LEGAL FIGHT SEEN
 IN M'COOK ACTION
Assembly Called for August G.
 Majors Offer Refused
WHOLE TRACT NECESSARY
Owner of Land Wanted for Sanitar- ium Likely to Be Defendant in Condemnation Proceedings-Stat Emergency Recognized.
Emergency Recognize

Hartford, July % tP-Prospects of settling the McCook controversy without condemnation proceedings by the state to acquire more land for the Seaside Tuberculosis Sanitar- ium seemed slight as machinery was set in motion today for the special session of the general assembly call ed by Governor Trumbull on Satur- day.
 An opening was given to the state tuberculosis commission today b. Major Anson T. McCook for the set tlement of the dispute without ac- ton, but the commission abruptly closed it. Major McCook expressed willingness to renew his offer Of 60 foot strip of land on the McCook estate in East Lyme for the exten- sion of the sanitarium, and when his attitude was made known b members of the tuberculosis con- mission at their regular meeting Tn the state capitol this morning the offer was quickly rejected.
 No Use to Commission
 Ut will not be of the slightest use to us" pr. Stephen G. Maher of New Haven, chairman of the commission, said.
 In 1923. when the controversy be- gan the McCook estate offered 10 strip to the state without charge oyt ,Dt 1I be made 10 acquire more land on the property. The commission accepted the gift, but soon afterwards plans were changed and condemnation proceedings were started with legis- lative sanction in 1925. Major Nc Cook was asked today if his original offer still stood and his reply was m the affirmative. Other than that he refused to make statement on future plans of his counsel, Hugh Nj. Alcorn and Charles w. Gross.
 Whole Tract Necessary
 Edward F. Hall. commissioner of finance, also notified of Mr. Me Cooks statement, said he could not speak for the tuberculosis commits sion but personally he was satisfied that the entire tract covered by the condemnation act was absolutely ne cessary for the enlargement and inn provement of the sanItarium.
 He declared he was not expressing the attitude of the commission and probably would not confer with the commission on the matter until Ar thur Reed kimball of Waterbury, a

Textile Workers Walk Out This Morning as Protest Against
 12 1-2 Per Cent Decrease
MINISTER OF LABOR SAYS
 EMPLOYERS ARE TO BLAME
Action Automatic As Aftermath of Vote Taken By Group-Contro- yersry Over Wages Follows De- pression in Industry and Notice of Cut Posted Three Weeks Ago by Lancashire Owners.

Manchester, Eng, July 29 Pl-A half million cotton trade workers struck this morning, when employers refused to recede from their inten- tion of cutting wages 12 1-2 per cent. Mills to the number of 1900 were closed down.
 The strike was automatic, having been decided upon Saturday. Last minute efforts to avert it Saturday and Sunday failed It affected almost the entire Lancashire cotton industry with the exception of a few plants outside the employers federation which were still operating.
 Follows Depression
 It was the outworth of continued depression in tn textile trade which three weeks ago led to an announce ment by employers that a 12h per cent reduction in wages would be made effective Saturday. The work ers' unions refused to accept the re- ion and ordered the strike when efforts at negotiation their differ eEces were reduffed by the employ CTS.
 Nearly every city and town in Lancashire was affected by the strike which was expected to cause a loss in wages of about f1,000000 (about s5,000,oo0) weekly. All mills were open as usual today for the workers, but the unions were staunch Tn their defiance of the corner.
 Few Pay Old Wages
 Mills remaining on working were those whose owners are not mem bers of the Masters Federation. They announced yesterday they could continue paying the old wage tenn porarily. They employed only few thousands, however, out of Lancas- hires half million workers.
 The Lancashire wage scales are based on piece work with complica:- ed lists The employers demanded the workers accept a reduction of two shillings and six pence on the pound, or about 12k cents on the dollar
 There was some feeling some sort of government action still could save the day and prevent the misery and ably follows British trade disputes

Chick Has Three Legs, Three Wings,
 With One Foot Webbed Like Duck s

Believe it or not there is three legged, three-winged chicken in this city and it is as healthy as any born with only two legs and wings. The chicken belongs to William Vignean of IS Sexton street.
 When it came into the world it was among a brood of 10 chicks and it was the only freak in the group. Its birthplace was in New Hamp- shire. George Vignean who owns large chicken farm gave his broth CT, William, of this city the freak chicken while the latter was visit ing with him. Its new home is in

the back yard of the Sexton street home and it is the object of con- siderable curiousity among the old and young in the neighborhood.
 The right leg is normal, but the left leg has the third leg growing out from the upper part. The third leg is not used for walking. The left foot is webbed in duck fashion. The left wing is also supporting the new wing At present the chicken is able to walk well despite its handicap but there is some speculation as to how 1t will perambulate when it has reached it's full growth.

 Auburn, N. Y, July 29 P+Where yesterday stood an array of shops in W hch the convicts of Auburn State Prison labored in the expiration of their crimes, today lay heaps of smoldering embers, thrust through at intervals by fire blackened walls.
 Sullen Men In Cells
 In the hearts of a half hundred convicts, who yesterday led 1,761 inmates of the prison in a revolt and desperate break for freedom, to- day smoldered the embers of foiled hopes and bitter hatred-crushed hopes of freedom and hatred for the handful of guards who stood be- tween them and their liberty in that first fierce rush for the prison gates.
 Throughout the night flood lights, wired from an emergency plant on the prison lawn, threw a white glare upon the smoking ruins of the pris- on shops, fired by the convicts when (llclE itleIh Oll tut SdiNo Nao ioiiSu' The loss of the shops was estimated by Warden Edgar s. Jennings at close to S500,000.
 Prison guards, tense and still ex- pectant of further trouble, went their way about the grounds, while others searched for three machine guns which had disappeared during the riot, after being stolen from the prison arsenal by the convicts.

have appeared at other openings of the body. The scientific name for cold sores is herpes simplex, which distinguishes these from the kind of blisters that are known as shingles. Scientifically. shingles are known as herpes xos- ter. Herpes simplex are also called fever sores.
 It is quite generally understood that shingles appear along the course of sensory nerves and that there is for them a nervous basis. although infections may be the stimulating factor to the nerves.
 Fever sores. cold sores. or fever blisters usually begin with . sensation of itching. followed by the development of small blisters which eventually dry up forming thin crusts. The crusts fall off and disappear in from 10 10 If days.
 The cause Of fever sores is un- known, Some insist that there is a bacterial basis, others postulate a nervous origin and the public are likely to insist that indiges- tion, exposure to sunlight. colds. pneumonia and osculation-that's 8 kissing-are the real basis. The fact that fever sores appear
 in about 40 per cent of cases of pneumonia is possible indication of some infectious origin. There is superstition among physicians that when fever sores appear in pneumonia. this is to be consid cred a favorable sign.
 When confronted with such a condition as multiple cold sore, the attempts at treatment consti. ute two varieties: l. getting the body into the best possible hy. gienic state generally; 2, attempting | in some manner to relieve the local disturbance. For the latter purpose almost everyone has his favorite 1 remedy. The camphor stick, witch hazel, alcohol, cologne water with alum. and numerous other skin | remedies have been tried with vary. !, ing degrees of success.
 Scientific statistics are not | available as to the exact num- Der of instances in which fever l b!isters have occurred with and | without preceding osculation. The | latter performance is so wide. | spread and so varied in it's technic | that the accumulation of scientific data would seem to be well nigh impossible.

HAMMERS AND NAILS By Alice Judlon Peale

A hammer is no gentle toy. In fact at first glance it scarcely seems a toy at all. Yet hammers appeal to the little child for several req sons. They are bona fide tools which even the Olympian adult finds nec- essary. They are made so that little hands can grasp them readily.
 They suggest large swinging move ;nents which the child enjoys. They make a great deal of noise. The pro- cess of actually hammering nails into & block of wood challenges him by its initial difficulty and thrills him with the sense of power that comes with achievement
 But hammers certainly are dan gerous. A destructive child who has been given hammer will light out in all directions, regardless of who or what is in the way. Even if he is only awkward he can hurt himself and inflict a good deal of damage. Are hammers then good sort Of toy to put into the hands of c child of three or under? They are. They merely require our careful super vision in the early stages of their use. The destructive child needs 10 learn that whenever he uses hts ha mmer for other than legitimate purposes it is at once taken away. After a few repetitions this lesson sinks in.
 The awkward baby needs to be given plenty of room in which to make his first efforts. At first he l can use his hammer either to crush pebbles in the yard or to pound broad headed nails into blocks oi
 wood. When he first attempts to
 pound nail, we should set it for
 him with it's point just through the
 wood. No matter how clumsi!y he
 yields his tool we must refrain from showing him how to hold and
 swing it. It is better for him to dis cover these things for himself Soon he will be able to set his own nails and will drive away Justify and with surprising skill.
 He should not be left alone with his hammer until we are sure he
 has acquired enough control 50 tha,
 he will not seriously injure himself
