Fresh Air Fund Is Being Ma terially Swelled By
 Donations

Would many people in the city of New youngster the sum of five dollars ir order that he might go out into the country for one week and build up his health to such a point that his growing years would be materially aided, possibly built up to such an extent that he was guaranteed against a lifetime of semi invalidism? We doubt it! The queS- tion arises as to how many are able and willing to contribute any amount what ever to add to the total sum required to run the Fresh Anr camp in Burlington this summer.
 If we could but show you the young sters before and after they had had the two weeks in the country we know that the response to the appeal for funds would be so generous that the caTn- paign could be closed very early. Thin, puny, washed out specimens of imma- ture humanity are transported to the site which the city has allotted for the use of the campers by public spirited citizens. There, under able direction, they are encouraged to exercise and play in the outdoor world, they sleep in quarters where they may have protec- tion and a maximum amount of fresh air, they are fed regularly and we'll of the products from the farms about them. Coming home they are regular fellows" brown and hale and with spirit in eyes which had lacked lustre before
 The Herald is endeavoring to assist the committee in charge of the camp to raise the necessary amount to give the maximum number of youngsters a good time and healthy one. Any contribu- tions at all are appreciated by the camp authorities and the Herald Fresh Air Editor.''

INDIAN FANATICS
 BURN WOMAN ALIVE
British Troops in India Who Attempt Rescue Are Attacked
 by Natives.

slnla. India, June 13.-A govern ment report on the serious riot which took place recently in the village of Sirohi. in the Rajputana agency. states it was caused by the offering of human sacrifice. During the disorder seven persons were killed and ten were wounded.
 The village which is the home of many members of the ancient sect of charays, became greatly excited over the refusal of the charays to pay the usual revenue contributions.
 Troops were sent to enforce collec- ton. the report says. and found tho charays had followed traditional methods of bringing the vengeance of heaven upon the state by burning an old woman alive. She had been placed upon a pyre, which was lighted by her nearest relatives. When the troops at tempted to rescue the victim the vil- lagcrs opposed them with knives and swords. wounding several soldiers. The soldiers thereupon fired a volley into the crowd but the attempt at rescue came too late.

HERALD COUPON IS
 TICKET TO THEATER
Presented, With Price of One Admis- sion, Will Admit Two Persons
 to Show. ..

An innovation in local theatrical
 business, sort of mutual co-opera-
 ton plan during the. depression that
 affects all industry and business, be-
 gins at Fox's theater tonight when
 the management will admit, two per sons for the price of one admission, plus the special coupon that can be easily clipped from Page of this issue. A program of high class vaudeville and the best motion pie lures will be shown. ..r y
 The management of the theater eX- plains that there is no catch to this proposition and. it is nothing other than what it seemsJtwo tickets for the price of one, plus The Herald coupon.
 Admittedly, money is not as free for entertainment as it has been. Fox's theater is a big house and since it was opened in New Britain it has catered to all the people and has re- ceived their support. Now comes the co-operation:
 theater with the largest seat ing capacity in the city cannot hope, during a business slump, to fill every seat at every performance. People who have patronized it freely in the past are having to economiZe on their  entertainments. There are seats enough for all so the public, that has patronized the house so well in the past, is to be met half way as Q sort of return for past faVors. TWO can come for the price of one, providing The Herald coupon is presented at the box office. It costa the theater no more and it makes it possible for pa irons who would like to see the show but cannot afford it, to enjoy them selves.
 House Manager Burke will put this new rule into effect this evening. lrV- ing Mcdonald, manager here several years ago and now manager of the Fox theater in Springfield, is now as sociated in the management of the local playhouse and will dictate its policies, both as to vaudeville and DIG tures MT Mcdonald, it will be re- membered, left the local theater at the outbreak of the war to enlist in the navy.
