 Vaccinations Continue.
 Dr. j. x. Bull, Plainville health officer stated today that the number of vaccinations during the past few weeks has been very large and dur ing the past few days has been very heavy He is gratiiled that such largo numbers Of people have taken it upon themselves 10 use the only means available 10 protect Plainyille from smallpox and hopes that others who have not yet been yaccina,ed. will hasten 10 be inoculated against tho disease. There is no danger at the present time of smallpox breaking out in Plainrille, but because of Tho large numbers who work in New Britain and the possibility of their roDling into contact with persons af- nscted there, the situation here is grave if proper precautions are not taken. Almost all inc school chil- lren have been vaccinated and the of people who have un- lergone inc treatment is very large. 10 Dr. Bull all of the . doctors in town have had steady vac cination work during the past week. !
 He has nothing but praise for the | manner in which the cmployos or |, factories tn town have responded to l he appeals for caution. Nearly all ' he employees here have. been vac- .inatcd and those that remain will | probably be vacccinated within the / next week. There will be no abatc- ! nent in Inc work Of vaccination here until the disease is entirely cleared |. ID in the neighboring city.

Senator Bursrm, pointing TO me
vote of 81 70 10 by which the SEN
ate passed the bill April l, declared
the measure would be passed over
the Presidents veto. but Republi-
can leaders both in the Senate and
House EXPRESSED the belief that the
Chief Executive would nc sustained
in the veto. The house approved
tho measure without a record vote.
The veto given the measure today
was in effect the second executive
,disapproval of the bill. A somewhat
similar wah passed by the the
last Congress and vetoed by Presi-
dent Harding on the grounds that
il was loosely drawn and would have
put on the pension roll almost every
widow of q civil war veteran, re
CARELESS when she was married.
The bill provides for increases in
the pensions of the veterans Of all
wars up TO and including the Span
ish American War and Of widows
and DEFENDANTS of veterans of all
wars from 1872 to 1902.
Civil war veterans would have
their pensions increased from $50 to
$72 month. and their widows. now
getting so n month. would receive
$50 and so n month. dependent on
age Spanish American War and
other wars. excepting the World War
veterans and their widows would re-
oeiye proportionate increase and a
few manned World War veterans
would receive additional compensa-
ton.
The President estimated that the
bill would cost $JS.0O0.OO0 annually
and bring the total pension bill of
the country to a point higher than
ever before reached.
The measure had the endorsement
of a number OF veterans organiza-
tons. including the Grand Army of
the Republic, and the United Span
ish American war Veterans. Headed
by carmi Thompson Of Ohio. one Of
