SAYS, WHOOPING COUGH DANGEROUS AS DIPHTHERIA State Health Commissioned Stanley H. Osborn issued a statement Tuesday in which he says the whooping\ cough is nearly as fatal as diphtheria. The statement says that during the five years from 1917 to 1921 beth in the disease reported in the state or an average, of 2,441 per year for the pe- riod. There were 805 deaths during the five years, and the average rate of fatalities were 6.5 per cent. The low- est death rate was in 1921 when it was 47 and the highest in 1918 when it stood 9.5. Dr. Osborn makes this com- ment on the figures which are cont: ed in his statement: “The necessity for placing placards on houses where whoop- ing cought is present is to an extent reveéaléd by the table given showing that between 1917 and 1931, from five to ten per cent. of the whooping cough cas- es reported to the state health depart- ment died.” The public health coumcil recom- mends that the following precautions be taken to prévent the spreading of whoop- ing cough: Isolate the whooping cough case; protect other children from whoop- ing cough; bring before parents the dire consequences that result if a child with whooping cough is neglected. ‘Whooping cough, under a resolution passed November 3, is included among the diseases which require the placard- ing of the room or apartment where the case exists. In a general statement Dr. Osborn says: “It is rather startling to notice, under the fatality rate (or deaths per 100 cases reported) that there are nearly as many deaths per 100 cased ear she has been| 1i as there are from diphtheria, indicating with great clearness how fatal thé re- ported cases of whooping cough are com- parcd with the reported cases of diph- theria. At the same time, the average number of deaths frem whooping cough during the last five vears has been far 2bove measles or scarlet fever.” CAMP FIRE GIRLS ENTERTAIN POOR CHILDREX The Camp Fire Girls gave a Christ- mas tree party and supper Tuesday af- ternoon at 530 o'clock at the Commu- nity House for some 25 poer children of the city, boys and girls.

D — T T — WOULD RECONSTRUCT NIANTIC CAMP GROUNDS A recommendation that the sta! military camp grounds at ntic be thoroughly reconstructed in order to do away with buildings that have passed thelr usefulness is the outstanding ture of the biennial report of Brigadier General Lucius B, Barbour, quarter- master general which was presented to Governor Lake. The estimated cost of modernizing the camp will be from 3 000 to $100,000. The eamp's sanitary arrangements need correcting, the re-, port says, Numerous other exraordinary im- provements, suggested in the report, voive expenditures of an adeitiomal $50,000. The sum of $20.000 is asked for repairs to the state armory in Hart- ford, which are declared to be immea- ately essential to preserve the siruc- ture, = An additional amount of $30,000 given as the estimate required to bri about essential repairs of the remaining 16 armories in the state. In the siate Niantic military property at used as a military rendezvous and ilization center,” the report. says, “Connecticut has one of its most valuable pieces of military property Most of the buildings on this property have stood for mearly two gencrations and while most of them are in a semi- usable condition, drastic repairs on them are pow necessary it they are to be retained in their present form. Due to changes in National Guard requirements, it seems advisable to use what material can be falvaged from the o buildings rather than to re- model fhe ones now standing. A rede- sign of the sanitary arrangement is also necessary. The fence surrounding the grounds is beyond repair and should be immediately replaced by a wire fence. 1t is eftimated that from $75,000 to $100,000 will be necessary to thoroughly modernize this property. “Practically all the armories need renovating both within and - without.” General Barbour points out. “An es- timate of the amount required to protect by vainting the opitside woodwork and retouch the interior of the drill shed of these 16 armories is $30,000.” An inventory of the state military property contained in the report shows that Connecticut is well supplied to meet, at a rment's notice, a call for infantry and artillery equipment. There is on hend a large supply or uniforms, ser- vice overcoats, leggings, gloves, over- shoes, cots, tents and mattresses. etc., in ; |addition to a good sized allotment which has been sealed for emergency. In accordance with speclal acts of the general assembly in 1919, four new arm- orles were created during the year at a total cost of approximately $1,000,000. They are as follows: Waterbury, $343,807.35; Wallingtord, $102,293.57; Middletown, $154,133.34 and Ansonia $168,120.52. In order to properly house an allot- ment of six 65 mm guns, and 24 mo- tor trucks, which were assigned to the Connecticut field artillery by the war de- partment in May, 1921, in order that they might be used in the military traiing of troops, additions to seven of the state armories were made necessary. This was done at a cost of $80,000, and was divided as follows: Danielson, six frucks, $7.774.10; Dan- bury, one gun, two trucks, $11,172. Greenwich, one gun, two trucks, § 540.40; New Lomdon, one gun, trucks, $10,605.24; Norwalk, one gun, two trucks, $12,610.91; Norwich, one gun, five trucks, $9,160.80; _Stamford, ome gun, two trucks, §4,758.60. five RECEIVES ADVANCE COPY OF NEW COURT RULES An advance copy of the new rules of procedure for the courts of Conuccticut ‘has been received in tie office of the clerk of the superior court, and the 13sue will be ready to be placed in the hands of. local lawyers as soon as the edition is completed. y A number of changes of procedure are ‘made, and to some «xtent minor motions, now presented to the ehoit ealendar will l:;.tmnhlfl" .upen in the elerk's of- The mest important addition ‘o the rules are those relatiag to workmer's compensation, committees and adudilors, declaratory judgments, summary process, ure on petition for divorce to crim. side of supericr court amr criminal Ea substantial chaages in egisting rules are not numerdus and haye only MMM ‘when éxpériénce ba sshown the A numbér of forms have been added rel- ative to workmen’s compensat'on, receiv- efships, negligence, alisnatioh of affec- tions, mandamus, injunctions, cancella- tion, trade acceptance, writs of error in SUMmATy process, appeal from probate, DEATH OF J. 8.

More than 200 wers present to enjoy the program, which con- sisted of recitations and songs by the smaller children, selections by the choir, with two special numbers that included & musical selection by the organist of the church, Mrs. Charles A. Burdick, emti- tled Bethlehem's Evening Chimes, and a soprano solo by Mes. Alice Chase. Both numbers were especially well rendersd and brought forth merited applause. The children all spoke well and recsived hearty applause. The closing number on the program was a dlalogue between two boys, Kenneth and Donald Zabriekle, and Santa Claus, impersonated by John P. Hollowell, who acted his pact in a very pleasing manner. The old fashioned fire- place and chimney used in thiy number was bullt under the personal direction of Beriah Burdick. This was a masterpiece of itself and reflected the unusual srtistic abllity of Mr. Burdick. The usual Christ- mas tree was pretty in its seasomable decorations and was heavily laden with many gifts that were disributed under the direction of Santa Claus. Following the program, candy and refreshmerts were distributed and a social time was enjoyed by all. The offering taken will be given toward the work of the Near East réfief.
