STATE POLICE MAKE
 IMPORTANT CAPTURE
Edward Cildard and Emil Bra nek of Putnam Confess Sew
 eral Breaks

Edward Gildard and Emil Branek, both twenty-two years old. both mar ried and both residents of Putnam, by their confessions Co the state police. have cleared up long series of burglaries and thefts up and down the Quinebaug river The two men were bound over to the superior court under bonds of S5.000 each by Jus tice Percy r. Tourtellotte oi North Grosvenordale, Saturday morning, when probable cause of charge of burglary while armed was found against the pair.
 The arrest of the young men came about when they were passing through Pascoag at an early hour last Thursday morning. They could not show satisfactory registration of their automobile. Further investigation disclosed a pinch bar and a hammer. It has since been learned that these articles were taken from a mill in Putnam when the men left their jobs without permission late Thursday night. The registration plates on the ear were for Putnam service station. In the car was another set of number plates belonging to a garage in Moo sup.
 Both Confess
 When the Connecticut State Police took the two men into custody 1t was not long before they had confession to series of burglaries from North Grosvenordale to Jewett City that has been hothering and baffling the of fieers for some weeks. As result of confessions the officers recovered on South Meadow street in this city four automobile tires, eighteen cartons of cigarettes. eight boxes of cigars and six gallons of oil stolen from the Plouffe filling station at North Gros venordale. This station was robbed twice, according to the admissions of Gildard and Branek, once on the night of April 1 6 and once six weeks before that date They admit they were armed when these burglaries oc- cured This makes their crime more serious and was the reason for their being arraigned in North Grosvenor- dale in the first instance.
 Another place raided was Jeo Sim mons filling station in Central Vil- ] lage. They also admitted a raid on iit AdfNHhb ltAtAAlE HAAAARiA III AdtAA~ field. From these places they stole cigars. cigarettes automobile tires and a battery.
 Pistol and Rifle
 The men worked as far south as Jewett City where they broke into the i Jewett City creamery and stole a pis- l tol and rife. Posing as mill opera tives and working part of the time they have used the late hours of the night on burglary jobs throughout this section. It is said that the pair had three old automobiles they have been using in their raids.
 The capture of these two men is one of the most important made by the state police in some time. They were arraigned in the city court of Putnam last Friday morning. The cases were indefinitely continued to allow of their being presented on the more serious charges in North Gros- venordale.

MANY PACKAGES
LEFT BEHIND. BY
STAGE TRAVELLERS

Absent minded patrons of the
Pickwick lines cause a large loss to
themselves, and lot of work for
the FL Centre office each week, ac-
cording to Arnold Blackburn, agent
here, by leaving all sorts of cloth
ing and parcels lying about the wait
ing room and in the busses.
During the hot weather months
hundreds of articles are turned in at
the FL Centre office by drivers, only
a part of which are ever returned
to the owners. In the winter months,
Blackburn declared. people are not
so apt to leave articles of clothing
since they usually wear them.
Every Tuesday morning the lost
articles marked with the date, AMI
stage and town they were found III,
arc sent to the main office of the
company at San Francisco, where if
uncallcd for after certain period of
time, they are put up for sale or de
stroycd.
This morning saw several women s
coats and a half dozen men S hats
sent to the northern office, together
with several packages. AS general
rule the women forget their coats,
and the men their hats, while both
have a tendency to leave packages
behind them, Blackburn said.

DRIVE CAREFULLY

1t is not too early for a reminder to
motorists that the city schools will open
next week.
In the past El Centre has been FORUM
ate in that few cases Of children being
injured by motorists have occurred.
Having grown somewhat negligent
during the summer months, when it is un-
necessary for car drivers to heed the
warning signs near schools, it behooves
them within the next few days again to
resume the practice of driving slowly
and carefully in the school zones.
While every effort is made by the
school authorities to impress upon the
children the necessity Of crossing streets
carefully, one cannot expect rules and
laws to make perfect impression upon
the youngsters. They are as likely as
ever to bound across the street without
looking.
The burden of being careful must of
necessity rest with the motorist. No driv-
er wants to injure another person, partic-
ularly child, who may be crippled for
life. The way to be certain to avoid such
an occurrence is to drive slowly and care
fully.

THE RIGHT SPIRIT

Argentine Republic going through the
throes of revolution. will hold the ad-
miration of the world if the new regime
maintains the policy pursued since the
successful coup of last Saturday.
In public statement issued by Gener-
al Jose E. Uriburu, provisional president,
he disclaims any intent by the new gov
ment to wreak vengeance on former Pres
ident Irigoyen or any of his followers
now held as hostages.
The new president carefully explains
that while leaders of the old regime are
prisoners, they are not being mistreated
there is no intention of forfeiting their
lives, and that they will be permitted to
go their way as soon as the new govern
ment has been firmly established.
Further. he pledged himself to restore
the civilian and constitutional govern
ment promptly after conditions have per-
mitted a general election.
This policy is considerably at variance
with the usual order of revolutions, the
leaders of which generally believe it
their duty to execute all who disagree
with them.
Argentine is following the path of the
United States at the close OF the Civil
War, when the fullest clemency was eX-
tended to the leaders of the Confederacy
and no mans life was claimed because
he had risen in revolt against the govern
ment.
1t is the only sane way and will do
much to maintain for Argentine, the
high opinion which it holds among other
nations of the world

2 dandy, big she'll 1t was nearly as
large as tub and was the kind of
Il she'll that a clam lives in.
The very thing for my wife.'
cried Uncle Wiggily, hopping toward
the shell, which was stuck up on
edge in the sand like a sun umbrella.
&" But it is so large that shall have
to fasten scaweed rope to 1t and
get the children to help me drag
il up to the bungalow. SO ! can get
il in the auto to take Nome.
Unclc Wiggily hoped closer to
the shell to look az it. From behind
hill OF sand the Wolf skunk closer
to the rabbit. Then Uncle Wiggily
noticed that there were two shells,
the lower one being in little pool
Of water, and in the lower shell was
Mr Clam himself The Clam had
been washed up. on shore from the
deep sea and had opened his top
she'll, hoping IA wave would bang
against it and wash him back again.
For he must live in the ocean and
not on land.
Uncle Wiggily stood close to the
lower shell and was surprised to see
Mr.. Clam in it. The rabbit was go
ing to ask the sea creature if he
knew where there was an old empty
shell as large as'his when, all of a
sudden, the Wolf made a jump to
nibble the rabbit.
"Quick, Uncle Wiggily, cried
the Clam. ''Get in my lower she'll
and I'll save you'll The rabbit
stepped into the pool of water and
into the big shell where Mr.. Clam
lived. At the same time the sea
creature lowered the top shell down
over the rabbit like tin cover,
shutting him up inside where the
Wolf couldn t get him. 1t was dark
and clammy inside the shell, but
Uncle Wiggily didn't mind it for a
little while.
LAS soon as the Wolf goes away
I'll open and let YOU out, - said Mr..
Clam. Meanwhile, make yourself
at home.
So the rabbit did, sitting on one
of the Clam ears, while outside
the Wolf snarled and growled. But
he couldn t get the rabbit. And

ing noodles at the chocolate cake,

BE CALfFORNFlNS

For an old lady who is celebrating her
Soth birthday today, California is getting
along splendidly and gives every indica-
tion of becoming spryer and more eff
clent IN every way as the years roll on.
1t was 80 years ago today that Calfor-
MIA was admitted to the United States
and in honor of the event the day is OBJ
served as holiday Not so much is this
the case in Southern California. and it is
hard to explain why. In the north the
days significance is recognized and it
ranks with Fourth of July or any other
holiday in Importance.
Eighty years after it became the infant
among the states, California finds itself
leader. 1t is the Promised Land toward
which many in other and less favored
states, look upon with longing and a de-
termination that some day they will num-
Der themselves among those who have
found contentment and happiness in the
Golden West.
Too many of us who are here, take
things for granted. We fail to appreci-
ate the struggles and tribulations of
those who have gone before. to make
California history, we shirk the response
blllties which we owe to the California
of the present and we ignore the fact that
1t Is our duty to pass on to those who
come after us, better California
1t is well to think on Admission Day,
Just what California means, or should
mean to US. The maj jority Of us come
from other states, whom we look upon as
on mother. We are proud of being Tex
ans, hentucklans, or natives of any other
state. That is right and there is no fault
to find. However, there comes a time in
the lives Of men when their mothers take
second place to the women of their
choice. So it should be in our relations
with the state. Once here we should be-
come Californians in letter and spirit,
proud of her past and present glory and
eager to do our share toward making her
in every way, the leader among the states
Of the Union.
