Col. Robertson told Of instances

For 10 years Mexico has been
torn by revolution. and hundreds Of

forced to come 10 the United States
or Starve. I have been going IN

and have never seen the country so
quiet since Don Porfirio Die- ruled

Hard Daily Labor
For Cadet Mascot

Instead OF being the pampered
pet of the cadet corps. he pulls a

OF glory as West Points football
mascot.
Only on the occasion of the
Army's biggest games is the monot-
ony Of his somewhat lazy existence
in the shafts Of a refuse cart brok-
en-perhaps not more than half j
dozen times in a season. Then he
comes into his cvn as an honored
participant in all the color and
pageantry for which such contests
are noted.
On the day Of the game he Is
relieved of his regular assignment.
placed in the hands Of a hostler,
who shines and sleekS him apprO-
priately and draps over his back q
blanket in Army colors. An extra
portion of oats is included.
Whether on trips TO far places
with the squad Or at home then, ne
prances with a lighter step. his
head is held proudly higher. Often
times he leads q parade Of the
corps around the gridiron before
the starting whistle. During the
game he something's is permitted 10
stand on the sidelines a short while
and later to head q parade Of VIC

Then. he Is led back to his name

would be, so the mule must earn his

THANKSGIVING
Passes Of Quietly Weather Uncertain With
 Snow And Sunshine

Putnam passed quiet Thanksgiv- ing day. The business section took on a Sundaylike appearance and few people were about. Business was at a standstil and the schools of the city were closed. Weatherwise the day was not altogether one for being out of doors. There were a series of snow squalls during which it showed hard and blew harder. Then the sun came out and in a short time clouded up again for another miniature blizzard.
 There were early masses at St. Mary's church, the last being at 8.30 o'clock. These were largely attended. At St. Philips Episcopal church, Grove street, there was well attend ed community service, the rector, Rev F.. r. Wright, occupying the pull pit
 shortly after nine o'clock there was parade Of Putnam High school and Killingly High school pupils through Union square. Both schools had their bands. the Putnam school band mak ing it's premier appearance. After the parade disbanded at Adams Field the football game between the old rivals was played. while a good number looked on from the sidelines. Putnam won the game 12 to 0. In the afternoon the same field saw the hard fought game between the Bedding Bulldogs and North Brookfield. Neither eleven was able te cross the others goal line and the game ended in a scorless tie.
 Tn it's afternoon and evening of ferings of five acts of movietone vaudeville and the talking picture. Tanned Legs" the Bradley theatre was we'll patronized. There were few empty seats and the playhouse de- served the patronage for it provided an excellent bill for the holiday.

SWANSON COMING
 IN THE TRESPASsER''

h a dramatically foreeful story and in a role that once again enables her to wear the beautiful clothes for ehieh she has become famous on the crcaa. Gloria Swanson makes her debut in taking and singing films at he Bradley theatre next Sunday and Monday when The Trespasser," her first all-dialogue United Artists pie .ure. written and directed by Edmund Goulding. opens for an engagement of two days.
 While the stars gorgeous wardrobe recalls the days of her first cinema triumphs. it is d new Gloria Swanson that the talking screen reveals in the United Artists picture. The rich tonal qualities of Miss Swanson's voice give fitting oral expression to her abilities as n dramatic actress.
 With a story that is singularly com pelling, "The Trespasser" is said to usher in a new era in the audible cin- ema. Edmund Goulding, author and director of the United Artists picture, Is said tc have evolved new art in the vehicle, so that the method of tel ling the story Is as novel as the theme itself Goulding also wrote the orig iual number, Love" which is one of the two pieces Miss Swanson sings in the feature.

Woman Workers at Night Jobs.

There are many excellent arguments
in favor of the passage Of laws prohibit
ing women from holding positions which
compel them to work at night, but in
this country there are but 16 States
which have this provision in the code
of laws. In several of these States the
law is limited to such degree as to
be almost ineffective, referring to few
trades, but on the other hand, many
Of the countries of Europe have very
effective laws on this subject. Thirty
six countries of Europe and Asia have
very complete laws to prevent women
working at the industries at night.
Night work is much more fatiguing
than the same labor performed during
the daytime, and the woman night
worker Is usually responsible for some
considerable amount of domestic labor
in connection with the operation Of the
home, and accordingly her physique u

| NEW YORK, April 2e.-The IL per

made little impression on high grade
bonds, including Government and cor

effect on the convertible group, owing
70 the weakness In stoUKs at intervals
during the session.
/ Most OF these bonds went of on small

which started with a block of $3.50 900,
