WATER

The Western Connecticut Basket ball League opened with & crash that was heard all over Litchfield County, when four teams of the loop swung into action. Watertown engaged Litchfield in Watertown, while Leavenworth was staging 8 battle in Thomaston. Watertown boys, locally known as the Indians. put on exhibition of point making which surprized the most ardent "Rooters'. In the first half the lo- cal boys set up such st pace that they found themselves out in the clear so suddenly that many easy shots were missed from sheer over anxiousness. However, at half time the Tribe was leading at a 26 to 1 score. It was sweet re- venge for the olng string of de- feats which Litchfield Cowboys have tied on the boys in the past. The final count showed a 50 to s6 score. N
 Captain Miller played last night with a severely injured side which he favored quite noticeably. It Is hoped he will be able to play his regular poppy game next week. when Thomaston comes to Water town for the game next week.
 In the preliminary game the In- dian Maidens lost another heart breaker to a 16 to II score. LAtch- field presented a i've veteran team whose passwork was very good. The local girls exhibited some nice team play but just couldn't regis ter when points were needed. The local girls did q very gooc job con sidering that there are but tive veterans from last year on the team.

More Lamps and More
Decorative Ones

they re not necessary for
lighting.
If you go into homes where
money is no object and the
best decorative brains in the
country have been given free
rein (and all of us can go
into many Of these homes
through the pages of the
decorating magazines, at
least) one Of the first things
you IL notice is an abundance
Of lamps.
Types the Same
Fortunately it isn't neces-
sary to be a millionaire to
have plenty of lamps. Nor
to have the same type lamps
they have.
True, the materials used
in the lamps most of us have
can't compare with theirs.
But the actual types can be
the same. Because the types
Of lamps most in fall fashion
range in price from as little
to as much as anybody wants
to pay.
Candle lamps are one of
these types. This is the table
lamp that corresponds to the
candle floor lamp which is
the most fashionable kind of
floor lamp today.
The candle table lamp
comes in English brass or
bronze finish and is used
with shades of stretched silk,
pleated silk or parchment. It
may be short and squatty to
go with heavy furniture, or
tall and slender to fit into
delicate furnishings scheme.
All Smart Colors
You can get smart color
accents from the fashionable
pottery bowl lamp. The bases
come in clear colors like
green, yellow, oxblood, blue,
and even white. The shade
is usually parchment, usu-
ally with a floral pattern
such as the one sketched.
If you've gone in for
Eighteenth Century type
furniture, as so many fash
ionable folks have, you'll ap-
preciate the beauty of the
classic urn lamp, now made
in low priced ranges as we'll
as high.

Helps to Kitchen
Happiness
Contributed by S. Kann Sons Co.

Modern women know how
important good cooking is.
They know that health is de-
pendent upon it, and that
their families must not only
have good food, but we'll
cooked food. So they con-
centrate much of their
e-ergy in the kitchen, per-
fecting their skill, moderniz-
ing their equipment, and
studying meals for balance
and nutrition.
Gets Science Aids
Science comes to the aid Of
the modern housewife by
giving her every possible in
vention for better cooking.
Just a trip through the pots
and pans in an up-to-date
store is inspiration to the
woman who is interested in
her home. There are new
cookers that always have an
even heat. There are new
electric appliances that make
cooking easier and less heat
ing to the cook. There are
marvellous devices for pre-
pairing vegetables that take
hours off the work. The
whole kitchen, in fact, has
undergone a change, all in
the cause of less work for
Mother, and better meals for
the whole family.
Vegetable Crater
Here are a few things that
you may not have seen, and
they are merely typical of
the many others you can
find. There's a marvellous
new vegetable crater. that

gers. 1t uses the vegetables
down to the smallest piece,
and is stain-proof and rust
proof. It's especially good
for small shreds like shoe
string potatoes and slaw.
Aluminium Kettles
Then there's good news III
aluminium kettles and cook
ers of various types. The
newest Of them have a plain
edge instead of a beading
about the edge, so that
grease and dirt cannot col
lect around the edges. And
there is a new composition
used on the bottom of ket-
ties, waterless cookers and
frying pans, that saves heat,
,circulates it evenly, and pre-
vents burning. This is
called "black bottom" alum
mum, and it is also easier
to keep clean.
The Washington times., 1931-09-30

prices because the holders
had to sell. These savings
have been passed along to
the stores customers. Be-
cause the goods were well
made and of standard quail
ity, at very low prices, they
sold readily. Sooner or later,
many buyers went back to
the markets looking for
more such goods at the same
prices and couldn't find
them. Result: the occasional
unscrupulous buyer went to
a poorer manufacturer and
induced him to make cheap
substitutes, in the mistaken
belief that he must per-
petuate the low price levels
which had been brought
about by glutted market.
The same thing may happen
soon in furniture.
Worse Than None
Shoddy furniture is worse
than none at all. Sometimes
it looks pretty good out
wardly, but inside the frame
is poor, necessary bracing is
left out, stuffing is cotton
batting instead of down, and
it takes a year to two to
find that out.
If you know good mer-
chandise, you can shop
around this week and pick
up some wonderful bargains
in really good furniture and
furnishings. If you have not
that much confidence in your
own judgment of technical
details, shop this week in
any Of the good stores in
whom you have confidence
and leave it to their mer-
chandise experts and their
testing laboratories to in
sure that you get nothing
but the kind of merchandise
which, two or three years
from now, you will look
upon as one of the few
pleasant memories of that

the right decorative note in
your room.
The answer to question
No. Are there enough-is
probably no. And that goes
for everyone, no matter how
completely furnished your
home is. Because it's almost
impossible these days to have
enough lamps, so important
a fashion have they become.
Increases Interest
The fashion of using many
small tables scattered about
the room, instead of one
large table as formerly, is
responsible for the increased
Importance Of table lamps.
And there's such a big
variety of decorative ones
that folks use them for
decoration even when
The Washington times., 1931-09-30

Pottery, china, pewter,
bronze, alabaster - they re
all fashionable materials for
these graceful shaped lamps.
And if you want something
decidedly new, try an urn
lamp in white. For white is
the newest, smartest accent
color.
Because Of the fashion for
Queen Anne furniture,
there's also a fashion for
Chinese type lamps. In fact
for Chinese accessories of
many kinds. That's because
England was opening up
trade with China in Queen
Anne's day and Chinese
things were being brought
into those old-time fashion
able homes.
Chinese Patterns
Chinese celadon lamps are
a fashion in many homes to-
day. But there's a soft, green
pottery that initiates the
celadon quite satisfactorily
at a much lower price. Try
it with a pleated shade Of
soft gold color silk if you
want it at it's smartest.

English Types
Predominant

Upholstered groups and
pieces this fall seem to be
lighter in scale without sac
rificing any Of their COM
fort or roominess. They
are in unusually good taste
and with a grace Of line
that is bound to add charm
to the rooms where they are
placed. Huge Chesterfields
and other roomy English
types of sofas and chairs
take their accustomed places
in the fall displays. Tradi-
tion keeps these latter de-
signs popular, and they are
always in good taste when
appropriately used.
