Mackenaie of Connecticut, In a report on the work done by enforcement officers attached to his office during the past year, advises that 837 raids were ade, Tesulting In 592 arrests, 504 conviction: fines amounting to $65,580 and 2,623 days jail sentences. Serseant Isaac Kroopneck is given credit for a great deal of the efficency and interested co- operation of the squad of which he has had charge. Director Mackenzie also reports that jurles in the federal and state courts are favorable to enforcement as are the state and city police, who furnish offic- ers to work with agents of the depart- ment. Heavy fines, with jail sentences, are being imposed in all cases where the evidence warrants such action. ‘‘We feel gratified with the changed conditions in the state. Saloons are a thing of the past, and the people are convinced that prohibition is here to stay,” says Director Mackenzie. *The state board of pharmacy is aiding us in every way possible in checking up held- ers of druggists’ licenses and violations of this mature are less frequent than In past.” PREDICTS GROUSE PLENTY FOR SHOOTING SEASON Superintendent John W Titcomb, of the fish and game commission, stated Friday that there would be an abund- ance of grouse in the woods of the state for the hunting season which be- gins October 8 arM ends November 23. Owing to the rainy weather there might be a scarcity of pheasants. Mr. Tit- comb added that there were few Hun- Zarian partridges left in the state. From what he said it was evident that the efforts to propagate these partridges have not been successful. They were first imported into this state in the hope that they would become acclimated some years ago during the administra- tion of the old fish and game commis- sion of three which preceded the com- mission made up of one from each coun-- ty that was legislated out of existence at the session of 1921. Mr. Titcomb sald further that the failure of Connec- ticut to propagate this partridge is the experience of other states, and that the matter is receiving the attention of the fish and game officials whose fleld of activity takes in the entire country. The law restricts the number of grouse which may be shot in one day to three and to twenty-one for the entire season. MRS. R. T.
