Superior Court Judge Rufus Booth of New Haven has granted permis- sion to Walter Perry, successor re- ceiver of the Merchants Trust Com pany and state bank commissioner, to compromise a debt of David and Julia Stein.

 The debt was based on three promissory notes of $850, $750 and
 $3,O0O executed October 17, 1880 November 10, 1881, and December 2, 1882, respectively. The first note was executed by David Stein, the second by Morris Siller and endorsed by MT. Stein, and the third was executed by MT. Stein and endorsed by Julia Stein. The interest due was not computed in the request for compromise. Authority for settle ment was given by the New Haven jurist since the superior court here is now in summer recess.

A total of lso divorces, Water bury's contribution to Connecti- cuts rapidly increasing divorce rate, were granted in superior court during the past year, according to figures obtained from records in the court clerks office. The amount is B, a protentious figure itself, more than for the previous year. The legal separations have in- volved a grand total of 213 minor children, statistics reveal.
 Whether the newly created do- mestic relations sessions to come into being August 1 will decrease the number of divorces or lower the figure of children affected is 8 sub- ject of speculation. Under the new regulations uncontested divorces, of which there were 129 during the past year, will be tried at private

All members of the Junior Victory Corps who are 12 years or older are eligible to take thorough course in Craftsmanship under a very com- petent instructor. This course, as announced above is designed to cost the corps members as little as pos sible. After careful consideration and study by the J. V. A. officials this course was adopted as a part of tife training of J. V. A. members.
 This course will not only give the members some valuable training now, but 1t will probably be an asset to them later. The course as 1t is designed now costs only 10 cents per lesson. This low figure covers the cost of both ammunition and in struction, and in the near future when some of the members learn how to shoot fairly well, numerous contests will be encouraged. But this course could onl be made possible

MEXICAN PLANT
 HEALS WOUNDS

Austin, Tex, (UP)) - Indian tribes of Mexico, noted for quick re- coveries from serious wounds, used a plant that American scientists to. day hope will end gangerne in war wounds and save thousands of lives In army field hospitals.
 The plant has been revealed as Castilian Malva. An unnamed Mex leo City physician called 1t to the attention of doctors at San Antonio, Tex. The Upjohn laboratories took up the search, and now, Dr. Carl Albers, associate professor of, phar- macy at the University of Texas here, is conducting experiments to determine how best to grow, harvest and cure the plant.
 Castilian Malva is a small leafy plant which grows in Mexico, Texas, California and British Co., lumbia. It is related to the holly hook and hibiscus in the flower plants and to cotton and okra among the food and utility plants. Though new as scientific medi- cine 1t has long been used as do- meStic remedy in Mexico
 It may be used equally well as a dusting powder, Salve or in liquid form. Physicians explain that its value rests in a power to arrest de- generation of wounded and infect ed human tissues. 'The use of malva will revolutionize the treat ment of wounded in this war;" pr. Albers predicted.
