Local Men Put to Plea Today For Soliciting
 Police Advertising

Three Waterbury men arrested . month ago in an alleged "racketeer- ing" scheme in connection with the sale of advertising for the state poe lice convention program were to be arraigned in superior court at Rockville today on charges of ob- taining money by false pretenses.
 The accused are Joseph Emmons, former supernumerary policeman; Joseph Spot" Teller, and Thomas Locke" Loughlin. The trio allegedly sold advertising to Holland county merchants on the promise that it would appear in the police conven- ton program. Authorities claimed that at the time the program was aready being printed.
 Emmons was the first one ar- rested, and police claimed he ad- mitted using his credentials in the scheme. He resigned as a member of the police department.
 Loughlin and Teller were arrested a few hours later.

reminded of the communicable con- ditions to watch for in their pupils to be referred to school physician or nurse. The health ofiicer Is in- terested in seeing that each child newly entering school, has e med. ical examination In order that phy- sical defects may be discovered and corrected early to enable the child to profit most from his schooling The health officer also takes the opening of school as an opportunity to encourage immunization against diphtheria and vaccination against smallpox, since there sometimes are children who have not yet received this protection.
 Doctor F'oote suggested that a great part of the health officers work is concerned with informing the people of hls town about the prevalence of disease and measures that they can take to avoid com. municable disease and to cut down the toll taken by conditions that de. velop in middle life, conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart and kid. ney diseases, With all his planning the health officer accomplishes It, tie If he has to work alone. Not only is 1t necessary that people take advantage of opportunities offered to prevent disease, but the health officer needs to have e supporting group of community leaders who will become advance agents ir spreading information on health This is Q task in which all can help and the stronger the support which the health officer has, the better will be the community health program

GOV. BALDWIN
 TALKS TO LABOR

New Haven, Conn, Sept. 7-(UP) -Gov. Raymond F. Baldwin told the 54th annual convention of the Con- necticut Federation of Labor today that We can best fulfill our destiny as Q Republic-as e preserver of Democratic institutions-by keeping America out of 0 European war"
 To enter the current conflict, he said, would mean that we are run ming the risk of losing everything that we Americans hold dear"
 American labor, I am sure, does not want war. Because war means the regimentation of our entire life war means the submergence of personal liberty and individual free- dom. It means the turning away from peaceful pursuit and the pro- duction of goods for peace- time pur- poses to the production of munitioas of war. It means Q so-called war boom.

IRELAND MAKES
 DEFENSE PLANS

Dublin, Sept. 7-(Up)-Neutral Fire moved swiftly today to set up emergency defense measures. Nu- merous reservers were called out, rigid blackouts were ordered. air raid trenches were dug and censorship was imposed on mail and telegrams. The government ordered Irish ships to obtain special licenses before un- dertaking voyages. Civil aviation was prohibited in certain areas. Forty workers were digging trenches in Mount Joy Square to accommodate 2.000 persons in the event of air raids. Sandbag- filling machines were tested. The mayors of various cor- porations appealed for workers for air raid precaution arrangements.
 Under orders invoked by the gov- ernment since the Dali cnacisd emergency legislation last week S-end, the minister of defense was em- powered to call out the remaining volunteer force. the minister of jus tice was authorized to prohibit aliens from entering Fire and the minister of agriculture was allowed to order cultivation of unused lands.

Public health is no longer emer- gency work, but requires long term planning by local health officers if cities and towns are to give their citizens the highest degree Of health protection, according to Franklin M. Foote, M.D., chief of the division of local health administration in the weekly broadcast of the state department of health. While spe- cial phases of health present press ing problems at times that demand urgent and individual attention of the health officer in the long run 1t Is the attention to all details of many sided program that enables him to strengthen the health of his community.
 Doctor Foote said that to mention Q well balanced health program, the health officer must be on the alert to command every possible health situation. For instance, the health officer must keep these matters in mind all the time, because If Q man builds house with an improper septic tank or cesspool this fall 1t may cause trouble to his neighbor's s next spring. Moreover, the health officer must keep up careful super vision of food handling and of milk supplies in winter as well es in summer. We know, for example, that failure to wash dishes thor oughly In eating places is responsible for the transmission of many infec- tions; and there Is feeling that the common cold, influenza, sore throats, and the germs of pneu- monia thus may be spread if the dishes are not sterilized each time they are used.
 Probably the most important health problem at this time is the return of children to school contin- ued Doctor Foote, Each year the health officer takes an increasing interest in this because he knows that child health is the foundation of community health. The health officer must be sure that the schools are healthful places to which the children may return, to see that drinking fountains, handwashing facilities, lunch rooms, and toilets are sanitary, to be sure that light. Ing and ventilation are adequate

 But when the war was practical ly under way the market reversed ita direction and in a few days re- covered almost all of the losses suf- fered since last April.
 LEARNED A
 FEW LESSONS
 Why? We have learned some les soas since the last war. When the last war broke everybody looked on 1t as an unmixed disaster and the markets of the world went to pieces But as the war progressed business men began to sec that war could have it's bright side-that money could be made out of 1t. That lesson is remembered.
 But have we learned all the les- sons?
 What are the stock-buyers gam bling on? That 1t will be long war9 That America will finally break down and start granting credits 10 England and France?
 If the war is not long one and If America stands her ground on not granting credit to Europe, the most the war can do is give us a mode- rate and wholly temporary surcease to be followed quickly by a severe collapse.
 VIII 1t be long warP That Is a field Of prophecy for the military expert.
 The markets action is e forecast that 1t will be a long war. But 1t is forecast by stock spectators, most of them complete amateurs in stock speculation and even worse than complete amateurs in military prophecy.
 If 1t Is long war, can France and England buy from us enough to make us prosperous without credits here7 They can indeed buy a good deal.
 France has just authorized the cabinet to draw up to 25 900 ,000, ,000

United States and fans out into an Atlantic ocean sea and air partol. It is a new wrinkle In neutral strategy.
 Tension eased here following Pres ident Roosevelt's proclamation . of American neutrality and order for the neutrality guard mount. He expects to be able to leave tomor- row for a weekend in Hyde Park, But he would make a quick turn about If an emergency developed.
 Prospects for his western trip to the San Francisco Worlds Fair are uncertain. It still is scheduled to begin about October 1. but Is as likely as not to be cancelled.
 New Proclamation
 MT. Roosevelt Is expected shortly possibly before he leaves for Hyde Park-to issue e new proclama ton extending the neutrality act to South Africa, which declared war on Germany last night. Tn his orig inal proclamation invoking the law Tuesday, the President exempted Canada and South Africa. units of the British Empire, because they were not farmally in the conflict, Canada is expected to declare war today, in which event the act would be further extended to cove the North American Dominion.
 MT. Roosevelt has directed Federal Bureau of Investigation G-Men to curb espionage and subversive activ- ities and to prevent anti-neutral developments In the United States and possessions overseas. The FBI recently has established insular offices to cope with spies.
 Military Control
 The Panama Canal Zone was transferred by executive order yes- terday to complete military control, Some naval strategists believe the first information Americans would have Of war directed against them would be dispatch from the Canal Zone reporting the destruction of some tramp steamer in the Canal locks.
 Further to bolster the American peace front, the State Department contemplates sending representatives to the forthcoming American Conference in Panama where the 2i American republics will discuss mutual problems created by Euro pean war.
 The air and sea neutrality patrol ordered by MT. Roosevelt will be carried on by several destroyers, Coast Guard cutters and the air craft carrier Langley. The Langley yesterday was ordered from its bace at Honolulu. T. H.. to the Philip pines. AS an additional precaution. the navy plans to recommission many Of the ii6 destroyers lying idle in yards at Philadelphia and San Diego, Calf.
 Eleven More Destroyers
 Eleven more destroyers were made potentially available for patorl work when the Navy Department cancelled Atlantic training cruises and ordered the following ships and their reserv- ists back to port:
 The Hopkins, Ruben James, Golf, Herbert. Truxton, Decature, Hamil- ton, Simpson, Claxton and Bobbitt. The reservists are from Atlanta, Georgetown. s. C.. Brooklyn, Cam den. Garfield, N. J., Erie, Pa, New port, and Providence, R. I.
 The patrol may range far into South American waters, although it need not, therefore, have any direct connection with South American shipping. The order contemplates a patrol in all American coastal wat CTS, insular and continental, ex- tending perhaps as far as 200 miles at sea. The patrol would ascertain
