It is no new thing for communmities to refuse the use of their roads to motgr pleasure vehicles, and Nantuck- et and Bar Harbor both set them- selves against them; but the most dangerous place for motoring appears to be Prince Edward Island. . Frank Deedmever, the ' American consul at Charlottetown, writes that the recent 1911 session of the parlia- went of Prince Edward Island failed o repeal the law which rrovides that, any person guilty of running a motor vehicle upon any highway or other public place shall, upon summary con- viction, be fined $300. anl in default of payment committed to Jail for six monthe., This law defines a.motor vehicle to be all motors, altomobiles or any vehicle propelled by any power ather than muscular power, except such vehicles as run on rails and steam rollers. There seems to be an excellent op- portunity for any motorer unfamiliar with the law to get severely punished for his ignorance. THE CHESTNUT TREE BLIGHT. The forestry departments of half a dozen states have a difficult problem solve in the chestnut tree blight which was first discovered in New York and has since extended south to New Jersey and north to Connecticut Rhode Isiand and Massachusetts. It s estimated ‘that the financial loss to these states has been above five mil- lion dollars, Those studying the disease have found no better way to check the rav- ages of the fungi than to cut down the infected trees and burn the fungus They cannot safely be even cut up into cordwood, since that would scat- ter the spores instead of destroying them. This month, Prof. J. Franklin Collins of Brown university, an ex- pert of the United States laboratory of forest pathology, has discovered six stations in Rhode Island that show the attack of the disease and unless immediate steps are taken to quaran- tine it, it threatens to devastate all the forests in those sections. The assistance of the federal gov- ernment is being invoked to check this scourge. Aside from the commercial values menaced, the destruction of the chestnut trees would deprive the for- ests of their most ornamental featurs at about this time of year, or a little later. Their wealth of feathery and creamy catkins, frequently ranging over many acres in extent. is among the most beautiful of nature’s specta- cles, and to be deprived of it would be an aesthetic loss of no small mo- ment. There is a theory that the Japanese chestnut was the original, source of infection, but this has not yet been conclusively proved. THE MILK QUESTION. There is not a more serious ques- tion in the big cities than the milk question, for there is no source of nourishment more fraught with danger than this when the public is indifferent to it. One-third of the infantile deaths are traceable directly to polluted or doctored milk Chicago finds it difficult to get all the milk it needs and furnishes & warket for all the Canadian milk it can get with o duty of two cents a gallon upon it Philadelphia recently spent $8.000 to have a milk exposition for the purpose of educating the people in the nature and care of mili until it is fed to the consumer, In commenting on the milk situation, the head of-the Philadelphia health department said recently: “In the United Staies 300 epidemics of typhoid wave besn traced directly to contami- nated milk and much diphtheria and scarlet fever have come from the same source.” It is a fact attested by physicians thal even if pure milk is guaranteed by the city itself, the ignorance of many mothers will make it valueless n feeding it to children. Milk may be made unwholesome and positively poisonous by lack of proper care after it is received in the household. The proper care of milk is something the people should know more about.

Thompson of Pom- let. “Good morning, doctor,” Is a fre- uvent form of salutation for him to receive, this because many think that he must be a physiclan because he is housze chairman of the committee on putlic health and safety. He has been addressed as “Senator” by those who have mistaken him for Senator Ham- mond of Putnam, and while in New Haven, the other day, he heard the call, “Hello, General!” from someone who mistook him for General Averill. commissioner of domestic animals. Those who Know Representative Thompson will address him as “Judge” as a matter of fact he looks the part 1o fit any of the titles. With an amendment making altera- tion of the phraseologoy, minor changes, the senate on Tuesday passed the act revising the charter of the of Norwich, providing for a com- sion form of government, therein, the bill being immediately transmit ted to the house under suspension of the rules.

Dr. Barnarde’s Home: To the Editor of The Bulletin: Sir: The council of Dr. Barnardo's homes find it necessary to ask the public to assist them in coming to a somewhat difficult decision. Qeath of Dr. Barnardo five vears ago, the sympathy of the innumerable friends and admirers of his work has enabled us, not only to carry on this ance with his known gesire. We have hitherto followed with the utmost strictness his unalterable rule, that no destitute child shall be refused admis- sion: no votes, influence, no creden- tials have ever been required for ad- missien to Dr. Barnardo's homes. A child’s destitution, for which it can in no case be itself responsible, has al- ways been the only test. Now we are faced with this difficul- ty. Up to the middle of last vear the income of the homes was increasing as it has always increased. in almost exact proportion to the increase in the number of destitute chiliren who had te be provided for. Then there was a sudden fall, and at the end of the vear there was a deficiency of over £38,000. It is not necessary to go into the reasons for this pemg so—they are beyond our control and they have affected other charities in the country, in many cases to an even greater de- gree. The same thing is continuing dur- ing’ the present vear. Our income would be considered enormous, but it is insufficient to support the 9,400 chil- n who are now in the homes. We have practically no endowments, and for permanent relief we must either veduce our expenses or increase our (ncome. Are we to do the former? We have endeavored to maintain Dr. Barnardo's traditions of strict economy in every- thing except the proper plain food. clothing, education, and personal training of the children themselves. There are no high salaries to be cut down, no excessive staffs to be re- duced—we can economize In children onl This is the question which we have to decide at once. Because we have no endowments and because the homes depend entirely on the country’s daily appreciation of Dr. Barnardo’s work, the matter is urgent; but in six nths we could bring our expenditure within our present income, by aband- oning the rule which Dr. Barnardo fol- lowed for all his life, and which he has left for Lis successors to follow and mairtain. Ts it worth it? Looked at merely as a matter of pounds, shillings and pence, the thousand destitute chil- dren who would be retused admission would, if admitted, be worth to the country in the future many thousands of pounds as honest, hard-working eit- izens. If left destitute, who can say how much they will cost? Destitute men and women have seldom much future before them—they often have a very extensive past. Destitute chil- dren have no past—of their own mak- ing—and their future is almost a cer- taintv of an honorabie, independent life, if they are given the opportunity. which they can seldom make for them selves, and which the workhouse does not adequately provide. It i a good investment to give it to them. and by every canon of human conduct it is also an absolute duty. We ask the public to decide for us, and to decide quickly. If they are in any doubt, will they come and see for themselves? T am. Sir, your obedient servant, SOMERSET, President.
