GOVERNMENT AID
 FOR DEPENDENTS
Three Kinds Explained by An- nouncement From Washington

Hartford. Aug. 15-The three forms of government aid for soldiers and thelr dependents, as revised, are ex- plalned in a government announce ment received by Connecticut State council Of Defense today. They in clude allotments and allowances. com pensation for death or disability, and united States government insurance.
 According to the revised explana tions, every married enlisted man in the active military and naval service is under a duty to allot S15 a month from his pay to 1ls wife and children. The government adds to these com pulsory allotmentS additional allow ances for dependents The monthly government allowances for allowances for families range from $5 for motherless child, and s15 for a wife without children, up to a maximum of $50. Voluntary allowance allotments from the soldiers or sailors pay may be made for parents, grandparents, brothers. sisters or grandchildren who are dependent on him for support and the government will add monthly family allowances up to $50 a month.
 Government compensation in case
 
 substitute for @ pension. It applies to officers and enlisted men alike. In case of death, compensation is paid to the widow until remarriage, children until they are eighteen or marry, and dependent father and m mother, but to no other relatives. The amounts range from $20 to $75 a. month. In case of total disability, the cOmpen- sation is from $50 to $95 month ac- cording to the size of the disabled mans family. Partial disa bility is compensated according to the reduc- ton of the earning capacity of the man and the size of his family. Com pensation should be carefully distin guished from government insurance.
 Government insurance is offered to soldiers CT sailors in active service of all ranks without medical eXamina- tion other than the favora ble report of the army or navy surgeon. The terms are low, the premium rate de- pending on the mans age. averaging between $6 and S7 monthly for the full amount of s10,0O0 Application for government insurance must be made with 120 days after the man enters the service. The insurance may be continued after leaving the service without 1ufJner 0eOlCdt eEanl1ndIlOI. It assures the widow, child, parent, brother. or sister of monthly install ments of $57.50 each for twenty years on S10,00O of insurance The same amount will be paid to the veteran during his lifetime in case of total disability.
 In addition to offering these provi- sions for dependents, the Bureau of War Risk Insurance will prevent the lapse of specified life insurance con tracts other than the government premiums which must be paid regu- 1arly. This is only done on applica ton. If the government guarantees to the insurance company or organ ization the payment of premiums, the policy will remain In force, and the man in service will have one year aft CT the war in which to pay default ed premiums before the membership or policy lapses.

WE'RE THEY IN SALOON
 AFTER, 11.3O R

Middletown, Aug. 14.--The ques- ton of whether the putting ahead of the clock one hour in the daylight saving plan had any effect on hours fixed by state statute during which d saloon may do business was raised in the city court here today. Judge Gus taf Carlson appearing as counsel for four men arrested shortly after mid night on 8 Sunday morning as ire quenters in a police raid on a tavern here, argued that although according to the clock the men were arrested at 12:15 q. na., they were arrested by ac- tual time at 11:15 p. m, and as the ] statutes do not require the closing of the saloons before 11:3O D. m. they were not st the time of their arrest violating the law. The court asked counsel to file briefs in the case.

BABY WEEK STATISTICS
3,iO5 Boys and 2,952 Girls Weighed and Measured and S93 Require Special Treatment.

Statistics in connection with the re- cent Child's Welfare campaign con- ducted in this city, under the wo- mans committee, State Council of Defense, have been compiled by Miss Mary Campbell, chairman of the com mittee, resulting as follows:
 Total registration of babies un-

 It will be noticed that the total fig ures has increased 49 since the last figures were published last week. This is due to the fact that doctors con- ductinc private examinations were late in sending In their cards.
 One feature of the enrolment which is quite noticeable is the in crease in baby population during the past two years. Those born five years ago number only a little more than 1000, while the babies born during the past two years show an increase in each year of about 300. It is not known just what is the reason for this, whether it is due to a great baby mortality or whether the in creased baby population is due to the fact that more families have moved within the limits of New Britain. It Is probable that the latter explanation is responsible for it.

Tn answer to the mum berlesS ln- ,@ @concernins the policy of New Fri tain's popular playhouse for the com tns season Manager Mcdonald yester- day settled all uncertainty by stating to representatives of the Herald that high class vaudeville with big special features would make up the enter |, tainment at the Fox theater here be- ginning Monday, September ?. Rep resentative New Britain people have appealed to the local manager of Fox's and letters have been written to the William Fox offices in New York requesting a calibre of enter tainment such as is seen in the big theaters of the country and this MT. IF OK has promised to give. With an orchestra that promises to surpass any heard in many months installed as d regular part of the entertainment in addition to the big organ it is as- sured that proper accompaniment will be given the big vaudeville acts and specia! feature productions which will be seen.

Furnishings selected from New York vaudeville supply houses have been ordered special lighting effects secur- ed and every detail to make Fox's 2 par with the foremost theaters of the country purchased. With the in- terior of the theater brilliantly light ed, courteous employees to look after the wants of every individual patron and a program of vaudeville and big massive pictures selected, every indi- cation will he crowds and more crowds for Fox's starting in Septem- ber.

It will be re- called that Won Der Goltz was con fined in the tower of London for sev- eral months and only released to be brought to this country that he might be questioned by the United States Secret Service. Non Der Goltz was the right hand man of Won Bern Etorff and turned states evidence when secreted with officials in Wash lngton who convinced him of the das- tardly machine he was a part of. Once free he furnished absolute and unquestionable facts that are as bounding and go to make up what is the most exciting picture the screen has ever shown. More concerning, ~ The Prussian Cur will be related In the columns of the Herald before the showing of this tremendous sen- sation for the opening three days of the combined vaudeville and motion picture policy which will be anxiousy awaited al Foxs.

FLU SERUM IN

1nnoculations May be Had From
Any Physician in

A large consignment or anti-flu

clinic at Rochester. Mimi, by DR.. F
B. Strauss. city health officer, today
This serum has been placed in the
hands of local physicians, who are
prepared to Immediately innoculate
Bismarck citizens with this protective
virus.
The anti-flu serum is said to have
been very efficacious in preventing
Spanish influenza or in eliminating
the danger from influenza once the
malady has been contracted. Dr.
Strauss, as city health officer rec
ommends the innoculation of every
Bismarck citizen as means OF pre-
venting a recurrence Of the recent
plague.
Conditions in Bismarck are very
good. But one death from Spanish in.
fluenza has been reported during the
last 4S hours, and the number Of new
cases is very light. There has been
no reaction here such as has been
reported in the eastern part OF the
state. In Fargo business has been
resumed and normal conditions re-
stored 1t is not probable that in Bis
marck, however, the schools and
theatres will be permitted to open for
another week. This is merely a pre-
cautionary measure, not necessitated
by present conditions. but adopted to
make certain that there will be no
comeback OF this dread epidemic.
