STATEWIDE DRIVE
 FOR HALLOWEEN
Conducted By the County Farm Bureau Against
 the Rat Menace
A HEALTH MEASURE

On Halloween = Monday, Oc- tober s1 -- there will be conduct ed throughout the countrysides of Connecticut statewide party for the elimination of a certain unhealthy and unwelcome in- truder, known as the rat. The through the medium of it's month ly bulletin today urges that all citizens join in this drive, inaug- urated by the County Farm Bureau, to rid the state of the rat menace.
 In articles in the current bulle- tin,, Warren U. Scott. director Of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineer ing, and pr eBnjamin C.. Horning. epide miologist of the Bureau or Preventable Diseases, explain the rats every serious menace to pub lie health and describe some of the epidemics of disease which in the past have ben directly traceable to rats. More deaths can. be indi- rectIy traced to the rat than to all of the other vertebrate enemies of man combined.
 The Bubonic Plague Is the most terrible O. the diseases spread by thi mammal. It Is transmitted from rats to other rodents an'i from rats to man by the rat flea. Epidemic ,jaundice is another acute infectious disease. traceable to rats. The germs have been found in ten to forty per cent of wild rats.
 Epidemic typhus fever has re- gently been shown to be transmit. ted by the rat flea. Many food poisoning outbreaks are charge- able to rats. In fact. many types O.. disease may be sread by the rodent due to his filthy, repulsive habits of life.
 There Is only one way to elimi. nate rats and mice and that IS to remove. their food supply. Public dumps, particularly garbage dumps, furnish them an excellent food supply. but even when these are eliminated or protected py traps. poisons and fumigants, the rat still has left q plentiful supply in Warehouses, store basements and the like. These should, there fore, be made rat-proot. Practical Iy. elimination of the rats food supply may not entirely kill off the rodents, but it will serve to re- duce their numbers greatly.
 Many varieties of traps are i'i use, but the rat is wary animal and particular care Is needed in setting them. Poisons of various kinds have been tried. over period of years, but recently the use of a powder made from a perennial plant belonging to the lily family has been so successful that 1t has ,outclassed all other rat .poisors. It is readily obtainablc and does not seriously endanger other ani- male life. Fumigation to rid a building of rats should be under taken only by experts, since It .i3 apt to be dangerous to human life.

Because of the fact that funds secured nearly four years ago, when the last campaign was held are only sufficient to support the work for another month and are nearly exhausted, the Waterbury Council, Inc, of the Boy Scouts of America, find it necessary to con- duct a financial campaign. The last campaign was held in the fall of 1928. Funds were then secured to carry on the activities of the council for 1929. 1880 and 1881.
 The finance committee of the council have administered these funds in such manner as to make 1t possible for them to also continue the scout council activi- ties for the first ten months of 1892 as we'll. but find that addi- tional funds are needed to carry on the work. They have exer- cised every possible means of econ omy, by reducing administrative expenses and have curtailed gen. eral activities in such a manner

 The officials of the council feel that the work of the Boy Scouts, and its program of activities in the past justify them in making an- other general appeal to the pub lie for such funds as will enable them to carry on this very im- portant program of character building and citizenship training for boys of this community dur ing the year 1883.
 Hundreds of boys in Waterbury and surrounding communitiesj are being benefited by the privileges of the, program and activities of the Boy Scouts, and the officials feel that in the interest of the boys they should make every eff fort so that these boys may con- tinue to have the opportunities of scouting.
 The campaign will be conducted from Monday, Nov 2Sth: to Mon- day. Dec 5th.
 John M. Burrall will serve as chairman of the citizens commit tee.

Shooting Stars to
Appear August II

New York, Aug. 5.-lP;-The
best opportunity in several years
to see brilliant shooting stars
comes Thursday night, August
II, after midnight.
The annual shower of Perseid
meteors is due that night. with
possibilities that it may strike the
night before or after. Expecta-
tons of bigger show this year
are not based on more meteors
but on less interference by MOON
light. The moon will set about
midnight August IL.
In dark sky even these tiny
bits of mineral flash like rockets.
The meteors will come out of
the northeast, from the constSla-
ton Perseus. BY dawn this point
will be almost overhead.
The public is asked to aid as
tronomers in studying the Per-
seidS. DR.. Charles P. Oliver, di-
rector of the Flower Astronomical
Observatory of the University of
Pennsylvania, Upper Derby, Pa,
requests that counts be mailed to
him of the hourly or half-hourly
numbers of meteors seen on any
OF the three nights. Each count
should be by one person only,
rather than by two or more OBJ
servers.

While profit-taking checked the

Road Department
To Award Record
Amount of Work

The state highway commission did
not think that 80 hour a week would
be practicable in this state but pre-
ferred a maximum of 48 hours per
week.
although the matter was taken up
with Thomas B. Mcdonald, chief of
the bureau of public roads in Wash
ington, the commission was informed
that no departure from the 30-hour
week would be permitted until such
time as it had been proved impracti-
CABLE" McKinnon reported.
1.-THE fact that all highway prof.
ects upon which emergency funds are
to be expended must be completed
prior to July !, 1888, will work a
hardship on all northern states where
the construction season is necessarily
shortened because of weather condi-
tionS," said Mckinnon. ut requires
one to two months to prepare plans
and submit them to the bureau of
public roads for their approval, an
other month to advertise for bids and
this means that very little if any
work can be done on the projects this
year.
Can Start in April
april Is is the earliest that we
can expect construction work to be-
gin in North Dakota, thus most of
the projects will have to be completed
within two months and half. It is,
therefore, necessary for the North
Dakota highway department to con-
centrate upon gravel surfacing and
oil mix projects as well as the smaller
bridge projects.
Although the emergency appropria-
ton became available just two weeks
ago, the state highway department
Is now advertising for bids for a total
Of 277 miles of gravel surfacing, 1874
miles OF oil mix surfacing, 80 miles
OF grading, and a large number of
small bridges, the total estimated
cost Of which will be $4,000" Nc
Kinnon stated.
Bids also will be received on other
projects in September, which Gil as
sure the absorption Of thesstate's en-
tire allotment OF emergency funds, .
McKinnon said. Approximately
2,700 men are employed by contrac-
tors on the various highway projects
now and this number will be tripled
as the result Of the federal aid act.
THE act also provides the contrac-
tor shall employ labor as far as avail
able from lists furnished by various
county employment comm lite s.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-(P)-Buoyant as a
result of eager purchasing. largely on
the part of the general public, wheat
mounted Friday to the highest prices
reached this week.
The rise was in spite of heavy SELL

In a general buying rush. wheat
went up quickly 2 cents a bushel be-

notice was taken of a story that a
$4,000, 900 pool was being organized
to advance wheat prices. One of the
most successfully national known
spectators was reputcd to be at the
head of the pool. Other versions had
an altogether different but almost
equally conspicuous operator as in
charge.
Meanwhile, unusual buying force
developed in the corn pit and some
of the purchase orders were traced
to sources affiliated with a third
somewhat celebrated Spectator.
Suggestions were heard that much
of the purchasing of corn. especially
September delivery, was for traders
who recently had been large sellers.
Oats borrowed firmness from corn
and wheat.

Grim Quiet Rules After Stormy
Night; Plans to Evacuate
Men Speeded

Johnstown, Pa, August 4.-(P)-
Confusion gripped the suburban
camp of the Bonus Expeditionary
Force again Friday, as its leaders and
city officials hurried the tattered
army from the city,
Quiet-a grim sullen quiet-ruled
the camp after minor disturbances
Thursday.
Liquor was struggled into the field
Thursday night. There was some
wrangling and few fist fights but
officers quickly put down the trouble
and frightened precautionary meas
ures. They said persons not men,
bers of the B. E. F.. started the argu-
mentS.
News that the California contin-
gent. first to leave by special trains
after the evacuation order, had been
halted in Chicago without definite
promise of going on, reached the
camp Thursday night and added to
the confusion as veterans demanded
assurance they would not meet a
similar fate.
Mayor Eddie McCloskey announced
the last train would leave with east
ern contingents about noon Friday.
Highway trucks will carry the re-
mainder, mostly eastern Pennsylvan-
ians, to their home towns.
Camp officials said less than 900

Closkey said they will be moved if
possible before nightfall.
Priest Ia Heckled
The Rev. James r. Cox, militant
Pittsburgh priest who was cheered by
bonus eXpeditionary forces when he
recently advised them in Washington
to stick till you get what you want"
was heckled when he sought to adj
dress veterans in Camp McCloskey
early Friday morning.
Arriving in Johnstown at 3 a. M,
eastern standard time, Father Cox and
his aides routed out about 400 vets
He mounted a truck and urged them
to fight their battles at the pools and
was cheered.
But when he suggested consolida-
ton Of the Khaki hirts," semi
military political organization of the
B. E. F., with his own Blue Shirts"
of the jobclss-liberal party, he was
shouted down. Cries of I'VE want
Waters" drowned him out.
Veterans shouted that their COM
mander, w. w. Waters, had told them
to go home and join no new organi-
cations.
Father Cox suggested he be made
commander of the combined Khaki
Shirt-Blue Shirt" forces and that the
B. E. F. name vice presidential
nominee to run with him on the job
less-liberal party ticket.
Waters is our commander TIT
veterans shouted.
The priest was not allowed to con-
tinue. He left Immediately for Pitts
burgh. He led an army of jobless on
march to Washington early this
year and will have charge of the trek
of thousands of unemployed to st.
Louis for the national convention of
the jobless-liberal party August 10.
He is the presidential candidate of
the group.
