BABY CLINIC OPENS, Fifteen Weighed at Milk Station; Another Chance Tomorrow. The first elinic at the Milk Station was held in the rooms of the Infant ‘Welfare and Milk Station on Thursday morning from 9:30 to 11:30, and will be continued on the same day and at the same hour every week. Dr. Ja- seph Robinson was in charge and it was well attended, for no previous notification had been given to the mothe Fifteen babies were weighed and advice was given when of a minor character, but not prescribed for. The measuring and registration of the in- fants that the government requires this year for the campaign to save 100,000 babies will be taken up at the following clinics. All those connected with the work of the station feel most enthusiastic and encouraged, as a be- ginning has been made in New Brit- ain toward the campaign, and no doubt these clinics will be well attend- ecd, for mothers are becoming awake to the necessity of paving particular attention to the child’s nourishment and details concerning its health. The children are the nation’s second line of defense. Abroad this is being recognized by government inquiries into the birth rate, the question of infant mortality and health conditions of school children. It high time this country took adequate action to preserve the advantage it now has in those respects. Underfed children can- not praduce sound men for America's work in the next generation. The choice ought not to be hard to make. From figures compiled by the Food administration officials, one-half of the babies in the country are deprived of their normal supply of milk because of high pric 0 it only shows the seriousness of the baby work, and it is becoming to stand as a great factor every day in our city, and no douht the babi to be cared for the coming summer will be larger than ever. Miss Kerrigan has taken up the work at the station this summery with Miss O’Dell, and under their supervision there will be much accomplished. New quarters are being prepared for the Visiting Nurses' association and Milk Station by the directors of the Boys' club in the house they own on Center street next to the Boys' club. The rooms for the Milk Station are near completion and it will not be long before they will be occupied. AVIN ROUND-UP AT New Haven, May 20.—Of the 125 men taken in a round-up of alleged slackers by federal officers last night at Savin Rock amusement places and elsewhere, 18 only were held by the commissioner today. It appeared that the raiding party used 50 motor cars of the state guard transportation unit under Charles Rohinson, while the military end was in charge of Colonel J. R. North of the second regiment. J. G. Begley, of Hartford, had charge | of the legal end. ROCK. 'METHOD FOUND TO STOP PROFITEERING New Taxes May Be Based on Corporation Reports Washington, May 29.—Corporation income and excess profits tax returns now being received by the treasury cepartment may be utilized by the government to check the war profi- teering which has been held up to public scorn by President Wilson. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo, in his official capacity, and in the public interest has every right to canvass these returns individually or in the aggregate, according to official interpretation of the law and regu- lations. It has been intimated in Washing- ton recently that some of them will show astonishing results of opera- tion. There is just one apparent method in which they can be used, however, and this is in the levying of the new taxes by congress. Secre- tary McAdoo can and undoubtedly will use the returns now at hand as a basis for suggestions to congress on the various tax items. Individual cases will he hard reach through tax levy, but it is be- lieved that various industrial or bus- iness groups will run parallel. Wherever this is the case it will be easy to reach inordinate profits and turn them back to the government through a special tax. It is the popular belief that tax re- turns are strictly confidential and a lheavy penalty is provided for dis- closing any information regarding them. This is true with respect to all individual tax returns. No offier of the treasury except those who must handle such returns are even permitted to see them, and a penalty of $1,000 fine with imprisonment and instant dismissal is provided for any government official or employe who uses or discloses any informa- tion they.return, This does not apply, however, to corporation, joint stock company, as- sociation or insurance company turns. Under the provisions of the Underwood-Simmons tariff act, Presi- dent Wilson issued an executive order providing: ‘“That any and all such re- turns shail be open to inspection only upon the order of the president under rules and regulations to be prescribed by the secretary of the Treasury and approved by the president.” These regulations were promul- gated and approved in 1914 and have never been changed. The regulation stated that the returns shall be open to the inspection of proper officers of the Treasury department. The secretary of the Treasury has the right of inspection of any or all of them at any time. The statistical Ji- vision of the Internal Revenue burean is now at work upon them to develop fully far official uses the returns of the existing tax laws. The secretary may examine and learn.the profits of any organizations to ferret out and check profiteering. Further than this, the records may be utilized by congress under proper certification in the framing of any Jegislation designed to check hugs profits from war. It is probable that they will be utilized to the full in this respect as well as a guide for in- telligent action in framing the new revenue act. to Arrested for Passing Worthless Check on Meriden Hotel. New Haven, May 29.—Claiming to be a member of the British Flying Corps, a man, who gave the name of Roy Dewitt McNeillls, was arrested in Meriden today and brought here charged with defrauding a local hotel out of $80, while he also is said to be wanted on the charge of passing a worthless check on a Toronto bank. MUST EXPLAIN FLOUR SALES. New Haven, May 29.—As the out- come of a raid made in Ridgefield on Monday by the Federal Food Adminis- tration, Howard W. Hoven, head of the Hoven Flour and Grain Co., and Genaro Franco & Son, both of this city, were to appear before Federal Food Administrator Scoville today to explain about shipments of flour which did not have accompanying substitutes pound for pound. TIn Ridgefield were found six or seven barrels of flour in each of ten houses. The flour was carted from New Haven by Angelo Torsi and Tonnio Me. merchant. Both the latter are aetained pending action of Mr. Scoville in the cases of the two licensed wholesalers. The matter of individual noarding of flour will be taken up later. a NTION.

M An- an An- In but CLINIC BATTLING - THE WHITE PLAGUE Over 200 —Tl;b;&losis (ases Known in City With the co-operation of the New Britain physicians, the tuberculosis clinic opened recently in Booth's biock will be a success and may ul- timately develop into . general clinic for the diagnosis of ailments and also a free dispensary. These last are merely hopes, however, and for the present the health department is eager only to cstablish the tubercu- losis clinic. The purpose of this clinic only to assure the proper medical care, treatment and advice to pa- tients who have been discharged from sanitariums, but also to ob- serve the condition of suspects and ta watch the development of chil- dren in whose family this dreaded white plague has manifested itself. The clinic has been in operation for several weeks now, and meets on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 3:30 o'clock. The rooms in Booth's block are equipped with everything neces sary, the doctors bringing their own instruments. A sot of delicate scales is the gift of Joseph R. Lamb of Larders, Frary & Clark.

The clinic will not meet tomorrow because of the holiday. But at Tuesday's session a half dozen patients were given ad- vice, Drs. Edward S. Grace and M. A. Kinsella being in charge. At the present time there are over 200 well defined cases of tuberculosis under observation in this city and, the authorities declare,, if more cases ceuld be found in the incipient stage and the progress of the disease close- I+ followed the mortality would be lessened. Upon going to the clinic the patient’s name, age, measure- ments and other personal data is put on a permanent record, as are the physical examinations. These rec- ords are compared each week and thus an accuratc record of the de- velcpment of the disease is kept and the doctors are better guided as to what trecatment to recommend. ass DEATHS AND FUNERALS Mvrs.

MACHINE RIGHTS BOUGHT AND SOLD MUSIC OF ‘AMERICA WRITTEN IN FRANCE Germans Adopt Tune Years After the English Since the beginning of the war Prussia has boasted often that Great Britain and the United States €ven their national anthems to Ger- man kultur, the one directly and the other at a remove of one step. Capt Perry Belmont, United States Arm Fas not only punctured this claim, but has clearly proved that the Teu- tonic sneer based cn a flagrant cese of plagiarism in the eighteenth century. He has submitted his find- ings to the British embassy at Wash- ington. Captain owe Belmont has the backing of many authorities to show that Lully, the famous French composer of the time of Louis XIV, originated the music, that Madame de Brinon wrote the words, and that Handel, the German composer, who has been generally credited with the author- ship of the anthem, really appro- priated it. Perhaps the most convincing in the chain of evidence which tain Belmont has produced in the memoirs of Crequy, which cover a greater part of the eighteenth century, the period ia which the tune was composed. "he author speaks of the deep im- pression the anthem made upon her vhen in 1714 she heard it sung in the chapel of that institution. She ferther adds that if her grandson, te whom the memoirs are addressed, desires to obtain the words and music he may easily do so, as Handel, a German composer, during a visit to Paris obtained permission to copy both.

They fully confirm her assertions regarding the =ssociations of both del with the anthem.

Translated literally from French into English they follow: Great God, Save the King! Great God, Avenge the King! Long live the King. Always the glorious, TLouis victorious.

Only casual reading of the words of the Handel version of “God Save the King" required to make obvious their source.
