Family Martyrs

rarely-who insists upon renouncing for

out Of ten, the plain truth is that the
self-termed Joy which they give the rest
of the family by renouncing, Is often
anything but that.
For the family martyr is almost in
variably family hxer. A domineering
pest.
Mother, dear, you must do your hair
like this; mother. dear. you must stop
working in the garden at your age,
and, mother, dear, you must learn how
to make a really interesting soup. And.

rug, and. father, dear, you really must
take up golf: you're getting almost
paunchy. and. father. think you should

That's the manner in which the
chronic family martyr goes on. forever
harping at the other members of her
family to do thus and so, or not to do
this and that. Never relaxing.

suspected the signs of relief that 60 up

Cemetery Corner Gets
 More Auto Victims

Automobiles driven by John Lynch of Putnam and Frank Croexton of Norwich were in collision at the Grove Street cemetery corner, scene of many accidents, shortly after noon, Monday. Both cars were badly damaged but no one was injured except that Mir. Lynch wrenched his shoulder as his car righted itself.
 The Putnam car was coming north and the Norwich ear was going south. The driver of the Norwich auto failed to make a sharp corner. Mir. Lynch saw the car coming towards him and stepped 2n the gas in an effort to pass the danger point. He almost accom- plished his purpose, but not quite. The southbound ear hit the rear of his car on the left hand side, throwing it up- ward. It did not quite tip over. Only for the presence of mind of Mir. Lynch in speeding up, the crash would have been even more disastrous. Mir. Croexton, a man past middle age. had only driven a car four weeks. He had his wife with him at the time of the accident. The police investigated but made no arrests.

Two Minor Casualties From Explosives.--Fire Depart
 ment out.-Three Arrests
Celebration Extends Over Five-Day
 Period

Putnam's observance of Fourth of July, which began Saturday evening, continued through the national holi- day and well into the night, was rela- tiyeiy quiet. Less powder was burned than in former years, only two minor casualties were reported, and the fire department was called out several times for inconsequential fires.
 The Independence Day explosives went on sale Saturday. On that eve ming, and during every evening until late the following Thursday, the Fourth, there was more or less con- tinuous celebrating with explosives in various parts of the city. The police made no arrests for the premature use of firccrackers.
 The holiday itself was unusual for its coolness. In the morning 1t was so cold that in some instances house. holders rebuilt fires to keep warm. 1t rain, but only few sprin- kles fell, not enough tO mar the holi- day for those seeking pleasure out of doors.
 PeIsee Active
 Wednesday evening Captain of Pos lice William Jarvis and thirteen men were on duty. Only three minor cases were before the city court Friday morning. One defendant was charged with intoxication, one for failing to produce an operators license, and one for misuse of number plates.
 The Fourth itself was the quietest ever remembered. 1t may be that the celebrators had become surfefed with the noise of the several days before the holiday arrived. The business sec tion was almost deserted. People went to nearby resorts, the theatre, Rose land Park and Alcxander's Lake, and 10 clam bakes held hereabouts.
 Only two casualties were reported. The two victims were treated at the Day kimball Hospital. The most se-

STREET LABORERS
Putnam Pays Smallest Hourly Wage But Gives More
 Hours Employment.

According to a dispatch Co The Pa triot from it's Washington correspon- dent, recent survey of the depart s.sens ef ii.hnr shows that the wages paid street laborers in Putnam is the lowest of any city in the state. Put nam pays it's street department men 3S.9 cents per hour. The highest rate paid in the state Is seventy-five cents per hour. Putnam's week IS fifty four hours. This is more hours em- ployment than given in other cities. Danielson. borough, pays the same wage as Putnam.
 While Putnam pays less than the larger cities no trouble is experienced in getting laborers. If the compari- son of the smaller cities with the larg- CT cities is Co be made intelligently and effectively. then the comparative cost of living should also be made
 In the smaller cities the dollar goes much further than in the larger cit ses. This is especially so in the case of rent. much lower in city the size of Putnam than in such cities as Hartford, New Haven and Greenwich. The last named city pays it's laborers the highest rate in the state, seventy five cents per hour. Oniy six cities in addition t0 Putnam, employ street la- borers fifty-four hours per week.
