CHICAGO ILL

The nation is watching Chicago
with interest now and wondering if
the big town will really clean out
those rats nests of murderous gang
sters. AS long as they killed each
other at the rate of nearly 100 a
year, ran booze and levied contribu-
tiOns on small business places the
authorities of the city seemed to re-
main pretty calm. They cOntented
themselves with saying that Chicago
is not as bad as some other cities
propOrtiOnately- that prohibi-
tion is to be blamed for it all any
way. Silas Strawn recently voiced
the feeling of many when he said it
would be we'll if the gang wars were
even more sanguinary, so that they
might kill each other off. But at
las tthey branched out in their kill
ing. They killed an employee of
great newspaper, and in short time
hundreds of hoOdlums were in Jail.
Is it a flash in the pan again? PeO-
pie are wondering. Those gangsters
have been rounded up before. They
are rather used to it. A lot of them
have friends and relatives on the
police force The bad birds are well
known. The question is whether
Chicago is yet mad enough, and
ashamed enough, to stamp out these
parasitic crime organizations.-The
Pathfinder.

HERE'S A MERCHANT WHO
KNEW HOW

There was an old geezer and he had
a lot of sense,
He started up a business on a dollar
eighty cents.
The dollar for stock, and the eighty
for an ad
Brought him three lovely dollars in
q day, by dad!
Well, he bought more goods and a
little more space,
And he played that system with a
smile on his face.
The customers flocked to his two
by-fOur
And soon he had to hustle for reg
ular store.
Up on the square where the people
pass
He gobbled up corner that was all
plate glass.
He fixed up the windows with the
best that he had,
And told them all about it in a half
page ad.
He soon had 'em coming and he nev-
er, never quit,
And he wouldn't cut down on his
ads one Jlt,
And he's kept things humping in
the town ever since,
And everybody calls him the Mer-
chant Prince.
Some say it's luck but that's all
bunk
Why he was doing business when
times were punk.
People have to purchase and the
geezer was wise
For he knew the way to get 'em was
to advertise.

GRANDMA WAYBACK SAYS

Before we were married Pa usta
offer me a penny for my thoughts,
but now he often offers me $5 to
shut up.
Marrying without love is worse
than going shopping without any
money.
The reason some women don't
brag about their husbands is that
they are ashamed to brag about
nothing.
It's easy to laugh at worries when
they belong to somebody else.
Many a chip off the old block to-
day needs to be taken out to the

John B. SpitZel of South Main street, New Britain, has found time from the tedious duties of owning and running one of Kensington's s barber shops to take much more than passing interest in the de- velopment of aviation.
 For many years he has studied aviation with a view to making air travel safer and now feels that he has attained his greatest ambition, since he has patented a safety de- vice which he claims will allow a pilot or passenger in an airplaine to make safer landing in the event of unforeseen trouble in the course of 6 flight.
 While he would not discuss the mechanics of the device. wishing to await the construction of a working model which he hopes 10 complete in a short time, he did state to- day that the contrivance would be a semi-automatic affair and would as sure the pilot or passengers safe passage to the ground.
 Several New Haven capitalists have shown a keen interest in the matter, according to MT. Spitzel, and these men are constantly in touch with him in the development of his idea
 Mir. Spitzel is well known both in New Britain and Kensington but his many friends will be surprised to learn of his interest in aeronautics and will be looking forward to the time when his device will have been proved successful

For Thursday the first lady paid
an unexpected visit to the one-room
schoolhouse near the PRESIDENT
Rapidan camp. She had elected to
visit the children on a regular
school day rather than on the final
day of the term, as they had ex-
pected.
The native shyness of the noun
tain children quickly disappeared
before the graciousness Of their Wis
itor, who warmly congratulated
Miss Catherine Vest, the teacher,
upon the work accomplished.
The days routine was set aside
while Mrs. Hoover talked with the
children about their studies, their
childish interests and the mountains
which are closest to their hearts.
Only brief exercises were held TO-
day. there being mo commence
ment or even graduation" as Miss
Vest put it.

 ting averages. As the Newmatics started the game with only eight regular players and a boy whom they picked up to fill in. they would have lost the game by forfeit had they outscored the Universals.
 Frank Nestor did the hurling for the Landers team which was with out the service of several regulars Due to the onesidedness of the sarle all of the Landers players on hand were put into play.
 Nestor had the Machinists con- pletely subdued and 1t was not un- til the ninth inning that he yielded a run. This might have been cut off had his fielders been q little more alert when chasing "Stanhead" Bud hicks drive to right center which went for triple and scored Matty Hayes, who had singled, from first.
 The Newmatics accomplished one outstanding thing, however, as they executed triple play, the first of the season for the league With Charlow on third and W. Pricsscr on second and none out in the fifth both runners started to advance and Vincent bunted. The ball went on the fly to Anderson who tossed to second 1T. time to catch Preisser before he had a chance to get back. Then the ball was thrown to third in time to catch Charlow who had slid into the plate not knowing that he bunt had been fly and had been caught.
 The Landers team was called upon to bear down but once and came through in fine style. In the seventh, Hayes, Budnick and Anderson singled in succession to fill the bases with no outs. Nestor famed the next batter and made the following man ground to him. He tossed to Ostertag to get the man coming from third and the catcher got the ball to Fitzpatrick in time to rail the batter.
 Billy Priesser. Lindgren, E. Matis and Budnick led the hitters with three hits apiece.
