 Learned Professors In France

It is expected that Lieut.. John A. c. Warner, who has been with the American Expeditionary Force in France for nearly eighteen months, will arrive in this country the last week in June. He comes on special mission for the research department of the aviation service, in which he has been working, and will report to Washington immediately on his ar rival. After few days he will visit at his home in this city.
 Lieut.. Warner has completed spe- cial course under some of the most learned professors in France, study ing at university in Paris, and was one of fourteen chosen from the avi- ation service to take the course. He became readily conversant in the French language, and this stood him in good stead when he attended the lectures, which were all in French.
 His parents, Judge and Mrs. E. M. Warner, are justly pleased with let ter from one of the lieutenant's su- perior officers, in which some very kind words are written about the young man and his excellent work with the research department. The lieutenant's executive ability and strict and careful attention to the work in which he has been engaged are especially noted.

PUTNAM WINS
 THE OPENER
Takes First Game From Ash
 lands of Jewett City 6 to l
Heaviest Hitting Team Putnam Ever
 Carried

Putnam won it's first opening game last Sunday on the old fair grounds field and incidentally put the first crimp in the perfect record of the Ashlands of Jewett City. Manager McDermott produced the goods and without question staged the greatest team of heavy hitters that ever wore a Putnam uniform. When the game was over, Putnam was flying the big end of to score.
 Doyle pitched a pretty game and at no time was he carrying a nervous sweat, for he felt that he was master of the situation, as he in fact was. He showed up we'll and the fans are satisfied with his performance.
 While Putnam outbatted the visit ors, the Ashlands landed some good clouts, but unlike Putnam they were unable to bunch. In fact both teams hit hard, which always makes an in. teresting game to watch.
 In the first inning double by Wal lace and singles by Rice and Barnes gave Putnam tally
 In the third Wallace again doubled, Rice sent sacrifice fly to center and Bam's single scored Wallace.
 In the second and third innings Ashland had men on second and third, but could not score.
 In the seventh Chase doubled Oakes sacrificed, and Herbert dou- bled to center, scoring Chase. This was Ashland's only tally of the game Tn Putnam's half of the eighth Put nam laid on Reiger for feur hits which coupled with two sacrifice fife. and an error, netted four runs.
 Ashland started strong in the ninth Benjamin and Chase getting singles Cakes sacrificed, but pretty double play killed the rally
 Benjamin's catch of Kelly's hare liner in the seventh was a feature ol the game.

MEAT INVESTIGATION MAY
 BE FOLLOWED BY ARRESTS
Worcester Man Appointed To Make Thorough Survey of Conditions in Connecticut Towns

"Dr. Milton H. Perry, connected with the White, Pevey & Dexter Co.,, Worcester. and Worcester county agent for the United States depart ment of animal industry, has assign ed Charles F. Boyle, Worcester, to Webster, to investigate the conditions and violations of the interstate ship ping of meat from border towns in Connecticut to Webster.
 'Mr. Boyle explained the details of the law to the offenders and warn ed them of the seriousness of the of fense. No meat can be transmitted from Woodstock to Webster, by eith- CT dealer or farmer without filing exemption claims with the department of animal industry at Washington, and with the common carrier that transports the carcasses.
 "The situation at the present time is at q critical stage. The Webster Board of Health has the assistance of the Massachusetts State Board of Health, the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ami mals, and the United States depart ment of agriculture. Robert L. by son of the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was in Webster last week making a detailed investigation, while Dr. Geo. L. Drury of the State Boayd of Health made the initial investigation three weeks ago.
 ''The appearance in Webster of representative of the United States department of animal industry, was evidence enough to the Webster health officials, that determined action must be taken to revolutionize the sale of meat in Webster.'

That the investigation of the con diHons under which cattle are slaugh- tered and meat sent over into Massa- chusetts from the border towns of Connecticut, which was begun a little ever q week ago, as told in The Pa tsict, Is to be continued is apparent. That arrests may be made by the fed eral authorities if it is found that laws applying to interstate commerce have been violated is certain. The following from a Worcester paper under e Webster date line denotes that Massachusetts officials take the meat situation seriously and do not intend that the lax meat laws of Con- neet;cut shall profit dealers anything when they attempt to do business in the Bay State:
 "TAat there will be arrests by fed eral authorities in the windup of the casspaign against the flow of bad meat into Webster and Dudley from border towns in Connecticut, is the belief of members of Webster health board by the fact that agents from the United States, department of ami n.al industry visited various offend CTS. The owners were given explicit instructions on the details of the law, which forbids interstate transporta- tion of cattle without special permits.
 'sThe United States department of aainsi industry is connected with the United States department of agrieul- tuse, and from indications the depart Ment is determined to investigate co~datsons, which has resulted in such aa important degree that state and federsA departments of health and osi.eF organizations have taken up the efwsads.

The matter of cattle slaughtered in the town of Woodstock has been brought to the attention of the Con necticut state board of health and q report from Dr. Joseph Spslding, town health officer, puts quite diff ferent light on the situation from some of the reports that have emin9 ated from Massachusetts, where the officials are up in arms over the meat received from the border towns in Connecticut.
 The preliminary report of condi- tions under which the meat supply in Woodstock is slaughtered was made by Dr. Spalding Tuesday. The report was submitted to the state health de- partment and the following state ment has been given out by Dr. T. Eben Reeks of the department;
 'Dr. Spalding feels that the trouble is that Massachusetts butchers over the line do not want Connecticut meat coming into their state and are there fore making all the objections they can. He will, however, at my re- quest, find out the number of cattle and kind slaughtered each month at the slaughterhouses, the number of cattle condemned each month, also the fees charged for inspection"
 Dr. Reeks has stated that if the de- tailed report of Dr. Spalding in which he has already asked specific information is not satisfactory to him, he would either send another repre- sentative of the department to the seat of the trouble or look into the matter himself. Dr. Reeks had plan ned to go to Woodstock Tuesday, but upon receiving word from Dr. Spald- ing decided to await the submission of his report.
 A law resembling in many ways that which is in force in Massachu. setts requiring state inspection of meat before 1t can be sold in the mar kets was introduced at the last ses- sion of the legislature, but failed to pass. ssse law was examined by the state bokfd of health and was rec commended. Dr. Reeks said recently that legislation is the only means of taking the situation in hand, as near ly one thousand inspectors would have to be employed by the depart ment to safeguard the public health under the present law which IS in force. The proposed law was as fol lows;
 "An act concerning meat inspec- tion of meat food products:
 "Section 1-The commissioner on domestic animals, with the state com missioner of health. is directed to make rules and regulations governing the slaughtering of cattle, sheep' swine and goats; for the inspection and stamping of the careasses of sucn animals and of meat products derived in whole or in part therefrom and Tor the preparation, handling, storage, manufacture, transportation and sale of meat and meat products intended for human consumption. Such regu- lations when approved by the public health council shall be part of the sanitary code of the state and may be enforced by any officer, agent, or in- spector of the commissioner on do- mestic animals, the state department of health, local health officer or local meat inspector; provided, no rule or regulation shall be made as to require compulsory meat inspection except as provided in sections two and six of this act.

DESTITUTE FAMILY
 NEEDS ASSISTANCE
Mother III With Five Children to Care For.-A Tent
 Wanted.

One of the worst cases of destitu- tion and want unearthed in Putnam was brought to light this week when Miss Linden, the district nurse, dis covered a family where the mother is in the last stages of tuberculosis, where there are five children, and where the bare necessities are lacking The home was one of the most pitiful imaginable and immediate relief is needed If some person or organiza- tion will come forward there is a chance right here at home to play the good samaratin and relieve this horrible state of affairs and alleviate want, pain, mental and physical suf- fering.
 When discovered it was found that the family had hardly any bedclothes. The mother had no night clothes, and is only able to drag herself to the pi- azza, where she sits helpless all day. What Miss Linden needs most to rem edy conditions as far as possible is tent that can be pitched on the hill side where the woman may stay. <~
 If someone has tent that he Is willing to loan or to give, or if fund can be quickly accumulated with which tent may be purchased, this family may be given relief. Anything that one wishes to donate for this case may be left with Miss Katherine Byrne at the Peoples Store. Miss Linden will give the necessary care to the woman if the tent is furnished.
