cause of attacks of hay fever They | never dare venture forth without a | trusty handkerchief. It is most 1 distressing affliction affecting fully 2 1 per cent. of the entire population of l the United States. according to re- 1 ports from the United States Public 1 Health service. The government is now starting an active campaign to relieve this malady and will attempt
 to have the state legislatures and cit l izens cooperate in suppressing vege-
 table growth known to spread and 1 intensity hay fever With the many victims here, New Britain residents 1 will certainly take kindly to this measure and their cooperation is as sured.
 l A local woman has appealed to a | well known attorney asking advice on what she claims is an imposition worked on her through an advertise 1 ing medium. The woman is afflicted with obesity and beauty expert ad- vises her and other stout persons to "rOll down a hill as cure" Just start at the top and roll down. She
 advises: F'Do not count nor tax the brain. Just roll like the anima1s.'
 With all due respect to the i'm posed upon woman and to beauty ex- perts, the question arises as to how much counting it would take to tax the
 brain of a woman who would roll down hill. or an expert who would recommend such a thing.
 An order of the public utilities commission forbidding the running
 backward of engines on the "dinlzy'' hot Pric al will have more far reaching benefits that was at first supposed Previous ly when the train reached Bristol the engine was attached to the other end and away it went. Not wishing to install a turntable the railroad off, c1als are said to have worked out a new scheme. They have built loop at Terryville where dinky trains will turn around for the return trip. This will extend the suburban service to Terryville and Pequabuck it would seem.
 Chief of Police Rawlings has re- gently issued an edict to all produce peddlars, fish peddlars, rag peddlars and others who have occasion to bawl out their wares in setentorian tones advising them to be little more diplomatic and modest in their verbal 0utbursts. Numerous com- Dlatnts have come at headquarters about the annoying habits of many peddlars bowling their wares about the streets. Of course it is impossible for peddlars or fish mongers to sell their wares without shouting what they have to sell, but they can use discretion in the way they shout and
 I 4loo too offensive. A year or two ago an ordinance was pc "cd tending to pro- hibit this wanton baw1ing of the peddlars and since that time they have been very mild in their ways Lately, however, they have been over energetic and the chiefs edct was necessary to keep them within the bounds of reason.
 New Britain has at last got a case of infantile paralysis. According to the health department the case is a sporadic one, one that was not con- tracted from another. Thus it ap- pears that no one is really safe and the bars of caution cannot be let down in the least.
 This is the vacation season, the silly season. Along the secluded streets or on screened porches can be ob- served youths and maidens sitting in the moonlight. They are watching. They are usually watching for the approach of the mother of the true at the shore resorts where many New Britain young people have hied themselves for 9 two weeks

 One custom of some of our foreign
 tzens, a very few it is hoped, that hould be stopped immediately is their cOing up to Walnut Hill Park on varn Sunday afternoon and diaport- ng themselves about the grass in their are feet. On several occasions such practise has been noticed. It is ardly a pleasant sight and to a visl- or in town is one that casts ridicule pon the city.
 Further improvements in safe- uarding traffic and pedestrians are eing planned and Chairman Babcock , f the safety board has worked out a antatiVe plan which if adopted, he I
