What slackers ¥here are will be dealt with in all meverity by the national government. ‘The department of justice, through its great bureau of investigation, will at-/ tend to all those who wilfully or ne- Blectfully remained away from the registration booths. Having done with these, the government must_attend to those who, past the age of registra- tion, refuse to lend a helping hand in the great work of financing the war. By the very refusal to do this these. people lend aid and comfort to the enemy. this is treason. The ingrates must be punished. ‘Those native citizens who are un- grateful at this time deserve the se- verest form of condemination possible in a free country, in a democracy, the |. greatest on earth. - Those who are’ not citizens of this nation should be deported. ‘As Father Winters has put’ it, they are not wanted here. They are in the way. They should be sent out of the country in disgrace. This is the time when every man, and every woman, and every child old enough, must do. something for ‘the benmefit of the nation, no matter, how small the service is. Co-opeération is demanded. Sacrifice is wanted. The ingrates only impede progress. Away with them. ‘VISFTORS WITH A MESSAGE. is week the American govern- ‘ment is officlally ontormnlng the Bel- $lan mission. The diplomats who come 'from the stricken country of Europe are not in quest of:'gold ‘or silver from the exchequer of the Unit- ed States. They come not to seek ways and means of building up a greater army or & navy. They come in the sublime spifit of gratefulness. They come t8 give thahks to a nation that helped them whon they needed help. They come to pay tribute to & whole-souled republic, a nation that knows neither race nor creed when there is suffering to be alleviated. It ig good that the Belgian mission is in’ this country during the week set aside for raising money for Red Cross work. If there are any Ameri- can men or women who do not fully appreciate what work ‘of this kind means the members of the Belgian re- lief can tell them. When Belgium, the brave, was invaded by a mighty host, its men, women and children fell be- fore the terrible onslaught of the in- vader. When the homes of Belgians had' been 1ald low, when brave sons and fathers and brothers had 'been killed, the awful hand of war was 1aid heavily upon the sh(\mlder'-’ of the brave. Young girls were pressed into igneminfous. slavery. d men and women were yoked to; er like oxen and made work in the’ Bields for thelr triumphant enemies. These .are the pangs of war Americans have 'not known by actual experience. These are the things that demanded the attention of the Red Cross. These are the things that caused & drain on the treasury of that or- ganization which calls for this week's activity. These are the things that make it imperative that the American people raise $100,000,000 to carry on this ‘chief corporeal work of mercy. New Britain is asked to give $100,000, toward the fulfillment of this quest. An additional $12,500 is asked for the Y. M. C. A. war camps fund. If there is a better way of doing charity than by contributing to these projects it has yet to invoke attention. There have been times when the people of the United Statés would re- Joice in seeing members of the Presi- dent’s Cabinet called before Congress to answer publicly questions relative to their departmental work. = There are other times when such action on the part of Congress would cause a storm of indignation to sweep over the country. The cabinet is the of- ficlal family of the ‘President and, as such, is held sacred.. Therefore, this bill, introduced by Senator McLean yesterday, to permit members of the Cabinet to appear before Congress and answer questions in which their departments are interested, must die & natural death. There being some ‘question as to which committee the ‘bill “should be referred, old Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire ven- tured the remark that “it will even- tually go to the committee on dis- position of useless papers.” Which is where it belongs.

FIRE BOARD WANTS ORBINANGE GHANGES May Not Elect Permanent Chair- man 8 Meeting Tonight Much wider latitude of authority for New Britain’s fire department chief, increased scope of responsibil- ity and vastly greater range of su- pervision over routine matters prop- erly coming within his jurisdiction for consideration and settlement will be asked, it 1s today stated on official ‘authority, by common council amend- ment of certain city ordinances bear- ing on the subject in recommenda- tions and a communication to be sub- mitted at the next meeting of that body by the newly created fire board. Changed conditions, resulting from the abolishment of the historic safety board' through passage of charter re- vision amendments at the last legis- lative session, and creation of two separate boards, make numerous amendments in city ordinances de- sirable, as well as vital it is claimed. In connection with the recommended amendments gonsidered necessary, a number along progressive lines will be considered. At tonight’s session of the fire board, it is not considered perman- ent organization is likely. Lack of definite arrangements relative to sta- tus of officers and financial remu- neration is expected to cause tempo- rary delay in selection of chairman and clerk. It is also reported there is an uncertainty as to the identity of the one favored by the powers that be for the office. A. E. Magnell, clerk of the old safety board, will be, 1t is generally acknowledged, selected | as permanent chairman, upon formal organization, without opposition. Tonight's session will be mainly taken up with technical discussion of & number of reports and relative to the ordinance changes needed. It will be necessary, it was today stated, to go through the ordinances for- merly governing the old safdty board and separate details bearing on gov- ernment of the fire and police boards. A number of additional recommenda~ tions will be included. One will be that the chief have authority to send apparatus out of the city, in case of emergency, without consulting with higher officials, especially if they can not be easily located. Another ten- tative ordinance will be that a sub- stantia] penalty be provided for any- one convicted of interfering with the chief, in his capacity as fire marshal, while inspecting buildings or other premises. Still another proposed ordinance will have to do with the unlicensed burning of leaves, rubbish. etc., in gutters, alleyways and similar locations. Reports relative to re- pairs recently made to apparatus will be received. Bids will be received for providing gasoline storage sites for the department's use, providing of batteries and voltage tester. As soon as the desired ordinance changes wre made it is anticipated the board will get down to definite action. SWAT TIIE FlY ANI] KEEP BABY SAFE |llilk Station Gonducung Cam- paign Against Summer Pest “Baby bye, see the fly, Let us swat him, you and I1.” That is the slogan of the children who bring their baby brothers and sisters to the Milk Station these days. Those in charge at the station are conducting an anti-ly campaign, carefully instructing the mothers and children that the fly is not merely a nuisance, but a deadly enemy, and that the proper course is not only to swat him when he enters the house, but better still, to destroy his breed- ing places. The, phrase “‘Swat the fly” was in- vited ten years ago by Dr. 8. J. Crumbine, secretary of the Kansas State Board of Health, who is sofry enough now that he ever said it. He formulated the phrase with the idea that people should not only specialize ln swatting lone flies, but should eep away the whole kingdom : of fl while they were at it. For the easiest way to get rid of flies is not to have them, and the easiest way not to have them is through® destruc- tion of their breeding places. Swat- ting and screening are all very well, and neither should be neglected, but after all, the best time to kill a fly is before it is born. These little verses, attributing to Robert Louis Stevenson, are not so humorous as they seem: “The fly he lights' on all round He lights on you and me, Though reared within the stable foul He is swimming in my tea. His little legs they wiggle fast, All covered with bacilli. I do pot wish him in my tea Nor will I drink it, will I?" With “the girls learning so rapidly from the nurses how to take proper care of baby brothers and sisters, there is no reason why the -boys should not take a hand also, improv- ing their batting averages by prac- tice in fly swatting. The children all remember the old joke about rab- bits being such great mathematicians, @ecause they multiply so rapidly, and they have learned that the rabbit takes & back seat in comparison with’ the fly. A single female fly is cap- able of depositing over one hundred eggs at-a time and five or six es of eggs In its brief lifetime. Suppos- ing two flles started out in spring, ‘| with luck on their side, and not one of their offspring died or got killed, this Adam and Eve of flydom would be the proud parents of about 195,- 000,000 bushels of flies. ‘At least that in what the scientists say, who know all about fly genealogy. The following little fly catechism serves as a basis of instruction: Where is the fly born? In manure and filth, ‘Where does.the fly live? In every kind of filth. Are there files in New Britain all. the year round? Yes. In winter they ‘appear in warm rooms, and ‘where it is cold they hide in cracks until spring. What do flies eat? Nothing is top filthy for them. How much do flies eat? More than their own weight every dly. How. do flies carry disease? feed upon germ-laden fith, thelr bodies and legs are covered with thousands of fine hairs, and their feet are sticky pads. Flies fly from filth to food. Are files dangerous? Yes. They are man’s worst pest, and more dan- gerous than wild beasts or rattle snakes. Do flies kill' many people? During the Spanish-American war flies killed more American soldiers than the bul- | lets of the Spanish. i How many disease germs can flies carry? Over eix million germs have been -found on a single fly. ‘What diseases do flies carry? Ty- phoid fever, tuberculosis, dysentery, cholera infantum and quite possibly infantile paralysis. ‘Where are the greatest mumber of cases of these diseases? Where there are the most flies, ‘Where are the most files? there 1» most filth. X ‘Why should we kill files? Because they may kill us. How? By keeping stables clean and ‘removing manure and all other filth and trash once a week. After we clean up will files come to us from other regions? Flles sel- dom travel over five hundred yards from their breeding place. ‘Will New Britain ever be free from fiiles? Yes, just as soon as everyone does his part in his own house and yard, New Britain will be a city of fly-less stores, markets and homes. ‘Where HART PUPILS’ RECITAD Pleasing Program Given Church Chapel The pupils of Theron Wolcott Hart gave a pleasing recital at the Center church chapel last evening, those who took part being Helen Jennie Clancy, Angela Mary Curtin, Hazel Btta Har- ris, Arvid Norlander Larson, Loretta Monica McKeon, Lee Edward Paul- mann, Bdna ‘May Smart and Char- lotte Beatrice Trader, assisted by Mrs. Howard E.

There were no class groupings in costume about the qu., no bands playing, no parade le Field for the ball game, and no rollicking class dinners.

CURTIN DIES IN WATERBURY Beloved Pastor Called by Death Aiter Long Labors ‘Waterbury, June 19.—Rev. Jere- miah J. Curtin, pastor of St. Francis Xavier's church, died after 37 years of labor as a Catholic ‘clergyman at 6:55 o’clock last night at the rectory on Baldwin street. He was taken ill with acut indigestion Friday noon and had not left his room since that time. . Ho was attended by A Dr, Graves. Father Curtin was born in NeWw Britain, April 1866. He was edu- cated in St. Mary’s parochial school in that city from which he was grad- uated in 1872. In the fall of tho same year he entered Holy Cross college and was graduated in 1877 He entered the Giand seminary at Montreal in the year and was ordained by the Most Rev. Monsig- nor- Fabre, archbishop of Montreal, on Dec. 18, 1880. His first appointment in this dio- cese was as assistant to Rev. J.
