CONNECTS BAD ROADS WITH HOSPITAL RUSH Auto Traffic Great Busi- ness for Institution,
 Moore Says

lntlmatlons that the lack of ade- quate highway facilities out of New Britain Is responsible for sending victims to the New Britain General hospital were made today by E. AL len Moore, chairman Of the board of directors Of the Stanley Works, in an address to the hospital Rotary club.
 The hospital Rotary club is an organization consisting Of all the nurses. students, regulars, supervis- ors and specials. all the internes, and hospital officials, including Dr. l. Eoen Reeks, superintendent. Miss Maude E. Traver, directress, James 5. North, chairman of the training school and William $. Cannon, busi- ness manager of the hospital.
 MT. Moore was introduced by Mir. North, who explained to the new student nurses that the object of the club which meets for luncheon every Friday noon. was for a good time and to give the nurses an op- portunity to relax.
 In opening his address Mr. Moore recalled the fact that years ago when student nurses entered training if they came from other towns or states 1t would be weeks at a time before they would See their friends or relatives from their home town. Times have changed now according to the manufacturer. who told the nurses that With the Boston Post road running through the narrow street of Berlin, and New Britain traffic being forced to so that way, and as long as the highway commits sioner refuses to rulld a new high way On the Cathode road, people from your home town will continue to come here on stretchers as they do.
 "The automobile traffic is a great business-for the hospital. IL is 8. good thing to carry food and drink and as long as that lasts you will ind it intimately acquainted with your business here"
 He called attention to the fact that physicians and nurses aided by scientific research for years by in oculation and serums and by silent traffic policemen and fly spraying apparatus have been trying to do away with disease, yet there is more demand for nurses every day"
 He closed by paying tribute to the vocation of nursing and saying 1t calls for the highest type of personal personality.
 Before introducing Mir. Moore, Mir. North asked for guesses as to his actual vocation. Within few min utes the head Of the Stanley Works earned that besides being a manu- ,acturer. he was a farmer. a sur yeon. a clergyman, an undertaken, and movie star.
 A poem, dedicated to MT. North and pr. Reeks on recent trip to some trout streams in Nova Scotia was read by Miss Traver. Mr. Can non led in group singing.
 On vote taken by MT. Cannon o ascertain how many of the nurses had bobbed hair and how many still stick to lengthy tresses. 1t was found hat about two-thirds have bohbed heir hair.
 Another meeting will be held next Friday.

 The City Of New Britain has doubled the number of cars serving it's departments in the past four years and many of the machines were purchased where no real need existed. members of the garage con- mission were informed by City Me chanic Lincoln May when the board met last night 10 consider inaugura- tion of a taxi system.
 The city mechanics observation of the use to which city cars are put convinces him. he said, that many departments could employ a taxi sys- tenn at saving to the taxpayers, since many machines stand idle in the garage for hours each day.
 Commission Heads to Meet.
 At the suggestion of Chairman Brainard w. Brown. the board voted to ask Mayor Weld to call represent atives of all boards in a conference to discuss the taxi plan. The chair man felt a system inaugurated over the heads of departments would not be successful because ready coop eration might not be given. In the meantime the plan employed in Hartford and elsewhere will be studied.
 Chairman Brown reported he had been questioned as to why all tires for city cars are purchased at one dealers place of business. Commits sioner Walter J. Kenney said the same question was put to him by a member of the finance committee and he replied that city departments are convinced the tire used is the one which gives the greatest service and mileage at the least cost. It was voted to ask all dealers to offer prices and mileage records, provided they are interested In city business.
 Many Tires and Tools Stolen
 The city mechanic reported much petty thieving is going on in the municipal garage, motormeters, tires and tools being missed in great numbers. For a portion of the night no one Is on duty and it Is believed the losses occur at that time.

Detroit, Oct. Is R-The navy's great airship. the Los Angeles, ar rived at the Ford airport at Dear born, near here, at BPS a. m. today and was anchored safely to the mooring tower two and a half hours later.
 Trip Made In 16 Hours.
 The big zeppelin completed the voyage from the airport at Lake hurst, N. J., to Dearborn, the ob- jective of the ill-fated Shenandoah, in slightly more than Is hours. Weather conditions encountered along the route were generally good and the ship functioned well, ac- cording to members of the crew.
 Thousands of persons waited all night for the arrival of the dirigible at the airport and cheered as the big gray hulk hove into sight. AL though the airport, which is fenced off was not thrown open to the pub lie until after the ship was moored, crowds gathered at the enclosure and witnessed the arrival and mooring operations from outside.
 Movers About Two Hours.
 Lieutenant 2. w. Hicks of the Lakehurst airport was in charge of the landing crew detailed to re- ceive the Los Angeles. The ship lowered about the mooring mast more than two hours. Finally linea were caught and the great dirigible drawn gently down by means of a travelling mooring groove. The land ing tower is the newest of its kind. the invention of Herbert Thaden of Detroit and the Les Angeles was the first large ship attached to 1t.
 Lieutenant Commander c. E. Rosendahl, in charge of the ship was the first to chamber down the lad der to the ground. He was quickly followed by Admiral Moffett and others of the personnel.
 Officers and Men Weary.
 After greetings by members of the crew and officials at the airport, they were whisked off to quarters prepared for them for a little rest preparatory to an official welcome to be extended later by city authorities and others.
 Most of the men showed signs of fatigue, having been on watch since their departure from Lakehurst.
 The trip, which marked the first | inland voyage of the Los Angeles | was without serious mishap. Casting off from the naval airport at Lake | hurst at 11:05 a. m. Thursday morn- ng the ship maintained a speed of | better than 50 miles per hour over | Pennsylvania. AS it entered the l dangerous pocket territory of Ohio he ship was piloted close to the ground. Although no particularly serious winds were encountered in he district. Commander Rosendahl who was also second in command If the Shenandoah, took every pre- 'aution on his second venture.
 Caution Is Exercised.

SEVEN ARRESTS IN
 DISEASED CATTLE
 FRAUDS ARE ASKED
Grand Jury at Springfield, Mass, Hands Down Twenty
 Secret Indictments
SIX RECOMMENDATIONS
 FOR STATUTE CHANGES

Action Results from Unscrupulous
 Dealers Buying up Tubercular
 Cattle, Reporting Them to Health
 Authorities and Then CoIlectinp
 States Bounty When They Were
 Ordered Killed,
 Springfield, Mass, Oct. 15.-P- Twenty secret indictments against seven persons were returned today by the Hampden county grand jury which for more than two weeks has been Investigating reports of fraud In connection with dealings in tuber- cular cattle. The report was made to Judge Edward T. Broadhurst. Ar rests of the person against whom the Indictments are returned are ex- pected to be made today.
 Proposed Law Changes
 District Attorney c. H. Wright made public six recommendations made by the grand jury for amend ments to the statutes governing the testing of tubercular cattle, and he said that Assistant Attorney General James H. Devlin of Boston, who has been present in the grand jury room, will take them to Boston to be presented to the division of ami nal industry of the department of conservation.
 The existing statutes are said to be an invitation to interruptions cat tlemen and farmers to defraud the state and federal government in asking and obtaining indemnity for cattle slaughtered.
 The indictments returned today are said to charge larceny, but since the indictments are secret the exact offense charged is not yet made known.
 Exhaustive Inquiry
 The grand jury made recom-
 
 vestigation into charges of fraud, alleged to have been committed un- der section s5 of chapter l29 and amendments thereto, telling the di- vision of aniilal industry that 1t seems to the jurors that the bureau could well consider certain sugges- tions for changes in the regulations and statutes governing the condem- nation of tuberculin cattle and the Of their owners.
 It is admitted in the recom- that the grand jury is without authority in the subject and realizes that it lacks the specialized knowledge necessary to a proper consideration of the subject and a final decision upon matters upon which 1t comments.
 Tt has appeared however" says the report, ''in the course of it's that it Is possible that the general scheme under which the condemnation of tubercular cattle is now carried out might be improved upon, and 1t respectfully makes the following suggestions, in the hope that they may be of some value to the said bureau of animal industry"
 Would Require Oath
 Then follows five suggestions that applications for tests ue made under oath: That persons buying condemn ed animals give under oath the tag number and the price at which pur- chased; that statutes be amended to confine tests to herds that are gath: cred together, maintained and estab- .ished solely for the purpose of producing milk: to require private testing cattle to report Ill private tests; and to require per sons slaughtering branded or tag sed animals to report the facts with tag numbers and description of he animals"
