ALLOW INVADERS
 OF REGISTRATION
 UNTIL WEDNESDAY
(continued from page D

(Continued from page 1)
 Connecticut was sent out by Governor fIolcomb:
 .AThe office of the United States Dis trict Attorney and this office have re- ceived from various towns and cities lists of persons whose names appear in the military census but who have not registered under the selective con- scription law. These lists in this form are of no assistance in securing the registration of those who have not voluntarily appeared because it is i'm possible for any central office to in- quire into all cases.'
 Your attention has before this been called to the provisions of Sec- ton 40 of the registration regulations which make it the duty of your board to use every reasonable effort to find persons who have failed to register voluntarily and to secure their regis tration or report their names for prosecution; and also to the provisions
 of Section 16 of those regulations
 which make it the duty of all police
 officers to give every assistance in the consummation of the registration. These provisions are not empty words, but impose duties which, on the one hand, should appeal to your patriot ism, and, on the other, will subject any person failing in them to the penalties of the law. The neglect of any man to register increases the bur- den upon those who do appear; every effort should therefore be made to reach all persons who ought to regis ter but who have not done so. Under the terms of the telegram, a copy of which is given in another communi- cation. enclosed herewith, you may still take the registration of those per- sons who have failed before this to appear; but in case of wilful and continued refusal to register the fact should be at once reported in writing | to the United States District Attorney at Hartford, with such details as will make it possible for him to investi- gate the case and particularly with all possible evidence bearing upon the age of the. suspected person.
 "A compliance with this duty re- quires that your board should itself
 examine into every case where a fail- | ure to register is suspected. And the | faithful performance of that duty by every registration board in the state
 is the only way to make the registra- ton complete and accurate.
 Marcus H. Holcomb, 1 Governor"

CATHOLIC LEAGUES PRAYERS. For Speedy Adjustment of Industrial Conditions After the War-August Intention.

The Apostleship of Prayer. which has many members in the Norwich Catholic parishes, has for it's general intention for August, as recommended by His Holiness, Pope Benedict XIV, prayer for the speedy adjustment of industrial conditions after the war.
 The August League leaflet says:
 This intention will appeal to our associates. I will be vital after the war. Class hatred between capitol and labor a1layed by the war, unless self control is used in adjusting condi- tions. will be intensified and strength ened.
 Capital must see to it that wages ire just: conditions. work and living improved: hours of labor shortened: in one word that the human machine be treated with at least the same care that is given to machinery and dead instruments of production. Capital must admit labor to it's rights and to a fuller and fairer share of it's pro- fits.
 Labor must cultivate an interest in its production and give not it's poorest. not it's meanest, but it's best The laboring man has the right to Gnionize for the protection of his rights and for the urging of his claims. But he must look to it that these are not defended by unjust means. He must try to forget and to forgive and forget. The working man must guard against the princi- ples of Socialism which draw him away from his church. In his efforts for just wages, shorter hours. better conditions and fuller participation in profits, the sympathy and the efforts of his church are ever with him. The church will support him in every legitimate effort against injustice. Improvements are slow. He must not be led away into hasty rejection of his religious principles The fight for justice must be carried on by brains and not by bullets but by law pub lie opinion, and prayer.

POTATO CROP IS CONSIDERABLY OVERESTIMATED
Proper Storage Facilities Will Insure
 Fair Price to the Producer.

The potato crop of the state is con- siderably overestimated and all that is needed to insure a fair price to the producer is proper storage facili- ties to prevent a glut of the market at digging time.
 That is the conclusion reached at the conference of potato gowers of the state which met at the headquar- ters of the Committee of Food Supply of the State Council of Defense.
 The storage problem, according to the facts brought out at the meeting, is very largely a local enc and one which must be approached differently in different communities. In New Britain the question has been at least partially solved by putting the cellars of the churches and schools into con- dition to use for potato storage.
 It was the opinion of the growers that potatoes will not be unusually low this year.
 Waiter Goodwin of the Committee of Food Supply presided. Those at tending the meeting were: Paul S. Nay, Pennington; J. B. Pheffers, Dan- bury; H. s. Pollard, New Britain; Mayor George Quigley, New Britain; P. F. McDonough, New Britain: R. J. Spier, Enfeld;- P. A. Sears, Elmwoed; John Mckinstry. Rockville: John R. Buck, Hartford; H. B.

PAUPER BURIALS.
Statute Does Not Cover Burial ir
 Connecticut Hospital for Insane.

Dr. G. Floyd Havi1and of the Con- recticut Hospital for the Insane at MiddletowE has asked Attorney Gen eral George E. Hinman as to whether chapter S9 of the Public Acts of 1907 is applicable to the burial of pau the Connecticut Hospital for the In sane Such a burial. in an opinion made public Monday by the attor- ney general. is not within the pro- visions of this section, and failure to comply with all the requirements of the section does not constitute a vio- lation of it.
 The act reads that when a pauper not an inhabitant of a town where he lives, or state pauper. shall die. the selectmen of the town where he is living shall give the pauper decent crepe covered casket, suitably trim med, and inclosed in an outside pine box, and for the expense the town where the pauper belongs. or if a state pauper. the state. shall pay a sum not exceeding s2250 to the town burving the pauper.
 Mir. Hinman's opinion is that the statute relates only to the case of a pauper dying while living in town of which he is not an inhabi- tant. in the sense that he has his pauper settlement there No statu- tory regulation is found as to the manner of burial of a pauper- living in a town of which he is settled in hfs9itant. He adds that by the amend ment to the section, however, the general assembly appears to have ex- pressed it's judgment to the mini mum requisites constituting de- cent burial for a pauper. which he feels might well be observed even in cases where the statute does not tech nically apply.

WOMAN PATROLS FOR
 THE ARMY CAMPS
One Has Already Been Secured to do
 Such Work in This State.

Women experienced in police and protection work are to patrol the mil itary camps of Connecticut, and one, formerly a government secret service agent has already been obtained to begin work Immediately, according to an announcement made by pr. Val eria H. Parker of Hartford. following a conference with Superintendent Egan of the state police.
 There are to- be five patrol women to cover all the camps, their salar- les of s15 a month having been ap- state council of defence. Dr. Parker, who is chairman of the committee on morals of the women's committee, council of defence, Connecticut divi- sion, appealed to the state council, of which Richard M. Bissel is chair man, for the means of providing fem mine patrols to keep women of un- desirable character from freQuenting the military camps, and to watch over soon after she was appointed chair man of her committee. The state council referred the matter 70 it's committee on medicine and sanitation. of which pr. Godfrey of Bridgeport is chairman. and the appropriation for the purpose was made following a conference attended by the com mittees headed by Dr. Parker and Dr Godfrey; representatives of the Home Guard and of the Red Cross.
 The names of the women who are to be appointed camp patrols will not be made public, Dr. Parker said, and their beats" would also be concealed for obvious reasons. They will wear civilian costumes and take every otf1- CT precautfon which will help them to mingle unostentatiously with the vis- itors to the camps
 No volunteer workers are wanted as patrols, according to Dr. Parker, as it is necessary to have experts who will be able to recognize the various types of characters with which they have to deal and have had experience in handling them. The salary of s75 month is not particularly generous for this type of activity it is said but with special arrangements for living it is expected to suffice. The salaries are to continue ag long as is neces- sary and the patrol women are to be officially recognized by the state po- lice. appointments being made by Dr. Parker in conference with Chief Fgan

Materials Have Been Purchased and

The Montville branch of the Ameri- can Red Cross society now numbers about 500, among the recent additions are Dennis Riley, Mrs. Ina Smith, Benjamin l.. Landphere. and twin daughters, Clarissa B. and C1arice E. Landphere, aged five years and the youngest member of the society.
 Materials have been purchased and some work has been done at the soci- ety's headquarters, and other work is being put out soon as possible.
 Mrs. Henry Dart of Palmertown is probably the first woman of the town to do Red Cross work. Some time ago Mrs. Dart was invited to do some work, by her niece, Mrs. Lewis Phin- ney, who is connected with the Red Cross work at Arlineton, Mass. Mrs. Phinney knowing Mrs. Darts abi1i- ties for knitting suggested that she might do some for a past-tine. Mrs. Dart accepted the offer. and material was sent, and in a short time Mrs. Dart completed the knitting and re- ceived an official acknowled gment from the Red Cross society. The needles with which Mrs. Dart knitted are of historic value having been handmade by a friend to knit for the soldiers of 61.
