Wallace To Probe
 Source Of Insects

Washington, May 17-How the much dreaded insect, the European cornborer, makes its way from Can ada to the southern shore of Lake partment of Agriculture. Secretary Wallace has announced. A small in vestigadng force of entomologists will be established in Sandusky, O., for this purpose, Wallace said.
 The spread of the cornborer is so practically the whole length of the lake that the department experts be- lieve that moths of the insect fly across. The object of the inveStiga- ton is to find out if this is a fact.
 If the Lighth ouse Service grants the department will be placed at certain Hghth ouSes along the American shore on the lake. It is believed that If moths fly from CAnada to fhe United States they are likely to be attracted to the big lights at night. Just how moths remains to be seen.
 It has already been demonstrated that moths under certain conditions can resume flight after falling upon the water. It has been suggested that the islands at the western end of Lake Erie offer resting places for the moths in their journey to the American shore, and the inveStigat will watch to see if this is true.
 The, European cornborer, from its occurrence on the southern shore of Lake Erie, presents a serious menace state and federal forces are bending every effort to hold this pest in check if possible. With the knowledge gained from the proposed investigation it is hoped by federal officials that the work of control may be materially

MEMORIAL PLANNED FOR DOCTOR WHO GAVE LIFE
 In SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

St. Louis, Mo, May 17.-Physicians here are considering establishment of a permanent memorial to Dr. Heber Roberts, of Bellevtlle. H.. who died from X-ray burns sustained during experiments with radioactive sub stances.
 sDr. Roberts began experimenting with X-ray twenty years ago and continued his researches. although the loss of four fingers. one by one, warn ed him of the approaching danger of death through his work. Weeks be- fore his demise he realized he could hot survive the ravaSes done to his system by the burns
 Summ oning his physician friends, he submitted to them a diagnosis of his own case. This was after he had visited sanitariums at Baltimore and Washington and had been treated ac- cording to his own formula for re- lief of such cases.
 Recognized as an authority in K ray treatment, Dr. Robarts determin- ed to take charge of his own cure. But the malignant burns had spread too far, and despite applications of radium. of which he could not stop the spread of the deadly toxins to his chest.
 Post-morten examination of the body confirmed the specialists diag- noSiS of his own case.

Washington, May 17--There will be no merry sky-lark1ng this summer by Uncle Sam's army of workers at seashore and mountain tops at gov i erqment expense.
 ! Your Uncle Sam has put a crinp in free travel abuses. The lid has been clamped on government railroad trav- 1 eI vouchers. In other years thous- lands have Hooked to the summer re :. sorts on the easily procured travel slips.
 The young ''sweIP' or pretty don' Son the government payroll in the old kdays ran the gamut of business" ex- kcuses, and drew free travel checks Ebesides the usual per diem allowance rvVashington. Later on the usual thir- Ety days annual vacation leave with pay allowed government workers was Evutilized to drive dull care away. Now, however. under a rigid econ or1y drive by the President and Gen s,eral Dawes, Director of the Budget, suseless travel by government officials | or employees of any rank is forbidden Bureau chiefs are held responsible | strictly for abuses of the free travel S7priviIege- It is effecting saving to fthe Trea sury of many millions of dol ] lars annually
 Outlay Was Scandal.
 Treasury experts declare that in preceding years the government out lay for this purpose was something in the nature of a scandal Every gov ernment department has it's corps of special investigators and experts, many of whom want to gallop at will and at government expense.
 Until recently officials complained that the hardest work performed by some of this class was that of draw ing their semi-monthly pay
 The efficiency and economy pro- Eramrne has done much to speed up work, and to eliminate waste time and waste motion Under reorganiza- ton plans government workers do not find idleness such a joy as in the days of old.
 This has come through the pro gramune of reducing bureaus to nor nal strength. It has meant lot of trimming in personnel. Still a lot more will be done before peace time basis is reached.
 Many of the government depart ments are over-manned- The Civil Service, now under attack by Repub- ncan leaders is said to have installed thousands in jobs which might easily be abolished without crippling gov ernment work.
 One of the things that higher off, cials complain of is the difficulty of dislodgfng Civil Service appointees

IE2 The Theatres
PARK


 Dispel1tng all doubt concerning their CTS are still scoring repeated success with the presentation of the delightful comedy. "Honors Are Even," which opened at the Park theater, Monday night. While 1t is admitted that the vehicle had a. great deal to do with the success of the company 1t is still admitted that no better in stock has ever been seen here. ''Honors Are Tven'' is a pretty Nt- tie comedy with just the slightest at tempt at seriousness which does not detract in the least from the intent of the author. Like all productions that are credited with being good, 'Honors Are Even," has a happy ending. There are times when it seems as though this will no be the case, but in the end hero and heroine are in each others arms swearing eternal love and all the rest of it.
 The company is here to stay and will probably be seen during the en- tire summer months. It is not often that Bridgeport is given so excellent an opportunity to see an aggregation stock productions and much credit must be given to Director Frank Bond, who is also the leading man, for bringing the company here. Miss Pau la Shay has already won the appro- batton of all who have seen hers and there is no reason in the world why she should not continue her suc- cess among friends. The other mem bers are all good and tte Park City playgoers will reap a benefit during their visit here

Wednesday, May IT, 1922

at a previous session of the Criminal court one of them, Harry Cavanna, Stamford, changed his plea from not guilty of murder in the first degree, to guilty of manslaughter. He was held for sentence and would have been an important witness had the cases come to trial. He was sent to states prison for from three to ten years.
 The heaviest sentences were meted out to William King and Alexander Martin, who each were sent away for from 12 to IS years. William Richman got from seven to twelve years; John Bruno from one to three. and George Mcknight. six months. He pleaded guilty to attempted rob bery, while the others took the same course as that followed by Cavanna. and pleaded guilty to a manslaughter charge.
 In passing the heavy sentences Judge Maltbie remarked that it is time for Connecticut courts to make examples of gunmen, that others of their ilk might take warning and stay out of Connecticut.
