 The formation, or rather contin- uance, of the inter school league that was of so much interest last season is looked for, first steps to get represen- tatives of the schools together having been taken by Principal Ernest Ross Warren of Killingly High.
 Brooklyn Milk Grades High.
 Milk peddlers of Brooklyn are en- titled this morning to a publicity bou- quet. The milk they are furnishing to customers in the eastern section of the town is shown by recent test to be of very high grade of cleanli- ness and purity.
 On a recent morning, between the hours of and 8. samples were taken from their cans and forwarded within 24 hours for testing at a state lab- oratory. The. peddlers had no ad- vance knowledge that the samples were to be taken, so the results shown by the tests may be safely regarded as indicative that the milk they de- liver any morning is of as high grade as that taken on the morning mem toned.
 Here are the reports on the sam ples taken from the cans of six deal CTS: 983 966. 95. 93.3. 91.6. 91.6. In the town of Brooklyn samples of milk are taken from time to time and, as a general rule, the tests show the milk to be of excellent quality.
