HEAVY PENALTY FOR
BRISTOL AUTO MAN
Henry Cadarette Fined $40 As
Result Of Crash

The question whether Henry Cada-
rette Of Bristol had been chewing
"Spearmint'' gum or drinking liquor
on Thursday preceding an automo-
bile accident on the Plainville road
in which he was concerned on that
evening. seemed to be the crux of
his case in the police court this morn
ing.
He was before Judge James r,
Meskill on the three charges of reck-
less driving, operating a motor We
hicle without having his Operators
license with him and operating a
motor vehicle while under the in
fuence of liquor. Judge William J.
Malone appeared as counsel for the
defense. The case came into court as
the result of q collision in front of
the Traut place on Plainville road.
in which Cadarette and Samuel Cap
lin, an Arch street tailor. were con-
cerned.
Policeman A. G. Malone, who
passed the scene of the accident soon
after it happened, was the first wit
ness for the state. He testified that
he saw Cadarette's car on the south
side of the road, against the bank,
headed towards Bristol The left
front wheel, axle and a light were
| broken. When questioned, Cadarette
was unable to show his 1917 op-
orators license. His breath smelled
strongly of liquor and he was not in
any condition to operate a car. Ac-
cording to the policeman's testimony,
Cadarette told him that he was tray
cling along between twenty-five and
thirty miles an hour, but said later
that he was going between fifteen and
twenty miles an hour.
Policeman Hellberg, who went to
the scene of the accident in the po-
lice patrol, also testified that he
smelled liquor on Cadarette's breath
and told him that he had been drink
ink and Cadarette replied, 80 you
say"
Promised Blue Eyes.
Sam Caplin of ATS Arch street. the
driver of the second car in the &C
cident, said on the witness stand that
he saw a car zigzagging toward him
and brought his car to a stop, realiz-
ing that a collision was about to oc-
cur. He said that D. Goldberg, who
was in the front seat with him shout
ed to the driver of the Cadarette car
to look out Or he would run into
them. Then the crash came. Cold
berg said that after the accident he
asked Cadarette what was the mat
ter with him, but he was unable to
answer. He then demonstrated with
one of the other men in the Bristol
bound car, but the man told him to
keep still, saying: "I'll give you a
pair of blue eyes"
Cadarette said that he is in the
auto livery business in Bristol and
also carries the United States mail
from the station to the post Office. He
has driven cars in all more than
100000 miles and said he had never
been in an accident before. He
claimed that he came to New Brit
ain for the purpose of charging the
batteries in his car and had not had
a drink all day, and that all that the
policemen smelled on him was
"Spearmint" gum. He also said that
the girls in his party gave fictitious
names because they did not want
their names in the paper.

URGES HEALTH EDUCATION.
Equitable Says Draft Shows Need of
New Course in Schools.

The selective draft and the recruiting
of the regular army to full strength have
the need OF health education
in the United States, according to the
Equitable Life Assurance Society. In its
September Bulletin the society says;
An official news statement recently
issued by the Government indicates that
out of approximately 300 900 men who
volunteered for the army and navy for
the four and half months following
the declaration of war on April but AS,
$50 were accepted. This statement was
issued officially by the Government and
indicates rejection of Go per cent, among
vast body of men who thought they were
physically fit or they would not have
applied for military service In the face
of this evidence we will indeed be forum
ate if half the approximately 100000
young men of draft age are found fit for
military service.
I'VE may say that the Government
physical requirements for military pur-
poses are too strict Perhaps they will be
modified But this does not alter the fact
that each one of these men had some
physical impairment or defect which in
terfered with his efficiency as a soldier
These physical impairments will not cor
lrect themselves In fact, they will get
worse, and a large percentage of our vast
horde of physically substandard and low
powered men will early drift into sickness:
and premature death, for, owing to physi
cal degeneration, their power to resist
disease is steadily declining
What can be done to repair this vas
accumulation of damaged human machiner,
is indeed a serious question. But there i
another question even more vital than this

any more convincing evidence of the i'm
Iperative need of a thorough ard perma
nent system Of health education in on
schools?
THE time to teach people to avoid dis
ease is before they get it, With all of on
wealth and intelligence and scientifi
knowledge in the field of health conserve
ton we are allowing a large proportio
of our children to pass out of the school
into adult life physically below par an
knowing little or nothing of individua
hygiene. Some progress has been made i
introducing compulsory health educatio
in our schools, but not much The sent

Keep Your Fish Dry.

Strange as it may seem there is nothing
in the world that will spoil dead fish so
quickly as water. If your fishing condi-
tons are such as to prevent your keeping
your catch alive, by all means kill each
one as quickly as caught, and having done
so dry it and keep it dry. Remember
that a fish strung through the gills and
thrown oversize is doomed to speedy
death by suffocation. If you must string
them use one of the patent stringers that
holds through the jaw and gives the fish
fighting chance for life If, however
you can neither treat your catch in this
way nor turn them loose in tank, xii
them instantly, wipe them quite dry and
keep them sheltered from the sun. Fish
should not be packed SO that they come
in direct contact with ice; place a sheet
of nonabsorbent paper between. Avoit
damp moss or seaweed in your creel.

A writer to the New York World
makes the assertion that the government
of the United Kingdom of Great Brit
ain and Ireland, while nominally
monarchy, is in reality republic more
democratic than that of any other great
nation even including the United
States. He points out that the king
has not used his veto power since 1852
and the veto of the house of lords was
taken away in 1910, leaving final and
absolute power with the house Of COM
mons, elected by the common people.
In this body Ireland has a representa-
tive for every $4,000 population while
Great Britain has a representative for
every 10000. Out of a total population
of 100000 Ireland has 100000 voters,

All the vital features of government
export control, stripped of their legal
verbiage so that the busy man may
grasp them quickly, are explained in
the pamphlet, The Regulation of Elk
ports Under the Espionage Act, which
has Just been issued by the Guaranty
Trust company of New York. This
pamphlet, which is of particular i'm
portance to those concerned in foreign
trade. contains the list of articles which
cannot be exported without licenses,
and makes clear the restrictions gov
erning the two distinct classes of ex-
ports under government regulation. One
of these classes relates to the shipment
of articles to the enemy and to Euro
pean neutral countries; the other to
certain commodities whose export is pro
hibited to countries other than those
named in the first class. A list of des
tinations to which shipments are not
permitted, and list of those to which
shipments are allowed under licenses
are included. How and where licenses
may be obtained, and the nature of the
! information required to fill out TIL
forms of application are also clearly
| outlined.

tons" commenced Daddy.
"Of course, as every Weli-cOnducted

naturally the board of directors insist
