H. 5. BOY DIES; WAS
 29 CLASS MEMBER
Frank |. Ryder Had Hoped to
 Receive Diploma Tonight

While plans are being made for commencement exercises for the New Britain High school class of 1929, which takes place tonight, fu- neral arrangements are being conn pleted for a boy who was a member of the class and, until illness forced him to retire from studies several months ago, had hoped to receive his diploma tonight.
 Frank L. Ryder, 1T year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Ryder of Atwood street, Newington, died at his home yesterday afternoon, fol- lowing several months illness with heart disease He was a senior at New Britain High school when the condition of his heart made it neces- sary for him to retire from class.
 He is survived by his parents, one sister, Mrs. Iran Parker, and three brothers, Irving, Howard and Ken meth, all of Newington.
 Funeral services will be held to- morrow afternoon from the under- taking parlors of Morrison w. John- son of 149 Albany avenue, Hartford, at o'clock.

and found the following conditions:
 The dog pound consists of small wooden structure about Sx10 feet square. covered with tar paper on the roof and sides. The only venti- lation is through two small windows. It is entirely too small to accom- modate more than six or eight dogs, and there is no provision for heat in the winter or proper ventilation in the summer. The floor is of wood and consequently it is impossible to keep in a sanitary condition. Dogs are chained to side walls permitting them to come in contact with each other with the possibility of spread ing disease. Consequently I cannot herewith approve this building as proper and satisfactory for the pur- pose of dog pound.
 If you will refer to the last para graph in Section 4, Chapter 269 of the Public Acts of 1925, you will read: Each city or town shall pro- vide and maintain for use as a dog pound suitable place which shall be made comfortable for the de- tention of dogs and shall be kept in a sanitary condition. The commits sioner shall from time to time in- spect all such places and shall make such orders in the premises as may be necessary
 Tt does not seem 10 me that it should be necessary at this time to make orders as is provided for by this section but rather to call this to your attention and to request that you bring it to the attention of the mayor and other proper city officials that they may provide, in the near future in New Britain, a suitable and comforta ble place for the de- tention of dogs which can be kept in a sanitary condition.
 Thanking you for the fine spirit and cooperation shown my agent to- day, I am,
 Yours very respectfully.

plosion, that the two-day socket above was on and that current at the switch was operating.
 The outstanding evidence that the bulb caused the trouble is the fact that a residue baked thereon could only be deposited by the fu- sion of the bulb with a film," Mac Laurin says.
 "The supposition is that some- one laid the glowing bulb against the film and the heat generated caused the ignition of the nitro cellulose substance in the film. There is not the slightest possi- bility that steam could have caused the film to ignite.
 Laboratory tests with the light bulb determined the following con- clusions: That the explosion hap pened and was over in ten minutes; that the direct heat generated by a 1OO-watt bulb was more than enough to ignite the film: and that the hydro-cyanic gas resulting from the films ignition was in such a quantity that if evenly distributed throughout the 350,O0O square feet of floor space of the clinic it would be in more than sufficient quantity to kill every one in the building.
