To Raise Red
 Flag Of Russia

The raising of the red flag of So~ viet Russia bearing the inscription Russia will be the feature of the May Day mass meeting held under the aus- pices of the AmaIgamated Clothes Workers of America in the city at the the Casino. Monday evening" at o'clock. This was the statement of Samuel Lavit, organizer of the Anal- gan1ated Garment Workers of Amer ica, this morning to representatives of tEe press who called on him to veri- fly ruInor that such happening was to take place. According to LavIt the flag will be raised to celebrate Russia's four years of success in up- hclding the red flag in the face of czarism and despotism.
 Superintendent of Police Patrick J. F'lana gan did not place much credence in Lavit'S statements that he would raise the flag, in fact said that he had not heard anything about it until the matter was brought to his atten- ton by the press. Hit was under the impression that Lavit was looking for some free advertising so as to draw 8 crowd.
 Orders were sent to the various precincts. however, by Superintend- ent Flanagan this morning ordering all police to be in readiness for any May Day demonstrations that might break out and to keep in touch with their superior officers throughout the day in case of any emergencies that might arise.

To Get ogether
 At tCarnival

It is expected that at an early date the difficulties at the Municipal garage will be adjusted to the satIs- faction of everyone concerned. The rank and file of the Democratic workers appreciate the difficulties that is commission is working under, and look upon the recent reorgan1za- tion as a kind of feeling out' pro cess out of which the commission will get tea bearings. They are confident that when this is done everything will be arranged so that the efficiency of the garage work will reach the highest point and at the same time matters will be so adjusted that the party workers will be satisfied.
 It is said that a little later there will be a get-together dinner among the Deomcrats locally, which will be the first gathering since election. Deh- nite plans have not yet been made, as the Corden Hull dinner on Wednes- day at New Haven is now taking up most of the attention of party men. It is intimated. however, that the local Democracy will have at least one, and possibly two, big gatherings between now and the fall of the year. A union of several Of the Democratic clubs in the city have obtained a per init for a carnival, and it is expect ed that this will be quite success.

Nurses Find Seven
 Scarlet Fever Cases

During the past week seven cases of scarlet fever came to the attention of the Health Department through the medium of the Community Nurses employed by the department to visit homes of people unable to afford a private physician or whose children are away from school ill. Dr. R. D. Fear of the Bureau of Communica- ble Diseases, said that this number greatly increased the records of his department and brought more cases to light than were first thought to exist in the city.
 Many of these cases would have passed unnoticed and would have spread the disease if the nurses had not discovered them. When a case is reported, Dr. Fear Immediately inves- tigates and if it is diagnosed as defin- ite scarlet fever the patient is isolat- ed and treatment is rendered by the Health Department. Many children have the sickness but their parents are unable to recognize it and do not take the trouble to notify a family physician. By this failure on the part of parents the mortality rate IS rgreatly increased
