NEW WORKERS FLEEING
 PARALYSIS REACH CITY
Health Board Warns Against Danger of Contact With
 Strange Children.

That New Workers fleeing the epi- demic of infantile paralysis are ar irving in the city to visit relatives and friends has been brought to the at tention of the health department, which again cautions residents of the city to beware of strangers and es- pecially to keep their children segre- gated as far as possible and above all not to permit them to play with strange children.
 Caution in these matters Is the best thing the health board can urge these days when all are on the alert for a possible development of the dread disease. It Is up to the city physi- clans to see that New Britain is kept free of infantile paralysis and not alone to the health department which is nearly powerless unless entire CO., operation exists. -..
 The department is anxious to be warned of any symptoms of the dis ease and urges both parents and doc tors to keep close watch. If a child shows signs of nervous irritability or becomes fretfu1 it should be given inm mediate attention. It is best in all such cases to seek medical aid at once and in any event the child should be kept apart from his playmates and free from excitement of any nature. This the health board declares is the best preventative of the development of the dreaded paralysis.

TRAFFIC COPS WANT THERMOMETER BADGES
Would Be Assistance in Solving One Questions These Hot Days
 90 in Shade.

Therm ometers for the traffic cops, a neat little weather gauge to pin be- heath the badge, is the bright Idea of one of the local guardians of the dan ger points who has been pestered to death during the present week answer ing queries on the location of the mer- cury. The street bulls are called upon to answer 8 thousand and one ques- tions every day, such as: When does the next train leave for Berlin % "Ha s the East Main street car gone?" "Is this the right road to Hartford ?" and Have you seen little kid around here dressed in white?" Officer did you pick up a plain gold ring on the crossing here yesterday '' It's bad enough to have the cares of a careless public on ones mind, but when the heat question is added it's just a little more than enough, hence the idea of the breast therm ometer.
 Today is the hottest this year by a good margin according to reliable therm ometers that hang in the shade. Such a thermometer on the south side of Church street registered 90 de- grees at Il o'clock and Old General Humidity was helping things along despite a vagrant breeze that now and then lifted the window curtains. On the sunny side of the street the mer- cury was lowering around the 99 mark with promise of going higher.
 Despite the hot weather and week end holiday, officials at the passenger station reported traffic conditions un- usually light today. Apparently but few were leaving the city. Most of the cottagers left for the beaches a week ago or on Monday before the Fourth and the departure of more Eacationers is not looked for in heavy numbers until next Saturday. Then traffic will be both ways, the early vacationers returning and a new crop departing for the last two weeks in July.

U. s. TROOPS AWAITING
 THREATENED RAID
New Organization, Said to Be Moving Toward Border,
 to Be We'll Received.

San Antonio. July 8.-For more than 200 miles eastward from Fl Paso Am erican troops were being held In readiness today to move to any point on the border that might be threaten ed by the newly organized bandits in Chihuahua.
 Colonel Gaston, commanding the American forces in the big bend dis trict was authorized by General Fun ston to make such disp osition of his troops as he deemed wise to prevent bandits crossing the river.
 Although taking all precautions and not minimizing the reports that Villa himself is at the head of the organi- zation, army officers today were not inclined to believe the bandits would attempt any movement in force to- wards the north, especially if led by Villa.

DIVINE SERVICE
 WITHOUT A PRIEST
Mexican Church, Older Than U. s Has Woman to Preside-Candle
 in Bottle for Light.

Field Headquarters, Colonia Dublan, via courier to Columbus. N M., July 8.-Divine worship, without music, priest, the sacrament or vestments, with only women and children present, was viewed Sunday at Namiquipa by sightseers from the American expedi- tlOnary column. In a church built two years before the start of the American war of Independence, under the faint light of sunshine sitting in through breaks in the roof, few Mex ican women and children knelt on the floor. One candle, stuck in a beer bottle, illuminated the altar.
 There were no pews and the wor- ship was in complete silence. One of these women, it was learned, since banditry, revolution and unfavorabIe legislation have all but closed the church, has taken upon herself the of- flee of janitor and as nearly as she may, that of priestress. On Saint days and Sundays she with the wo- men who still cling to their religion, dress in their best-drab clothing it is-and perform sucn rites of wor- ship as are left to them.

OFFICIALS FORECAST
 CARRANzA'S PLANS
Expect He Will Ask for Border
 CantonmeDt in Reply
DECISION IS EXPECTED
State Department Awaits Word From First Chief-WiII Villa Raid U. $. Again and Polk May Reach Agreement in Conference.

Washington, July Sword of Gen. Carranza's decision as to the form diplomatic negotiations for the set clement of border difficulties should take was expected today at the state department.
 It is thought probable the de facto government will authorize Elizeo Ar redondo, am bassador designate here, to talk matters over informally with Acting Secretary Polk. The general form of an agreement could be framed in this way and later formally ratified. This would save time and reduce the chances of misunder- standing.
 Officials anticipate that the Car ranza government will again offer the border cantonment plan which first was presented at the El Paso confer ence between Maj. Gen. Scott and the Mexican war minister, Gen. Obre- eon. It was rejected at that time be- cause immediate withdrawal of Gen. PershlngS men from Mexico was stipulated by Gen. Obregon as a con- dition. If it is renewed without that stipulation it appears likely it will prove acceptable.
 Further reports on the fight in which bandits overwhelmed Car ranza force near Corralitos, southern Chihuahua was looked for today by Arredondo, and the state department to which he promised to communica the information. Of greatest interest to officials was the question of wheth- CT the outlaw band included Francisco Villa, and whether it is bound for the American border to make another raid.
 War department officials expressed doubt whether any bandit force would attempt another attack such as that on Columbus,~ N. M. Preparations will be made to guard against any possible at tack, however.
 Report From American.
 The state department had a report from an American who said he talked to Villa at Corralitos few days be- fore the fight with Carranza forces. The incident of the latest bandit out break, even if it does not extend to American soil, is expected to influen ce the diplomat conversations which will begin soon between MT. Arredondo o and Acting Secretary of State Polk.
 The American note accepting the Mexican proposal that differences be- tween the two governments be settled by diplomatic means, probably was in the hands of Carranza today.
