Bremen Rescue
 Imprisoned Tots

Two youngsters in a Cooke street home today are more firmly convinced than ever that bathrooms were designed for no good purpose. The con- viction has been growing, on them for a number of years and is especially strong on Saturday nights. In some manner as yet unexplained they got '1ocked in" this morning, and the services of the Burton street fire depart- ment were cOmmandeered to get them out again.
 The tots managed to lock themselves in the bathroom while playing on the second floor and could not reach the knob. Their screams aroused their mother, Mrs Margaret Hoar of 144 Cooke street, and Lieutent Jack Stevens and his men dashed to the rescue. A lift of the ladder and a burly fireman had the door open and the youngsters free once more. And it wasn't even Saturday. ".

 Mans Home

Vancouver, B. c. (UP)-Dr Yer non Ardagh, 70, known through out Northern British Columbia as "Old Doc," who went to school with Rudyard Kipling, will slend the rest of days in the old mans home here.

Attorney V. D. Glynn
 Addresses Meeting
Tells County Delegates of Young Democrats Aims of
 Organization - FactiOnalism Denounced

that members of the Young Dem- ocratic clubs throughout the state are being gradually shifted into positions of importance in the party. He cited the recent election of Attorney John Cullinan as town chairman of Bridgeport. In Mill ford, he said, Joseph Forans, a prominent member of the organi- zation, is the candidate for judge of probate. He mentioned other young democrats" who are forg- ing ahead. He declared that the young clubs are putting new idea into politics and doing away with the old idea of door-bell ringing. The young clubs are studying and instructing others in political gov ernment.
 Seek Unity
 President Harrington of the To- cal club outlined the aims of the local club and stressed the fact that the organization knows noth- ing of and, therefore, does not recognize guardian" Factions, he declared, are out of the question. The Young Democratic clubs, he declared, aim to wipe out such things as factions and weld the democratic party of the state into one, unified fighting force.

Lansing, Mich. - (UP)-Mich- igan uses a s25.00O.0OO corpora ton to effect a "controlled thirst for its residents, but at that 1t dis penses 1,200 brands of liquor cheaper than in any of the II states with similar setups.
 That is the declaration of Frank A. Picard, chairman of the liquor control commission who dules one of the states greatest enterprises from a central office and ware- house here literally effervescing 'intoxication."
 Picard's statement comes after si months of exploration" in a state monopoly of liquor. And the books of the Michigan commission show a net profit of $3,083,O00 between Dec. IS, 1883 and June 1, 1894. The profit is all the more significant in view of the fact the commission actually did not set up its full array of state liquor stores until May.

 association of Young Democratic clubs. Attorney Glynn is state president of the association and MT Robinson is the New Haven county president. William T.

 Reports of the executive com mittee and the chairmen of the various committees were received, all of them showing that the Young Democratic organization is away up on its schedule to swing
 support to the democratic candi- dates this fall.
 To Educate Youths Attorney Glynn urged that young
 people be trained in the science of government. The aim of the or
 ganization, he explained, is to ed ucate the young to take over the
 leadership of the party when they l become of age and develop the
 proper qualities of leadership. He complimented the local club on it's fine organization and said that it could serve as model for the
 other county clubs. The fact that
 the organization recognizes no fac.
 tions was also stressed by Attorney
 Glynn.

CITY INTENDS
 TO SELL PIGS
M Municipal Workhouse Porkers May Be Sold As
 Controversy Arises

Cleveland-(UP)-I City Serv- vice Director William F. Eirick in- sists of being pig about the pig problem, he can go greedy and get nothing, Welfare Director David S. Ingalls,, former assistant secre- tary of navy, has vowed.
 Brick can keep his old garbage. Ingalls, little pigs are going to market.
 Ingalls, pigs-2,300 of them reside at the piggery of Warrens- vile farm, municipal workhouse, where they are cozy in summer mud, when there is any mud, and set up 8 delightful aroma for nearby fashionable Shaker Height sters.
 The pig problem was created by Eirick, whose garbage trucks have been hauling pig food to the pig gery. Eirick told Ingalls, he thought it was worth $1o load; Ingalls,, retaliating, said he could be just as pig-headed as Eirick. If Brick is too piggish to feed h. gals pigs without being paid for it, Ingalls, will solve the pig food problem by turning the pigs into food.
 And so Ingalls, had introduced into council legislation authorizing him to sell 1,500 of the little pork CTS. The rest, he said, could sub sist easily on the '1elfare depart ment's own garbage.

ltaly's Planes Seen
 As Britain Threat
Endanger Empires Line of Communication to East;
 Has Vital Bearing on Conference


 Paris (UP)-The thin red line of Rritain's communications be- tween the homeland and the col onies and Dominions East of suez is threatened.
 The threat. according to French observers. comes from Italy. The Italian government has developed giant naval seaplanes for use in the Mediterranean with, the main object, it is said. of hitting at Malta. Britain's second Gibraltar.
 These seaplanes are capable of setting off from Italian soil in Sicily and raining bombs upon the British Mediterranean fleet In Valetta harbor, 75 kiIom eters away, in less than half an hour. After bombing the hornets nest, tney can be back on Italian ter- ritory within an hour.
 AS French naval and aerial ex- perts see the situation, Italy's ex- pansion of naval and air strength will have vital bearing on the World Naval Conference to open next year to endeavor to do with naval forces what the Geneva Dis armament Conference failed to achieve with land and air force

 Ofices of the commission are housed in a building that carries at least $4,0OO,000 in stock ali Of the time and which provides for an additional $3,00O,0OO for stocks in 100 branch stores scattered over the state.
 Each day of the week at least IA railroad cars come to and leave this central plant, carrying the finest brands of liquor the world can produce. The commission regulates the sale and licenses 38z private distributors over the state. There are 800 full-time employees of the commission.
 Picard claims there never has been less bootlegging in the his-s tory of the state than now. As for the dangers of a political ma chine" growing out of such a sys- term, Picard said, 'T would rather have a political machine built out of the employees of this commission than through the brewers, the beer barons and the bootleggers."

NEW MACHINE
 TO AID FARMERS
Mechanical Device Will Leave Fields Considers
 ably Cleaner

washington - (UP) - A new mechanical device designed to en- able farmers to harvest a larger percentage of grain and fodder and also leave cleaner fields has been developed by department of agriculture engineers.
 The new device is a lifting att tachment for use on mechanical corn pickers, corn binders and other row harvesters. The inven- tors, R. B. Gray and L. G. Schoen- leber, have obtained q public serv- ice patent on the contrivance.
 The device is said to have worked successfully with corn as high as eight feet. Engineers be- lieve is also may prove practical for sugar cane harvesters.
 Officials said the attachment will permit farmers to harvest a larger percentage of grain and fodder and to leave cleaner fields, particularly when stalks are lodged badly. They pointed out that clean harvesting helps control many insect pests which live and propagate in stalks left in infested fields.

 Because of British sea power, one half of which is csntered al- most constantly in, the Mediter- ranean to guard the chain of communications with the Far East by way of suez. Italy always has had a great deal of respect for Great Britain.
 The Italian government realized that Italy was more or less at the mercy of the big guns of Britain's mighty battle cruisers which could steam from their anchorage at Malta to lombard Italy's coasts within a few hours.
 With the development of avia- tion, however, Italy's outlook has changed, The Italian Mediterran- can air force now Is equipped with bombing planes which are capable of turning the tables on the Brit ish menace. They are capable of attacking, crippling and perhaps even wiping out the British sea giants before even these floating fortresses can weigh an anchor and steam to the attack.

DOCTORS WARN
OF DANGER IN
DINITROPHENOL

The question, How can l reduce?"
has not been solved by recent eX-
periments with weight reduction by
use of the drug called dinitrophenol
and its related compounds, declares
the Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Minnesota State Medical
Association in a bulletin issued today.
Dinitrophenol is a derivative OF
carbolic acid, according to this COM
mittee. It's use in weight reduction is
a recent development and it has
proved useful in the hands of physi-
clans where other methods of reduc-
ing are difficult or impossible.
1t is very dangerous in the hands
of those who do not understand the
dosage or action and already several
deaths have been reported among
people who bought it on their own
responsibility and took it recklessly
without any knowledge whatever of
its proper use or safety for them.
THE drug acts to produce fever,
increased pulse and respiration rates,
and copious sweating" says the bull

bolism, that is, its consumption of
fuel, causing it not only to oxidize
food but to draw upon the fat tissues
to provide fuel for increased activity.
Excessive dosage causes a fatal high
fever. In smaller doses, it may be
extremely dangerous for persons suf
fering from some of the common
chronic diseases
Recent reports by the Pure Food
and Drugs Administration show that
dinitrophenol or one of its compounds
is being used in some patented flesh
reducing preparations. The medical
association issued a special warning
against use of any such preparation
containing the drug.
Taking off weight still has to be
done in most normal cases by taking
in less food than the body consumes
each day in physical exercise. That
means, in most cases, eating less and
exercising more. There is no royal
road, yet, to a slim figure.
