!''
"What s the matter?' barked
Jackie. pricking up his ears.
"Come on play ball!' called the
other puppy.
Then. leaving his bone only partly
covered with dirt, Jackie ran to his
brother and soon the two little chaps
were having fine fun tossing ball
around the lots and over into the
woods where they chased it glee-
fully.
After a time they became tired

tleman's home, but, to their surprise
Jackie and Peetie saw the Bob Cat,
with his silly, little short, stumpy
tail, sitting i= front of Uncle Wig,
gily, growing.
Well you can't get away from
me now!' the Bob Cat was saving.
Yesterday you threw water in my
wife S face and splattered tooth
paste of soap in my eyes. But now
I've caught you"
Eyes, it does look So, sadly
sighed the bunny.
Just then the Bob Cat got up from
where he was sitting on the ground
and he ran toward he rabbit to nib
bic his ears. But as the bad chap
did this Peetie barked:
"What has the Bob Cat on his
silly little tail''
Jackie gave one look and howl.
cd:
He has my bone-my bone with
a hole in it! The Bob Cat sat down
in the hole, where 1 was burying
my bone, and his tail stuck in the
hole of the bone and he is going
to take it away. Oh, WOW! Stop.
Then Jackie and Peetie rushed
up behind the Bob Cat, barking

with the hole off his tail. When the
Bob Cat heard the puppies barking
behind him, not knowing what it
was about, he thought it was the
Police Dog after him.
"Oh, wow! Don't arrest me. II
be good!' the Bob Cat howled. And
away he ran, shaking his little tail
so hard that the bone fell off, so
Jackie and Peetie could take turns
gnawing it.
"You and your bone saved my
ears. Jackie" said he bunny as he
thanked the puppies. So everything
was all right, and if the canary bird
doesn't pull all his tail feathers out
to make a dusting brush for the
piano, II tell you next about Uncle

Neubauer re- turned home about 10 o'clock and vas unable to open any of the doors. He finally crawled in through a small rear window and found the body dangling by rope which had been thrown over a steampipe.

 You will always be recognized as one of the pioneers in this great de- vclopment.'

Lieut.. Dixon Originally
 Chosen to Ride in "C0lumbia" on Its Long Journey Across Atlantic.

Clarence D. Chamberlin. the avia- tor who has just broken the worlds record for long distance flying, was banned from flying in the state of Connecticut because he was an in- efficient pilot. according to Nels J. Nelson of this city. one of the pioneer aviators in the country. Mir. Chamberlin was a frequent visitor at MT. Nelson's place of business at the Aero Garage at PTS Elm street. and only about year and half ago, Chamberlin purchased an air plane motor from the local man and has used 1t in flying his own plane in various parts of the country.
 In his many visits to this city, Mir. Chamberlin became acquainted with many of the residents of New Brit ain. He is an intimate friend of the local aviator and of Lieut.. Carl Dixon of the Connecticut National Guard Air Squadron.
 Speaking of ChamLe-lin. MT. Nell son revealed the fact that Lieut. Dixon was originally scheduled to be the pilot with Chamberlin on the New York to Paris flight planned by the owners of the Bellanca plane and only two months ago, just few weeks before Chamberlin and Acosta broke the worlds record for sus- tained flying, Lieut.. Dixon and Lieut.. Nelson flew from Hartford to Has brouck Heights, N. J., on the re- quest of the owners of the plane to inspect 1t. While there, Lieut.. Dixon was asked whether he pre- ferred steel gasoline tanks or ones made of duralinium. Lieut.. Dixon's choice lay with the steel tanks. In the meantime, the plans of the own CTS were changed and Lieut.. Dixon was left out of the flight plans.
 About three years ago, Chamber lin flew to New Haven and to the Yale bowl where a football game was in progress. He circled over the stadium and then flew so low that Major T. O. Freeman. head of the Connecticut National Guard aviation and Clarence Knox, now head of the airplane commission in this state, but at that time both jointly in charge of aviation in Connecticut. banned Chambcrlin from flying in the state. They stated 1t is said that his actions at the Yale bowl dem. onstrated that he was not a fit pilot and to eliminate any chance of ac- oidents, he was told to stay out of the air over the Nutmeg state.
 About two weeks after that, Chamberlin arrived in Hartford with plane that looked much the worse for wear. He planned to enter an aviation meet which was to be staged there but when officials in charge inspected his machine with its tattered wings and creaky joints, they threw Up their hands in hor- TOT and recalled that Chamberlin was forbidden to fly in Connecticut.
 Nevertheless, Chamberln sent Ralph Barrows, Hartford pilot, up in his plane in the meet and the machine was good enough to carry off large silver cup for the work it performed.
