20 CHILDREN REGISTERED
First Week of Day Nursery Proves That Institution is Nccded-Fac- tories Cooperate.

New Britain's Day Nursery is now in full operation and after the first weeks trial, in which 20 children were registered, shows convincinglv what an important part this institu ton is going to play in the every day work of the city. Many contributions are coming into the chamber of com merce from public spirited people in terested in the work. The physicians of New Britain have practically all volunteered to examine the children registered to help in any way possi- ble in the maintenance of good health. Several instances have al- ready come, where a mother has been given some advice in the care of or in the feeding of her child Since the physicians come in contact with so many of the working mothers it is hoped that the applications will be greatly increased through their eff fort.
 The chamber of commerce civic bureau. through whose activity the nursery was made a reality. is keep ing in constant touch with the schools the clergy and the factories in order that tho information may be sent into every home in New Britain. Mothers with children who desire to work arc urged to phone the nursery--2121- and call for Mrs. O'Brien the matron or better call in person and inspect the splendid facilities for the care of children.
 That the factories are interested is clearly shown by the following list of men appointed. one from each indus try, with whom the day nursery will [ be constantly in touch: Stanley Works, T. l.. Weed; Landers, Frary & Clark, F.. F. Hall: Traut &- Hine, G. ". Traut; North & Judd, H. C. Luff; Stanley Rule X Level, W. F. Hine: Parker Shirt Co, e. F. Shjerden; American Hosiery H. B. Benhke; Corbin Screw Corp, F.. M. Pratt; Cor bin Cabinet Lock, Frank Wood; New Britain Machine, H. F.. Erwin.
 It is expected that besides supply ing 9, need to the mothers who desire to work outside the home many posi- tions will be filled in the various fac tories where there is such an urgent need of help in war work.
 Visitors are cordially invited to visit the Day Nursery at Hny time.

In the early days Of this country the
glisr mill was built where there was
water power, and in time other indus

reason, H. II. Windsor writes In Poru-

largest manufacturing cities have
grown up around these grist mills. But
many Of the best water powers were
80 inaccessible, and the surrounding
country so unfit for agriculture, that
no mills and towns have ever taken
advantage Of the cheapest mill power
known.
Today. thanks to the electric motor
transmission lines. and high voltage,
the factory may locate convenient 70
transportation and labor, and have the
water power brought to it.
