Waterbury.
 "The effects of the use of the new six types of serum which the health department issued throughout Feb ruary." the health officer remarked, "created an unusual situation here last month. Where there were 16 cases of lobar pneumonia, six deaths resulted, preponderantly in cases where the serum was not obtained at the outset of the disease and, hence, proved intellectual. But in the 10 cases of bronchial pneumonia, seven deaths resulted"
 Dr. Godfrey explained that the effectiveness of the serum for the lobar pneumonia, six types of which have been made available with 24- hour service by the state depart ment of health laboratories for analysis of the germs for types, ap- parently had cut the death rate from the disease here, at least in terms of the less serious bronchial pneumonia. The latter disease, how ever, affects children more predon- derantly and, combined with other diseases, such as Whooping cough, many times proves fatal.
 While complete figures for this month are not yet available, the state department lists three cases of lobar pneumonia reported from Waterbury for the week ending Monday. There were 57 cases re- ported throughout the state as against 72 cases for the preceding week.
 No cases of diphtheria were re- ported here and one case of Whoop- ing cough. Two cases of scarlet fever were reported from Water town.
