CHARLEY PATTERSON DIES
Noted Trainer Who Developed
Mighty Omar Khayyam Succumbs
to Acute Indigestion.

NEW YORK. March 2s-charies r.
Patterson. one of the most famous train
'ers Of thoroughbreds in the world. died
yesterday morning in his home at Queens,
l.. L, from acute indigestion. Mr.. Patter-
son was Ill on Sunday, but recovered suf-
ficientiy to visit Belmont Park track on
Monday and train his charges, belonging
TO Robert L. Gerry.
Charley Patterson was forty nine
years old. He was born at Pittsburgh.
He had three brothers. all of whom were
engaged in the horse business. His father
at one time was interested in trottng
horses.
Few trainers on the American turf were
as well known or as popular as Mr.. Pat
terson. In the halcyon days of the turf
he developed the speed of the immortal
Hamburg and Ornament, and recently
added to his fame by discovering and de-
veloping the speed of the mighty Omar
Khayyam. He purchased the champion
three -year-old of last year for c. X. G
Billings and Fred johnson in England
as a. yearling, for $1,000. and on his ar
rival here declared that Omar Khayyam
was the equal OF either Hamburg or Or
nament. To majority of veteran turf
men this seemed unbelievable, but early in
1917 Mr.. Patterson reiterated this state
ment and two months later Omar won
the Kentucky derby After this victory
Mr.. Billings quit the racing game and
sold the Persian Poet to Wifred Viau,
q Canadian horsenan, for $4,000.
When MIR. Billings sold out his able
Charley Patterson was without job, but
only for a few months. for Robert l..
Gerry. then forming a stable, employed
him.
With the small string belonging to Mr.
Gerry the noted trainer had more than a
fair amount of success. He took Sharp
shooter, which had been racing through
the field, and turned him into a first
class sprinter and won several ra oes
with him.

SC0VILLE APPEALS
FOR CONSERVATION
Wants Housewives to Cooperate
During Festive Season

With the approach of New Years
eve and it's anticipated double cele-
bration in consequence of last years
quiet observance, Federal Food Ad-
ministrator Robert Scoville has is
sued through the home economics de-
partment of the food administration
an appeal to Connecticut citizens, es-
pecially women, to practice food con-
servation during the holidays and to
forego the fourth meal at all times
until released by word from the food
administration.
Mr.. ScovilIe's announcement is as
follows:
''Our desire to mark the close of
this war with social celebration is
only natural. Nevertheless the re-
quest of the food administration that
the fourth meal be discontinued is
again called to the attention of our
people. AS long as millions of people
are in danger of actual starvation,
good taste as we'll as common hu-
mainly suggests the appropriateness
of simple hospitality. The extra meal
and 1avishness in food cannot be de-
Tended while famine threatens Eu
rope"
By a. closer cooperation between
housewives 6Ilu STOCSIS, f6u0IdI Il oOu
Administrator Robert Scoville be-
lieves the retailers will be enabled to
get rid Of some surplus stocks of the
former wheat -four substitutes and at
the same time the housewives may
secure bargains in these former sub
stitutes which are now selling cheap
er than wheat flour.
Mr.. Scoville has made the follow
ing announcement on the matter:
1.-The repeal of the rule requiring
the use of substitutes in bread seems
to be considered by many as a posi-
tive order to use nothing but wheat
bread. For nearly a year we have
been using breads containing a great
er or less percentage of cereals other
than wheat which have been pro-
nounced wholesome and palatabIe.
If the housewife and the baker will
continue to use all these substitute
f1ours, reducing the percentage if
they choose, it will enable our deal
ers to dispose of their remaining
stocks. These substitute f1ours are all
selling below the cost Of wheat, and
there will therefore be a slight econ
o1ny in their USE

State Board Sends Two Nurses Here
to Collect Data.

Since the epidemic of influenza the
state board of health has had several
nurses busy taking a survey of gen
eral health conditions throughout the
state. They have visited nearby towns
and cities and now two of them have
come to New Britain to make the
survey. The two nurses working here
are Miss Brooks and Miss Clark. Their
work really consists in securing data
on the past epidemic, but they are
also combining other features, such
as investigating tenements etc, with
their work. There are regular cards
to be filled out by these visiting
nurses, telling the number of cases
of influenza, the number of deaths
that resulted, and the period of the
epidemic.
The making Of a tenement survey
will be watched by the residents of
the city with much interest as it is a,
long while since such a work was done
here. The last time such a survey
was made was during the term of Dr.
Henry T. Bray as health officer. The
survey made then showed considera-
| BILE crowding in the city tenements.
Considerable time and effort has been
spent by the board of health to rem

lar inspectors employed to investigate
and inspect tenements.
