LITCHFIELD COUNTY HIGHEST.
 IN JUNE SICKNESS PERCENTAG

During June, 194S cases of communi- cable diseases were reported to the state department of health by health of- fcers in Connecticut
 New Haven led with 592 cases, Fair field county was second with 479 cases and Hartford county with 415 cases was third. New London county had 146 cases and Windham county 50. Holland and MiddleseX counties reported but Is and 31 cases of communicable diseases re- spectively, an exceptionally low number of cases, suggesting that parents do not call physicians in eases of communicable disease to the extent that it is done in the urban districts, and cases fail to be reported
 In proportion to the poulation, the greatest incidence of diseases was in Litchdeld county where the outbreak of measles contributed largely toward dhe rate of 272 cases of diseases per 100, ,000 population for the month.- Fairfield county with rate of IA was second. while New Haven County with 139 and New London county wits 137 cases per 100, 900 were practically tied for third place. In the other counties the rates were Hartford 11s; Windham 112 Mid dlesex 66; Holland 55.
 There were 39 cases of typhoid during June. 20 cases of which were reported from Hartford county and g from New Haven county.

SAVES MYSTIC WOMAN FROM
 WATER AT GROTON LONG POINT

Miss Helen George of Mystic was saved from drowning Thursday after noon at Groton Long Point by Miss Harriet Gray, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. w. H. Gray of Mystic.
 Miss Gray who is an artist, was en- gagged in sketching on the beacn and was wearing her bathing sui1 when she heard Miss Georges cry for help and at once rushed into the water to ihe rescue. When Miss Gray recahed the place where Miss George was strug- gling the latter seized her and both went down several times. Realizing that there was danger of both drown ing her rescuer was obliged to strike the other woman a blow that broke her hold and enabled the securing of a position where she could be held up without danger.
 The struggles of the women had car ried them some distance and 1t was with great difficulty that Miss Gray succeeded in getting her burden tc shore. It happened that at the tune there was no one on the beach whc could render any assistance.

cidence after a rather severe winter and spring for this dease This disease is diminishing rapidly except in New Haven county, where 100 cases were during the month.
 In the case of pulmonary tuberculosis, the May total of 131 cases was unusually low, and the 1S4 cases reported in June Is practically the normal incidence of the disease. The reporting of tubercu- losis is improving each month and indi- cates that people are taking advantage of the knowledge we now have that an early visit to physician with the early diagnosis of pulmonary tuberculosis means cure in most cases. Pulmonary tuberculosis was reported from all coun- ties in the state, but the reporting of cases is apparently better and more com plete from those Vnties where the state sanatoria are NccalaA.
 The unusual amouAE of scarlet fever that has prevailed in Connecticut the past two years is at last decreasing in such a way as to suggest that this dis ease will be less prevalent in the coming winter than in '19 and 1920. The June cases were confined largely to Hartford Fairfield and New Haven counties, 146 acses of the 179 for the month being reported from these counties.
 Diphtheria was reported from all sec tions of the state except in Windham county. This disease in May was report ed from the larger population centers but the June distribution of the cases covered many of the smaller towns IT the state. An increase in this disease 1T June is unusual and should be taken al
 warning to call physicians early in al cases of sore throat, in order that tht nose and throat may be swabbed and . search made by the bacterioIogist in thu state laboratory for the germs of diph
 theria. This procedure definitely locatei

READY TO START TROLLEY
 RAIL LAYING IN GRoroN

In communication received by Se- lectman Clark B, Whaley of Groton, re- ceiver of the Shore Line Electric Rail- way Co.,, it was learned that State High way Commissioner Charles H. Bennett has been advised, through Attorney Ed ward M. Day, that the railway conl- pany will be prepared to go ahead with the work of laying the track for the Groton and Stoninston Traction Go. ex- tension from the ferry in Groton to Crys- tai avenue in New London whenever the highway department is
 The communication says: I've have just had a long discussion as to the way in which we would have to take care of the construction from Groton to New London, and we are a little embarrassed by the situation on from the city of New London that they are going ahead with the work on the Crystal avenue bridge. and it un- doubtedly will be finished this fall, but failure to finish it would, of course. leave us in a position where we could not use the rest of our trackage from the ferry across the river At the same time, I have got to take steps to cooperate with Commissioner Bennett in the construction of the concrete on Thames street, and I have, through my attorney, MT. Day, advised him that We will be prepared to 20 ahead with | this work whenever he is, and I un- | derstand that he is to advertise for bids to be opened on the second of August"
 In order to conform with the only al- formative the trackage from the ferry to Groton to the bridge must be laid either at the same time before the l 27foot co Ncrete highway is laid 1 Then. 1t Is expected there will be a | delay of some time in the work be- cause of the improving of the building of new bridge at Crystal avenue 1 over winthrop cove.
 The officials of the town of Grotor were pleased to receive the communi.
 cation from MT. Perkins as. accord
 ing to one, it is the only indication
 they have received to show that the work was going to be put through
 as the money for this project was raised
 some time ago by issuing of bonds, which were readily disposed of among
 people in New London and Groton.

ST. sWITHIN's DAY WAS
 WET WITHOUT DOUBT St. Swithn's day if thou dost rain, For forty days it will remain


 St. Swithin's day if thou dost rain,
 For forty days it will remain.
 St. Swithins day if thou be fair,
 For forty days will rain nae mair.
 Thus runs the old quatrain that is said to have predicted the weather for hun 'dreds of years prior to the establishments many still believe in it. Probably just as many do not. So that it looks like pretty much of a 50-50 proposition whether the olG saint still has a grip on the weather, if, indeed, he ever had any. Friday was St. Swithin's day, and 1t rained-hard. So if we are to judge by the above pre- diction we can prepare now. for 40 days of rain.
 However, so uncertain has the predic- tion been in past years that not much at tention is paid to it nowadays, most peo- pie preferring to be guided by the wealth CT mans predictions.
 And the weather man predicts that it is going to be hot, for heat wave direct from the south, with all the power that the equator can give it, is coming this way and is expected to hit here within | the next 24 hours. The heat, however, bit is predicted, will be tempered some what by a brisk wind that is expected to to keep the humidity stirred up and to cause the fog to disappear. More sun shine is promised and a thunderstorm is 1 likely within the next\ A hours.
 The heat wave will last over Sunday according to predictions, and this will benefit the beach men, who have been very hard hit by the unruly weather oi | the past fortnight.
