Sehoo street. made a herioc attack on a burglar, Monday night, when she re. turned from mailing a letter in q mailbox across the street to find an unknown man in the house rifiing q box in which the days receipts from the filling station nearby are kept.
 Mrs. Dennler started hostilities by throwing a heavy silver candlestick at the intruder and then grappling with him. When he got his arms about her neck and started to choke her she sunk her teeth into his hand. 1T you catch that man.. she told the police, "I am sure l can identify him and you will also be able to identify him by the marks of my teeth on his hand"
 During the struggle Mrs. Dennler managed to overturn the cash box so that all of the coins were strewn over the floor. She also grabbed hold of the roll of bills the man had in his hand. These were torn in the fight for their possession. Feeling that the unequal struggle could not go on much longer Mrs. Dennler shouted Come down heer, Georgel Come quickm Although there was nc George" in the house the woman's call for help served it's purpose. The young man released Mrs. Dennler Shouting. "You d-witch" he left the house. The police were notified and an officer responded.

JOLSON AND BERLIN
 COLLABORATE ON
 MINSTREL ROMANCE

The two most famous men in the entertainment world, Al Jolson and Irving Berlin. collaborated on the Warner Brothers. and Vitaphone Technicolor production, Nanny which comes Tuesday and Wednesday to the Bradley Theatre.
 Jolson is undisputed master of the singing stage and screen and the one who almost single handed, upset the entire motion picture industry with the original Vitaphone picture, "The Jazz Singer" No other singing come dian has ever had such hold on the public. No imitator has ever yet been able to successfully do the things
Putnam patriot., 1930-05-01

that Jolson does with an audience.
 Irving Berlin occupies the same position in the song-writing field that Jolson holds on stage and screen. Un- til Jolson asked Berlin to collaborate on Nanny. Berlin had not cast his lot with pictures.
 The two have never before worked together on one production so that Nanny is for that reason alone, one of the most remarkable offerings in screen history.

People Went A MayinR With Music
 and the Blowing of Horns

 it was ancientiy the custom for all ranks of people to go out Maying on the first day of May. They arose before sunrise and, accompanied with music and blowing of horns, walked to some neighboring fields or woods and gathered branches of trees and flowers of which they made crowns to crowr themselves. The Ro- mans decorated their houses, gates and churches with boughs and flowers from which the English and New Eng land fashion derived. They used to honor their Goddess Flora" with such ceremonies, and named her Goddess of Fruits"
 "Mightie Flora, Goddesse of fresh
 flowers,
 Which clothed hath the soyle in
 lustie greene, Make buds spring, with her sweete
 flowers,
 By influence of the sunne-shine."

a mans heart is through his stomach.
1t was perfect meal and both men
praised the dainty cock: Afterward
while Jack did bit of writing COnny
sat with Norman on the porch in the
moonlight and by every vile she knew
coaxed the story of the broken en-.
gagement out of her guest. Norman
was frank; he was hurt, his dignity
was threatened. Hortense had gone
riding with Leland Yates in that red
sport car of his, and Leland Yates
was anathema. He couldn't stand for
it, his girl parading before the public
eye with Leland YatesI No he hadn't
given her chance to explain, he had
just told her they better call things
off. And she had. No, he hadn't been
unduly suspicious; Of course he hadn't
seen her with Leland, but he had
heard about it, every detail; how they
had stopped at the Willow Tree inn
for lunch. At that Norman snorted.
81 wonder" COMFY inquired very
softly, 'if it could have been your
Aunt Dora who saw Leland and Hor.
tense tOgether?"
"Yes, it was," exploded Norman.
"She happened to be passing the inn
in Mrs. Banks car when HOrtense and
that man came out to get into that
speedster."
But" purred COMFY. II wonder If
she told you that Helen Warner was

now made up her mind that-shc will,

rose on the air. 1t was Hortense's
violin. She was playing "Con

"You better 60 and ask Hortense.
She'll tell you the TRUTH" Connie said
firmly. IF she never forgives you re-
member it is your fault because you
didn't go to her like a man in the
first place.
Norman went. And as he departed
Connie flew to Miss Plopper's. She
bounced in upon the spinster with fire
in her eyes.
"Norman's gone back to Hortense,
she blazed. "NOw l am going to tell
you something"
The commotion that ensued was ter.
ribly exciting. But COMFY. keyed up
to do her best, had the match marrer
beaten forty ways. She had gathered
more than one scrap Of information
from Norman.
"Just because your Immature sent

Uttered your whole life you've no

her final shot as she departed.
Then she ran home to cry on Jacks
shoulder. leaving the match marrer to

Ambrosia Poor Second
to Good Golden Corn

They could not touch us, those old
IArcadians, in the matter OF living well,
nor, indeed, could the Olympians. Who
would trade heap Of Golden Bantam
sweet corn, for example, for a ton OF
the poets ambrosia? Nothing doing.
Nor in Longfellow's POLITICALLY de-
scribed dreamful land, or in any other
land, did human beings ever enjoy
the quality and variety of Natures
food that Americans enjoy.
Nothing so lifts the spirit, stirs the
ambition and satisfies the palate as
the tender, timely roastin' ear; flanked
by sweet potatoes, rich red tomatoes,
with brown fried chicken on the side,
with gooseberry marmalade or cur
rant jelly and hot biscuits. Lucullus,
could he have lived and dined any
where in the Ohio or Miami valleys,
might have established real reputa-
ton.
: Nothing like it-except in thousands
of other blessed American valley
lands.
And breakfast: The colors of the
sunset and the sea are the colors OF
the cantaloupe, and it's delectable,
teasing odor wooes US even as the
soft breath of a maiden sweetheart;
and it's flavor is born of the moon
light and the dews of heaven welded
with the sunlight and the sweeping
rains.
Or maybe you will prefer water
melon. Green glory and fiame-hued
CONCEALED sweetness, that is what wa
termelon is; and it is not, never was
and never will be criminal or wrong
for lads to sneak 'em from burdened
patch in the dark Of the moon, or any
other old time If they can get away
with it.
And all these blessings, known only
in restricted, emasculated measure to
the dim Arcadians, are ours to have
and to hold-as much Of 'em as we can
hold, which in a normal Christian adult
is a plenty.
And with them we have the holly
hooks, HIBISCUS, the surfaced daisy,
the ripping of the rivers and the call
ing Of the birds. What more could
mortal wish?-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Odd Water Bug

The water boatman, an aquatic bug,
is found in enormous numbers in lakes
near Mexico City. 1t swims on the
top of the water and it is supposed to
be able to see an enemy coming from
any direction. Because Of hairy
filament which covers its body and
contains thin film Of air, it can live
under water for long time. The
eggs are laid under water and are
attached to weeds. The natives use
these eggs with meal in making cakes.
Adult bugs are also eaten by the
natives.
