OF SAVINGS STAMPS

WASHINGTON. u. g., Mar. -
Uncle Sam sold $t34. .23O.697S4 worth
of Thrift Stamps, War Saving Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
during 1919. according to n report of
the Savings Division of the Treasury
Department. Probably twice as much
was lost by less cautious investors in

This investment of $134,000.0OO,
particularly by persons of small means
throughout the United states, was
made in the face of wave of high
prices and extravagance, the like of
which we have not seen since civil
War days. Economists and financial
experts consider the figures of the
sale of these humble government Sc
curities as n hopeful sign indicative
that the country is slowly but surely
adopting the only means out of our
present Industrial and financial diff

is WARNED
BY WALSH
Won't Be a Stalking Horse
and Proposes to Get the
. Nomination.

James F. Walsh of Greenwich told
j. Henry Roraback in Hartford yes
terday that he refused to be a stalking
horse for the upstate leaders any
longer, and that if he was not given
the support from the Republican ma
chine that he had been informed that
he could expect, he would carry the
fight into the convention and would
show the delegates the way in which
he had been used by the leaders and
would fight for the nomination to the
finish in such a way that. it would
have an effect on the election. accord
ing to information received by a
Times man today.z---.zss-=-----
It is said that Roraback and his as
sociated are worried by the election
outlook as the session between Walsh
and Roraback followed closely on a
heated interview between Attorney
General Frank Healy and Roraback
in which Healy took the Walsh view
of the matter and served notice that
he was with Walsh in his attitude
toward the violation of the promises
which it is said were made to Walsh
when it was decided to use his name
to break up the King machine in
Fairfield county.

1913 CALLS IN
CARE OF CHILDREN

The weekly report of the Child
Hygiene Division of the Board of
Health issued today shows that there
were 32S calls made by the school
nurses in the welfare of infants dur
ing the past week. OF that number
there were 1874 new babies visited,
one fatality recorded, 40 families had
moved to new homes during the
week and could not be located and
three comfort stations were visited by
the nurses. Five of the staff of the
fifteen nurses, were on vacation leave
during the week but the mark of
32S calls made was in keeping with
the average number of visits.
With the opening of the schools on
next Tuesday the nurses who have
been making visits to the homes of
infants will be transferred back to
work among the children in the
schools and the Visiting Nurses Asso-
citation will take complete charge of
the home visits

Fire Of unknown origin was dis
covered shortly after four o'clock
this morning on the second floor of
the Poll. building, 1890 Main street,
and for short time threatened the
entire block. Efficient work on the
part of local f1remen served to check
the blaze, however, and damage was
confined to the mems furnishings de-
partment of the Peoples store which
occupies the second story Of the
building.
According to information secured
by Chief Johnson, of the Fire depart
ment, a gang of men worked in the
Poll building until a late hour last
night, carting in lumber and cfnders
ing a bowling alley on the third floor.
Howard Riche1, proprietor of a
lunchroom in Congress street, hap
pened to be on the scene at the time
and thought that he smeIled some
thing burning. He went away, but
returned in about 20 minutes and saw
flames shooting from the second
story window.
An alarm was turned in, and fire.
men arrived on the scene Immediate
ly. Two men who were trapped by
smoke on the second floor were car
ried down ladders from windows in
the front of the building, by. f1remen
from Truck Company No. 2. The
fire itself, which seems to have start
ed in the hallway or in the room
occupied by the Peoples store, was
quickly extinguished, but not before
it had damaged a considerable num-
Der of suits which were hanging in
racks along the wall. Firemen spread
coverings over the articles in the
ladies' department on the first floor,
and thereby averted considerable
damage. The third floor was slightly
burned in one spot, but damage here
was trif1ing.
A restaurant and fruit store occupy
ing the first floor received little
water, but business was not halted
by either concern.
Chief johnson started investi-
cation of the origin of the blaze this
morning. The manager of the cloth
ing store has reported that the hall
way was clear, but there are some
facts concerning the origin of the
flames which have yet to be cleared
up. The entire damage caused by
the flames has not been definitely
estimated as yet but it will probably
amount to a number of thousands of
dollars.
