Smoked Ham on Today Menu of Hard-L
By THE FIRE MARSHAL
{ about "Hard Luck.

ldlk dDOuL I1dIO huCk
 We're all suffering from it more or less, but poor John Polmon of 39 Sagamore avenue (we'll bet you don't know where that avenue is), felt 1t serously this morning when his little smoke house., just a big wooden box, with a glass window for observation, "over- smoked" and was burned up.
 Inside at the time of the fire were 30 pounds of ham and bacon, being "cured" properly for the Pol mon table. Burning sawdust was used to provide the smoke to cure the hams; the fire was started last night, and the smoke permeated the little place until stiff wind got underneath this morning and brought about a flame which de- stroyed everything. Everything was all right when John peeped into the house" just before he started out on his daily hunt for a job. He told us he hadn't worked since last September 9, and that Scovilps was his last place of en- ployment.
 Thirty pounds of pork is costly, running around SIS or $20.
 That's just what the fire of this morning will cost John, who has lived long enough in Waterbury to buy his little family a nice home. He has a wife and two chil- dren.
 We thought we detected a tear or two as we talked with him after his arrival from his unsuccessful hunt for work.
 He's young and looks as though he might do a good days work.
 Our hearts went out to him, be- cause only yesterday, heavy piece of timber badly injured his right hand as he was hauling cord wood to his home to keep the family warm during the rest of the winter months.
 Sagamore avenue by the way, is of Highland avenue. Acting Deputy Bloomfield led the firemen called.

Keeping Abreast of Latest Developments
 In The Swiftly Moving o-Japanese War
(BY NEA Service)

Eight months of bitter warfare, which have left a trail of more than a million dead and wounded, finds China today in this situation:
 The Japanese invaders have spread west and south from cap- tured Peiping until they hold all key cities of Chahar and Suiyuan provinces, to the westward, and most of Shantung, Shansi and Hopeh provinces to the south.
 Large Chinese forces are fight ing desperately to halt the south ward advance along the line of the Lung Haf railroad, China'S principal east-weSt artery.
 Meanwhile the southern army, having taken Shanghai and Nan king, has pressed some $50 miles northwest, constantly closing the gap between the northern and southern Japanese armies. Chi nese resistance against the nut cracker attack in this area has been bitter and featured by counter-at- tacks which have held back or null lified' all Japanese advances for several weeks.
 More than 10,0O0OOO civilian refugees have Streamed into the in- terior from the areas occupied by the Japanese armies, and millions of them are near starvation. Forced back up the Yangtze river the Chinese have established their new capital at Chungking, far in- land.
 Chinese air raids on Japanese Formosa have come either from Changsha, Nanchang, or Canton, at all of which places the Chinese have strong air bases. They may also have similar bases at Annoy and Foochow, much nearer For mosa. Japan is making interior preparations to ward off possible Chinese bombing raids on other Nipponese cities.
 Communist Chinese troops re- capturing some of the lost terri tory in Shansi, guerrillas harrass- ing the Japanese near Peiping, and determined resistance of an- other Chinese army south of Wuhu in the Shanghai area, are all secondary to the fate of the 100000 Chinese troops now be- tween the Japanese northern and southern armies.

State Supervising
 Sanitary Checkups
Waterbury Listed Among Cities Chosen For Inspec=
 ton of Water Contamination Feared

Tn order to eliminate any poSsi- bility of pure water being contam- mated because of faulty construc- ton of an interior water piping sys- tenn, after it is drawn from the public water supply mains into a building, the state department of health is promoting an inspection program in several cities of all buildings over three stories high, of all stores above one story, and all factories, theaters and hotels.
 Surveys are now under way ill Hartford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Waterbury and New Britain, the five largest cities ill the state. It is ex- pected later to extend the survey to include smaller cities and towns.
 Purpose
 Purpose of the survey, according to Leslie K. Sherman, assistant Sani- tary engineer of the department, is to prevent any possibility of such an occurrence in Connecticut as the amoebic dysentery outbreak in Chi cago in 1885 which focused attention on the chance of pure water becom- ing polluted after 1t has entered a building.
 Tn esurveys are being conducted by inspectors of local health depart ments after instruction from sani- tary engineer from the state depart ment of health who may be recalled by the local inspector for any re- inspection of unusual conditions. While proper protection of drinking water storage and cooling tanks is the primary objective, the inSpec- tion forms which have been pro- vided contain questions regarding other tanks, air conditions, refriger- ation and other mechanical equip ment in order to bring about the elimination of any cross connections which may endanger the public water supply system.
 Some of the results obtained thus far in the Hartfor dcheck-up are described by MT. Sherman in the monthly bulletin of the state depart ment of health. From March through December, 1887, the Hart fard board of health inspected 96 buildings. Twenty-three had drink ing water tanks and ten of them were not adequately safeguarded against possible contamination. Two drinking water cooling tanks were found not covered and located directly beneath sewer pipes. For tunately, the pipes were tight, but any leakage would have polluted the drinking water. Both conditions have been corrected The discovery of even one such condition would seem to warrant the time expended in these surveys, MT. Sherman de- clareS.
 Willingness Observed
 Some tanks not used for drinking purposes were found equipped with inlets of a type that permitted suc- tion of water from the tank into the water supply piping system should vacuum occur in the latter. Sev- eral direct connections to sewers from water lines through refriger- ation and air conditioning equip

Meeting tonight at 8:30 o'clock in the Community House, the Wash ington Park Community Club will make plans for two events which will be conducted soon in the Com- munity House.
 The two affairs are the St. Pat rick's celebration and the second Nabor Mite. Final arrangements are nearing completion for the former, but a committee will be ap- pointed to supervise arrangements for the latter. Several other mat ters of business will be disposed of at tonight's meeting, which is eX- pected to be as well attended as the past few sessions.
 Meeting Postponed
 President Edward Goggins of the St. Francis Xavier Holy Name So- ciety announced today that because of the novena now ill progress, the regular March meeting of the group, scheduled for next Sunday, had been cancelled. No meeting will be con- ducted until April, he said.
 The April meeting, however, will be the focal point of all men in- terested in Holy Name Society activ- ities. Highlight of the business of this session will be the start of prep arations for the annual Communion Breakfast of the society. During the past three years the society has conducted highly successful break fasts, and members have looked for ward, from year to year, to attend ing them.
 Committees to arrange the vari- ous essential details of the break fast will be appointed by President Goggins at the next meeting. AS usual, the breakfast will be held on Mothers Day.
 Earbenders Play
 Regular games In the Earbenders' "45" tournament will be played as usual tonight, although they will be started slightly later than usual.

(BY DIOGENES, JR.)

So there is comment on what Special Prosecutor Hugh M. AL corn, ST., found unprecedented" in the matter of the appearance of Attorney Josiah H. Peck, of Hartford, before the grand jury was convened Tuesday morn ing.
 An, but, yes! It would be "lln- precedented" to oppose inpanell- ment of jury comprising 14 Re- publicans and four former Demo- crats, four residents of Waterbury who have political and personal antiquities, in behalfeof a former city official, Daniel J. Leary, who served as a Democrat. Such is the repercussion today.
 Refuses to Testify
 Waterbury was stirred by the "unprecedented" attempt of MT. Leary through counsel to go on record as questioning the eligi- bility of much of the current pro- cedure. And, down at Bridge port few hours later, state official was refusing to testify be- causes his constitutional rights might be sacrificed by so doing, and was upheld by the judge.
 So there Is comfpent. When MT. Peck accused the prosecutor and his grand jury of being on a fishing expedition" he was writ ing prologue to the weeks de- velopments, however, as they can be speculated upon as of noon today ..
 Speculation
 Take the sequence of witnesses: Controller Sherwood L. Rowland, presumably to identify the rec ords, repeat his phrase learned from the printed word: By Sect. 104 of the charter, find that the former controller" etc, as it was delivered back in the first days of Mir.
