 of Lecture
MONDAY OCTOBER l9

Dr. Charles L. Larkin will be the speaker at the first Monday evening meeting on October 18th at o'clock in Davenport hall, Second Congregational church. Dr. Larkin's subject will be What You Ought to Know About Cam cer."' Cancer mortality in the United States last year was the highest on record and the annual mortality for the nation may be estimated conservatively at 125,000 at an average age of about 59 to 60 years, according to an article by Dr. Frederick L. Hoffman, con- sulting statistician, in the current issue of "The Spectator" an in- surance publication. Cancer, he declares, is either the second or third leading cause of death in American urban life. "The men, ace of cancer" he writes, "is at the present time a more serious problem than ever during the re- corded history of the disease. No two authors on cancer are in entire agreement on the most essential facts of causation. treatment and cure. There is, however, a grow ing belief that cancer should be looked upon as a public health problem and that 1t should be made a notifiable disease"
 The public is cordially invited to this meeting to hear Dr Larkin's views on What You Ought to know About Cancer"

Leaders To Fill
 Committee Vacancy
Successor to Late Mrs Alice Mooney May Be Named
 Shortly

Democratic leaders of Water bury are expected to call a confer ence soon to discuss the matter of filling the vacancy on the state central committee caused some- time ago by the death of Mrs Alice R. Mooney. Up to the present time only one name has been man toned for the post, that of Mrs Henry Hayden, but it is under stood that the party leaders have others under consideration for the post.
 As Mrs Mooney represented the 18th district therefore the one named to succeed her must be from the same district. Further more, the post must go to 8 wo- man.
 Much importance is attached 70 the matter of filling vacancies on the committee this year in view of the fact that 8 chairman has yet to be named by the state cen tral committee to fill the vacancy caused months ago by the retire. ment of Judge P. B. O'Sullivan. That the "old guard" in the state, headed by former National Com mitteeman Thomas J. Spellacy and ex-Mayor David E. Fitzgerald. will make an attempt to have the nam ing of the chairman, is foregone conclusion.
 Not only will an attempt be made by the "old guard" to pick the chairman but demand will also be made that State Labor Com missioner Joseph Tone retire from the office of secretary of the state central committee.
 A few weeks ago former State Chairman James Walsh of Meriden under the Fitzgerald re-

 Course of Lou" from Poutatuck Yacht club. Stratford, to New Ha- ven harbor and return, by Sea Scouts of troop g, and Sea Scout executive Commodore Martus, on October 12, 1881.

 At 10:45 we hoisted the sails with single deef. The boys were en- toying themselves. Sperry light was passed at 11:48, and at bells, noon, we put about and started to return. Our course from Stam- ford to New Haven was FINE. Re- turning. our course was WSW. We passed between the breakwater right after lunch. We furled sails at 1880 and arrived at anchorage at 1855. The course was NV and the glass was high. The weather was fair and visibility good. The sea was rough and white caps could be seen everywhere. We travelled 22 nautical miles or 25 land miles.

CHICKENS START
 RUSH FOR GOLD

Glenwood Springs, Colo.-A sud- den advance in the price of poui- try at Sopris may not be due so much to the fact that poultry Is generally in demand, but that one mans chance Is as good as an- others to find gold in the chick ems gizzard!
 Recently E. H. Grant, who owns the Frying Pan Inn, at Basalt. purchased a number of chickens for his restaurant. When he cleaned the gizzards of the fowls. he noticed hard bits which. upon examination. were discovered to be tiny gold nuggets. A few flakes of gold were imbedded in the fowls gizzards.
 Joe Dosigney, owner of the. poultry ranch on Soporis Creek. forthwith uncovered several gold pans, which had been stored away for many years, and got busy in the region where the chickens had been eating their meals.
 Publication of the finding oS gold nuggets in the chickens craws may lead to a mild gold rush in the Sopris district. Joe de- clares.

Bernard E. Carroll, Jr, the eight-year-old son of MT and Mrs Bernard Carroll of 20 Edwin street was seriously injured yesterday af- tern.on VI an automobile accident on Huntingdon avenue. His name remained on the danger list of the Waterbury hospital today. The little lad suffered fractured skull when an auto delivery truck oper- ated by Asa H. Burr of Highland avenue overturned. Mrs Carroll and a four-year old child she held on her lap and John Casey, IA, of 1904 West Main street escaped in- jury in the mishap. Burr disap- peared shortly after the accident and has yet to be located by the police. Coroner John T. Monzani has taken charge of the case. Your5 Burr faces charges of reck- less driving and evasion of re- sponsibility. The injured boys father is member of the local democratic town committee and secretary-treasurer of the Water bury Title Company.
 Mrs Carroll and her two children were receiving a lift home last evening about 10 o'clock. A short distance from t..- Fairmount bridge Burr apparently lost control of the wheel and the truck striking soft spot in the road overturned.

Detectives John Calvin and Joseph Bender found the damaged truck in it's garage, but were unable last evening or early this morning to located Burr.

INACTION IS ACTION Philip Cabot in the Autumn Yale
 Revicw)

A nation forced, as we are, to choose a course of action should remember that inaction is a form of action which often leads to dis aster, and it should, therefore, seek the advice of men who have been trained in action. In order to avoid the danger of impairing the am- bition and initiative of our people, prompt action is demanded. Our task is to stabilize our economic system so that it will make a suit able foundation on which to build a towering civilization. The foun- dation must be massive. For this work of industrial statesmanship the leaders of our great industries have been educated, and we should now call upon them to prove that their training has not been in vain.
