.SPAULDING REPLIES
 ON ELECTRIC EXAM
Believes He Has Not Been Treated Fairly

S. Y. spaulding whose efforts to obtain an electricians license has brought him considerable publicity of late, today struck back at the city examining committee. pointing to the fact that their markings have been found to be in error.
 He also advances the claim that Electrical Inspector c. J. Curtin agreed in the presence of two other men to increase Spaulding's rating five points, allowing him full credit for a question he had answered and placing his mark above passing, but Spaulding says he has not been credited with this additional five points,
 spaulding's statement today fol- lows:
 Tn reply to the several articles which have appeared recently in the columns of your paper in regard to my electricians license, I should like to present my side of the case.
 Tn the first place some little vindication of my stand has already been obtained for I believe that my mark now stands at 66h per cent
New Britain herald., 1926-10-13

Previous to my questioning the cor rect checking of my examination papers. the total mark allowed by the city of New Britain examination board was 6317 per cent
 Tt may not appear worth while to the above examination board to annoy and trouble them. but per sonally I feel satisfied to think that so far I have gained three points and at no great trouble to Mir. Hinchcliffe, whom I have not seen or talked with since the examina- ton night
 'Mr. Curtin with whom I have talked a few times about my case. presented my papers to T. H. Day of Hartford who is claimed in the columns Of the Herald to be the author of the code book from which the questions of my examination papers were taken. I answered the above questions to the best Of my ability from the National Electrical Code Book and I wonder If this Is the book of which NIT. Day Is claimed to be the author or was some other publication used by the examiners for the city of New Brit ain? I should like to question the statement that claim the Board of Fire Underwriters to be in error. Tn the last check of the papers, true, Nfr rt; toII tn go before T. H. Day of Hartford but not this Board Of Fire Underwriters.
 "One more point, on October 7th in order to determine the correct ness Of an answer to question on my examination paper, Mir. Curtin accompanied me to one of the local manufacturing plants to check up the wiring of an electrical com pensator. At that time MT. Curtin agreed in the presence of Spaulding Warner, councilman of the third ward and Harry Sharpe, electrical foreman of the tSanley Works to al- low me five points on this question 80 far the five points are still coming, which would make my total mark TIE per cent. this of course being over the required minimum for a license.
 Referring to the building com missioner advising me that no more time will be allowed to me for fur ther discussion of my case but that I may have the privilege of sitting at another examination at a later date. perhaps a little more fairness and a recollection of a promise given by Mfr. Curtin may make another ex- animation unnecessary and would certainly put an end to insistent complaints and 'annoyances'."

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.
Cod Liver Oil.

Cod Liver Oil.
Almost every one is aware that
| physicians, as routine. are now CIV
ing cod liver oil daily to all babies,
whether breast or bottle fed. Mothers
| like to know why this Is done and so
here is the reason for it.
There are five groups of foods
which are essential to keep the hui
man body in perfect condition. Pro-
teins, fats, carbohydrates, minerals
and vitaminS.
The proteins are necessary to sup.
ply material for the growth of the
cells. AS the body Is made up of cells
which are breaking down daily under
| the stress OF living, one can see how
, necessary 1t is that we have materials
flor rebuilding these cells.
Carbohydrates Sugars and starches)
furnish us with heat and with ma
terial for keeping our muscles active,
ssarches than adults, because they
| run off so much energy which must
be constantly supplied. When adults
| eat too much they can't use it UP and
so they store the surplus in the form
| of fat. Children do this, too, IL they
eat too much sweet stuff.
Fats do just about the same thing
as the carbohydrates.
Minerals give us the material for
| bones and teeth and help form the
body fluids and tissues.
The all-important vitamins help us
better to make use of all the other
materials; just as workman is
necessary to build house even when
all the other materials are supplied.
Vitamins are workmen.
Now we come to cod liver oil. 1t is
a rich source of vitamin. Orange
juice is another of a different kind
of vitamin, for there is more than
one type of this element. Cod liver
oil is the anti-rachitic kind; so-called
because it, in conjunction with a
proper diet, protects child from the
dangers of ricketts,.
Cod liver oil is given to babies and
| children then In order to furnish them
with valuable and necessary vita
min. This vitamin in turn helps the
child's body make use Of the other
food clements, phosphorus and cal
cium especially, with which he builds
his bones and teeth Cod liver oil
alone, without a proper diet, would
be a workman with no materials. But
with the materials furnished and the
workman to help along, a perfect
structure will be the result.

Your Easter Bonnet.

Did YOU ever realize that some.
where among the millinery shelves
and tables is your very own hat, and
that that hat is in a certain shape?
Actually any hat might be yours. but
only a few hats will look best" on
YOU, and there's one that will look
better than all the rest. If you know
what shape your hat is in it will be
much easier TO find ii.
If your hair is bobbed you may be
looking for a Cioche shape hat. It's
like a sun-bonnet with the brim alb
breviated. It fits snugly over your
head and has the tiniest of rims.
Bobbed heads can also wear tams and
turbans. If your face is slender you
can wear a, sailor and If your face is
stout you can wear flange shape,
one that has a wide brim at the side.
Picture hats, Gainsboroughs and
slanting crowns are designed for tall
women with fair sized features. Small
women look buried in big hats. A
straight brim win tend to make tall
woman look shorter because it cuts
down on her height. Very few tall
women can wear ''off-theface" models
or directoire shapes. Both these
shapes tend to lengthen the head and
figure. which is just what the tall
woman tries to avoid.
Women with thin faces should try
to buy hat shap pes that will tend to
broaden the lines of the head and
face. Brimless hats will do that, and
40 viii hats with cleft in brims, rolled
brims and even dropped brims. OF
course. while these shapes will be-

| particular, because of some peculiar
| ity of line or cut may not. A try.on
is the only real test for any hat.
Frequently women have asked
| which hats are dressy. Formerly,
ornately trimmed hats in fancy
shapes were thought to be most
dressy, but today the dressiness of a
hat depends more upon the quality
of the material in il. and its shape,
than anything else. If you intend to
buy a hat for good" buy one that's
made up in a becoming shape and of
as fine material as you can afford.
If you went to Paris and bought an
exclusive Agnes hat which wasn't
becoming you'd look less dressy than
if you walked into a local store and
bought hat in your shape for as low
as $3.50.
There are some hats which have
out-of- date shapes, but many of them.
if kept in store. will return to fash
ion. Such shapes as the chin-chin,
Charlott Corday, and others will have
| their day again. At present cloche
hats are "in." and as result stout
women look top light" because they
wear an unbecoming shape. In Sum-
mer broad brims are usually popular,
but short women don't always realize
that medium sized brims look as
broad on them as extra broad brims
look on the tall women.
Remember that every we'll dressed
woman is fashionable, but not every
fashionable woman is well dressed.
Buying hats that would enhance
other women's beauty may not helr
you at all. II you wish TO be well
dressed. regardless of fashion, know
what shape your hat should be before
you buy it.

Shoes Continue Fragile and Ornate.
BY MARY MARSHALL.

offer livelihood for the glove makers.
But feet and ankles reign supreme.
Judging from the glittering array
of shoes that the shops bestoW ana
the fragility of the shoes themselves
that women wear both for street ana
evening 1t Is small wonder that wom-
en- complain of the size of their shoe
bills. The petulant husband no longer
glowers over his wife's millinery bill.
1t is her shoe bill that annoys him
supremely.
One thing that is sometimes over
looked by the shoe dealers is that
this present vogue for elaborate and
fragile shoes for practically all occa-
sions is one that could have
come about only in modern times.
Modern street pavements have had as
much to do with recent developments
in shoe fashions as the modern motor
car has had in the realm or millinery.
A hundred and fifty years ago women
of fashion could find few streets In
Paris where walking was possible. II
was only the very few that coulu
coaches and chairs who could wear
fine shoes, save on very special occa-
sions. The women who had to go
about on foot had to wear coarse, ugly
shoes.
The change has come gradually
enough. Within a generation great
improvements have been made in our
own large American cities. The dis
placement of the horse by the motor
car in city streets has, of course,
helped to make our streets fit for fine
shoes. One of the first things that
must be done by promoters Of any sort
of out-of-town resort is to make the
paths and sidewalks fit for fine shoes
10 tread upon. Hence your SeaShore
resort must have it's perfectly kept
boardwalk and the fashionable noun
tain lodge must have it's smooth
stretches of cement sidewalk or board
walk. For special mountain climbing
or for sports women will wear sub
substantial shoes that need no such
protection. but for every day. women
prefer to wear shoes that are anything
but what we used to consider suitable
for "every day"

Americans might not wish TO agree
with the traveller who said that the
Norwegians make more of their flag
than we of the United States do of
ours, but it is true that the question
of NorWay's independence and the his
tory of her flag from 1910 to 1905 are
insenarable.
For many centuries before it's union
with Denmark in 1881, the land of
NorSemen bold" was an Independent
kingdom. The rulers and heroes of
the sagas carried banners of different
devices, chief among them the upright
lion with the battle-ax which is still
the emblem displayed on Norway's
royal standard. A white flag with a
red lion is given as the standard of
Norway in flag book of 1900. For
her naval flag she still shared the
"Dannebrog" of Denmark. After her
separation from the latter country in
1914. Norway retained for few
months the red flag with the white
cross, placing the Norwegian lion in
the upper quarter next the flagstaff.
In 1915, after Norway's union with
Sweden, the Norwegian fortreSseS and
navy flew the Swedish naval flag (blue
with yellow cross, as shown in the
preceding number) except that the
upper field on the right was red with
white cross. In 1921 the Norwegia n
Parliament decided that the flag of
Norway should be red with blue

SPICER.
RELATIONSHIPS.
RACIAL ORiGIN--EnqIish.
SOURCE-An occupation,


The origin of the family name of
Spicer. or Spiser, is quite obvious.
To far greater extent than we do,
the medieval English used the terTnt-
nation "er' with the name Of an
article or thing to indicate the per
son habitually or occupationally con
nected with it.
But while 1t is quite true that the
original Spicers were merchants who
handled spices or prepared them, you
must not picture them to yourself as
following the medieval parallel of the
modern spice grinder. AS a matter OF
fact, If family names were being
formed today the Spicers would not
adopt this name, or have 1t given tC
them by their communities. They
would be called, rather, "Grocers."
The spicer of medieval times really
was more of retail grocer than what
we understand by the term spicer. He
did not handle, of course, the wide and
varied lines Of merchandise which the
modern grocer is able to offer. There
were no canned goods then. There
were no bottled olives and package(
breakfast foods. And for the most
part flour was bought direct from the
miller. This left the speciality grocer
little to handle but goods coming
| under the general classification OF
spices If you interpret the word In its
most liberal sense. Fresh vegetables
you see, were purchased in the farm
ers' markets.

Another War Threatens.

BRAINTREE, Mass, March 81,
1776.-Mrs. John Adams sent letter
by today's post st-express to her hus-
band, who is q member of the Con-
tinental Congress in Philadelphia,
and who is advocating an early dec
laration of independence. She wrote,
in part, as follows:
"I long to hear that you have de-
clared an independency. And, by the
way. in the new code of laws which
| suppose it will be necessary for you
10 make l desire you would remem-
Der the ladies' and be more generous
and favorable to them than your an
cestors. Do not put such unlimited
power into the hands of the hus-
bands Remember, all men would
be tyrants II they could. II particu-
lar care and attention is not paid to
the ladies', we are determined to TO-
ment a rebellion, and will not hold
ourselves bound by any laws in
which we have no voice or repre-
sentation.
That your sex are naturally ty-
rannical is a truth so thoroughly es-
tablished as to admit of no dispute;
but such of you as wish to be happy
willingly give up the harsh title of
master for the more tender and en-
dearing one of friend. Why, then,
not put it out of the power of the
vicious and the lawless to use us
with cruelty and indignity with i'm
punity? Men of sense in all ages
abhor those customs which treat us
only as the vassalS of your sex; re-
gard US, then. as beings placed by
Providence under your protection and
in imitation of the Supreme Being
make use of that power only for our
happiness"

The Biggest Piece.

What can do to make my chill
dren want to give each other the
biggest piece, the best seat, the first
turn? / tell them the bleSsedness of
giving. but they say they get nothing
out of it, I am afraid they Will
grow selfish"
They are selfish. We all are. How
many years did it take you to get
to the place where you could see the
biggest piece of cake on the plate go
to some one else? Did you get to
it before you lost your appetite for
sweets? Search a little and see how
far your unselfishness goes down, how
deep its roots strike. and be patient
with the children. They say openly
they want the biggest and best and
fight for it. We choke it down with
an effort and try to smile as we let
1t pass by.
Giving way to the other person is
q matter of training and practice. If
one does it long enough he does it
easily and time helps us to know that
in giving Fundamentally we are the
richer. We learn slowly through the
years that possession is an empty
achievement unless it is shared with
those we love and those who love us.
Children have not the experience
necessary to appreciate this. They
must acquire it as the years go by.
Begin by telling them that it is
selfish and unGenerous to take the
best of everything. Ignore their pro-
tests and their truthful statement
that all they get is the worst end
of it. They have to learn that get
ting the worst end of slice of cake
is not a lasting pain. Put the mat
ter on a sporting basis. Take turns
in having the largest and the best.
The children will get that idea sooner
than the self-sacrifice notion. 1t is
closer to their level of understanding.
Do not make the mistake of fore
ing a child to be unselfish. OF course
1t can never succeed. UnselfishneSs
rests on self-surrender and no child
can do that consciously and be un-
selfish. He will be multinous, and that
is a far cry from altruism.

deeply interested in missions. She
had a son, a healthy youngster, who
