 Der in our state forests Such work serves a triple purpose. It affords employment for those accustomed to hard labor. It provides fuel for many who won't be able to af- ford it this winter. It aids in beautifying our public lands. Forest must be thinned out if they are to mature properly. Of course such work must be under expert supervision An carly start would be an impetus to the return of stable conditions.

Hartford has started nice idea in creat- ing hall of fame for its pioneer industrial ists. It is one that any other city of this state with the industrial history of Water bury might well copy. It certainly goes hand in hand with the project that the Chamber of Commerce up there has already under way, namely, of indicating various historical sites throughout the city with ap- propriate markers Wednesday afternoon eight portraits of men who contributed greatly to the industrial founding of Hart ford were unveiled at the State Trade School. A large bronz statue the work ot a Windsor sculptress also occupies promi- nent place in the hall of fame It is symbolic of industry. It represents mechanic seated in chair with blueprints in hand and an invention at his feet. Funds for creating the hall of fame and erecting the tablets and statue were provided in the most part by families of those honored Wednesday. Wa terbury has long list of pioneers in the brass industry who might well be honored in some similar fashion. In like manner there are numerous spots throughout the city that are completely ignored in the days work yet they are closely allied with the building up of the city. Marking them would be appreciated by local residents as well as visitors.

Sales Tax

The proposal of general sales tax in the United States doesn't seem to meet with much enthusiasm. Merchants naturally op- pose it because it would make trouble and expense for them. But there are pretty sound economic reasons for opposition. re- sardIess of the interests of any particular slas. It is more important to improve bus lness than to devise new tax methods.

The President Is Urged

The American Federation of Labor offers a concrete plan to cure our unemployment cancer. The Federation proposes an imme- diate adjustment to a five-day week and if necessary six-hour day. in order to distribute more equitably all available work. The President of the United States is urged by the Federation's Executive Council to as- sembe a national conference of representa- tves of industry and labor. It is believed that such conference could do more than legislative bodies.
 Evidently in the faith that Congress could enact unemployment relief legislation Sena tors Couzens and Blaine, Representative Pat man of Texas and other members of Con- gress have urged the President to call spe- cial session. A recent issue of The Nation entitled page summarizing the countrys grave condition Mir Hoover, Call Congress! The Hearst newspapers urge five billion dollar prosperity loan to be raised by Fed eral bond issue and spent for wages and material.
 The din at Hoover's ear grows hourly. He is warned that in 1933 he himself may be among the unemployed. But even more ominous are the rumblings of "a rebellion of the army of unemployed which will up- set our present political system unless in- dustry and government cooperate with labor" These are the words of William Green. head of the Federation of Labor. eehoing what is heard on every street corner.

- Let's Go Shopping

Maybe its because dresses are
50 unusually alluring2 that
women, aren't able to resist.
Maybe it's q reaction from the
financial upset that's held most
Of us down for so long. But at
any rate, the stores are crowded!
And so many lovely new de-
tails keep popping up at every
turn that we scarcely can re-
member all Of them! One quite
noticeable thing Is this twisted
buSineSS-at the neck and cuffs,
and the twisting Of q sash.
There's one on the satin dress
over on the left. Dull and shiny
surfaces Of this contrasting satin
sash make an interesting effect
as they worm their way around
the waist. Frayed ends Of the
sash in fringe effect remind US
Of that same detail that we
found so smart in scarfS. We
like the dress in black with the
sash Of brilliant green. though
you can probably find it In lots
Of combinations.
Detailed FagOtting
But, as every one who has
looked for fall clothing knows,
one Of the most reCurrent details
is fagotting. In this satin dress,
it's q jagged effect, and seems
to point at those rhinestone but
tons that add O little forrnality
to the dress. The sleeves, as you
see, grow right out Of the dress,
the way dolmar ones are apt to.
And just off hand-what would
you say q dress like this would
cost? You'd never guess. so

trimming Is velvet on q dress

It has become the regular
custom to give the baby Q few
drops Of cod liver oil every day
as an addition to its regular
diet. This Is to furnish 1t

especial attention must be d.
rected to see that 1t Is present
in the infants diet.
A Spring Tonic
It was not 50 long ago that
the valuable properties Of cod
liver oil for this purpose were
discovered. Thirty years ago
the advertisement Of Q well
known emulsion with the happy
fisherman holding the enormous
cod over his back was an indi.
cation Of the popularity Of its
use. AS q spring tonic and O
general tonic for tuberculosis
1t was widely used. But be.
cause there was no theoretical
basis for its beneficial actions
the doctors scoffed.
Then in 1919, McCollurn and
SimondS were able to produce
the bony changes Of ricketts, by
giving a faulty diet to an ex.
perimental animal-the rat.
The late DR.. John Rowland.
who taught diseases Of children
at Johns Hopkins University,
found that cod liver oil would
cause the bones Of these rats
to become normal.
Food For Babies
From this time the addition
Of cod liver oil to the infants
diet has been o regular thing.
The strength Of the product
can be tested out on animals in
whom ricketts, has been expert.
mentally produced to see that
it is potent. Unless the oil
produces the line of healing
rickets in the bone on an X-ray
plate it Is not good enough to
put on the market. Thus the
use Of cod liver oil in the
infants diet has been put on
the most scientific basis.
I recently visited a cod liver
oil factory. The process Of ex-
tracing the oil from the cod
NyerS Is most interesting and
carried out with great care,
cleanliness and ingenuity.
