Weekly ETorbidity Report Shows 14 Gases of
 Diphtheria Here,

The State Department of Health has been asked whether c local health of Eicer has authority to exclude unvaC cinated children from school. Sec ton 2394 of the General Statutes of Connecticut provides that a town health officer shall have and exercise all the powers necessary and proper for preserving the public health and preventing the spread of disease" Vaccination against smallpox is uni versally recognized as necessary precaution to prevent the spread of 8 loathsome and dangerous conta- giouS disease and the authority con- ferred by the statute quoted is suttt- Cient to sustain a local health officer who orders the exclusion from school of unvaccinated children. Section SSS of the General Statutes gives boards of school visitors, town school com mittees and board of education the specific authority to require every child to be vaccinated before being permitted to attend 9 public school under their jurisdiction.
 The weekly morbidity report is as follows:
 Diphtheria-Bethel 1; Bridgeport 14; Danbury (town) 2; Danbury (city) 1; Newtown, 1; Shelton, |; Stamford (city), 2; Stratford, 2; Trumbuu 1.

= THE DANGER POINT
=. FOR BATTERIES


One thing that good many auto
mobile owners can't understand
about batteries is the way they hang
on and keep giving service right up
to the minute when they refuse to
work at all
"These folks reason" says p. H.
Mcneil. local Eveready Service Sta
ton dealer. THAT the light ought to
get a little weaker and the car start
a little slower until the battery grad
ually wears out.
Sometimes a battery acts that
way, but another one may keep right
on working until it is actually ready
to fall to pieces. When the cells are
opened up for inspection, the active
material is in some cases so broken
up that it will not hold together This
may be due either to old age or abuse.
OF course we never open up a bat
terry without the owners consent,
but battery in this condition could
not last great while and might go
out of service at any time on the
road.
Most car owners are anxious to
know the truth about their batteries
and prefer to have a brand new bat
terry when they know their old one is
approaching the deadline."

GERMANY CLAIMING
RIGHT TO EXISTENCE

The reply maintains that the treaty
shows Germany as a nation which is
simply to be destroyed and adds:
This is a complete reputation Of

10 existence and violates the right OF
self determination"
The statement then details long Oh
jections to the proposed treatment Oh
the Saar region, Eupen, MaImedy,

frontiers and argues that the worst
manifestation Of the disregard Of the
right Of self determination is the
separation Of Danzfg from the Ger

this right, as cited in the statement,
include the refusal to allow the mil.
lions OF Germans in German-Austria
tc unite with Germany, while other
millions Of Germans are forced to re-.

The counter proposal says that the
