New Britain’s death rate for June compares favorably with that of other cities in Connecticut. The local rate based on the annual death rate per 1,000 of population is ten. The rate ity other cities follows: Bridgeport, 9.8; Hartford, 10.7; Meriden, 14.3; New London, 12.8; Middletown, 7.6; Waterbury, 10.9. The rate for the entire state was slightly .more than twelvé per cent. These figures are takem from the monthly report of the state hoard of health. @he causes of death in this city ere as follows: Whooping cough, 1; erysipelas, diarrhoea (under five years old).3; form of tuberculosis, 1; lobar ‘and bronchial-pneumonia, 5; vronchitls, 1; cancer, 2; accidents ana violence, 3; all other diseases, 26. Infectious diseases reported to the state health authorities from New Britain ivere as follows: Measles, 9; scarlet fever, 1; diphtheria and croup, 2%; whooping cough, 5; typhoid fever, 6; tuberculosis, 23. It is a noteworthy fact that the state board of health credits New Britain with a population of 50,201, a figure largely in excess of that erea- ited to this city until quite recently. Appended to the report regarding deaths and diseases, is a warning against unclean serving of soft sums mer drinks. The warning says: ™ As the warm months approach the so-called soft drinks become more and more popular. The writer wishes to call attention to the slack way in which many of- these are prepared and served. It is impossible for the department to correct all of the abuse pertaining to these popular drinks, hgwever diligent the employes may be. Many of the finest fitted places are careless about washing glasses and other utensils’ used for mixing utings (‘) g FLASHLIGHT U gome o for both protaction and With Whflcm and convenient, M A Tt s Vi o 5 Vs > |17 I ‘| Athletics Finally and serving the drinks and the water used for this purpose is often very dirty and seldom changed. The pub- lic is urged to inform itself as to how and by whom the bottled goods used by them are prepared and to observe when purchasing soda water, etc., at counters, the methods em. ployed. A word to the management of such places will do more to cor- rect slackness than many orders by the health department.” FLAG RAISING PRECEDES RAIN. Hoist Pennant, But Can’t Play Browns, Philadelphia, July 16.—A minjature cloudburst which sent players ana spectators scurrying to cover again interfered with the Athletics' third attempt to clash with St, Louls yes- terday and the double header had to go into the discard, to be playea when the Browns come back to town in August. Three of the four games of this trip Were postponed by rain. Although the storm prevented the teams playing it did not interfere with the raising of the world’s cham- pionship pennant. Just before the storm broke the two teams paraded from the plate to center field where Ira Thomas and Branch Rickey hoisted the huge blue and gold flag up the iron flagpole. Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, but the rain held off just long enough to per- mit of the hoisting of the rag. After that everybody went home when it ' finally ceased raining. MISTOOK BELL ON REEF. Providence, R. 1., July 16.—The mistaking by officers of the steamer Northland of the bell on Bartlett reef for that on Plum Island light was responsible for the grounding of the steamer off New London on June 4 last, according to a communication received from the department of com- merce at Washington by Congressman O’Shaughnessy, who had requested an investigation. The department's re- port says that the characteristics of the two bells are not similar and thst the accident “does not appear to in- dicate a necessity for additional aids to navigation.” OUIMET GENERALU FAVORITE. Newton, Mass., July 16.—Francis Ouimet, national open golf champion, who headed the list with a card of ’yfl:fiflUHSH STREET seventy-seven in the qualifying round of the state amateur golf champion- ship at the Brae Burn Country club yesterday, was drawn to meet A, E. Burr in the first round of match play today. Ouimet is the general favorite to retain the state title, which he won last year, but the good showing made by many other players yester- day led to the expectation of upsets before the playing of the finals on Saturday. Burr qualified with eighty- six. INJURIES PROVE FATAL. Schweringer, July 16.—Karl Gei- gant, a German aviator, died today from injuries received in a collision between his aeroplane and that of Lieut. Von Der Luehe, of the Meck- lenburg Grenadiess, on July 14, as both aviators were starting on a flight. The lleutenant also was severely hurt. NERVOUS CHILDREN * There is much criticism of modern edu- cational methods that require too much work of school children, allowing them too little time for play and preventing sufficient out-of-door exercise. When the study of music or any other accom- plishment, with the necessary practice, is 8dded, the strain is increased. Under these conditions the blood be- comes impoverished and fails to nourish the nerves. The child becomes restless, and. twitching of the muscles follows. Bometimes the child stumbles in walking | and drops what it tries to hold. Pallor, | listlessness, inattention, restlessness an irritability are symptoms thas early show that the blood and nerves are failing to meet the demands made upon them. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, a safe tonic for children, will build up the blood, strengthen thenerves and help to meet the demands of the. growing child. 8uf- ficient out-of-door exercise, nourishin food and ten hours sleep each day, wit! these tonic pills, will correct even lon; standing cases of Bt. Vitus’ dance and wil calm the nervesof the mostirritable child. ' Willi ’ Pi Pills, A booklet of The Nar on y ., Siediciae Gory Eebenacindy, N. ¥. any . Yo Washington, July 16.—When its breech locking device has béen per- fected at Watervliet arsenal the great sixteen inch gun, the biggest piece of ordnance in the world, which has just been shipped from Sandy Hook proving grounds, will be practically ready for service on the Panama canal fortifications. The carriage for this gun is now under construction in the Watertown (Mass.) arsenal. The gun probably will be taken back to Sandy Hook for tests after being mounted and will not be shipped to TR NG oy EY e Panama before next spring. Some idea may be had of the tremendous power of this gun, destined to protect the Pacific entrance to the Panama canal, from the fact that it is fitty feet long, weighs 152 tons and fires a projectile about six feet long. The projectile itself weighs a ton and is discharged by 665 pounds of powder. It requires eight to carry the powder charge. The gun has a maximum range of from twenty-two to twenty-three miles. It has sufficient power theoret- ically to pierce two feet of the best armor at the muzzle. At eleven miles lthe gun is calculated to pierce a twelve inch armor plate or any side armor afloat. When a shell leaves the gun it is revolving around its axis at about 4,000 revolutions per min- ute and develops a pressure of 38,000 pounds to the square inch. The pres- sure to the rear on the gun and for- ward on the projectile amounts to 7,600,000 pounds. The projectile velocity of 2,250 feet per second gives a muzzle energy of somewhat more than 84,000 foot tons. Army ord- nance officials believe this gun will be a tremendous instrument of peace when it is finally in position on the Panama canal. INDIGESTION VICTIM. President Wilson Forced to Cancel His Engagements. Washington, July 16.—President Wilson had a light attack of indiges- tion today and cancelled his engage- ments.

New Britain at Springfield for Twe Games—And Don’t Forget That Double Header Saturday. “Bill” Scinski's warriors are off to- day for Springfield, where they will entertain the good folk of the Supetior city for two days’ running. As Y Ponies are not going any too fast the local lads expect to make a big clean- up and cop the game tofay and an- other tomorrow. It will be the first occasion on which New Britain and Springfield have clashed since “$i" McDonald took charge of the Massa- chusetts team, But the big event in which local fans are more than interested is the juicy double header with New Lon- don on Saturday at Electric field. It will be the first burgain day bill staged in this city and with the lead- ers of the league as the attraction the bleachers and grandstand should be taxed to their capacity, The first game will start at 2 o'clock and frem then until the last man s out in the second game Scinski's boys will make a desperate effort to retrieve their fortynes lost to the Planters, If New London should by chance escape winning the pennant by & spell of hard luck New Britain ca be held accountable, as it was while playing against the Hardware city club that Quinn, the clever first sacker of the New London ciub, smashed his wrist, In the same game Barberich, a Planter pitcher, broke a finger. The loss of Quinn is a hard blow to Eu- gene McCann, ae he was considered of more value even than any of the twirlers. He was a heady player and could hit and run as well as play the initial sack like a flend. It is doub ful whether he will be able to get back into the game this season, Britain boys are mnt going out Saturday to put any more New Londoners on the hospital list, they are going to break their hearts by a double beating if such & thing is possible \ IT IS DEAL CITY The new 1914 New Bri(nip complete house directory in cal listing. gample taken from BERKSHIRE AV, from Berk- shire bridge to 516 Helen, 3 Knowlton St. Intersects Smith William H.
