 CAPTAINS FOR DRIVE
SSS,OOO for United Charities to Be Sought Here Starting Monday

All the machinery IS moving along ! smoothly for the opening of the drive for S3s,000 for local charities | with the noon-day luncheon at the Elks' club Monday. Chairman Fl. F.. Erwin of the luncheon committee has made arrangements for accommodate ing all the team members and com ittees, and representatives of the press. Principal l.. r. Slade of the New Britain High school has charge of securing the speakers for the lunches. Among the speakers at the first luncheon Monday will be Chair man E. w. Christ of the campaign committee. and Rev. J. l.. Davis. pop ular pastor of Trinity Methodist church.
 Team Captains.
 The team captains are announced today as follows: Frank w. Holmes. A. A. Mills. K. L.. Maxim, F.. l.. War ren. James S. North. F. NJ. Holmes, Pardon C. Hickey. R. C. Germond. J. E. Comstock, George Bean, George k. Christ. George K. Macauley, Carl s. Neumann, Clifton McKenna, N. s. Franklin. Bernadotte Loomis, A. A. Greenberg. pr. T. E. Reeks. The Ro- tary club as a team, and Mrs. How ard s. Parsons, as chairman of the woman's committee. The women did splendid work in the Hoover cam paign making the best record of all. and great things are expected from them fin this drive too.
 Visiting Nurses.
 Many people it is found are not familiar with the work of the char ities which are to be benefited by the drive. The Visiting Nurse asso- GH the past year they made 1882 visits, of which 9.S91 were for general 347 for prenatal care. 3,25S for care of infants and 2,166 for care of older children. Twenty-three ma tionalities were served. The associa- tion's treasury Is now depleted, and unless people come across as they should with the necessary funds in this drive, the work will have to be or badly handicapped. The nurses not only give the best of service among needy families in car Ing for sick. but have also seen to 1t that sanitary conditions have been improved in many houses, SO that the spread of iscase has been 1 shocked. and no doubt serious epi- 1 have been prevented.
 Day Nursery.
 Tn the Day Nursery there have been | t0, ,000 children cared for during the l ,ear, representing ninety different na- !, .ionaiities. which is an indication of | he cosmopolitan character of the 1 work. Ten children como from school | ,ach day to get hot dinners; 30 chill | lren were supplied with clothing and l hoes; two were sent to the isolation | hospital. one to the general hospital, 1 hree to the open air camp, two had onsils removed, and there were six ,ases Of eye and two of ear treat nent. With the industrial depres- ion now on there will be more calls han ever for the work of these two agencies. and it is hoped that when he teams come around next week he generous hearted people of New Britain will remember 1t.

.is that the generator brushes do not
make good contact with the COM
mutator at first and the machine
thus does not excite its field mag
nets. Quite likely the commutator
has become greasy and this grease
Is stiff enough to keep the brushes
from contracting until it becomes
warm and thin. We suggest that
YOU thoroughly clean the communal
tor and the ends Of the brushes. If
the commutator is badly worn, it will
have to be turned down and the
mica insulations undercut. If the
brushes have worn short, new ones
will have to be installed. AS soon
as you start the engine, we think
that you can excite the generator by
momentarly closing the cut-out with
your fingers, thus letting battery cur
rent into the field coils.
