STOPPED CHILDREN AT YANTIC
Somehow Four New Workers Had Slipped Within the Lines But Bozrah Health Officer Was There and Nabbed Them -227 Children Quaratined There-Two Children Turn ed Back by Officer Donovan at New London.

By some undiscovered route four parents slipped through the picket lines of the health authorities Sunday and landed, in full array, in Yantic, They were for pushing on without de- lay to the summer boarders' paradise in Bozrahville. They conducted a scouting expedition and secured a ve- hicle for themselves and impedimenta. They sounded the bugle call for ad- vance, and just then Bozrahs wide awake health officer, Elijah s. Abel, nabbed them.
 How the party got that far into the interior various health officers have not figured out. They couldn't come by way of New London, because there vigilant John Donovan of the Norwich police department is eyeing every train and every boat that comes in for chil- dren from New York and the other infantile paralysis foci that might come this way and spread infection. They didn't come by boat to Norwich Sunday, for there wasn't any. By elimination, it seems as if the Central Vermont might have been guilty.
 But Health Officer Abel was on the spot to receive the visitors. He eX- plained the situation and the rules to them and their vision of vacation holi- days on the farm faded out. Dr. George Thompson, who as town health officer has jurisdiction over the village of Yantic was notified by MT. Abel and he ordered deportation. So tSe New Workers and their four children took the boat back to the city, last night.
 Probably there has been as much quiet activity in the town of Bozrah as anywhere in this vicinity in the effort to prevent the child paralysis from making inrOads in this end of the state. Two hundred and twenty seven children, of the summer visitorc, most of them, have been placed in quaran- tine in that town during the last few days. The time of quarantine has been placed at three weeks and that will provide ample incubation time for the infantile paralysis, if it exists, for six to eight days is the time that Dr. FIeXner gives for the disease ordinarily

CANADIAN GOVERNMENT
 BUYS NEW LONDON BOATS?
unconfirmed Rumor That Central Ver- mont Has Sold Two Idle Steamers.

UncOnrFmed Runor ! hat Central Ver-
 mont Has Sold Two Idle Steamers.
 Although the New London officers of the Central Vermont Railway Co.,, in New London say they know nothing of the matter the rumor that the steamers Manhattan and Narragansett which have been tied up in New Lon don for several months are to be taken over by the Canadian government con- tinUeS to be circulated. The Providence Tribune has the following to say in regard to the boats:
 The possibility of those two man. moth steamers which the Southern New England Railway company was to operate between this port andN New org Churning up the waters of Mar ragansett bay in a race with the steamers of the other lines running between this city and the metropolis seems to be very remote. The latest story $ that the steamers, the Narra- gansett, named after the bay, and the Manhattan, named in honor of the New EGlk end of the proposed water route of the Southern New England, have been taken over by the Canadian government.
 For. some time in fact almost since they were launched and finished, the steamers have been tied up at New London. The only water trip they ever made was from down in the Pennsylvania town where they were built to the Grand Trunks water property in New London.
 Those who have followed the his- tory of the Grand Trunks Southern New England proposition in this state will recall that among other promises made, when the Southern New Eng land was seeking a charter. was one to the effect thaL a line of palatial s-+ 1 v--@-7T1 nToqr9Tn6 from state pier in this ely to New York.
 As 8 matter of fact the state pier was in process of construction at tho time this talk was heard. The stories contemplated the operation of a Iiue Of steamers in the passenger trade, and then there was another story of grain carrying Ieviathans of the deep that were to carry wheat to be brought here from the west, from Providence to Europe.
 Those in charge of the erection of the state pier evidently swallowed the yard hide. taIlow and hair for in or der to accommodate the Grand Trunk certain changes were made in the plans for the dock.
 But there have been no Grand Trunk or Southern New England Rail way company boats sailing from the state pier, and now the story comes that there will not be any for the sim DIe reason that the Cana dian govern ment has bought them for $1,00O, O00.
 Tn the meantime the state is cared from the Massachusetts line at Palmer on the west to the Providence river and the state dock, with a roadbed which the Southern New England dug before the work was stopped.
 The Narragansett and the MaTtat- tan, if the latest story is true will now go up to Canada and the place they were supposed to call their home port, Providence, R. L. will probably never see them.

INFANTtLE DIARRH OEA
 WORSE THAN PARALYSIS.
State Board of Health Calls Attention
 to One PreventabIe Disease.

The July bulletin of the state board of health contains under the heading Of Panics. this comparison pertinent to the present situation in Connecticut:
 At the time of this writing COnnecfl- ctu, as well as other states, is in a state of panic over the probable in vasion of infantile paralysis. We do not belittle the occasion, nor do we deplore this condition of public mind as there is real danger, and it does seem necessary for the public to be- come panicky before real energetic health protective meas ures will be per- mitted. By this is meant that many health officers are now engaged in ef- fort to forestall infantile paralysis, enl- ploying assistance, aibating nuisances, and spending money that would not be permitted under ordinary circum- stances.
 And yet what are ordinary circum- stances-one prevcntable disease alone is killing over a thousand children ev- cry year in Connecticut without panic and wit hhealth workers handicapped for lack of cooperation and support. The disease referred to is infantile diarrhoea. Records show the following deaths in Connecticut in 1915:

Infantile
 Diarheoa
Infantile

Do not these figures suggest that there is reason to be paniclly over diarrhoea as well as over paralysis? :? Should we not urge the custodians of public funds to permit sufficient ex- penditure to stop or lessen this slaugh- ter of infants?
 It has been estimated that the amount now spent for health protec- tion in general by state, city and town governments Gncluding tuberculosis sanatoria) totals less than 30 cents per capita. If this amSunt was doubled that is, if every pe3son in Connecticut contributed 50 cents year G cents a month) health officials would guar antee to reduce the death rate from preventable diseases at least one-haIf.
 This has been demonstrated in many cities where adequate health appro- priations have been made, and Con- necticut has a few cities which have reduced their death rate from infantile diarrhoea more than one-ha!f
 If panics are necessary to save life let's have panics!

THE PROS AND CONS
 OF TRAFFIC RULES.
LiberaEists and Conservatists Are
 Both in the Field.

There has been animation in the discussion of the benefits and the off sets of the new traffic achievements and mere discussion gave issue sever al days ago to a petition, under a Board of Trade caption, directed to the court of common council and praying that the time permitted automobiles to stand on Lower Broadway and Main street. be extended to 30 minutes and that this part of Broadway be made a one way thOrOUghfare.
 Since that day, another petition has entered the field and this seeks to have the traffic regulations maintained in their present state and vigor. The former had the start and has more signatures but the latter does not lack adherents. gaining 25 Saturday, and it seems fairly safe and reasonable to say that traffic will be one of the Plb- jeCts for debate when the city fathers again convene. Also. some literature is arising, in the meantime.

Paisade Triangles
Lose Uuion Hill Game

The basketball team lost a hard
fought game to the team represent
ing Grove Church, of Union Hill, at
Union Hill, last week. With the
practice which results from the
games, however, teamwork is being
developed, and the Club is now rep
resented by much stronger team
than at the beginning of the season.
The team has up to the present time
lost more games than it has won, but,
beginning tonight, when the team
starts the second half of it's season
against the team representing Com
pany G, of the New Jersey National
Guard, at Hackensack, it is expected
that better record will be made.
The squad is at present composed of
James V. Woolcot, jr., and Leonard
H. Lane, forwards; George HI. Beck
mann, captain, center; Robert E.
Blue and Richard Cole, guards; and
Herman H. Borgstede, Paul A. Ber-

Associated Charities
Plan Old Clothes Sale

A meeting of the Council of the
Associated Charities of Cliffside Park
was held last Saturday morning at
the residence of Mrs. S. Wood Nc
Clave in Edgewater Heights. Those
present were Mrs. McClave, Mrs. E.
H. Fox, Miss Nancy Bowman and Mr.
VIM. Dana.
The principle business of the meet
ing was the planning for an old
clothes sale in the near future for
the benefit of those who had but a
limited amount to pay for clothing,
the sale to be held in the Fairview
headquarters at Walker street and
Sixth streets, notice of which would
be duly posted.
In order to make the sale as bene-
fetal and of as great a success as
possible, it was decided to make a
widespread appeal for donations of
all kinds of old winter clothing, shoes
and so on. Adults winter under
clothing which could be made into
garments for children would be es-
pecially acceptable. Persons desiring
to aid in the charitable undertaking
may communicate with Mrs. Edgar
H. Fox of Courtlandt place, tele-
phone, Cliffside 740-W at any time
before next Wednesday, January &c.

Goemann's Rooster
Takes Two Firsts At
New York Shows

Although H. F. Goemann runs a
drug store on the corner of Lawton
avenue and the trolley road, Grant
wood, he does not spend all of his
time by any means passing pre-
scriptions across the counter. In the
rear of his store he has little chicken
yard, which is the pride of his heart
and joy of his life, and it is here
that he spends many of his spare
moments feeding and caring for his
pets. DR.. Goemann says that he
would rather fuss around those
chickens than eat, but he does not
look at the matter quite in that light.
He is a poultry fancier of high
order as proven by his latest achieve
ment in breeding prize winning foul.
A little over twenty-five months
ago he Matched right there in his tiny
back yard magnificent specimen of
the White Houdan, which will not
only make a big name for itself some
day, but which will put Grantwood,
N. j., on the map among poultry
breeders all over the country. He
named this beautiful bird SNOW
King" and cared for it in the tender
est fashion, raising it to maturity
only with the greatest difficulty. 1t
was we'll worth all the pains he en-
ddured, for only last month and this
month he walked away with a first
prize at the Grand Central Palace
Poultry Show and another first at
the Madison Square Garden Show.
DR.. Goemann is highly pleased and
says that he has the finest bird of its
kind in the country. He expects tc
place "Snow King" in many shows
during the season and no doubt
he will walk away with the honors
as easily as at the two New York
shows. He is also experimenting
with a fine strain Of Blue Houdans
but as yet has not achieved the result
he desires, which is another "Snov
| King"
