Past Victims Of Paralysis
 Fight Pandernic
Crippled Inmates of Newington Home Respond in Gem X erous Fashion to Save Sufferers From Fate
 Similar to Their Own State Board of Health Reports

Since the present outbreak of in fantile paralysis started in the early part of July, ninety ConHee- ticut residents, chiefly between the ages of IS and 25, who were for- mer victims of the disease or who are now convaiescent following att tacks in previous years, have given their blood for the manufacture of the anti-poliomyelitis serum used in the preparalytic stages of the disease, it was announced by the state department of health to-day.
 Tn all, these voluntary donors of blood who are to be counted among the peace-tifne heroes in combat ting a militant, highly dangerous infection have given approximate ly thirty-five quarts of blood, enough for the manufacture of more than 400 injections of serum. Between fifty and 500 cubic centi- meters of blood were taken from each patient depending upon phys- ical condition at the time of the operation.
 Nearly half of the donors of blood were inmates of the Newing- ton Home for Cripple Children where many former victims of po- liomyelitis are housed and treated.

GOVERNOR CROSS APPEARS BEFORE
 LABOR FORCES
Would Like 4 Per Cent Beer, and Has Always Been Friend of Working Man

Bridgeport, Conn. Sept 10. (UP) |-Governer Wilbur L. Cross sym pathizes with labor's demand for 2.75 per cent beer but he would prefer four per cent beer.
 "On e of the most unfortun- ate things national legislation has ever effected has been the prohibit ton amendment" the governor told the 46th annual convention of the Connecticut Federation of Labor late yesterday. No amend rnent to the constitution has ever been repealed--it would require a tremendous effort. think you are wise In centering your attention on the Volstead act.
 T understand you are asking for 2.75 per cent beer" Governor Cross continued. T sympathize with you, but I would prefer four per cent beer"
 The first Connecticut governor ever to address the state labor fed eration, Governor Cross put him. self squarely on record as a friend of organized workers. q am for organized labor" he asserted.
 Governor Cross spoke in favor of old age pensions and added the general assembly failed to pass his measure because those who intro- duced it had no intention of see- ing 1t pass.

These young men and women, like the other donors, mostly from com munities in Fairfield and New Ha- ven ceunties, expressed absolute willingness to lend their blood in order that the victims of the pres ent outbreak might not be forced to undergo the suffering and maim- ing that has been and s now theirs.
 The blood obtained is being util- ized for the treatment of patients in the preparalytic stage of polio- myelitis, since the serum is of prae- tically no use to patients whose att tack has progressed beyond that degree. If actual paralysis has not set in, the serum in most cases is effective in allaying further pro- gress of the infection or at least in alleviating the severity of the en- suing stages, should they develop. It is obtainable by the attending physician upon application to the local health officer and is adminis- tered by representatives of the state department of health only in the presence of the atetnding phys ician. The administrator is by lumbar puncture into the spinal column

BERLIN ORCHESTRA
WILL AID COMPOSERS
Works of Unknown Musicians Will
Be Performed on Basis of
Cooperation.

BERLIN (N.ANA). - The Berlin
Symphony Orchestra has evolved a
scheme for helping struggling and COM
paratively unknown composers over the
coming Winter. The orchestra pro-
poses to perform works of unknown
musicians on the basis Of cooperation
1t will make no charge for rehearsals,
but the composer himself must pay the
cdhcert hall charges-generally a mat
ter Of some $85.
The Berlin Symphony leaders, TO pre-
clude the abuse of the idea by wealthy
amateurs whose works have but little
merit, reserve the right 20 reject any
offering which docs not conform to the
musical standards expected of first
class orchestra.
For sum of little more than 500
4 deserving young man or woman may
awake to find fame, but even'that sum,
it is realized, maybe beyond the means
OF many potential Bach or Beethoven.
The orchestra is therefore starting a
fund out of the proceeds OF ticket sales
to pay the fees of those who appear
worthy of the hearing they are too poor
TO finance.
Muse lovers who were sad at heart
| for the passing OF the famous old Knoll
Theater may cheer up. for Krolls is TO
remain and serve the happy purpose OF
providing the rehearsal department OF
| the Inter Den Linden Opera. Many OF
! the more important concerts OF the
/ Staatsoper Orchestra will, it is thought,
/ also be given at KrolPs.

10000 PIGEONS FIGURE
TEST OF PERSONALITY
Breeders Seek to Determine
Whether Birds Are Lured by
Others Into Their Dovecotes.

NEW YORK (NANA.) - Pigeons
that have "it' are being used as chap
erons hereabouts by local fanciers. The
bird owners officially call it "magne-
tism."
More than 5000 breeders got to-
gether in a field in Queens County, Just
across the East River, and sent up TO-
900 pigeons. They wanted to determine
whether birds that normally might go
home at the proper time would be
lured to~dovecotes by others.
The owners agreed for this occasion
that all pigeons taken home for the
week end by friend would become the
property OF the dovecote owner, but
that If there were a great number OF
missing birds, something would have
to be done about it in the future.

ASKOV SCHOOL NOTES

A very close and exciting basket
ball game was played Friday evening
between the Askov high school team
and the Bruno team. The scores were
for time tied, but the score swung
definitely in favor of Bruno during
the last quarter, when they added
fresh substitutes. The final score was
81 to TO- In the second game of Fri
day evening, the Athletics played the
All-Stars. This game was even more
exciting than the first as they had to
play ten minutes overtime before the
tie score was broken. The game re-
suited to II in favor of the Athletics.
Monday afternoon the Purple and
Gold teams played snappy 80 minute
game. 1t was a short game, but there
was a lot of action. The score was
s to 10 in favor of the Colds. This
game counts 10 points in the final
scoring between the Puppies and
Colds and gave the Colds score quite
a boost so it seems unlikely that they
will give the picnic at the end of the
term; but the tables may be turned
yet!
The first number of the News-Sense
for the second semester was distri-
buted Friday. The paper was bigger
and better than those of the last sem
ester, as the editors had promised,
making the raise in the subscription
price seem very reasonable.
