InfantiIe Infantile
Total ..........1,047

Do not these figures suggest thai there is reason to be paniClly over the diarrhOea, as we'll as over paraly- sis? Should we not urge the CustO- dians of public funds to permit suf- dcient expenditures to stop, or lessen this slaughter?
 The usual summer exodus of chiI- dren from New York city into neigh boring states is now COnSidera bly, augumented because of the alarm felt teriO- -pOli0myelitis.
 While the New York health depart ment is making every effort to eradi- cate the disease and is empoying drastic quarantine measures, there will be some exposed and infected children escape, who will later de- VelOp the disease while visiting in this state.
 Hundreds are coming into Connec- ticut daily, some of whom have de- VelODed the disease since arrival, but this condition should not be the Cc- CasiOn for panic. It is essential, how ever, that health officers should be on the alert thGt physicians should re- port suspected cases promptly and that the citizens cooperate by follow ing the advice of their health officers and by keeping their homes and sur rOundiDgs in good sanitary condition.
 Health officers are advised to se- cure the names, with New York and Connecticut addresses, of all incoming children and, if possible, to make physical examinations. All children that are found i'll should be quaran- tined until an absolute diagnosis is determined. All suspected or positive cases should be reported to the state board of health by telephone and held under strict quarantine.
 The exact mode of transmission of this disease has not as yet been de- termined, but it is known that the secretions from the nose and mouth of the afflicted contain the germs of the disease. It is therefore possible that transmission may be by dust, flies, household pets, common drink cups and towels, family handker- chiefs and by kissing among children. The public should be warned of these dangers.
 Where New York children are pres ent in a community, the attendance by children at theatres, churches and other public indoor gatherings should be discouraged.
 There are at this writing ten cases in the state-fOr the last few years an average of 30 cases a year has been reported in Connecticut
 This indicates that while extreme caution is necessary, there is no OC- casion for parents to become terror stricken at present.

NORWICH GIRL MAKES ATTEMPT ON LIFE
Margaret Bernard Jumps Into Thames
 and Is Rescued After Hard Fight

Determined upon ending her life Miss Margaret Bernard, a 2l-year-Old Norwich girl, gave PatrOlman Tooker a hard battle on the wharf of the Central Vermont railroad in New London, Wednesday afternoon about 5 o'clock, after she had been rescued from the river by John Hibbs, mem Der of the crew of the submarine L-4 and the Watchman of the steamer Narra gansett tied up at the wharf When she had been subdued the girl was sent to the police headquarters, where she remained all night.
 Thursday morning the story which she told Prosecuting Attorney Daniel Cronin, resulted in the arrest of Mary Rose of 564 Bank street on a charge of living upon the earnings of pros titutiOn. The Bernard girl will be de- tained by the police as Q material witness when the case is called for trial.
 about two months ago, according to her story told Prosecuting Attorney CrOnin. She had previously worked in different restaurants at Norwich. Friends who knew her declare she was Of a cheerful nature. On going to New London she at various times worked in different hotels and res taurants.
 Her rescue Wednesday from 8 wa tery grave was the second within a week according to her friends. When pulled to the wharf by the two men Wednesday afternoon, the girl would have repeated the leap into the water had not PatrOlman TOOker grabbed her by the arm.
 It was necessary for him to lay her upon the wharf before she could be restrained from attempting to again jump into the waters. She threatened if released by the police to make good her intention. AL though at first the patrOlman thought she had been drinking, he was told by the girl that she never drank. Pa troIman Tooker sent a call to police headquarters for the patrol wagon and the girl, after being examined at the Lawrence hospital, was locked up for safe keepinG.

STATE BOARD DISCUSSES lNFANTILE PARALYSIS EPIDEMIC Essential That Citizens Should Fol-
 low Advice of Their Health Off,
 cers.

Observing that Connecticut, as well as other states, is in a panicky condition over the probable invasion of infantile paralysis" the state board of health has devoted it's June report largely to a discussion of the situation. The board says:
 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 become pantcky before real, ener getic health protective measures will be permitted. By this is meant that many health officers are now engaged in efforts to fOrestau infantiIe paraly- sis, employing assistance, abating nuisances and spending money that would not be permitted under ordin- ary circumstances.
 And yet what are ordinary circum- stances-one preventa5ble disease alone is killing over a thousand chill dren every year in Connecticut with out panic and with health workers handicapped for lack of cooperation and support. The disease referred to is infantile diarrhoea- Records show the following deaths in 1915 in Con- necucut:

PAY-AS-YOU ENTER
 CARS FOR NORWICH
Open Cars Being Converted Into Mod
 ern Type.

At the GreeneviIle car barn severa. open cars are now being converted into the more modern type in vogue in many cities. The change is being made by placing wire screens on each side of the car and cutting a passage way through the center of the seats, The usual form of pay entrance is being placed at either end.
 The innovation will undoubtedly be welcomed by both passengers and conductors, especially the latter. It is no easy matter for them to make their collections via the running board route, particularly when that precariOus passageway is lined with standing patrons. Frequently conduc- tors have been thrown from a car and sometimes seriously injured while chasing up elusive nicllles. It is ex- peCted the new cars will be in op- GratiOn here soon.
