DPHTHERA IN STATE IS NOW GROWING LESS

Free distribution of diphtheria anti-tox- in by the state board of health, says a curren report of that body, has been mark ed by an attendant big reelection in the death rate of that disease in Connecticut.
 This was particularly noticeable Gurlng 1921 when the rate of death per 100 eases drd-ped about 20 per cent. over the pre- ceding year. In 1921, the lowest death rate for the disease ever recorded Tn the state 5.2 per cent. was noted, while in 1920 the rate was 6.3, according to the bull letin.
 Before 1894. the report explains, p to 40 per cent of diphtheria cases died In 1894 anti-toxin was first used by a Connecticut physician. By 1900, only 17.9 per cent. of cases died It was with the increasing use of anti-toxin that in 1910 the rate had sunk to 11.7 or about one in every nine cases died. Last year one in each 20 cases died. And these mainly because the anti1toxin was given too late for effectu- ally combating the diphthe1ia germs
 The lowered rate the Health Mentor states show what can be accomplished by the combined efforts of parents. health officers and physicians. Further work is to be done by using the Shicl6 test and daahtheria vaccine mixture which the Bridgeport health department through it's communicable disease department has used for immunizing purposes for several years.
 The report states that about !75 per cent of the children entering school can catch diphtheria These susceptIbles can be picked out by aPplying the simple and harmless Shick test and later fnTnunized for life by the mild toxin and anti-toxln mixture, given by the health department or any physician. Diphtheria has been prevalent in this city all winter, averag- ing about fifteen cases a week. Witt proper cooperation from all sources it is expected to effect substantial reduction 1 of this number.

CONNECTICUT MANUFACTURERS
 WELL SUPPLIED WITH COAL


 That the manufacturers of Connecti- cut as whole are well able to meet the possibility ot an extended duration of the preent coal strike was the opinion ex- pressed at Hartford by Clifton Jackson, secretary of the Manufacturers' associa- ton of Connecticut, Friya morning. He said that the attitude of the industrial heads in the state was not dissimilar from that of congress itself towards the miners strike-that while 1t was an un- fortunate occurrence and was bound to affect transportation costs, it was in the nature of things, and a more or less inevitable occurrence in the graduai struggle to get back to normal wages and normal conditions in general. He said that while he was unable to speak authoritatively for the industrial con- cerns all over the state. and the individ- uai situation in which each one was meeting the possible coal shortage, he believed that w1th a considerable curtail. ment in the use of thar present supply there was enough coa Ito carry the in. | dustrial plants through.
 The manufacturers association had | been for some months occupied with the whole question of the coal supply, he declared and was actively concerned witt means whereby new sources of supply 1 could be obtained. With that en dir view number of traffic bulletins haG been sent out in the past month to tn. members of the association, giving in formation on rates for carrying coal tt Connecticut cities from non-union field and other information which has prov ed useful In view of the present strike MT. Jackson said that the association 1 was fully allie to the gravity of tn problem, realizing that any trouble re acted in the last analysis on the pur chaser himself. but 1t realized furthe that the present strike was an inevita ble phase in the gradual readjustment o industrial conditions and that thfre wa little that could be done to change tn situation by the manufacturers them selves.

DYNAMITE BLAST OF

Since last Monday the contractor on the road work just beyond Fox Hiil on the trunk line between Norwich and Westerly has had the road posted as completely closed to travel.

The charge lifted thousands of tons of rock out of the ledge and landed a good part of 1t in the road which Is TOW thor oughly impossible. A detour is provided by way of Poquetanuck.
 Ninety two holes were drilled for the dynamite and the explosion made a com plete delivery of vast quantities of stone that will be crushed and used in the con. struction Of the two miles of bituminous road for two miles south from Fox hill.
