Comparison With Other Years. As may be readily seen from a study of the foregoing statistics, the last year has been a busy one in the proba- tion service. A comparison of the fig- ures herewith for the last thirteen years, or since the law became opera- tive, is interesting as showing the growth of our city and the usefulness of this form of social service: Men Women Boys Girls Total 1908 1904 43 o 30 2 75 1904 1205 100 5 39 2 146 1905 1906 67 5 34 1 107 1907 1908 86 2 25 1 114 1609 97 (8 58 2 164 1910 172 5 55 2 234 1911 1912 112 7 62 5 186 1912 1913 1568 12 104 4 278 1913 1914 190 b 131 2 334 1914 1915 171 15 89 3 278 1916 1916 200 20 118 2 340 1396 S9 746 26 2256 *Total wages and non-support col- lections from 1904 to 1916, $24,008.83.

If your hand, your thumb or foot trembles when you try to hold it still, if the lines are shaky when you write, if you have tremors of yourlips or chin, your nerves need strengthening. These signs often precede a serious nervous breakdown. In meeting this condition it i3 necessary to exercise cara in the diet and take a nervine tonic. Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills contain in- gredients that build up the nerves at the same time that they tone up the system in general and their value in preventing nervous disorders from de- veloping cannot be disputed. They are especially recommended for nervous, run-down people because they are a non-alcoholic tonic. If you have any nervous troubles write today to the Dr. Williams Medi- cine Co., Schenectady, N.

In this work as well as all other reformatory and remedial, in- cluding probation, the obligation is nutual and if the individual bene- tted does not will to do better there 5 very little hope for his redemption. It is not to be expected that any- thing startling shoula develop in the course of a year. I have tried faith- fully to aid in every way possible those placed in my care by the court and fell indebted to the heads of our factories and others for their willing- ness to help the men who through in- temperance had lost their work. There has always been a ready re- sponse to my oft repeated request for another chance in providing em ployment and the way made easy for me in the collection of wages as- signed in the different factories. Majority Appreciate Probation. On the whole the majority of the men live up to their obligations. Their appreciation of the opportunity given them by the court to do better keeps a large per cent. out of further trouble, By close co-operation with the Board of Public Charities, Charity or- ganization and other agencies distriss has been relieved in the families where it was found necessary to send the bread winner to jail and relief continued until the man was again working steadily and in a position to take care of his family. We still have “the boy” with us and do not consider he is any more of a problem, except in numbers, than in the past. Occasionally he gets so heyond control that there is no other course open but to place him where he will “stay put,” be under proper control and influence, recelve an all round education and be taught to make better use of his liberty the major number do not trouble the court but once and are grateful for the kindness and leniency shown. As in former years, only in increas- ing number, the boy this year has found healthy and profitable employ- ment during the vacation period on many of the farms in this vicinity and has returned better fitted to face the long winter months as a result of the outdoor life. In this connection I wish to express my thanks for the ready and hearty co-operation of the principals and teachers in our public and parochial schools and the interest manifested by them for the boys in my care. Praise for Miss Osborn, Time is still proving the wisdom of the appointment of Miss Elsie ¢, Os- born as woman probation officer. She has given generously of her time es. pecially in preventive work among the women and girls of our city and has always been found ready to co. operate in any plan for the welfare of those brought to her attention. We are still anxlously looking for- ward to the day when we shall have a courthouse befitting a of the size, population and wealth of New Britain. As has been so often em- phasized by others, the present biulding is antiquated, too small and altogether unsuitable for a court- house and is about large enough for Fire Department Co. 1, who now share it with the police department and court. Women. children and others having business with the court should not be compelled to come to such a build- ing in locality altogether unsuitable owing to noise and odors, besides hav- ing to pass through the police sta- tion to reach the court and proba- tion officer’s rooms upstairs. It often happens during a s on of the court that business has to be suspended owing to the noise from the fire de- partment motor -apparatus, passing railroad trains and wagons. This is especially the case in summer when the windows have to be kept open. The board of public charities for some years have allowed us the use of their office in the City hall for one hour on Saturday, afternoons. In- creasing business makes it unfair to trespass any longer on their hospital- ity and some place should be pro- vided where the women, girls and boys and others can call without be- ing made conspicuous. All the records other, will be readily understood by those interested also the confusion arising from having two offices.

Rawlings and Offi- cer Mathhias Rival, who yesteray | took Paul Hanson to the State farm | for Inebriates at Norwich in the polize auxiliary automobile, haq escape from death in the town of Franklin while returning home late in the afternoon. A huge tree by the roadside snapped in the gale of wind that was blowing and fell across the automibile. The fact that Officer Ri- val, who was driving, saw the big tree falling and instantly aplied brakes is al that saved the lives of the two policemen, as had the car gone four feet further the trunk of the tree would have hit the two men. The town of Franklin is about eight miles out of Norwich and at the place where the accident occurred the high- way is fringed with huge maple trees. A terrific windstorm was sweeping a narrow day and this tree blew down at the very moment the police car was pa ing.

Officer Rival was not injured, but the sudden stopping of the car threw, Chief Rawlings forward and his knee was injured by compact Wwith the frame of the car. Again at Willimantic the local men had some excitement. A big walnut tree blew down in front of them and they had to make a wide detour on the railroad tracks to get around it.
