| With the coming of the first rain less days in more than a week, the forces of the street departmnte. which have been mobilized for some time in preparation for the starting i Of the immense amount of street | resurfaclng necessary, have started i the work of repairing the ravages of winter or the highways of the city.
 Some preliminary work has been 1 done and some of the worst spots l have been patched, so that the 1 streets have been made passa bIe | where the damages Were the worst, i but the continuous rain has pre- vented the starting of the larger job of resurfacing More than a week 1 ago, the long row of little sand piles | appeared on West street preparatory to sanding and oiling and oil trucks came here to start work, when a severe spring snow storm halted the downfall of rain dispersed the sand so that the work had to be done over.
 Although the unusually open winter saved the city large sums in snow removal costs, the successive thaws and freezes added consider ably to the amount in repairing the roads, which were in worse condition l this spring than for many years. | In spite of the obstacles of bad weather, forces of the state highway department succeeded in finished the work of oiling and sanding | Pennington avenue, which in many [ places was almost impossible.
 Sewer Delayed Further Although the state legislature has passed the bill authorizing the city of Bristol 10 issue bonds for the pur- pose of financing the proposed sewer system for the Forestville section of the city, it is extremely doubtful that actual work of construction will be started for some time. The plans as prepared by the city en- gineer and discussed by the city council propose the incorporation of the new sewer system under the jurisdiction of the second taxing district, the district to be expanded outside of its present limits as the requirements of the new system may require.
 Because of the fact that Forest vile is below the level of the East Bristol sewer beds, the new system will be entirely apart from the pres ent system of Bristol An immense amount of work is in prospect be- fore construction can start. as only preliminary surveys have been made. The tentative plans include the in- stallation of a pumping station on site yet to be selected.
 Building and Loan Drive
 The Bristol Building and Loan association will conduct an intensive drive for new memb berS within a short time. The company has a large number of applications for loans, and it is hoped to obtain q large number of subscribers for shares of the Series A, which will be dated May l. 1929.
 There will be a meeting of mem- bers and interested persons who will assist in the drive at the em- ployes' club room of the Connecticut Light and Power Co. at 65 Riverside avenue at D, m. on Monday.

Recently a beautiful letter came
to me from man in Stanford

me of the change which had come
into his life because Of love. He
had been restless, dissatisfied. for
many years. He. had worked hard
and been paid for his work but
the payment did not quiet the
hunger in his heart. Then. last
Christmas. someone sent him
little book by Henry Drummond
called "The Greatest Thing n tie
World" And that changed his
whole viewpoint. lie saw people
ali about him expressing love to
each other on Christmas Day and
he thought how wonderful life
might be If that feeling were ex-
tended through the year. He de-
termined to try it.
DO you know, last year was
the happiest and most wonderful
year l have ever lived. he writes.

That is what love did for one
man. 1t warnaed and enriched his
whole life-it literally renewed
him. It did this because he broke
through the narrow confines OF
himself and merged himself. by
loving, with all other lives. Love
always does that, no matter how

force. It is the only experience
that pays.

SECRETS OF
HEALTH
by DIR. Louis E. Bisch-

@By Ur. LOUIS II. blScH-
THERE are few adults who
4 have not had measles. In fact,
measles is the comnonest OF ell
diseases i'm childhood.
Markedly prevalent though it is,
the cause of measles remains un.
known.
That is primarily why 1t is Inn
possible to control its spread from
one person to another. II doctors
knew the organism or poison which
produces measles, preventive anti
toxins might be made and definite,
precise steps taken to guard
against the disease. That time,
however. is not yet.
You may wonder why one should
bother so much about measles
when, generally speaking, every
hcdy gets 1t sooner or later and it
is, regarded as harmless con-
tagion.
That is just the point. Measles
is not as harmless as supposed.
Measles often runs into pneumonia.
Besides, the heart may become
weak. commissions may occur.
there may be coma.
In short. children may and do
die of measles. This is true of in
fants, especially. The death rate
may reach as high as 40 per cent.
Measles usually begins with an
acute cold, in the head with the
ordinary, so-called running nose.
A few days later the rash ap.
{ pears.
1t often starts behind the ears,
spreading rapidly to the neck, the
forehead. later the chest and back,
the trunk and finally the arms and
legs.
This rash is very characteristic.
It first looks like flea bites, that is,
a few small, dark-red spots here
and there. Soon, however, these
spots become broader patches and
run together. Often they become
raised and look like water blisters.
The rash lasts about four to six
DAYS and then so-called 'desqlla-
nation" sets in. During this stage
the rash fades and the skin be-
comes scaly.s like coarse powder.
After a week of this the skin is
again clear and healthy looking.
Throughout there are symptoms
of cold as regards the nose ana
throat. This varies in severity In
different children.
The fever in measles may run
quite high-to 105 degrees in Sc,
we're cases. In milder cases to 1O2
and 1913 degrees.
Digestive disturbances often ac.
company measles. and, during the
summer months this complication
of diarrhoea may become even
more serious than the compllca-
ton of pneumonia.
Another . serious complication
often seen in epidemics, is disease
of the middle ear. otitis.
Other serious complications. as
have indicated above. may. like
wise, follow in the wake of measles
and. therefore, parents should not
belittle the Importance of the con.
dition.
Now and again one hears of
mothers deliberately exposing their
children to contagion on the theory
that, since every child gets
measles. the sooner he gets it over
the better.
Every child. however, need not
get measles, and all children should
be protected against Catching 1t"
as much as possible.
One attack of measles usually
confers immunity against q sec
ond attack. This rule. on the
other hand. is not absolute.

MEDITATIONS
OF A WIFE
BY Helen Rowland.

nNE of the great fallaeies with
" which this gallant old world
has jollied itself, is the tacit as
sumption that man is a natural
varietist in his affections, and
that ne.woman.man" is an
anomaly, who belongs in the
Metropolitan Museum, along with
the other freaks.
Man has. somehow, got the idea
that he needs a change of heart
every few weeks or months or
years, according to his nature and
his opportunities.
The moment a woman irritates
him, he begins to wonder il he's
tired of her and ought to 80 out
and find a blonde or something as
a counter-irIitant.
One woman may be the leading
lady in his life, but still he Inn
a2ines that there ought to be ~
others to- make up the ensemble.
Yet, the most bored and miser-
able man In the world Is the hard
boiled bachelor OF forty who has
settled down to a life of continu-
Gus variety.
The truth is, that man is a crea-
ture of habit-and change is uts
terly abhorrent to him.
He likes his eggs and his bacon
cooked the same way. every. day,
year in and year out, his coat
hung in the same place. and his
hair cut in the same style.
He hates to have the furniture
moved around, his desk tidied UP,
or his chair moved from the
familiar corner. A new picture
on the wall, new shade on the
lamp or even a new frock on his
wife always give him a slight
shocks and brings little frown
Of apprehension to his forehead.
If he knocks the ashes from
his pipe into the Satsuma vase
or leaves his shoes under the
piano three times in succession
that's habit" and he keeps
right on doing it.
He sticks to the same political
: policies. reads the same comic
strips and votes for the same
party all his life.
1t takes him whole season to
get used to new hat on the
same old wife-and by that time
she is ready to throw it away. and
he is forced to readjust himself.
and get used to another one.
It is WOMAN who yearns for
constant change and variety. 1t
is woman who changes her fash
ions and invents a new way OF
doing her hair every year or SO.
Who is forever shortening her
skirts or letting them down: get
ting thin or getting fat; changing
ing it back again: moving from
apartment to apartment, and look
ing up the rates to Bermuda or
Florida or Paris or Reno.
Woman might have some. ex-
euse for claiming to be senti-
mental varietist. But though her
mind changes every few minutes,
her heart is naturally steadflst.
A normal woman is one-nlan-
: woman--no matter how TIRED
she may get of that one. man!
And by that same token, a
normal man is e-woman-man
at heart. and il he were told
that he would HAVE to trade off
his old wife for a brand new one
every few years, he would be
panic.stricken at the prospect.
Variety in love, like a taste for
olives or alcohol, is just cult
waited habit. Every man Is true
to one woman-in the abstractl
