This campaign is in progress all over the country, under the direction of state councils of de- fense, with the object af conserving child life as a war measure. The “Connecticut Baby Special” consists of an automobile truck fully equipped to carry on the weighing and measuring features of the child wel- fare campaign. This work has goms forward in the larger towns and cities and the ‘“‘Connecticut Baby Special” will take it into the smaller communi- ties. Miss Hennessey of the Hartford Visiting Nurses' asociation, a gradu- ate nurse, will go with the truck and be in charge of the weighing and measuring in the towns visited. The truck will be driven by Mrs. J. B. Wil- bur, Jr., of Hartford, a member of the Connecticut State Motor Corps. The ‘Connecticut Baby Special's” visits to communities of the state will start on August 21 at East Haddam. Towns in Middlesex county will be the first to be visited, after which the truck will go into other counties. The “Connecticut Baby Speclal” will re- main in communities for measuring children will be set up in schools or halls so that parents may bring children under six years for the attention required by the plan of the campaign In addition to the other material to be carried there will be a set of post- ers on child welfare work and a set of 50 lantern slides, which will be shown where there is proper equipment for it.

The chief question considered was whether it was wiser to establish special national plants for the manu- facture of shells, or to utilize the re- | sources for the work available. It was decided to follow the second plan as it assured quicker results. so Textile manufacture is the principal indu of the Manchester district, and at first it appeared that the ma- chinery used in the textile factories was entirely unsuited to munitions | production. - But by perseverance and | ingenuity the textile machinists have contrived to adapt their machinery so | well to the work that they are now | the largest shell producers in the | region. | At the beginning only shells were | turned out, but gradually the field of manufacture was extended until now | it covers, besides shells, airplanes, motor transport vehicles, guns, trench mortars and projectiles, hand gre- nades and bombs, mines, submarine engines, steam engines and turbines, | scientific instruments and gauges, and a variety of other munitions, ma- | fare.
