IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE WAR WORK

enty me nand Is women are engag- ed in the work, the women serving mainly as welfare room attendants.
 Conducted at first independently, the camp welfare work has been merged with the war relief work which the Christian Scientists were doing in for eign countries before the United States entered the war. For both these pur- poses bout $1,000,O00 have been raised.
 The aim of the Christian Science camp workers is to be as helpful as possible to call the men in the camps, whether or not they are Christian Sci entists, and particularly to give assist ance which may not be available at the time or place through any of the other camp welfare agencies. A fea- ture of this phase of the work is an arrangement for keeping soldiers and sailors in close touch with their re- latives.
 The camp workers say there is an increased willingness among the com manding officers and surgeons to allow Christian Science treatment for those men who ask for it, and many Christ ian Science headings have been rec erded. Recently two requests for Christian Science services in hospital wards were received by camp workers from medical nurses who had observed l the beneficial effects of Christian Sci ence treatment

STATE HOSPITAL PITCHER
 GASSED IN FRANCE

In letter recently received by Nor wich friends from Sergeant Robert O. Fletcher, now with the suply company of the 56th regiment, formerly sport ing editor of the Bulletin, he writes of seeing in a base hospital in France. Jim Hawkins, who used to pitch for the Norwich State Hospital baseball team. Hawkins was in the hospital, because he had been gassed, and will have some tale to tell when he gets back to the states writes sergeant Fletcher.
 Recently our boys were in big drive, his letter continues, not a Li- berty Loan drive, with three minute speakers, nor Red Cross drive with members of the fair sex knitting in store windows or soliciting in the theatres, and such places, but q clean up drive, similar to cleanup week at home, only a real one The boys all left their billets armed to the teeth with brooms, brushes and the like, ond they swept this little place so clean that I think the cobble stones in the street must have caught their death of cold. Like other drives that the good old Tanks launch, ours was suc- cessful. Now every week the town gets a once over and is kept very cledn ana tidy Dy our bOyS. Previous ly it was very dirty, the people threw all rubbish of every kind right into the streets in many instances. The Sammies are certainly showing these French people in mild way how tc live, putting into effect Yankee ideas which they are grasping. Before they get through the whole country will be Americanized.
 The Norwich boys are full of spirits and the civilian populace of Norwich l can rest assured that when their time comes they will do their duty ant
 in a way that the people will be prout I of.
 What they want now is word iron | home, from their friends. If you ooult l only see the scramble for the Bulletir
 which occurred the other day whe1
 one of the boys received one iron
 home. When the last one had finished
 reading it, the old sheet looked lik, l an old wornout ledger News iron

TROTTERS OF CLASS
 WILL RACE AT FAIR

The general consensus of opinion of the horsemen of this section is that there are going to be some races at the County Fair this year that will give everybody something to talk about for some time after the fair is over Never before has there been so many good horses entered for the rac- ing and the horses are mainly horses with a record so that it will take some battling before the division of the purses is decided.
 At Hills Grove op Aug. 14th. Piucky Chap won the 2.1S trot; six heats be- ing necessary to decide the race and the fifth heat being a dead heat, Pluclzy Chap won the third, fourth and sixth heat and the race.

BALD JACK" ROSE
 NOT EXACTLY ANGEL

That 'Bald Jack" Rose of Norwalk wasn't quite the little angel he paint ed himself, following the Rosenthal murder and his exposures, has been disclosed by the Easton Argus North ampton Democrat, a semi weekly pa Der published in Easton, Penn.
 This paper carried an article. well over two columns in length, deserib- ing the raid held in Northampton Heights and the adjacent section of Lower SaucOn township on Thursday, August 15. in which 84 men and wo- men were taken prisoners by federal officers, when a dozen or more disor- derly houses were raided.
 One paragraph of the article dis closes some interesting information as follows:
 Into the meshes of the law was drawn no less a parsonage than Gun man" Jack Rose, of New York, ac- cording to officers of the Bethlehem police force. Rose will be remembered for his connection with the famous Rosenthal murder in New York, for which Becker paid the penalty with his life. Recently Rose engaged in a gun fight with other desperadoes at the Heights. and it was rUmored for several weeks that he was operating 8 house of ill-fame in that vicinity However, his name does not appear in the list of prisoners, he evidently being taken care of higher up."
 Rose, if he has been taken into GUS tody and is to be taken care of by | federal authorities as the above para graph would indicate is liable to 8 | $1 900 fine or two years in prison, oi 1 both, that being the sentence accord l ing to regulations recently announced by Secretary of War Baker, for oper- eting a bawdy house within a ten mile zone of any army camp. The men who were engaged in this busi- ness were only a short mile iron Camp Coppee and only 9 few mile. from Camp Crane, Allentown.
 Rose is accused, it is learned, O being instrumental in bringing tli ''giris," if they can be called girls, to the Northampton Heights section and also to the section of Lower Sau
 con mentioned at the beginning 0
 this article. These two places ar
 just outside the city of Bethlehem

NORWICH NEEDS TO
 REPAIR ITS STREETS

Without evidencing a captious spirit of fault finding. The Day would, nevertheless, urge upon the good city of Norwich, the imperative duty of the latter to improve it's highways and make it possible for travelling auto mobiles to cross Norwich without agony.
 The road up through Thamesville especially at the upper end, is bad enough: the wretched Belgian blocks of the West Side bridge and Main street are awful. but the roads be- yond. and especially if one tries to get northeast ward by cross cutting over School street and Boswell avenue or up Union street, are in miserable condition.
 To drive over them conveys to the uniformed an impression that the late Mayor Thayer must have been right in what he said about the Yantie population, for such roads are far more fit for the slow and cautious paces of funeral processions than foi the passage of live traffic-New Lon don Day.

 While the racing has been attrac- tive always at the fair it is undoubt- edly the increased purses from $500 to- s1, 900 that has drawn such an ar- ray of talent to the fair. Even the big Danbury fair which is considered one of the best in New England fails to offer any purse to compare with the ones offered at the county fair this year and few fairs outside the Grand Circuit offer any more.
