PAWHUSKA, Okla, W.D - The
Jack and the Bean Stalk fable was
given credence here when c. w.

81 inches long, which he had
grown in his home garden. Wilson
received a prize bean from Germany
last year, which measured 90 inches

within two weeks the beans had

POLICE QUESTION
STORY TOLD THEM
BY COAST YOUTH

Richard Rose, f4-year-old Nation
al CITY boy, appeared in the police
station last night TO tell officers
how two men leaped into the car he
was driving through East San Diego
and forced him at the muzzle OF
q,n to drive them to El Centre.
The men threatened his life when
he tried to slow down passing
through towns between San Diego
and El Centre, said the boy. He
could give no description of the men.
The fact that Roses brother-in-
law. whose car he was driving. did
not know he had the car inclined
officers to believe the youth had
merely driven it to Ell Centre, then
come to police with a story he had
concocted.
He told Captain John Mayo ne
was going to visit a friend in East
san Diego when the man stopped
him. but could not give the friends
name or address.
Mayo and S. j. Clark accom-
panied the boy to the city limits
where he said the two men got oui
of his car. They could find nobody
although they patrolled the streets
| for some time.
Rose was sent back to San Diego
with the car.

 Great Success
Seventy=fve Attend Event Conducted By Quassapaug
 Sporting Club

The second annual field day and clambake of the Lake Quassapaug Sporting club was held yesterday at the west shore. Between TO and 80 were in attendance and sat down to the bake late in the aft ernoon. Rainy weather failed to break up the gathering; although it did curtail the many sports events that the committee had ar ranged for the day.
 The bright feature of the day was furnished by the cannon stunt. Herman Steinmetz was fired from the mouth of a cannon built espe- cially for the clubs outing. AL though a trifle bruised and cut up and somewhat the worse for wear
 after being hurled from the mouth
 of the Big Bertha in the back
 lots, "Steinie' was able to figure
 prominently in later aquatic events. The one-man canoe race and diving contest were the only water events able to be run off. William
 slash" Baldwin captured the
 prize in the former, while Herman Steinmetz, Slash" Baldwin, and
 Eddie Barton were adjudged win ners in the diving.
 Originally scheduled to be served | in the open the bake was hnally dished up on the capacious porches of William Stapleton's cottage. Clans and steak sandwiches were
 served in the morning. Late in the afternoon there were steamed clans, sweet and white potatoes

 Years Ago; Bake

Members and Guests Enjoy Birthday Party at South Britain Cabin Speakers Refer to Drum Band as One of "COnnectcut's Historic Pillars

The 164th anniversary of the Mattatuck Drum Band of Water bury was celebrated yesterday at Cass' cabin, South Britain with an old fashioned clam bake. The committee in charge of the affair consisted of George Cass, who pre- pared the bake, assisted by Ralph Pierpont and Frank Kitchenka.
 The guests of honor were Nor ton Pierpont of Waterbury who has materially assisted the drum band. Major Leslie Pierce and Cap- tain George P. Kane of the Putnam PhaIanx of Hartford. Major Pierce complimented the band for the part it played in the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gro- ton Heights and the Burning of New London, celebrated on Labor day. All speakers referred to the outfit as one of Connecticut's his- toric pillars, mentioning that the drum corps was first organized in 1767.
 The spot where the celebration was held was an ideal location, the cabin being situated in the midst of 88 acres of deep forest. The rain did not interfere because the bake was served on the spacious veranda.
