CROWDS FLOCK TO
 PLAY GROUNDS
Creased Pole, Boxing Bouts and Baseball Are
 Attractions
HIKE TO LAKEWOOD

Shinnying up greased poles, box ing and baseball is occupying the attention of the playground en- thusiasts these days Last night at Washington playground the specta- tors were given plenty of laughs watching the youngsters attempts to climb a greased pole. Robert McNerney finally managed to reach the top but what a sorry sight his clothes were.
 A boxing match between the Washington and Hamilton play grounds will be staged this evening at Hamilton Park on the ball field. In the first meeting between these two teams a "draw" decision re- suited. Last night the entertain CTS who recently performed in the big show at Hamilton Park were guests at the hot dog roast cooked by Bill Cass.
 The Fulton Juniors defeated the Cardinals in a junior baseball league game at Fulton Park yester- day by a 13 to score. For the winners, the battery was N. Platt and Whitright, and for the Car dinaIs. Loughlin. Hayes and Con- molly.
 The Fulton, Waterville and Mill street p1aygrounds will take part in a joint hike to Lakewood on Thursday.

Macdonald Seeks More Conn. Funds
 Under NRA Plan
Questions Advisory Board on Possibility of Securing Public Works" Money in Addition to Highway Money"-Asks If Towns Might Obtain Grants With Regular State Aid Road Alotments

towns whose tax returns are in ex- cess of that amount.
 These state aid allotments are cumulative and when sufficient funds are available for the con- struction of any project the high way department proceeds with the work and bills the town for its proportionate parte of the cost. The statutes further provide, how ever, that a town may finance a state aid project in anticipation of future State Aid allotments, in which case the project is fi-
 nanced entirely by the town and the state refunds to the otwn the
 states proportion of the cosst in
 annual installments as the allot-
 ments become available.
 Commissioner Macdonald and
 MT Hulse believe that any town
 may receive MIRA funds for the
 construction, of state aid highways
 as well as for any other public | works, using available state aid funds in the same method as set
 forth above for state funds or through borrowing the entire cost of the project and repaying 70 per cent of such cost through re- funds from the state as they be- come available from future state aid allotments.
 Similar arrangements might be made with the town aid appropri- ation of $3,000,000 per year which is distributed equally among the towns of the state. This act is not normally conceded the permanency of the state aid act, but the ap- rnrnr,rio finy, 1yno fN any state biennium might be used for obtaining an additional 30 per cent grant from the federal gov- ernment.
 Commissioner Macdonald states that he is of the opinion that Con- necticut should obtain every bit of federal money that it possibly can as a means of financing highway improvement, since highways an- swer perfectly to the description of the type of public works which are being urged under the MIRA susceptible to rapid construction, part of a general system, not iso- lated from the centers of unem- ployment in Connecticut, of advan-
 tage to the majority of citizens and requiring much labor.
 Furthermore, Commissioner Mac donald contends, use of MIRA
 funds in this manner would add
 considerably. to the value of tax able property in the towns through
 which such projects pass, thereby increasing the tax returns to the several towns, and in this way
 help to reestablish the financial condition of the towns involved. 1t
 would further afford increased transportation facilities, not only
 for the residents of adjacent towns and the state of Connecticut, but
 also, since the projects proposed with the funds are on our primary routes, these facilities would be available for the multitude of citi- zens of the country desiring to use our highways for pleasure and commerce"

More Rabies Now
 Than Last Year
Thirty-tilree Cases Re. ported During Month
 of June l933-

There is not much difference in the law on dogs now from what 1t has been for many years. but like other things suits for dog bites are more common than in the old days when people were willing to fight their way past dogs and take their chances. It is different days so that the owner of a vicious dog has to be careful about it's conduct. Probably this is due to the fact that rabies is more common than in former years.
 The July issue of The Connec- ticut Health Bulletin carries the following article under the heading of Rabies Examinations":
 "In June 1892 the bureau of laboratories examined 28 dogs

Not Crirninally
 Responsible For
 Mitchell Death
Accident Occurred on East Main Street June z0-Nc- tim, Not Believed Seriously Injured Was Not Re- moved to Hospital Until One Week After She Was Injured

ceased was crossing from the southerly side of East Main street to her home on the northerly side at 861 East Main street. At this time Reginald Lau of S51 East Main street was operating a 1882 Plymouth sedan in a westerly di- rection on East Main stret. Lau. who was a properly licensed oper- ator of motor vehicles, was pro- ceeding at a reasonable rate of speed on his own right hand side of the roadway. There is a curve in the roadway at this point.
 Mrs Mitchell when she was near the curb appeared to hesitate and then hurried forward. Lau did not see her until he was about twenty feet away. He at once ap- piled his brakes and turned to the left to avoid her and thought he had done so. Mrs Mitchell, how ever, was struck by the near right bumper and thrown to the pave ment 8 few feet from the curb. Lau brought his car to a stop within distance of ten to fifteen feet.
 Mrs Mitchell was taken to Dr Bowes' office and treated there for first aid. She went home and was attended by Dr Bowes for about one week. At the end of that time she was removed to St Mary's hos pital. Her condition became worse and she died on July II, 1883. at St Mary's hospital.
 find that the death of the said Elizabeth Mitchell was due to cerebral oedema and introcranial lesion when she was struck by the automobile operated by Reginald Lau almost in front of S61 East Main street in the city of Water bury, but that said death was not due to the criminal negligence of the said Reginald Lau.

DRIVER IS Ex0NERATED IN AUTO FATALITY
WET FORCES IN
 ARIZONA HAVE
 THEIR OWN WAY
No Dry Represented at
 Election To-day But Postmaster q e n CT a l Farley Urges a Big Vote

Phoenix, Ariz, Aug s-(U.P.)-s Wet forces claimed a cut-and-dried victory to-day as Arizona voters balloted on repeal of the eighteenth amendment and nominated a dem- ocrat to succeed Federal Budget Director Lewis w. Douglas as the states only representative in com gress.
 Absence of dry convention dele gates on the ballot led anti-prohib- ition leaders to notify James Far ley, chairman of the democratic national committee. that the state was certain to become the 21st to approve ratification of repeal of national prohibition. Nevertheless. Farley urged anti-prohibitionists to turn out en masse at the polls.
 "Please make every effort to get every possible vote to the polls in favor of repeal so that the country will understand how the voters of Arizona feel on this most import ant measure" Farley exhorted. The dry forces were not repre- sented because they failed to se- cure enough signers on the peti- tions before the deadline. A last minute attempt to block the cleo tion in the state supreme court failed, temporarily at least, when the clerk refused to accept the
 petition because the $25 filing fee
 was not enclosed.
 Observers predicted less than 50 per cent of the states voters would turn out. Despite the activity of wet leaders. interest centered on the congressional race which lack ed republican competition. Three democrats vied for the nomination. They were Mrs Isabella Greenway, national committeewoman and per sonal friend of President and Mrs Roosevelt: Harlow Akers of Phoe- | nix, and William Coxon of Will
 cox. The socialist party also had a candidate in the field, Dillworth E. Sumpter of Wins1ow.

heads for rabies. Nine Of theIe were positive. During the past month @ dogs heads were submit ted to the laboratories: IS were positive: 1l negative: one was un- satisfactory for examination.
 "A comparison of the number of positive examinations for these two months appears to indicate that rabies is considerably more prevail ent this year than in 1882.
 ''In several instances no infor- nation has been received with the specimens. This has caused a lit- tle confusion when two or three dogs have been submitted from the same locality. Persons submitting rabies specimens can materially aid by furnishing complete informa- ton promptly"
