RUSSIA TO TRAIN.
 WOMEN PILOTS.

By NEA Service
 Moscow-It is reported that the Soviet intends drafting women into the air service of the. country and will train many of them in an aerial destruction system to be devised by the government.

The first will drop bombs; the second, a heavier type plane. will drop explosives, the third will drop explosives, the third will drop incendiary bombs, and the fourth will release poison gases.

An alarming decrease in receipts may necessitate the indeflnite post ponement of a third prosecuting at torney to the city court of Water bury. To comply with the provisions of the ripper bill" passed in the general assembly without the sanc- tion of Mayor Frank Hayes or members of the board of aldermen 1t would be necessary to ind an ap- propriation of $2,000 for the re- rnaining six months of the year.

naries to almost unimagined future
achievements. Today power lights
our houses, operates our refrigera-
tors and washing machines and sim
liar devices, and keeps the machin-
cry in our factories going. TomOr-
row it will do thousands of things
more. The work of the home, the
farm and the industry will begin and
end when a switch is turned.
The result will be, of course, in
ntely higher standards OF living
than we now enjoy There will be
more leisure, more time in which to
enjoy the fruits of effort. The
housewife, the industrial worker
the farmer-all will be immeasur-
ably benefited by the increased ap-
plication Of power TO daily tasfis. 1t
may be that the harnessing of cleo
tric power was the most important
single even in the history of the
world.
And this development has resulted
from the urge for achievement that
follows encouragement of private
initiative and enterprise as we
know it in this country.

TURKEYS FOR MARKET

What the well-dressed Thanks
giving or Christmas turkey will wear
this year as it comes from the mar
ket ready for final preparation in
the kitchen is indicated in the sched-
ule of Tentative United States Stand
ards and Grades for Dressed Tur-
keys, a style sheet which the Bureau
of Agricultural Economics has issued
to guide the work of the Federal
turkey graders this fall. These tur-
key graders are the men who are
authorized to afiX grade tags to the
birds. The four grades are: U. S.
Special, U. S. Prime, U. S. Choice,
and U. S. Commercial. The birds are
also classified as young or old tur-
keys.
A young hen turkey that grades
U. S. Prime must satisfy rather strict
quality requirements. The specifi
cations for such a bird are: Young,
soft-meated female bird, with we'll
fleshed breast, and with entire car
cass well covered with fat. Must be
well bled, well dressed, with breast
practically free of pin feathers, and
only few scattered pin feathers over
remainder of carcass. Crop must be
empty. Only very slight flesh or
skin bruises, abrasions, or discolor-
ations permitted, with breast prac-
tically free of such defects. Slightly
dented breast bones mot to exceed
one-half inch) permitted, but no
crooked breasts that would interfere
with the slicing of the meat or other
deformities allowed. Broken wings
above the wing tips or broken legs
not permitted. A disjointed leg or
wing permitted if only slightly
bruised. Birds with crops properly
removed and sewn up may be in
cluded in this grade. Must be-dry
picked or semi-scalded and dry
packed"
Where a dozen birds are packed
in box, the weights of the lightest
and heaviest birds should not vary
by more than pounds.

NEW MOVE AGAINST
DUCK BOOTLEGGERS
MULTIPLIES FORCE

Every game warden deputy
United States game protector and
every conservation field employees
an officer with authority to make ar
rests, is the latest movement started
by a number of states to prevent
the emergency short season on wa
terfOwl from resulting in an orgy
of poaching by duck bootleggers.
Many states have agreed to have
their entire field force deputized as
federal officers, and dozens of duck
clubs have already had their super
intendents so appointed, according
to information received from the
Bureau of Biological Survey by Off
cials of the American Game Associ-
alton. This was announced as the
first definite step to block the worst
effects expected of the one-month
limited shooting season, which con-
servationists have warned would
defeat the purpose of the federal
regulation by leaving the field open
to illegal commercial slaughter.
The normal force of federal pro-
tectors has been recognized as far
below a number adequate to enforce
the ruling, especially with interest
ed sportsmen out of the field dur
ing most of the wintering season
and with scarcity of water promis-
ing to cause a helpless concentra-
tion Of the remaining waterfowl
supply.
One prominent sportsman of Lou
isiana has anonymously volunteer
ed to pay the salary of two addition
al United States game protectors
during the four months of concen-
tration in that state, the associa-
tion reports. 1t has urged that
others follow this example.
The Michigan Conservation De-
partment has set the pace in MAX
ing conservation officers of all field
men, including state foresters and
fire wardens.
In certain communities where |
duck hunting is looked upon as al
most supporting industry, and es-
pecially in the east where the wa
terfowl shortage will not be felt as
much as elsewhere, the feeling is .
running high against the reduced .
season." said Seth Gordon, president I
Of the association. This can only .
be looked upon as a healthy reac-
lion promising a greater inter est in
A practical means of restoring the
grounds, the destruction
Of which is the chief cause of the
present waterfowl shortage"

HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Never turn electricity off or on
when you are standing on a wet or
even a damp floor. If you do so, the
current is likely to pass through
your body. Also avoid turning light
switches on or off when standing in
a wet place, like a freshly mopped
floor, or when your hands are wet.
Roasts from the so-called tender
cuts of meat are better cooked with
out water. In case there is not very
much fat, get an extra piece of suet
and skewer it to the top. Place the
meat in very hot oven to scar on
the outside. Then reduce the tenn
perature and cook slowly until done.
A pillow may be washed Just as it
is, but a better method is as fol-
lows: Transfer the feathers to a
larger cotton bag by sewing the
edges of its opening to the opening
of the tick. Shake the feathers from
one to the other. Sew by the open
ing and washin lukewarm water, US
ing neutral soap. Rinse we'll. Press
as much of the water out as possible
and place on a cloth in the sun.
Turn often and beat up from time
to time. Wash the tick separately,
and tarch it on the inside with
stiff starch mixture, applied with a
brush or sponge. Transfer the fea-
theirs again when dry.

DON'T BLINK FACTS

A weakness that every man must
fight is the tendency to blink facts.
The apple sauce that we feed
others doesn't hurt us, but when we
take large doses ourselves the diet
is dangerous.
1 don't think much of the formula,
Every day in every way 1 am get
ting better and better"
What most of us need is cold
check-up. "Am as good a man to-
day as I was five years ago? Am l
doing my job as well? Am I get
ting soft? Am l loafing? Am l ac-
quiring extrayagant habits?
1t takes courage to give oneself a
close size-tlp.- -..
Our friends are sizing us up ev-
cry day. If our neck is dirty they
see it. If our head is swelled they
notice it. We can't forestall such
by stupidity telling our
selves that all's well.

Poison The Rats

Success in rat control depends
principally on the bats used and
the manner of mixing and distribut-
ing them, says the U. S. Department
of Agriculture. The kin dof poison is
less important than the kind of
bait. The department recommends
bats with one kind of each of the
following classes of food: cereals,
such as bread, corn meal, and rolled
oats; meats such as Hamburg
steak, fresh fish, sardines, and eggs;
fruits and vegetables, such as ap-
pies, melons, and tomatoes. Use
only fresh bait and distribute it
each evening. Rats do not usually
eat stale food. Add water if neces-
sary to make the bait moist. In dry
weather bats moistened to the con-
sistency of soft mush are especial
ly acceptable to rats. A successful
way of exposing bats is to wrap
teaspoonful quantities in small
squares of newspaper or put them
in small closed paper sacks. Barium
carbonate or red squill is usually
the best poison. Keep the poison
away from livestock and all ire
sponsible persons.
