The New Britain branch sent the follow- ing: 1 metre gauze, 915; 3 metre gauze, pads, 205; large oakum pads, 49; cot- ton pads, 76; bandages, 234; sponges, 10; comfort pillows, ambulance pillows, lows, 15; ambulance pads, 4; fomen- tations, 40; eye dressing, 75; servites, 78; operating towels, 10; cut gauze, 39; waste gauze, 1; wash cloths, 70; wristlets, pair, 3; socks, pair 28; scarfs, 5; helmets, 6; total, 5,772. The Surgical Dressings committee wishes to state that they are contin- uing tg work at 169 Vine street. Al- | though the Red Cross and the Surgi- | cal Dressings committee are now af- | filiated and are both making the same standard dressings, there are | some of the smaller Allied hospitals | that are quite dependent on the sup- plies that the Surgical Dressings com- mittee, through the Peter Bent Brig- 289; { ham hospital in Boston, has been for- warding them already sterilized. From ‘the Military hospital at Mal- ta comes the following: “I have just received some surgical dressings— particularly sterilized gauze sponges and compresses—through the Liver- pool Women's War Service bureau from you and T felt I must write you ' a line just to let you know how very much I appreciate such splendid gifts. It is difficult for me to express in | words my joy on receiving such use- ful things, so excellently packed and in sych good condition.” The Director of the Civil and Mil- | i | itary hospitals at Carcassonne writes: “I have the honor to advise you of the arrival of the dressings which you have been good enough to send us and which are enormously use- ful to us in the care of our wounded. I am pleased to tell you that our | surgeons have declared themselves absolutely satisfied with their prep- | aration and sterilization. As our hos- pital is an important surgical cen- ter we should greatly welcome further gifts. Permit me to send you my most sincere thanks, which I beg you will extend to your committee.” The president of the Union des Femmes de France, comite de la| Rochelle, says: “We have received | from the American Relief Clearing House in Paris a big case sent by your committee. Allow me to thank you heartily for that gift which has been of very great use to our hospital. We shall never forget what our friends, and now our Allles, the Americans, have done for us since the beginning of this war.” De. Moreau, medicin chef, at Char- tres writes: “I wish to advise you | of the arrival of two cases which you have kindly sent my hospital and I send you the deepest gratitude of the | administration of the hospital and of | the wounded undergoing treatment. | All appreciate the sympathy and the ! nobfe impulse of the great American | nation and do not doubt that with its | aid the Allies will succeed in reduc- | ing to terms that race which is prey- ing on the entire world.” Sister Peake, matron of the Hos- | pital Complementaire No. 64, says: ““Through the American Relief Clear- ing House, Paris, we have received two cgses of dressings, for which we are most grateful. We have 300 beds here, and have already been able to use a good part of the dressings you so generously sent us.” Through the courtesy of the Red Cross, this committee will be allowed to continue to send direct to these hospitals, which being mostly small private hospitals, and quite independ- ent of the Red Cross hospitals might otherwise suffer. That this will be much appreciated, the following let- ters that have been received indicate. VISITING NURSES’ REPORT Last Four Months Have Been Busy ' Omes for Those Attending to Ilis of the Poor. During the months of June; July, August and September the visiting nurses made a total of 2,280 visits to administer to sick patients, accord- ing to the quarterly report as read by Miss Sarah A. Hamrick at the meeting of the Visiting Nurses’ asso- clation yesterday afternoon. Although the assoclation engages four nurses, only three worked at one time dur- ing those busy months as one nurse was on her vacation all the time. On June 1 the Visiting Nurses had 32 patients, but this number has now increased to 76 at present. The headquarters of the Visiting Nurses’ association is now at the Boys’ club building at the Corner of East Main and Center streets and it is there that all patients go for mur- gical dressings. The following statis- tics show the variety of cases handlea by these nurses: Maternity, 65; co- litls, 24; infectious diseases, 16; acci- dents, 20; acute indigestion, 6; burns, 3; meningitis, 1; pneumonia, 3.

KLETT TALKS ON | JUVENILE COURTS i i Urges Paren_ts to Co-operate by Applying the Rod The meeting of the Parents and Teachers’ association of the Smith school last evening was a pronounced success in both a social and educa- tional way. The feature of the eve- ning’s program was a talk on juvenile «courts by Prosecuting Attorney George W. Klett value of juvenile honor system. follow: “The courts as well as other branches of industry have advanced and made rapid progress. The old method of prosecution has been re- placed by a new method. The new in which he depicted the courts and the He spoke in part as method now employed in most cities l GEBBGE W. KLETT is the juvenile court. Ben Lindsey of Denver was the first man to advocate this manner of reforming the young. At the time when he first tried his new way he was opposed on many sides. But the people, seeing the wis- dom in the new way, again appointed Lindsey judge, and so the ju- venile court was finally started: “For the first offense a boy com- mits he is not prosecuted. He is brought to chambers, where none but court officials and the complainant are allowed. He is then given a severe reprimand and then 1s let go. At this point it would be well to state that if the parents would co-operate with the court officlals and apply the rod the boy would not be likely to do wrong again. But in some cases the parents let the faults of the boy go unheeded. The boy thinks he is in the right and continues to do wrong. “‘On second offense the boy is kept overnight in the cellroom. After a night in a cell most boys are content to reform their ways. Newspaper re- porters are also requested to with- hold the names of the young of- fenders as far as_possible from the press. This request is made for two reasons. First it spoils the reputation of the boy in later life if he should reform, and second it makes him a hero among his friends and may pos- sibly lead others to be ‘heroes’ of this Also no record is kept at the court of first offenders. “The third time that the boy is brought before chambers he is sent to the reform school at Meriden. Upon his arrival at this institution he fis supplied with a card marked 12. After each month if his ways have improved a mark is deducted from his card. Consequently at the end of a vear he is supposed to be without one mark against him. Tf his marks are all gone he is allowed to go on pa- role.” Another instance of the worth of the juvenile courts was pointed out by Prosecutor Klett when he related the incident of what honesty will do. The incident happened in Denver. When a boy is sent to the reform school an official usually accompanies him with a mittimus which is given to the warden at the institution when he enters. Judge Lindsey placed the mittimus in the hands of the boy, telling him that he was put cn his honor. He was put on the train and went directly ‘to the institution and delivered himself. As a reward for his honesty he was given his imme- diate release. This goes to show what a boy will do when placed on his honor. The meeting last evening was opened by an address of welcome by Mr. Clarkson, president. Following him was the secretary, Miss Murphy, who read the minutes of the last meeting. Piano solos were given by Miss Clara Olcott and vocal selec- tions were given by Miss Marion Egan, accompanied on the piano by Miss Gammerdinger. Miss Helen Prest gave an interesting reading. The entertainment was followed by victrola selections and a social hour. Refreshments were served. NO POTATOES YET. Members of the municipal farm committee are receiving numerous in- quiries as to the sale of city potatoes, but as yet these potatoes have not been harvested and until they are the committee will be unable to de- cide the method of disposal or the pkice. The cabbages raised on the farm are selling fast and already al- most 3,000 heads have been disposed of. GASOLINE TRUCK WRECKED. A small automobile delivery truck, used by the Standard Oil company for delivering gasoline to customers about the city, skidded on Stanley streot, near Park street, early this morning and crashed into the curb- ing. The front wheels of the car were smashed. Now is Just the Time to Do That Papering and Painting. Interior Work A fine time to renovate your rooms with fresh paint and wall paper.

Plans are also being made for forming a Bear's class among the older Turners. Votes are to be cast to determine who is to be the head Bear.

' SCOVILLE TALKS ON FOOD GONSERVATION Addresses Elks on Necessity of Economy on Dining Table This war may be won in the kitch- ens of America! ! Robert Scoville of the committee on 1 food conservation of the State Council of Defense is authority for the above statement. Mr. Scoville addressed the members of New Britain lodge, No. 57, B. P. O. E., last evening at Elks’ | home on Washington street. He waved no flag. Nor did he make the eagle {scream or try to thrill the throng by | picturing Uncle Sam wabbling around |the ring with the Kalser waiting to { put over the finishing punch. But he did give a sensible, straightforward {talk, impressive because of its seri- { ousness, and told the Elks why Amer- ica must make sacrifices on its dinner table in order that her allies might be fed, in order that the men in the trenches might have beef and bread to give them the strength to strike the Prussian again and again. Mr. Scoville was introduced by ex- Mayor George M. Landers, chairman " of the committee on food conservation. Mr. Landers congratulated the Elks on the ready response they had made jto the food pledge cards sent out by his committee and informed the gath- {ering that Dudley T. Holmes, veteran | secretary of the lodge, had been the jfirst Elk in Connecticut to file his | pledge card at the office of the com- { mittee In Hartford. Mr. Landers also ! spoke briefly on what the committee {18 accomplishing. In introducing Mr. large model | Scoville, who owns a istock farm in Salisbury, Mr. Landers I said he wanted those present to listen “to a Rube who can't be fooled by any of the farmers who visit our of- ! fice—and some of them try it.” Mr. Scoville. emphasized the neces- !sity of economizing in America on { wheat, fats and other materials which 'are needed in Europe. He described 'the work of the food committee and , appealed to the men to help the wo- ! men conserve the country’s food sup- ply. Unless the men help, he said, the good effects of the campalgn will be | nullificd. {‘ After the talks by Mr. Scoville and Mr. Landers, the members enjoyed an old-fashion smoker, professional tal- ent furnishing the entertainment. Lunch was served. TO HANG ON NOV. 16, New Britain Murderers Taken ‘Wethersfield to Await Penalty.

STARVE IN BOAT FOR NINE DAYS Captain of Sunken Vessel Loses His Life, But Wife Escapes An Atlantic Port, Oct. 5.—Twenty- four survivors of the crew of the American steamer Itasca, picked up after being tossed about in an open boat nine days from the time the Itasca foundered, were brought here yesterday by a steamer from Southern ports. The Itasca. bound from Ber- muda to New York, sank in a tropical hurricane 250 miles off Bermuds. Captain W. Harold Bond of Rock- land, Me., went down with his ship. His wife was among those saved. The survivors, who were rescued about 250 miles off Nantucket, had suffered intensely from privation and exposure. Chief Engineer Elwell of Rockland, Me., died from exhaustion, and T. Smith of Bermuda, a fireman, who went insane and drank sea water when the fresh water supply in their boat ran out, died on the rescuing ship soon after he had been taken aboard. The crew abandoned the Itasca in two boats, but later those in the smaller of the two boats were trans- ferred to the larger one. Their only provisions were one and one-half casks of water, which had been care- fully portioned out, became so low that the shipwrecked party could take turns only in wetting their lips, and the suppiy gave out entirely two hours before thev ‘were rescued. At that time there were only two of ‘the, biscuits left. Ed For the greater part of the nine days stormy weather prevailed and heavy seas swept the craft, drenching its occupants and making it necessary to bail- frequently. When rescued Mrs. Bond was almost dead from ex- haustion, and all the crew were_ the verge of madness. € The Itasca, an iron steamship 1,416 tons gross, was owned in N bile, Ala. She was built in Wilming ton, Del, in 1871. B ELECTRIC COMPANY DIRECTORS. The Connecticut Light and Power company, recently formed when three small concerns amalgamated, met yet- terday to elect directors. The new directors chosen were E.
