vails, there will be no replacements. MT. Jeffers said Saturday that the observance of 8 35-mile speed limit will prolong the life of tires by 40 per cent. Only thus will there be enough to last long enough.
 We are at war. This commission realizes the difficulty of war fac- tories which require speedy delivery of materials by truck; of bus com panieS which are now faced with difficult transportation problems; of war workers who must get back and forth on time; but we are con- vinced that all must bow to the compulsion of the crisis and observe a legal speed limit of 35 miles. An alternative is confiscation of all mo- tor vehicles, and essential trans .portation (and essential tranSporta- tion only,) furnished by the federal government. It is not defeat or dis comfort, ,-and the interesting fact is that 35-nile limit is comfort, not discomfort. You arrive almost as soon, and in much better mental and physical condition. Until such speed limit can be legally set and enforced, we ask the public to ob- serve it voluntarily, for its own good. By our vote today, we have urged immediate action. The crisis is at hand, the delay has been long, and public opinion, the handmaiden of enforcement, demands that more precious weeks and days shall not continue to flow by without con- crete action.

BRITISH DENY
 GERMAN CLAIMS

London, Sept. 20.-(UP)-A niin- istry of information communiQue denounced as untrue today the Ger man claims to the submarine sink ing of three Allied troops trans ports in the Atlantic. r
 Tt may now be stated that enemy claims to have sunk troop trans ports in the Atlantic are quite lln- trle," the coinmunique said.
 The denial of the German claim came after the Berlin radio for 8 full A hours had broadcast again and again, each time in more detail, statements that enemy submarines had sunk three big transports out of 8 fast, protected convoy en route from North America to the British Isles.
 Had the German claim been true a two-war Allied record of moving troops across the Atlantic without casualties would have been brok- en.
 Berlin in its claims even estimated the number of troops the alleged transports might have carried, put ting it at 13,000.
 Less than an hour before the ministry of information gave its denial, the Berlin radio said that the convoy attack meant the loss of 10000 soldiers, "equavalent to a battlefield defeat"
 (Half an hour after the ministry issued its denial, the Berlin radio broadcast a complaint in a Stock holm dispatch that neither Britain nor America had made any com- ment on the "Allied debacle in the North Atlantic"

Justice ELS Appeals
 For Safe Auto Drifting
Conservation of Manpower, Materials Vitally Necessary During War Period = 35-Mile
 Limit Adopted in State.

Supreme Court Justice Arthur F. ELS, chairman of the Connecticut Highway Safety Commission has is- sued the following statement:
 In times of peace it has been dif- ficult to convince the general pulp lie that the awful loss of life and maiming of human bodies due to preventable automobile accidents required drastic enforcement of our statutes. But now we are at war, a war for survival which requires that our manpower be conserved and our vital stock pile of rubber preserved. That stock pile consists almost wholly of automobile tires. Those who know the facts, led by our President, our governor, MT. Jef- fers and MT. Eastman, have come to the conclusion that very drastic measures must now be taken, and taken forthwith; principally that a speed limit of 35 miles be set by law and be rigidly enforced. The overwhelming weight of public opinion is with them. We believe profoundly in the patriotism and decency of our people. There is, however, a curious defect in human nature which leads many persons to shut their eyes to the hard, cold facts and to believe that the war will be a short one, that in any event substitute will be found for rubber; that some means will be provided so that life may go on as usual. Especially does it seem to be true that many of those who are now in the class entitled to new tires or recaps, have a tendency to be careless in the use of tires. The fact Is that speeding is still rampant. If such behavior pre-

 Britain's Admiralty likes candi- dates for the Sea Cadets even younger. Royal Navy men say that twelve is the ideal age for a boy to get interested in the navy and ships. However, there is no first hand activity until the following year. Then a potential officer can join the Royal Naval college at Dartmouth and take the full course for a commission in the Royal Navy. Or he can join the new Sea Cadets corps at IA, and get in his prelim- mary training for going into service.

St. Bonaventure, N. F., Sept. %. St. Bonaventure college upset a tradition of nearly one hundred years standing this week, when it was decided by the college authori- ties to admit women-StudentS as regular day students at the Fran ciscan Institution.
 In the past, attendance of women from Clean and nearby towns and cities has been limited to extension classes, held evenings from Monday through Friday during the school year. In announcing this change to co-educational attendance at the college, Rev. Cornelius A. Welch, O. F. M., Registrar, said: The present emergency has necessitated a change of policy for the duration of the war. Numerous appeals from women for day attendance have reached the Office of Studies, because of difficulties experienced in attending night classes"
 Rev. Cornelius Anthony explained that the difficulties included lack of available transportation, as well as the part-time employment of women in defense work. This made it difficult for many women students in this section to continue their college training and obtain college credit. For this reason" con- cluded Father Cornelius" the fac- ulty of St. Bonaventure col- lege, desirous of fully cooperating with the government in the pres ent emergency and of rendering every available service to this corl- munity, has decided to open the day program of studies to women students. Registration will be held

Fire Sale Stock, Rats

Merchandise Shipped Into State From New York Is
 Checked; Rats Raid Warehouse; Undulent Fever

Hartford, Conn, Sept. 90 = Des- truction of large quantities of foods found to be rat infested and unfit for human consumption was reported by Dairy and Food Com missioner John J. Sweeney today in his report of the commissions &C., tivities during August.
 Labor shortages at out-of state dairy farms and plants producing cream for the Connecticut market were reported by the dairy division and the fear was expressed that similar shortages would endanger the states supply of milk and cream
 Dairy Division
 The milk and cream supply for Connecticut increased in quantity and improved in quality during the month. Fewer samples of adulter- ated or otherwise sub standard milk were obtained than were found in preceding months.
 Inspections at the states distant cream sources plainly indicated that labor shortage, both at the produc- ing farms and in the processing plants is a very serious problem Areas near war manufacturing plants are affected most. This in- dicates that the farm labor situa- ton in Connecticut may become acute and must receive more con- sideration if dairy farmers and milk dealers are to continue operations
 A few cases of undulant fever were reported where raw milk was indicated as the source of infection In all cases the milk producer agreed to have his dairy herd placed under the Connecticut plan for the eradication of Bangs disease through the supervision of the Commissioner on Domestic Animals
 Statistics for the month show that 1,OO8 state and 105 out of-state dairy farms were inspected and that 3,233 samples were taken. In addi- tion inspections were made of 121 raw milk plants in 269 pasteurizing plants.

store selling groceries which were fire sale stock coming from large wholesale grocery in New York, in- spectors of the Commission spent much time taking samples and seg- regating the unstable merchandise from the good. It was necessary to have the store closed for several days pending reports on the andy sis of the products. All of the mer- chandise found to be unfit for hu- man consumption was segregated and held to be destroyed at later date. Due to the immense stock of merchandise 1t was necessary to station an inspector to supervise the entire work.
 During routine inspection, 1t was discovered that two wholesale gro- cery warehouses were badly infested with rodents. Large stocks of four, cornmeal, sugar, rice and other food products had been badly con- taminated and because of the quan- tity involved, it was necessary to station inspectors in these ware houses to supervise the segregation of the contaminated food and also teh building of rat-proof storage bins..
 At one of the warehouses, the following was the merchandise con- demned: three 98 pound bags of flour; fifteen A pound bags og flour, one hundred pound bag of rice; five 25 pound bags of salt; one 50 pound bag of salt; three 25 pound bags of cornmeal; six 25 pound boxes of raisins; two 25 pound boxes of prunes; and three cases of boxed candy.
 At the other warehouse it was necessary to place embargoes on twenty 98 pound bags of flour found to be rat infested. This flour was later released and denautred with charcoal in the presence of an in Spector of the Commission and then used for commercial feed. At this sam warehouse 83 bags of corn meal were found to be weevil infeSt- ed and this was likewise mixed with commercial feed and by verbal agreement was disposed of in this manner rather than destruction.
 The above warehouses are now in excellent condition.
 During the routine inspection work for the month the following foods were found to be unfit for human consumption and were immediately condemned and destroyed: 731a lbs. of meat products; 54 jars of dried beef; 34 pint jars of pickles; IS pints of olive oil; 73 jars of cher ries; 5 cans of grapefruit juice; 4 jars of orange peel; 1% lbs. of cheese. 25 lbs. prunes.
 During the month there were 1l9 frozen dessert manufacturing plants inspected l7 of which were uot-of- state plants. Twenty-one samples of frozen deSserts were inspected. One hundrel and one bakery in- spetions were made and 16 bever- age plants, one of which was an out-of state plant. One hundred and seventeen samples were taken and analysed to determine the per- centage of sugar contents and to see If saccharine was being used. Sixteen food manufacturing plants were inspected during the month and 2e5 Inspections of food products were made. It was necessary to take i8 samples of food for analysis. Four hundred and ninety-eieht ale ohollc bevera dispensing places were inspected.
 During tho month it was neces- sary to hold hearings as follows; on food, 8; frozen desserts, i: liquor, 1.
