 Attention was directed to the Lindbergh Aeronautics corporation by the Wilmington Chamber of Commerce, which asked the Will liam J. Burns international detec- tive agency to investigate the com pany.

SMALL NEWS ITEM
 ON WINDING TRAIL
Goes Through Many Hands Be-
 fore Reaching PresSroon

Every item of New Britain news. even to the mere announcement that someone is spending the weekend at the seashore, must go through the hands of at least seven people before it is ready for the pressmrn and in the forms. Large stories re- quire the attention of even more than that, at times.
 The item is first obtained from its source by a reporter who typewrltes it. The typewrotten sheet is sent 10 the city editor who edits it, judges
 it's news value and writes the head ing. It is then sent to the compos- ing room where it enters the hands of the operator who sets the story in type. Then the story is taken by apprentice printer who makes proof copy of the story and sends it to the proof readers. The latter look the story over for typographi- cal, or other errors and send 1t back to the printer for correction then to the apprentice who gives the type to the foreman or his assistant. who places the type in the forms.
 In the case of a story telephoned in, it must go through the hands of the person at the switchboard before reaching the others mentioned.
 After the story. with others. is locked in the forms. it goes on a trip to the press room, where force of men is waiting to prepare the pages for the press. The fiat forms are cast into half cylinders before they can be placed on the press. involv- ing considerable activity. When all the pages have been sent to the press room. the press is started and the copies of the evening edition are ready for distribution.
 The distribution of the papers requires the services of several more people, from men who delievr the bundles of papers in trucks to the newsboys who sell them on the streets.
 In the case of a big news story. several reporters are sometimes en- ployed, securing various angles or "slants." For instance, in the case of fire, one will take care of one angle of the story. while others will be engaged in still different branches.
 When you see in the evening paper the announcement that Miss Agnes Somebody will spend tn" week end at Redman's Beach" con- essary before it has been possible 10 bring it to your doorstep.

PROFESSIONAL SECRECY
Special Committee of the Academy
 of Medicine Takes Up Study of
 Big Question.

Paris, June 1S.-R-The question of professional secrecy as it con- cerns doctors is now the subject of study by special committee of the Academy of Medicine.
 The committee was constituted after Dr. Letulle. in a report to the learned society, came out strongly in favor of absolute medical secrecy. He went so far as to say that .the required declaration of contagious diseases was incumbent solely on the families involved. and that the doc tor who reported them without the families consent was usurping a prerogative that did not belong to him.
 For some time there has been considerable agitation in favor of Medical Association code which should strictly define the duties of doctors and prescribe adequate pen alties for infringements. The medi- cal men favoring this move would model their ethical charter on that of the Paris Bar association.

ST0RK AHEAD IN
 RACE WITH REAPER
Births Here in 1926 Double
 Number of Deaths
BY GEORGE H. MANNING

1 Washington Bureau of the x. 8. Hersidl Washington. D. C.. June 1S-De spite the fact that both the birtf , and death rates in New Britain were lower last year than in 1925, the number of births was more thar twice as great as the number ol deaths.
 Last year there were 1863 births in New Britain while death claimed GS7. When these figures are com pared with statistics for the preced- ing year, however. it is shown that the birth rate decreased from PAP per 1000 of population in 1923 to 2c5 last year and the death rate decreased from 9.3 to 9.20. Of the were infants under the age of one year. The infant mortality rate, therefore, was S1.3 per every 1000 births. representing a decrease when compared with the 103.2 rate for 1925.
 The contrary of the situation in New Britain was true of Bristol and Hartford. In each of these cities the birth and death rates increased. In Bristol there were SIS births. or 26.6 per each 1000 or population. representing an increase over the 1925 rate of 24. There were 262 Esaths, or 10.3 per each 1000 of population. an increase over the S.9 rate for the preceding year. There were 4.136 births and 2.129 deaths in Hartford, the birth rate increas- ing from 247. in 1925 to 25.2 last year and the death rate increasing from 1o.S to 13. The infant mortal ity rate at Bristol decreased while at Hartford the rate increased.
 Connecticut's birth rate decreased and it's death rate increased when statistics for 1925 are compared with those for last year. A total of 29,077 births were reported for the state last year. representing rate of 1S.1 births for every 1000 of population. The year before the rate was 1S.9 births per 1000 Of population. The total number of deaths reported last year was 1S,319 or 14.3 deaths per every 1000 of population. This was an increase over the previous years death rate of 11.2 per 1000 population. Of the total number of deaths in the state, 2.l01 were infants under the age of one year. The infant mortality 1,a tnf, 7S.3 pepr 1000 births in 1925 to 12.3 last year.
 Birth rates for 1926 were lower than for 1925 in 26 out of 2S states for which statistics are available. Florida, with a rate of c6.4 births per 1000 of population. and Mon- tana. with rate of 14.2 per 1000 of population. showed the highest and lowest rates. respectively. In g out of the oS states, death rates were higher last year than in 1925. The highest death rate is shown for Florida where there were 15.3 deaths per 1000 Of population and the lowest for Montana where the rat, was 7.S deaths per 1000 of populatio
 Infant mortality rates for 1926 were generally higher than those for 1925. as 2l of the 2S states show higher rates in 1926. For states the highest rate appears for Dela- ware and the lowest for Oregon. Out of 4S cities of 100000 popula- tion or more. 27 showed higher in- fant mortality rates last year than in the previous year. The highest rate of 1o7.4 was recorded for Rich mond. Va. and the lowest rate of 3S.7 for Portland, Ore.
