 NOW MAKE APPEARANCE

Prohibition Director Stremlau has been advised by the headquarters at Wash ington that fraudulent physicians pre- scrptions for the purchase of liquor are being circulated throughout the east, and he was instructed to warn drug gists in the Connecticut district to watch for them So far none of the fraudu- lent prescriptions have been located in the state, that he has heard of, MT. Stremlau said, but warning will be given the druggists in the state, numbering about 200, who are licensed to fill such prescriptions.
 In his warning MT. Stremlau instructs the druggists to compare all prescrip- tion blanks they receive with the sam pie blanks furnished them for that pur- pose, and if they are not satisfied that the prescription is genuine, to notify the directors office. They are warned particularly to scrutinize carefully all prescriptions signed with. the name of doctor they do not know. According to MT Sireinlau the druggists should be able to tell the fraudulent prescrip- tions from the genuine, if they examine them closely

ALLEGES REASONS IN
 JITNEY CASE APPEAL

Assigning twenty-five reasons, w. A. Perritt and Christopher Glenney Of Manchester, whose application for a cer- tificate to operate three jitneys from South Manchester to Hartford and re- turn was denied by the public utilities commission, have appealed to the super for court, for 8 re-examination of the propriety and expediency of the decree and to grant such relief to the appel lant as may be just and equitable in the premises"
 The appellants are a party to the foregoing action and the Connecticut company and the city of Hartford are the only adverse parties" says the com plaint.
 The argument is advanced that the commission erred in refusing to give ! certificate of public convenience and necessity, despite favorable evidence at a hearing in May, and the complaint re- cites further. that the appellants have not applied for and do not desire cer- tifcate of limited service, that the com mission erred in deciding that routes ir city streets, whether for urban or asu- burban traffic. should conform as far as racticable to. the routes prescribed bg the common council or city ordinance for public service cars.
