COMEDY OF ERRORS
 INVOLVES FORD CAR
Auto Reported Stolen Taken by Mistake by a Hungry
 Business Man
Police Get Busy When Woman
 Reports Loss

4 hungry business man who didn't want to walk to George street for his lunch innocently took a Ford car parked in front of the Citizens National Bank and drove home with it Monday noOntime. The owner of the car reported the theft" to the police and they were keeping the wires hot Co all nearby cities and towns when the car appeared again but parked on the opposite side of the city's main thoroughfare.
 Mrs. Ernest Ramsay, wife Of the new pro at the Putnam Country club, drove She Ford to the center of the city. She parked it outside of the bank and went inside. When she came out of the bank the car was gone. She immediately reported her loss to an officer on the street.
 Didn't Want to Walk
 John Cooper. manager of the Wool worth store. had been having trouble with his car. He didn't want to walk home and asked the garage man if 1t would be ready by noon. He was in formed that t would not be ready. The outcome of the conversation was that the garage man agreed to leave a car in front of the Citizens Nation al Bank so that Mir. Cooper could ride.
 When Mir. Cooper was ready for his midday meal he came out of the store. crossed Front street, and there in front of the bank was the Ford. MT. Cooper got into the vehicle and drove to his boarding place. When he disembarked he noticed that the machine was carrying Massachusetts registration plates. How garage man in Connecticut could be operat- ing under a Bay State registration puzzled Mr Cooper and he felt that things were not as they seemed.
 Back to the center of the city drove the hungry business man. ln- stead of parking the car in front of the bank he parked it on the opposite side of the street.
 Car Game Back
 It was not long before the owner of the car discovered it's presence and informed the police that her car was back but was not where she left it. The police were a bit skeptieal. They were inclined to believe that the wom- an was mistaken as to where she originally parked the vehicle.
 Mir. Cooper, however, told his story to the officers and the mystery was solved. The car had been parked as the woman had reported t and the theft was not theft but a mistake in a comedy of errors.

j safely be left to the discretion of
the builder.
1t used to be thought that the
logical location for the garage. was
at the rear of the house. This is a
point hoyever, that can be discussed
only generally, as the individual re-
quirement may make it necessary to
nave the garage elsewhere on the
property, or as part of the resi-
dence itself. Considerable thougk
should be given to the selection of
the site, and the choice should be
influenced by the idea of convent
ence and accessibility from the road
or street.
In deciding upon the size of the
garage, future possible requirements
should be anticipated. Many auto
mobile owners have made a mistake
of building to meet only their pres
ent needs, and when few years
later they have decided to have a
larger car, Vr two ears, they have
found it necessary to make expen-
sive alterations. Even where it is
fairly certain that there will never
be more than one automobile, it is
often good idea to make accom-
nodations for two. There is then
room for visitors automobiles, or
if it is desired, half of the garage
may be rented to a neighbor.
