decided that from now on,
when she departs on any sort
of trip whatsoever, she will not
tell any of her friends, either,
where she is going, or when
she leaves. Not so long ago,
Mrs. Thomson prepared to
spend . few days at Mays

friends Of this decision and
also told them that the beach
at Nays Head was composed
Of miles and miles Of sand.
Came the day Of Mrs. Thorn

few came down to the boat to
wave her a farewell. Several
brought bon voyage gifts and
one was q giant sand bucket,

seen q mile away and-Stuffed
with huge pink lollipops. Mrs.
Thomson, so she says, spent
the entire trip explaining to
adult passengers just what
she was doing with the sand

TRUCK TRANSPORT FOR (. N. C. HERE
Connecticut Units Assign= ed to Trains Following
 Protest From N. H.

Waterbury units of the Connec- ticut National Guards will be trans ported to the government camp at Mantle this year in motor trucks, although other contingents will be sent by train.
 Last year the various state units made the trip to Mantle in trucks, but protest from the New Haven Road has resulted in modification of the program for the coming sum- mer.
 Military officials report that the "New Haven" road pointed out 1t was entitled to some of the busi- nes sof transporting troops because in time of war 1t is expected to have enough rolling stock for for troop movements. The truck trans port program resulted in a consid- erable loss of revenue last year. when the more than 5000 Connec- ticut troops travelled in trucks.
 Except for the 102d Infantry and the Coast Artillery, all other Con- necticut units will travel by truck this summer. The 102d Field Artil- lery will leave New London Satur- day for Fort Ethan Allen. Vt, using loi trucks. The regiment will be nl training until July IT. Colonel George A. Wardinski and Colonel George E. Cole, commander of the l18th Quartermaster Regiment, will leave with the advance detachment of the artillery today to supervise the handling of supplies.

PENNILESS WIFE
 SEEKS SUPPORT
Files Action Against Hus- band-ChiIdren AIIeg-
 edIy Desert Mother

An allegedly destitute mother, who has been deserted by her hus- band and several children, today filed suit in the court of common pleas for damages of $5,0oO from the husband, Bernard Bauba, of this city. The plaintiff, Mrs. Gertrude Bauba, also of this city, seeks a weekly support sum, to be fixed by the court of common pleas.
 Mrs. Bauba, in the complaint filed by Attorney Michael V. Blans- field, alleges that she and the de- fendant were married 27 years ago, and raised several children. The children are not now living with her, leaving her poverty-stricken and unable to support herself.
 As a result of the defendants re- fusal to live with her, she continues, she was forced to sell her farm at a great loss after an unsuccessful attempt to run it herself. Her age and infirmities caused her to seek support, according to the complaint.

there was terrific shooting before the six came ont again, smiling.
 The sniping was less intense now as the soldiers moved further down the avenue and entered the third villa. Again there was shooting, then silence. The men were 6 long time coming ont. Finally five of them em- erged, but they were not smiling now.
 On to the next house they went. There they cleaned out the snipers without any losses, but another man was wounded before their work was done along the avenue and the sniping ceased.
 Then the Captain gave the order to march again. I got up and moved on with the patrol while one of the soldiers began playing a guitar that he had brought with him to the war.
 Those few minutes were just arl- other incident in the war, but they gave me the worst scare of bullet jitters I've ever had. I can still hear those bullets singing by my ears.

1. Issuance of fishing permits to all persons 65 or over for only 35 cents.
 ?. Allowance of boy 14-16 years of age to carry a gun and hunt, if father or guardian guarantees re- Sponsihility.
 3. Licensing of ferrets.
 {. Allowance to persons to fish without certificate or license for salt water fish within inland districts.
 Other changes, less important, will be listed in the revised copy of the fish and game laws, which will be available about the middle of August.
 Inquiries
 Numerous requests have been made at the office of the town clerk by men over 65 who are not on the old age pension fund, desirous of obtaining a fishing license for the 35-cent recording charge. Since last year only that amount has been charged those on the pension fund, but effective immediately all persons over 65 be provided for this type license. It will be of the same type and description as the regularly issuel permit.
 A new law that will be welcomed by juvenile hunting enthusiasts IS that which provides that a person holding a hunting license may file with the town clerk declaration of his responsibility for the conduct of his child or ward between the ages of 14-16, and then may take that boy hunting with him. A copy of the responsibility declaration will be attached to the father or guar dian,s licence. Under such circum- stances no more than two guns are to be carried, and no more game is to be taken than the limit for one. Prior to the passabe of this law, no child under the age of 16 was al- lowed to carry gun, and at the age of 16 license is necessary.
 Nom Resident
 Another law listed in the circular provides that licenses are not to be issued to nonresident property owners for the resident fee unless that applicant resides in state extending that privilege to non-resl- dent property owners.
 Ferrets must be licensed, under the new laws. A charge of $l each feryet will be made for license, and dealers in ferrets must pay $5 for a

Boy Becomes Man In Bar Mitzvah Of Jewish Faith

Barton Greenberg, recently chOs- en g the typical Bar Mitzvah boy by the junior order of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish fraternal organiza ton, discl0ses the significance of 600-year-0ld tradition among Or- thodox Jewish people throughout the world.
 Presenting the cOlorfuI cere- mony in the current issue of the picture magazine Look, young Barton shows how a boy, upon reaching the age of 1S, is form ally ushered into the faith of his fathers. Bar Mitzvah consists of a boys leading, after months of preparation, the morning services in the synagogue.
 About a month before he be- comes, 13, a Bar Mitzvah boy is taught to put on the Tallith, a fringed shawl, and the other tra- ditional garments of his faith. His teacher may be the rabbi or an elder in his own family. After Bar Mitzvah . boy becomes re- Sponsible for his own sins. Previ- 0nSly, his parents are responsible for his sins. Thus with Bar Mitz- yah, boy becomes 8 man.
 Putting on the Tefillen is an- other step in preparing to lead the morning services. The Tefil- len are two square black leather boxes, one being worn on the left arm and the the other on the forehead. Each is held in place by special straps, placed in such a way as to spell the Hebrew word "Shadday" or Almighty.
 Whether he worships in the synagogue or at home, every 0r- thodox Jewish man, from the age of 13 on, is obliged to don the Tallith and Tefillen for prayer. He wears them every day except the Sabbath and holidays when he wears only the Tallith, no extra reminder of his religious duties being needed on these especially holy days. For the Orthodox Jewish boys, Bar Mitzvah is the greatest moment in life.

Telegraph Editors Note: Trag- edy and comedy are strangely mixed in the Spanish war zone. News reporters must take their chances with life and death the same as soldiers and civilians. Be- hind their daily dispatches is c0l- Orful background of personal ex- periences, narrow escapes, scenes of horror, and occasionally an inc cident which they recall with . chuckIe. The United Press asked several of its war reporters in Spain to write few of their per- sonal experiences. First to arrive was the story of Reynolds Packard who has represented the U. F. with the Insurgent armies during the first year of the Revolution. It tells of his narrow escape from 'LoyaIist snipers a few days before the fall OfBilbaO.
