HOW TO COMBAT
 GAS POISONING
Milk Always Considered the Best Remedy in Absence
 of the Doctor
SAVED MANY LIVES

Whats the best thing to do for a person suffering from monoxide gas poisoning? Call the doctor. and in the meantime, get the patient out in the air and force milk into his system. This is the answer given to question on this matter the other night. The doctor was not called. Dit the milk remedy was ap- piled and worked all right.
 Before the advent of the au.o- mobile, people did not know much about gas asphyxiation. but there were some cases of it about town. 1t was not unusual to see employees of the Gas Company carried out of ditches os limp as corpes and folks standing around not knowing what to do If the case was about the center somebody made a rush for one of Tom Kelly's stores and re- turned with a quantity of milk. which usually had the desired eff feet. This reminds the writer of the fact that a good many bottles of milk left Kelly's for this purpose for which he never received any compensation, but he used to say he was amply repaid provided the pa tient recovered.
 Sometimes business mans good nature is imposed upon and Tom Kelly was no exception. During period of depression years ago. 1t was understood by the clerks in Kelly's stores that they never should refuse loaf of bread to a man who dropped in and said he was hungry and wanted something to eat. And it goes without saying that the word was passed around and the clerks had many callers. One fine Sunday evening 8 few young men were discussing this matter in a club room and finally decided to have supper at the bakers expense. One of them rot known to the clerks succeeded in pawning himself off as a Wandering Willie in hard luck and returned to the club room with loaf of bread and a package of crackers which were disposed of in short order
 But this is getting away from the subject. The writer was asked the other night what to do for young man who was partially knocked out in his garage. He suggested hur- ried call for the doctor and also the use of milk. The latter was tried l and proved satisfactory without the I doctor. but even so the safest plan is to secure medical attendance as quickly as possible, for it does not take monoxide long to deprive one of life.

HIBERNIANS TO
 INSTALL OFFICERS
State and County Officers Will Be Here Next Sun=
 day Afternoon
TO HOLD SOCIAL SESSION

The officers of Monsignor SlOcum branch, A. o. H.. will be installed Sunday afternoon at o'clock in their hall on East Main street by County President William T. Looney of New Haven. The county chap lain, Father Rice of New Haven and the state officers are expected to be present.
 The committee in charge of the arrangements requests that all the members be in attendance. After the ceremony, a social session will be held at which short addresses will be made by the visitors and the local officers.
 Inasmuch as the next state con vention is to be held in Waterbury this year, and there is also a move ment on foot for the establishment of a Hibernian home in Connecticut It is likely that these matters will be discussed. The organization has had under consideration for many years a home for aged members of the order, but nothing definite has yet been done about 1t. In the optn- ion of most of the members. a home should be secured in some part or the state. Many believe 1t should be located in Waterbury, others believe New Haven would be more central, and there are those who favor other places, but the majority would be satisfied to see such an institution in existence and would not care whe- ther 1t was in Waterbury or some other town. Most organizations have homes for aged members and 1t Is about time the Hibernians got busy and took hold of this matter by the appointment of an active committee which will have something to submit to the state convention.

Drivers Still Ignore
 "Keep To Right" Idea
Stoeckel in Special Radio Paper Finds Many Accidents
 Due to Disregard of Rule

'The appeal to common sense in this rule should call for it's close ob- servance. The conclusion that every body will follow it is not yet justi- fled. however. Occasionally one finds an operator proceeding on the wrong side of the road, apparently on the theory that he owns the whole road as long as he does not have to share it with anyone else. Perhaps this is good legal theory, but it is not insistcnce on legal rights which is wanted in modern opera tion so much as it is to have oper- ators exercise foresight and travel on the highway in the manner safest for everyone.
 ''There is no question as to the right side being the safest place. Driving on the right may become so universal in Connecticut, that there will be no exceptions. But until more experience warrants the con clusion that the millennium has come in this respect, it will pay every operator to exercise great care wherever there is location at which the view ahead is obstructed in any way"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-01-22

Two or three serious automobile accidents occur every day itl this state because operators fail to keep to the right when driving along the highways, according to the records of the Connecticut department of motor vehicles. During the first ten months of 1880 driving on the wrong side of the road was the di- rect cause of 955 accidents. an aver age of about 95 a month. This aver age was higher than in 1929, and in that year the average was slightly higher than in the previous year. in- dicating that this careless practice is increasing.
 "It has become a rule" said Commissioner of Motor Vehicles Robbins E. Stoeckel in a bulletin read from WTIC, the Travellers sta ton, this afternoon that one must drive on the right hand side of the road. The rule is so universally known, and the practice so uni formly expected, that most operators no longer use extraordinary caution in going around curves where the sight line is obstructed. They expect approaching vehicles to be on the right side of the road.

The Bremen Out

Twice within six minutes of each other two bell alarms called out six companies of fire apparatus early this morning.

district court would take care of not only local cases but also those in Wolcott. Middlebury and Prospect.
 In general majority of the mem- bers present last night were opposed to many of the features of the bill. Others believed that the theory was good but that immediate action should be delayed until the plan had been worked out carefully.
 One chief objection was that the district court would do away with local adjudication and in some cases perhaps work hardship or persons accused of minor violations of the law. who would have to travel a considerable distance to be heard blythe court In their respective dis tricts. For instance. persons in Wa tertown would have to go to Torring- ton to have their cases heard.
 It was also stated that the salaries proposed for the judges in the new district courts are too low. Higher standards of the courts. it was de- clared. With low salaries high class lawyers could not consider go- ing on the bench as they would suf- fer loss due to their inability to prac- tice in the lower courts.

Five minutes time was sufficient this morning to dispose of business in police court.
 Milton Fort, A, of Naugatuck was found guilty on the charge of breach of the peace and assessed $5 and costs. In a companion case, Biagio Facondine, 31, of 239 Bank street, evidence favored him and he was discharged.
 Fort was apparently the aggres- sor after having imbibed few drinks in a Union street establi ment. When Patrolman Richard Mccarthy arrived on the scene Fort was weakening under the bombardment of Facondine' E punches. Desiring to be neutral in this gentlemen's affairs of honor, Officer Mccarthy arrested both. Fort was fined. but Facondine was discharged.
