BECOMING ACCUSTOMED
 TO TRAFFIC RULES. Police Having Little Trouble in En- forcing City Ordinance.

Although the enforcement of the traffic rules which went into effect last month caused some little dissatisfac- tion among automobile owners and re- suited in several arrests, the drivers are now being accustomed to them and the police have practically no trouble in seeing that the law is carried out. In all there has been less than dozen arrests on charges of violating the traffic rules since the time they became effective. The last arrest was made on the 18th of August. For 25 days before that there were no arrests. On August 1 one name was added to the list on the police blotter. There was one arrest on the charge of vio- Iating the traffic rules on July 31, two on the 29th of the month, one on the 27th, one on the 22nd, two on the 20th and one on the 18th. Of course this does not mean that these are all the violations there have been for a num- Der of people have received warning from the police who found their ma chimes, wagons or motorcycles stand ing beside the curg on the streets where the rules are in force. for more than the fifteen minute period. More than one grumbIed when a police of fcer stepped up to him and informed him that he must drive on somewhere else or be summoned before the city court judge. They chose the former course rather than the latter and drove on and the majority saw to it that they were not caught over the fifteen min
 uta period again.
 A couple of months ago Lower Broadway, Main street and Franklin square usually presented an over crowded appearance for expressmen, jitney drivers and others made it a practice to line up alongside the curb ing anywhere and remain there as long as they wanted to. Lower Broadwaw especially felt the effect of this over crowded traffic for on some afternoons and evenings too, it was next to inn possible for team. auto or motor cycle to ma1ee it's way down the cen ter of the street without coming into contact with the varnish on some limousine or big touring car. Today these streets are for the most part clear at all times and many a local resident, even auto drivers themselves have remarked on the improvement.
 The silent cops" located about the center of the city have proved a big help in directing drivers where they should and should not go and the safe ty zone rope in the square provides protection to the trolley passengers.

Colchester, was issued Thursday by Health Officer Chiprnan as another precaution of an epidemic of infan- tile paralysis.
 Health Officer Chipman feels that these people are good mediums for the spread of infantile paralysis or any other disease. Because of the nature of their business, the men come in contact with many children and in the exchange of money and goods might communicate the disease.
 The health officer will take the nec- essary steps to see that the order is obeyed. He advises the junk dealers an dice cream vendors from New Lon- don from going to these forbidden places which are infected by the dis ease and if they go there they will not be permitted to return to New London. Likewise people in those businesses in Montville, Salem or Colchester will not be permitted entrance into New London.
 Tw ochi1dren accompanied by their parents, who were passengers on the Owl train from New York Thursday morning and bound for Colchester, were held up and refused permission to continue to their destination. They were sent back to New York this morning..
 Found Septic Sore Throat.
 Dr. Ross E. Black of New London, who was recently appointed one Of three associate epidemologists for the state board of health, went to Col chester Wednesday afternoon where he examined several suspected cases of infantile paralysis. Among the cases examined were four children in the Taylor family in which one child died recently, the cause having been given as infantile paralysis. It has been de- ternined that the cause of the death was septic sore throat.
 To Make Up Lost Time.
 Charles D. Hfne, secretary of the state board of education, has re- ceived a number of inquiries from school officials in the state as to the effect which a possible reduction in the number of dals in the school year, on account of infantile paraly- tendance grant. In every instance Secretary Hine has replied that an effort should be made to make up for the loss of days occasioned by the postponement of the school year by reducing the number allowed or to take off the requisite number of days from the summer vacation.
 The minimum number Of days in the school year, established by the state board of education, is 180. The board will not pay an average at 
 Der of days. The number is not uni form throughout the state. In Hartford the number is 190 or thir- ty-eight weeks. while in New Haven it is 200 days, or forty weeks. The amount of the average attendance grant paid the towns by the state last year was S12S,00G
 The law gives the secretary of the board the authority to disallow the grant for any town where he thinks it has been forfeited.
