It was a small and quiet street.’ Cedar street, to be explicit. No one was about. At least so it appeared. One man turned a corner. He started down the street. He is a man whose business sometimes calls him out of the city overnight. He carried a black traveling bag, not too large. Nothing disturbed the soltitude of the quiet street. The man wore rubber heels and made no noise. Dark sha- dows lurked in the dooryards. Suddenly a stalwart policeman ar- rived in the distance. The man became nervous. He felt conspicuous. The polisceman séemed curious. The man realized that rub- ber heels are sometimes worn by burglars. Apparently so did the police- man. The pedestrian began to remem- ber reading of mysterious black bags carried by burglars and bootleggers. The officer of the law turned back to Cedar street and waited. The man on Cedar street had fears of being required to open his bag on the street. His imagination conjured visions of shirts, socks, néckties, shav- Ing soap, tooth brush, collar buttons, etc., ornamenting the street corner to satisfy the curiosity of the suspicion cop. He proceeded, however, determined to beard Mr. Cop on his corner. He thought he would go right by the policeman without hesitating. He put on a brave front, threw out his chest, held of his head and strutted for- ward. His heart sank as the policeman laid a burly hand on his shoulder. In- stead of the deflant, “What do you want?’ he felt his teeth chatter in reply to the policeman’s “Here you.” And then his fears vanished in a golden blaze of pleasant relief as the policemAn queried, “Do you want to buy a ticket for the cops’ ball gama, next Wednesday?’ He doesn’t expect to see the game but he never bought a ticket more gladly in his life. [ IS FIRE BOARD HEARS ROUTINE BUSINESS Two Platoon System or Financial Sup- port of it Not Discussed By Commissioners. The board of fire commissioners met last evening but only in short ex- ecutive session. No business of im- portance was transacted and the two platoon system or finances for estab- iishing it were not mentioned. Selectman George Carter of Berlin returned a bill for services rendered by the New Britain department and which was charged to the town of Berlin. He informed the fire board that the property is in Cromwell and therefore that place is liable. The fire box at the corner of Arci and Walnut streets was damaged by an automobile owned by a Meriden man. It was voted to send a'bill for repairs to that address.” The monthly report of Chief W. J. Noble showed 22 calls duting that timae, 14 of which were still and the otber eight bell alarms.” Four fires were extinguished with chemicals and tan with water. Damage to buildings totalled $1,896.78 and to contents of buildingd $5,649.19.. The insurance on these losses amountéd within $20 of the total $7,545.97. © A total of 377,750 was risked in the fires. Chairman F. G. Macomber invited the commissioners, the clerks, and the chief to accompany him te Springfield on business and the trip will be made either Thursday or Friday. he civil service commission report on recent exams for permanent places in the department was received and I'aced on file. It was brought out ‘he callmen had not made as good marks in their exams as did others who have never been in the depart- ment. One lieutenant had a low mark in his exams, but Chief Noble pointed out that there is not a better man in the department at the present time.

The suggestion was made by Dr. R. M. Griswold, acting superintendent. The committee will report at a future meeting. Dr. Griswold told of the conditions found while examining men for the dratt during the war, where a large percentage of the men were rejected because of defective teeth. He also told of conditions reported by local charity organizations, where almost 90 per cent. of the children who are anemic and tubercular are found to have defective teeth. Dr. Zwick said that he found 99 per cent. of the pub- lic_school children needed dental at- This Store Closes Y HERALD, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1021. ondays During August. CHAS. DILLON & CO.

It was the general sentiment that jf such a clinic is established the board’ of health should take the ini- tial step and that such a clinic, affect- ing as it would the geéneral health of the community, should be directly un- der the supervision of the board of health. 7 James Patrick, William Bignaski and Gustav LaRosa wére granted per- mits for garbage collection. Thera seems ‘to be need for several more garbage collectors, according to Dr. Griswold, but because the price al- lowed by the city will not permit the present collectors to put on any more teams, there seems to be little pros- pect of having any more now. POLICE BOARD MEETS. The monthly meeting of the police board was held last evening with Stephen Robb in the chair in place of Patrick F.King. The list of appoint- ments for the department were re- ceived from the civil service commis- n. Chief Rawlings was authorized to look over the list and make rec- ommendations at the next meeting of the men he thinks most fitted for the appointments.
