ITALIAN KILLED WHEN
HIT BY SWITCH ENGINE
ErcoIe Cerare Run Down on the
Southern Pacific Tracks

While walking along the railroad
tracks near Leroy and Alhambra
streets last night, Ercole Cerare, an
Italian, 81 years old, was struck and
instantly killed bv a Southern Pacific
switch engine. His body was dis
covered lying near the track by his 10
year-old son Michael
Cerare had left his home for a few
minutes to go after his son, who was
a few blocks away. The son told him
to walk ahead and that he would fol-
low him in a few minutes. 1t was
when the son was returning to his
home that he stumbled onto his
fathers dead body. The widow and
son live at 7S1 Lamar street.
The identity of the crew in charge
of the engine was not learned last
night, no report having been made of
the accident.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
My attention having been called to
the Neal Treatment for the cure of
the drink habit, and their claim that
it did cure in three days, ELECTED my
personal investigation, and to do so,
it became necessary for me to send
one of my people to the institute to be
treated. This 1 did, and I am pleased
to say that he was cured perfectly,
and the patient assured me with great
forcefulness that he no longer had the
least inclination to drink, and that all
desire, craving ana appetite for drink
had been taken away. 1t is a grand
good work and great benefit to hu-

CENSUS PAPERS OUT Quizes Issued by Prof. Bailey to Test Candidates Eligi-
 bility for Work
Four Applicants Lacking Connecticut Far Ahead of Other States in Prepara- tions-Examinations Feb ruarV }.

New Haven, Jan. 15.-Today twelve hundred men throughout the state
 aspiring to be census officers
 will knit their brows over a bewilder-
 ing bunch of questions touching upon their eligibility. For in his den on Edgewood avenue, Prof. William
 Bailey, state supervisor of the census, has set in motion the big statistical dynamo which will comb facts from
 the life of every citizen of Connecti- cut.
 The first move of the machine will be to determine who are qualified to enter the competitive examination for census officers which will be held in
 thirty towns February 5. Stacked al-
 most to his chin in papers yesterday
 the census supervisor was sending to the hundreds of applicants the first
 quiz to test their ability. When these
 sheets are returned to the central of
 fee and have been examined, as many as are eligible will be sent
 cards admitting them to the exam nations. These tests will be under the supervision of the civil service boards of the towns which have them, and in places which have no such of- hcers, the postmasters will conduct l the examination.
 | l United States in obtaining a sufficient l number of enumerators promptly. l There are only four towns in the state | from which there are not a sufficient number of applicants now, and only one applicant is lacking in each of | these. Massachusetts is away behind as are many of the states of the mid l dle vest There are eight towns in this state, each of which will use 175 numerators.
 The towns in which examinations will be held are: Bridgeport, Dan- bury, New Haven, Greenwich, Nor walk, Shelton, South Norwalk, Stam- | ford, Bristol, Hartford, New Britain, South Manchester, Torrington, Win sted, Middletown, Ansonia, Derby, Meriden, Milford, Naugatuck, Wal | lingford, Waterbury, New London, Norwich, Rockville, Putnam, Willi- mantle, Litchfield and Haddam.

MISSION FOR ITALIAN PEOPLE IN THE CHURCH
 OF THE HOLY ROSARY

An excellent opportunity will be presented to the Italian people of the city of Bridgeport, to be instructed in the eternal truths of the Catholic religion, through the efforts of mis- sionary fathers, Rev. Emmanuel An astasi and Rev. Roberto Biasotti, who will open a two weeks mission in the Church of the Holy Rosary, East Washington avenue and Harret street, beginning Sunday evening, Jan. 16. This is a most important season for the Italian people, because it is the first mission given in this city for their particular benefit; and this sea- son of Gods grace, instruction in the necessary truths. of our holy faith, and grand opportunity to approach the Sacraments of confession and holy communion, which are now presented d to the Italian people, should be made use of and a grand number of Italian people should attend the daily relig- ious exercises. All the instructions and sermons will be in Italian; and the missionary work of these apostles, Fr. Anastasi and Fr. Biasotti, indi- cates them as preachers of remarkable elOquence and force.
 The first week, Jan. 1923, will be devoted entirely to the benefit of the
 women; the second week, Jan. 24-31 for the benefit o1 the men.
 The exercises each morning will consist of mass at 5 a. m. with short instruction and mass at a. m with short instruction.
 The exercises each evening at z: SC
 D. m. will consist of short instruc-
 ton on some important truth of re- ligion. The recitation of the Rosary followed by 9 sermon and benedic- ton of the most Blessed Sacrament F'r. Ie Toro, the kindly pastor o1 of ait ic dn. | lighted to offer his congregation this grand chance to listen to the word | of God, expounded by charming | preachers, and to urge them to fre- quent the sacraments of confession and holy communion. It is to be | hoped thats his efforts in this way will bring spiritual comfort to many 1 Italian residents, who, no doubt, vii | come in large numbers, to attend tht | first Italian mission in this city.

DRINK CAUSE OF INSANITY
Liquor Responsible for Nearly so Per
Cent Of Patients Admitted In
English Asyiums.

Drink and hereditary influence were
reported as the cause of insanity IN
42.3 per cent. of the cases admitted
into Rainhill asylum, in England, last
year. drink being responsible In 22.8
of the cases, and a clear history OF
hereditary faint in 1915. These re-
markable statistics are contained In
the annual reports OF the county
asylum at Lancaster, Prestwick,
.Rainhill, Nottingham and Winwick.
Just issued.
On the subject of the causes and
the presentation Of lunacy, DR.. Gig
ellsworth, medical superintendent OF
Rainhill, is very outspoken. Refer
ring to the 22.8 per cent. of admissions
for which drink was responsible, DIR.
Wigglesworth says the figure is suf-
Aciently large TO indicate clearly that
havoc which drink makes with the
nervous system, and adds: IF the
evil affected the individual only it
would be bad enough, but %unfortu-
nately there is reason to believe that
1t is often handed ON to the offspring,
owing to the direct poisonous effect
upon the germ of the alcohol circulate
ing in the blood, and that not a little
of the terrible amount of in
stability and degeneracy which we
see around US has its origin in this
cause"
Regarding the 1875 per cent. of ad-
missions in which there is a clear
history of hereditary faint, DR.. Wig.
ellsworth says that no doubt this fig
ure considerably understates the real
influence of heredity. owing to the
diff culty experienced in getting reli-
able accounts of the families Of the
patients.

do it every vacation and like it.
Perhaps I'm sentimental. Some say
it's good quality. However, I've been
taught that there is something the
matter with a man who seeks dollars
to the detriment of culture. religion
and all that goes to make life worth
the living. Perhaps a few years con-
tract with life will drive these very
thoughts of altrism and that sort of
thing from me, but I've got these
ideals now. The money side of exist
ence is not everything.
Our neighborhood is like what man
others are and still more are growing
to be. There are a number of fine
old places that were once kept up by
their owners who lived on them. Now,
many of the owners have died, and
the heirs or other new owners either
rent their farms or HE some II to
farm them.
Despite the fact that this non-res-
ident ownership of farm property
shows the interest which capital has
in the country, | am beginning to re-
gard it as a curse to country commu-
mites. Generally speaking, the rent
er does not make a good neighbor.
About the only desirable ones are
those who are renting to get a start.
Take our community, for instance.
For a mile or two along the road is a
row of these people. They rarely go
TO church, their usual sunday occupa
tons are breaking colts and receiving
company. They have no libraries.
They eat little. There is hardly a
thing | have in common with them.
Thus, the idea of having to live with
them for an entire lifetime does not
appeal to me. There are some of the
old families in the neighborhood, but
their children are being trained for
the professions, while their parents
are thinking of moving to town.
| don't think it is over-sentimental-
ity that makes me think, in common
with other young men of my age
about marriage and a home-life of
my OWN. So | question myself: DO
| want to take my ideal of a woman
into such a n~eighborhood, to associate
with such %neighbors?" We may be
sufficient unto ourselves until the
glamour wears off; but there will be
trouble then. Again, / sometimes ask
do | want my children to grow up in
such an environments
Verify | am a dreamer, but talks
with others and my own observations
have led me to believe there is a
good deal of sense to my dreams.
My brothers do not are for more
than one of two of the young men of
their age who live near us. The only
explanation is that they have nothing
in common.
But recently I talked with a col
lege graduate, who with his wife wen
back TO a neighborhood such as ours
and farmed. He made money. Now
he has children. At present he is
thinking of finishing his agricultural
studies so he can get into government
tai work.
Perhaps I'm mistaken in my attitud
but | cannot think otherwise. How
ever, if your neighborhood is satisfac-
tory, dont move to town. for you
will leave a hired man or renter just
where you ought to be. One persons
leaving gives another the fever and
so it goes on.-Chas. Smith in Farm

NEW COINS MAY BE
INSCRIBED IN ENGLISH

London.-The production Of new
coinage is always a rather slow pro-
cess, but on the present occasion IL
may be expedited to some extent.
In the case of the late king. who
came to the throne in January, 1901,
the order in council and proclamation
determining new designs for gold and
bronze coins was issued on Decem-
ber 10th of the same year and came
into force on January 1, 1902, while
the order relating to silver coins was
not approved until January IS.
On that occasion there we're sew
eral changes on the reverses, notably
the half-crown and florin. with the
object of making the two coins as dis
similar as possible. The only change,
it is understood, which will be made
in the new coins will be the royal ef-
figy, for which Mr.. Bertram MacKin-
nal, r. A., the Australian sculptor. is
now engaged in making designs.
The portrait of King Edward which
appears on the present coinage is the
work Of Mr. De Saulles, the then en-
graver to the Mint, the head in pro-
file being truncated in a similar man
ner to the effigy on the first coinage
of Queen Victoria and on the coinage
of most Of his late majesty's prede-
cessors since the reign or Charles II.
Perhaps the best that can be said for
the design is that it is commonplace
and inoffensive. There Is a confident
expectation that Mr.. MacKlnnal will
produce something worthy not only
n hic no a Gpnlntpr httf
also of a coinage which, as far at least
as gold is concerned, enjoys the larg-
est circulation in the world.
Many suggestions are being made
as to alterations which might prop
erly be made in the new coinage. 1t
is contended. for instance, that the
Inscription should be in. English in
stead Of Latin. :.

15.O65 Patents a Year.

London.-Some Of the principal
ideas that have recently occupied the
mind of inventors make the report OF
the comptroller-general of patents al
most as interesting as a novel.
Even the unguarded points of ladies
hat pins have not escaped the invent
ors' vigilance, and numbers of pat
ents have been applied for in connec-
tion with suitable point protectors.
Altogether. during 1909, 3O,6O3 pat
ents were asked for, the highest num-
ber but one on record, and the num-
ber granted was 1905.
One of the outstanding features was
the development in aeronautics, more
than three times as any patents be-
ing applied for in connection with fly
ing machines as were received the
year before. Inventors also gave
considerable attention to electric rail-
way signaling systems, in which the
track rails were used for both the
signaling and the power circuits.
