 | The alarm for the fire came in at about a. r1.. and it was stated Sun 1 day that the blaze was first noted by 1 John Kempf, an operator in the yard signal tower. The alarm. it was said, was pulled in by William Murray, who was assisting with work at the tower. The fire had gained good headway by the time the fire department got to
 work on it. but the men of the de- partment worked splendidly. and they had the good luck to have fine water pressure to back them up in their ef- forts. At one time, it was said. eight
 streams were being played on the fire, the origin of which is unknown. The fire was in a quarter of the
 city where it was a menace to scores
 Of thousands worth of the city's most
 valuable and essential property but
 it was held in check and very little
 damage resulted to adjoining proper ty.
 The inmates of the rooming house
 escaped to safety at the outbreak Of
 the fire. which was the third for which
 an alarm has been rung in at about the same hour in the morning within
 the last few days.

BABIES ON THE SCALES.
About Half a Hundred AIfAAdy Exam ined; Measured and Weighed.

The child welfare campaign for the and weighing of Putnam babies being conducted in this city by visiting nurse under the direction Of the Parent Teachers association Is entering it's second week. Up to and including last Friday, about fifty ha- bies had been brought to the Israel Putnam school for examination. This is not so large number as had been expected, but already results are be- ing achieved that insure the success Of the campaign. As each baby is brought to the schoolhouse it is weigh ed, body measurements are taken, fna6 ears, eyes and throat are examined. Mrs. Anson B. Handy. president of the association, said Saturday afternoon that several defective babies have al- ready been found, and a few perfect ones. When a defective child is dis covered by the nurse, Miss Linden, she preseribes corrective treatment, and in follow-up campaign sees that that treatment is properly carried out.
 The examinations will continue each day except Saturday until the first of August, at which time the follow -up
 work will be begun. Mrs. Handy in speaking of the movement stated tha; parents are not realizing that it is a
 national campaign and not purely To- cal. The same thing that is being dont | in Putnam is being done all over the country and all is under government supervision, It is believed that by this 1 campaign the lives of thousands oi children will be saved. and that ths l death rate of children under year! | or age will be materially decreased.

WILLIMANTIC

They were going to Baltic, but while rounding this corner. tire blew out, and the car turned turtle and threw the passengers out. It did not leave
 the road. They were brought to the
 hospital by passing auteists and were discharged later. in the day, returning
 to Rockville in. a hired car.
 This is the same turn which has dg-
 ured in several accidents recently. Coming towards Willimantic; the road is smooth and straight, and slightly dpwn hill, so the driver is inclined to speed. The outside of the road is not banked for speeding, so if the driver has to pass car while making the corner, he will smash into the fence if going fast. MT. Martley said that l speeding was not the cause of their accident, as they were going only about b miles au hour, and had they
 been going fast. would probably have been seriously injured.
