REFUSED INFORMATION

A man who is alleged to have been ex- posed to the disease was placed in the jail at Ensley yesterday. He refused to give out any information in regard to himself or to be vaccinated Several The cases seem to be pretty well scat tered over the city, and no one section is reporting very much larger num- Der than another. One case in Bessemer was brought into contact with about 20 or 90 reople yesterday. Those who were exposed will be rounded up today and vaccinated.
 The city and county health authorities are doing all in their power to prevent a further spread of the disease and are making a plea for the whole-hearted CO., operation of the entire community, stat ing 1t will be by this method only that practical results can be obtained. The doctors of the city are urging their clients to submit to voluntary vaccina- tion in order that drastic and far-reach- ing measures may not have to be taken by the department In this work
 SCHOOL CHILDREN
 All school children entering school again today will have to exhibit a fresh scar or a certificate testifying to their recent vaccination Every means will be exhausted in an effort to stamp out this disease.
 It was reaffirmed by Dr. Bowling last night that compulsory vaccination would soon be resorted to If great check on the spread of the disease was not made within the next few days. We have ample authority under the health laws to enforce this vaccination" said Dr. Bowling, and in the present emergency we will not hesitate to issue the order if it becomes apparent that the spread of the disease endangers the people of this city and county enough to Justify the act. Now. of all times. every possible effort must be made to preserve the pub lie health"

SWEDISH CHURCH
 DEOICATES FLAG SHOWING SERVICE

Dedication of a service flag con- talnlng 10 stars marked the patriotic service at the Swedish Baptist church Sunday night and brought home to the members in visible form the fact that some of their boys were serving, Uncle Sam in the great war. Rev. Herman Litorin, the pastor, made an impress i've address in dedicating the flag.
 Specially procured for the occasion was City Attorney Gustaf B. Carlson. of Middletown, who made a charac- teristcally strong speech, arousing the fervor of his auditors and leaving them with the impression that in addition to what they had already dcne to help win the war they muo. strive still harder in that direction This concludes the series of patriotic meetings in Swedish churches arrang- ed by the Bridgeport War Bureau, which feels under particular obliga- ton to MT. Carlson for his earnest cooperation and expresses it's sin cere appreciation of his efforts in Bridgeport.
 Patriotic music was sung by the choir, and the congregation joined i2 national anthems. The church was crowded and several not regularly members of the congregation attend ed. Attorney Carlson was introduc- e6 by Justice George W. Wheeler.

SPECIAL RULES
 FOR BAKERS ARE
 CHANGED LITTLE

Hartford, June 11.-All the special rules and regulations governing ba- kers, licensed by the United States Food Administration, are included in a new compilation, revised up to May 8, copies of which will soon be issued by the Food Administration.
 The numbering and arrangement of these special bakers rules is slightly changed from the old compilation, come of the alterations being as fol- lows:
 Rule A-3. Vegetable shortening is defined to include all compounds which do not contain hog fat.
 Rule As. Stocks of sugar as well as of wheat flour which bakers may carry are now limited to thirty days supply, and stocks of shorten ing to a sixty days supply.
 Rule AT. No limit is placed on the amount of wheatless bread which may be served in public eating places this new rule affecting number of the larger hotels which have signed the "no-wheat-pledge."
 IkulS 40. 1ldCOS ICSIIlCllDIS OU II16 use of sugar by bakers engaged in ma king confectionery or any products other than bakery products.
 Bakers. who are licensed by the Food Administration, and all bakers using more than three barrels of flour month must be licensed, are warn ed not to increase their bread busi- ness not to use more than their le- gal allotment of wheat not to make any rolls containing more than one third wheat flour, to sell three fourths pound loaf of bread to cus- toners who have been buying a one pound loaf and that they make breads of Class 5, containing one third wheat for use in hotels, restaurants, board ing houses and all other public eating places.
 Some Connecticut bakers who were asked on May 2 to file reports giving the quantity of wheat and the quan- tity of wheat flour substitutes used in making all bakery products except bread and rolls during the months o1 February, March and April, have fail. ed to do so and Washington is agair asking these delinquents to file thei1 reports by the end of this week under penalty of recommendation that theil bakers licenses be revoked.

SOLDIERS GAIN
 ON ARMY DIET

That the average gain in weight throughout the Army is g pounds per soldier is the message which Major John R. Murlin, of the food division of the Surgeon Generals Office, Wash 1ngton, D. C., sends to the mothers and wives. This division is concern ing itself with all phases of the prop CT feeding oS the Army, from the sci entific standpoint of nutrition during the "muscling period to the spe- cial diets for patients in the hospitals.
 With regard to the meat allowance of 3-4 pounds per man in the Amer tcan army, which is higher than the allowance of the British, French and Italian armies. Major Murlin reports:
 Meat stimulates heat production in the body more than any other food stuff. Therefore. it assists in keep ing the body warm in cold weather There Is some evidence that for a quick delivery of maximum energy such as may be necessary in getting 'over the top, high protein diet is necessary, We certainly desire thai the American soldier shall have plenty of punch to his fight. If high pro- tein diet will insure this punch, mo- body, I am sure. will begrudge him al the meat he feels like eating.

INTERNATIONAL
 EGG CONTEST

First honors in the thirty-frst week of the laying contest were won by a 1Connecticut pen of Leghorns entered Eby George Phillips of Seymour. The weeks yield for this pen of ten birds pen of the same breed from Union town, Pa, were close second with a yield of 60 eggs. The Agricultural College pen of "Oregons" from Cor wallis, Ore, were in third position with 5S eggs to their credit. A pen of Buff Wyandottes entered by H. P. Cloves, East Hartford, Conn, and Tom Baron's White Leghorns from Cat forth, England tied for fourth place with 57 eggs each. The total pro duction for all pens was 4,292, or a yield of little over 61 per cent. This 1s nearly 100 eggs less than for the previous week and nearly 200 eggs under the yield for the corresponding week last year.
 From time to time there have been made in these columns various sugges- tions which are almost sure to make for better egg production. A partial enumeration of those factors that can be almost entirely controlled by the poultrynan would include segrega- tion of the males after the matching season. providing an abundance of green food in summer as we'll as win ter, a close inspection of the poultry houses to guard against red mites, making sure that the birds have a bountiful supply of clean, fresh wa ter; all of which are an aid in get ting the maximum number of eggs from any given flock of hens. A re- cent survey of the situation as con- iditions actually exist on a number of farms in Connecticut proves almost conclusively that the successful poul- tryman must get more than the aver age number of eggs. A great many hens are laying not more than eight dozen eggs a year and this is not enough. One ought to get at least two or three more eggs a month which would meth ten to eleven dozen eggs year, or else seriously consider the advisability of either relinquishing the poultry game or else procuring better stock.
 The three best pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows:

PERCENTAGE OF AIR ACCIDENTS
 VERY SMALL

An Aviation Camp in France, June n.---(Correspondence of The Associ- ated Press s.)---Criticism in one Amer ican newspaper of the American Air Service on the ground that there has been an unnecessarily large number of accidents has evoked retort from Plane News, published by the Amer ican aviators in training here.
 Records show, says the aviators' or gan, that about 60 made the supreme sacrifice last year while in training. One American newspaper, it asserts, has endeavored to account for these fatalities as having been caused by | "cramped space" which the men have to fly in and has asked whether "the supervision of our aviation camps is | in the hands of officers who know their business
 Only a small percentage of the fa- talities which have been caused by | collision and other causes were of various nature which were beyond any government control" says Plane News. '"The majority of instruction centers have outlying fields where men in the various stages in training are confined.
 "The officers in charge are as com petent as can t,e had. Many are West Point men of long military training and nearly all have become expert aviators themselves. They know, if anybody ever will, the dangers of fly ing and the necessary precautions to take.
 Tight places are bound to con front every pilot in the course of his training ard are the finest examples in the world if the aviator is able to navigate the dangers with success, for i: gives him the needed confidence fol similar experiences in the future. Safe flying is largely matter of in- tuition, which sense can only be ac' Quired through constant practice o- iong duration.
 "The training of an aviator, from the beginning, assumes practically the same dangers as actual service in the air at the front, which is not the case in the training of any other branch in the service. Therefore it is little wonder that the loss of a few men in training should stir the public to be lieving that carelessness has had its part in causing the losses.
 The machlne pllOt DeglnS on Is safer than each succeeding machine he is taught to handle and it is sig nificant to note just what training will do for the flyer. For instance the casualties for the most part come when the pilot is operating the larg- est and safest planes. Few casual ties are recorded of the lighter and faster types which are exceedingly hard to handle and susceptible to the least wrong move on the part of the pilot
 Considering that in practice there is practically the same danger ele- ment as there is in flying at the front, the percentage of casualties is very low in comparison to the grear number of flyers in training. Were the actual figures made known O just what is bning accomplished 1T daily flights, landings, mileage and
 acrobatics, surprising facts would b revealed as to just how wonderful z progress is being made in American aviation with such little loss"
