TEDE INFR, SIKTH ADLY KT Cornish, N. H., May 16 UP—Five persons, two mothers and three children, were dead today and a 15- * year-old boy, would-be rescuer, was in & serious condition after a fie = 'gwept through a one-room cabin Z‘home here yesterday. Kerosene used to start a fire was believed to have caused the tragedy. + The dead were: Mrs. William Gib- - son, 20; her one year old daughter, Elizabeth Anne; Mrs. William Tal- bot, 29; and her children, Pauline, 7, and William, Jr., 3. Robert Fec- *>tau, 15, a brother of Mrs, ‘Talbot, was dying at the Claremont Gen- eral hospital. Young Fecteau, the only witness, Ztold authorities that a short time after his sister and her children I’!ad gone to visit the Gibson family, " which lived a short distance from the Talbot home, he saw flames - pursting from the cabin. Running to the building. he entered and tried -to drag his sister outside but his clothing caught fire and he was . forced to drop her. A kerosene can found in the ruins **was the only clue to the probable ir.causé of the fire, The cubin and the Talbot home were half a mile from any other «.houses and the blazing cabin was reduced to ashes when assistance ar- ““rived. Dr. F. E. Glaggett, medical ':nmlner of, Newport, Vt., viewed < the bodies. NAIR 0 CENSOR BILLS 3.

A. M. PAONESSA, Mayor, Doris Nelson of 84 Chapman street, gets the dollar for guessing the silhouette of FKrank Vibberts of the New Britain Trust Co. and of the Burritt Mutual® Savings bank. The editor is sorry that she didn’t mention that five per cent interest now being dished out to the deposi- tors of the Burritt, but he's going to put over the idea by telling Miss Nelson that if she promises to put the money in the Burritt Savings bank it will be $5 instead of one. Maybe she has an account there, but that goes just the same, if she will put the money in that bank. Here's the prize winning letter: In Wednesday's Herald we rec- ognized a very popular and most es- teemed citizen, Mr. Frank G. Vib- berts of Sunnyledge. He has achieved great success as a banker, and is connected with the Burritt Mutual Savings bank and also the New Britain Trust Co. Who is the dapper young man to- night? The last time the editor saw him he was wearing a straw hat in- stead of a derby but that doesn’t make an awful lot of difference. The editor could guy him all night and he wouldn't get angry, for his business is going ahead at a great clip and well it might, for you can get some awfully nice things there. You can drop in anytime and get a free #garette, all lit and every- thing, if you run low on tobacco money. It's hard to inform him on anything from a style standpoint, but the editor went to sleep in his clothes last night, so he dropped in there (not to get a cigarette) this A. M. and showed him all the latest wrinkles. Now if you can't guess him, ring for Louis, he’ll know him. if that hint will suit you better, If the shoe fits you, put it on.

Opposes Threatening To Discipline Child “Fear is the worst enemy of men- tal hygiene,” stated Miss Hester Crutcher of New Haven, executive secretary of the Connecticut society of Mental Hygiene, speaking to the Mothers' club of the M. E. church last evening. She cautioned mothers not to use fear as a method of discipline as it inhibits and handi- caps. Miss Critcher said that a child feels the lack of security when its mother threatens and neglects to carry it out and at another time threatens and does carry it out. Wrong training leads to a fear of in- adequacy that troubles many an adult. The British army during the war used 37,000,000 18-pound shells. (Coffield protectors are particulars.
