BANDITS HOLDS UP
 GAS STATION MAN
Masked Gunman Snatches SlO Bill From Ray
 COughlin

Armed robbery, which police had hoped was stamped out here as a result of last months series of arrests, made it's appearance in Waterbury again last night when a lone bandit held up gas station at II o'clock, and escaped with $1O in a car driven by a con federate. The lone gunmaN forced a gas station employe, Ray Cough lin, 25, of Il South street, into a washroom, snatched a $10 bill from his hand, and escaped without mak- ing any attempt to open the cash register or to pick up an envelope, containing change, which Coughlin had dropped.
 Investigation by the detective bureau today failed to shed any new light on the crime. Coushlin caught only a momentary glimpse of the bandit before he was forced at gunpoint, to turn his back and step into the washroom. A moment later, as the bandit ran from the station, Coughlin got out of the washroom in time to see the holdup man, believed to be about 20 years of age. hop into a car which was

FIREMEN ANSWER
 MIDDLEBURY CALL

Tiremen of the headquarters chemical company had a ride that was at once freezing and thrilling, as they answered a telephone alarm from Middlebury early last night but the fire was out when they arrived, making the trip all in vain and leaving the fire-fighters to cover their ears as best they could on the return trip.
 The alarm came in when an oil burner fire threatened the home of Thomas Dwyer on the Southbury road in Middlebury. Since it was known that no water was available near the home, the chemical en- zine was sent, but firenen found when they completed the more than five mile run that the blaze had already been extinguished.

"Oh, no. answered Uncle Wiggi-

see, Nurse Jane, all that is needed
to make little robin come out of
the blue egg is to keep the egg
warm for about two or three weeks.
That brings TO life the tiny little
bird inside the egg. 1t will grow
larger and stronger and pick its
way out"
That's wonderful" said Nurse
Jane. But how are you going to
keep that blue egg Warm?"
Il am going to put it in the box,
with a soft cloth and some cotton,
and set it near the hot water boiler

gentleman. "A gentle, moist heat

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE BLUE
EGG

One day when Uncle Wiggily
was hopping around in the woods
near his hollow stump bungalow, he
saw on the ground a beautiful lit
tie blue egg. 1t was on soft
cushion of green moss beneath a
pine tree.
"Oh, hol" exclaimed the rabbit
gentleman, "here is a robins egg.
1t must have fallen out of the nest
in one of these trees"
Uncle Wiggily looked up amid the
tree branches, but he could see no
nest from which the blue egg might
have fallen. Birds nest are not
easy to see when there are leaves
on the trees. The birds purposely
build their nests so they will be
hidden.
This may have come from a
nest long way from here" said
the rabbit gentleman as he care
fully picked up the little blue egg.
THE mother robin, in cuddling
down on her other eggs, from which
she wants to hatch little birds, may
have accidentally knocked this egg
out Of the nest. Then the wind may
have blown it here. If I could see
the nest from which this egg has
fallen. I would put it back in and
then the mother bird could hatch
out her little one. But as I can't
find the nest, I'll take the egg
home"
Egg in His Pocket
Carefully putting the egg in his
pocket where it would not get
broken, Uncle Wiggily hoped tc
his bungalow.
Nurse Jane" he said to his musk
rat lady housekeeper, have you a
little box and some nice, soft cot
ton and a bit of rag?"

PLANTING Of
PALO VERDE
SEEDS URGED

According to the tree planting
committee of the El Centre Cham
Der of Commerce, now is the time
to plant the seeds of the Palo
Verde tree, to fill in gaps" In
many places along the sidewalks
and streets. the trees are missing,
and those who desire to have a
perfect row of trees in front Of
their property, can insure the same
now by planting Palo Verde seeds
and keeping them moist for a
couple of weeks termination can
be hastened. it is stated by filing
slightly the ends of the seed, max
ing the penetration of water easier.
Several seeds should be planted, so
that at least one seed will be sure
to germinate. If too many trees
appear, the excess trees can easily
be transplanted elsewhere and are
much needed throughout the city.
It is essential that the seeds be
kept moist until they germinate,
and this can be easily accomplished
by putting some mulch or cover
over the place where the seeds are
planted. A folded piece of news
paper does admirably.
The City of El Centro is doing
similar planting to fill in gaps in
some Of the rows of trees under its
care.
Palo Verde seeds can be found
in the city, beneath any
of the mature trees or in trees two
years or more in age Three or
four seeds to place are sufficient
to insure at least one healthy seed
ling.

MOB MENACES
AGED COUPLE

ERIE, Pa, July Is. WP) -- A 60
year-old bridegroom and his 60
year-old bride came to Erie today
to ask District Attorney Mortimer E.
Graham's protection after a mob
stormed their residence at Cory,
Pa, Saturday night.
Julius Sweitzer and wife, whom
he married 10 days ago, covered in
an upstairs room of their duplex
apartment while the mob hurled
stones and piece of iron through
windows, ripped the porch apart,
and limited tarring and feathering
by rolling a street repair truck,
loaded with smoking tar and a bag
of feathers, to the curb in front of
the house.
The mob, which began as a group
of a dozen men adjourned from
Saturday night beer parlors to the
aged mans home, apparently was
angered over Sweitzer's marriage to
the woman % years his senior.
Resentment against the mar
riage mounted steadily in Cory
during the past 10 days. 1t was
aggravated by the slayinge two days
before the marriage, of Lawrence
Field. Field was shot to death al

TOO MUCH LENIENCY

1t is so unusual for a convict sentenced
IN California to life Imprisonment to
serve the maximum term, that it justifies
comment on such case when it does oc-
cur.
Death last week ended the term of one
Herman Gallagher, after he had served
Sc years in state prison. Gallagher was
81 when he died, and entered prison Nov
ember Is, 1899.
Strange as it may seem, Gallagher
was not guilty of murder. He was con-
yicted of firing shot at his employer,
inflicting a flesh wound, and the charge
was assault with intent to commit muir
der.
The penalty paid by Gallagher is in
terrific contrast to the punishment met
ed out to many of those guilty of more
serious crimes than he was. Accounts
of the case do not so state, but it is quite
likely he had row with his employer,
or grieved over some injury, real or fam
cied, and in a fit of anger fired the shot
which put him behind the prison bars for
the rest Of his life. The last few years
he had been confined to the prison hos
pital.
Gallagher never asked for parole,
which probably explains why he served
such long time. Such are the whlms Of
fate and parole boards that he probably
wouldn't have received parole if he had
asked for it. The privilege seems to be
reserved for professional criminals, such
as Herbert Wilson, the minister turned
killer and bandit, and numerous motor
ious characters who have been given
their freedom only to commit other and
usually more serious crimes.
The state is about to embark on the
construction of new prison buildings,
made necessary by the overcrowded con-
dition of those already existing. 1t would
hardly be necessary to go to this expense
if all "life sentences" imposed in this
state, really meant that and if the parole
board would tougher up. Criminals
know that a life sentence" seldom
means as much as 10 years, and usually
means great deal less, and that where
life sentences or other sentences are con-
cerned, the parole board can be counted
upon to be lenient.
If the state made its penalties mean
what they are termed and required the
maximum to be served in all aggravated
cases, prison population would shrink
heavily. We are paying the price, and
stiff one, for too much leniency.
Boston bans bathers walking on the
road as menace to motorists whose at
tention is distracted from their driving
duties. That is clever way of Dragging
about feminine beauty.
