NEW HAVEN ROAD SHOWS
 IMPROVEMENT IN REVENUE

Half a hundred or more railroads have published operating results for AprilI and for the most part they show some improvement, although there were three New England lines which as a whole ran behind their April, 1920 showing, in the matter of gross earnings
 The New Haven road however, lined up with the larger systems of the coun- try in reporting an April gross much greater than last year. The Bangor & Arcostook the Boston & Maine, and the Rutland were the New England lines which fell bcL.ind
 This statement led to the publication of story in the stock market that the New Haven road was making a most remarkably encoura ging showing with it's gross revenue for the entire year In fact it was said that the road S gross freight earnings for the past year had shown a profit of three per cent. or more.
 This fact could not be established at the general office of the road On the other hand, numerous operating officers of the system gave it no credit, after viewing the returns from the falling off of freight traffic during the early months of the year.
 They admitted. however, that the freight business was picking up, and that the passenger business was much better as it always is, at this time of the year They said that investigation into coun- try-wide conditions, showed improve ment during the months of April and May. New Haven's gross increase for April was $102.21S, as compared with a deficit of S927 16S for the same period last year.

FREE USE OF TOLL BRIDGES FOR PEDESTRIANS

Pedestrians will be accorded free use of the Thames river and other state owned trunk line bridges after Septem- Der, 1922, while those having frequent use of them for vehicular traffic will be allowed liberal discounts, according to a compromise bill approved by the leg islature. For those using the bridges frequently for vehicular traffic, discounts of 25 per cent for 20 tickets and 5O per cenT. for 50 tickets, from the rates fixed by the board of control for single pass age, will be made available Discounts will be by means of issuance of coupon books somewhat similar to railroad mileage books. Legislative action regu- latng bridge tolls followed a report of a committee of conference, after the sen- ate had voted for abolishment of the toll system and the bill had been defeated by the house.
 Senator M. w. Potter of Deep River, introducing the compromise bill in the senate, pointed out that the estimated loss to the state on account of allowing free passage to pedestrians was about | S7,500, and that the entire loss, includ- ing that caused by the increased dis count for larger coupon books than now | in use, would probably not exceed S15,- i GOO a year. This would leave the state about $120,000 a year average revenue
 from the toll bridges. There was no de
 bate in the senate or house, and the
 latter promptly concurred with the sen.
 ate.

PARTLY CLOUDY TODAY
 AND TOMORROW

After a most earnest plea from William Hung, son of former governor of the province of Chang Tung, China, for sup port of the relief work in famishing China the Rotary club at it's monday luncheon at the Wauregan on Wednesday endorsed the fund, for which a whirlwind campaign is to be put on in this city n the near future.
 Mir. Hung, who is l graduate of an American college, spoke earnestly on the conditions in China and expressed the gratitude of his nation to America fir the aid which they have recelye1 from Ameri cans in this great humanitarian work. This fund not only meals relief, hut it means a great deal more. It means the establishing of sound commercial busi- ness basis between the two countries. China in the past few years has been de- veloping her textile and cotton industry and within the past year has purchased from America over $22,0O0,00o worth of textile machinery. China wants to buy 1 from America, for China knows that when , they deal with America they will have a ] square deal.
 China is not in sympathy with the inn l perialism of Japan or the bolshevism of
 Russia any more than the United States
 is The republic of China with 450 mil | lion people and the United States witt | l1O million should cooperate to make the { Pacific free from the menace of imperial.

MUCH IMPROVEMENT IN
 HEALTH IN THIS STATE

With the exception of scarlet fever and diphtheria, the weekly morbidity re- port issued by the state department, of health shows general falling off in the prevalenc of disease throughout this state The figures denoting the number of new cases this week and last are as fellows: Diptheria, 40, as against 31 last week; scarlet fever, 65, against 53 i, measles, 6s, as compared with 90 last week; typhoid, F, against 14 para-ty- phoid, 2, as against 14; whooping cough 50 as against 57.
 Whooping cough is reported to be epi- demic in Suffield, and twelve cases are reported in Hartford. This is more than from any other city in the state.
 The report contains the following statements from the bureau of prevent able diseases
 Last year 15 per cent. of the typhoid cases caught the disease from other cas- es with whom they had associated. All other members Of a family should be i protected against a case in the family by | typhoid vaccine Now is the time to i'm | munize people against typhoid, before they go on their vacations and other trips away from home. The price is within the reach of all, and sickness is pre- vented.
 "The sparkle and clearness of tn; brook in the woods is no indication tha dle water is safe for drinking. Many . brook is polluted by farms through whict it flows
 The poison ivy vine is found in man! places in Connecticut along roadsides, cl stone walls in fields, and, in fact, i adapts itself and fourishes in almost an! soil It is often overlooked, as it inter mingles with other shrubbery and the un suspecting individual handles it and i

 when the acrid juice of the plant is mos abundant.
 "The leaves of all forms of poison iv

 three leaflets. The foliage is a beautifu

This festival is one of the three pilgrim feasts which wore db- served in ancient Biblical times when tho inhabitants of ancient Palestine made pilgrimages to the holy temple at Jerusalem and there in numbers vast, sang praises unto the Lord for His mer- cies which endure continuously. In those days the ceremonial consisted in the of- fering of the first fruits and grains of the field and were brought as a thanks giving token for the new crop that was being harvested.
