COMMUNITY HEALTH
 IMPROVES IN MAY
Fewer Acutely II, Visiting
 Nurses Reports Show

The regular monthly meeting ot the board of directors of the Visit. Ing Nurse association was held Tuesday at 52 Center street. Mrs Rufus N Hemenway, president Of the board presided, and the reports Of the various committees were heard
 Field nurses or duty during the month of May made 3.159 visits agalnst 2.920 made in May 1929. while 357 new patients were ad- m!tted against BIO dur!ng the same month last year.
 Many new patients were reported 10 De seeking the services Of the visiting nurses early in pregnancy ana n consequence many more visits IT their behalf were made durlns the past month than at any time ln the history Of the associa- ton, | total of 216 prenatal visits p.ere made against 130 in May. 1922
 That New Britain people were less acutely Ill during May than 1n AprIl was shown in the fewer num- Der of visits which the nurses found It necessary to make to patients suf- -efing from acute medical ard con- municable diseases. Those visits de- creased by about 100 ID comparison with April.
 Attendance in the homes of na- ticnts during confinement was less ln May thls year than during May Of 1929, only F babies havlng been assisted into the world by the visiting nurses during May as com pared with 17 in May. 1923
 After care to mothers and new born babies however, increased in extent by about so visits over last month
 4 recent three months study of the clty's industries revealed that 43 per cent of 1.o72 patients dismissed during the period of the study had direct connection with 22 ot the principal industries, while 45 per cent of all visits made were to the same group. and 4 per cent Of all free visits were made in families where the wage earner was so en- pIoyed
 Another study which has been made recently was one to deter mine the exact cost Of each visit made by the nurse 4 similar study has been made on two previous oc- caslons. and each time 1t has been lowered over the previous year. The charge to those patients who can pay is now at the cost rate and when met in full. it is as con- pletely paid for as when 3. full time nurse is paid her daily rate.

OCCASIONAL firing on planes and inten-
sive patrol work were all that marked the
campaign until . plane manned by Lieut.. Earl
A. Thomas and Sergt Frank Z. Dowdell crashed
near Quilah on October 9. The two aviators
were uninjured In the crash, but apparently
were killed later by the guerrillas. The Marines
say they crashed and that details of their
deaths are unknown, but another account was
given BY Sandinos men to Gen. Rafael de
Nogales, q soldier Of fortune and writer who
reports Is follows:
Thomas and his pilot were flying very low,
accommodating the countryside together with
another plane. The machine was struck by
two bullets, whereupon 1t let out streak Of
black smoke, turned summerset and crashed
into the brush. When Capt. DE Paroles and
his escort Of so men reached the plane they
found it empty. After awhile they ran across
the body Of q dying Indian. Thomas and his
pilot had capturned him. They had tied his
hands on his back and forced him TO guide
them. And when he had tried to escape they
had shot him down. Paroles tracked the flyers
to the shores of the Rio Jicaro. He saw them
wading the river-about midsteam--but out of
rife range. WhereupOn one Of Paroles sol
diers, a boy Of II, jumped into the swift cur
rent and, submerging himself while passing the
flyers, chopped the pilots right arm almost

THE crash, however, led to one of the most
thrilling encounters of the Nicaraguan
campaign when Lieut.. G. J. O'Shea next day
led an expedition consisting of DR.. J. B. ONeill,

Anbushed by about 200 Nicaraguans ahead,

the patrol CALAMITY fought its way out with
the less Of four Guardia killed.
O'Shea took only eight Marines because he
found that others were not available to stand
the trip. He had been advised by other avia-
tors that Thomas and Dowdell were down
about three miles northwest of Quilah His best
saddle animals we're route to Ocotal with q
patrol but he borrowed four horses and a mule.
and with three days rations left about noon
and marched 10 miles to point about seven
miles from Quilah, where the expedition en-
camped for the night. He told his men that
they probably would have to fight to get to
the plane, but he expected to reach it before
any considerable number Of the enemy could
assemble. Haste was important for the aVia-
tors obviously were in grave danger.
"At GAS am. Sunday, October. proceeded
toward Quilali and at am. reached point
three miles northwest Of Quilah" says O'Shea's
report as found in the files Of the Navy De-
partment. Gould obtain no information of
plane from inhabitants and therefore halted
and waited for the planes to arrive
when planes arrived they indicated for me
the area where wreck was located. 1t was
about three miles northwest Of us in a direct
line, but in order to reach it we had to make
q long circuit, marching back about three and
one-hah miles and then following along a
ridge Of difficult mountains. It took three and
one-hah hours marching to reach the place
and meanwhile the planes had to leave short
of gas.
THE mountain on which the plane crashed
is called Sapotillal. Before starting up the
hill / halted the patrol and gave hill a close
scrutiny No movement or anything suspicious
could be noted The trail wound around the
side of the hill with hill rising steeply to our
left, and we were about 100 yards up when the
advance guard was fired upon from the trail
ahead. Halted. took the best cover available
and returned the fire.
THE hill was occupied by about 200 bandits
who seemed TO be well armed and had plenty
of ammunition.
1T was my intention to go forward and take
the hill, when we began to receive heavy fire
from hill to our right and rear about 100
yards away. About 10 dynamite bombs were
thrown close to us at this time from above.

would be completely cut on and that our am

that manner. One horse with rations, one

Proceeded about 200 yards and encountered

country. Our guide had left during the fight
and had lost my compass.
"At 5:45, having fought two and one-half
