equipment which greatly facilitates the work of the bacteriologist.
 Recommendations
 The creation of a licensing ordin- ance to include fish markets, meat markets, restaurants, bakeries, etc., would undoubtedly prove valuable in safeguarding the health of the general public. I would suggest the present ordinance on milk licenses" be amended, and a blanket ordin- ance so-called, adopted to license such stores, thereby assuring sani- tary. handling of foodstuffs. These licenses could be issued for a nom- inal fee thereby adding little rev. enue to the city treasury and would permit us to keep more efficient check on such places.
 Another recommendation, which I sincerely believe should be adopt ed, involves the transfer of vital sta titsics from the office of the town clerk to the health department where such records rightfully belong. These statistics are handled by most all the health departments throughout the country at this time. I might also point out, while dwell- ing on this important subject, that in the majority of these modern cit- ies vital statistics are not available for public inspection. Visitors are charged a nominal fee for the in- formation sought.
 Health Instruction
 We are endeavoring to make the people of the entire city health conscious. Not being content with vaccination and serums of various kinds, medical doctors who are ex- perts in the diagnosis of disease, and our own methods of bygone years in taking various precautions with the view of improving the health of the general public, we are now striving to develop superior character of health. In fewer words we are attempting to advise the gen. eral public as to the best method to pursue in building buoyant, spirited health. The principles of health culture are now being taught in the public schools, at public and private assemblies, in the columns of the press and over the radio. The health of this city as whole depends on the health of its individuals. We feel we are progressing satisfactor- fly in our campaign and wish to give unstinted praise to our newspapers, the school authorities, parent-teach- CTS association, official and non- official organizations, and all others who have so generously cooperated. Employees of this department should also be recipients of this praise for they have carried out the duties of their office most efficiently.

'S, MAIN ST. MAN
 GETS SENTENCE
Convicted for Second Time of Keeping Liquor
 to Sell

Convicted for the second time in the local courts of keeping liquor, with intent to sell, Henry Pietro- bono, AS, of 334 South Main street, was sentenced to six months in the county jail today. The accused, who when arrested last time was found to have sold liquor in exchange for welfare department groceries pleaded guilty to the charge.
 Capt. Dan Carson, and Patrol men Patrick Moylan and Fred Hickey arrested Pietrobono in raid on a Union street "store" sev- eral weeks ago. A quantity of li- quor was seized in the raid.
 After imposing the jail sentence, Judge Mascolo said: "The sale Of liquor on your part is not as bad as some of the other things you've been doing. Waterbury doesn't want you here. After you get 10 jail, if you can get job some- where, and will go to wherever it it and live, and keep away from here, I may let you go free from jail, if your lawyers bring up the matter"
 Pietrobono has been in trouble with the authorities often. In ad- dition to a previous liquor charge arrest, he was arrested once for carrying concealed weapons. He was also held once, while police inves- tigated a possible connection be- tween him and an old murder case in New Jersey.

Decline Reported in Infantile Mortality RateAdvises
 Ordinance for Fish and Meat Markets

- ical examination by a competent physician would undoubtedly curb the ravages of this disease. There was also an increase in the number of deaths from circulatory diseases, or heart disorders. An increase was noted in the number of deaths from pneumonia during the fiscal year ending No. 1, 1885. Records of io- lentv and accidental deaths show a decrease of seven sllicide-deaths, and a decrease of accidental death by eight.
 The Waterbury Chapter of the Red Cross has appointed a Home and Highway Accident Prevention Committee of which have the hon. or of being chairman. The commit tee includes representatives of the police and fire departments, patriot ic and civic organizations, and prominent physicians. Plans are being perfected to establish first aid stations about the district and to conduct educational safety-cam- paigns in the schools. The district includes Waterbury and nearby towns. The movement should greatly reduce the accident rate in this vicinity. Addresses in connec- tion with the campaign have been delivered over the air. Volunteers will be trained at special classes in the fundamental duties of conduct ing the first aid stations.
 Our record of infant deaths de- mands attention and should invite interest. The infant mortality rate for the past year was 38.S, the low est ever recorded in the city's his- tory. There were 54 deaths under one year, 8 decrease of IA compared to the total of the previous year. This figure can be reduced still lower if mothers would arrange for better prenatal advice and attention. There were 12 less stillbirths than in 1884. The birth rate is slightly higher than a year ago.
 Sanitation
 A city wide clean-up campaign was vigorously endorsed in the early Spring at which time many unsight- ly places were cleaned by Mutual Aid workmen under the supervision of Street Department foremen. The Police and Fire Departments gave valuable assistance. Property own- CTS were very cooperative when rec concentrations for correction of un- sanitary conditions were called to their attention. One public dump was ordered closed but there are three remaining ones which can be utilized, if the privilege is not abused. Employees of the health de- partment assisted in three prosecu- tions involving complaints of un- healthful conditions.
 Laboratory
 Routine examinations were car- ried on in the laboratory, averaging about the same as previous years. The present bacteriologiSt has been able to submit prompt, accurate re- ports, despite the loss of an assist ant who resigned some time ago. AL though a reduction is noted in the total number of milk samples col lected we feel a proper check is be- ing kept on all milk distributed lo- cally. The milk meets the required standards and is examined by local and state authorities. Miss Murray, the bacteriologist, gave very inter esting talk on the radio explaining the many details connected with her work and showing what an impor- tant part the laboratory plays in public health work. A new sterilizer has been added to the laboratory

AMATEUR TROUPE
 TO PERFORM HERE
Major BOwes' Unit to Ap= pear at State ArmOry
 Monday Evening

Major Edward Bowes, genial host of the Sunday night amateur hour on the radio, sends one of his splendid groups of talented am- ateurs to Waterbury for one night. They will be seen and heard at the State Armory on Monday night. December 9th.
 This unique stage attraction is unquestionably the outstanding event of the theatrical year and has been made so by the universal appeal it has for everyone who ever listened to the weekly breakfasts and the millions who are always interested in newly discovered tal- ent. In his Sunday night broad casts the Major has sensed the trend of public sentiment and done much to stimulate the nation to an appreciation of clean, wholesome amusement.
 The tremendous interest that the listeners have shown in the pro- grams is manifest in the tens of thousands of letters. telegrams and phone messages that are received weekly, following his broadcast. Ob- viously the winners on the weekly broadcasts are possessed of more than ordinary ability and with the coaching and guidance they receive from the Major and his corp of able assistants, they soon develop into artists of merit. It is safe to say that many of stellar perform CTS we shall know in the near fu- ture, on both radio and screen, will date their debut from the time they apepared on one of the Ma jor'S programs.
 Besides providing splendid enter tainment for radio, stage and screen-since his amateurs now make films also-the Major is cred ited with creating new occupa- tions for many unemployed persons and contributing to the continued employment of dozens of theater employees throughout the country The governor of one state where the amateurs appeared recently, went so far as to say that Major Bowes, as an individual, had done as much as anyone in America to lessen the blight of the depression not only by his chereing broad casts with their kindly and opti- mistic tone, but by the more prac- tical means of providing employ ment for many clever youths and girls whose abilities might not have been recognized, had they not been brought to eight on the amateur hour.
 The aggregation of talent that has been assembled for appearance here is said to include several of the cleverest amateurs who have apepared on the recent Sunday night programs.
 Among them will be Lucette ee L'Orget, the charming vocalist from Montreal, Cornelius Vaughn, dra- matic baritone of exceptional merit;

 Local Civil Action
Issues for Grove & Co., Found in Common Pleas Court
 Decision Today Against William J. Pape

I--uas for the defendant are found in a decision handed down in the com1lon pleas court today ln the civil action of William J. Pape, To- car publisher, against the Grove & CO, Inc. The suit was brought b ythe plaintiff to recover for dam- age to his Packard roadster caused when he drove it into the rear Of the defendants parked truck on Southington mountain, Jan. 21, 1885.
 Judge Hamlin says the road was icy and the night foggy. It was about 10 p. m, when the plaintiff approached over the crest of 8 small summit. The plaintiff ad- mitted seeing the parked truck 75 .eet distant and applied his brakes but the car skidded for 70 feet to bump into the truck.
 The decision stated the truck driver doubtless escaped serious in- jury by diving into a ditch when he turned around to see the Pape car coming at him. The driver had noticed a car stalled in ditch and when asked foraid, lowed the car ou. O. the ditch. He had parked his truck over to the right of the high way, leaving an admitted clearance of 20 feet, says the decision. While fixing the rope used for towing the stalled car, to the truck, he was about to replace the rear tailboard when he heard the Pape car com- ing and dove into the ditch.
 Even if the tail lights and refiec- tors were obscured as claimed by the plaintiff, it would not have been the substantial factor, says the decision, since the plaintiff saw the truck IS feet distant.

JUSTICES WERE
 BIT SURPRISED

Washington, Dec. 7-(UP)-Jus- tices of the district court of claims were pretty embarrassed when they came to work today and discovered a iS-star colonial flag flying from the staff atop their building.
 A nasty check disclosed no evi- dence of @ sinister plot. Instead, the justices were informed that it was all the fault of an awning com- pany employe who inadvertently substituted the ancient emblem for an up-to-date one ordered by the court.
 The 1s-star flag is used only for patriotic organizations. and has not seen ofiicial service since l7o6.
