WestpOrt Is Dark
 When Wires Fall

Westport, Dec. 12-Twelve live cleo tc;c wires on the Boston Post Road near Bulk1ey's Bridge crashed to the ground shortly before 9 o'clock last evening when a telephone pole locat- ed between the bridge and Maple shade farm swung from its base to the ground
 The wires went E'wild' for nearly 20 minutes until power was shut off in Westport. Guards were stationed at points 100 yards distant or more to detour traffic.
 Westport was plunged in darkness for more than 20 minutes and neigh boring towns were robbed of electric illumination until the wire disorder could be localized. An emergency force of electricians who sped from Bridgeport in an automobile repaired the damage shortly after 10 o'clock.

May McAvoy and Agnes Ayres each of whom has appeared as star in many productions.
 Reid is cast in an aunusual role for him, that of a former army mule driver and amateur saXaphone player who comes into a household that is torn with storm and strife and on the point of breaking up and adjusts matters to a nicety so that there is peace and happiness in the end due to his efforts.
 It's a comedy drama and a gem and immensely liked by the big Pal ace audiences who have seen 1t since Sunday night.

State Statistics
 Show Disease in
 Tuberculosis Deaths

Success in the efforts to eventually eliminate tuberculosis by early dis covery and effective treatment of the cases and suspects. is indicated by the publication of the tuberculosis statistics collected by the State De pertinent of Health, which shows rapid reduction in the death rate, which, for the first time in the history of the State, stands at less than 100 for every 100000 population. The exact figure is 95.5 against 119.6 in 1920, 124 in 1919, 154 in 1918 and 158 in 1917.
 Actually, 11S6 persons died in Con necticut from pulmonary tuberculosis ! in 1921 against 1752 in 1917, a say ing of 566 lives a year to the State from this disease alone.
 The State Tuberculosis Commission in a statement issued today, called attention to these figures in connec- ton with the annual Christmas Seal Sale, which it is conducting from it's office in the State capitol and through its local agents, and urged general participation in it by the people of the State. The 21 clinics, the tuber- culosis nursing and educational work of the Commission are financed through the Seal Sale which netted SS0,047 last year.
