League officials attribute the rec mafkable decline in the death rate from tbis digoaee to a number of contributory cau6eg. Educational meaeurea, precautions ir food handling, sanitorium treatment. and modern surgical methods all have played an important part in the reduction, they believe.
 Besides the graph showing the hiefpry of the fight against tuber- cmlosis In Waterbury, there is other iDteregting data available at the cottage. The little building is an exact replied of the cottage built by pr Trudaau at Earanac lake, the first building to be erect- ed fin the United States for tuber. culosis treatment.

 Peter's denial of Jesus is a strange episode in the life of man whose general career was one of such intense devotion and capacity for courageous self
 He had left all things 10 fol- low Jesus. He had been inpetu- ous and foremost in proclaifning his allegiance and in seeking q foremost place among the disci- ples.
 He had followed his Master after the arrest and had gone even inside the court, where he was sitting warming himself by the fire, when one of. the maids of the high priest accused him of being disciple o the Naznrene.
 If Peter had been overcome by fear, if he had wished in any way to dissocinte himself with the Master, why should he have entered the court at all? He would naturally have sought some way of escape and safety. but here we find him in the very front Of circumstances where he is likely to be recognized and ac- cused.
 How can we account for this sudden change in whcih he pro- tests most vchemently that he has had nothing to do with Jesus? The problem seems diff ficult for those who approach it only from the standpoint of theory without much Knowledge of actual psychology. especially of the psychology of impetuous and intense men like Peter.
 But when one considers thc incident In the light of all the facts of human history, the mat ter is not NO strange:
 War experiences have shown unistekably that men who have on occasion ben capable o the utmost heroism have on other occasions been guilty Of what seemed like abJect coward ice. Apparently one of the fears that deeply besct men of courage and honor during the desperate years of the World War was, lest gHVy bUOulu pEONO. AbeNa8b " some particular strain.
 The seeming cowardice of men was often as inexpiicabie as the most daredevil acts of self exposure in the most dangerous circumstnaces. One may recall the rank testimony of . man who was decorated for q partie. ular act of heroiHm, that hc had, as c matter of fact, been the vice tim of intense fear all through performance Of the exploit.
 All this means that any man ig subject to great emotional temptation, and an impetuous man, particularly, may Do car. ried away as much by some mo- mentary temptation as by . o. fnentary impulse toward some sub- lime act.
 Peter may have been over. como by the guddenoss of the young girls charge. The

|NEICHBORS CLAIM | CROSSMAN ESTATE
Action for SlS,OOO Also Started for Kindness
 and Services"

Possession of the godos and personal property of tho late Dr Franz Grossman, former local resi- dent, and damages of $f8.000 are claimed by Anthony Santoro and Mrs Marie $. Nonamaker, in a civil action instituted to-day In the superior court against the Water bury Trust company, administrator of the doctors estate.
 Dr Grossman's estate, inven- toried last week, is claimed by the plaintiffs to be worth $16,052.O5. They base their claim on the grounds that the doctor intended to dispose of his wealth to the plaintiffs and gave them the key to his strong box which was at the Waterbury Trust company on Sep tember 22d.
 The doctors intention, the suit claims, was motiyated by the kind- ness nnd services rendered him by the plaintiffs during his residence in their block at 32 Abbott avenue. The suit points out that the strong box key was given to them on the day he broke his leg, September 22d.
 He maintained an office and residence at 32 Abbott avenue for more than 30 years. The build ing housing the office, also served the plaintiffs in the operation of a grocery store. The doctor, says the complaint, was unmarried and to the best of the plaintiffs knowl- edge, left no heirs.
 He was 80 years of age at the time of his mishap and weighed m the noighborhood of 250 pounds. His estate when inventoried showed 21 pieces of ancient jewel ry and bond holdings on several small European countries.
 The complaint adds that being apprehensive of death, the doctor went SO far as to tell the plain tiffs the kind of interment he wanted.
 pr Grossman died October 10th. Upon his death, the Waterbury Trust company was named admin istrator of his estate. The plain tiffs made application for their claim but were denied, they al- lege. The suit is brought for the plaintiffs by Attorney Maurice Qruskay.

 The Golden Text Is from Psalms 8G:11: "Teach mo thy way, o Lord; will walk in thy truth: unite my heart to fear thy name"
 Bible readings include the fol- lowing passages: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom Is no variablencss, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be kind of first fruits Of his creatures. But bc ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, dcceiving your own selves. :. Butwhoso lookcth into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not forgetful nearer, but q doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed" (James l: 17, IS, 22, 25.)
 Selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the scripturcs' by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following from page 227: 2f-26: Christian Science raises the stand ard of liberty and cries: Follow mo" Escnpe from the bondage of sickness, sin, and death" Jesus marked out the way.
