* ' GEORGE H.’YOSBURGH—Judge .
Began his career is a» stenograplieré—éHas filled
many, responsibilities in.Norwalk‘—-—Hasno
hobbies except automobillng,
When you look for a. man-who has
served his city well. you turn to
George H. \‘osburgh, judge, lawyer.
Norwalk booster—o. man who obe-
lieves Norwalk is the only place in
the United States in which 'to
live comfortably and where you
meet good fellowship.“ ' '
gJudge Vosburgh, fulfilling ably
each of the many demands,_ made
upon his time from outside busi-
ness. attending to a. large and exact-
ing practice that calls for his great-
est skill and enroachs to a. large
extent upon the time he has en-
deavored to set aside for diversion,
still manages to preserve a. serenity
of temper and an attractiveness of
personality that rates him among
the best liked men in town. He
speaks most optimistically of the
city's future without being obviously
and blatantly of that annoying type
of person portrayed so vividly in the
books by Sinclair Lewis. “’ith ‘n
fine record of past service and in-
tegrity. a successful present and a
promising future he wears not the
mask of pupariority that is the mark
of the Titan of medicore'talents nor
.ihe self—conscious air of the ego-
=tisi.
His career has been a. successful
one. Born August 5th. ’1873 and
educated in the. public schools of
Newark. N. J.. and South Norwalk.
lhis first position was that ‘of a
lstenographer in New York. “'ith
;his knowledge of shorthand and
‘lyplng and his ambition to mount
higher on the ladder of success it
was but natural for him to decide to
study law. reading with General
l’lussell Frost until January. 1896.
when he was admitted to the bar.
For the next ten years he labored
diligently. acquiring legal knowledge
that was to fit him for his later po-
sitions of responsibility. In 1906
he opened up his own office and
felt the same thrill of pride as does
every young professional when he
"first hangs out his shingle." His
career was in the making: ’
From the year 1906 until
1915
(a
. .33.; ::-;.
elm
Hr. Vosburgh attended to the de-
mands of his rapidlygrowing prac-
tise and filled'numerou'a positions of
responsibility in the political life of
the town. But 1915 was ordained to
be one of the most important years
in the young lawyer's life, for it
was then that he was given the
great privilege of wriitng "judge"
before his name. He had attained
the place that is the summit of
each youngv lawyer's ambition. In
the meanwhile he had been filling
a number of important positions.
From the year 1901 until 1911 Judge
Yosburgh was clerk .of the Town
Court of Norwalk and prosecutor
from 1911 to ‘1913. For 15 years he
was chairman of the Probate Com-
mittee of the First district and was
vice president of the old Chautua—
qua Union. Added to these offices.
he was' assessor of the old city of
South Norwalk and was for six
years chairman of the Republican
City Committee and did much
stump speaking during the state
campaigns. At the age of 18 he was
one of the Board of Directors of
the South Norwalk Library. 1
Judge Yoshurgh confesses to
having few hobbies. llomring is
his greatest diversion. Unlike the
majority of American business men
he does not seem to feel that he
should indulge in sports for relief
from business. However, keeping
in mind ‘the extent of his duties
and his great personal popularity
one-feels that he possesses the re-
celpe for success. Integrity, con-
scientious devotion to _duty, loyal.
ty to the interests of his clients and
those wine have honored him by the
trust they have placed in him and
a serenity and genialty that has won
him a. circle of devoted friends and
admirers. ' ,
In Judge Vosburgh. Norwalk
finds a man who has had responsi-
bilities and filled them to the best
ofhls ability. is man who has'shown
himselfworthy of the trust placed

STAMFORD, Conn.,‘Aug. Ia.—

provided for the older boys.
It is expected that regulatidn
.navy equipment will be provided.
Hydroplane instruction will also be
embraced by'the course.-it was said,
but the cadets will not be instruct-
ed in flying. The course will consist
inllearning the control of the planes
and in navigating them about the
waters of the Sound, without the
actual flying. -
~Accommodations will be. provided
for about 250 boys from the age of
fourteen years and upwards. The
complete course in.nautica’.l train-
ing will fit them for the command
of smaller vessels and for- posts as
mates on the larger boats. It is un-
derstood that several applications
have already been made by resi.
dents in vicinities,neighboring on
Stamford. References, high moral
standards. and suitable educational
abilities; are among "the foremost
requlrments for enrollment. Regis-
tration will be national.
The school. which is to'be organ-
ized on the principles set forth and
maintained by the Sim's school, is
founded by a group of men inter-
ested in giving elementary sea. train-
ing to boys not yet old enough to be
cared for by any other established
mode -of preparation for a. career

“Denounces ‘CuthnS' 111’-
—-Must Stop—- Child"
The Misuse of Horn
' "The motor vehicle situation in.
Connecticut. is' getting worse so far
corned." This'is a' statement by
Motor Veh cle Commissioner Rob»
bins B. Sto kel in theAugust bul-
letin of the’de’partment, lust pub-
lished. which deals with bad driv-
ing practices. It is shown by the
bulletin that- recklessness of auto-
mobile operators is responsible for
in this State.
Examination of statistics of
department shows that 10,264. mo-
tor vehicle accidents were reported
up to August 1. More that one-half
of these are found ‘to be due to care-
lessness of child pedestrians in
crossing streets or playing in the
roadway's, negligence on the part of
adult pedestrians in crossing streets
and stepping from behind parked
cars, intoixcation. carelessness of
bicyclists, motormen of trolley cars.
etc., and defective equipment. such
as defbctlve steering apparatus and
brakes. glaring headlights and in-
sufficient light. -
Theonly remedies available. the
commissioner points out. are those
which_have‘ been suggested time
and time. again. namely more cau-
tion and care on the part of all
concerned, more knowledge of traf-
fic hazards and finally insistence by
the police upon reasonable rates of
speed. especially in cities.
Analysis of traffic reports
throughout the .country intlmate
that motor vehicle accidents are re-
ceding. but. taken by yearly periods
this is not apparently th case in
Connecticut. the bulletin y .
"Publicity. education and disclp:
Connecticut as everywhere else,""it
is stated. “Th public is becoming
better warned of‘ the perils with
which they have to cope; children
are better able to take care of
themselves; parents are exercising
more care over them. schools are
teaching the dangers of traffic. and
in general the public is becoming
wide awake to traffic dangers.
"Accordingly the tide of motor
fatalities may be from new on some-
what changed. hot it can hardly be
expected that the number of acci-
dents as a. whole will be much les-
sened. It may be expected that the
consequences of those accidents can
be kept down and that serious acci-
dents rnay be diminished in num~
ber."
Discussing the practice on the
part of drivers of "cutting in." the
bulletin says that in modern traffic
in this state there is no excuse un-
dir- any circumstances for cutting in
and out of traffic. This practice
must be stopped. Commissioner
Stoeckel warns, and there must be
no attempt made to pass any vehicle
whatever where there is. not ample
sight line. especially as regards traf-
fic coming from the opposite direc-
tion. . , -.‘ .-‘.
The bulletin also warns drivers to
be cautious of their use of the horn.
stating that it ought aver to be
used for other purpéses than warn-
ing. Its unnecessary use cheapens it
and makes it less distinctive, itis
pointed out. and consequently it is
not relied upon by the persons “is
intended. to warn. .

Stubby and Button thought it
would be a good idea for Billy to
give a series of lectures on his ad-
ventures. .
\f'l’ou travel and lecture." Stubby
said, “while Button and I will be
your press agents and go ahead and I
find a place to‘r you to lecture in
all the big cities and towns. If you
did this. then Nannie could travel
with you all the time. And I know
you would both like that. Thenjoo
you would. not grow so restless as;
it would keep you on the move all
the time, for we would plan it so
that you would give only three lec-
tures in any one place and then go
on to the next."
"The more I think of it, the more
the idea appeals to me," said But-
ton.
‘\“W'hy not make our journey
north into that kind of a trip right
now?" said Stubby. “We could
send word to Nannie to Journey
south. to meet us."
"It does sound rather attractive."
admitted Billy.
"0f co'urse it docsl" seconded
Button. "And you owe it to the
poor untraveled animals to give out
some of your experiences to them.
to enliven their humdrum lives and
tell- them about the outside world.
Just see what a lot of pleasure the
Dog and Cat.Club gives those stay-
at-homes who have never been out-

tured ten blocks from where they

"Has-k!" exclaimed Billy. “I hear-
Lhe most peculiar whistling. whiz-
zing sound. It sounds up in the
clouds. but I can't see a thing."
"It must be an aeroplane then.
but I can't see a. thing in the sky."
said Button. but as he spoke a huge
dirigible balloon poked its nose out
of a. cloud over their heads. It was
so directly overhead that they could
see every part of it distinctly.
“Isn‘t it a. whale of a balloon?
I never saw as large a one even in
Europe." said Billy.
“Nor I either." said Stubby. full
of wonder at its size. .
“book! It is slowly coming to
earth. I believe they are going to
land over in that clover field." said
Button. "
And sure enough they did. This
great big dlrigible, the first of its
also to cross the-Atlantic Ocean.
was landing right'before their eyes.
"Let us run over and get as near
it news can." Billy said. '
When _the monster airship landed
the Chums were not fifty feet away,
and stood-taking .in everything as it
slowly settled to earth.
Presently little windows andl
doors were seento open in its sides
and DeOPle'came walking out. The
Chums went nearer and found ‘out
by the conversation they overheard
that they were forced to land as
machinery. The longer Billy looked
