In order to inform the general
public of the work it Is doing in OBJ

Three Connecticut cities Green
wich, Hartford and Stamford are
among the cities to win awards in
the 1913 National Health Honor Roll
program annually sponsored by the
American Public Health association
and the United States Chamber Of
Commerce.
Leading national health authori-
ties spent weeks grading reports
submitted by participating conlmu-
mites throughout the country. At
tainment of high standards Of ex-
cellence In protecting health In war
time formed the basis Of decision for
the judging committee. Emphasis
was placed on specific measures to
control commllnicab diseases such
as venereal disease, tuberculosis and
children's diseases. Sanitation, In
GLIDING the protection of milk and
food supplies: proper safeguards for
maternity care, child health and
welfare; effective health education;
adequate industrial health programs
and other health services were also
given primary consideration In max
ing the awards.
In commeding the winning COM
munities as well as all those that
participated in the program, the
United States Chamber Of Com
merce said: This achievement de-
serves the highest praise and re-
fleets great credit on the health ON
GERS, of1cials, voluntary health or
CARNATIONS, chambers Of commerce
and other community groups in
these localities for giving adequate
attention to the wartime health Of
workers and citizens. It IS our hope
that hte records Of the 1913 National
Health Honor Roll cities and COM
munities will be an incentive and
guide to all others to build up their
health and protective services. We
hold this an essential home front
contribution to speed the winning
of the war and to meet the great
problems Of postwar readjustlnent. !"

Any person who has, while driv-
ing during the dark hours on many
city streets and all state highways,
faced a single onrushing, glaring
headlight and wondered uneaStly
whether the approaching vehicle
was q motorcycle or a car, and II a
car, on which side the headlight
was located-or who has had occa-
sion to warn pedestrian or an
other operator of his approach and,
pushing the horn button, got no
reSult-or who has jammed on the
cars brakes to stop quickly and re-
ceived Intellectual or no response
or who has experienced a blowout

but propIn quity.

The other day at one of our local eating establishments as eggs were being removed from 8 case one egg was discovered with writing on it.
 The writing turned out to be the address of a girl. The egg was carried forth into the front of the restaurant and a soldier got all interested in it. He offer ed the waitress 20 cents for the egg and address and she sold it to him and he was last seen Fort Greedy bound with the egg being very carefully toted.
 We can just see a letter head ing for Seattle starting out "as one good egg to another" or "my curiosity has been egged on by your address" or some- thing similar.
 The address was Muriel Some body, Something Graham street. Seattle. We won't give it away because we wouldn't want to jeopardize the soldiers invest ment.
 But we would like to know what matches out of this little yolk.
