MILLIONS LOSS BY
 DISEASE EACH YEAR
S2O,OOO,OOO in Connecticut Alone,
 Dr. ReekS Says

(By T. Eben Reeks, NJ. D., Director
 Bureau of Preventable Diseases.)
 Twenty million dollars 8 year is a conservative estimate of the economic loss to Connecticut through prevent able disease and death. Ten million dollars a year is a low estimate of our loss from contagious diseases alone. These figures represent an actual, tangible, provable loss to the state which is largely preventable; but they do not take into consideration inc higher loss-the sentim ental loss, which is imm easurable.
 Every healthy life has a definite value which may be expressed in dol lars and cents. But we do not like to think of human life in terms Of money, so very few of our citizens realize how great this economic loss is. If fire and other accidents caused property loss of compara ble amount, no expense or effort would be spared in taking preventive measures. Bat we are accustomed to disease and untimely death. Many of us still regard them as inevitable. The eN- penditure of money for the protection or the public health is still looked upon with suspicion and skepticism. Taxpayers are generally so busy watching the pennies which might roll out that they overlook sthe mil lions in health and wealth which might be kept in.
 Twenty thousand Connecticut peo- plc are afflicted with tuberculosis About 1,700 of our people die each year from this disease. The State Tuberculosis comm ission. although handica pped by ridiculously made quate support, is making notable progress in it's effort to combat the white pla que.
 During the year just passed about 230 children died in this state Of of the economic loss which these child deaths represent it would be possible to immunize every person in 1, Connecticut who is susceptible 10 / diphthCria- But the same law which authorizes the State Departm ent of Health to purchase and distribute preventive serums and vaccines pro- Vides that the distribution shall be Limited to people upon whom pay mcnt would be q financial hardship |

 The great war revealed the value of good health as nothing else ever did. The draft showed what a large percentage of us are unfit when the call comes. 1t was a shock to learn that 38 per cent. of the young men of the country were returned to the.r homes as physically unfit for service. but it emphasized the general need for much broader vision in dealing with matters related to public health.

Probably half of the men rejected in the draft would have been fit for service if they had received treatment in their school days for defects which adequate school inspection would have revealed.
 At the beginning of this new year it seems to me that the greatest need in public health work is the general education of the public. It is incon~ ceivable that the state should go on year after year piling up a huge eco- homie loss when so much can be done 0 prevent it.

NEW ASSOCATION IF MII0NS BEING FORMED

GREAT FALLS, Mont, Dec, e. Professional bootleggers who are de- claTed to have made fortunes trans porting liquor across the Canadian boundary are perturbsd by news from Washington D. C., that the federal 2r ,t:tion enforcement machinery of the national capital is turning its at- rention to the so-called "Montana pipe iine", S according to United States of- f:eeis here. :, ~~: .. ;.. '.''s
 With Grea. Falls as the mouth of the funnel, the "pipe line" has three .1ossings from Canada, it is said by those in touch with the workings st ..e legal traffic, which is dec:s :el tc os well organized and to include huna- reds. of homesteaders, :, rsilroad men and. automobile drivers One reputed sntrance is across the boundary at ::sweetgrass. This route follows the treat Northern Railway through Shel- 1y, Montana, to Great Falls. The Whiskey is said;to travel both by train concealed in coal and :. other heavy ;reight, and by automobile.
 The principle "syphon" for the pipe line is said to be at a point north af Havre, Montana. A rancher living Jn the Milk river, some miles below ihe border, Is said to have accumulat- ed fortune transferring whiskey across the river by home made aer- ial cable at g charge of 8 8 case. From Havre alternate means of trans- portation are afforded by railroad or highway to Great Falls.
 The third route, for the transport ing of liquor, across the line, is said so:,e .t Pertsl. iH Nqrth psless cQhs fiscaton of automobiles has failed to curtail the traffic. Fast motor cars, with sheet iron plates hung over them to defect bullets, now travel in bunch es of three, according to the prohibi- ion enforcement men. The front car is a pathfinder and "trouble hunter". It carries nothing but party of tour .sts. The middle car is. the carrier and is usually loaded with as many cases of whiskey. as it can carry. The third ear is Q lookout, to prevent enforce nent officers in faster cars from com ng up from behind.
 So great has the traffic become, 1t is said, and so large the quantity of liquor been, that many men for moonshining have com plained that the Canadian bottled goods can be obtained cheaper than shey can manufacture and sell their Illicit liquor. <,

NOME, Dec, 29- Relics of m ear ly Arctic expedition possibly the fa' tai British venture of Sir John Frank lin of 1S45 were found by Captain Joe Bernard, Nome trader and explor- CT during a recent four-yesr trip to strange lands fur to the portA. Der. nard returned to Nome not long aso on his schooner the Teddy Bear.
 Rare curios of many kinds, as well as the expedition relics were hrousht back to Nome by eBrnard. The eol- lection is believed the most extensive of its kind ever coming out of the Arc tic regions and is thought to be of considerable value.
 On the schooner was what Bernard described as 8 "human curio. Apukt- wana, . male member of the strange tribe of 'sblond Eskimo" discovered several years ago on the shores of Coronation Gulf by Vilhjalmur Stefan sson, Canadian explorer Bernard said hs intended to take Auktwana to the outside world so people could eco what the queer "Blond Eslkimos" are like.
 eBrnard attempted to press through the Northwest Passage and reaeh the Atlantic Ocean but was halted by d 7erse ice conditions. When As turned back from his voyase eaatwsrA he had progressed oyer two thisda of the
 way along the narrow body q ies- blockrd water lying along ths norhern Ioasa of North America hetuese tAs Atlantic aud ths Pacific.
 Naehnf Bersasds tins while away was spent in the region hetFsa Aas- aide Peninsula and the sentAs :orner of Victoria Land. He left Nome ,n trading expedition in the summer of 1916 and, after wintering on the
 way, arrived the following summer at Taylor Island, located in Victoria Strait, off Victoria Land
 He did not intend to stop at Tsy- Tor island but was compelled to to make it his headquarters when his boat became frozen in and was not cleared of the ice for two years When he finally cleared the boat in 1919 le proceeded on his way but got only 70 the Kagrok River on Coronation Gulf when he was frozen in again. During the winter of 1s1s-20 he visit ed King William Land and adjacent sections.
 Last summer eBnard decided to return to the outside world and turned about and headed for Herschel Island. Cape Barrow and Nome. Weather con ditions were good and he. made the run before the ice closed in for the winter.

 BUENos AIRES, Dec.,t3sl A plague of locustss Kks~ thik. ~.ieh in ancient Egypt covered the face of the sarth", this year descended upon tho province of Santa Fe. Similar often sivss ifs almost annnal events in one part or another of AfssnAnG. ''''
 < The locasts come .sss 5 siSll ltply;s and Mthout warning. Where for year CT several years perhaps not one of the insects has been seen, . variable cloud of them will one day appear and set ;le on the ground. These usually come from the northwest, from the vast d. most uninhabited tracts in Bolivia, 1t 4s supposed They cover the earth like a'moving carpet, raddaiiy moving on. ~ ;Atfirst little damage is done. aside from the inconvenience of having lit. srally millions of the insects covering houses. But as they progress
 everything and even penetrating tho houses. But as they progress thwush the country they ore holes into the earth, preferably in hard spots such as roadways, into which they deposit their eggs. Within . short .:tinae tho larva are matched and come forth. At first these can not fly, and it is at this stage that they devour eveiy living plant within their path, with the 'ex- ception of a few species such as w;l- low trees. = ''
 ! A little latet the insects develop their wings and. leaving tka eouitay through which they hsie pazied.a ad.s.
 
 ert they disappear almost e suddenly IS they came. Where they % to has never been discovered.
 Argentina has had recourse to many methods of fighting the locusts. The nation maintains organized locust lighting squads, something like those formed to fight forest fires, and these are sent every year to the section, in- saded. In addition, every ranehsr is held responsible for fighting the pest in his own locality.
 One of the methods employed is to dig trenches in which the insects arc siliected afteward being hurnAd. But no matter how many millions of them are made away with in any such manner, it is impossible to block the pest owing to the great extent of Ar zentina, much of which is still very sparsely settled.

CELEBRATE VICTORY :.

N4SASAA FIUME, Dec, 29- The anniversary of the Italian Victory on the -"e was celebrated here by a great demon stration, in which the whole population of Plume, both military and civilian participated. It began at the Monu- ment of Anchor" marble base, like an altar, supporting the anchor which belonged to the fi t i,al'en warship t, put into the por. of Plume after the war. All Plume manifestations cent CT there, as in ancient Ron they cent e,-d at the capit', and in modern Rome at the altar on the monument to NiLtor Emmanuel.
 Every man, woman :nd child m Fmme seemed tn be gathered round ,h.. monument, which r;ss soon com uletely covered ,r flowers, while of- f'cers, soldiers, sailors, climbed up all over it, waving their caps and singing. There are any number of these songs written for the volunteers of d'Annun- zio's expedition, such as: "Noi siamo i disertori, ma non di Caporetto," ("We I are the deserters, but not the ones Of Caporetto," referring to Nitti's speech in the Chamber when the news of the expidition to Plume reached Rome, on which occasion he branded all d'An- nunzio's men as deserters.) Hundreds of flags were grouped artstically round the monument and about them gathered in a picturesque spectacle the different battalions of the orditi, wearing their red. blue and black fe1- zes, the officers with caps tilted at 8 lakish angle, reminiscent in their ap- pearance of the ..mnsqueteers" of the times of "D'Atagnan."
 After several persons had spoken amid constantly growing enthusiasm, procession was formed, which, with flags and banners at the head, defiled through the main thoroughfares of the city. Arriving at bridge obstructed by thick barbed wire entanglements, the arditi delivered sham attack up on it anal on the run, the procession entered Susak, the Slav suburb ot Fiume which lies at the other side of the bridge and rushed through its streets, shouting and singing waving their flags, caps and weapons, while the Slav population looked on with placid and unmoved stare.
 d'Annunzio's men are all young and self-confident, strong and fit, enthus- iassic and patriotic, devoted to their leaders, proud to fight and, if need be to die for their cause. The majority are seasoned war-veterans, having fought throughout the whole of the world war and among their leaders are some of the most brilliant generals and officers of the Italian army.
