Moving Equipment This Week; Old P. O.
 Closes Saturday
Colgrove and Assistants Doing Smooth JOb-Decks, Boxes and Files Shifted to Old Boston Furniture Store Building At the Junction.

Uncle Sam is moving. After hav- ing his mall sent to Grand street for 26 years, he is going to try and feel at home at the familiar junction, Scovill, Brook and South Main streets. It's tough to leave the old homestead, but the sus- taining thought is a cheerful one. Within a few months he will be back on Grand street, to bigger and bette- quarters and without a "reformed' pie station for his parcel post quarters.
 The general public is not to un- derstand. however, that Uncle sam has officially moved until Post master A. N. Colgrove has issued . Formal announcement of the change. From all indications. how ever, the present post once VIII close at 8 o'clock next saturday night and the temporary once at the corner of Scovill ana bro0k streets will be open to the puDIlc Sunday morning. Desks are peing dismantled at present and moved to the new site. Box holders heeo not worry. They will ma Tn the temporary quarters an exact duph- cation of the present layout III tne old office and as a matter or 1act boxes used by big mail receivers will be shifted to Scovill street.
 Twenty-six years have passed since Uncle Sam experienced a nov ing day. It will be a novelty to many of the present staff, but there are . few veterans on the payroll, who worked in the P. O. when IL was located on North Main street back in 1905.
 Carpenters and painters are add ing the finishing touches to the temporary quarters at present. Postmaster Colgrove has sent in an outline of his plans to Washington, D. C., for approval. He will issue a formal statement acquainting the public with the necessary facts at the proper time. Mail will be re- ceived and stamps sold at the pres- ent quarters as usual next Satur- day up to the usual hours. If the plans are sanctioned and no ''hitches" developed Uncle Sam will be at home Sunday morning to all his friends, customers and visitors.
 To-day desks were being made secure and properly marked for im- mediate shipment. The basement of the present federal building has been emptied of records and &C., cumulation of articles for years past. Within a few hours the change-over can be completed. The postal authorities will be unable to equal the record of the telephone company for "cut in," but the job when completed will be just as ef-

that his well that had but little

FALSE ALARM
SUSPECT HELD
Negro Arrested by Cops
After Chase.

Alleged to have sounded a false
alarm from a fire call box at Roose-
welt and Columbia avenues, James
Clegg, Negro, 30, of 1925 NIassachu-
sets avenue, was held by police to-
day.
Clegg, charged with drunkenness
and vagrancy, was captured at mid
night by patrolmen George Lowe
and John Ambuhl and members of
a fire squad who answered the false
alarm.
Clegg fled down an alley and re-
fused to talk after his capture.
Another Negro also is held as a
fake fire alarm suspect. He is
Dennis Harsley, 80, of 2348 Shriver
avenue, being questioned today by
detectives. Police did not reveal
where Harsley was arrested.
Arrest of the Negroes marked
continuation of the police and fire
department drive to prosecute per-
sons who turn in the fake calls.
Sunday night another false alarm
was turned in from a call box at
Coe and Locke streets.
Twenty false alarms have been
turned in this month, raising the
years total to 433.

Breath is sweetened: tongue cleared;

appetite and energy return; how
digestion improves.
The action of CaScaretS is sure,
complete, helpful to everyone. They
are made from caScara, which doc
