Victim
 Died Last Night

Thomas Kelly. who was removed to the Bridgeport hospital from the Emergency hospital, Thursday night, where he was brought by a friend, suffering from aphasia and convu1s- i've movements of the face and right arm, died there last night. When removed from the Emergency hos pital his condition was regarded as serious, but he rallied under the treatmfent received at the Bridgeport hospital. Last night he took a turn for the worse and died.
 He was brought to the Emergency by a friend who knew only his name and as Kelly, was unable to talk. No complete history of himself could be given. The friends name was not learned by Emergency authorities but he is believed to reside in either Milford or Stratford. Kelly was em- ployed by a man named Clark in Mil ford as a fireman.
 The case has been turned over to Medical Examiner Samuel M. GarIick who is making every effort to locate friends or relatives of the dead man.

STAMFORD

The balance of the proposed bud get for 1922-1923. as arranged by Town manager R. H. Hunter, and for some reason made public some days before being mailed to taxpayers, for whom it was supposedly intended, fol- lows below. Table No. l, was pub lfshed yesterday. Equal blame and praise has been heard of the budget and method employed in having it reach the taxpayers. However, the fact that the mass of figures was made public, will perhaps gain some friends for the new plan.
 There seems to be mighty few neu trals in Stratford. The great ma jority of the citizens is either strong for or strong against, and in either case almost impossible to turn by ar gument statement of facts. Among the newcomers there is a certain per centage of neutrals who are tired of hearing the perpetual squabble- Here is what has started the talk fest on @ brand new course:

SMALL TOWN THEATRES
 ARE PASSING

Communications from readers often furnish interesting matter. Som, of the oldtime theatregoers who art acquainted with the revolution il caused by the advent of the I'm ovies" very likely will agree witt Joseph Rupert of Stamford who re grets the passing of the Small Towr Theatre by the films which are re placing the spoken drama. MT. Ru pert in a letter to the New York Herald writes:
 English spoken plays are few CT and fewer in small towns in comparison with the growth in population. The silent picture drama is taking their place. This is to be regretted because of the consequent loss of instruction in the correct speaking of English instruction of which there is real need by the mixed races forming our population.
 Why is it little companies of players no longer visit the small towns, mix with the plain coun- try people, eat the good country meals and sleep in the deep feather beds after playing in the opera house or town hall? Many great actors got their training playing to country folks and enunciated English in a way that inspired a better use of the English language in the country towns.
 One sees hundreds, perhaps thousands, of English speaking actors and actresses walking the streets idle, many carrying the banner" in the big cities, while the town hall and the old opera house and the country hotel and the country miss their presence and would like to have the old plays again and to hear the old English language spoken correctly on the stage.
 Moving pictures do not take the place of the spoken drama. Small towns do not insist upon elaborate scenery and expensive productions. The trouble is due in part to Brind ellism, I think to ombinations of capital as well as labor; the big interests kill off the small companies Whatever the cause, the result is regrettable. The English lan- guage is being forced off the small town stage

Billy Whisker.s
By Frances Trego Montgomery.

Stubby had a. most delightful drive, for the day was fine and he sat on the seat beside MT. Black burn who put out his hand and pet ted him every now and then. Be sides, it was much cooler and pIeasanter sitting on the seat. talk ing in everything, than it was run ming along in the dust behind the trotting horses, as most always he had to do. And then, too, when he was thirsty, MT. Bla ck1burn gave him a nice cool drink of fresh water, in stead of the muddy water in the gut ters that he had always had to drink before. Taking it all in all, he thought MT Blackburn was far the alindest man he had ever met, and already he felt sure he would hate to leave him when Billy was ready to go. But that would probably not be for some time.
 To show that he appreciated Mrs B1ackburn's kindness and the good dinner she had given him. Button wandered around to see if there was not something he could do so please her. As he stood In tQe kitchen door, he heard her say to Molly, the cook:
 Molly, that old rat has been eat ing things in the cellar again and he's sharp to go into the trap to get the cheese. I am sure I don't know

what We are going to bo about it.''
 She had forgotten the big, black cat she had given 8 dinner.
 Here was just the chance for But ton! And he saw it and took it.
 Quietly stealing into the cellar, he hid in the coal bin on the coal which was just as black as himself, and all any rat could see were two bright spots that shone like red coaIs for one minute and the next looked like blue stars Presently his whiskers began to raise-for he smeIt a rat The next second a big rat, all un- suspect1ng of big cat lying in wait for him, ran across the floor not three feet in front of Buttons nose. The next he knew something heavy lit on his back, with it's teeth in it's neck. and MT. Rat knew no more.
 When the rat was quite dead, But ton carried it up out of the cellar and laid it by the stove in the kit chen, so Mrs Blackburn would see it. Then he went back to SC if he could not catch some more. He kept do- ing this until he had one whole fam fly of rats. The first he caught was the papa rat; then mamma rat came out to see why papa rat had not come back, and after waiting a long time and neither their papa nor mamma having returned, the big brother went after them, then the big sis ter, then the next oldest boy and so on until Button had killed seven good-sized rats. all of which the cook found in a row beside the stove when she came in.
 Of course Molly was very much surprised, and called Mrs. Blackburn to see what she had in the kitchen.

HIGHWAY CONTRACT
 AWARDED BY CALF.

PHOENIX, Oct. 1.-The Arizona highway department is in receipt Of information from Col. Ed. Fletcher of San Diego that on October the State Highway commission of Cali fornia let contract for 14 l-2 miles Of asphsltic concrete paving. com p;eting the connection of the paving east of Holtville with the plank road across the sand dunes west of Yuma. This I4-miIe stretch was one of the worst places of road between Phoe- nix and Los Angeles and it's elimina. ton will be greeted with three rous- ing cheers by automobile drivers. It is understood that the California Highway commission has requested the bureau or public roads to con. struct the highway from the eastern end of the plank road to the Colorado river. This portion of the route is within the Indian resrvation and can be handled directly by the bureau o. public roads upon the request of the California highway commission.
 The elimination Of these two bad stretches of road. together with the Improvement of the road from Phoe. nix to Yuma. will greatly facilitate travel to the coast this summer.
