LAW ENFORCEMENT

The police car filled with head quarters detectives pulled up beside the meek little man in the modest Ford sedan. and brahdishing their revolvers the officers commanded him to pull up to the curb. The meek little man obeyed.
 Got any dope in this car2" roared the detective spokesman.
 "Why. mol" gasped the bewildered little man.
 Any booze?"
 "No, sir"
 Got any pineapples or tear-bombs or smoke machines or sawed-off shot guns or machine guns aboard2"
 'No, certainly not. I'm a peaceful, law-abiding citizen"
 "All right, l guess we'll have to let you go. Wait q minute! Say, you ain't acquainted with Scarface Booz- inski or Gashouse Zazunkus are you?"
 Il should say not, indignantly re torted the man.
 "Well, then. let's take him to the cooler boys" said the detective, ad- dressing his companions, 'I noticed one of his headlights is out of align ment. ."-The Pathfinder.

OUR OWN STATE IN
 NATIONS CAPITAL
Items From Washington That Touch And Concern
 Connecticut
(crif6n'. News Burea.)

Special to The Putnam Patriot: saved $l2,420,000 through the de- feat of the Thomas amendment, ac- cording to information presented to the Senate by Senator David l. Walsh on behalf of Senator Tydings of Mary land.
 The Thomas amendment proposed the removal of oil from the free list and the placing of a duty of one dol lar per barrel on that commodity.
 Recognizing the figures for 1928 as the average annual consumption, Sen ator Tydings estimated that the added cost of oil to the people of Connecti- cut, had the Thomas amendment been approved, would have amounted to SIP, 2,420.000 in round numbers each year.
 Spindles Active
 Connecticut's cotton spinning spin dies were the most active in New England during February, according to a report compiled by the census bureau and made public by the de- pertinent of commerce.
 Of the 1,074,536 spinning spindles in place in mills of the state on Feb ruary 2Sth, a total of 969,27 spin dles were active during the month an appregate of 1s2, ,36l ,162 spindles hours, or an average of ITO active spindle hours per spindle in place.
 Connecticut has only one automo- bile for every five and one-twelfth residents while the United States as a whole boasts one motor vehicle for for every four and one-half persons, according to an analysis of estimates of population in 1928 by the census bureau and of automobile registra- tions of 1929 just made public by the department of agriculture.
 The agriculture department figures state that in 1929 a total of 32s,06 motor vehicles were registered in Con neeticut upon which the state collected S7,992,755 in fees. The state ranked twenty-ffth of the forty-eight in the humber of such registrations.
 Census bureau estimates place the 1928 population of Connecticut at L. 667 900 and a comparison of these figures with the number of automo- piles registered indicates that there was one motor vehicle for every five and one-twelfth residents in the state.
 P. O. Automobiles
 Passenger automobiles for the post offices at Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport would be provided by a bill presented to the Senate by Sen ator George II. Moses of New Hamp- shire.
 The Moses bill would authorize the purchase and maintenance of passen- ger-carrying automobiles for use at post offices having gross receipts of S1 100000 or more, and Hartford, New Haven and Bridgeport fall with in this class.
 The automobiles, according to the provisions of the Moses measure, would be for the official use of post masters and their assistants in con neetion with the supervision of the postal service. and would not cost more than S750 each. The measure would provide for the purchase of the automobiles immediately upon the ap- proval of Congress and the President, the money for the carrying out of the act to come from the unexpended balance of the post office department appropriation for vehicle service.
 There are sixty-six cities m the nation which would receive automo- hies under tha proposal, according to the latest available figures at the post office department.

Nash New Twin
 Ignition Eight
Superior Engine Performance With Unprecedented Eeonomy.-High
 Advanced Fuel Pump

The engineering of the fuel supply and it's control, which met the exact ing needs of modern motorists. is one of the most interesting and important automotive advancements of the year. according to c. II. Bliss, Sales Man ager of The Nash Motors Company.
 He made a brief outline, today. of the salient points which have brought Nash Twin Ignition Eight carbure- ton to its present commanding place in :he engineering world. for the benefit of those experienced motorists whose deep interest in the 1880 cars lies in their more technical mechan- ical development
 "The fact that superior engine per formance together with unprecedented economy has been brought about in the Twin Ignition Eight by the use of a dual manifold, which operates as though carbureting two four-eyiinder motors, is feature which has caused wide comment in engineering circles, !" he said. "The success of this system, operating with highly advanced fuel pump which provides steady, positive. and exactly proportiontte gasoline
  supply under all driving conditions, is a definite step forward in per feeting carburetion.
 Marked Advantages
 "The twin manifold has marked advantages. It simplifes the prob lem of distributing gas evenly to all eight cylinders, adds it's double effect iveness to that of Twin Ignition and positively equalizes the fuel supply. Both automatic and hand regulated heating of the manifold are provided in this new system and three gas jets are employed to bring about un- altering economy of fuel through every driving range. A low speed jet cares for perfect carburetion when the motor is idling or pulling slowly under heavy load. As the speed in creases to normal driving ranges. a second jet takes up the task and me ters the proper amount of fuel to the cylinders. When the speed reaches fifty miles an hour, new 'high-high' jet cuts in automatically and supplies exactly the right amount of fuel through the higher speed ranges.
 "The adoption of a fuel pump in- stead of the conventional vacuum tank is an advancement of prime im- portance. This pump. operating from the cam shaft, delivers fuel to the carhuretor from the gasoline storage tank under constant pressure; pre- vents motor starvation on hills or under heavy loads and keeps twin ignition eight carburetion at peak efficiency at all times"

PALM SUNDAY
Bearing of Palms Memorialixes the Receiving of Christ Into
 Jerusalem

Ride onl ride on in majesty Harki all the tribes Hosanna cry; . Saviour meek. pursue Thy road With palms and scattered garments
 strow'd."
 Ride on ride on in majesty. In lowly pomp ride on to die: Q Christ, Thy triumphs now begin Der captive death and conquered
 sim
 Ride on ride on in majestyl The angel armies of the sky Look down with sad and wondering
 eyes
 To see the approaching sacrifice" Ride onl ride on in majestyi Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh; The father on His sapphire throne Expects His own anointed Son" Ride onl ride on in majesty! In lowly pomp ride on to die; Bow Thy meek head to mortal pain Then take. o Lord, Thy power, and
 reign"
 Bearing of Palms
 The bearing of palms on Palm Sun day, the fifth Sunday in Lent, is ir memory of the receiving of Christ in to Jerusalen a little before his deatt and that we may have the same desire to receive him into our hearts. The boughs of palm trees used to be ear ried in procession, in imitation oi those the Jews strewed in the way oi Christ. These boughs, or branche: of palms underwent regular bless ing. The nalm-tree was common 1T Judea. growing everywhere by tho wayside.

 A Prayer
 A prayer for Palm Sunday used ir the early church:
 Almighty eternal God, who at the pouring out of the fioude diddest de clare to thy servant Noe by the mouthe of dove, bearing an olive branch. that peace was restorede agavne upon earth, we humblye be seche thee that thy truthe may sane tifie these Floures and Branches, ant slips Of Palms, or bowes of treei which we offer before the presence of thy glory; that the devoute people bearing them in their hands, ma, meryte to optaine the grace of thy benediction.

E. C. Rogers Opens
 Inn Coffee Shop
A Better Glass Restaurant for Quick Service Connected with the Hotel
 Meets Growing Demand

Landlord F. c. Rogers of the Put nam Inn on Monday opened Coffee Shop in connection with the hotel. The Shop is in charge of Charles Bender, well known Boston chef. who had charge of opening all of the Georgian chain of restaurants in the Hub. Mir. Bender will also have charge of the main dining room.
 "The new shop. said Mir. Rogers, is to fill a demand of the travelling public as well as to give this city q better kind of restaurant service for those who know and appreciate good food. we'll prepared and we'll served. Nicely balanced and carefully chosen business mems luncheons will be serv- ed every day. besides a regular la carte service.
 There has been an increasing de- mand upon progressive hotels through out the country for quick but high class dining service. Hotels always try to give people what they want. It is found that there are many people who eat light breakfasts. They do not like to go into the main dining room of hotel and order nothing but doughnuts and coffee, or fruit and cereal: with possibly mullins or some other light morning meal. Nor do they like to hunt about strange city to find q suitable res taurant. The same applies at other times of the day. Quick service with out losing any of the quality that the better class of hotels provide is in constant demand. It is to meet this demand that I have opened this new Coffee Shop" said Mir Rogers.
 The Local Angle
 From the purely local angle NIT. Rogers said that he felt that Putnam deserves such a service as he proposes to give in his new restaurant There are many people who like to eat good meal at reasonable price. They do not wish for the full course din- ner but a well balanced meal such as our business mems luncheon. with a change of bill daily, will afford. Soup, with an appetizing entire, desert and coffee. at a popular price is greatly in demand by both men and women and by motorists. The Inn Coffee ehop is ready to serve this trade.
 The new toHee chop aS arranged. There is a counter with stool chairs and number of neatly arranged tables. The counters and tables are finished in mahogany and the walls tinted light cream shade, making q harmonizing contrast.
 NIT. Rogers has recently invested a substantial sum to improve the hotel kitchen and 1t is now second to none. People are invited to inspect the new restaurant and also to look over the well appointed kitchen at any time. An visitors will be courteousiy re- coived.

Furniture Is
Now heVogue

The present tendency in modern
decoration requires the use fcolor-
full furniture throughout the house
to the floors. A tabourette
and maya zine rack in Chinese Red; /;
an occasional table in DELPHI; a
smoking stand in Jade Green may
prove just the added color your iv-
ing.room needs to make it ia shion-
ably correct and comfortable.
Use FLEX-the new color finish
for the home-and you'll be sur
prised how well you can do the work
yourself, even without any exper-
ience. 1t doesn't require experience
or skill to paint with FLEX, any
one can apply it successfully the
very first time. 1t can be brushed
this way and that way without
showing a single lap or brush-mark,
yet it dries very quickly before dust
can settle on its finish and mar its
lustrous sheen.
Twenty colors, are provided in
the FLEX color line. Your own
dealer probably has them all. Other
combinations and tints can be pro-
,duced simply by mixing two or
more colors of FLEX to produce the
exact variation or shade you wish.
The wearability of FLEX is an
other of its many virtues. 1t forms
a surface so tough that the hardest
wear makes but little impression
on it. FLEX is a real find for the
housewife.
