with mishap and yesterday two be- came mixed up in minor accidents and had to call for outside aid. Tester day afternoon a small truck was coming down Damon's hill and as it reached the flats another machine coming from the rear caused the driver of the first vehicle to pull to the left and he went over the bank and into the lots. When the machine came to a halt all four wheels were caught in the soft mud and the men in charge had to get another machine to pull 1t out.
 Yesterday afternoon . truck be- longing to the Cremo Brewing com pany of New Britain became caught in the mud while unloading at Whites cafe and before the machine could be released the entire load had to be taken off. With the weight decreased and a pair of horses the machine was soon released.

home of Postmaster W. W. Pagan last evening it was decided to postpone the annual dance until a later date. Original plans called for the dance on May IT in the Town hall but the smallpox situation and the postpone ment of all pubic meetings in the Worthington section called for a change. The committee considered holding the dance in Foresters hall on the same date but the fact that many out of town people said they would not come while the situation remained what they considered dan- gerous caused 8 vote against the idea. It is expected that the dance will not be postponed over two weeks. Plans are still being discussed for the pa rade and flag raising which will be held in Kensington on May 19. It was intended that all the school chill dren should take part but new plans have been made and the pupils of the Kensington Grammar school will be the only children in the town to take part. Final arrangements and the line of march will be announced later All the societies in the. town have been invited to take part in the celebration and many have signined

 There is . disposition on the part of some. however, to suggest that in- stead of buying the flag for tho Home Guard the ladies and children secure tho banner for the soldierx monument plot in the center of the town. They argue that as only the flrst company in the regiment carries a nag when the troops parade together tho Plain- vile organization would probably have but little chance to use the gift, whereas the nag would serve as . con- stant reminder of the principles oa which the nation was founded should 1t fly from . pole in the center of the town.

RAPs NEW BRITAIN, TOO

Dr. Roger M. Griswold, health ofh- cer of the town of Berlin, in a letter to the Herald today. replies to crit icism aimed at him recently In q com munication to the Herald by Col. Charles M. Jarvis. The criticism was inspired by the manner in which the smallpox situation had been handled. In his letter, Col. Janris said that, If h< were selectman and did not have authority to handle the situation. he would take it. Dr. Griswold replies that Col Jarvis would not take the authority from him. pr. z Griswold also criticises the health authorities of New Britain for placing an embargo against Berlin children who are at tending New Britain schools. The letter follows:
 Editor New Britain Herald.
 Dear Sir:
 1As you have accorded the use of your columns to one of our leading citizens, for the purpose of public criticism of the town officials of Ber- lin, 1t seems no more than just that . reply from an authoritative source should be given an equally prominent piace in the Herald.
 ..I wish to preface what have to ray by stating. first. that am willing to be held personally responsible in all ways for what I say, and that I am not. like the author of the letter referred to, talking about something of which I have knowledge only from rumor. gossip and inaccurate second. third or fifth hand say so.'
 ''Second, it Is one of the easiest, but one of the most reprehensible things for any one to do. and espe-. daily for . prominent man in . pman community. to criticise and find , fault with others who are trying to sdo their duty under difficult condi- hions. Tho author of the letter re- ksrred to Is reported to have repeat AdlN said, that he was scared stif' be- c4uge there were cases of smallpox in Aarlin, and my experience as . physi- dfn, and the common sense of every lAt4lligent man tells me that one who II bcared stin' Is not in the proper naen&al condition to exercise good judg- m1nt, or give advice to disturbed conmunity.
 (It is unpleasant to make . public criticism of this kind, of any prom 1nent man, and am only doing it becApse feel it is my duty to the pubic at large that they know the 2 3actA after being for 50 long fed on x . d1et of gossip. nisstatements and

 SALE OF LIQUORS /! Local Manufacturers Talk of | Sending Petition to Legislature SCOUT MASTER IS AGITATED Marino Locks Up Two for Intoxica-
 tion-Conservator Appointed for Aged Blind woman-rown Teams to Be Used in Oean-up Uamnaipn. Following the lead taken by manu- lecturers in other places, owners of local factories. 1t was reported this morning, contemplate sending a De- titton to the general assembly favor- ing the passage of . bill which would give the governor of the state cer- tain authority over tho sale of NQuorD during the war. Ono of their number declared himself to be in favor of the measure and he expected that before action is taken by the legislature Plainville manufacturers will have forwarded their endorsement to the lawmakers.
 While there Is disposition on tho part of some to oppose authorizing the governor to prohibit the sale of liquor entirely while the war is in pro- gress. particularly because of the ob- jection to the granting of 50 much power to . single individual. there Is strong sentiment for some measure that will permit of placing restrictions on the liquor business during the nations hour of stress.
 The proposed amendment concern ing the opening of saloons only from 2 8. m. to 10 p. m. and the suggestion that the governor be authorized to close cafes only when the owners operate them unwisely or to declare for prohibition in districts where the sale of liquor is liable to cause trouble seems to meet with the ap- proval of some of the local captains of industry and their petition to the general assembly will probably be along these lines.
 Prohibition workers have been cen- tering their efforts here for some time and the town seems to be taking an unusually active part in all move ments tending towards 1essening or eliminating entirely the sale of liquor. While the local workers declare the town will go dry in the fall without any question they claim they are not content to let matters rest even there and they propose to help in efforts to make the state and perhaps the nation saloonless.
 Marine Gets Two.
 Thomas Grady and Sam Hodges. the latter a negro. are locked up in the town building. where they are awaiting arraignment before Justice A. H. Condell on charges of breach of the peace. They were taken into custody yesterday by Constable Philip Marine.
 Hodges, who is one of the gang brought to this section from Baltimore to do street work, was making a nuisance of himself at the depot while waiting for Waterbury train and complaint was made to the omcer, his arrest resulting.
 Grady was on his way to Simsbury to work on a farm. He was found at the certer in an intoxicated condition and was brought to the lock-up.

Lo que ell Campo Travis gastara,
diariamente, en- la alimentacion de
sus hombres, alcanzara Ia suma de
Sl3.S32.70 c~entavos.

de manteca, de aceite, de sal; cuantos

Y este, apenas 81 es parte del con-
tingente militar con que Ia ciudad
