GOVERNOR ISSUES PROCLAMATION ON
 FIRE PREVENTION

Governor Marcus H. Holcomb has issued a proclamation calling upon Connecticut citizens to observe Tues day, October g, as Fire Prevention Day. The Governors proclamation. follows:
 Destructive fires are a misfortune at any time, but under present condi- tions when every resource in the state and country is strained to the limit, destruction of property by preventa- ble fires is a calamity which it is a public and private duty to guard against by every possible means.
 Recognizing the continuing neces- sity and great importance of fire pre- vention the General Assembly re- quires the Governor by proclamation to annually designate a day which shall be observed in the schools, and in compliance with said mandate I designate Tuesday, October ninth,
 Fire Prevention Day
 and commend the subject to the con sideration of the people, adults and children, that all practicable means may be adopted to safeguard against preventable destructive fires.

BIRD HUNTERS WARNED.
Must Observe Both State and Fed
 el-al Laws as to Migratory Fowl.

eraI Laws as to Migratory Fowl.
 Hunters who contemplate taking migratory water fowl will do well to keep in mind that. since the Presi- dents proclamation putting into eff feet the protective treaty entered into with Canada, they must observe both State tand Federal closed seasons.
 The Federal law and regulations limit the seasons before and after which no one may shoot these birds. If a state law opens the season later or closes 1t earlier than the dates pre- scribed by the Federal regulations, the season in that state is just so much further shortened. Special at tention is called to the fact that the Federal regulations do not authorize any one to hunt or kill migratory birds contrary to the state law.
 . Tn certain states, as, for example, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas. Ken lucky Missouri and South Dakota, the season for shooting migratory !, water fowl under the state law would open prior to the date of opening un- der the Federal regulations were :t not for the fact that the Federal reg ulations supersede state laws in such , cas- of conflict and prescribe fol these states Sept. 16 as the beginning of the open season.
 Under the Migratory Bird Treaty act regulations 1t is lawful to hum waterfowl. (except wood ducks. eidel ducks. and swans, for which there Il no open season,) rails. coot, galli

BAKER SEES OUR MEN STARTING ON
 NEW OFFENSIVE
Tanks Formed Effective Part of Attacking
 Force.

With the American Army on the Champagne Front, Thursday, Sept. 26, S:3O a. m-Secretary of War New ton D. Baker witnessed the begin ming of the American drive along the front northwest of Verdun this morn ing at 5;3O o'clock after the enemy positions had been bombarded with high explosives and gas shells, the American infantry advanced.
 Squadrons of tanks again formed an effective part of the attacking force, especially in the region of Chepey. These Hand battleships' moved up with the infantry, smash ing down wire entanglements and routing the enemy from machine gur nests. The work of the American airplanes was one of the features of the combat. An aerial barrier was maintained over the line, preventing the enemy from observing the move tho airmen swooped low over the enemy's trenches and materially as- sisted the advancing infantry.
 Without hitch and absolutely ac- cording to schedule, the entire line was moving right into positions par alleling the line of attack.
 Last nights bombardment of the German lines preparatory to the at- tack begun this morning was a mag nif1cent spectacle. It was cloud less night and thousands of guns, all firing furiously, wreathed the hills in a ceaseless sparkle of flame like my riads of fire flies. For six hours the roar of the cannon, like the roll of giant drum. was unbroken.
 The enemy, during the 48 hours preceding the attack, had increased his reserves in this region from four to twenty-three divisions.
 Prussian guards defending Vau- quois, there being three divisions in the line and one in reserve, strongly resisted the advance of the American troops early today. They were in structed to hold the town at al costs.
 By a general review of the fight after many hours, it is evident the | enemy Is stubbornly retiring to pre- l pared lines to which all his heavy ar | tillery has been withdrawn. This was the reason that his artillery re- action was inadequate during the ear | ly phases of the battle.

Purebred Holstein Cow.

Holstein cattle are of black and
white color. They are docile and even
tempered, not good ''rustlers," and do
best when plenty of feed is available.
Holstein cows average about 1850
pounds and bulls $500 pounds in
weight. The average of milk produc-
ton is high, but the percentage of but
terfat is comparatively low.
Among Holsteins, 5000 cows that
had completed yearly record for adj
vanced registry averaged 14,622.7
pounds of milk, testing 3.424 per cent
butterfat, amounting to 5O0.7 pounds
of Cat. The ten highest producers of
this breed averaged from 31,246.9 to
2S,2g64 pounds of milk, an average,
for these ten of 29,S9S.4 pounds of
milk. The ten highest Holstein but
terfat producers averaged from
1.205.O9 to 1,017.2s pounds, an aver
age, for these ten. of 1,090.S9 pounds
of butterfat.

ALL PREPARED FOR MEASLES
indianapolis Newspaper Treats Ad-
vent Of Disease as Something Of
Which TO Make a Jest.

Have you had the measles yet?
Well, just be patient. 1t is only a
matter of time.
A physician was asked how he ac-
counted for the great number Of cases
of measles this year, and he smiled
and said that the old germs were all
frozen during the very cold weather
and that they were trying out the new
supply. Professional men have such
charming manners, which invariably
accompany those evasive answers.
One never knows whether they are
afraid of disclosing state secrets or
whether the sweet smile and graceful
bow are serving in an armorial ca
pacity.
&c. If you awaken some morning and
your forehead is a mass of little
patches of carmine and your throat
feels dry and your head feels hot. don't
be alarmed. 1t simply means that
you have been chosen to become q
member of the Ancient Accepted Or
der Of Measleites, and that the initia-
ton has begun. A five days vacation
is about to be thrust on you, which
you will enjoy, more or less, probably
less, particularly If you have the
"Hun" variety, which Is as treacher-
Gus as the name implies.
OF course, If you are pressed for
time, there is 24-hour kind which is
very good. 1t has all the appearances
of the genuine article without any Of
the disagreeable features. The doc
tors call 1t Dukes disease" but 1t be-
longs to the measle family, and you
will be perfectly safe (and considera-
bly, more comfortably in selecting that
kind.-Indianapons News.

PROOF THAT WORLD MOVES
Simple Little Experiment VIII Con-
vince the skeptieaI Of Fact Pretty
Generally Conceded.

Take a good-sized bowl, fill 1t nearly
full of water and place it upon the
floor of a room which is not exposed to
shaking or Earring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water,
a coating of lycopodfum powder. Then
upon the surface Of this coating of
powder make, with powdered charcoal,
a straight black line, say, an inch or
two in length.
Having made this little mark with
the charcoal powder on the surface
Of the contents of the bowl, lay upon
the floor close to the bow a stick or
some other straight object, so that 1t
will be exactly parallel with the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with
q crack in the floor or with any sta
tionary object in the room, this will
serve as well.
Leave the bowl undisturbed for a
few hours and then observe the po-
sition of the black mark with reference
to the object with which 1t was
parallel 1t will be found to have moved
In the direction opposite to the move
ment Of the earth on its axis. The
earth in simply revolving has carried
the water and everything else in the
bowl around with it, but the powder
on the surface has been left behind
little.
The line will always be found to
have moved from east to west, which
is perfectly good proof that everything
else has moved the other way.

DAIRY
FACTS
SLAUGHTER OF DAIRY CATTLE
Because Of Lack of Feed in Europe
Many Animals Have Been Killed
Milk Supply Decreased.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
Although dairy cattle are economical
users of feedstuffs and although they
will convert coarse, inedible material
into a human food, still they must
have some grain for maximum produc-
ton. When animals convert feeds
such as grain, that can be used direct
by human beings, they usually do so
at a loss of human food. In times Of
extreme food shortage, therefore, ami
mails are killed for human food and
the grain used directly. In some OF
the continental countries this policy
has been followed because of the lack
of feeds and the need of meat. Most
of the dairy countries of Europe have
depended upon imports for large
part of the grains or concentrates for
dairy cattle. This supply has been
largely cut off, with the result that In
some countries there has been a tend
ency to decrease the number of anil
mails. Because of these frets, millions
of dairy cattle have beer slaughtered
in Europe since the war began. The
lack of milk that has resN ed has en-
tailed great suffering in some sec
tions, especially among children. It
is important, therefore. that such a
situation be prevented In this country
so far as possible. If, BIZ economical
feeding and the utilization of feeds
that are not necessary for humans,
the dairymen of the coun ~ could con-
serve their herds until after the war,
they would render great service to
humanity. With the great number of
animals killed in Europe and the in
crease in the rate of slaughter as the
war continues, the food shortage be-
comes more serious. When the strug
gle is over 1t will be impossible to meet
at once the demand for milk in the
countries where the greatest number
of cattle have been killed.
Efforts will be made, Of course, to
increase the number of dairy cattle,
but this requires time-several years,
In fact. The supply of grain, on the
other hand, can be increased more rap
idly, but there will probably bes de-
mand upon us for products from the
dairy, as well as for foundations for
herds, provided we keep our supply Of
| good animals This should be consfd-
| cred another reason for increasing, or
at least maintaining, the herds of dairy
cattle In this country.

The Browning machine gun has sue
cessfully undergone a test to deter
mine it's value for use with aircraft.
This is one of three types of machine
guns with which the rate of fire can
be so synchronized with the revolu-
tions of the propeller of tractor air
plane that the gun can be fired by the
pilot of combat plane through the
revolving blades.
Airplane propellers revolve at from
800 to 1000 revolutions per minute.
The machine gun is connected with
the airplane engine by a mechanical
or hydraulic device, and impulses from
the crank shaft are transmitted to the
machine gun. The rate of fire of the
machine gun is constant and its fire Is
synchronized with the revolving pro-
peller blades by wasting" a certain
percentage of the impulses it receives
from the airplane engine and by hav-
ing the remaining impulses trip or pull
the trigger so that the gun fires just
at the fraction of the second when
the propeller blades are clear of the
line of fire.
The pilot operates the gun by means
of lever which controls the circuit
and allows the impulses to trip the
trigger.
