Parents must call in physicians early in the course of the disease in order that proper preventive measures and treatment of the diphthe- ria case can be carried out by using diphtheria antitoxin early in the sick- ness. Measures used in combating diphthe- ria are: 1. Diphtheria antitoxin must be giv- en early, and the first dose must be a reasonably large one to cure diphthe- ria. 2. Diphtheria antitoxin (150 units) the immunizing dose must be given to all contacts—that is, persons who have been associated with the sick person. 3. The use of the Schick Test and the administration of toxin-antitoxin should be more extensively used, that children susceptible to diphtheria can be located and that an immunization last- | ing about -three years can be adminis- trated. 4. Quarantine of cases and and_culturing of contaets. The Connecticut state department of health supplies these products to phy- sicians through the local health officers of cach community. A pamphlet on their use can be obtained by any person by writing to the Connecticut State De- partment of Health, State Capitol, Hart- ford, Conn. Diphtheria antitoxin s given at times in too small doses. The ‘doses con- sidered by Dr. W. H. Park of the New York Department of Health as necessary for treatment of cases are as follows: It must be borne in mind. that these are moderate and severe cases and that malignant cases should receive a larger amount than mentioned. - “Cases of iaryngeal diphtheria, moder. ate cases seen late at the time of the first injection, and cases of diphtheria occurring as a complication of the exan- themata should be classified and treated as ‘severe’ cases. In all cases a single dose of the preper amount, as indicated in the schedule, is recommended.. “It is recommended that the methods of administration be as follows: Mild Cases—Subcutaneous - or muscular. Moderate Cases—Intramuscular or sul- cutaneous. Severe Cases—Intramuscular or subcll- taneous or intravenous. Malignant Cases—Intravenous” isolation intra- HOME CHAPTER NAMES §’I'A'I'E CONVENTION DELEGATE The October meeting of Home chapter of the King's' Davghters was held Monday afternoon at the Johnson Home with an attendance of seventy.

B STREET MEETING SPEAKERS GET ARREST THEY WERE LOOKING FOR .In open defiance of striet orders issued by Mayor Herbert M. Lerou, Mrs. Eliza- beth Glendow Evans a wealthy society woman of Brookline, Mass., attempted to address an open air meeting on Ferry street Tuesday evening under the aus- pices (of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Socialist party. Mrs.! Evans, who had started to speak to thel crowd ,and Albert T. Boardman, a leader | of the. local socialist party who refused to move his machine from Ferry street upon order of Police Sergeant John H. Kane, were placed under arrest by Serst. Kane and Officer Daniel J. O'Neil and followed by a crowd of a thousand men, women and children, were taken to police headquarters. Both were released under bonds of $100 each for appearance in the city court this (Wednesday) morning to answer t ocharges of ‘refusing to obey an officer.” This was the first of a series of open air “challenge” meetings arranged for Connecticut cities under the auspices of the American Civil Liberties Union and the Socialist party. Expectant Crowd Awaits Arrest The arrest of Mrs. Evans and Mr. ardman was one of the most sensation- in the annals of Norwich police cir- ¢ A surging crowd estimated at a th usand clamored and pushed their way down Ferry street ta the automobile from which Mrs. Evans started to make her address - on “Freedom of Speech.” The fact that the Socialist Party intend- ed to hold the meeting in defiance of Mayor Lerou's order had gained wide publicity anl long before 8 o'clock the hour set for the meeting, the crowd began to gather. Ferry street and part of Main street was a mass of expectant humanity that had ~gathered to see the fireworks. Sidewalk traffic was block- ed. Men, women and children eagerly awaited the arrival of the woman speaker. Half a dozen times there wer cries of “here she is " “There's Boardma: and then the crowd would clamor, and push and strain their necks to get' a glimpse of the woman who intended open- 1y to defy the mayor. A minute or two after 8 oclock Mrs. Evans made her appearance escorted by Mr. Boardman. The crowd broke into cries of “She is here,” “Make way there,” “Let hef through. After considerable difficulty- Mrs. Ev- ans and Mr. Boardman succeeded in reaching . Mr. Boardman’s _automobile which had besn parked on Ferry sireet. Mrs. Evans took a seat in the machine and a few minutes later arose to speak. “I am one of the old fashioned Amer. fean women.” said Mrs. Evans. .“I be- lieve in the Declaration of Independence and T believe the Constitution - of = the United States guarantces free speech.’ " Police Give Orders At this point, Polics Sergg nt John H. Kane who was standing near the chine with Officer Daniel O'Neil, said to Mrs. Evans. “You will have to stop.” “Very well,” said Mr. Evans to the officer and to the crowd, “this meeting i8 adjourned to Steiner's hall.” Albert T. Boardman, a leader of the lo- cal socialist party who was recently ar- rested for attempting to conduct an open air meeting then asiy1 Serzeant Kane if Mrs, Evans was under arrest. The officer told him that she was not under arrest 8 long as she refrained from speaking. Boardman Precipitates Arrest ““This won't do,” said Mr. Boardman. vans as going to speak.” l said Sergeant Kane. ! “Then place her under arrest,” said Mr. Boardman. “You come with me,” said the officer to Mrs .Evans and to Mr. Boardman, “You come t00.” “What for?” asked Mr. Boardman. “For refusing to move your machine, was the answer. Both were taken to police headquarters by the officers, the crowd following, and the charge entered against their names on the blotter was ‘refusing to obey an officer’ Bonds were fixed at $100 each and were furnished by Aaron Goldblatt. At headquarters Mr. Boardman admitted that he had refused to move his ma- chine and stutly maintained that the po- lice had no right to arrest either he, or Mrs. Evans. Mrs. Evans gave her age as 64 and said she is American born. Mrs. Evans and Mr. Boardman will appear in court this (Wednesday) morning. Finishes Speech In Hall As soon as they were released under bonds they headed directly for Steiner's hall, trailed by the crowd that had fol- lowed them to police headquarters, and there Mrs. Evans completed the speech she started to make on Ferry street. The hall was crowded to capacity with men, before Mrs. Evans had completed her address the crowd had thinned down to some extent when they decided that the unusual ex- citement of the evening was over. Invites Mavor's Stenographer to Seat Mr. Boardman called the meeting to- gether and before introducing Mrs. Ev ans said he understood that Mayor Le- rou had secured a stenographer to take Mrs. Evans’ address and he extended the mayor's stenographer to use a desk on the platform. The mayor’s stenographer promptly ae- cepted the invitation and took-fhe prof- fered seat amidst applause from the crowd. Mrs. Evans Speaks Mrs. Evans then made her address, speaking on the topic “Free Speech.” 1 cam down to Norwich to speak at the invitation of a local tommittee,” said Mrs. Evans. - “I am one of the old fash- ioned Americans who believe in the fu damentals of our institutions as laid down by our fathers. I believe in the Declaration of. Independence and in the constitutional guarantees of free speech, free press and free assemblage. I have come down here to make a protest and to issue a challenge. We are living in abnermal conditions T raise the question whether disturbing events are allayed or- whether they are stimulated by denial of free speech. I believe that suppression of speech em- phasizes and ‘stimulates the signs of the times' that fill people with anxiety. Free speech itself is the thing that will give us the cure. After a brief discussion on “rights” Mrs. Evans went on to say, T don’t want to change the government or overthrow the government. Where are your rights if a court or legislature is going to de- cide whether your opinions are good or whether they are harmful. ‘What I claim is the right of the people to voice thew opinions. If the majority of the people foal that the government is all right, then it stays that way. But the minority should have the right to ar- gue their opinions. I claim.that in this unrest that it is the government itself that has brought the in- stitutions of the government into dis- credit. T say that in many instances the government itself has led the way in law- breaking and lawlessness. “This may seem a rash statement. my authority ‘I refer you to a report signed by twelve reputable lawyers. among them Rocoe Pound, Dean of the Harvard Law school, relating to what are entitled the Iilegal Practices of the United States Department of Justice. “From this document 1t is proved be- yond .a_preadventure that the United States Department of Jutice in its dealing with aliens under suspicion of being com- munists, committed the grossest afironts to every principle of American constitu- tional liberties. Persons were arrsted and imprisoned and tried without due process of law. To auote the words of As the Tt, after arrst they were “threat- ened, beaten with blackjacks, struck with fists and jailed under abominable condi- tions. A swarm of spies and provocative ageats were let loose upon the land; and the press meanwhile was filled with pro aganda, pald for by the taxpayers, as- serting tha 1 piaV rnsdrobscer government by force tand violence was in evidence, when in effect, the utmost ex- ertions of ‘the government failed to un- earth evidence to sustain its claim. Among the more than 60,000 aliens listed ! as suspect, not a single deed of violence, either contemplated or executed was shown. % Mrs. Evans then referred to her own exexperience at Lawrence during the last strike, when, she said, officers of the‘law had assaulted and clubbed strikers who did not resist arrest, and when these open breaches of the law by officers were condoned by the courts and by public opinion of those classed as the “best peo- ple.” Mrs. Evans also told of several of her experiences in connection with the trials of radicals in Boston. The meeting came to a close about 9:15 o'clock. Statemgnt by J. L. Spivak After the meeting J. L. Spivak, repre- senting the American Civil Liberties Union, under whose: auspices the free speech test meeting was held in con- Jjunction with the socialist party, issued the following statement: “The arreste of Mrs. Glendower Evans for attempting to exercise her rights as an American citizen, guaranteed to her by the Constitution gof the United States, only proves how far autocracy can go if it 18 not chdcked in time. The autocratic atiempt 'of Mayor Lerou to run Norwich in a high-handed manner. contrary to the established laws of the State of Connec- ticut and the United States of America, will be tested out in the courts by Mrs. Evans’ case. The excuse offered by May- or Lerou that the city officials have a Derfect right to govern the streets is ac- ceeded. But the city officials seem to for- get that they do not mave the silghtest right to turn the Constitution into a scrap of paper. “The sympathy with which the eitizens of Norwich viewed the free speech test is eloquently testified to by the rcords breaking crowd which gathered to hear Mrs. Evans speak and later went to Steiner’s hall, to hear what the mayor arbitrarily decreed they shall not hear. The gauntlet has been thrown down by the mayor in refusing to permit the epn- stitutional rights of free speech and peaceable assemblaze. It has been taken | up by frie Amer'cans and lovers of lib- erty that we believe are in the vast ma- jority in Norwich and it will be tested out in the courts of the city, and if nec- sary of the state and nation. “The efforts of certain off'cials to intro- duce a reign of czarism will be stopped, and the principles of liberty upon which our country was founded re-establishd." LOCAL ITALIANS HOLD COLUMBUS DAY PARADE The Ttalian residents of Norwich ob- served Columbus Day Tuesday evening With a short street parade followed by speaking at Carpenter's hall. The Italian band led the parade in which some half dozen automobiles were in line and rea fire was profusely burned. The line of march was through Main street, up Franklin street, Willow street, down Broadway and throush Main street to Carpenter's hall, in front of which the band played a number of patriotic selec- tions. Joseph W. Carlevale, director of the Americanization Institute was the speaker of the evening. His address. though brief, was interesting. In part he said: Today is indeed a great day for it is Columbus Day. Today millions of people have been thinking about Columbus and the Italians should be more than glad because it was. Italy that produced him. America has now srown to be the greatest country of the world. Columbus day is becoming a national holiday and T am glad that the Italians of Norwich have gotten up this parade as a gratitude to the great discovere:. For it was he who sailed on. day after day, across the track! ocean; his men begged him to turn kK, but he would not and through faith and cour- age he arrived at the promised land. Had he no ambition, no faith, no aim, had he remained with his father in the trade e wool crder. surely he would have never discovered this continent. But not conservative but progressive, and be- cause of those sterling qualities of his he accomplished what no other man dared. . Let us, my conntrymen, profit by those wonderful examples of faith ana couraz? which Columbus endured, fought and die odfr. A vote of thanks was given to the Italian hand which responded by playi other selections and to the Italian L Union and to the following who made contributions for the occasion: Rafael De Gruttola, Nino Di Frank Pedace, Brtino Pedace, A. Hasiello, D. Pedace. Jack Allegretti, R. Di Mininn P. Malerba, D. Piacenza. B. Ciardillo, M. M. Formiglio. S. Vasington Coletti, Ferri, E. Spano, Tedesco. Barbieri, Ciccone, Marinaio. A.

CE TWO LEGHORN PENS GO PAST HIGH WATER MARK In the forty-ninth week of the egg laying contest at Storrs two more pens, both Leghorns, have passed the high- water mark. This makes a tota] of five pens that have laid 2,000 eggs or more to date. 1In the 1914 contest only two pens had passed the high-water mark at the end of the forty-ninth week. Their respective production was 2,036 and 2,011 eggs. In 1915 none of the 100 pens had reached the 2,000 mark at the end of the forty-ninth week. In the 1917 contest only two pens had been able to reach an average of 200 eggs per hen. These pens laid 2035 and 2075 re- spectively, In the 1918 contest two more pens were able to repeat the perform- ance by laying 2,071 and 2,230 eggs. In the 1919 contest no pens had reached the high-water mark. In the present contest Jules F. Francais' pen of Barred Plymouth Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I, has a total of 2,150, Oneck Farm's Barred Piymouth Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I. has laid 2.- 087, Pinechest Orchard’s Rhode Island Reds from Groton, Mass., has a total of 2.055 and two pens of White Leghorns owned by E. A, Ballard, Chestnut Hill, Pa, and Hollywood Farm, Hollywood, Wash., have a total of 2,000 eggs each. Oneck Farm's Barred Rocks from Westhampton Beach, L. I were first with a yield of 46 eggs. Pinechest Or- chard’s Rhode Island Reds from Groton, Mass., were second with 40 eggs, W. Ed- gar Baker's pen of Leghorns made third place with a lay of 39 eggs. A pen of White Rocks owned by Chickatawbut Farm, Canton, Mass., and a_ pen of White Leghorns owned by A. P. Robin- son, Calverton, N. Y. both tied for fourth ‘place with 38 eggs each. The total for all pens was 2,063 eggs or a vield of 29.4 per cent. One of the outstanding features of the present contest is that a Barred Ply- mouth Rock owned by Rock Rose Farm, Katonah, N. Y., laid 77 eggs in 77 days. If this hen had laid one more day she would have laid 104 eggs in 104 days. Her record however, surpasses a White Leghorn and a Salmon Favorelle which previously held the record with 64 eggs in 64 days. ; The three leading pens in each of the principal varieties are as follows: Plymouth Rocks.
