Ten Fire Traps
 Reported Here

A careful check-up of suspicious cases of sickness in the fire depart ment is expected hereafter, as the re- suit of the action of the board last night in requesting Department Sur geon William H. Curley to submit to the board written reports of the mum Der of men and their condition on sick leave in the future.
 This will give the board a chance to find out who are the constantly sick possible that in the near future a rule similar to that recently put into effect in the Police Department of not paying the sick members except on the recommendation of the super intendent will be put into operation in the Fire Department
 Many Fire Traps.
 A conference between Chief John son of the Fire Department, and Dan iel M. Rowland, building inspector, Is expected to be held some time in the near future as the result of a meet ing of the Board of Fire Commis- sioners last night when 1t was re- ported that there are at the present time ten buildings in the city com monly known as ffretraps.
 Three of these buildings are among the cheap lodging houses in the vicin- ity of Water street and it Is said that in case a fire ever did break out in one there is sure to be a panic. Most of the buildings might be altered to cOn1Orm with the laws la1o OOWn Dy the Fire Commissioners concerning the installing of escapes. etc, and it is thought that the chief and building inspector will get together some time in the near future on the matter.
 A communication was received from City Attorney John A. Cornell. who was asked for an opinion on the "sten ogra.pfler question" He decided in favor of the Noonan-Dawe side of the house, but due to the absence of Commissioner Finnegan no action was taken on the matter.
 A communication was also read from the Board of Governors of the City Dispensary in reference to a re- quest the Fire Department made re- gently asking that in case of two alarm fires the ambulance automatic fly respond to the fire. The Board of Governors stated that from the hours of a. m. to D. m. while the regular ambulance staff is on duty it will respond and after that time will try to cooperate with the depart ment as far as possible.

Salada Tea
 Company Bonus
A Premium On Marriage and Child birth, the Latest Departure for
 the Benefit of Employees.

The personal equation which so many manufacturing and commercial corporations are making a part and policy of their business in the inter est of their empIoyes.ha an admirable illustration in the decision of the Sa- dada Tea Company, which has just in- stituted bonus of S10O to be given to every employe who has been with the company over a year as a we'd ding dowry and $100 on the birth of every child
 It Is stated specifically in the case of an employe who happens to have been married before entering the em- ploy of the corporation that S100 will be forthcoming in the event of a child born any time after said employe has been a year or more with the corpora ton.
 Although it Is but a month since this policy has been enforced, there is already one member of the office force, Miss M. Blanche Macdonald, who will benefit by the provision. Miss Macdonald will be married on June 6 to F. J. Rooney of Newton. The marriage will take place at 8 solemn nuptial mass at the Mission church. Roxbury. Miss Mcdonald will be the first ''Salada" bride to receive the $100 dowry.

Commissioner Macdonald Urges Uniform Traffic
 L0lus For Connecticut

Uniform traffic laws throughout the state were advocated by Deputy Com missioner of Motor Vehicles John A Macdonald at a gathering of mem bers of the police traffic squad and the Manufacturers association in po- lice headquarters last night.
 The meeting was presided over by J. H. s: Lynde. president of the Safety Council. who introduced the speaker of the evening. John A. Mac Donald, deputy commissioner of the Motor Vehicle Department of the state of Connecticut.
 MT Macdonald interpreted many of the minor laws of the Motor Vehicle Department and cited many cases of fatalities resulting from violations of these so called minor laws. He first traced the history of the Motor Ve- htcle Laws and showed how they have changed from year to year under changing conditions. He claimed that laws should be enforced if they are enforcible, and if they do not belong on the statutes they should be cut out. He further said that the in creasing number of motor vehicles in the state and in the country called for increased discipline by the duly Donald said that it is the desire of his department to have an a1l-year- round campaign to prevent accidents on the highways. He indicated the necessity of uniform enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Laws in all muni- cipalities in the state. He cited cases where certain laws were not enforced in certain cities and operators resid- ing in those cities found it embarrasS- ing when they visited other cities where the same laws were enforced. He called attention of his audience to the importance of having front and rear markers on all motor vehicles properly adjusted and discernfbFe at the regulation distance night and day. He cited cases where criminals fleeing in automobi have been able to evade detection because their markers were muddy or otherwise obscured.
 MT. Macdonald also cited cases where accidents have resulted in the absence of tail lights. One case in particular was where the driver of an automobile was decapitated as the result of coming into contact with the tail board of @ truck.
 The parking of vehicles near cor ners and at other dangerous locations was condemned as being a contrfbut- Ing cause to accidents. Also parking ing on both sides of a narrow two way street, which practically made a one-way street of 1t. MT. MacDon- ald called attention to the imp portance of every operator having his registra- ton card on his person, as the ab- sence of same is not only a violation but prevents the operator from re- covering at law in the case of acci- dent.

The insisting on "the right of way" by operators is a dangerous practice, as such an operator must show that he used due caution to prevent an accident even when he had the right Of way.
 The importance of the use of the three-hand signals by operators was indicated as one means of preventing accidents. He further stated that the use of mechanical signals is not a substitute for the hand signals. as the mechanical signal does not indicate the direction the operator intends to take.
 MT. Macdonald stated that simply having a licensed operator in a car did not permit an unlicensed person to operate said car unless the licensed operator is seated beside the unlicens- ed operator and acting an in structor. He indicated the import ance of having the licensed operators s signature on the license to prevent same from being signed and used by person finding such license.

 Residents and business men of the over one location where two smallpox cases are said to exist in one family, and in which case it is said the quar- antine as being followed by members of the family are ludicrous. The most fragrant alleged violation was the selling broadcast of milk by this family, several days after the disease had developed, while several mer- chants at the Green have had to or der other members of the same family from their places of business.
 Seventeen cases is now the Strat- ford total, and all lodge and club meetings have been ordered suspend ed. A meeting held night before last in Center school, has been the cause of comment, and the feeling seems to be growing that the regulations should be modified, in view of the apparent impossibi1ity of enforcing a strict quarantine without assistance from state authorities

COPPER PROPERTY IN MINERAL PARK /
 LOOKS VERY GOOD

MT. and Mrs. John Kay and their son Lyon are over from Mineral Park. They report that they have a hoist and pump on the ground and will soon have it in commission, when sinking below the present level will be undertaken. The shaft is now down 60 feet and is in fine copper ore. With greater depth crosscut will be driven across. the whole ore body, which is understood to be very wide. The values from this shaft have run from 15qe to over 50@o copper. The territory in which the ore occurs is most promising from a copper stand point and we believe that something exceptionally good will be opened there should sufficient development work be carried on. The exploration of that whole territory by diamond drilling would be most satisfactory and it is to be hoped that for, the. we'll being of the county some one will un- dertake it. The deposit is very wide and drilling could be carried on with little trouble. ..
 The whole territory composing the lower part of Mineral Park basin is ore bearing; copper predominating. The uplift of porphyry appears to be the territory that took up the copper solutions, and it is in this territory that the tarqnoises are. to be- found, similar in many respects to the coun- try of the Burro mountains, in New Mexico. It is under these deposits of turquoise that copper deposits may be found and are found.

THE NAVAJO

A world of red and furnished gold, A, thousand painted buttes of sand, Where cactus flowers their leaves un-
 fold,
 And sun shines bright across the land. From desert wastes of purple sage, To mountain peaks all white with
 snow,
 Since many a long forgotten age Has lived the war-like Navajo. Proud of his race, his strength, his
 skill,
 Eager to hunt in sun and rain, Awake, alert, and quick to kill All who invade his wide domain. Ready to sacrifice his life To help his tribe in veal, or woe, No task too hard, no stress or strife Too great for the brave Navajo. The spring time comes with gentle
 rain,
 To make his crop a better yield. The summer sun will shine again And 'doubly bless his wind-swept field. The autumn hunt brings bear and
 deer,
 For work will always food bestow, The winters cold he does not fear His Ged" will keep. the Navajo.
 = At night by camp-fires blazing bright, He joins the dance, or pipe of peace, Then heath the moonbeams silver
 light '. 2 . In blankets warm lies down to sleep. The cougars cry and coyotes howl, Their lone weird hungry vail of woe, Around his hogan wild beats prowl, But naught disturbs the Navajo. He loves his home his wild life land, With great arroyos deep and wide, The mountains, mesas, canyons grand Where his forefathers lived and died. From the crimson beam, at break of day,
 To evenings sunset saffron glow He thanks his God in his own way For blessings on the Navajo. o pale-face friend with greedy hands Keep off your herds and flocks of
 sheep, ~ You do not need his buttes of sand His desert where "the red sun leaps;" God who doth mark the sparrows fall Will call to answer friend or foe Who rob His children-"One and all Hands off the passing Navajo" |-, Minnie J. Hardy.
