COUNSEL NOT NEEDED
 IN MAKING CLAIMS.
Activities of Certain Agents Violate Spirit of War Risk Insurance Act.

The American Bar association de- sires to cooperate with the treasury department in combating illegal and reprehensible activities on the part of certain claim agents, pension attor- neys and other persons in seeking to obtain employment in connection with the collection or preparation of claims under the war risk insurance act.
 It has come to the attention. of the American Bar association that -un- scrupulous claim agents and pension attorneys are notifying benefciarieb who have occasion to make, claim un der the war risk Insurance act that they must employ counsel in order to be sure of obtaining payments from 1.-the government. In many instances beneficiaries have been induced to ad- vance substantial sums of money to these agents in return for the promise of a service which in all probability will be unnecessary sr
 These activities are in direct viola tion of the spirit of the war risk in- degree reprehensible and unpatriotic. Unless they are promptly and effect lively checked they will result in griev- |ous abuse, and will produce the same undesirable conditions which brought such discredit upon the previous war
  pension system.
 There is no necessity for the em- ployment of claim agents or attorneys for the collection of the benefits grant, ed by the war risk insurance act be- cause the process of such collection is exceedingly simple and the bureau of war risk insurance stands ready to render any and all assistance required. 4 great service can be rendered by making these facts clear to the de- i pendents of soldiers and sailors who
 are being approached by interruptions persons.
 Norwich lawyers have been advised that the suggestion of the American Bar association that the patriotic law
 yers of the country advise claimants
 free of charge of their rights under
 the law is deeply appreciated by the
 treasury department and affords 2 tsplendid opportunity for service to the
 na ton and to the men who are facing | the fire of battle. ~

Norwich is making. one of her best records of any of the large cities in, the state.
 The pupils are beinS taught to buy less candy, chewing gum, etc, and en- couraged to make their penny pa- triot penny by being thrifty and buy ing thrift stamps. They are taught that this will will the war, help to buy clothes, guns. munitions, and food supplies which our armies must have. frr thIs campaign of education the schools have an unprecedented oppor- tunity and obligation to cooperate with other departments of cur state and national governments.
 A list of problems has been intro duced in the upper grades which give the pupils new insight into the stu pendeus problems of the government. These arithnetcal problems deal with the subjects as follows:
 General problems in food conserva- tion Wheat problems. Why Australias wheat cannot be used. What one ounce per week waste means. Meat problems The cost of the meat we eat. Wasting one ounce per day. Problems on butter and other fats. Milk prob- l lens. Sugar. problems.

July the Hottest
Month
August Is Often a Close Sec
ond With Extreme Heat

Throughout the northern hemisphere
July is recognized as the warmest
month Of the year, though August Is
often q close second and has many
days of extreme heat. This heated
term in July continues, notwithstand-
ing the sun has begun its course Of re-
cession from the Tropic Of Cancer.
July was originally the fifth month
Of the Roman year and for that reason
bore the name "Quintilis." In the
Alban calendar 1t had 80 days. Romu-
lus reduced 1t to 81 and Numa to 80
days. So 1t stood for several centuries.
1t was restored to 81 days by julius
Caesar, who felt a personal interest
In Quintilis, as 1t was his birth month.
After the death Of Caesar, who had
largely reformed the calendar, Mark
Anthony changed the name to July In
honor of the family Of Caesar. 1t is
said ''this month was selected for this
distinction when the sun was most po-
tent to denote that julius was the en-
peror of the world and therefore the
appropriate leader of one-half Of the
year."
The Saxons called July the "hay
month" because the hay was usually
moved In that month. They also call
ed 1t the 'mead or meadow month"
from the meads being then in bloom.
