Meteor Falls In East
“ Hartford And Women
Has Very Close Call
A meteor. about three fee: in
diametel’, fell in the East Hart-
ford meadows about 9 o'clock last
night. striking a wire during its
flight and causing the lights to go
out on Pitkin and Darlin streets.
East Hartford. The meteor gave
of! a bright blue light as it fell.
early in the rain storm. and gave
off a. brilliant light visible for
some distance as it lay in the
grass.
The grass was burned for some
distance around where the meteor
hit. while the heavenly body it-
self. was almost entirely con-
sumed. A few pieces of dark.
shining materiel looking like pol—
ished asphalt. with small holes.
presumably made by escaping
steam. and considerable ash were
found.
The meteor burned for twenty
minutes after it hit the ground.
The meteor seemed to disin~
tegrate violently. shooting sparks
and molten material for short dis-
tance into the air around the in-
tersection of Pltkln and Darlin
streets where it struck.
Dropping like a shot. the me-
teor narrowly missed Mrs .Leslie
B. Swott of No. 129 Pitkin street.
who was walking in the street.
We Swett. her husband, picked
her up in his ear shortly after the
bolt descended and the two
watched the meteor. which they
said “resembled a Roman candle."
. At times the meteor. which
they compared to the "size ofaan
automobile wheel." would seem-
ingly leap from its resting place
to a distance of a foot and shoot
forth sparks. It was said to have
moved at- least twenty feet from
the place where it burned out.
The rain seemed to die down after
the descent of the meteor. they
said. and the wind which was
blowing a. gale at the time, seem-
ed to drop its velocity again short-
ly afterwards.

Governor Proclaims
June 14 Flag Day In
State Of Connecticut
Governor John H. Trumbull
today issued through Secretary
of State I’alloil the following pro-
clamation on Flag Day.
“The national standard of the
United States came into being
on June it. 1777. when its form
and use were first authorized by
Congress. Tile anniversary of that
occasion is a fitting day on which
to do particular honor to this
. symbol of our national institu-
items.
"I therefore designate Monday.
the fourteenth of June next. as
flag (lay and direct that on that
day the national colors be dis-
played from all public buildings
and that suitable exercises be
held in the schools of the state."
“The flag is the visible em-
blem of the greatness of our
country and of the high purposes
which have made it great. It has
been the inspiration for useful
living and glorious dying. It has
never known defect or dishonor.
In studying it. we learn much of
the history of our own people; in
reviewing it. we pay just due to
the highest type of civilization
and to the heroism and sacrifices
which have made that civiliza-
tion possible. Citizenship under
such a. flag is surely a source of
pride: we must not lose sight of
the fact that it is also a most sol-
emn responsibility."

Hartford. Connecticut.
Gentlemen:
I beg to acknowledge receipt of
yours of May 21 and as Mayor of the
City of Norwalk. I personally wish to
congratulate the State of Connectl:
cut on having a separate building at
the Sellout-Centennial.
It is fitting and proper that Con-
necticut should be represented at
this Exposition commemorating the
150th anniversary of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence, as
she was one of the thirteen original
states and she took a leading part
in the signing of that never-to-be-
forgotten document.
I sincerely hope that exhibits in
the Connecticut building will be a
credit to the State of Connecticut
and will. in a small way. show “Con-
nectlcut at work."

LOCAL FAMILIES DURING 1925,
Norwalk. in common with the
majority of the cities of the country.
had a falling off in its birth rate in
1125. according to statistics just re-
leased by the United States Depart-
ment of Commerce. During the
some period the death rate in-
creased. ’
Infant mortality here dropped
considerably. however. despite the
fact that. Connecticut as a whole had
an increase.
From tenth place in the list of
citieslin this state in 1924. Norwslk
dropped to twelfth in the proper-
tionof births to each 1.000 of popu-
lation last year. There were 64
births in 1925 or a rate of 21.6 to
the‘thousand against a. rate of 24.0
in 1924. 'Desths of people of all
all in 1035 were 406 and 85 of
these were of hfants under one

To compare with this drop in
number of births/of ~24 per thou—

but 2.2. from 21.1 to 18.9.
Deaths in Norwalk increased from
12.6 a'thousnnd in 1924 to 13.7 in
1925 while the state as a whole
stood still at 11.8 a thousand for
botll years.
Infant mortality for this city in
the period decreased 3.7 to the thou-
sand, or from 68.2 in 1924 to 54.5 in
1925. The state figures here. how-
ever. were not as fortunate. The
report shows that infant deaths for
the whole territory were 4.8 higher.
or a jump from 68.7 in 1924 to 78.6
in 1925. -
Birth rates for the country in 1925
were lower than for 1924 in 26 of

the two years are shown.
Death rates for 1925 were higher
