FOREST FIRE WARNING
New Haven Weather Bureau Re-
ports That Lack OF April Showers
Has Caused Hazard.

New Haven. April : P-Contin-
uance Of winds and lack OF precipi-
tation which usually comes in the
form OF April showers and lack of
late winter SHOWS and rains has
made the countryside so dry that a
fire warning was issued today in

cast OF the local bureau.
The month of March was dry
without snow covering and so far
this month there has been de-
ticiency in moisture in the air.
The woods and fields are in about
the same condition as when winter
set in because the winds have taken
up the scanty spring moisture. This
also has been a spring without
treshets in water courses.
The fire warning Is issued now
that fishermen who beat the brooks.
and others who go out in search OF
spring flowers, may exercise care in
use OF matches. or the ignition of
fires over which to cook.

SOCIAL hygiene
strongly URGED
Teaching Facts to Children Ad-
Vocated by Dr.. Galloway

Washington. April 7.--UP)-
Social hygiene education, begun in
childhood. would raise the stand
ards OF morality in America and
help eliminate divorce, in the opin-
ion OF DR.. Thomas w. Galloway.
head Of the social hygiene society.
THE phenomena of life should
be taught TO children step by step"
DR.. Galloway, a foremost biologist,
said in an exclusive interview with
the United Press today. when a
child reaches five years he should
receive his first lesson.
~ Dung people taught sociology in
the correct way become better citi-
zens and better mothers and fathers
of tomorrow. Instruction OF this
delicate subject. however. should be
given in a proper way"
Mothers and fathers should tell
children the secrets OF life before
they learn about 1t on the streets
and obtain the information with a
bad flavor" DR.. Galloway stated.
Children in lower classes study
frog eggs. when they just as well
could apply the same time TO study
human development" he said.
Social hygiene lessons should
start in the home. graded and high
schools should have courses on the
subject. and colleges should instruct
/ students in it to start them right in
life.
Lifting the veil OF secrecy con-
tanned In old-fashioped conventions
would be great step toward I'M
proving Americas morality stand
ards.
Social hygiene, interpreted cor
rect!y. and taught with kindness
and careful guidance, teaches dis
elimination. Young men would
learn how to pick mates instead of
marrying for infatuation. Clear un-

marriage is a failure, for there are

INSTALL SIGNALS AT
SPRINGFIELD CROSSING

Superintendent MI. Boyle of the
c. & N. w. Ry. Co. and the division
engineer appeared before the Spring
field council Monday evening of last
week and explained the new signal
ing devices which the railroad COM
pany has asked permission to install
to take the place of the present gates.
A request had been made previously,
but the council sought further in
formation and the entire matter was
explained at the Monday night meet
ing. The council granted the request.
The new signaling devices will be
operated by electricity. They will
consist of red lamps which will flash
when train is approaching. A
"Stop" sign, electrically controlled,
will be raised into view also when
trains approach. Above the sign will
be two cross pieces with the words
Railroad Crossing" painted in large
letters. The device is mounted on a
concrete base.
This will take the place of the
crossing gates which were installed
about fifteen years ago when the
council applied to the Railroad and
Warehouse commission for them.
They have been operated by man
in a tower. These gates have been
quite expensive and the railroad COM
pany is making the change on the
grounds of economy. The new device
has the approval of the state high
way Observation-Disclosures Adj
