Dep- uty Game Wardens Ross, Wilcox, OCon- nor and Ramistella are continuing a roundup of alleged violators of the lob ster fishing laws, with remarkable suc- cess. On Saturday the deputies arrest ed Joseph Victoria and Charles Davis, both of Stonington, on charges of pos sessing short Holsters. The former had AS short Holsters when arrested by the officers. Before Judge F. H. Hinckley in Stonington town court, on Saturday, he was fined $10 and costs, amounting in all to s3452. Davis family was found to be in very destitute circum- stances, and for this reason, the charges against him were continued for eight weeks
 Monday morning Andro Mixer and John M. Suza, both of Stonington, were presented before Judge Hinckley. the for mer charged with possessing short lob sters, and the latter ,cn a similar charge, win the additional charge of fishing without a permit. Mixer was fined BIO and costs. totaling S34.27 and Suza was also fined s10 and costs, amounting in all to S36.07.
 Several persona charged with fishing without permits were before the court but were released when they agreed tc file application for permits. The fine for violations of the fishing permit law is 1850, and in view of the fact that it was
 the first offense for all concerned. it was the opinion of the court that a fine oi
 this amount would be excessive. 1 On their way back to New London

 Latham, also a StoninEton resident who
 they claim had short Holsters. but threw
 them overheard, before his launch coult
 be boarded by the officers. No dispo

Several steps taken in the early part of the present year by the pubic health nursing department of the United Work CTS looking towards expansion of the work and increased efficiency have brought most encourag ging results in the first five months of trial. One of the efficiency improvements noted has been iG the greater number rf calls which the nurses have averaged, going from seven daily for each nurse in 1920 to slightly in excess of nine calls daily from Janu- ary 1 70 June 1 in the present year.
 The department in 1920 had the fol- lowing personnel, a superintendent, two staff nurses, and one special nurse for tuberculosis work only During the year 1920, 541e calls were made, ex- elusive of any calls made by the super
 ntendent. Of these, 107S were made by the special tuberculosis nurse, thus leav- ing 1882 calls made by the two staff nudses. There were IT Sundays when no calls were made, and or the remaining S5 Sundays calls occupied a half day. There were 52 c1ildren's clinics during the year. filling one-half day tach on which no calls were made With these and with further deductions for the an- nual vacation and the weekly half hoIi- day, the daily average was seven calls for each nurse.

FEW WORK CERTIFICATES
 ISSUED TO CHILDREN

There is not the demand for young people to work in shops, factories or stores that there has been in the past few years.

Buchanan, fell eff 55 per cent since June 1 to the present time as compared with the corresponding period of last year, when over 1000 certificates were issued.

 Twined with the wild-grape hloom; On this the huckleberries grow
 Beneath the pine trees gloom. On that road in the glinting helds

 Green ferns in wealth untold- By one road scoldinE bob-o-links
 And friendly robins go; But by the other sings the thrush

 The blackbirds red of wing; On this in some secluded nook
 The hermit thrushes sing. l. One road is fragrant with the scent Of fields Of new-mown hay. Beside the other. soft with moss.
