MOTORCYCLES DECREASE
635 Less Than 1925 and SIP Less
 Than 1924

Motoreycles continued to decrease in Connecticut during the year just past, it is indicated by the state motor vehicle department registration rec ord for 1926. During the year, 3,399 motorcycles were registered by private owners, decrease of 635 from the previous year and of SIP from the year 1924.
 The number of motorcycle operators licensed dropped to 97s during 1926, from n total of 1. .227 in 1925 and = 520 in 1924. There are now only about a third as many licensed motorcyclists in Connecticut as there were ten years ago.
 Municipally owned motorcycles, many of them used by police depart ments. increased slightly in 1926, the total for that year being l72. as against total ef is registered in 1925.
 The demand for motor hearses ap- pears to have increased approximate lv in proportion to the increased de mand for four-wheel motor vehicles, but evidently not as g result of it.. Registrations were issued for 100 mo- tor hearses in Conn actieut during la25 and for 21i in 1926 Motor vehicle fatalities in 1926. however. did not nee cessitate any increase in the number of hearses. for the tentative totals in- dicate that automobiles caused less deaths in Connecticut last year than in the previous year.

NO NEED OF LAW
States Attorne / Bradford Feel Habitual Criminal Statute
 Provides Plenty Penalty

States Attorney Howard C. Brad ford of Windham county is one of six states attorneys to go on record as unfavorahle Co legislation in this state providing that a person convicted for a felony for fourth time may b. sentenced Co life imprisonment. The Baumes law of New York. over which there Is so much controversy. makes the life sentence mandatory. while the bill introduced into the general as. sembly of this state would leave the matter of imposing the extreme pen. alty discretionary with the court
 Attorney Bradford's statement. fur nished for q poll made hy the Hart ford "Couraut, is as follows
 The law k uucalled for. r is a weak attempt to copy the New York Baames law. and because life impris- onment is not mandatory lacks the teeth of that law. It is very doubtful fl any judge would feel called upon to impose life sentence when under the present habitual criminal law he can give thirty year sentence. Mr. AL ing appropriately pointed out that inn position of life sentence would require the summoning of a grand jury Any possible benefit derived by prose eutor from the law would be counter balanced by the necessity of calling grand jury.

Proposed Combine Includes Fourteen of Principal Con
 cerns In Country
Will Be Largest AmslgamatiOn In
 Textile Field

According to a leading article In the Textile World. the Edward Bloom Company. with mill on Providence street. Putnam. and another mill in New London. Is included in list of silk manufacturers said to be inter ested in d gigantic merger of the prip- eipal silk manufacturing concerns Of the country. If the combine is ac- eomplished 1t will result in the largest nmalgamation in the textile field
 The article in the Textile World" is a lengthy one. The following Is talk en from 1t showing that the matter of a merger is in an embryo state and that those directly interested have nothing Go say al the present time
 25,ooo Looms
 One of the largest mergers of tex tile mills ever accomplished is now in the formative stage in the silk indus try. None of the principal executives associated with the merger Is willing to make any statement because Of the fact that final binding steps have not yet been taken. The project definitely includes some fourteen te sixteen con eerns with others as possibilities, and is said to represent q total loom ea- pacity in the neighborhood of 25,000.
 Merchants in position to know the inside details are enthusiastic over the constructive step which they see In this new amalgamation. The various deficiencies which are possible through unified executive control offer to the present individual mill owners greater opportunities for profit in the anal gamation than do their continued op- cration, each playing lone hand.
 In addition to centralized direction of mill operation and raw material purchasing in such merger as is forming there will be centralized sell ing of product. The service to the buy CT in having products which now are available to him in a variety of loca- tions. centralized in one place. and deliveries and invoices cleared through one agency is very important ele- ment in assuring the success of the entire project by bringing favorable reaction from the constituent concerns customers.
 As matters stand in the silk indus try. various members of the trade ire quently compete against each other for raw material supplies and actually push up raw silk market levels to their joint disadvantage. The effect of seg repating and unifying an important group of these buyers of raw silk will unauestionably stabilize the develop ment of the raw material market in the future. Raw material purchasing bv this combination will act as n bal ance wheel. supporting the market at times when a slump might bring in veptorv losses to the silk industry as n whole. and avoiding undue peaks by staying out of the market when manip- ulatien is obviously the only source of the markets upward swing.

Sleep For Children

It is a good plan to form the habit of an early bed hour for the younger children. All children while awake are ever active, and if their day con tinues into the evening hours, this means for each child more activity than he should expend in his daya time. While adults need eight hours of sleep to restore their strength and freshen them after the days work. children need even more. School chil- dren need at least ten hours, and younger children from ten to twelve hours
 Some children do not sleep soundly. This is because they have played too hard during the day without sufficient relaxation. or they have eaten too heartily at the supper hour For chil- dren who are inclined to be over-ac- tive. rest period each day should be insisted upon. This may be taken in the early afternoon, or after play, just before supper.
 Sleeping with the windows open is the best habit. since the movement of fresh air helps to keep the child healthy. These and other health dis cussions are held at the monthly Well Child Conference.
 The conference this month will be held on Wednesday afternoon. Febru- ary 9th, in Emergency Hospital, from to p. m.

 It is impossible at the present stage of developments to obtain the name of the new corporation which is to take over the constituent companies. Meth CT is it possible prior to definite organ izatiOn. to name the capitalization. A little consideration of the size and worth of the concerns whose names have been associated with this plan, indicates that an approach of Sl00.- 000 GOO would not be an extreme eapi- talization as warranted by the assets. goodwill and earning capacity of the probable constituents.
 The proposed merger covers. as has been said approximately 25,000 leoms which is about one-ffth of the total homage of the silk industry, which in 1923 was given as l27 900. Such an aggregation though large. is not large enough to be considered as mon opolistic,

For those whe will never come

ORANGES FOR HEALTH

One of the strongest reasons why
the use of oranges is increasing 50
rapidly is because the public is be-
coming convinced that the grange is
heaithtul fruit. Of course, the CO.
operation Of the orange growers has
been helpfrl in producing better
grades If fruit, and in contrc ling
shipment and refrigeration. We can
now depend upon getting fruit of q
better flavor and with better keep
ing qualities.
The average person, however,
does not use oranges for food be-
cause of their flavor, color or cost.
II you will ask the next ten people
you meet why they use oranges,
probably every one will tell you that
it is because they think it Is good
70. them. They have arrived at this
opinion mainly because Of their own
experience, as they will tell you
they feel better when using oranges
in their diet.
Scientific investigation ha 8
proved that oranges do have a
healthful value. This is not new
discovery, for we find as early as
l646 Ferrarius wrote one of the
first books on citrus fruits, in which
he recommended orange juice for
"pestilent fevers accompanied by
cruptions." At that time q water
was distilled from the orange flow
ers and was said to be of Joyous
odor and good for q sluggish
stomach"
A good deal has been written in
recent years about the vitamins in
oranges, and while these substances
have never been actually seen, it is
believed from experimentation that
the citrus fruits contain large
amounts Of at least the vitamins A,
B, and C.
Orange juice is now a regular
part OF the diet of babies. It is
recommended by physicians because
of the fruit sugar, and also because
of the vitamin c which is some-
times deficient in milk. Oranges
contain 6 goodly amount of calcium,
even though they are considered an
acid fruit. This calcium is used by
the body in building bones, and it
is especially important that young
babies secure enough of this ele-
ment from their foods.
The citric acid in the orange and
other citrus fruits acts as a valu-
able stimulant to digestion, espe-
cially increasing the b'''.ry flow,
this makes 1t especially helpful to
those who have q tendency to slug
gishness Of the liver. One who has
been bilious good deal cannot take
better treatment than to live for
few days exclusively on a citrus
fruit diet. After the good has been
accomplished with such fruit fast,
