BSSONS IN CANNING res and Demonstrations Every | tableaux given, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JULY 28, 1917 CHILDREN'S HOME IS HOME. WITH BIG H And That H Can Mean Heart or Happiness “Make yourself at home” is a com- fortable old saying, but as a rule it is the last thing in the world to be thought of in connection 'with an orphinage. Those in charge of the Children’s Home however, realize keenly the need of supplying some- thing more than mere food, clothing and shelter. Surprise meals are pre- pared, vacation days planned for, birthdays celebrated, hikes arranged, pennies handed out all around, and plenty of cuddling given to the little ones. Sometimes Mr, Klingberg appears at meal times and pats each child on the head in a speclal way the youngstets have in- vented among themselves, giving them all what the children like to call “home feelings.” It is a very jolly sort of rite. In order to make this feeling of protection and kindly interest extend still farther, plans are under way at present to form a sort of Children’s Home association. This will have two branches. Mutual welfare and self government among the children in the Home will constitute one branch. the other branch will be more like a school alumni association, whereby the workers and the chil- dren themselves will keep in friend- ly contact through the visits and cor- respéndence with the older children after they go out into the world to become self-supporting. Two, of the older boys have recent- ly left' the home to make their way in the world under - proper super- vision. Several other children are spending a week’'s vacation at the seashore or in the country as guests of kind friends and relatives. “I'm lost” sobbed a little toddler who strayed into the yard of the Cor- bin avenue boys' house a few days ago seeking solace from the other youngsters he saw there. The older children are all extremely kind and patient with the little tots, so as a matter of course one of the lads im- mediately set out to find home and mother for the little fellow carrying him “pickaback” for serval mfiles be- fore the matter could be straightened out so that he could return to a be- lated supper and explain his absence. Today the older boys finished gath- ering in the largest hay crop they have ever had at Rackliffe Heights. Boys will be boys, and an occasional recess has been taken these hot days for a refreshing dip in the old swim- wsday Afternoon and Friday ming. » popular lectures and demon- ns on canning, which have been | @d by hundreds of women at the mar school, are to be continued. instrations will be given every biday afternoon and Friday eve- Jand the city papers will give no- f the subjects of each demon- n. tflc canning classes are open to person can bring their own ma- or they will be furnished.

City Officials Trying to End Residents Following closely many complaints and an inyestigation by the board of health yesterday, today the board of public works has installed a sign at the Glen street dump designating just where garbage refuse may be dumped. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Reeks, su- perintendent of health, appreciating the annoyance that the bad odor has given the residents of Bassett and Glen streets, sent three men to the dump. They sprayed the refuse with de-odorizing agents and also covered it Wwith earth. While there a well known trucker arrived with a load of garbage which he intended to dump not far from the nearby dwellings. Upon being ordered to take the refuse further down he ex- hibited indignation, but finally agreed. South SAVES WOMEN'S LIVES. Hero of Main Strect Crossing Then Disappears in Crowd. Heroes are modest as well as cour- ageous. An example of this state- ment could well be given by citing what happeneg at the Main street railroad crossing last evening. A west bound train was starting from the station at 5:30 and the gates were lowered, holding the rush crowd back from the crossing. Si- multaneously a train from Waterbury speeded into the city.

They saw not the rushing train nor did they hear the frantic cries of the almost paralyzed onlookers. Then with the stage properly sect, the hero who is an unknown man darted across the tracks and pushed the wo- men who were in blissful ignorance from the path of the on-coming train in the nick of time. While the witnesses were heaving sighs of relief, the hero who had al- ready proved himself valient, showed that he was equally modest when he quietly disappeared in the throng. LOOK T0 GARBAGE FOR FOOD SAVING City Will Weigh and Record Such Reluse beginning on Monday of next week, Mayor Quigley states, the garbage col- lections each day will be weighed and recorded and from the gross weight will be substracted the weight of the wagons in order that the city may be able to furnish all desired information concerning the same to Herbert C. Hoover, in charge of the food con- servation, of the country. A few days ago Mr. Hoover telegraphed the mayor asking for information regarding the garbage and its disposal and last night a supplementary letter was received. In reply to the letter, which is here- with appended, Mayor Quigley assured Mr. Hoover of all possible co-opera- tion and promised to secure such in- formation as possible: “Yesterday I sent you a telegram in regard to statistics on garbage collec- tion in Your city which requires some further explanation. I need not em- phasize to you either the truth or the importance of the fact that one of the most significant factors in the winning of the war is the prevention, where- ever possible, of waste. Under the au- thorization of President Wilson, I have been doing what I could during the past two months to inaugurate a cam- paign of censervation, primarily of food, and secondarily of other valuable material which is now wasted and might be saved. We have reason to believe that this conservation cam- paign has been effective and is al- ready producing tangible results. One of the best ways in which the results of any food conservation work may be estimated is, it seems to me, by an ac- curate knowledge of the amounts of garbage collected in the great centers of population during the conservation campaign, as compared with the amounts collected when no special ef- fort looking toward conservation was being made. “So far as I am able to find there are no comprehensive statistics now in existence regarding the amount of garbage disposed of each month in the cities of this country. It seems to me imperatively nccessary that we should have statistics at this time, and therefore I am asking you if you will not help me put into operation an effective and continuing statistical survey of the gidrbage situation as a part of the patriotic service which vou and the citizens of your city are rendering to the country at this time. I am making this request of the mayors of about one hundred of the largest cities of this country, with the full expectation that every one of them will co-operate with me to the fullest extent possible in this matter. As fast as we get the statistical in- formation, we expect to use it for publicity purposes showing the people of the country in actual figures just what can be done on a large scale in the way of saving, if every individ- ual does his ‘bit.’ Concretely, what I should like you to do is to arrange with the proper authority in your city, whether a mu- nicipal officer or private citizen, who has charge of the garbage collection and disposal to furnish me by wire, as soon as the figures can bhe sum- marized after the end of each cal- endar month, the following facts 1. The amount of garbage lected in the month for which report is made. 2. The amount of garbage lected in the corresponding of the year 1916. 3. The amount of grease (or fat, in whatever form) extracted from the garbage collected in the month for which the report is made. ‘4. The amount of grease (or fat) extracted from the garbage collected in the corresponding month for 1916. If possible, the amount of gar- bage, tankage and press cake for fer- tilizer purposes oxtracted from the garbage during the month for which is made and for the cor- month of 1916, fully that the conditions of garbage disposal in vour city may be such that you cannot furnish items, 3, 4 and 1f there is any possibility of getting the figures ~in those items I want them, but if they cannot be had T hope that yvou will still make arrangements to furnish me with the data called for under 1 and 2. 1 want, if possible. to get these re- {urns beginning with the month of June 1917 (and, of course, June, 1916).

We are anxious to get this service in operation as on as possible, and it will greatly facilitate matters if vou will direct the proper person, who will compile these reports each month to communicate directly with Dr. Raymond Pearl in regard to the details of the matter, addressing such communications as follows: Dr. Ray- mond Pearl, care of Herbert Hoover, ‘Washington, D.

He was before Judge James T. Meskill on the three charges of reck- less driving, operating a motor ve- hicle without having his operator's license with him and operating a motor vehicle while under the in- fluence of liquor. Judge Willlam J. Malone appeared as counsel for the defense. The case came into court as the result of a collision in front of the Traut place on Plainville road, in which Cadarette and Samuel Cap- lin, an Arch street tailor, were con- cerned. ‘ FPoliceman - A. C. Malone, who passed the scene of the accident soon after it happened, was the first wit- ness for the state. He testified that he saw Cadarette’'s car on the south side of the road, against the bank, headed towards Bristol. The left front wheel, axle and a light were broken. When questioned, Cadarette was unable to show his 1917 op- erator's license. His breath smellea strongly of liquor and he was not in any condition to operate a car. Ac- cording to the policeman’s testimony, Cadarette told him that he was trav- eling along between twenty-five and thirty miles an hour, but said later that he was going between fifteen and twenty miles an hour. Policeman Hellberg, who went to the scene of the accident in the po- lice patrol, also testified that he smelled liquor on Cadarette’s breath and told him that he had been drink- ink and Cadarette replied, “So you say.” Promised Blue Eyes. Sam Caplin of 475 Arch street, the driver of the second car in the ac- cident, said on the witness stand that he saw a car zigzagging toward him and brought his car to a stop, realiz- ing that a collision was about to oc- cur. He said that D. Goldberg, who was in the front seat with him shout- ed to the driver of the Cadarette car to look out or he would run into them. Then the crash came. Gold- berg said that after the accident he asked Cadarette what was the mat- ter with him, but he was unable to answer. He then remonstrated with one of the other men in the Bristol- bound car, but the man told him to keep still, saying: “I'll give you a pair of blue eyes.” Cadarette said that he {is in the auto livery business in Bristol and also carries the United States mail from the station to the post office. He has driven cars in all more than 100,000 miles and said he had never been in an accident before. He claimed that he came to New Brit- ain for the purpose of charging the batteries in his car and had not had a drink all day, and that all that the policemen smelled on him was “Spearmint” gum. He also said that the girls in his party gave fictitious names because they did not want their names in the paper. Reporter Disguised As Cop. Silvia Buchard, who was in the car at the time of the accident, said that they gave the policeman the ficti- tious names, because they thought he to heed the call to the colors For instance: A blank was returned to this office yesterday by Hugh Miller, who has two sons fighting against autocracy in the ranks of the Cana- dian forces. They are both strapping, stalwart fellows. Both tried to en- list in New Britain, but were rejected because of minor disabilities. Their patriotic feeling was so strong that they went to Canada, paying their own expenses, and are now members of the New Brunswick Kilties. Such deeds as this augur .well for the patriotism of New Britain boys and it |is only right that their exploit be known and their names kept on file. In all probabilitfes, their enlistments were not credited as coming from this city and as the result of this campaign it became known that they are local boys. To keep a strict rec- ord of every New Britain man who has answered to call of the colors, /41l out the blank now. was a reporter. Miss Lillian Murphy, who was also in Cadarette's car, said that even before they saw him some men said Cadarette was under the in- fluence of liquor. Levi Buchard also testified for the defense. Lawyer Malone admitted that he was heated in his argument for the defense, in which' he protested against his client having been locked up while awaiting a bondsman, hinted that the state was using “strong arm’ tactics in the prosecution, and ex- pressed general indignation at the whole situation, and apologized for his conduct. The court found Cadarette guilty on the first and third counts and fined him $25 on the first and $50 on the third. He was discharged on the second. An appeal was taken for which a bond of $200 was fixed. A Domestic Dilemma. Newton Smith’s failure to support his wife and his alleged affection for another woman caused him to be in court this morning on the charge of non-support. On a previous appear- ance in court on the same charge he had been ordered to pay his wife $5 a week and did so for a time, recent- ly he wrote a letter to his wife ask- ing her to come and live with him in Wethersfield, but she testified that she would not do so because he was boarding with a lady friend, who lives next house. Although Smith earns $20 a week in a Hartford fac- tory he is said to have been sending his wife and nine-year-old child $3 a week to live on. Smith said that he lives in Wethersfield because he likes it and lived there even when he worked in New Britain. The court ordered that he be sentenced to six months in jail or furnish a bond of $400 to pay his wife $7 a week. He appealed and the bond was fixed at $500. Tt was said at the police station that his affinity was waiting for him as he came out of court, but his wife saw her and raked her over the coals in remarkable language. Fought Over Soldiers. Henry Gray, charged with breach of the peace and drunkenness, is said to have got into a fight on Park street with two men, who asked him where his boys were. He told them that the boys were fighting, one in France and the other in the British navy. The men cursed him for let- ting them join and the fight started. He was fined $5 for drunkenness. Steve Sald What ta ’ell. Steve Potash put a direct question to the judge to which the answer was $7. Steve said, “I kill no man, no steal nothing, What ta ’ell.” He way charged with having been drunk and committed a breach of the peace last night by calling a lady bad names across the hallway at his home, but said it was twelve vears since he had been to jail. Fred F. McLaughlin, charged with drunkenness and breach of the peace was sent to jail for ten days. The case of John O'Neil, chargel with breach of the peace, was ad- journed for one week in order that the state may try to get another ma- terial witness. The case is one con- cerning an alleged assault on ‘“Jake’ Jennings, a well known young Lith- uanian. EVENTS TONIGHT | Lyceum theater, masterpiece photo | productions.

The New Britain committee is a sub- sidiary committee of the State Coun- cil of Defense and works on co-opera- tion with that organization. The committee also has extensive powers in its line, these having been con- ferred by a speéial act of the last leg- islature. Mayor G. A. Quigley, by virtue of his office, is chalrman of the New Britain Food committeee. At the ini- tial meeting last night the other members present were Judge B. F. Gaffney, Harry 8. Tallard, W. B Rossberg, F. G. Russell, Fred Par- sons, H. R. Jones, F. H. Alford and ‘W. H. Hall. The other members were unable to be present. On motion of Mr. Alford, Mr. Tallard was elected food director for the city and on mo- tion of Judge Gaffney Mr. Jones was chosen secretary. Mr. Alford was | elected auditor on motion of Judge | Gaftney. | Investigate Coal Supply. The first matter taken up by the committee was the coal situation. Af- | ter some discussion the question arose as to how much of a supply of coal for domestic use there is in the city at the present time, how much has been ordered and how the estimated supply will compare with the estimat- ed orders. A committee consisting | of Messers Russell, Parsons and Jones was appointed to take {ip this | matter with the local coal dealers. The dealers, whose information will | be treated strictly confidentially, will be asked for an idea of the amount of coal handled last’ year, the amount expected to be handled this year and whether or not they expect to be able to supply all customers at a falr price. Upon the co-operation of the dealers depends the future action of the com- mittee. For instance, if the dealers can give assurance that they will be able to care for their customers the committee will not have to act. On the other hand, if the dealers show that they will be a considerable quan- ; tity of coal short it will be the duty of the committee, acting through the State and National Council of Defense to immediately get in touch with the proper authorities and make plans for supplying the necessary amount. Food Conservation Necessary. The question of the production and conservation of food for damestictuse was also thoroughly discussed and the same committee mentioned above was instructed to secure &s near an ac- curate estimate as possible of all the average planted in this city. The com- mittee will endeavor ta ascertain how much potatoes, corn, beans and other vegetables have been planted and the probable crop production, as well as the probable fruit crop. Then it will be the duty of the committee to es- timate as pear as possible the probable consumption of New Britain. If the production does not equal the con- sumption the committee will take steps to supply the deficiency. Following a general discussion on the great amount of waste fruit and vegetable matter because people do nat preserve them, it was voted that Judge Gaffney be a committee of one to| thoroughly investigate the advisability of establishing a community canning corps where fruits and vegetables could be brought and canned and sold to the public at cost. W. H. Hall was also instructed to secure complete in- formation concerning a de-hydrating machine which is used to dry fruits and vegetables. Mr. Russell and Mr. Rossberg arc a comittee to look up the | quantity of available canning jars and their cost. The committee then ad- journed until next Wednesday cvening at 8:30 o'clack, following a brief ses- sion of the Municipal Farm committee. ‘Indictment on Nine Counts and | son had ning station is the action of the -Sun- set Orchards company in its endeavor to secure such a station at its farm at Lawe Shuttle Meadow. This com- pany will have many thousands of »ushels of peaches and quantities of apples and, it is thought, if arrange- ments could be made to can these fruits on the premises they could be sold to the consumers at cost prices. Already Harry Wessels, one of the proprietors of the farm, has discussed this matter with the state council of defense and next week a gavernment cxpert from Washington will be here to take up the question in detail. 1f at any time it becomes necessary for the committee to secure quantitics & of food or storage purposes to stablizo \he price and quantity, there will ho sufficient space provided. It was re- orted at last night’s meeting that the basement o the Center church can. be ccured. The basement of H. R. Walker company’s storehouse has also been offered as has half of the base- | ment of the Beaton & Cadwell factory Other space can also be secured if neccessary.
