COMPLAINS ABOUT POOL.

Superintendent T. E. Reeks of the health department is in receipt of an anonymous letter calling attention to alleged bad conditions existing at the swimming pool on the top of Wal nut Hill Park. According to the mis- sive glass and other debris are thrown into the pond which makes it un- healthy for the bathers. bac- teriological examination is being made of the water as the superintendent has some doubts whether the intake into the pond is sufficient to cause enough water to flow in to make it safe and clear.

PROTECTING DOLLY,
 IS STRUCK BY AUTO
Little New Haven Girl Keeps
 Lucille from Harm

New Haven, Aug. 4.-In protecting ming about o'clock at the cor ner of Chapel and Gill streets lit
 tie Ethel Ruff, seven years old, of
 133 Edgewood avenue, was knocked 1 mobile on a tow rope which skidded
 over the curb and turned over on the 1 sidewalk. Her right leg was frac- tured and her left arm broken.
 Mrs Lena Ruff, her mother, was also hit by the careening autom obile and her chest was badly lacerated. Mother and daughter were attended by pr. McDermott. After treatment
 they were removed to St. Raphaels
 hospital, where at an early hour this
 morning they were reported as rest
 ing comfortably. Neither is in ser ious condition.
 Ethel, with her dolly tucked in dolls carriage, was out walking last night. Mother went along for com pany. The doll is by no means an or dinary doll for it answers to the name of Lucille and can talk and go to sleep and stand alone and do lots of things that the every day doll could never do no matter how hard it tried
 Naturally Ethel was very attentive to her charge as any real mother should be and was Watchful lest any thing should harm Lucille. At the corner of Chapel and Gill streets an automobile towing a disabled car came long and the two machines skidded crashed over the curb and turned over. Ethel feared that her doll would be hurt and threw herself in front of the car, thus she got Lu- cille out of the way but she herself was knocked down and badly injured. Mrs Ruff was also hit when the 2 automobile turned over.
 It was found that Frank Di1el1a of | 511 Oak street was driving the ma- l chine when the tow skidded. He l was placed under arrest short time | later by Patrolmen Connolly and | Heinz on charges of reckless driving | He is employed by the Ford company | on Chapel street and was towing the 1 disabled car in when the accident oc- cured.

FURTHER INCREASE IN SCOPE
AND EFFICIENCY OF HOME
ECONOMICS.

.|.
Agricultural College, Miss, Oct. 6
-(Special.)-That a still further in.
crease is now being made in the
scope and efficiency of the home eco.
nomics service in Mississippi, due tc
the liberal response of boards of su,
pervisors Of many counties to re.
quests for appropriations to carry on
the work, is the report Miss Susie V.
Powell, Of the Mississippi A. & M
College, gives out on her return from
a trip to several counties in the in
terest of the work.
Miss Powell, who is state agent of
the home economics demonstration
work, stated that in every case heard
from SO far the county agents have
not only been continued in office but
their salaries raised and the length
Of the period Of employment length
ened.
For the past week, Miss Powell and
her three assistants have been be-
fore the boards Of supervisors of
seventeen counties, each of which. SO
far as known, have granted the ap-
preparations asked for. Unusually
liberal responses were had from Talla-
hatiche, Lee, George and Montgomery
counties, while other counties are
making arrangement to begin the
work this winter or next spring. In
discussing these cases Miss Powell
said: 1--WE find that in many cases
the boards that positively refused ap-
preparations last spring are eager to
grant even larger sums now. It is not
the policy of this department to urge
appropriations in new territory un-
there ri prospects of q fairly
long period of office at a salary that
will justify the appointment of an eff.
ilcient agent, as we find that more
benefit comes from increasing the ef-
iiciency of the work in a limited ter
ritory than from extending. it over
new territory where adequate provi.
'lons has not been made for it,
In all counties having demonstra.
ion agents preparations are under
way for county exhibitions Of canning
.lub and home science club products,
Awards will be made, and exhibits
elected and prepared for the State
Fair. In spite Of the bad weather
ondltions Of the past summer, the =.
and women of these counties ara
