 In its conclusions, the commission said that in a limited investigation of the wages of women in five industries in the state practically one-half of them earned less than a living wage. In the cotton industry 29 per cent. of the women earned less than seven dollars a week; in the silk industry 58 per cent. earned less, in metals 48 per cent, in corsets 50 per cent. and in rubber 49 per cent.

UP!" IS MANDATE OF STATE
 BOARD OF HEALTH

Hartford, April 15-"If you wish to make a real contribution to the com fort and welfare of your community, you should clean up your premises and induce your neighbor to do the same,'' says Secretary Joseph H. Town send, of the State Board Of Health, in the monthly bulletin of that board issued today. Dr. Townsend, taking as his text, Clean Up,'' says:
 'tThe springtime is here, the season when the rubbish heap, the manure pile and other filthy accumuIations of the winter should go. If you wish to make real contribution to the com fort and welfare of your community you should clean up your premises and induce your neigJbor to do the same.
 r'In a number of cities of the state it has come to be the custom to desig- nate a certain day as clean up day and all people, particularly the chil- dren are urged to remove the rubbish from their backyards and vacant lots in the neighborhood. The municipal ity usually provides the teams for transporting the rubbish so collected to the public dumps. This is an ex- celIent practice and should be extend ed.
 Accommodations of rubbish are not only unsightIy but are also unhealthy inasmuch as they often serve as breed ing places for flies and other insects and the time to begin warfare against these pests is in the spring when breeding begins from the few insects or eggs that have survived the winter.
 ''Flies breed by preference in horse manure but will also breed in any fermenting organic matter. The fe- male lays about 15O eggs which are matched in eight hours time. They then pass through the stages of mag got and pupae and become adult flies in about 10 days, ready to breed again so that it can be readily seen how ra- pidly they multiply. As carriers of contagion it is their habit to swarm over feca1 matter and other filth and then feed upon our tables, depostting perhaps thereon the germs of typhoid fever dysentery and so forth. This department has a special bulletin on the fly which can be had on applied tion
 Mosquitoes will breed in any quiet pool of water. Tin cans, broken ves- sels or any receptacle the rubbish heap which perchance may contain a little water are excellent breeding places for them. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance but some species car ry the maIariaI germs to victims bit ten by them. Destroy the breeding places and you will get rid of flies and mosquitoes.

 MT. Hall of Wilmington opposed the resolution, saying 1t was a lobby measure because 1t was bad rule. MT. Wilson of Bridgeport said that the House had plenty Of checks for un- usual debate and in a. motion for pre- vfous question opposed the bill. MT.

 Mir Hall of New Milford said the law should be changed so that it would tell how the shotgun should be loaded He said that a. shotgun could be load ed with a slug that would carry a mile. He said that both would be more dangerous than a rifle. Mir Johnson of Holland favored the bill and thought there ought to be g. pen atty on killing deer. The House pass ed MT.

 Much other debate followed in which a number of amendments were offered and finally it was voted to send the bill with the amendments back to the committee to be put into shape.

dar the bill incorporating the Kent Electric Light & Power Company was read. MT. Wilson offered an amend ment, providing that the bonds of the company could not be issued in ex- cess of the actual value of the plant. This was not objectionable to the company but MT. Hea1y said that he would vote for no amendment which provided for the issuance of bonds at par because no public service cor poratton can today get par for its bonds. It was claimed that the in corporators of the company were sat- isfed with the amendment to the bill and it was passed as amended.

 The bill prohibiting the snaring of foxes brought on a lively debate. MT. Landon, of Old Saybrook, scored snar- ing devices. He said that dogs and sheep had been caught in their snares. MT. DoolittIe of Bethany said it was a wide open bill and that anybody could set a trap and anywhere under it. MT. Hall of New Milford, favored the bill and MT. Rungee, of Green Wich, opposed it. MT. Moves, of Le- banon said that testimony before the committee was to the effect that an old man had been caught in one of these traps. MT.
