VETERAN MEMBERS RETURN TO CHORUS
COncOrdias Keenly Enthu- siastic Over Joint COn-
 cert Sunday Night

Veteran members of the Concor- dia Singing society who aided the organization in achieving some of the most enviable honors in state musical circles will be seen and heard again Sunday evening when the society appears in a joint con- cert at Buckingham hall. The re- turn of the senior songsters may be interpreted as a tribute to the
 leadership and ability of Professor Andrew Neuss and as evidence of the general enthusiasm created in connection with the state saenger- fest to be held here next June, with the Concordias as host as to var ious state units.
 Appearing with the Concordias Sunday evening will be the Water bury Philharmonic orchestra, which has delighted so many of Water bury's lovers of music by their splendid work in the past.
 It was announced today that the ladies' would comprise sixty six Ivoices. The male chorus will number several numbers which in his opin- ion will appeal to the general public selections of a lighter vein than those featured in previous presentations. The same high ap- proval on the part of the audience is confidently anticipated. Of in- lterest to many also Is the announce | ment that the harp again will
 be played in the presentation of
 the program. Though of tender
 age the harpist has been credit ed with distinctive qualifications of | a most promising artist.

Families gathering about the Manufacturing festive board in this Iall of 1884 will have more to be thankful for health-wise than in any other year in history. accord ing to the weekly bulletin of the state department of health which today, contained a resume of public health progress during the past 50 years.
 There will be much less cause for sadness on the 1884 Thanks niving than there was in years past, for half century ago IT people out of every 1000 died annually while today the rate has been cut to lV deaths per 1000. In those days one could look forward to life ex' pectancy of only 30 years. This ex- pectancy has now been nearly doubled. It is quite certain, the bulletin said, that moro grandpar- ents at the 1894 Thanksgiving table will be considerably older than in the early days, since adults are now not Gnly enjoying a longer span of life but are active longer. More Babies are living to grow up today due to better care before, at and after birth. As compared with a loss of 100 or more babies for each 1000 born years ago less than half that number are now lost.

bers by diphtheria. Last year, there were only 16 deaths from this dis ease and only three deaths thus far this year. Since those early days ideas which smacked of witchcraft have been dissipated along with the theory that diph- theria was caused by sewer gas. Diphtheria is no longer a disease to cause fear in Connecticut, how ever, for no child will have the disease if he is immunized with tOxoid.
 Typhoid fever has also been nearly wiped out. Pure water sup plies and supervised milk supplies as we'll as control of carriers have been responsible for this. When one considers that there were only eight. deaths from typhoid in the whole state last year, it is hard to believe that in the good old days typhoid caused 345 vacant places at the family table in single year.
 Tuberculosis, which once headed the list of causes of death to the extent that there were probably few families which had no record of cases or deaths from "consump. tion," today causes only about five per cent of the total number of deaths. It has been brought under control through personal hygiene, ample provision for sanatoriun care, precautions in isolating cases to stop its spread and modern methods for finding cases early with the assistance of the X-ray.
 Modern preventive work has progressed far since Pasteur laid it's foundation by originating the germ theory of disease. Some of the earlier diseases have almost been eliminated and others are controlled so that deaths from them have been greatly reduced, the bull letin stated, but flor fear our complacence may be too pro nounced, we must acknowledge that diseases of adult life, cancer, heart disease, nephritis and dia- betes are on the increase and new methods in the next 50 years must be developed for their control.'

WIDENING IS BEGUN
ON FOURTEENTH STREET

tween Constitution avenue and D

permit the widening Of that thorough
fare and the re-laying of the street
car tracks.
Upon orders Of Traffic Director
William A. Van Duzer changes in the
trat1lc arrangement for the section
were made as follows:
Southbound trafic, with the excep-
tion Of buses and trucks, was re-
routed to roadways back Of the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing,
around the street section under re-
pair.
Meanwhile, all northbound traffic
over the section Of Fourteenth street
under repair was stopped and re-
rputed-east on D street southwest to
Twelfth street and then north on the
latter thoroughfare. Twelfth street
for the time of the emergency became
a one-way thoroughfare for north

mentioned is to be widened approx
nately 20 feet, or about 10 feet on
each side, according to Mr.. Van

car tracks Is expected to take at least
several months, it is said, and the
special traff1c regulations are to con-
tinue in effect during that time.

MOSCOW, April PA letter writ
ten by George Washington in l7S5 to
an unidentified man concerning a dis

found in the Moscow Historical Mu-
scum.
The communication, which is q part
OF the collection Of the late Count G.

Quarian. is dated Mount Vernon, June
Fl, 1885," the Daily News says.
1t begins with the salutation "Sir"
but gives no evidence of the identity
OF the man to whom it was sent. It
reads:
FF"I am greatly obliged to you for the
several communications of your letter
II wish disagreeable consequences

thereof are astonishly great and chief

court Of Spain is just or unjust

to restrain people Of this class from
enjoying natural advantages.
1T Is devoutly to be wished that
Mr.. Gardogin would enter into such
stipulations with Congress as may
avert the impending evil and be mu-
tually advantageous to both nations.
After the explicit declarations of
the Emperor respecting the navigation
Of the Scheldt and his other demands
upon Holland he will stand I think
upon favorable ground; for if he re-
cedes his foresight and judgment may
be arraigned and if he proceeds his
ruin may be involved.

COTTON CROP

A great number OF farmers and
business men have lost confidence
IN reputable cotton breeders be-
cause Of unture and unauthorized
statements by statesmen whose only

order.

Cottonseeds Association recently
has been organized to work out a
central sales plan TO do away with
a great deal Of competition and at
the same time eliminate the neces-
sity Of agents making false state
ments concerning any particular
variety of cotton in order to make
a sale.
