 PLACE TO FILL

Denver, Colo, Sept 15-UP)- Three men were mentioned prom inently today for the office of pre- siding bishop of the Episcopal church of the United States. Rt Rev James de Wolf Perry, D.

PUTNAM STRIKE
 BELIEVED LOST
 TO THE WORKERS
They Haven't Gained a Thing and May Vote To- night to End It

Putnam, Conn, Sept 15.-(UP)-- The Putnam textile strike appeared likely to-day to end within few days without the workers gaining any of the ebjectives hoped for when they walked out more than two months ago. The $50 who struck from the M. Salzberg and Sons mill will vote tonight on whether they will return to work tomorrow morning. Strike lead CTS expect an affirmative decision. Representatives of the 500 striking from the Edward Bloom company have asked the owners to reopen negotiations.
 Both companies have refused to make concessions from their pre- vious stand and both have express ed willingness to take the strikers back under the previous wage and working conditions if they will re- nounce the assistance of the Com munist National Textile Workers union. The Salzberg strikers have already agreed to these conditions but asked the Company to dis charge strike breakers. The conn pany was reported to have agreed to this demand.

Paralysis Waning,
 State Believes
Forty Per Cent Drop in Cases Past Week Gives Con-
 fdence to Health Chiefs

In view of this prospect, it is ex- pected that the respirators al- ready provided for in Connecticut, about twenty in all, will be suffi- cient to meet requirements and that hospital facilities now avail able will adequately care for all cases requiring disqualification. A word of commendation is due hos pital authorities for the fine spirit in which they have met the pres ent emergency, the department of health states. Municipal hospitals specially equipped for contagious cases have made their facilities available for people from other towns and general hospitals have taken a step forward in the serv- ice of humanity throwing their doors open to contagious cases.

Reports made to the state de- pertinent of health on new cases of poliomyelitis or infantile paral- ysis for the week ending Septem- Der 12 show a marked decline in number for the first time since the week ending July 25 and as com pared with the previous statistical curves of the disease give indica- tion that the 1881 outbreak in Con- necticut will probably dwindle in coming weeks.
 For the week ending September 12 the department received reports of ninety-six cases of poliomeylitis as against 1853 for the preceding week. For seven successive weeks, the weekly totals increased and this is the first drop in a weekly total since the rise began with the reporting of thirteen cases for the week ending July 25.
 Last weeks drop in the number of cases was So great in compari- son with the previous week that a slight rise is not impossible in some future weeks, but the department believes that the trend from now on will be generally downward.
 The reports on new cases re- ceived each week since the out break started are as follows:
 Week ending July 25. 1S; August 1. 36; August 8, 6S: August 15, S7; August 22, 110; August 2s, 12S; September 5, 155; and September 12, 96. Nineteen cases were re- ported yesterday morning. bring ing the total for September to 253 and the total for the year to 722 cases.
 A study of the foregoing will show that seven weeks were re- quired for the present outbreak of poliomyelitis in Connecticut to at- tain the height reached during the first week in September. The course of past outbreaks would appear to justify the expectation that the curve of incidence will decline in like manner as 1t has risen and that the number of cases reported will continue to drop during the next few weeks.

BELL TOLLS FOR

It's goodbye to the straw skinner to-day! Fashion de- crees that this type of headgear be removed and felts or the derby be substituted on the fif- teenth of September.
 However, the straw hat was worn to-day by all those who have been in the habit of wear ing them and the temperature was certainly very appropriate the mercury hitting high spot for this time of the year.
 This will be a great day for the elephants in the New York ZOO. They will have an ample repast on the discarded straw lid.

POETRY CONTEST NOT DEAD.

! POETRY CONTEST NOT DEAD.
Alex Smith accuses the poetry con-
test of vanishing into thin air, like
the Mountain on foggy day, but he's
mistaken Last week some last minute
advertising played havoc with our
| plans, and we make II q point never I'd
turn down any advertising; we expert
enced several hectic Interruptions, the
kind one can never learn to make al
lowance for around print shop. Any
way this week we are publishing last
weeks best poem, along with this
weeks.
The final judging OF all of the poems
will be made as soon as we can find
time to type those that were sent in
writer In long hand. The only promise
we will make about the final Judging is
that 1t will be done as early III May
as is humanity possible. Ordinarily in
a contest of this sort one of the re-
quirements is typewriter copy, so we
ask the Island poets who have con-
tributed such clever bits of verse to
take this into consideration, and bear
with us.
For week of April l8:
The Mountain From Our Island.
Far up into the blue
My spirit scars to unknown heights
Before mountain view,
AS on this verdant isle I stand.
Calm, majestic, serene,
Rising high above our troubled world
Making words too mean
To half describe its cold white beauty,
Stands the mountain
An altar lifted up to God
Before all men,
Guiding their eyes heavenward.
When we are bowed with care,
We have but to lift our tired eyes
To see that God is there
Watching over us from out the blue
And what could be more perfect,
AS a setting for such a jewel,
To gain that divine effect,
Than our own green covered islep
-Clyed Evetts.
For week of April IS:
Dawn's Promise.
Eerie, and cold, and gray is the morn,
Filled with the nights damp chill
Over the eastern horizon light
Quivers and then is still
The wildfowl, close to the curving shore
Wakes with protesting cry.
While austere and cold the mountain
stands
Etched on the eastern sky.
Darkness-then up from the hidden
depths
Dawn filings her colors rare.
Colors that sweep DER the mountain
side,
Till it stands out in grandeur there.
Colors that fade as the morning grows,
And vanish like whispered prayers,
But leave in the heart hope new
born
From the ashes of past despairs.
