Caius Julius Caesar spoke those
momentous words. That great Ro
man-famous for his achievements
as a military commander. as q
statesman, as an orator and as 2
writer-was at q critical juncture in
his career
Born in 100 B. c., he had served
under the Roman standard IN early
manhood-and. beginning in 6s b. c..
he had held many offices and had
received many honors. He had been
Questor. Curule Aedile. Pontifex
Maximus. Pretor. Proprietor. Consul
and P~roconsul. And in all those 20

But Caesars career hao become
enmeshed in the tangled politics Of
Rome. In 60 B. O.. with Pompey ard
Crassus. he had formed the First
Triumvirate" and his political POSI-

absence from Rome on business O.

much OF II. When he learned OF the
opposition IN Rome that threatened
his political overthrow he was moved

left the foreign fighting field and SCI
forth for the Imperial City. WITH
a single legion at his back. he jour

Wooden Costumes Foreten the Sartortal Future
Says

WG10 0aa606
Paris Sponsors the Suit OF
Soft Wooden for the Tray
eler and Stay-at-Home.

VxTOOLEN threads its way
wv through the Summer mode
and spins a yarn about forth
coming fashion events. Withal
this year Of sheer fabrics and cot
ton popularity, material interest
in practical and beautiful wooden
fabrics has not been obviated.
The traveller, for instance, has in
deed lost her fashionable way il
she has not included a costume of
one of the new, softly woven
woolens in her wardrobe.
The dull, creepy woolens OF the cur
rent season, particularly in black, are
prophetic Of the fabrics that will dis
tinguish the Autumn mode. Already
n hears much discussion about black
broadcloth and suede finished fabrics
that characterize Fall models in the
late Paris collections. But il is not
to be assumed that the surface of the
wooden wear group will be entirely
smooth, for very rough tweeds for less
dressy occasions are also being enthusi-
~astically sponsored.
Those who have discovered the lin
itless JOY of the jacket suit this Spring
and Summer will greet with enthusiasm
the report that %couturiers are al the
moment creating l~uxuriously furred
models Of rich, war; fabrics for the
first chill days. Generally the upper
part of the garment bears the sar-
torial responsibility for late chic with
fur imposed on sleeves in leg O. NUT
ton fashion, or as q cuff just below
the elbow, and bloused, bolero and
dolman effects as well as belts and
curved seamings to accentuate the
nipped-in waistline.
And so the suit of today is quite apt
to be significant Of the suit of tomor-
row. One such Is that Of soft tan
wool patterned with dark brown dots
as shown here today. The jacket
fastens at the side with an ornamental
buckle of crystal. F~lattering is the
double collar Of plain tan and indica-
tive of the present and future mode,
the fur cuffs placed on the sleeve just
below the elbow. The skirt il a wrap
around with q slightly uneven hemline.
A many-occasion suit equally desir-
able for the traveller and the stay-at-
home il that of soft dull, black wool.
The coat is cut surplice and ties with
a soft, decorative bow at the side. An
! original conception Of the hip yoke is
offered in this one-sided yoke that com
pletes the slightly f~laring skirt.

Captain of Police Duhreuil assist ed n member Of the state motor vehi= cle department on q check up Of automobile brakes last Thursday af- ternoon. The officers were stationed near the Grove street cemetery. No arrests were made. One driver ap- poared without a license but 1t was found on investigation that his story that he had forgotten it and had it at home was true.
Putnam patriot., 1930-08-21

asked what he had in his pocket and replied that it was a gun Attorney Miron demanded that the gun be re- moved and objected when Officer Scranton made a move to remove 1t. When Officer Scranton was ordered to remove the gun by the court, the gun turned out to be a cigarette case disguised as revolver. Officer Scranton was then recalled and cor roborated Mayors story. Sergeant Gardner, in command of the barracks in the absence of the lieutenant, testi- fled that he knew nothing of the money paid to Mayer. Beaudry then took the stand and admitted to giving Mayer the beer but denied that there had been any sale or any talk of money as Mayer had said that he was having a party and would re- place the beer later His wife corro- borated him in this.
 In summing up, Attorney Miron said that the case came down to a question between the testimony of the witnesses and claimed that Beau- dry was more reliable than Mayer, whom he termed as "disreputable" since. Miron said. he was engaged in a "disreputable business"
 Judge Geissler remarked that he was satisfied that a sale had been transacted as both Mayer and Seran. ton had testified that the former had been searched both before and after entering Beaudry's house and impos fine of S200 and costs on eacf count.
 The courtroom was crowded to it. capacity.
