CONNECTICUT HAD Al
 SMALLPOX CASES I'll


 Connecticut has had rather an unfor- tunate year with smallpox, there being Al cases of smallpox with six fatali- ties up to the present time in the state this year. The last case of smallpox was reported by the Bridgeport Depart ment of Health on Sept. 6, and it is hoped that the freedom of the state from smalhox during the. past four weeks is an indication that the epi- demic which started in December. 1921, has been finally checked. The Al cases reported up to October 14th is the largest number reported in Connecticut during any year for which we have records. says the state health depart ment.
 The epidemic has been an exceedingly costly one from. many viewpoints It has been necessary for health officers disease when it existed in their com munities, thereby lesseniag the time that they could give to the serious dis eases of childhood, such as dipt1the-:a | scarlet fever, measles, etc. In certa,n of the twenty communities of tile state 1 in which the disease prevailed, !t was necessary for the health officer to hire additional help or police protection in order to carry out the necessary meas ! ures to prevent the spread of sraa.l .lpox
 The epidemic played a par. in the economic life of certain communities lby causing certain factories to shut | down when smallpox appeared amoas their workers. for they could not sel the product manufactured when 1t wa. found that smallpox was present in tn, 1 community

ENLEGHrENs FITZGERALD ON

 David Fitzgerald of New Haven, the democratic candidate for governor in Connecticut. shrewd lawyer that he is, continues his cross examination, by asking what is meant lby the plank on taxation in the republican platform, says statement issued by the rep0b- lican state central committee.
