treasurer Of the Connecticut department
Of the American Legion, was advised by
Governor Lake to seek action by the leg
islature to get funds for the care of dis
aoled ex-service men, as the board Of
control was poweriess to advance money
to the legion. The board last week voted
to appoint the American Legion its agent
and to authorize Mr., Butterworth to
made expenditures under the act estab-
fishing state aid fund for discharged
soldiers and dependents of deceased SOL
dieTS- This failed to solve the legion's
problem. however. for the law provides
that the agency, in this case the legion,
must first get its claims approved by the
board of control, then pay the claims out
Of its own funds, and finally return to
the board Of control for reimbursement

GETS APPROPRIATION TO


DR.. Clara M. H. McGuigan. for 81
years superintendent Of the Mystic Oral
school for the deaf, appeared before the
board of control at Hartford Tuesday and
obtained s5,345.40, which she said was
necessary to pay the bills of the school
due Jan. l. She told the board that in
all her experience she had never had to
ask for money to meet a deficit until the
war came with the accompanying high
prices. She said that the amount allowed
per pupil by the state for the Mystic
school was good deal less than that
allotted in other states where there were
similar institutions
The vigorous plea Of Col. Robert o.
Eaton, state agent for the department of
state agencies and institutions, before the
board resulted in the awarding of SIS
900 out of the fund Of 100000 which
the board is administering to the depart
ment of which Colonel Eaton is the head.
With this money Colonel Eaton hopes to
be able to pay the town bills for the care
of paupers and the expense Of investi-
gators who are looking into the claims of
those who apply for aid up to Feb. /.
This class of expenditures has greatly
increased since the present industrial de-
cline began. The number of those apply
ing for aid and who come within the
pauper class is now estimated to be twice
as great as it was six months ago. APP
plications to the charity organizations
throughout the state are increasing rap
idly, said Colonel Eaton. A notable cir
cumstance in connection with this side of
the states charity work is the fact that
those who are now applying for aid in
considerable numbers are not of the
common vagrant or ''foater" class. Many
of them are persons who up until few
months ago were entirely self supporting
and in some cases even earning wages
above the average.
LAS things are going just now" said
Colonel Eaton. there are applications
enough from the city of Bridgeport alone
to keep one investigator busy all the
time. The reputation of Connecticut as a
rich and prosperous state brings thou
sands here who find it hard to get along
