The eradication of many com | municable diseases by inoculation is urged by Dr. George F. Cook. health officer. in his annual report to the ! board of selectmen. Dr. Cook states that cooperation among the people I of the town in this regard will eliminate these dangerous diseases and asks that the townspeople play their part in making Plainville safe from epidemics. He also makes his annual recommendation that defi- | mite plan for sewage disposal be drawn up before state authorities shame" Plainville into such action. Municipal garbage disposal is an- other step which the health officer advises. His report follows:
 | "The health officer of the town of Plainville has the honor to submit 1 his fourth annual report. in accord ance with the state statutes cover- ing the year ending June 80. 1928.
 "Plainville has had a good year in health in that it has not had any
 severe epidemic of serious disease
 Early recognition of communicable
 disease and reporting same to the
 health officer by the local physicians
 superintendent of schools and staff
 and the district nurse has kept
 disease at minimum. and the,
 should receive considerable credi i for their efforts and cooperation. Tt is common knowledge amonl public health officials that typhoit fever, smallpox. diphthera. scarle fever, and rabies are diseases tha { can be rather easily eliminated witt | intelligent effort and cooperation
 by the people of the community
 Parents need not fear their chil } dren will have diphtheria, scarle ? fever, smallpox and typhoid fever
 they have the children immunize l against these diseases by immuniza { ton treatment.
 ! During the past year the healtl s officer has noted with considerab bl Q interest and qualification two activi S ties which unquestionably will be c great value to the public health c e the town. The appointment of put s lie school nurse by the Plainvill
 school board will be a great help t
 school children in matters of hygien
 and prevention of communicabl
 disease. The annexation of tn ~ Plainville Water company on to tn '. New Britain water supply Wa = equally welcomed by the health ol /, ficer and townspeople.
 n Tt is hoped that this year wi ., bring little more effort and activit :, on the part of citizenship of th :, town to bring about the possibility ( municipal garbage collection and definite plan for sewage disposal. ]
 Plainville is to grow. We can not g 7. along much further without the stat
 sanitary commission shaming us int i. such a procedure.

MOTHER Of WA|F
/ FOUND BY POLICE
Lame, 19-Year-0Id Girl
Held for Abandoning
Her Babe.

A little lame 19-year -old girl is the
mother of the month-old baby boy at
Children's Hospital abandoned Tuesday
to the care of taxicab driver
She is Mrs. Elizabeth Lapointe, wife
OF Everett Lapointe, farmer, who lives
six miles from Upper Marlboro, and her
story came to light when Headquarters
Detective Louis M Wilson arrested her
at her home late Yesterday. Lapointe
is not the father of the infant. she
said. She was married to Laponte
June 16 and the child was born August
81. according to the police version OBJ
tanned at the House of Detention, where
she spent last night. Mrs. Lapointe
told police, they said, that she deserted
her little son because her husband
would no longer allow it in his home
She said that the baby was born in
the. Homeopathic Hospital and that she
and her child lived with her husband
until Monday, when he told her to take
the baby away.
Located Through Friend.
Wilson located the girl through in
formation furnished by an acouaint-
ance of Mrs. Lapointe's who lives in
washington and an accurate deScrip-
ton of her given to police by another
taxlcab driver who saw her entrust the
child to the care of Marvin E. Williams
of 713 D street and instruct him to take
1t in his cab to Sibley Hospital, where
Or. Brown" was to be awaiting it.
Williams found no DIR. Brown and
after journeys to the first precinct sta
ton and the House of Detention the
baby finally ended up in a crib at the
Children's Hospital.
The only mark of identification on
the infant at the time it was deserted
by its mother was an almost illegible
note tied in a blue ribbon around it's
neck from which was suspended a
Scapular. The message said that the
childS name was Edward Brown" and
requested that it be reared a Catholic
and always wear the scapular.
Charge Not Pressed.
A charge of abandonment against
the mother was held in allegiance by
order of Assistant United States At
torney Ralph Given in Police Court to-
day, and Mrs. La Pointe returned to
the House of Detention, where she will
be held until the Child Welfare Board,
to whom police have referred the case,
determine whether it is advisable to
permit the baby to be returned to its
mother
Mrs. Lapointe, according to Given,
wants her baby back. and says she will
return to her home and care for it.

English Treaty Received in
London and Paris.

BY the Associated Press.
The American reply to the French
and English naval agreement, which
has been received by the embassy in
London for delivery to the British for
eign minister, probably will be made
public Saturday morning.
The reply covers considerable space
and it is therefore believed 1t would take
a day before it can be decided and SUBJ
;nitted to the foreign secretary
There are no indications that the
note will present any new ideas on the
naval disarmament question. 1t is gen.
orally held that the American position
will be confined to a discussion of this
country's naval policy, repeatedly out
lined by officials of the Washington
Government, principally by President
Coolidge.
PARIS, September 81 [E9.-The text
of the American reply to the Anglo
French naval agreement has been re-
ceived in Paris by the American en-
bassy and will be handed to the French
foreign office tomorrow.
LONDON, September 81 LP).-The
foreign office yesterday issued state
ment making complete denial of any
agreement regarding aerial matters be-
tween France and Great Britain. Ali
agreements with France regarding air
matters have been published, the for

trary are entirely untrue.

Speedway at In

FLINT, Mich, May 6.-The huge
stands at the indianapolis speedway
will echo in a few days to the STAG
cato roar or racing engines in the
qualifying heats which precede the
annual international speed classic.
Then a few days more, and thousands

Automobile makers interest in the
sweepstakes is little less keen than
the interest Of those who attend
purely for the thrill. For from their
viewpoint the 500-mile grind on
Memorial Day is a laboratory test Of
the most ~portentious kind. A merci-
less trial Of stamina, which only the
fittest can hope to survive-a search

detail OF engineering, design, and
workmanship must pass. Chance en-
tiers into the result very little. Con-

Of immense interest, not only to the
manufacturer but to the motor-buy-
Tx HADAAAs
Few automobile manufacturers have
found in the activities Of the speed
fraternity such cause for gratifica-
ton as the Buick Motor company.
Not only valve-in-head engines,
which have powered every Buick car,
but mechanical four-wheel brakes,
which Buick pioneered, have been
abundantly proved in these relentless
tests. Every important race since
1910, both at Indianapolis and else
where, has been won by a valve-in-
head engine. Both Major Segrave,
and Captain Campbell, who recently
shattered Segrave's world record at
Daytona Beach, with 200 miles an
hour, drove valve-in-head cars.
1t was just one a & that
~Lindbergh, in a valve-in-head engined
plane, electrified the world with his
Paris flight. In the intervening
months, a dozen scarcely less spec
tacular achievements of the air nave
added TO the prestige of valve-in-
head design. All in all, experience
on land, in water and in air, wherever
a capacity to deliver maximum power
FOR sustained periods is required, has
written an indelible testimonial to
this type Of construction.
