Following action of state authori- ties who ordered a ban on stray dogs on the public streets of Bris- tol, during the heat wave which fol- lowed a mad dog case in that city, local health officials stated today that it was probable that such a ban might be adopted in this town. ‘While it is belleved that Berlin is more apt to be immune from a mad dog incident because of the lack of congested conditions, it is reported that local officlals will take no chances and that unless the heat wave terminates within the next few days, dogs will be ordered hous- ed or muzzled. The large quantity of stray dogs in this neighborhood makes the work of the health authorities a welghty problem but it s stated that with the aid of police officials and dog wardens, the canines could be checked and any ‘“tramp” dogs would be confined. Residents, especially farmers, are anxious that steps be taken in the weeding out of stray curs which are reported as infesting the town. They claim that live stock is endangered by the dogs. Sheep Killers have been promiscuous on the town records in past years and farmers claim that the “stray” curs which are running about are llable to become killers during the hot weather. Kensington is reported as having the largest amount of ‘“strays”, an unofficial estimate putting the Qgflre at approximately 50. It is pointed out by local residents that children are endangered and that ofticial steps should wipe out the menace before the town is visited by a trophe.

Berlin to Play Despite previous announcement to the effect that the baseball team had disbanded, it was stated today that the team would meet the East Berlin Boys' club team at East Berlin this afternoon. It is probable, members of the team state, that the aggregation will dis- band after today's game, although popular sentiment among the resi- dents of the Worthington ridge dis- trict is reported as being in favor of the team'’s finishing out the season. As the uniforms and equipment of the squad were raised chiefly by popular subscription, local residents are disappointed by the team’s at- titude and claim that the defeats suffered by the squad have dis- heartened the team which showed considerable promise earlier in the season. Several warm comments against the coach who recently dropped the training work of the squad are current since the an- nouncement of the team that it would quit the league. Caustic comment has also swung to the Kensington Boys’ Club Junior squad. This aggregation was formed recently and heralded as being a snappy organization. One game, to be held in Avon, was scheduled and later cancelled. Since then the team has kept extremely quiet concerning its activities and local fans are anxi- ous to hear reports of the young- sters’ aggregation.

The sovereign George F. Mitchell, aminer of the U. §. Tea Control laboratory. It is his duty to de- termine by taste whether tea offer- ed for import to this country meets federal' standards for approximate- ly 2,000 grades, kinds and varieties, Directly under him are five men, one each at New York, Boston, Ta- coma, San Francisco and Hono:ulu. | Mitchell guides their work and ndardizes their technique. Last cear they brewed and tasted sam- from 11,000,000 pounds of tea entering United States ports. Al- most 500,000 pounds were rejected |as inferior in quality. The remain- der was ordered released from honded warehouses, It is only a few hours from the time tea shipments are docked un- til samples are tasted, approved for distribution to trade, or the im- porter notified or rejection. Few persons possess such cated palates. Government tea- tasters are selected after long years of training and experience. Usually “brought up” in the tea trade, they can tell blindfolded it they're tasting Darjecling or Mo- vune, Foochow Oolong or Ping Sue They can tell by the taste wheth- er the shipment contains artificial coloring or “facing” whether the | cxporter has sent the plant's ten- der top leaves. valued for the rich, | stimulating alkaloid caffein, or the ! oldcr stem leaves full of tannin nd weak, non-commercial proper- s, They can tell, too, whether the tea grew at high altitudes, best | in production of flavor, or the ex- act region in China, Tndia, Japan and Formesa, Dutch Fast Indies, Java and Sumatra, Africa and the Azores. It their tongues falter, if there is any doubt the flavor of the “body” of the liquod, meets federal regula- tions for that particular tea, sam- les are sent here to Mitchell. His | analysis is firal. A board of seven tea experts, appointed by the sec- retary of agriculture, has fixed uni- form standards to guide him. An adamant importer, insisting his tea is not below standard, has recourse to a Board of Tea Ap- | peals, three employes of the De- partment of Agriculture, whose | palates are called upon to deter- | mine whether the tea in controver- sy conforms to their delineation of tea that is standard. CENSUS CONTROLS NUMBER OF SEALS Those Along California Coast Are Regulated San Francisco, July 30 (®—Fate of the hair seal and sea lion along the California coast depends on a | census now being taken. If, a3 fishermen contend, the ani- mals are increasing rapidly, the State Fish and Game commission may permit them to be slain in such numbers as will hold their population stationary. Many fish- crmen regard these sea animsls as { rivals, Deputy Paul Bonnot is supervis- ing the investigation which will take two vears. At the outset he has reported finding several rook- | eries not previously recorded. His observations will cover coastal wa- ters from Mexico to Oregon, the latter state already having declared the sea lion a menace to fishing and employed a hunter to extermi- nate the animal. As many rookeries are on light- house reservations, a campaign against them must be conducted in cooperation with the federal gov- ernment and animals on the reser- vation can be slain only with per- mission of the Department of Com- merce. possessor {8 supervising ex- edu- FIRE TRUCKS COLLIDE Manchester, N.
