AMERICAN DESTROYER GIVEN
 / PERMISSION TO REMAIN
This Contradicts British Reports to Effect That U, S. War Vessel
 Is at Turkish Port

Washington, Feb. 10.-(By the As- sociated Press)-British press reports from the Near East saying the Amer ican destroyer Litchfield recently was in Smyrna, do not accord with official advices here.
 Navy department records show that the Litchfield is not at Smyrna and has not been there for some weeks. The destroyed Edsall is still at Smyrna and the destroyer King was on the way there yesterday from Constantinople. The destroyer Hopkins was at Smyrna day or two ago, but has returned to Constantinople.
 It was said further today at the Navy department that no instructions had been sent from Washington to American naval commanders at Syrr- ma directing them to remain in that harbor in defiance of orders isued by the Turkish officials. If such in- structions have reached the destroyer commanders at Smyrna they must have originated with Rear Admiral Bristol at Constantinople. who has not advised the department of his action. Both Navy and State department ad- vices indicate on the other hand that Turkish edict against foreign war ships has not been held by the Turkish military commander to apply to Amer ican craft.

 often the father and mother as- sume a different name in the factory 50 that they cannot ho found. II hardly seems true hut q call was made recently at one of the factories to visit father regarding his son who suffers from headaches and on whom the ordor Of liouor has been detected.
 Child Had No Clothes.
 Children and girls in particular like to go to school. In fact fl is the proud boast Of most girls that they are bringing their books home from school to study or are carrying some thing to school for the teacher. Some- times the hardest thing for a girl to do is to miss a day at school no mat ter how stormy 1t may be.
 Fathers and mothers. therefore. can realize how a girl would feel if she could not go to school because she was in need. in dire need, of suitable clothing. Such was the case of girl only i3 years of age residing in tho north end of the city who had planned to leave school, although she had not completed the sixth grade, because she did not have suitable garments. As a result of a visit by one of the attendance bureau workers this girl was sent to the welfare organization where she was provided tor and then sent back to school much to her de- light.
 'Littlc Mother" If Years old.
 One cold wintry morning it was found necessary by a worker to wade in deep snow to get to the doorway of little house in the center of the city where a girl had been reported" because of frequent absences. The visitor found that the mother works and the children are cared for by q fl year old sister who claims to have been given permission to stay home by the superintendent. The workers reported that this girl has no good influences outside the home and her name was given to the Girl Reserves. |
 In still another instance where money must be made to last as ong as possible, two small girls were kept at home to take care of the house and the still smaller children, while the mother went shopping.

the public health and safety commit
 tee heard the pro and con Of five
 chiropractic bills. The vitrolic med
 ical opposition is apparently lacking this year. The chiropractors are
 trying to raise the qualifications of their profession, and the five bills referred to point toward this end. along with giving them slightly more recognition in matters of healing than heretofore. It was significant to note that opposition to their program came from but two doctors. both from small towns in the state, and both admitting that there was no strenuous opposition when the whole thing was summed up. In the past, 1t has been very apparent that the different branches of the healing art were at loggerheads. The medical men would oppose without cualifica- tion anything that the osteopaths or chiropractors desired. A hearing on any subject pertaining to the prac- tice of medicine or the art of healing meant crowded hearing and pen- ty of fireworks. This year it is de- cidedly different. Apparently all branches of the healing art are far- monious and as long as the objective is improvement in practice, little or no opposition is heard. The change from legislative years is so positive that the matter is deserving of spe- cial mention.
 Clerk of Bills Office.
 Before any bill can be reported to house or senate, it first must be ap- proved by the clerk of bills, and at | this time there is no busier place = he state capitol. Judge Alfred c. of Derby is the clerk of bills | md he and his staff of assistants at end to the wants of a long line of :. egislators each day. All sorts of vex- ng problems are encountered too. Tor example, one bill carrying an ap- for employees of one of he state departments had one item, clerks, stenographers, etc." with he total amount required at the side. Before putting o. K. on it, Judge Baldwin was seen hurrying into the ,ffice of that department, with the nquiry What does etc. cover?" A ertain portion of, the amount re- uested was for extra help, and the etc." was accordingly changed to cad extra help" This is just an xample of how exacting the office of Jerk of bills must be.

Defeated Republican Has

Washington Bureau of New Britain HersId)
 Washington, D. C.. Feb. 10.- Patrick B. O'Sullivan, of Derby, Conn, Representatives from the fifth Connecticut district, was at the capi- tol today, being introduced to his fu- ture colleagues in the house by Rep resentative James P Glynn, whom he defeated for reelection. It is some- what unusual for democratic rep resentative to be introduced by his republican predecessor, and the oc- currence aroused quite bit of hum- orous comment. It was pointed out, however, that there are at present no democratic members of the Connecti- cut delegation, as the republican party in the nutmeg state has never adopted dry platform.

advisory body. It is comprised Of
 some of the biggest and best qualified
 men in the state. who planned a
 budget each legislative year, and sub
 mitted it to the appropriations com-
 mittee, and then watched the com mittee check over a large part of it's work, spending considerable time doing so. In the past, the legislature has looked to the finance board for the estimates of state expenditure for the two years subsequent to the leg islative sessions, and has based it's budget bill at the end Of the session largely upon the summaries arrived at by the board of finance, covering every department and institution in which the state is interested. This year, however, the procedure has been changed-and undoubtedly improved, by a saving of considerable time.
 The present appropriations com mittee rejected all hospital appro- priation bills during the week. It was explained when this was done that all of these appropriations would be in- cluded in the budget bill at later date, and the appropriations would be made along the lines suggested by the board of finance. The latter body always makes an exhaustive survey of all appropriations asked and the results are presented to the appropri- | ations committee early in the session. ! Instead of another investigation of | the circumstances surrounding the | appropriations asked for by state de- partments, institutions, hospitals and others, the committee will be guided | as far as this matter is concerned, by the boards report, thus eliminating the usual investigations which lap over each other and which seem un- necessary. A week, or perhaps two weeks will be saved by the appropri- ations committee in the adoption of this plan, and for the first time, the board of finance will actually operate as it was originally intended to, and not merely operate in an advisory ca pacity.
