REMINGTON BOARD
 APPROVES PLANS
Will Buy Fire Hose-To Divide
 Equipment Costs

Newington, Dec. G-Whcn the n- ation for the purchase of hose for the volunteer fire department and suggested a plan whereby each fire district and the town divide the cost Of equipment equally, which plan was accepted by the Center fire dis trict, 1t was taken for granted that the matter was permanently settled. However, meeting Of thc Commis- sioners of the Maple Hill Fire Dis trict will be held Monday evening, December F, at which time this same matter will h" discussed. lt is not known whether or not thr commissioners will approve the plan but 1t has been intimatcI that thc commissioners will approve no plan which calls for tho expenditure of money for the purchase of equip mont for another lire district. If such is the case, there will probably he a mectin gof the fire district in the near future 10 vote on the plan.
 The point in question centrrs around the fact that although lhc volunteer fire department at inc Center is a truly Ncwington affair, Maple lIll fro district receives no benefits from 1t as far as insurance rates are concerned. The fact that rho district as q whole is outside the two mile limit precludrs a further reduction in rates than has already been brought about by the installa- lion Of the new water system. Resi- dents Of the district feel. and right Iy so. that they should not l." r"- quir"d to cNpond money for some plan by which they do not benefit.
 The plan will he thoroughly dis russcd at tho meeting of the com- misSionors Monday evening and their decision will be awaited with much interest.

Your Baby and Mine
BY MYRTLE MEYER ELDRED.

Mrs. II. F. S. writes: II have always
been interested in your column and
have had a great deal of help from
| it. Please do not think I am trying to
| dictate, but a great many mothers or
my acquaintance have the mistaken
| idea that a, baby should be wrapped
| in wooIens until it is impossible for
any air to reach the little body
Won't YOU please write an article tell
ing of the harm of too many wooden
clothes? | know one mother whose
doctor told her to keep wooden shirts
on her 1S-month-old baby all Sum-
mer. except perhaps in the very hot
weather. Don't you think this would
make the baby sick? He also made
her keen the baby in all Winter and
the result was that this home was
visited by a doctor every week and
the baby had some severe illnesses.
Naturally the mother thinks the doc
tor knows more than | do, although
NV baby has never worn wool; has
had a sun bath, stripped, before an
omen window all Winter and sleeps
out of doors in all weather, and has
never had cold. If l could help Just
one little baby to be comfortable l
would feel very happy. Thanking you
for helping me over rough places"
Answer-It seems to me that your
sensible letter says all that one could
say on the subject of over-coddling.
/ still think the part wool and cotton
band, of light weight. is all right for
the baby to wear all Summer, especial
ly the baby with no thick layer of fat
to protect the abdomen, but otherwise
there is little necessity for wooden on
a baby in Summer. In cold weather
that is another matter, and lighter
weight clothes of wool are better than
heavyweight cotton.
Also one cannot make hard and
fast rules about clothing. for some
babies live in Summer temperature
the year round and need no heavier
clothing, except out of doors, in their
hot homes, than they need in Sum-
mer. Such babies obviously would be
overdressed in wooden. garments; while
the baby in drafty. cold house, with
inadequate heating arrangements,
would be frozen if dressed the same
way. In the particular case you men
ton undoubtedly any child OF IL
months who wore wooden shirt
would be too warm in hot weather.
1t really behooves the mother to use
her own judgment about clothing al
WAYS. 1t is nothing which can be
settled arbitrarily by an outsider who
does not know the child or the home
conditions. The mother who will take
a child out on a bitter day with bare
legs, dressed in thin clothes and Il
thin little sweater, is undoubtedly at
the other extreme from the mother
who would bundle her child in woolens
in the Summertime. Such mothers
seem to have no sense of values and
it is hard to teach them any.

speaks careless laundering of fringed
articles so much as matted fringe, it
is important to know the best ways
of keeping the strands straight and
separate. One method is to give the
fringe a good start, and the other a
good finish. The combination insures
excellence.
The Right Start.
To give the fringe the right start
depends on the shape of the cloth
and the doilies. The napkins will
have straight edges. If the fringe is
on the straight of the goods, pull the
threads to the desired depth. With
cotton that matches the tone of the
bordering Gf any. or the color of
the fabric, whip the edges. Be sure
to make this whipping as exact as
if you were hemstitching, working
according to threads. This is espe-
cially important when the contrasting
tone is used, for then only are these
stitches decorative. If the thread
matches the fabric stitches should
show as little as possible. These
stitches hold the strands in tiny
groups of three or possibly four or five
threads, according to the fineness of
the goods and the work.
Shape.
When the articles are oval or round
the shape must be clearly marked in
the stamping of goods or by penciling
