WISE PUBLICITY

The health department appears to
have started on a plan of publicity
that will be of advantage to the peo-
pie of the city If continued. In state
ment emphasizing the fact that the
bite of cat is more dangerous than
that of dog and advising people not
to kill an animal which has bitten a
human being as such killing would
prevent discovering the most advisable
treatment for the victim. the depart
ment says: THE object of the health
department in giving this matter pub
licity is to prevent the owner
of a valuable pet dog or cat from los
ing the animal unnecessarily (if the
animal is not suffering from rabies)
and at the same time to protect the
welfare of the city of New Britain"
Attention is called to this authori-
tative statement of the danger of the
bite of cat not only because of the
value of the information itself, but in
order to give notice that such valua-
BILE statements will probably be issued
by the department and published in
the news columns of this newspaper.
There is no department of the city
more able to give the peo-
pie valuable advice than the health
1t is hoped that this will
be considered part of its duties and
that the people may profit physically
by statements similar to the one pub
lished yesterday.

P. S. A. Asks Board of Edu-

The Public School Association
with which 10 civic organizations
are affiliated last night passed a
resolution calling upon the board
of Education to reveal the con.
tents of its estimates for the fiscal
year beginning July I, 1924.
However. the association prob
ably will get flat refusal from
the school board, members Of the
latter pointing out that the law
specifically provides that the esti-
mates be surrounded with secrecy
until they are placed in the hands
Of the Secretary Of the Treasury.
The request for a peep at the
estimates will probably be made
by Brig. Samuel T. AnselL Gen
eral Ansell is chairman of the APP
preparation committee of the ASSOC
citation. He said that he would
need the guidance of the Board of
EdGcatiOn's estimates in forming a
budget for the association.
Capt. Julius /. Peyser, president
Of the association, who presided at
the meeting in Franklin School
last night, announced that he was
prepared to receive before July 1
communication from each delega-
ton to the association outlining
the needs of their respective neigh
borhoods.
, The association voted to dispense
with the July and August meetings.
Committees will continue to func-
ton.

Transfer Of Mental Cases From
State Institutions Is
Considered.

Transfer Of mental cases among
disabled former service men from
State institutions to hospitals un-
der direct control of the Govern
ment is under consideration by
Director Hines and other officials
of the Veterans Bureau.
While no definite policy has been
formulated. Hines believes it would
be much better for the veterans so
confined to place them in Govern
ment-operated hospitals, where
better care could be given them.
The question is dependent upon
future action by authorities Of the
States authorizing transfers. Tn
Illinois, it was said, 1t will be
necessary to confer with State off,
Gals and discuss the legal aspects
of the matter. In Government hos
pitfalls near Chicago it would be pos
sible to provide 1000 beds for cases
of this nature.
