taken to the hearts of that ma
tion. She visited America and
became the darling Of the coun-
try.
But in New York city the adj
verse streak began to dominate
her life. She became acquainted
with NJ. MaIibran, q French bank
or. He was double her age and
IN no way fitted to her tempera-
ment and life. But she believed
him wealthy. Accordingly she
promised to marry him and did
only to go through bankruptcy
with him soon afterward.
Malibran appeared to lose all
interest in his wife. so there was
no surprise when the singer left
MIN and returned to France.
She lost little time in obtaining
9 divorce, and was married the
second time to M. de Beriet, the
celebrated violinist. The pair
went to Brussels to live, and for
q brief period the daughter OF
Garcia knew comparative happi-
ness.
But the misfortune fate had de
decreed for her was not to be es-
capped. 1t was a fall from her
horse-a somewhat slight thing
in itself, but one which brought
about a lingering illness.

an Independent nation for
about one hundred and fifty
years. Yet, how many people
realize that the Spaniards were
settled in America for nearly
as long a time before the first
Pilgrim landed on Plymouth

Yet how many people realize
what great and prosperous cities
were built by the daring sons Of
Spain on this continent while the
English were entirely without

ocean; being contented with their
buccaneering in the Spanish

Panama. If you go through the
Panama Canal and spend a day

REPORT MOTOR ACCIDENTS

No enc wants another to lose his or her meleF operators license unless the less is deserved, For this reason, and because prompt reporting Of motor accidents will tend to identify reckless drivers possibly, attention Is called to the law regarding the report ing Of such accidents as emphasized by announcement of Commissioner stoeekel Of the motor vehicle depart ment,
 The law requires every operator in- volyed in an accident which results in personal injury or damage 10 pro- perty exceeding tio to report such ae- cldent within et hours Of the tlme Is occurred.
 The motor vehicle department will now put the full responsibility of re- porting such accidents upon the opcr- ator or operators Of the car or cars involved, but it will forward to him by mall blank upon which to make out the report.
 The operators license will he sus- pended without further notice fl the report. properly sworn to. Is not re- ccived at the department within two week of the date when the blank was sent.
 It is not unusual for a driver Of a car which has been in an accident to feel that if he settles with the damag- ed party, he need make no further mention of the matter. He, therefore, because of ighorance of tho law. fails to report it and goes on his way feel ing that he has acted quite properly and batting himself on the back for having been square" about the mat ter. He realized that he was to blame and he paid up. It is no ones busi- ness but his own and the man with whom he settled, he thinks.
 But it is somebody else's business. It is the business of the motor vehicle department to know about the acci- dent and. if necessary, to sec to it that sthe person who caused the acci- dent through reckless driving, per- haps is not allowed to go on causing
  accidents and feeling all right about it as long as he "settled up." Some day, perhaps, he might kill child. He could not settle" such case. No monetary payment would settle it. The motor vehicle department feels this way about it. The department wants to keep tabs" on all reckless drivers in the state. The only way to be able to do this is to obtain information about accidents and those participant ing in them. This is what the depart ment is trying to do. And it is the business of every operator of an au- tomobile to work with the department.
 Report your accidents Better still, don't have any.

PREVENT DIPHTHERIA

No child or adult need suffer from diphtheria today!" This is the state ment of a great authority and is em- phasized by the New Britain superin- tendent of health. in his weekly letter published in The Herald Saturday.
 The importance of the statement is self-evident. No excuse is needed for emphasizing it.
 There are two ways of getting rich. One way is never to spend any money you get. The other way is to do the things that will bring you money. It is practically impossible to make use of the first way--we have to spend money in order to live. So, when dis cussing making money, it is best to spend our time learning what the things arc that will bring money to us.
 Likewise there are two ways to pre- vent the development of the disease of diphtheria, says Dr. Pullen. One way is to keep away from it or from people from whom we might catch it. Well this is almost impossible to do. We do not know, and sometimes it is impos- sibe for the health authorities to find out just who may be carrying diph- theria germs about with them.
 So it is best to look at the other way. Wait until a child is over six months old and then have that child treated with toxin-antitoxin. The im- munity to the disease will grow more perfect as the child grows older, and eventually that child will be absolute ly immune. The increasing use of this treatment in this state is lessening the number of cases and will eventually, if it's use is made general, banish the disease because everyone in the state will be immune to it.
 As the old superstitions disappear and as people are recognizing more and more that science is doing won derful things for the race-a race sub feet to ills mainly because of the new causes of disease that have come with civilization-people are turning more and more to science. not only to cure the sick, but to prevent the healthy from losing that health which means strength and happiness.
