Italy Doubles Her Tariff.

Ialv promptv answers American tariff by raising her
duties on American autos 100 per On small
for instance her former duty 1000 lire Now il is $4,000
None will blame Italy for retaiatng She must protect
her big Fiat factories.
Il means though fewer American sold in Italy fewer
cars made here and MORE American auto workers out Of
jobs.
Also workers out of jobs will be unable to buy the new
clothes shoes and other things made in America that they
would have bought if employed.
Thus does beneficent tariff law promote prosperity
No use crying We into it with eyes open. The

God and Senator Copeland
And the Naval Treaty.

New Yorks Senator Copeland says:
"A relative of mine told the London naval
treaty a splendid accomplishment to promote
peace, and IUOuld mean less taxes
"That remark typical of a great body Of the

uUho had opportunity to study the treaty bpt had
merely accepted the balderdush of the ardent 0dUo

to agree with his relative.
"Yt is crime" he declares, "that this document
should be so n1isrepresented.
"If there is need for the noUy all WW be IOelI;
but if there is, God pity the United States"
That expresses it,
Providence invoked by Senator Copeland, may pity the
United States but its operations frequently ncrutabe

Every woman is, at heart,
young enough to be a daughter

to the man she loves.
Putting your heart into a

but the modern girl finds that
it saves a lot of wear and tear

Three years of married life
with a suspicious woman or
critical man would destroy the
veracity of a super-saint.
Don't flatter yourself that
your husband is filled with

 Armed with valuable scholastic ex- perience, secured under Coach Otto Smith at r. H. S.. Charlie" easily captured the right end berth on the freshman teams. His second season found him displacing the veteran var sity end to become the best defense man in the line
 After the Amherst game last year Coach Dole made a nasty change in his lineup shifting Harger. a fast defense back to the line and draft ing Charlie" to right half where his splendid showing earned him a permanent position. Fine interfer- anee running coupled with spectaeu- lar pass receiving from Tombari, ace hurler. gained him considerable crea- it and eventually tho '29 captaincy.
 This makes the first election of a r. II. S. graduate to the captaincy of college football club if not of any squad. Knowing Charlie as a clean cut popular chap hereabout we wish him luck in his coming season which promises to be the best ever.

 Ont of the effort to increase the ;ov and pleasure of childhood emerg- sd the clearer vision of the develop r,ent of the child's potential powers through good health.
 II is fitting that at least once a year. we as a community, state and ration should focus our attention mon child health problems; that we should try to help parents and com munities realize their responsibilities for making children healthy, there fore joyous and happy.
 The program of child health can only be carried to completion through the cooperation of all groups. The slogan for this years May Day activ- ;ties of the various groups sponsoring this work in Putnam is Parent Coz operation in Community Child Health and Protection"
 Objectives for Parents
 The local Red Cross organization, the parent-Teacher Association and inc school department through their various representatives are stressing ,he following objectives for parents: Cet acquainted with the teachers of yonr children on or before May Day. Famjliarize yourself with the health nrogram of the Putnam schools. Plan to respect and practice at home the health principles taught in the schools. If you are not member of the Par ent-Teacher Association, May Day will be a good time to join and your children's teachers will be glad to see that you are enrolled.
 Since May Day comes in the school vacation, during the week of May 9th, health will be stressed in the Putnam schools by means of plays, stories and games. No formal out of door celebrations are being planned but the teachers, school nurse and Red Cross nurse are hard at work on projects which are well worth the attention and attendance of every parent and citizen who has the welfare of the Children of Putnam at heart. Fuller details of interesting and instructive features will appear in next weeks Patriot
 Observance Nation wide
 From sporadic community efforts here and there, May Day as Child Health Day has risen from local to state and nationwide observance. President Hoover, recognizing the im- portanee of the child health problem has set forth the ideals toward which to strive in the following Child's Bill of Rights.
 There shall be no child in Ameri- ca that has not been born under pro per conditions; that does not live in hygienie surroundings; that ever suf- fers from der-nourishment; that does not have prompt and efficient medical attention and inspection; that does not receive primary instruction in the elements of hygiene and good health; that does not have the com plete birthright of a sound mind in a sound body; that has not the en- eouragement to express in fupesl measure, the spirit within which is the final endowment of every human being"

LONE BURGLAR
 AT WORK AGAIN
Two Breaks Reported Friday Night. - Third Attempt
 Fails.-Man Seen
Purse and SIS Taken from the
 Yankee Shop

Putnam's mysterious burglar WIS at work again last Friday night. He gained entrance to two stores and at tempted to enter third. At one, the Yankee Shop, in the Kaminsky build ing, Main street, a purse containing Sl3 was stolen. Although the man was seen emerging from the store of Blanchette & Brodeur 1t was fifteen minutes before the police were mo- tified and by that time he had disap- peared. No description of value was furnished by the woman who saw the night prowler.
 The police are convinced that the series of breaks that have occurred in the business section are the work of lone burglar. They believe he IS local man and familiar with the functioning of the night men on duty and takes the time between beats to commit his crimes.
 From what evidence the police picked up during an investigation it is believed that the first break was at the Blanchette & Brodeur store. It was committed shortly after ten O. clock. The man chose a window on the south side of the Peloquin block which is hidden by theatre sign. He broke the window nane, turned the catch and raised the window, gaining entrance Apparently the unknown went at once to the business office in the store.

No Money

The cash drawer and safe were open but all money had been taken away. It appeared that some papers in the safe had been examined but nothing was removed.
 When the burglar made his exit a woman in a nearby house saw him. Instead of calling the police station she telephoned Mir. Brodeur's resi- dence and valuable time was lost. Mir. Brodeur notified the police but when they arrived no one was in sight.
 Further investigation disclosed the break in the Yankee Shop. This store was also entered through a window which had been jimmied. Here the unknown found a purse containing money. He pocketed it and departed through a rear door. Nothing else was disturbed The finding of the purse leads to the belief that the thief was familiar with where it was GUS tomary to hide it.
 There were marks to show that q halI-hearted attempt had been made to gain entrance to the store of the Moss Electrical Company. Heavy bars are used as a protective measure by this company and the burglar did not gain entrance at this place
