uTeH or MT. ana MrS, NelSOn Delarm of Pierce street, were quarantined yes terday for diphtheria, after Dr. J. N.
 Bull had been called to diagnose the youngsters sickness. Prompt atten- ton upon the part of the parents in calling in a doctor immediately re- suited in the disease being caught in it's infancy, and Dr. Bull is Of the opinion that 1t may be a mild attack. Diphtheria Is one of the contagious diseases which beset communities at times and 1t has to be guarded against promptly in order to check its spread. Dr. Bull is likewise health officer of the town and reports that as far as he knows now these are the only cases in the town.
 The health officer, while not fearful of conditions locally, nevertheless has issued a warning that extra precau- tions be taken upon the part of par l ents to watch for any symptoms of sickness at this time and report them immediately to some local doctor It i is in this way with immediate atten- ton from medical hands, that such contagion can be stopped.
 Sore threats are prevalent during the spasmodic weather which has been in order throughout this district for some time. Parents are cautioned to note any such soreness of the throat, and to look for possible patch es or colorings upon the throats of those suffering. in order that a pos sible serious ailment may not be cov- cred up by the old and overWorked report of sore throat.
 Dr. Bull, as health officer, is natur- ally interested to find out the source from which the two children received the germs which caused their sickness, and he is now busy on this end of the matter. At the same time parents are warned to watch what their children eat and drink, being especially care full Of the sources from which these come Ofttimes germ carrying persons are about who are never sick from the malady which they carry in the form of germs but who give it quickly to those with whom they come in con- tact.
 If the public in general pays spe- cial attention to conditions for lit- tie while and strives earnestly to main tain perfect health, it is probable that Plainville will not be infested with the contagious germs.

 An unknown autoist came to grief in the center of the town last evening when his machine struck a standing New Britain trolley in front of Neris block at the intersection of East Main street and Central Square.

 The problem of safely handling au- to traffic at the terminal of the Bris- tol line has long occupied the atten- ton of local people, but the remedy has not yet been forthcoming Peo- rle living in this town, and in Bris- tol, and New Britain, are accustomed | to the trolley stops in the center of | the town, but strangers driving are unaware of conditions, namely that the troleys are stopped for five and ten minutes right in the center of the town, which makes travel here rather dangerous. Many near fatalities have been reported at the ends of both lines, when autoists would be unaware of the frequent passing of pedestrians from the side walks to board the cars either on West Main or East Main streets.
