Plant Bureau Detectives
Find Moles Assist Mice

WASHINGTON. The department
of agriculture has organized staff
of animal, insect and plant disease
detectives along the lines of the IA
nous justice departments agents.
The work of the Amen is I'M
der the direction of three bureaus:
biological survey. for animals and
birds. entomology, for insects, and
plant quarantine, for plant diseases.
Grasshoppers are the public enc
my No. l. among insect pests.
The most recent case solved by
the bureau OF biological survey was
that of the ground mole, accused by
gardeners with eating valuable
bulbs.
The bureau absolved the mole OF
actually committing any crime, but
found he was IAN accessory before
the fact
The myriad tunnels dug by the
mole often become runways for the
actual criminal, the small, short
tailed pine mice, or, in some in
stances, the field or meadow MICE"
the bureau said.
These rodents are the real Of
tenders They are vegetarians and
eat roots and bulbs of garden plants.
The mice may be destroyed by poi
son bait, but such repellents placed
in the runway merely cause the
mole to dig new tunnel around it.

Patriots Long Locks Led
To a Cut-on-Plait Order

CLEMSON, S. C.-Records I'M
earthed by student publication,
the r. 0. 7. c. Messenger, reveal
that haircuts were made compul-
sorry in the Revolutionary army to
keep American soldiers from look
ing more like wild savages" than
civilized men.
The haircut order was issued by
Lieut.. Col. Francis Marion, the
Swamp Fox, at Fort Moultrie, S.
c., January %, l778. 1t provided.
AS long hair gathers much filth
and takes a great deal Of time and
trouble to comb and keep clean and
in good order, the lieutenant colonel
recommends to every soldier to
have his hair cut short, to reach no
further down than the top of the shirt
collar, and thinned upward to the
crown Of the head, the foretop short,
with toupee, and short at the sides.
"Those who do not have their hair
in this mode must have it plated
and tied up, as they will not be al
lowed to appear with their hair down
their backs and over their foreheads,
and down their chins at the sides,
which makes them appear more like
wild savages than soldiers"
The order also provided for ap-
pointment OF regimental BARRIERS.

hey Say

We may be approaching the time
when choice must be made in this
country between a lower standard of
living as permanent thing or a
lower rate of taxation, in order to
stimulate greater volume of pro-
duction and consumption. Certainly
we will not deliberately penalize
ourselves and our children when
the facts are SO clear that the great
est market any of us can imagine
still lies falloW within our possibih-
ties. We have the opportunity be-
fore us of making the brightest era
of prosperity imaginable, in the
mere fact that none of the people
in this country has everything he
or she wants. Walter d. Fuller.

NO NEGLIGENCE
 IN FATALITY
Local Boxer, Bristol Driv- CT Exonerated By Acting
 Coroner Hennessey

Kenneth J. Pernerewski, of Long Hill road, known as Ken Perry in boxing circles, and John MacDon- nell, of Bristol, are exonerated of criminal negligence in the death of Morgan E. Culver, 9, of Wolcott, in a finding filed in superior court yes- terday by Acting Coroner William B. Hennessy. Culver died April 18 of injuries sustained in a three-car accident, involving vehicles driven by himself, Pernerewski and Mac Donnell on the Bristol-Waterbury road, Wolcott.
 In lengthy description of the &C., cident, Coroner Hennessy states that the weather was foggy, visi- bility poor, and the road wet. He points out that the headlights on the Mcdonnell truck, which was proceeding out of private way were defective.
 The Mcdonnell truck was stopped at the intersection, partially on the travelled section f the road, MT. Hennessy states, and the Culver car struck it, glancing of to the east, and coming to a stop horizontally on the road. The Pernerewski car which then struck the Culver car and apparently caused the youths death, could not avoid the accident, MT. Hennessy says. A
 Neither the speed of the Culver car nor the Pernerewski car was ex- cessive, the coroner points out.
 While "MacDonnell's acts and omissions set in motion the chain of occurrences which resulted in Culver's death, they were in my opinion, under the conditions out lined, somewhat short of gross and criminal negligence which the law contemplates," the coroner says.
 Witnesses examined included Mi- chael Churchelow, of Wolcott, a passenger in the Pernerewski car; Joseph A. Dennis, of Danbury; Edward A. Garthwait, of Wolcott; Joseph Foley, of Bristol; Edward Grossman, Edward H. Grossman, Jr., Gustave w. Grossman and John Legere, of Waterbury; State Troop CT Anton Nelson, of the Beacon Falls barracks; Kenneth Pernerew- ski, Carl Steinackle, Tony and Will liam Sytreski, all of Bristol, and Lloyd Williams, of Hartford.

Sealer Of Weights, Measures Job Seen
 As Wolcott Mans
Yesterday Rep. Waldo Bakeslee, North Haven, Successful in Campaign to Dust Incumbents-

cans were submitted immediately after the meeting to the judiciary committee, which will present them to the house and senate. Democrats in the senate may oppose the nam ing of three Republicans, but the slate is expected to pass in the house without any difficulty.
 Representative Whalen aided Rep- resentative Blakeslee in the fight against the incumbent commis- sioners, and was credited with a large part in the defeat of Messrs. Walter and Gerrish. MT. Whalen was one of the. original candidates for county colmmissionership, but had to withdraw when the dual job resolution was passed.
 However, the dual job ban as adopted by the house, differing from that of the senate, would not pre- vent the Wolcott man from being named as county sealer of weights and measures.
 Also mentioned for the post has been Robert Stone, former Water bury city sheriff. Indications were today, however, that MT. Whalen will be given the appointment if the slate of commissioners nominated yesterday is approved by the house and senate.
