BY THE OUT EASTER

The Out Easter doesn't know
much about the fire department
Of the present day.
But there was a time back In
the days OF our own gallant lot
OF volunteers out here, the Brass
Citys, when he knew oil OF the
members OF that now historical
company, and some Of the then
few permanent members attached
TO the few horse drawn companies
OF that time. The Brass Citys
we're an outfit that rode TO fires

old fashioned hack OF years ago.
behind a pair OF fast and good
looking horses with an attach
ment In the rear Of the carry-all
for luggage that allowed for the
proper hitcbing Of the old hose
reel 10 the vehicle In question.
So when two members OF the
present day fire department died
the other day, we recalled the old
days, and thought OF the two
young men who had gone their
way, one by terrible injury sus-
tained In the service, and the
other by reason OF an affliction
that hit him rather suddenly.
Accident In 1927
II Just happened that we knew
Captain Thomas Mcmahon and
Lieut.. John Leary by nm introduc.
ton OF q few years back by our
own we'll known and we'll liked
Tucker McGrath OF the same de-
partment. And we got to know
them very well, so we'll In fact
we were often In their company
afterwards, not so much with
Lieutenant Leary as we were with
Captain Mcmahon. Lieutenant
Leary's accident which cost him
the loss OF both legs back In 1927
Is too well known TO revive. But
before tho accident, he was one OF
the most active OF the flremen, tall
and well built, and good to look at.
His Sufferings In the various years
since the accident are beyond des-
cription. And yet he stood them
ell, hardly without q murmur. He
was that kind OF q person, even
In company, he never complained,
and tried TO be as merry and as
joyful as any OF the others Of the
party. Still, we could see II was
an effort, for every once In
awhile, there was noticeable
twinge, convincing to us he was In
severe pain most OF the time.
Lieutenant Leary died In the serv-
Ice OF the city. there Is no doubt
OF that. The City owes much, we
think. In the line OF compensa-
ton to a person like him, for what
he had TO undergo, and suffer In
the time he was left on earth
after the accident.
North End Boy
The Department will miss Little
Tommy Mcmahon. probably the
best dressed man who ever wore
q department uniform. Not day
passed In service or out OF service
without a change Of dress OH the
part OF this young man. His
clothes were always Of the latest

Good Brakes Important Factor in Avoiding Accidents
Protecting Life Property States, Police Head
in Weekly Statement

OF these figures. You want brakes
that will stop your car when you
want 1t to stop. Be sure your car
Is equipped with good brakes, and
keep them in good condition.
Another thing of great import
ance is the obedience and observ-
ance Of traffic signals. Signal lights
and other traffic signs and signals
are installed to aid and protect the
driver and the occupants Of his car,
Warning Of an intersection is usu-
ally given by a trafflc light or
stop or slow sign.
Beating the Light
"There are drivers who take adj
vanatge Of the automatic signal
light, which makes possible safe
and orderly flow of heavy traffic, by
racing against the red light. These
drivers are usually racing against
another car proceeding properly
across their path with the green
light. No one can understand the
value gained by squeezing past a
light measured against the posi-
bilities of death, injury aund de-
structoin which every act Of cheat
ing invites. Nor can one find any
more reason, even selfish, for fail
ure to observe the warnings given
by Curve" stop" school Zone"
and similar signs. Traffic lights
and other signals are cooperative
rules. They are established so that
the greatest number Of motorists
may proceed with the best possible
speed. Observance Of them Is a mu-
tual necessity.
"No driver has the right to race
light or ignore q signal. No mat
term how careless he may choose to
be Of his own self, he still cannot
divest himself OF his obligations to
his fellow human beings ON the
road. Motorists: Obey traffic sig
nails and help reduce accidents

tailor made type, In good taste and
In keeping with the best OF the
well dressed Of the land. No per-
son In the city, we claim, dressed
better than did Tommy Mcmahon.
In his own personal quarters In
the Waterville station were fur
nishings OF his own selection and
ideas, and bought personally by
him to improve the looks OF the
room. A North End boy, our
memory Is he went into the de-
partment shortly after a fire In
East Main street, In which he
himself was slightly injured while
serving hot coffee to the flremen
who had been at work at fire all
night. Captain Tommy was a most
charitable little fellow. He was al
ways doing something to please;
he got pleasure and contentment
out OF every move made In this d.
rection. With friends, he was
strong on detail. and procedure,
and at every gathering, saw TO 1t
that the arrangements were COM
plete to the very end. Expense was
secondary with him In the proper
set-up for q party, And my, how
he liked TO entertain; his enjoy
ment was your own enjoyment. II
you were having O good time, that
pleased and satisfied him. No one
Just knew how to do the proper
thing at the proper time better
than did Tlmmy Mcmahon.
His elevation to q captaincy was
not long ago. But when he was
appointed, his legion OF friends,
from various walks OF life In the
city. extended the good hand OF
fellow ship, and wished him best
In his new undertaking.
Youngest Officer
There was no reason why Cap
tain Mcmahon should have died
at this time; he was too young to
die; the youngest ofiicer In the
department, we who knew him,
looked for many years OF service
ahead and eventually additional
promotion for him.
We saw him buried, with many
floral pieces resting alongside the
casket, as a remembrance OF the
good will and friendship Of real
good friends. He has gone his way,
Just like Lieutenant Leary.
The Fire Department must 90
on, as II has done since others be-
fore them went the same way Of
all flesh.
Captain Mcmahon and Lleuten-
ant Leary, however, will be missed
and their membership Is sure to
be recalled from time to time by
the present personnel Of the de-
partment.

Mechanical Safety
1.-THE introduction OF four-wheel

the mechanical safety OF motor

comparatively few now, but there

FOR HIGH COURT
No Evidence Offered By
Defendant; Bank Is Ac-
cused Of Violating Law

After a hearing that lasted from
$3.50 a. m. to 2:20 p. m. though only
one witness took the stand, John
DePastino, 4, Of liz Savings street,
was bound over to the next crimi-
nal term Of superior court on an
embezzlement charge. Judge The
obald e. Conway found probable
cause against the prominent war
veteran and fraternal leader.
Charged with embezzling $4,000
from the Meriden Savings Bank
while acting as rental agent for the
bank in this city, DePastino posted
bonds Of $500 to insure his APP
pearance In. Superior Court later In
the month.
President Tcstifies
The only witness to take the
stand was John Nagel, president of
the bank, who testified that De-
Pastino failed to account for $4,000
In rents collected in May and June
Of this year. Mr.. Nagel was sub
jected to grilling cross examina-
ton by Attorney Michael V. Blans-
field of defense counsel.
After Mr.. Nagel had testified that
the banks agreement with DePas-
tino was that he should handle the

for the banks letting him write in

Blansfield commended that this was

that the money was due him from
the bank for services rendered. II
was brought out that his insurance
commissions on insurance taken by
the bank In the last six years was
only $1,000 and that during that
time he collected total rents Of $43,-
900.

tho was supposed TO receive com.
missions for his services, and that
money Is due him from the bank. A
civil suit has been brought against
the bank for damages Of $4,000
representing the difference between
amount retained by Mr.. De Pastinc
and the difference claimed owee
him by the bank.
Judge Conway ruled that the
state had established probable
cause, and that the innocence OF
guilt Of the accused should be de.
cided In the superior court.
