SUMMER HEAT HARD ON BABIES AND AGED Summer heat in August took its customary toll of babies in this town, some of whom possibly might have been saved through the instructions that are given to mothers in the baby-saving campaign that has been undertaken _throughout the country this_year. Out of the total of fifty deaths so far placed on the records at the town ‘clerk's office, fifteen were of children of five vears or under. At the same time there were ten deaths-of persons sixty years old or over, so that the babies and the aged represent half the number of deaths in the town for August. Funeral Services in Lowell.

Redden of Den- ver, Col, Supreme master of the fourth degree section, Knights of Columbus, of his reappointment as masrer of the ma a for the district of Con- icut for- the two-year term end: ing June 30th, 1920. Thiy will the fourth that Mr. Lee has served as mas- ter for Comnecticut and during the six years that he has been in charge of the Connectieut district there has been a noticeable increade in the membership of the fourth degree sec- tion and an ¢nlargement of the fleld of activity in this department of the or- der that has been very cretiltable to the officials in charge of the distiict. Because the order of the Knights of Columbus Is devoting all its ener- Zies to war activities and because the fourth degreé section is the patriotic division of the order the work of this branch during the continusnce of the war, promises to be more exacting than at any period in thé history of the order, more particularly as the National officers are urging all sub- ate divisions to be active in every movement which has for its purpose the winning of the war. H REGISTRATION CARD 1S SIMPLER THIS TIME The first thing which the appro: mateiy 3700 unregistered male resid- ents of Norwich who come within the limits of the eighteen-forty-five man- power bill will have to do to get in Hoe for the draft is to flll out a registr: tion card, already iesued by the gov. ernment and now being sent out to local draft boards. The machinery which takes the toll of the new regiktrants is the same as two former drafts, but thi stime the registration card is much simpler than before, al- though at first glance it appears more complex because of the grater number of questions. X Each’ applicant will have to answer these twenty questions on registration day, which probably will come early in September, though the axact date has not vet Leen determined: . Name. (Give first name, middle name and last name.) . Permanent home address in full. Age in years, Date of birth—month, da: Oriental? Citizen Indian? > 9 on-citizen Indian? 10. Native born United States citi- ven? 11.' Nafuralized United States citi- zen? 12, Citizen by father's naturalization before registrant's majority? 1. Alien? (declarant). 14. Alien? (non-declarant). 15. If not a citizen of the United States, of what nation are you citizen or subject? 18. Present occupation. 17. Bmplover's name. 18. Place of employment of business —address in full. 19. Name of nearest relatives (1, wife: 2, nearest blood relation; 3, clos- est friend if no blood relatives). 20. Full address of nearést relatives. The thing which the government is stressing a little stronger this time is the nationality of the registrant. The question of marriage, military service, dependents, esemption and birthplace have no place on the new registration cards. They will be taken up entirely by the new questionnaires. There will be little change in them, in his opinion, except what is embodied in the law by Consressional action. Tt has boen determined upom=by Wash- ington that deferred classification, which will prove the biggest item in the new questionnaire, will be decided by the local draft board and mot by the registrant, through special claim. BIG TIMETABLES TO DISAPPEAR FROM STATIONS The removal of all time table post- ters from railroad stations and other ublic places has been ordered #y the United States Rallroad A@ministration: according 10 letters receitwd nere from General Passenger Agent A. P. Smith of the New Haven road. The letters state that the printing of the postars Fas been discontinued and that all ticket agents have been advised to niove posters displayed at their sta- tions. The result of the removal of the time table posters from the railrond stations and public places will mean a sreater demand for the folder time tables and much more work for the information officials and the ticket agents. Thus far no orders have.been timeta- although this sten may follow the remova! ot the posters if it be that the measure was taken for the sake of economy. OBITUARY Marshall Eliot Morris.
