Get an eyefu of the sylvan beauty, Sallying streams which abound; And draped across it's southern border Good old Long Island Sound. Come down to Connecticut in huckleberry time, It isn't far from Portland, Maine; See its colonial mansions from way way back, Its fields of waving grain. The old state gives you lots of scenery, Naples and elns both broad and tall; Come to Connecticut in the summer time That's the best time of all.

CLUBS REDUCE
DELINQUENCY

Juvenile delinquency in Wash
ington has been decreased sharply
as a result of the activities Of the
Metropolitan Police Boys Club.
Major Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent Of police, told members OF
the American Business Club yes
terday at a luncheon meeting.
Declaring precinct records show
ed juvenile delinquency was being
reduced in every section OF the
city affected by the club, Major
Brown said one of the primary OBJ
jectives had been to prevent boys
from fearing policemen. Illustra-
ting this point, he said:
Zone of our best detectives,
Tom Sweeney, tells this one.
Tom was born and raised in
section of Washington which
used to be known as Cow
Town When ne was q boy he
generally ran when he saw .
policeman-like all other boys
of that heighbOrhoOd. So. one
day, just after ne was appointed
to the police force he was stand
ing on a street corner in Cow
Town talking with some old
friends Along came another
policeman. and one of the fellows
Tom was talking to yelled
Cheese it. Here comes a cOp!
The entire bunch, including Tom
Sweeney, ran down the street"
