The most severe storm of the sea son was ushered in Sunday morn ing. The snow and sleet driven by stiff gale tied up traffic and kept local people close to their firesides9 at home throughout the day. The state highway men were out and kept the main road open. but the side roads were filled with foot of snow and slush. The gutters were filled with water and it was next to impossible to get from one side of the street to the other with out boots Some cars were stalled and the driv- CTS were soaking wet before they could get them moving. Fred Kal- tonback, manager of the Economy store slid from the road in his car in Terryville and 1t took two hours on the main road. The town work CTS were out early this morning opening up the drains and sluces to take care of the thaw today.

In other words, her nominal sentence will be penal servitude for life. In actual practice. for all criminals reprieved. 1t means about 20 years. But wo- men who have become mothers are usually let go sooner. Sometimes al- most at once.
 Would End Grim Farce
 The object of Miss Picton-Tur- bervill was to prevent any more such horrible scenes in q British court room. Her bill prohibits the passing of the death sentence upon expect- ant mothers. She asked members to take notice that the bill did not re- lieve them of any sentence of im- prisonment they might be called upon to endure. The law already in force prohibited the execution of expectant mothers. The practice was. as stated. to give a reprieve and no woman thus caught in the tolls of the law had been executed for 70 years.
 But as the law stood. no matter how Sextenuating the circumstances. nor how strong the jury's recommen- dalton to mercy, the judge had no

BRISTOL Absolve Driver Of
 Blame In Accident
Myers Freed on Order of Assistant Prosecuting At
 tOrney Edward J. Quinlan

Following an Investigation, As- sistant Prosecuting Attorney Edward J. Quinlan to-day decided that Arr thur Myers of Upson street. this city, was not responsible for the accident on. the night of February z. in which owen McCabe, a passenger in his car, was seriously injured.
 Myers car skidded on the trolley tracks on Park street, and then crashed into the curb turning over. McCabe, who was riding in the back seat was taken to the Bristol hos pital following the accident. At first, 1t was thought that his skull was fractured but X-ray pictures taken the next day showed that there was no fracture. He has since been dis charged from the hospital.

Her bill gave the mother tie opportunity of stating passed. Tn the event that this was found to be correct. the death sen- tence would not be passed at all.
 She begged the members to con- slder the effect of a death sentence not only upon the mother. biit upon the unborn, but living child. The shock to the mother might well prove to be disastrous to the child and affect it's whole life. ttem with great disfavor. Sue mentioned human judge, who so hated his task, that he begged the woman not to listen to a word Of the sentence and mumbled it In such manner that none could understand what he was saying. Ih Scotland. the death sentence had not been passed upon an ex- pectant mother for 150 years.
 Her Speech unopposed
 The sp,nker said she had been told that nearly always when a
 
 she did so because she had been rendered desperate by desertion and Restitution. It might almost be said that a woman in such a position. unable to find food or shelter. committed the crime for lovc of her suffering child.
 Miss Picton-Turbervill suddenly stopped speaking. No one rose to oppose. The speaker asked for the names of those who backed the bill. She read out list of members of all parties. The speaker called for ayes" There was q rousing thun- der of them, former Premier Lloyd- George being heard above ali the rest. There was call for the Nos" Deep silence.

London.-In the midst of a hum drum session of the British House of Commons the other night, the at- nosphere and setting of criminal court, when sentence of death was about to be pronounced upon per- son convicted of murder. was sud denly brought into the chamber. M P.'s who were walking about. sat down. Men who were seated took their feet down from the desks were gossipping suddenly sat silent and rigid.
 In their minds eye they saw q dun, drear court room. They saw the trial judge put fiat piece of black cloth on his wig. They heard him in trembling accents sentence the criminal in the dock Ito be taken thence and hanged by the neck until you are dead and may God have mercy on your soul!" The member of parliament who wrought this magic in the House of Commons was Miss Edith Picton- Turbervill, tall. distinguished, mid dle-aged woman, soberly garbed in black, who in quiet tones, without sensationalism, but, nevertheless, in voice charged with deep emotion. was pleading for favorable hearing for bill she had just introduced. It was a private members bill And ordinarily q private members bill has little chance for consideration. But amid tense silence the house unanimously gave the bill it's first reading and 1t was advanced well on It's way to passage.
 A Descendant of AristOcrats
 Miss Picton-Turbervill is the descendant of an old aristocratic family. which dates back to one of the knights who accompanied Will liam the Conqueror. She is the daughter of the late Colonel J. Pic tom TurbervIll of Enemmy Priory, Glamorgan, and granddaughter of Sir Grenville Temple. baronet. Reared in luxury. the natural infer ence would be that she was speak ing from the Tory benches where most of the old landed aristocracy arc seated. But not at all. She Is the labor M. P. for the Wrekin di- vision.
 Her action and her bill were in- spired by a recent terrible tragic farce. A woman, an expectant mother. was wretchedIy poor. She had made heroic efforts to provide food and shelter for her nine months old babe. but without success. Tn the end she killed the child by gas poisoning. The facts were clear. She was, of course, convicted of murder. The judge had nothing to do but

George Pullman s Sleeping Car Changed
 TraDeling Habits And Built Big Lndustr,


 Did you ever stop to think how many men would he unemployed today if the average American had no more personal possessions than he had. say. 100 years ago? No radio. no movies, no photograph. refrigerator. no camera, no auto mobile, none of the thousand things we regard as necessities to- day?
 With modern manufacturing methods. all the things that were regard q as necessary in 1880 could be created by a mere hand- fui of workmen. But men have ideas. and these create new needs, and new needs create jobs. One of many such men was George Pull- man, of sleeping car fame, and the story of his idea is told here.
