Soldiers Long

bath, change of clothing and real
bed. During the July and August Of
fensive when the Germans were driven
across the M3rue to the Ncsle and the
Americans on the move northward day
and night ii was no easy. matter to
provide the soldiers with these essen
tials but day after day the task was
accomplished and in many instances
the water for bathing purposes was
hot.
Further Improvement of the system
of providing baths for the men on the
very edge of the battle fields is con
tempiatcd. American officers say that
the day is not far away when the roll
ling shower bath apparatus will be as
common sight along the roads back
of the lines as are the rolling kitchens
TO day.
One OF the divisions engaged in the
recent fighting used forty-eight show
err heads and also disinfector in
which battle solled clothing was stcr-
lized.
Even with this mcager equipment
we have been able to keep. the fight

can battle 1900 to 1900 men each day.
During the offensive we averaged 1.o27
men per day. AS they were relieved
from the line they were either marched
to battle or transported In camions. AMI
every man was given n good. hot natn
.iHu Grange OF clOtnlnE. IN TOUR 0aNS
5.64e men and 1871 officers passed
through the baths.
The effect of the baths on the men
was wonderful. They came from tn.
front lines Worn out, dirty, clothing
torn. and left the baths spiard:diy
bucEcd up. physically and mentally.
AS most of these men had TO "o p;..;n
into the line few days after crin,uS
out. one can appreciate the value OF a
bath and change of clothing
1t was exceedingly gratifying to
feel that We did not necessarily cease
TO work while the division was in az
ton, at a time when il was very i'm e.
portant that the men coming back
should have the effect OF a bath ard
clean clothing"
The medical officers report sets forth
that the effects are under way to ar
range for transportation of the bath
ing equipment so as to continue the
bathing program whenever the division
moves to new aera"
In many instances the soldiers rest
camps are located along streams AMI
when this is the case the men are
taken In detachments of several hun
dreds at time for a real summer
swim and allowed to remain in the
water as long as they like. But up
front, when baths are being provided
within sound of the big guns, each
man is allowed SO many minutes in the
water and he comes out looking tor-
ward to getting back to civilization
and contemplating spending an hour
or so in nice big tub.

protected on their annual fights through Canada and the United States.
 Shooting seasons will be regulated by the Federal Authorities, the State authorities cooperating, according to general conditions, rather than the To- cal desire or whim of the various States.
 There will be no open season for ducks in Connecticut, say, while New York, across the Sound, has a closed season. Regulation of shooting will be by zone.
 There will be no shooting during mating seasons. Non-game birds will have thorough and complete protec- ton.
 The advantage of this is not alone in the conservation of bird life. There will accure to the country a tremend- ous advantage economically by reason of the work of the birds permitted to live
 Some varieties of game birds and most varieties of o-game birds are destroyers of noxious insects, bugs and beetles, and harmful rodents, or are eaters of weed seed. These birds will protect and aid the farmers by their forays on plant lice, fruit scale, the boil weevil, the gypsy moth, grasshop- perS, the canker worm, mosquitoes, flies, rats, field mice and weeds in general.
 Crops and trees worth millions of dollars will be saved by the energy of the feathered friends of the nation. In turn, some of them will exact of the farmer or gardener a little of his ripe fruit but the damage they do in this respect will be almost negligible com pared with the total of the aid they give.
 It has been a long and hard fight. this one which is now nearing com pletion. The idea originated with the American Game Protective Associa- tion, which worked for and had passed the original migratory bird law. This was extended to apply to Canada un- der Britain and the United States, so that the protection for bird life will be continent-wide.
 The project has been supported by the National Association of Audubon Societies and the more liberal State officials and spoFtsmen of the nation, who have recognized that conflict of State authority and local priviledges or jealousies were fast destroying one of the continents greatest assets.

 Last Thursday the Trade School lost tEeir first game of the season to Bartlett High of Webster in a poorly played game by the score of p to $. The loss of the game was directly due to poor fielding by the Trade School team.
 Putnam High.
 By E, H. Snow, Sub. Mastery
 Putnam High School has lost it's first two games but having five new men in the field we could not expect championship form so early in lhs season. It is most satisfying. however, from Putnamls point of view that our own team is practically made up of Sophomores and Freshmen which bids fair to produce for our school a cham pionship team within the next two years.
 After losing to Webster in very poorly played game the team Tues day played Killingly and with the ex- ception of two innings played nearly perfec. baseball Putnam's batting is not all that is to be desired, but we are paying special attention to this feature of our work this spring. AL though not perhaps, of championship calibre, Putnam has a fighting team full of aggressiveness and a teain which before the season is over will have to be reckoned with by the very best teams in the league.
