Four thieves who were spending some days in the town's jail, decided to take time out for rvtra-curricular activity. So one tnty cut their prison bars with a hacksaw, and then robbed a wholesale house. Since their first job was such a success, the quartet decided to make a repeat performance the next night. And they broke into a clothing store. The sheriff, Howard Treado, says that after each excursion they brought their loot back to their cell, probably figuring that it would be the last place the police would think of looking.

And- the sheriff added that, anyway it was hard to get a hotel room cn a Saturday night in Marquette. But the police were caught entirely napping. Someone tipped them off that -oheir guests intended to make a permanent get-away the next and steal a car for their escape. So the sheriff installed new window in the burglars' cell, and recovered three men's suits, four pairs of shoes, two top coats, two suit cases, socks, handkerchiefs and 40 dollars in cash. A first lieutenant In the Army Nurse Corps was the first American woman to win two decorations in the present war, according to the War Department.

COIRA Polio Cases In-Pa. All Children In Adams Co. Are Barred From Public Gatherings Harrisburg, Aug. 22 M.R) The State Health Department had reports today of 59 new infantile paralysis cases, bringing the official number of stricken to 4J9 and the unofficial to more than 500 as the dread malady continued to spread unabated. The disease spread to 48 of the C7 counties since Dr.

A. H. Stewart, department head, received reports of initial cases in Cameron and Columbia counties. He said these additional cases were confirmed in other counties: Berks, Center, Payette Lycoming, Mercer, Mifflin and Washington, all one; Blair Dauphin, Erie, Lackawanna and Somerset, two; Allegheny, Cambria, Susquehanna, Tioga, and York, four; McKean six, and Bradford and Lancaster seven. Philadelphia totals showed the largest discrepancy with official state figures disclosing 48 stricken persons and unofficial 109, all but 10 of which were confirmed.

There was a difference of 15 cases in Allegheny county where the "unofficial number was 113. This would place tfte total at 515, but later outbreaks in other counties, particularly Tioga, would greatly increase the number. The variance is caused by the late arrival of local reports at the department. While Stewart said last week public schools would start the fall term on schedule, Sayre officials already have postponed their opening from Sept. 5 to 18, since the polio peak is not expected until Sept.

17 Constitution Day Harrisburg, Aug. 20 lUR) Gov. Edward Martin today proclaimed Sept. 17 as constitution Day and called on Pennsylvanians to discourage foreign movements within the country by renewing their determination to preserve America's basic principles. "Never in the history of our nation has there been greater need for more loyal adherence to the constitution because under its protection we live as free men," Martin said in urging appropriate ceremonies in homes, churches and schools to commemorate the 157th anniversary of the constitution's adoption.

"Concepts of government foreign to the American ideals are being pushed forward among us," Martin said, "it is our solemn and patriotic duty to renew and strengthen our determination to preserve, protect and defend the constitution and to resist every attempt to undermine or weaken its sacred principles." 'Believe This Is An Industrial Dispute' Harrisburg, Aug. 22 KU.R) State Labor and Industry Secretary William H.

Well, I finally reached a hospital back in Pearl Harbor, and after two weeks there they decided I wasn't any good over there any more, and sent me back here to a hospital in Oakland. The hospital is about 18 miles from San Francisco, and is a swell place.

The only thing wrong is that I have a lot of headaches, do not sleep very well, and am very nervous. When I first came back a little noise would make me jump a mile, but am lots better now. I had three X-rays taken of my head today, but I don't think there is anything wrong because it doesn't bother me much anymore. I don't know what they are going to do with me. I may be discharged, but I may also be given limited service.

Any way, I have a 30-day furlough coming up, maybe a 60-day one, but I don't know when I'll get it. It may take two or three months or more, but I'll get it.

While these American troops slash out toward the Saar, other Allied forces are uonverginjf on the Estuary of the Seine River to deliver the final crushing blow to the battered German Seventh Army.

American iorces pushing down the Seine toward Le Havre have made broad gains. And the Canadians from the west have marched to within just five miles of the mouth of the Seine. The men fighting under the Maple Leaf Banner captured the world faaiot ttach resort of Deau-ville as well as the road junction of Lisieux. Between them, the Allies are herd-ins the last 93,000 Nazis left in this area into a gradually closing pocket, after finishing the job of liquidating the Falaise trap. And the Germans tonight admit the seriousness of their plight iu France.

A top-ranking Nazi military commentator. General Kurt Dittmar, says the Allied victories in France imperil an essential part of the basis of Nazi military power. He admits also that only luck will salvage the present situation for the German Army in France. This is the first time that such a prominent figure has hinted that Germany will not be able to carry on. In Southern France, too, the German situation grows worse.

Allied troops have virtually surrounded Marseilles, the second city of France. And at last reports, the Allied soldiers stood just three miles from the city limit. Another Allied column racing toward the strategic Rhone River Valley has gained 13 miles. But, the Allies do not yet hold the great Naval base of Toulon. And, in a pooled dispatch from the front, the seasoned War Correspondent Herbert Matthews of the New York Times, says flatly that French troops are not inside Toulon, thus contra dicting earlier reports.

He adds that bitter German resistance is continuing. 11.0 Ul I flclUlv "vealed that the patriot army has liberated 50.C00 square miles of land, making up 14 departments of the French Republic.
