NEW LONDON IN GRIP OF SPANISH INFLUBNZA ‘With 470 cases of Spanish infinenza at the naval hospital in New London and its four temporary annexes, and a total of fifteen ‘deaths from the dis- tase, and from pneumonia, three of them Tuesday, there is little to show that a slackening of the epidemic 1s in sight in that citv. Among the civ- ilians, there are 426 cases of the dis- ease, with nine civilian déaths since September 15. Out of 38J1 school children, 850 are out, either through Guarantine or actual iliness.

Recommendation of a mine-mill town tax wiil be made by the selectmen o! l\orwich at the annual town meeting which will be held on the first Mon- day in October, a rate of tax thas is just about double what the selectmen recommended last year. Such a high tax rate, they explain, is caused whol- ly by matters of expenditure over which they have no comtrol, but which must be met by the town. All the regular items of town expenses are to be kept at figures that are practically the same as last vear, but the items that send the rate up are the $20,000 called for on account of the new Taftville bridge, the stats tax of $31,000, county tax of $18,578.35,and an increase in the interest account which is to be $3,000 more than last year. Buch an increase in the in- terest account is because of the nec- essity of having to borrow money for the state tax and for the school ex- penses, of which must be met Wm the @uney from tax.collections Ont\oo ;u'-ethouemt ummm‘“ ted receipts which has or- liquor ne-uap. dlm.rny been flmd at n.bont $33,000, has this time been figured at $13,000 in view of the uncertainty as to just what amount can be counted uponm from this source, With the 9 mills recommended for the town tax by the selectmen and the § mills which has been recom- mended by the school board to pay the school expenses, the total town tax would be 17 mills. Last year a town tax of 4 3-4 mills was reeom— mended together with a school tax 6 1-2 mills, making a total of 11 1- 4_ annual town meeting made the tax 12 1.2 mills, '!’he estimated expenses to be pro- vided for in 1918 and 1917 are shown as follows: - SCOVILLE SMASHES PIECE OF GERMAN PROPAGANDA The repeated reports that the gov- ernment might sieze and confiscate { |some or all of the home canning held by housewives has exasperated Con- necticut's Federal Food Administrator, Robert Scoville, to the point that he has again . unequivocally denied this silly product of German propaganda and has issued an open letter to the housewives of Connecticut. At last week's meeting at the capitol of Con- necticut’s Local Food Directors and home economics workers, Mr. Scoville was asked to issue an official denial of the latest pro-German canard which claimed that very soon gov- ernment inspectors would raid Amer- ican homes.and take over one-third of all home canning discovered. There is nothing to this cheap ru- mor, according to Mr. Scoville’s de- nial, which is as follows: “To All Connecticut Housewives: “In view of the revival of an un- tr&ceable rumor which spread through many towns in Connecticut and other states last winter, I have been asked at this time to issue another denial of this apparent- pro-German propa- ganda claim thaat the government in* tends to sieze any part of the home canning done by our patriotic house- wives. \ It would seem unnecessary to deny this palpable falsehood, were it not for the fact that the latest version is that the government would confis-- cate one-third of all home canning discovered. We have urged house- wives to can as much as they could and have endeavored to make availa- ble the necessary sugar for legiti- mate canning. It is annoying to find our patriotic people constantly sub- jected to specious pro-German pro- paganda, which of course we will of- ficially repudiate as frequently as it seems necessary. “ROBERT SCOVILLE, “Federal Food Administrator.” SMART HATS FOR CHILDREN AS FEATURED BY THE STORES In the season’s millinery the tastes and needs of the small folk have not been forgotten. Dainty and cute hats sure to prove becoming te their young wearars are provided this fall in most fascinating variety. There are quaint poke shapes, roll- ing sailors, mushroom designs, natty offerinzs in Tams these last in nearly every color imaginable, velvet hats. corduroy hats and others in velvet and corduroy combined. Then there are pretty things in felt, and there are brought into prominence the new overseas models, faithful copies of the shapes of headwear worn by the soldiers, and in the favorite khaki hue.. Much ado is made, also, about the khaki Tam o’ Shanter for popular wear. In general, the trimming of these cute lids for the kiddies is simple— wee chenille flowers, fur heads, pretty motifs of coral beads, ribbon bands with short ends, cord trimmings in colors, fluffy pompons and the like. . The best examples of these hats are as carefully tailored and finished as they might be for the most fastidious grown-up customer. ‘While the majority are on the utility dark shades suitable for fall and win- ter wear, there are not lacking plenty of gayer ones, in Liberty blue, rose, coral, scarlet, bisque and other tints desirable for the younger juveniles and for real dress-up oceasions. Stores featuring children’s needs de- vote a separate department to this juvenile millinery and what they have to say in The Bulletin's advertising columns today will apply as well to this line, in the matter of newest styles, variety and satisfactory prices.
