Quarantine In Case of MeasIes-Town
 School Committees Plans.


 Health Officer, Dr. c. F. Congden, has found so many cases of measles in the town of Stonington, that he has established quarantine wherever the disease has appeared and has warned parents to exercise careful supervision of their children, and this aids him in his efforts to prevent further spread of the disease. County Health Officer A. M. Brown, of Norwich, is evidently satisfied that Dr. Congdon is render ing efficient service. and therefore does not deem it necessary to take advantage of the legislative authority accorded him to appoint a deputy health officer for the village of Paw catuck
 Few Changes In Town's Teachers.
 There will be no radical changes in the personnel of the teaching force next term, but the committee is fav- orable to the plan of abandoning the supervisor principal idea in the gram mar schools and hereafter there will be teaching principals. By a shifting in some instances, the salaries paid to some of the higher-up teachers of last term, is conserved and the result is a general raise in salaries of $4ta month and without increase in the regular appropriation for salaries.

Attorney Albert B. Crafts of Wester- ly, with law office in Providence, is not as successful in suits brought for him self as in some cases he has brought for others. Several years ago he re- ceived from the trustees of the Me- chan9es' Savings bank of Westerly, in process of liquidation, the sum of S15,- 900 in payment for services which he claimed to have rendered. Later he instituted proceedings to recover the additional sum of $50, GOO, training his legal guns in two directions to gain a like victory. He brought suit against the trustees for the sum named and lost on @ non-suit, while the hearing against the bank direct continued on to finish before Judge Brown and a jury in the superior court for Provi- dence county. After a hearing for three weeks. the jury returned ver- dict for the defendant bank.
 This suit against the bank was started in December, 1909, by Mir. Crafts, who claimed S5o,000 due him for services rendered as attorney for or estimated profits, although there was no basis for estimation. The writ was served on the trustees of the bank on the very day that 10 per cent. dividend was being paid to depositors (the bank being in process of liquida- tion), making a total of 70 per cent paid to depositors. The trustees, how ever, continued the payment of the dividend and resolved to contest the claim of MT. Crafts in the couts. Up to that time MT. Crafts had received s15,0o0 as attorney for the bank, when his services were dispensed with, and
