BRITISH SPEED
CRAZE CROWS
Demand More and More
Exciting Entertainment.

LONDON, June 15.-The British
publics craze for exciting enter
tainment is rapidly on the increase.
During the past year thriller"
players, plentifully sprinkled with
murders, mysteries, excitement, and
action, have been drawing packed
houses to many of the London and
provincial theaters.
Dog racing. with trained-to-the-
minute greyhounds tearing round
a track in pursuit Of an electrically
driven dummy here at the rate of
thirty-f1ve miles per hour, has be-
come so popular that there is now
track in every fairly populated
center of the country.
OF more recent birth is the de-
mand for motorcycle racing on
dirt tracks, with skids and falls in
abundance. The thrills Of this sport
have attracted the public to such
an extent that riders from over
seas have been brought in to give
an international flavor to the game.
Some of these meetings are be-
ing held on the greyhound tracks,
while speedways, exclusively for mo-
torcycle races, are springing UP
| throughout Britain.

POLICE TAG CARS DRIVERS WARNED
Many Susnmonses to Report ls- sued Through Little Green Tags.-Regulations Are Now Being Observed.

It did not take the Putnam police force long to get into action after reading of the criticism by the common council that the city ordinan- ces relative to parking were not being enforced. Friday and Saturday over hundred cars were tagged and with in the past week the number has reached at least hundred and fifty.
 As result of this campaign the fire lane on Main street Is now being kept clear. No Parking" signs have come to mean something, and infrac- tions of the local parking ordinances have diminished to a minimum.
 There have been no arrests. The tags put on the cars require that the owner or driver of the vehicle report to the police. When this is done the driver is pleasantly but firmly warn ed that a repetition of the offence may mean an appearance in court. It is anticipated that as the public has been properly warned that the ordin- ances are to be strictly enforced there will be little further effort nee cessary.

been mixled and deceived. 1t was at this time that the first few of the withdrawals began to find their way back into the bank from which they had been withdrawn, and 1t was known that the backbone of the run had been broken From one o'clock Tuesday af- ternoon there was 6 noticeable decrease in the number of deposltors arriving al the bank. By half past three o. clock there vas hardly customer within the banking house.
 Expressions of Confidence
 The outward evidence that there was trouble at the Savings Bank appeared Monday afternoon. By three o'clock the business department of the bank was crowded. Merchants in stores be- came interested and craned necks to see what was going on. Groups gath cred on corners and in store doorways and the discussion of the situation be- came general. There were many ex- pressions of confidence in the bank. Thinking people could not be alarmed without apparent reason and refused to credit any wild rumors without evi- dence to back them up. Everywhere the situation was deplored, out of sym pathy for the bank and for the city of Putnam. A stream of people kept ar irving at the bank until four o'clock, the end of the banking day.
 Wednesday morning, in spite of a hurried campaign the evening before to check the spreading rumors, there was a gathering of approximately thirty people on the sidewalk in front of the bank when the doors were open. ed. Several times the bank was so crowded that more could not be ad- mitted. People came from within the building more or less bedraggled and perspiring. Most of them were women. 1t was trying time for all. Then came the offer of the two local banks Co receive depositors' books, followed by the printed notice, and the situa- tion calmed down. The officials real ized early Tuesday afternoon that the conditions were returning to nsrmal.

Secrecy Maintained

The strange part of the whole de- plorable affair is as to how secretly the whispering campaign was execut- ed. While there are few who will say that they have heard rumors for the past month. they are unable to state what rumors they heard. Those closest to the institution, including off cers of the bank, did not realize the seriousness of the situation until Mon day afternoon. Had there been re- alization of how serious the whispering campaign had become the result might have been sooner forestalled.
