STATE "WET" BUT
 CONTRIBUTES TO ANTS
Gives Third Largest Amount in New
 England to League

Despite its wetness, Connecticut ranks as the twenty largest contributor Co the Anti-Saloon League in the nation. according to figures filed with the Senate lobby commit tee by the League.
 In 1929. Connecticut contributed s12.s17 Co the League fighting to re- tain national prohibition. This sum may seem small, but when it is re- membered that the State ranks only twenty-ninth of the forty-eight in population but twenty-second in con tributions to the League it becomes evident that Connecticut Is doing more than her share towards keeping alive the Anti-Salon League of America.
 Contributions from New England Co the League last year totaled S79,- 991. Connecticut ranking third of the six states in the amount of financial aid given the organization. Mas saehusetts came first with eontribu- tions totaling s36,S41, Maine second with Sl3,i6f. Connecticut third. Yer mont fourth with SS.650.

Need for Mental as We'll as Physical
 Treatment

A conference on Mental Hygiene was held in the community room at the Putnam Savings Bank at 1 p. m, June 4th, 1880, and thirty persons were present. Howard Bradford, States Attorney, presided at the meeting. The speaker of the after noon was Dr. James L. Mccartney, chief of the Division of Mental Hy- giene. State Department of Health.
 Dr. Mccartney pointed out that of the 2,400.000 students now attending schools in the United States. accord ing to statistics, at least 100000 of these will eventually end in a mental institution, unless Mental Hygiene Is applied. Fortunately mental illness m most cases can be prevented, and the large majority of the nervous con- ditions SO commonly found in the gen eral populace can also be prevented. The object of Mental Hygiene Is to make people more happy and efficient individuals and the State Division of Mental Hygiene Is cooperating with the various agencies throughout the state, especially with the physicians and schools to put into practice the fundamentals of mental hygiene. Many of these ills are really an out come of fear and misunderstanding and when these conflicts are cleared up, the person is cured of his or her illness.
