The Federation has again, during this year, considered securing a place that should serve as a rest room for women and children, and be used for whatever purposes the Federation might deem advisable. It has, how- ever, seemed necessary to drop the matter on account of the financial re- sponsibility involved. Loyal Supposters, I wish it were possible to enumerate individually the loval supporters of the Federation, and to express, pub- licly, an appreciation of the services rendered, but time and space will not permit. 1 would, however, mention the untiring zeal, and unfailing enthusi- .| for the g matter of having a one-session two-session show a total of about to 1 in favor of the two-session Dl Coroner Arthur G.

Game With Moosup. or 10 asm of our president, Mrs, [, H. Keach in carrying the year's work to a suc- cessful issue. Generous Cooperation, The Federation has had the sup- port of the community during the three vears of its existence as is shown by the fact that each year more than a thousand dollars ~has been contributed, directly or indirect- 1y, for carrying on its work. It has a work to do, especially through the vis- fting nurse, whigh can be accomplish- ed by no other agency, for the social service calls of the nurse include dis- tribution of clothinfl prenatal advice to expectant mothers, advice as to the care of babies, securing employment, securing medical attendance, report- ing unsanitary conditions, to the board of health, and visiting shut-ins, sup- plying them with reading and flowers. It can be readily seen that the inti- mate contact of the nurse with those whom she serves enables her to do much which no one else could accom- plish. As our people realize more and more the vital importance of the work that is being done, the substantial support of the past three years wil be assured for the future, and even added oppor- tunity be given the Federation to en- large the scope of its activities for promoting the welfare of the commu- nity.

Recommends Paper Balers. Superintendent H. W. Files has rec- ommended to the town school com- mittee that two paper balers be bought. It is estimated that from 100 to 200 pounds of waste paper is ac- | cumulated in_three schools in the city every day. Saving this and selling it at the present high price would help reduce the net cost of new paper to the town. The price of all grades of paper used in the schools has prac- tically doubled during the past year. WEDDING. Maynard- Lacroix.

A person in Putnam who_ has known him well for vears says he uses his left hand in counting money and do- ing most other things where one hand plays a part predominating over the other. This is of interest because the fracture of Elilott'’s skull is on the left side of his head. In straining for sensationalism there has been an effort to say that Miss Pettis was so kind to Elliott that he may be excused for thinking that she cared for him. This is ridiculous. Miss Pettis never did any more than show a courteous degree of kindness toward Elliott. She never gave him, people who know say, more attention than a teacher might show to a pupil and all the slush about sentimentalism in her relations ‘with Elliott, which were purely of busi- ness nature, are too silly to be given any consideration.

Charles Jacques, vears old,” a farmer of Putnam Heights, died at the Day Kimball hospital shortly after 10 o'clock tonight from a fractured skull received by being knocked down by an automobile from Delisle's garage about eight o'clock _this evening. Frank Vadnais was driving the car and took the injured man to the hospital. Vad- nais was returning from Willimantic with a travelling man as passenger. He was coming up Pomfret street in Putnam and just as he got to Canal street, where it intersects Pomfret street, Jacques and Frank Smith. a neighbor started to cross the street. Smith saw the car coming and step- ped back but Jacques kept on. The driver of the automobile steered his car to the left trying to dodge Jac- ques. Jacques kept on right in front of the car and just as it reached the sidewalk the right fender struck him knocking him down. His head struck the concrete sidewalk, fracturing his skull and causing other injuries about the face and head. The car made a complete semi-circle and when brought to a stop was headed at right angles from the way it was going. It ran over the curb and sidewalk on Pomfret street and headed north on Canal street. Vadnais was taken to the po- lice station where he was questioned by Capt. Joseph Ryan, and was then allowed to go. Vadnais sald tonight at Delisle's garage: ‘I was coming from Willimantic as I reached the Putnam street laundry just west of Canal street I was going about fifteen miles an hour. I saw two men start to cross the street and slowed down and was running very slowly.
