BURGLARS CRACK SAFE
 AT NATIONAL BISCUIT co.

Probably between and 4 o'clock Friday morning burglars cracked the safe at the National Biscuit Co., office at the northerly end of North Cove street, alongside the Central Vermont railway tracks, getting something be- tween s10O and $2OO and departing without leaving anything to show how they got into or out of the building. Tools taken from a Central Vermnt tood box near the building were used by the burglars.
 It is believed they did most of their work under cover of the noise of a freight train that goes through here at in the morning. making short stop. Two men were seen around. the outside of the building some time be- tween and 4 o'clock and were seen to meet and go up the track towards Yantic. The Ruley family, who live in. a house within about 300 feet of and in sight of the Biscuit Company of- flee, heard noises in the Biscuit Co.,, building early in the nI5rning and lat
 CT saw the two men around the build ing, but did not pay any further at tention to the incident, except that one member of the family who went to work at 4:30 told Officer P. Shee-
 han ef hearing the noises. The off cer looked over the outside of the building but there were no windows or doors disturbed and nothing to be seen
 to indicate that burglars had been at wark The robbery was first discovered when the office was opened at 7:30 l in the morning and word was at once | telephoned, to Chief George Linton at 1 police headquarters, who sent officer l Sheehan to investigate. c. A. Nay, To-
 cal manager for the Biscuit Co., learn ed of the break while he was on the way to the office.
 l A crowbar, an axe, a heavy ham mer and a cold chisel, which were left behind by the burglars had evident | ly been the tools with which they had 1 worked and no explosives had been used. The combination had been knock ed off the safe and the double doors,
 i.f rather light construction, had been
 prfed open. Two or three bulges along
 the edges of the doors showed where the croWbar had bene inserted and
 workd on until the doors had sprung | open. Then the inside doors were at tackled and demolished to get at the money compartment.
 It remains a mystery how the burg lars got into the building. All doors and all windows, except one, were found closed and fastened. This window could be reached from the roof of q freight car an dit is said tracks were
 found on top of the freight car, but
 there were no marks around the win dow on the inside to indicate that en- trance had been gained that way.
 T The location of the building made T it a favorable place for burglars tt work with little fear of interruption
 as there is no chance that there vii
 be any passers by along the railroad 1 track An electric light on a pole short way from the building throws good light into the office where tn, safe stands.

MEASLES WERE PREVALENT
IN STATE IN JUNE


 The state department of public health has compiled the figures of new cases of diseases for the month of June and the compilation affords an opportunity to make a comparison between the fig ures of 1922 and those of 1921. In some diseases the comparison showed a falling off and in others an incease
 One of the most striking features of the comparison is the remarkable in crease in the cases of measles. During last month the number was 1.43O while in June, 1921. there was only 2S7 cases The disease has apparently reached its greatest height as tle fig ures for May were 1852 or 222 in ex1 cess of the number for June. The pres ent epidemic of measles is the greatest of that disease since 1916.
 There were fifty-seven cases of lobar pneumonia in June of this year. as against sixty-four in 1921. This de- crease marks the falling off in the number of cases of this disease, due to the epidemic of influenza.
 There were no cases of infantile paralysis during the month. In June 1921, there were seven. There were 139 cases of scarlet fever or twenty less than in the corresponding month of last year. But the mortality from this disease showed that 1t was of a very yirulent type. The death rate for the months was 2Sof the number ot diseases. while for the entire year it was only 2.5.
