TANNED NURSE NEEDED.
Health Officer Mcclellan Points Out the Need to the Bridgeport Board of Health


 Health Officer Mcclellan of Bridge port in his report for November made to the board of health Tuesday night recommended very strongly the ap- pointment of trained nurse to give 'her whole time to visiting the schools for ferreting out the sources of in lection of all communicable diseases, to discovering and reporting physical defects that interfere with the schol- ars' progress in the school. to visiting families in some instances and giving elementary instruction in the care of children, says the Telegram.
 During the summer months, he said, she could be employed in endeavoring to lessen the number of children an nually sacrificed to bad management, errors of diet, etc.
 He spoke of this in connection with the difficulty in tracing the sources of infection in scarlet fever in the schools. He said that the sources of infection are in the unrecognized cases of scar let fever that are always present in the community. He had endeavored to have the teacher assist him as much as possible, but they were not trained and their regular duties occu- py all of their attention

The Congregational church in Led
 yard has begun the one hundredth
 year of it's work and usefulness in New London county under favorable au-
 spices. Ledyard was originally North
 Groton, and at one time was a cor
 porate part of New London, says the Hartford Times. The first church in North Groton was authorized by act of the general court in May, 1725, upon the petition of John Morgan and fellow residents of the community It's first pastor, the Rev. Ebenezer Punderson, was destined to play an important part in the establishment of the Epis- copacy in Connecticut. He was the son of Thomas Punderson of New Ha- ven and the grandson of John Punder- son, Jr, of New Haven, and graduated from college in 1726. He was born in New Haven Sept. F. 17O5. He was called to the North Groton pastorate Aug. 2S, 1729, at the age of "A, and was ordained Dec. 25 of that year. The ordination sermon was preached by the Rev.

BOTTOMS SON
Plans to Become a Jesuit-vTo Begin Fifteen Years Novitiate at Pouah- keepsie.


 The Bridgeport Farmer says: Neil Boyton, eldest son of Capt. Paul Boy ton, the intrepid globe trotter and fa- nous snowman, has entered St. Am drew's novitiate, Poughkeepsiet N. Y, the first step towards devoting his life to the Catholic priesthood. He expects to spend 15 years in prepara- tion for his reception into the order of the Society of Jesus, it having been his ambition for years to become a Jesuit. MT. Boyton's step is not alto gether unexpected among his intimate friends, for his devoutly religious na- ture had won him much respect and admiration.
 MT. Boyton was graduated from the academic department of Holy Cross in 1907. Outside of his college life. he made his home with his parents, who have summered in Bridgeport for sev- erl years, his father being the man ager of Steeplechase island for George c. Tilyou. Actively associated with his father in the management of the shore resort he made a wide acquaint- ance in local business circles, and in the summer season the houseboat on which his parents lived became a gathering place for his former associ- ates in Holy Cross.
 During his Bridgeport residence MT. BoytOn has been a pariShiOner of St. Mary's church, and it was under the direction of his confessor. Rev. John F. Murphy, rector of St. Mary's. that he perfected his plans to enter the priesthood. With his college equip ment. it would take but a few years in philosophy and theology for MT. Boyton to become eligible to holy or ders, but preferring the more rigorous and spiritual life of the Jesuits, he has set out on his 15 years of ardu ous application to become eligible to admission to the Society of Jesus. Mir. Boyton is 25 years old, and the oldest of four sons of Captain and Mrs. Boy ton, the second of whom, Paul, Jr., died a year ago, a student at Villa nova.
 The step of their oldest son is a source of unbounded pleasure to Cap tain and Mrs. Boyton, both of whom are devout Catholics. Captain Boyton is known the world over, having originated a number of aquatic spec tacles in the show world, making him among the best-known figures in cir GUS life. For many years he has been ! soldier of fortune, but of late he has led a more retired life. his principal duties being confined to the summer season when he supervises Steeple- chase island. He has become inde- wealthy through his amuse- nent enterprises and sound business Judgment.

ALFALFA IN CONNECTICUT.
Colonel Jarvis of Berlin Finds It a
 Profitable Crop

Col Charles M. Jarvis of Berlin,
 talked in favor of alfalfa as a New
 England farm crop, at the meeting of
 the state board of agriculture in New Haven, emphasizing and confirming the statements heretofore made by him on the subject He said:
 T have moved for three years from two to three acres of alfalfa, getting from it three crops annually, the total yield being about five tons of we'll cured alfalfa per annum per acre and the field Is better this year than it was last year, and better last year than it was the preceding year. Fur ther l have fifteen acres in addition to the above, which was sowed in the fall of 1907, and which was cut three times this year, with a total yield of four tons to the acre. I have twenty acres more that is going to winter in good shape, so I expect to have next summer close to forty acres of alfalfa on my farm. Remember that the past three years have been most unsatis- factory ones, owing to small amount of rain and generally unfavorable condi- tions."
 Colonel Jarvis is cutting five tons a year of alfalfa from his farm and recokns the net value of the crop to him at $75 an acre. He is convinced that it is a more profitable crop than tobacco in Connecticut and he wants the farmers of the state generally to profit by his experience. These are his rules for it's cultivation:
 T. The soil must be lined, and the lime should be applied at least thirty days before the seed is sown
 "2. Bacteria must be applied from a field of growing alfala at the rate of 800 pounds to the acre
 "3. Alfalfa should be sown in Con necticut not later than September 1, and as near August 1 as possible; that is. assuming that you are sow ing it without a nursing crop,
 A. If you want to SOW alfalfa in the spring. SOW it with barley or oats as a nursing crop. Cut the barley or the oats as they come into milk for hay, and do not let them go to grain. In curing your alfalfa cut it after the dew is off in the morning and bunch it up in the afternoon before the dew falls, and put cap over it to let it cure in the cock. In this way the leaves will adhere to the stalks, as the leaves are the best part of the alfalfa"

PROFESSOR DoDGE's WORK.
Wesleyan Professor Is Experimenting
 in Paris-CordialIy Received.

Professor Dodge of Wesleyan is do- Ing experimental work in the labora- tory of the Marcy physiological insti. tute, just outside of Paris, according to the Middletown Sun. Having found that no experimental work was being done in the university of Paris. where he had expected to study. Professor Dodge went to the institute His re- ception was remarkably cordial, due to the fame which Wesleyan's name bears in Paris because of the we'll known achievements of Professors Atwater and Benedict. Professor Dodge will probably return to Gottingen about the middle of December and at Easter he will exhibit some of his apparatus, made at Wesleyan, before the Con gress of Experimentalists in Inns bruck. This is the outcome of some very successful demonstration experi- ments in the Berlin university phy- chological laboratory among a num- Der of eminent psychologists last fall. The university of. Berlin has procured some of Professor Dodges apparatus for It's own use.

When the engine was started again the machine had come down SO near to the surface that 1t was seen by coast guard. whose declaration that he had seen an airshop in the night was re- ceived with skepticism.
 It is recalled that at about the time the sensational trip Is alleged to have been made, persons in various parts of Connecticut reported the passage of an airship in the night of which no clue was ever received
 While the story sounds incredible. 1t will not do to assume that it was impossible.
