anemia and rat bite.
 T further find that over a period of several years representative of various welfare and charitable agencies have made earnest and sicere efforts to improve the living conditions of this family, but from all the information obtained by me it clearly appears that such efforts were of no avail and oftentimes were unfavorably received by the parents of Shirley.
 Without deatiling and describing the living conditions of this family, I deem it sufficient tfor the purpose of this finding and report to state that the home was unquestionably not fit place in which to raise child. Mrs. White was fully aware of her obligations to provide proper care for Shirley, and in fact she reluctantly admits that she now re- alizes that she failed to fulfill such obligations.
 From inquiry, investigation .au- topsy and inquest I find that MT. and Mrs. White are chargeable with neglect of their lecal duty to care for their infant daughter, Shirley However, I am of the opinion that this neglect on their part was not of such fragrant character as to either warrant my finding that it constituted criminal neglect O. 70 warrant my holding the parents criminally responsible for the death of their daughter.

CONNOR WARNS
 STATE DRIVERS
Only 2 Week=Ends Have Escaped Fatalities Since
 New Years

There have been only two week. ends this year that have been free of automobile fatalities in Connect icut, Commissioner Michael A. Connor of the Motor Vehicles De- partment warns Easter motorists. Last weekend and the weekend of March were accident free.
 There has not been an automobile fatality at any time during the last ten days in the congested urban areas which include about 68qo of the states population, the Comrnis- Sioner announced.
 During January and February of this year there have been fifty-two traffic fatalities as compared with forty-two for the same period in 1889. The department records show an increase in pedestrian fatalities, thirty-one occurring during these two months this year as compared with twenty-five during the same period last year.
 Twenty eight of the thirty -one fatalities during January and Feb uary this year were adults, all but one of whom were struck after dark. Last year twenty-one of the pedes- trian fatalities in this period were adults, nineteen of whom were killed after dark.
 There have been no bicycle fat alities during this period this year although one is recorded for Feb ruary of last year.

to attend Shirley. Mrs. White had some other person do the telephon- ing and the doctor was not appraised by the caller of the serious condi- ton of the child. It was late in the afternoon that a doctor came to the White home where, upon examina- tion, he found Shirley's condition to be critical and that she was beyond medica laid. However, in order to do all that was humanly possible, the doctor caused Shirley to be sent to the Waterbury hospital, where she died short time after her ad- mittance.
 ] "The examination of the body by Dr. Kirschbaum showed that the entire nose was lacerated by the rat bites, the right hand was badly con- tused and lacerated, and an area of gangrene from the bites existed be- tween the third and fourth fingers of the left hand. There was a large bed sore and bruises on the right side of the flank, and the degree of emaclation was such that the sa- crum stood out prominently, Dr. k1rSchbaum gave the causes of death as extreme malnutrition
