Fred had out a trot-line and
caught six-pounder on 1t. The
hook was caught right in the

first Fred thought the hook had
pulled up part of the skin.
On closer examination. how

piece OF the fish about an
inch long, and 1t seemed hol-
low.
Fred thinks the bass are
growing these things on their
heads and using them as peri
scopes TO stick above water and
see when any one Is fishing

He thinks maybe there was
an eye on the end of II, but
that II was torn Off when he

The Problem At MiddIctown.
(New Haven RegisterD

There is q problem which intimate Iy and importantly concerns the whole state of Connecticut to be solved in connection with the state hospital for the insane at Midddletown. It is, con- cretely stated, how to put 2,552 pat tents, and a waiting list of from 20 to 25, into buildings erected to con- tain 2,170 persons. That is the inn mediate phase of it. Conditions at Middletown now represent 17.6 per cent. of overcrowding.
 But there are in the almshouses of the state perhaps 200 more persons of the sort which the law passed by the last legislature said should not be confined there, but removed to state institutions definitely intended for the treatment of the insane. This is in addition to nobody knows how many more cases throughout the state which should be, but cannot be under pres- ent conditions, treated in the hospi- tals. Connecticuts problem is general and acute.
 What prospect is there of its solu- tion? No relief can come until the legislature sits again, or within fifteen months. Then it will be a struggle to make the legislators see that this is a vital and long neglected need.
 They must be approached on the economic side, since the humanity appeal has failed to move them in former years. It needs to be under stood, as can easily be demonstrated from the record of experience, that a mild case of mental disease, denied prompt and proper treatment, has a tendency to become chronic. The Middletown institution has hundreds of such cases. They remain there, they contribute to the overcrodwing, they continue comparatively perma- nent expense to their friends or to the public-always to the public in the ultimate sense-because they were neglected at the time when they might hay been helped. Are we to con- tjnue to produce such cases, to com plicate our condition of menace and overcrowding and expense, for the lack of a few thousands of dollars now? That is a question for the peo- pie and their representatives to an swer at Hartford in 1917, and it is not too soon for them to be consider ing it's wise answer.
