LOCOMOBILE BOOK
 THE LATEST NOVEL
Bridgeport Company Pub fishes Annual Catalogue
 In Story Form

E What looks like the latest novel of the season is 'sThe Locomobile Book 9 a 210 page volume gotten out by the Bartl&tt-Orr Press of New York for the Liocomobile Company of America. The book which has an attractive cov- CT in green is prepared in the most approved methods of book construc- tion, with numerous illustrations. It is divided into chapters and has CO., pious index. Besides interesting views of the factories of the company and the products of the factories, there are
 many scenes of foreign countries, and the book should be of particular in- terest to those tourists who have been abroad with their cars. The il1ustra- tions are of the highest order. Among the Connecticut scenes are those of the Memorial Bridge in Old Milford, the factories of the company in Bridgeport, Bridgeport Harbor, Water bury fire departments hose cart, and Bridgeport fire departments chemical car. There are views of Japan and Ireland, of the squadron of Locomo- piles operated by the Brooklyn Daily Eagle and the ttNew York Evening foreign lands. The book constitutes the fourteenth annual catalogue of LocomObile motor cars. The idea back of the book is to tell the story of the Locomobile, its record and de- velopment, it's design and construction and it's superiority as a reliable ma. chine. It contains information not ordinarily part of a catalogue. The chapter on miscellaneous information for tourists gives a digest of state laws arranged by tables, information con- cerning automobile organizations, tire sizes, horsepower ratings, insurance, directions for foreign tourists, etc.

INCREASE IN INFANT
 .. MORTALITY ALARMS LIBERAL GOVERNMENT

London. March 29.-The government was seriously alarmed, to-day, over the reports on infant mortality from every section due to the general tie-up of business as the result of the coal strike. Figures available are appal1-' ing and unless steps are immediately taken to check the spread of disease caused by malnutrition a large part of the infant population will be wiped out by death
 s The health officer at Manchester has reported to the government, officials that the mortality is averaging be- tween S4 to 135 in every 1000 children under the age of five. He places the blame entirely on the inability of the parents to procure suitable food. Many mothers of nursing children, he says, have had no proper food for more than a fortnight with the result that they are unable properly to nourish their offspring.
 In Hanley. in the heart of the pot tories district. the confidential reports received by the home secretary say that there are 5000 babies under one year old whose parents are absolutely without funds and living On the scan ty allowances that the town boards are able to make
 Similar reports are received from every congested district where trade is affected by the strike. The prob lem of relief is a most serious one and if the strike is not ended by next week governmental relief on the larg- est scale in the history Of the coun- try will be necessary

Gronna Has Plans To Assist
 Farmers Banks

Washington, March 29.-Investiga- tion of a new financial scheme of far reaching importance and it's possible adoption in the United States is pro- posed in a resolution introduced by Senator Gronna, of North Dakota, and recommended for passage by the f1- nance committee. It provides for a committee of three to investigate the 'tco-operative land mortgage banks and rural credit unions" in other cOun- tries. Discussing his plan, to-day, Gronna said:
 '@The system is strictly cooperative and the banks make no profit
 National banks are now not per- mitted to loan money on farm mort gage. They could. however, make loans on the bonds of cooperative banks. While the purpose of the rural bank system is to furnish cheap mon ey to farmers and workingmen, the system would also benefit large fnan- cial institutions
 Gronna said recently a big New York bank had let it be known that it held $19.0O0.0 on which it paid two percent. and had no opportunity to make safe investments.
 Purchase of rural bank bonds, at three per cent. he said, would furnish just such an investment.
 '"The bonds would eQuaEze interest rates in all parts of the country 9 Gronna continued. 'sThe rural banks would make loans only to nearby far mers who were known to be trust worthy and the bonds would be abso- 1utely safe Investments

 Allowing our thought to drift back into the past, say twenty or twenty five years, it will be remembered that poultry fanciers showed some activ- ity in adding this branch of indus try to their turkey raising business if they had not already done so. Dur ing those days 1t was not an uncom- mon sight when driving through the country to see a large flock of these domestic fowls in every farm yard. Later, possibly not more than fifteen yecrg previous to the present time,- poultry men and owners of these fowls became aware of the fact that de- tructive agent in the form of disease was rapidly diminishing their fioclrs of turkeys and without any chance for remodyiny this condition that was con Stanfly on the increase, it was deemed expedient to abandon. this branch. of the poultry industry. - Consequently the turkey family is nearly extinct for a radius of miles in this part of the State
