 RABBI W. P. GREENFIELD
 Tn these days of strife between group and group when the neces- sity for clean, honest, and healthy young men and women Is para mount, there can be no better in. Vestment for our citiEenry than support of the scout movement.
 At present, there Is Q campaign in progress for the small sum of Ss,600 for the annual budget of the entire Girl Scout movement in Waterbury.
 I not only heartily indorse this attempt to raise sufficient funds to teach our young women and mothers of tomorrow those prin- ciples which are dear to ell American and religious-ininded individuals, but I urge that each. according to his capacity, help to make this campaign c success.
 REV. FRANCIS M. O'SHEA

PARENTS WARNED T0|
LOOK FOR SYMPTOMS |
lnfantile Paralysis Appears In
Early Fall, Says Dr..

As most cases Of infantile paralysis
occur In the late summer and early
fall, Dr.. Maysil williams, state health
officer, warned parents to be on the
lookout for symptoms Of the disease
during the next few weeks.
Only three cases Of the disease,
which In 1888 took nine lives In this
state. have been reported to the health
department this year. Dr.. Williams
said.
Symptoms Of the disease are 4 mod
crate fever, usually accompanied by
headache, gastro-intestinal trouble
such Is vomiting, constipation,
drowsiness alternating with irritability
and stiffness Of neck and spine, she
said. This Is followed by paralysis.
Children are more frequently sls-
ceptible than adults except In ex-
tremely isolated districts not previous
ly reached by the infection. When
the paralysis Is prevalent. all children
with fever should be isolated until .
diagnosis has been made by . physi-
clan, she warned.
The source Of infection Is nose and
throat discharges Of infected persons
and carriers or articles recently SOIL
ed With these discharges. It usually
takes from Z to IL days to develop the
disease after exposure to the infection.

State Now Uses Nearly 1000,
600 Tons; Coal Mined In
a Counties

New tons Of freshly mined North
Dakota Ignite will rattle through coal
tipples ct several hundred North Da-
kots mines this fall when first frost
nips gardens and home owners remem.
Der the family coal bin has been empty
since those chilly days last May.
Ignite coal mining Is one Of North
Dakota's major industries and produc.
tion Of native fuel has been steadily
increasing the last 30 years. according
to s. A. Binek, state coal mine inspec-
tor.
The inspectors report shows an In
crease Of nearly 1;500, 900 tons Of ma
tive coal since 1908 when the states
production was set at 320,742 tons.
The total amount produced ct 355
mines last year was l,704983 tons,
about 100000 tons less than the all
time high In te2o when miners un-
earthed l,o026e3 tons. !
In North Dakota today coal Is be-
ing mined In 81 western counties
where about l,200 miners were EN-.
ployed last year. Coal mined by these
underground crews was valued ct
more than 100000 with Mercer
county leading Ignite valuations ct
1851. .Oo3.
Coal mining Is = dangerous occu-
patton" but mining people are now
awakening to the fact that lighting,
vision and Visibility conditions Ill
have vital effects not only on health
and safety but also on production
costa, Binek said.
North Dakota coal mine operators
reported only two fatal accidents last
year. and while there were about 800
accident cases reported In UNDER
ground mines only . small percent
age were serious.

WILTON FOUNTAIN
 MAY BE REMOVED
CcOntinued from Page D

(Continued from Page D ceived today by Mayor Frank Hayes is as follows:
 Honorable T. Frank Hayes, Mayor City Hall,
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir:
 In connection with the paving of North Main street wish to call your attention to the condition of the Carrie WeltOn fountain.
 Under this fountain there is q large cIstern into which the sur- plus water drains and is supposed to flow from the cistern into the sanitary sewer, but the cOnneo- ton to the sewer Is broken and cIogged. Consequently there is always stagnant water in the cis- tern which creates an Odor and causes complaints to come into this OlIlce both from pedestrians and merchants in the vicinity. It is then necessary to pump the water from the cistern into the SS4uIt&Gy BCWVH AlSA16AUACe
 The water connections are c0r- roded and trusted and at the pres ent time only the drinking foun- tain and one water trough can be used. The amount of this use is being checked at the present time and the complete. report will be ready May I, 1887.
 In order to correct the above conditions it. would be necessary to take the fountain completely apart and then rebuild it.
 In view of the conditions 0ut,- lined above, may I suggest that the present fountain be moved westward onto the Green and there serve as a statue in memory of the donor and her very sincere intentions.
 Respectfully submitted,
 T. J. FLEMING, Supt. of Streets, Sewer and Water.

U. 5. GOLD PRICE
 NOT TO CHANGE

to purchase all fold offered any, where at the high price. And the economists want to know what the United States is going to do with all its gold.
 Some credit authorities express the opinion here that no early change in the administration fold policy although 1t is possible that the United States Treasury may continue to buy all gold offered at $35 an ounce until some permanent International Currency Stabilia- tion plan is sumstituted for the cur- rent gentlemen's agreement.
 Various credit and fiscal authori-- ties discussing the gold problems with the United Press conceded to- day that benefits from gold pur- chase are diminishing 50 far as this country is concerned.
 They arrive at that conclusion in this way: increase in the dollar value of gold and the government purchase plan were part of a de- liherate effort to raise commodity and other prices in the United States The administration contends he gold policy materially aided achieve ment of higher prices. Over 2 period of years the Roosevelt adrniiilstra- ton directed most of its efforts to- ward price raising.
 In recent months pressure for higher prices has eased and Presi- dent Roosevelt and some of his aides have made statements calculated to interrupt the steady upward move- ment of prices. So long as higher prices was 8 major and immediate administration objective the impor- tation of foreign gold for conYer- sion into dollars and ultimate in- vestments in American stocks, con- rodities and other property fitted perfectly into Roosevelt pattern.
 With administration pressure for immediate price rises now reduced and almost vanished, the continued flow of gold is working at cross pur- poses with administration policy because new shipments of gold tend trends.

Broadway appearance in Three Wise Fools" in New York early last year.
 The play opened in his native city of Hartford where, in curtain speech, he said he hoped to return here five years from now" Indl- eating his retirement was not en- tirely to his liking.
 Late in the summer he returned from New York to his summer home at Hadiyme, where he had built a castle overlooking the wind- ing Connecticut river. It was there that he entertained his guests with d miniature railroad which toured the spacious grounds.
 He was born at Hartford July "A, 1855, the son of Francis and Eliza beth Daggert Hooker Gillette. His father was former U. s. senator and active in Hartford and state politics for many years.
 Educated at Yale, Harvard, and Massachusetts Fine Arts Institute, he entered theatricals at the age of 9, first appearaing in New Orleans in play called Across the Contl- 1ient".
 In the fall of the same year he played the role of Guzman in Faint Heart Ne'er Won Fair Lady" at the old Globe theater, Boston.
 His first outstanding success was in the role of Prince Florian in Gill; bert's Broken Hearts.
 His first appearance in the Conan Doyle detective mysteries was on Nov. 6, 1899. Intermittertly he played the character of the famous defective for thirty-eight years and as late as just few years ago. sOn three occasions he announced hio definite" retirement from the stage that he might continue his writings on the history of the the ater and amuse himself with his miniature railroad and at the castle, which he built in 1919. Thrice he WIS called back through persuasion of friends. Several years ago while touring the east in connection with the centennial of Mark Twain whom iie knew personally and whose works l,o studied avidly, he succumbed to the latest "call" to return to the fpotlights. ,"Find me that play" he wired John Golden i1npatiently.
 t"Three Wise Fools" was suggested and Gillette forsook the Connecticut river valley again for what was des- tined to be his last series of public appearances.
 Gillette was unmarried. His near est surviving relatives are two nieces Mrs. Gillette Nichols, New York City and Miss Ives Gillette, Des Moines, Ia., and cousin, Joseph K. Hooker, Hartford, an insurance company executive.
 Funeral arrangements were not immediately announced.

Mem to temporary homes in France, Great Britain and the Scandinavian Countries.
 < Horror spread through the demo- cratic countries of Europe at the stories coming from the loyalist side in Spain. As the nationalists ad- vance on Bilbao, it is asserted, great squadrons of bombing planes rain incendiary bombs on town and vile lhge and then, when the population Eees, descend to bomb and machine gun the people as they seek safety dong the roads and in the fields.
 The flames of burning towns are making day of night al! ever the area. The nationalistS blame ioyalist iRlcendiaries. The loyalists charge l,nqualifiedly not only that national ist planes are doing the destruction,
