There have been a number of garden parties there this summer, under the trees of tha yincennes forest, but the punch was unspiked fruit juices.
 This Is just another bit or An erican soil and the prohibition amendment to our constitution ap- piles here just as much as It does in the state at home; our parties will certainly not be wet and our punches will be above reproach'' Slcmp said. -
 for a ruling, but pointed out to-day that the embassy. which IS also considered as American soil. is "wet" and that cocktails and wines are served at embassy functions.
 Most of the buildings at the ex- position and all of the restaurants are "wet" and at all the official functions champagne corks pop and native liquors provide enthus- iastic atmosphere. For visitors to the expedition there are 27 cock- tail bars and two beer gardens, one of which is adjoining the Ameri- can building.

 Culture Also Appeals to Summer Visitor

terborough, New Hampshire, spon- sored by the widow of the famous American composer, has been at- tracting musicians for years. The 50 members of this years colony were chosen from among 400 ap- p1icants. Every season the Mac Dowell Club of Boston gives a con- cert at Peterborough, which is also 8 center for artists, writers. and dancers.
 The Increasing number of sum- mer theaters add interest and charm to New England's vacation resorts. The movement cannot be called now; since the Lakewood theater in Maine has now been managed for thirty seasons by Herbert l.. Sweet, but many of the summer companies have es- tablished themselves in the last five years. Some of the com- panies are experimental in inten- ton, while others produce only well-known plays. The Surry Playhouse, Maine. hopes to build h permanent cotnpany. and foster a permanent audience.' The Berk- shire Playhouse at sStockbridge' the Cape Playhouse, Dennis. Cape Cod, the University Players, West Falmouth, and the Wharf Players at Provincetown are experimental in character, and while advancing the cause of American theatrical art, furnish excellent entertain ment for visitors to two of Masso- chusetts' principal vacation areas
 Perhaps because fo its proxlm- ity to New York. Connecticut IS especially crowded with summer theaters, among them the Man New York Repertory Company, Westport, and the sharon Play, house, where ten new plays VIII be produced this summer. Tne Jitney Players have located their automo bile-theatre at Madison' Connecticut, at present.
 Schools and workshops of drama are operated by the Manhattan Theatre, the Berkshire Playhouse. the Wharf Players. and the surry Playhouse.

GAYLORD FARM
 SHOWS BALANCE
Past Year Successful One Despite Fall in Con-
 tributiOns
I4O PATIENTS LISTED

The annual report of the Gay lord Farm senatofium of Walling- ford for the past year was made public to-day, showing that despite trying times the association came through in very good shape, all bills being paid and a balance of $420.2U being on hand ip the bank.
 Income from general contribu- tors dropped during the past year, due possibly to the depression. the report shows. The past years in- come from contributors was $26,- 500 as compared with $28,200 for the preceding year. Many of the contributors who reduced their gifts or did not renew took the trouble to write and say that they hope to give more another year, however.
 Pneumothorax cases have in- creased now to a point where the hospital is averaging from 10 to Is per day, as against that many a month ten years ago. In spite or this, the per capita expense has been reduced from $26.O4 to S25.61, the report shows. There are now 140 patients at the farm.
 In listing the various legacies IfOm WHICH LHo bhHaloiAAu uO- rives an income, the bequest of the late Edith Kingsbury of this city is mentioned. She willed the farm 31OO annually.
 Plans are now under considera- ton for the installation of sound equipment in the recreation hall of the sanatorium, the report states. the cost to be between $3,000 and 5000. During the past year 91 complete households of patients coming into Gaylord were exam ined, representing approximately 400 individuals.
 All these persons were given x- rays, tuberculin tests and physical examinations. It was found that only a little over per cent of the examinations show definite pull monary tuberculosis. It also found that 56 per cent of the sus- pected contact cases perfectly well. About 35 per cent who are classi- fled as borderline or suspect cases will be kept under observation for several years to come.

RENO CITIZENS
 THROW ASIDE
 CASTE SYSTEM
Democracy Rules City of Divorce Seekers in
 Nevada

Reno, Nev, (UP)--Along with easy divorce laws. wide-open gambling and well ventilated liquor dispensaries, Reno has taken another step toward mod ern -mindedness by abolishing the "caste" system in her society.
 Naturally, there are cliques, but there is no class distinction either within the groups themselves, or between them. Here debutantes dance with shoe clerks, dowagers with glgolos and staid attorneys with flip young clients.
 Reno is the most democratic, cosmopolitan place on earth" said ex-Judge Bartlett, helmsman of the Reno free-thinkers, "be- cause our divorce colony Is com- posed of broadminded people who have come here purposely to get away from intolerance and worn- out bonds.
 Having the strength of char acter to break away from the mar row rules and laws of their homes, 1t would be absurd to im- agine them arriving here and re- verting to small town clique ideas and such stuffiness in their every day life in the colony"
 Just Called "Judgcy"
 Judge Bartlett, known as "Judgey" by the divorcees. is in an excellent position to report on the doings of both the freedom seekers and the native Renoites, for his home has for many years been the rendezvous for them all.
 "Judgey" entertains continually and says that neither religion, wealth, social position nor politics has any influence on his invita- ton sending.
 Newly arrived Belle Livingston seems destined to aid in the gen. eral "welding" idea here. For everyone will meet at Belle's. drink at Belle's and tell Belle their troubles. (This confiding habit is a favorite Reno indoor In fact, 1t appears that La Belle Livingston will become the "com- mon denominator" of the divorce colony.
 Good Omcns for Ia Belle
 From all the omens so far, her place is in line for becoming the town meeting hall. And if Belle infuses her own informality into her night club it will probably mean the final blow to snobbish- ness in Reno.
 That is the spirit in Reno. But there is some cause for specula- ton as to whether the divorceea will carry their Reno democracy with them when they leave. There is a faint possibility that once safely back home, with their mari tai troubles cured and no further need of Reno--at least for time --the divorcees may fall comfort ably back into their routine. There is just a small chance that when tho shoe clerk calls on the debutante he may not be so enthusiastically received as he was in Reno. He may turn out to be "just someone I knew in Reno"
 But whether there will be any lasting effects of the Reno fra ternaf sentiments or not - the divorccc at least has a little fling at democracy and social tolerance while serving the six weeks course in modern mindedness in the di- vorve town.

With incidence tables covering the history of poliomyelitis or in- fantile paralysis over a period of % years showing that 73.3 percent uf all of the cases of this disease in Connecticut come in the months of August, September and october, the Connecticut state department of Health Is taking every available
 means within It's reach to prevent the present outbreak from reach ing epidemic proportions.
 It is the opinion of the depart fnent's physicians that the current outbreak can be limited despite the fact that the coming three months are the most dangerous of the year with respect to this particular in- lection. One encouraging sign IS that in the year of the worst cpl demic, that of 1916, there were 16b cases reported in the month Of July. while this year the total cases reported as infantile paralysis were forty seven.
 s.In all of the emergency lltera- fore. emphatic stress is laid on the necessity of keeping children away from crowds and of discouraging visitors at chlidren's institutions and camps. The reason for this is tf1at poliomyelitis is also spread by Carriers, children or adult persons who are immune to the disease

SIAM ROYALTY
 AT BANFF FETE

Banff, Alta.-Siam and Scotland will shortly be linked in spirit when the king and queen of Siam, appearing incognito as Prince and Princess Sukhodaya, formally open the fifth annual Highland Gather. ing and Scottish Musical Festival at Banff, in the Canadian Rockies. staged, as before under the pa tronage of the Prince of Wales, the festival, which will last from August 27 through August 30, has won the interest and support O: King Prajadhpok because of his lifelong devotion to the study and performance of ancient Siamese music. The king will be welcomed by two lieutenant governors, pr William Egbert, of Alberta, and Robert Randolph Bruce, of British Columbia, the latter a descendant of Scottish kings.
 In the Canadian west, where nine out of every ten are of Scot tish birth or descent, the waggle of the kilt, the skirl of the pipe and the burr of the speech have persisted since 1792, when that rugged Scot Sir Alexander Mac kenzie first crossed the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific coast and started the fur trade. Scottish pioneers followed Mackenzie. cleared the land and helped in the upbuilding of the Canadian Pa cific Railway, which this year has celebrated It's b0th birthday.

Wall Street. N. r., August = Conflicting tendencies, working for the most part on the side of de. precision, have been in operation in the market during the past week - the most conspicuous factor be- ing the cut in the Steel dividend which naturally focused attention on the unsatisfactory condition of the Steel industry. There have. however, been no new develop ments of an unfavorable nature with respect to the business situa-- ton, for such apparently untoward changes as have been detected are those which had already been fore- shadowed, and were recognized by those in a position to judge. Pub- lie interest which had been so largely concentrated upon foreign conditions, has necessarily been shifted back to domestic business and its prospects which will, from this time forward, probably be the controlling elements in price, making. The indications of the business outlook are certainly not uniformly rosy; but on the other hand, there is abundance of en-
