CONNECTICUT HAS MANY INFECTED CATTLE A summary of the tuberculosis ijcation work amonz the various according to a chart {=sued by the b of animal industry at Washingion, ¢ erad tates roa s that during November Connecticut, W a total <f 588, had a greater number of infected cattle under the tuberculin tes than any other state in the union. Of the 79 snerds tested for ubes §d= 4, Navember comprifing 1.761 1= 585 were found infected with tuberculos is. Comparad with the other states which the number cf cattle tested wa proximatdly the same, Connechi showing is brought out by the fact t New York with 1719 tested had 1% actors. Massachusetts with 1672 only 62 reactors, West Virginia 1,642 had 32, Wyoming with 1631, had 15: Florida with 1,677 had 16 and New Jersey with 1,863 had 72. Compared on a Sercentage basis with some other states in which a greater number cf cattle wers tested the difference is in many cases very much larger. Whila Connecticut's average of Infect- ed cattle is high when compared with other states it may be said that the campaign against bovine tuberculosis in this state is of a more racent origin than in most of the other states. The cam- paign was started mn this state onl about two vears ago with an appropri- ation of $10.000, while other states kave been at it for years, exvending miilions of dollars. Part of the high percen of infected cattls in the state is due to the fact that until recently, cattie might be imported into the be- ing tested for the disease. et fects of the new ruling are feit, requirt that all imported cattle be tested it i3 ex- pected that the percentage will be high According According there were in November herds in Connecticut, comprising head.

The capacity hou: on Thursday evening apparently re is appre- ciated the bill. as many of the numbers were heartily encored. The bill includes a novelty wire act, a Iittle snappy danc- ing and two clever surprise acts. The headline act with its novel duction and surprise ending is very tertaining and clever. There is a singing, some very good dancing a clever pianist which woven into the act make it 2ne of rmusual merit. Bert and Betsy Ross have a nove act. The Check Room Girl, a singing and talking act with a few dancing novelties. It is seldom that a sketch goes hig at the Davig, but the sk gented by Wanda Ludlow & Co. tainly appealed to the audience. It is a novelty comedy sketch which is very mi leading until the fall of the cur‘ain, when the surprise of the plece is sHrung. through the sketch is some very humor that appeals to the people. Richards and Wells have a pleasing singing and dancing act, w Wat and Lee present a very clever sensation- al tight wire act. This act is a top-notch act in its line. The feature picture is Jack Holt in The Call of the North, a drama of ice and snow. good STATE WILL ENFORCE NEW LAUNDRY LAW Miss Charlotte M. Holloway, rial investigator for the state of Con- necticut, announced that the department of labor would at once begin the enforce- ment of the 1921 statute relative to maintenance of Chinese laundries years ago, declared Miss Holloway, endeavor was made to have the Chinese conform to the standards of western civilization and a report was prepared by investizators showing the need of re- indv si form. The Investigating commizsion recommended certain needed changes and since that time there has been a campaign of bringing these recommen- dations before the public. At the last gession of the legislature the statute cov- ering the needed reform was enacted and now notices printéd’ in the Chnese language are being prepared and will shortly be posted in all Chinese laun- dries.
