Having lived for month in a subterranean apartment in Ken tucky's Mammoth Cave in an ef- fort to find out how easily man could adjust himself to living cycle differing from the age-old 24-hour day, two Chicago univcr- sity physiologists find, on checking up, that they are not much near CT the answer than when they be- gan their underground test of 28-hour day. Dr. Nathaniel Gleit- man, director of the experiment, found that he was totally unable to break away from his regular routine, but his assistant, Bruce Richardson, adapted himself com pletely to the 28-hour schedule. In the picture above, Richardson, left, and Kleitman are shown at tacking some Kentucky hickory smoked ham and at leat, Richard son catches his nine hours sleep out of every 28, while Kleitman, who never becomes drowsy until after 10 p. m., records scientific data on his partners sleeping habits.

PATRONAGE FORCES
 BUS CURTAILMENT

Recent curtailment of bus serv- ice between Waterbury and Winsted was due to decline in the number of passengers, according to H. Price, passenger traffic manager of the New England Transportation Company.
 MT. Price, in a letter to Secre- tary Ralph Smith of the Winsted Chamber of Commerce, said: Tt is source of keenest regret to us that the volume of traffic has de- clined so appreciably as to neces- sitate curtailment of service be- tween Winsted and Waterbury. I earnestly hope that business condi- tions will improve to such an extent as to justify restoration of at least part of this service
 Bus service between Waterbury and Winsted was given every hour in the past. Under the new sched- ule only five round trips are made daily. The last bus from Winsted to Waterbury leaves at 5:25
 MT. Prices letter was in reply to a protest by the Winsted Chamber of Commerce against the revision in schedules and the curtailment of the bus service.

July-Month Of Tragedies! 3s1 Deaths Daily Attributed to Accidents March Holds Distinction of Witnessing Fewest
 Violet Deaths.

While summer is the healthiest season of the year fatal accidents during the vacation period take daily toll much above that for the year as a whole, according to Sta- tisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. This is due largely to the loss of life in July when more persons die as the result of accidental injuries than in any other month, while the month of August ranks second in this respect.
 An average of 381 deaths was the daily accident toll for July during the three years 1334-1936. This is approximately 97 deaths each day more than the daily average for August, and 133 more daily than in March, which has the minimum of all months for fatal accidents.
 Not only is July the peak month for accidental deaths in general, but also for deaths from drowning falls, railroad transportation accidents (exclusive of collisions with motor vehicles), from poison (exclusive of poisonous gas), from agricultural machinery and recreational ma- chinery, and from lightning! July and August, taken together, were first with respect to accidental deaths charged to cutting or pierc- ing instruments.
 Each July about 1,60O persons are drowned, this being one fourth of the annual total, and an average of 52 day, as compared with an average of 20 a day for the entire year. The daily average for June, the next highest month for drown ings, is 42. Even lightning, minor mortality hazard when viewed for the whole year. becomes serious one in July, accounting for 14O deaths, or an average of about five day
 Fatal falls reach their peak in July, and not as one might expect, in the winter months, when ice and snow cause many accidents of this class. Fatal falls in July average

An average of 500 cars or more a day is needed next week if all cars in the Waterbury area are to comply with the regulations. Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the Motor Vehicle Department has announced that delinquent car owners will be penalized.
 There are far less cars yet to be inspected than at the same period during the first 1897 period, but a heavy turnout during the remain ing days is, nevertheless, necessary if as yet untested cars are to be brought to the lane and approved.
 Officials at the testing lane are hopeful of fair weather next week, for not only does rain keep many car owners away from the lane, but it also makes the testing of cars proceed at slower pace.
 Under the law all cars are obliged to be tested and approved twice yearly. The second testing period for 1898 will begin late in the fall
