Gould Not Solve Mystery.
 With the arrest yesterday of James Carroll by Railroad Policeman Charles Grace it was expected that some light might be shed on the mystery sur rounding the tragic death of Owen Kelley who was killed by an automo- bile on the Plainville road Thursday night, as Carroll was known to have been one of the party that was with Kelley. Although Grand Juror Nor ton and Policeman Grace both ques- toned Carroll, he could throw little light on the affair, except to state that Kelley was better known as Murphy and friends in Hartford, ''where he was arrested lots of times' Carroll told the local officials that he went to New Britain with the others and all got drunk. He remembered nothing until he sObered up in the local lock up although he expressed the opinion that he came back to Plainville on the trolley. Burke Gone of the others in the party) got awful drunk Carroll told Judge Condell. "Yes, and I guess you did too" remarked his honor as he tackled a jail sentence of thirty days onto him. Judgment was suspended on the payment of costs
 John Sullivan of New Haven who gave Officer Philip Marine such lively tussle yesterday when he was arrested had not calmed down when tried in court and continued to exhibit an ugly disposition, having an express desire to trim the policeman. He was fined s7 and costs for drunkenness and sent to jail for thirty days for breach of the peace.
 Edward Curran who was arrested by. Officer Downing on a charge of drunkenness was sentenced fo thirty days in jail. Judgment was sus- pended on payment of costs.
 AutOist Hits Gates.
 An unknown automobilist blinded by the blizzard-like storm and hurry ing to get home, failed to see that the gates were lowered at the center early last evening and bumped into them. He succeeded in stopping his machine before any great damage was done, and explained that he did not see them because of the hlinding snow.
 No Christmas Rush Yet.
 As yet there has been no pro- nounced Christmas rush at the local post office in either the incoming or outgoing mail Because of this Post master Prior has made no preDara- tons to engage additional clerks and will not do so until the business war rants it.
 The attention of the public is again called to the need of cooperation with the postal authorities by wrap ping all bundles securely and address, ng them plainly.

Miss Mary Pettinato SuCCumbS
 to Dreaded Typhoid OTHERS CRITICALLY ILL
James Carroll Unable to Throw Any Light on Tragic Death of Local Freight Handler-Cheshire Clergy man to Speak Here.

Plainville's typhoid fever epidemic has claimed it's fourth victim, Miss Mary Pettinato, 16 years old, having died at St. Francis hospital in Hart ford yesterday, following a several weeks illness With the disease. The funeral will be held tomorrow after noon at o'clock from the Church of Our Lady of Mercy and at o'clock Monday morning a solemn mass of requiem will be, celebrated at this church for Miss Pettinato. Miss Petit nato was the daughter of Mir. and Mrs. Frank Pettinato of, Pierce street.
 Not only is Miss Pettinatos death the fourth in Plainville resulting from r the typhoid fever scourgc. but it is also the second one in this family, one of the other victims having been her brother, Rosario Pettinato, who died at St. Francis hospital about three weeks ago. Miss Pettinato was a sster-in-law of Louis Conforti. the West Main street store keeper in whose place of business the epidemic is believed to have had it's origin through milk-shakcs that were sup posedly contaminated. MT Conforti is heart broken over the terrible eplue1n1C lHil IS Sa1d to nave SlaFleCt in his store, but pr. John T. Black, state health commissioners, and pr. J. N. Bull both declare their belief that the germs were probably brought into the store by some typhoid car riers and not by any circumstance over which the proprietor had any control.
 Other Victims in Bad Way.
 Two other typhoid fever victims were reported this morning as bcinr in a very critical condition. Geora~ Bryant. who has been i'll for severn l weeks, was reported last night as b. ing dangerously low and his ultimate recovery was a matter of grave doubt Today his condition was un- changed

act being executed only in RESPONSE to
the don't do that" and do this" OF
some elder.
1t would probably astonish many par
ents to hear the childish and sometimes
fierce protests expressed by children
against this cold blooded, impersonal
habit of treatment.
One frequently hears mother ex-
claim: ''Oh, don't trouble me. haven't
time to fuss with you" The little heart,
so full of spontaneous love and conf
dence, is heavy with disappointment, and
this attitude, repeated day after day,
soon brushes the spirit that impels the
little one to rush to mother with every
little happening. In time an unsympa-
thetic chord is struck, and the distance
is widened until mother and child are as
far apart as the antipodes.
Nothing can be more disastrous to a
girl than this unfortunate state of affairs,
for a young girls greatest protection in
life is brooding, watchful mother love
and confidence.
Life hath quicksands, life hath
snares," and the girl who is blessed with
responsive mother when tempted,
turns aside and says: mo, mother would
not approve of that"
Too late does a parent sometimes
awaken to the fact that her own uncon-
geniality and lack of responsiveness have
been the chief cause OF a daughter
seeking green fields and pastures new"

FURTHER PROTECTION
OF PRODUCTS URGED
Association for Protection Of Tubercu-
losis Would Have Dairy Herds
More Carefully Tested.

The board of directors OF the Associa-
ton for the Prevention of tuberculosis
at their monthly meeting adopted several
important resolutions which placed the
association squarely on record regarding
the further protection OF dairy products
in line with their resolution recently
introduced by ]. Charles Linthicum. of
Maryland, in the House OF Representa-
tives.
The local association in its action
strongly recon mends that the dairy
herds from which milk is obtained for
human consumption or from which milk
products. ice cream, butter and cheese
are derived. should be proved free from
tuberculosis, and that where such dairy
products are derived from dairy herds
which have not been proved free from
tuberculosis such products be properly
pasteurized-that is. subjected to a de-
gree OF heat which for the time IT is
maintained will be sufficiently high to kill
tubercle bacCilli.
