NORWALK MEN MISSING CHANCE FOR TRAINING U. S. Government Pays All Expenses for Month at Camp Devens. N 0 LOCAL MEN ATTEND Other Cities Grasping Big Opportunity—Lieut. Sher- wood at Armory. Young men in Norwalk between the ages of 16 and 35 years do not seem to take advantage of the opportunity offered by the United Statcs govvrn- ment in the Citizens military training camps. which will be held at Camp Devens from August 1 to the 30. Last year not one of the local young men attended this camp. In other cities they seem to Jump at the opportunity. The men at Camp Dovens an under no expense. as all expenses including railroad fare is .naid by tho government. When “my roach the camp they are furnishcd with a complete outfit and start on a months training. I This camp is attended by many High School students in other cities throughout New England. In speak- ing of the camp last year Lieutenant. Sherwood of Battery C. who was an instructor at that camp stated that it was wonderful to witness the re- sults that were accomplished. lie told of hundreds of hollow chested. round-shouldered lads who came in- ot the camp and a month later loft for their homes with straight should- ers and military step. In some cases you would not know that it was the same lad. Parents are invited to at- tend the camp and see how their son lived. There are several local sources from which information can be ob- tained about the camp. Those wishing to obtain applications can do so. by getting in touch with Captain John Keogh, Lieutenant Sherwood who will be at the Armory “'cdncsdny evenings for this purpose and who wil be able to give full details re- garding the camp or Commander LeRoy D. Downs of the local Post of the American Legion. It is hoped that a large delega- tion of local young men will take the opportunity this year and leave for Cal-rip Devens on August 1. Any of the above men will be glad to fur- nish any information that is desired about the Training Camp. Wall .

GOOD CAFETERIA Clifford Must Be Replaced —Says Three Hotels Did Fine Business Here. “Norwaik certainly needs another hotel. It needs another hotel right now. If a now. moderate price hotel is not built here soon the growth of the city will be retarded and really nothing, should stop its growth be- cause we have advantages hero social and commercial that are not passed by othcr Conectlcut cities." This is the statement made today by Judge “'llliam F. Tammany in spcaklng of the future of the city of which he is Corporation Counsel. "A loo-room. hotel with moderate prices." he added. “will be a great inipr‘tus to Norwnlk's fast increasing population. "There is no ground for all this talk about Nor-walk not being able to snppnrt such hotel. for when the city was not. onc-hnlf as large as it is today three hntcls did a. flourishing business. "The dostroying of the Clifford left us without a. conimcrical hotel and that is what we need now, a hotel to ropincc lht‘ Clifford. “\Vc nnt only need, but we must have another hotel. A good commer- cial IlOUSf‘. centrally located and I must insist moderately priced.

A powerful gray touring car, bear- ing a New York license plate, last night drove up to the Kernan home on Mansfield avenue. Darlen. An at- tractive young woman stepped out of the car dashed into the house and came out again with a four-year-old boy. Before the guardians of the boy. Mr. and Mrs. E. N.

The Stamford police. and communi- ties between Dar-ten and Sew York, were notified to watch for the big bearing license number 751212.

Whether the boy is Dorothy Man- ner's child by another marriage or whether she uses only her profession- al name could not be determined last night. - It was ascertained. however. that last April Dorothy Manners gave over into the custody of a wealthy Darien woman. either by a court order or of her own violation. her son. Carlos. The Darien woman whose name could not be learned last night was to take the child abroad. She failed, however. to get a passport for the boy in time, for the sailing date. She turned the boy over to the custody of the Kermans and sailed for Europe. According to Constable Martin Shanghnessy. Dorothy Manners was to appear before HobateJudge Mark Norman in Darien next Saturday to prove her ability to care properly for the child. Some time ago it was reported. Miss Manners learned that .her son was'not abroad as she had supposed. .but had been placed in the care of the Kermans. She is said to have .made several ineffectual attempts to get the boy back. Information early this morning gave Dorothy Manners' address as the Hotel Brevoort, Eighth street and Fifth avenue, New'Yo'rk'.

DANCER, BUT NOT A FIGHTER for Trouble Hero and Gets It. Young Mulligan. local fighter. scored a knockout Monday afternoon that will not go down in his record. A well-known dancer from Stamford who spends most of his time at the dancing pavilion at Roton Point stepped into Burdick'a lunch wagon, where Young Mulligan is employed. and in a loud voice declared he wanted to put the gloves on with someone. Mulligan stated that he had a pair of boxing gloves in the lunch wagon and that he would gg out back of the lunch wagon and box for a short while with him. The dancer jumped at this opportunity to show his wares as a mitt artist. So the men donned the gloves and went to the back yard. Then the fun began. The dancer started dancing. He stuck a couple of hard ones over on Mulligan, who decided right then and there to put an end to the bout. He then started a barrage on the "danc- ing sheik from Stamford." and in a short time the dancer stopped dancirc. He was "out.” It was necessary to get a. pail of water to bring back his reasoning faculties. According to those who saw him last he will not be seen at the Roton dancing pavilion for some time. He has also decided to be more careful about challenging the ”wide. wide world" hereafter. Co]. E. K. Coulter Now ith Godfrey Post The regular meeting of the Frank 0. Godfrey Post. No. 12.
