Safety Record Here
 This Year Improves
Police Superintendent Advises Thanksgiving Drivers
 to Operate at Reasonable Speeds

won yetzand the toughest part of the fight is t0Ncome. These accidents are last period fighters. They've al- ways hit hardest in November and December. They're calling on their stars sleet, ice, snow and darkness Ito save the battle for them. You safety men will have to fight twice as hard against these accident stars in this final period as you have in the first three quarters. But if you do, you can win!' Accidents can be whippedl We're going to whip them this year. Now let's get in there and tightl We're going to whip them this year. Now let's get in there and fight!
 'sThe Waterbury police department has conducted an extensive cam paign to wipe out this year the afl- l1ual bugaboo of November and De- cember traff1c toll increases. If the reduction rate that prevailed during the first ten months of the yeaf can be maintained until January 1, 1889 the traffic death toll will be cut by two-fifths."

MEASLES SHOWING
 DECIDED DECREASE
Only Six Mild Cases Re- ported Here Within
 Present Week

Waterbury's near-epidemic of measles last week, when 34 cases were reported here, had dwindled to normal amount today, Dr. Edward J. Godfrey, city health officer, re- ported.
 Only cases have been reported so far this week and these are of mild form. The danger of the mild ness, however, lies in the fact that children may play with others and spread the highly infectious ailment, the city health officer, remarked.
 Comparatively few of the cases have been school children and the health authorities have not recom- mended closing of any school rooms because inspection of the pupils can be supervised better at the schools than at the homes, is the belief.
 Health nurses are making more than the usual number of inspec- tions to observe symptoms, if any, among pupils in school rooms where one or more children have come down with measles.
 Parents are urged to report cases to the health department when first symptoms appear, the rash which is prelude to fever and illness.
 Waterbury reported one case oi diphtheria last week, one lobal pneumonia, three scarlet fever, and two whooping cough to the state de- partment of health.

MRS. DENNY LOSES
 LATEST PETITION
Judgment of $25O Given Today to Attorney Her.
 man Weisfilan

Eleventh-hour pleas of Mrs. Elsie Hinman Lewis Dula Denny oi southbury and New York for con- tinuance in the superior court &C., tion of Attorney Herman J. Weis- man of this city against her failed today when Judge Earnest c. siHnp- son entered a judgment of $250 il favor of Attorney Weisman.
 The judgment will not become final until December 1s, however when Judge Simpson will hold court here again.
 Counsel Fees
 The claim of Attorney Weisnan is for counsel fees. He represented Mrs. Denny in her $5OO,OOO civil ac- tion against Mrs. Dorothy White oi Greenwich, which was settled for a considerable amount.
 Mrs. Denny and her counsel tele- phoned Judge Simpson, Clerk George H. Freeman and Attorney Marcus Weisman last night, and asked that the case be continued at least 8 month, and offering guar antee that the agreed $250 would be paid by that time. Judge Simpson said today that he advised Mrs Denny's counsel last night to "send MT. Weisrnan the check"
 Attorney Weisman said that it was the same old story and the same olo delay which Mrs. Denny had made since the litigation had started.
 Final Chance
 When Mrs. Denny appeared herV at hearing on the matter October 13, she agreed to pay $25O and cost of $.8.24 by November 13. Judg. Simpson today entered judgment 1T accordance with this stipulation bu ordered that 1t should not become final until December 19, thus giving Mrs. Denny a final chance to make the payment.
 In her telephone communication. last night, Mrs. Denny IS reported as having said that she was unable to raise the necessary funds.

Police Superintendent William J. Roach today joined with Comrnis- sioner Michael A. Connor of the state department of motor vehicles in urging motorists to exercise ex- treme care over the holiday. The use of caution and common sense by drivers, says Commissioner Connor, will make possible the saving of many lives in the heavy Thanks giving traflc.
 Commissioner Connor advises that automobilists making Thanksgiving trips leave for their destinations early and drive at reasonable speeds.
 Supt. Roach points out that Wa terbury's safety record this year has shown great improvement and says that cooperation of motorists in driv- ing carefully will make possible a further accident reduction.
 The following statement was is- sued today by Supt. Roach:
 Tomorrow marks the holiday of another Thanksgiving. Let us all of- fer thanks to our Creator that we are alive and that our families have been spared the misery and suffer- ing that can be brought into homes through motor vehicle disasters. Will Waterbury cut its traffic toll in 1888? The balance of this month and the month of December will tell. The first ten months of this year have brought unbroken progress. Up to November 1, two lives had been saved on Waterbuuy's streets and high ways. Figures for November are not yet available. But let's be optimistic and assume they, too will show a reduction. This means that Water bury enters the final period of 1888 with fine chance of slicing its slaughter on the streets and high ways this year. What are we going to do about it? Will we get in there and fight to save these lives, or will we smugly say, Isn't it fine that accidents are coming down?" and let things coast along?
 Tn many ways, the situation is similar to that of a football game. The safety team, after losing to &C., cidents for years, at last finds itself winning. It is leading at the end of the third quarter. Can't you imagine what the coach would say to the safety players? Listen, you fellows. You've all done fine. Your fight and teamwork have put you out in front. You have chance to win, for the first time in years. All right. But don't forget one thing-you haven't

TYD|NCS AID HIT
BY J. BOND SMITH
Counsel Criticizes Fellow
Workers for Attempt to
Justify Support.

j. Bond Smith, counsel for the
Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and a leader in
the United States Democratic or
ganization Of Montgomery County at
Takoma Park, Md, today issued a
statement criticizing his fellow
workers" who attempt to justify"
their support Of Senator Tydings in
the Maryland Democratic senatorial
race by citing the fact the next ma
tional election occurs in 1910.
Even Mr. Peter, our chairman, sug-
gests that we believe the question
should be fought out in the 1910
presidential election and not in the
1888 State and county elections" said
Mr. Smith, referring to the battle be-
tween Senator Tydings and Repre-
sentative Lewis which has divided
Montgomery Democrats.
These friends and fellow workers of
mine assure me that they are for
President Roosevelt and for the New
Deal and expert ip 1910 to defend the
Presidents Hhetai record and program
against which Senator Tydings has so
consistently voted" continued Mr..
Smith.
He declared "it is impossible for me
to follow the mental processes of any
Democrat who now processes to be q
supporter Of the President and his
program, who votes to return to the
United States Senate Senator whose
voting record shows that he has con-
sistently opposed and obstructed that
program, and who frankly appeals for
Democratic votes on that record.
THE President has now made 1t
abundantly clear that vote for Sena-
tor Tydings in this primary is a vote
against thu President and a repudia-
ton of his record.
mo Democrat in Montgomery Coun-
ty or elsewhere should labor under any
delusion as to the result of the defeat
OF David j. Lewis. It would be hailed
with delight by every Republican and
every Roosevelt hater from Maine to
California. John Hamilton would
probably issue congratulatory state.
