Entire Block Wiped Out;
Is Of Unknown Species;
Help Of Plant Board Of
ficiaIs Asked

In statement made before
the Rotary Club yesterday, B.
Curry Moreno, wPA Area Super.
visor said that coconut and palm
trees are being killed off by .
plant disease, which seriously
threatens the palm variety Of the
city.
There is one block in the city
which has been entirely wiped
OUT, Mr.. Moreno said.
DIR. William r. Warren affirm
ed MFR. Moreno's remarks. The
question arose following COM
munication from H. F. Connable.
A Bureau of Entomology sur
vey was made of the local situa-
ton in the early Fall, and it was
then revealed that there were
diseases injecting the palm plant
life of the city, which were UNI
known to plant literature. The
advice was given to burn all palm
and coconut trees which showed
the manifestations of those dis
eases. but as far as The Citizen
can learn very little actual burn-
ing was done.
However, the situation even
then was much more serious than
the Bureau surveyors reported,
Mr. Moreno said, "and at present
has increased to an alarming ex-
tent Local opinion has been
expressed that the present dry
weather has accelerated the work
OF the unknown disease.
State Plant Board officials will
be contacted and asked for coop

FIying Fish Build Nests

Flying fish emulate birds not only
in taking to the air; they also build
nests. To be sure, their nests are
no more like birds nests than their
flight is like the fight of birds.
Nevertheless they are nests, with
the eggs OF flying fish in them. DR..
K. w. Gudger of the American Mu-
scum OF Natural History, in a re-
port prepared for the American Nat
uralist, summarized all the informa-
ton available about these fish-nests.
They are made in clumps OF float
ing gulfweed or sargassum, and the
stringy masses Of eggs are not only
sheltered in the nests, but serve to
tie the structure together. For a
long time it had been thought that
these gulfweed nests were the work
of the little sargassunfish, a fam
tastic little "finger-hnned' creature
that turks In the masses Of floating
seaweed.

Hartford, May 21. Auditing oi the 1897 payrolls of employers sub ject to the Unemployment Compen- sation Act by field representatives of the State Department of Labor has already begun, 1t was reported today by Commissioner Joseph M Tone, who said that the scrutiny has revealed that IS of the first 50 employers studied understated wages paid to their workers last year.
 Discovery of this fact has resulted, he stated, in additional contribu- tions of $676.l1 by the 15 employers to Connecticut's compensation fund. This amount includes the interest penalty of three-quarters of one per cent for each month the con- tribution was unpaid.
 The commissioner said that he felt there was no deliberate attempt to eyade payment by those who under stated their payrolls.
 Although the 15 employers un- derstated wages on an average oi $2,500 each when they submitted their wages records last year" he declared, it was probably because of misunderstanding of the law.
