THE history of the Navy is replete
with action the booklet says in the
opening chapter The quasi-war
with France, l798-180l, saw its bap-
tiSmal fire. Tripolitan pirates next
brought it to the Mediterranean. Then
came the war of 1872 Suppression
OF the slave trade necessitated con-
siderable activity.
Step for New NAVY,
: The first step toward a new Navy
(after the War Between the States)
came under the administration of
President Garfield. when an advisory
board was appointed to report on the
needs OF the Navy. President Arthur,
IN his first annual message in 1881,
declared, I cannot too strongly urge
upon you my conviction that every
consideration Of national safety, econ
omy and honor imperatively demands
thorough rehabilitation of the Navy
In spite Of the reluctance of Con-
Rress to accede to his views, the birth
on new Navy occurred in his ad-
mlnistration. Later, under the lead
ershlp OF President Theodore Roose-
welt, naval development went forth
'epace. The World War added an
other chapter Of expansion. Presi-

Assistant Secretary of the Navy, has

LIGHTNING HITS
 RESIDENCE HERE
Utilities Affected, Paving Projects Suspended Dur.
 ing Heavy Storm Today

A terrific mid-morning thunder storm today brought temporary re- lief from the oppressive heat as 1t swept over the city. A Bunker Hill home was struck by lightning, lines of Connecticut Light & Power Go, were considerably damaged, and telephone service was hit. Surround ing towns also felt the force of the storm, with Watertown and Thom- aston reporting heavy damage from the storm.
 The chimney on the home of Louis Walsh, 4S Newton terrace, was struck by lightning at the height of the storm. Bremen answered an alarm at 10:46, but the building did not catch fire. The property Is own- ed by Jerome LaVigne.
 Mercury Drops
 The storm caused the mercury to drop l2 degrees, from 90 to 78. But once the storm had gone the tem- perature began to climb sharply again, and the city was still suf- fering from the heat. The tempera- ture was back at 90 degrees at press hour.
 The Connecticut Light & Power Go. reported that numerous trans formers were blown and burned out by the lightning. Lines were down in some places. Service in the city was maintained through the storm. Wires were reported short -circuited in the north end section Cooke street, and Waterville,
 Lines "Out"
 The Southern New England Tele- phone Go. reported that 80 lines and l20 stations were temporarily out of service. Thirty lines and 50 stations were out in ThomaSton, and approx imately the same number in Water- town.
 The terrific downpour caused Q temporary let-up in work on the city's paving program. Trenches on Willow street were filed with water but no serious damage occurred.
 The street department said that no wash-outs had been caused by the storm.

Increase In Suicides
 Fails To Mar Record
Connecticut Enjoys 'tiealthies Year in Long Period
 Mortality Rate Indicates Impressive Decline

Nineteen hundred thirty-seven Is declaring & rich semi-annual divid- end, and, barring the possibility of an unexpected epidemic, new rec- ords in health and low mortality may be expected for the whole year, the state department of health said today In announcing It's provisional summary of mortality experience during the first six months of the year.
 A selected list of the causes of deaths for the half year shows an even 6,400 deaths in the state against 6,676 last year, @ decrease of 275. Since mortality for the second six months of the year is always more favorable than for the first six months, the year seems destined to set e new low death rate for Connecticut.
 Minor Increases
 Out of 9 causes of death, only ten show increases and in most cases these increases are very slight.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-08-10

Typhoid fever, for instance, caused three deaths in the first half Of 1887 as compared with only one in the same period of 1886. Measles which were prevalent in 1895 and declined In 1886, reappeared with consider able prevalence in 1887, causing Il deaths as against six last year. Scarlet fever mortality went up from seven to ten. But these minor in- creaseS disturbed the state depart ment of health not nearly as much as did what seems at first to be slight rise from three to eight in diphtheria deaths.
 For a number of years diphtheria mortality has been low, and any in- crease, no matter how meagre. must indicate @ large group in the popu- lation which Is not immunized. The public has forgotten the ravages of this Scourge of childhood, the de- partment says, and false sense of security has been created. To this statement the department adds this ominous warning: Unless there is an awakening to the dangers of diphtheria, and a widespread cam- paign for immunization by toxoid, the mortality from diphtheria in 1887 bids fair to be the highest in recent years.
 Largaret increases In deaths came from influenza, diabetes, undefined types of pneumonia and suicide.
 Encouraging Features
 Other features of its provisional summary, the department finds very encouraging. Mortality from tuber- culosis continues to decrease. Can- cer shows a decrease Of 69 deaths as compared with the first six months of 1896. Deaths from diseases of the heart, the leading cause of death with cancer running second, dropped by 70, Improvements there- by being shown in the two leading allies of the grim reaper. Broncho and lobar pneumonia mortality de- clined, indicating that widened use of serum therapy will bring further decreases. Maternal deaths, occur ring from puerperal diseases, show 6 substantial decrease with no marked decline in births. Even ac. cidental deaths had an unusual drop.

1 waters stilled at even." Foam at the brow of 6 careening yacht or it's churning wake over the stern depicts the poetry of motion. z
 Verses may be illustrated. "Where the breaking waves dash high on @ stern and rockbound coast" is Q place for photographs of one of waters most inspiring moods, and then, from the hiiltops "there is not in the wide world valley 50 sweet, as that vale in whose bosom the bright waters meet"
 Endless are your opportunities for making delightful photographs of water scenes. But there's Q trick to successful water photography. It's largely e matter of shooting so that the pictured water has the right "feel" or texture.
 For example, it's possible to shoot spray too fast, 50 that 1t has Q hard, brittle look, thereby losing its essen. tial sense of movement. On the other hand, ripping water should be shot fast enough so that the rip. ples are distinct, each with its own highlights.
 Another point is lighting. Choose the angle that gives you the maxi mum texture" the characteristic interplay of light and shade. No one can tell you exactly how to so about this; little experimenting will tell you better than volumes of words. But keep this in mind. Any falr.Sized body of water reflects . lot of light.

 Arraigned in district court, he pleaded guilty to a drunkenness charge and was fined the maximum of SIS. Having only $2.70 cash, Dean paid by check, observing:
