EDISON POOLING THEM ALL AGAIN
 AS HE LIVES ON
Aged Inventor Collapsed on Saturday and It Looked Like the End Was Near

West Orange, N. J., Aug. 4.- OP).-Thomas Alva Edison, re- covering at his Llewellyn Park home of diabetes, stomach ulcers and uremic poisoning, continued to improve to-day.
 The aged inventor, who col lapsed Saturday as he was about to take an automobile ride, spent more active day yesterday, sitting at his desk and reading ncwspa- pers. His physicians bulletins were more optimistic.
 Edison even felt sufficiently re- covered to ask for one of his GUS tomary black cigars. but this was refused him on orders of Dr. 1lu- bert S. Howe.
 Surrounded by five of his six chil- dren, the electrical wizard received hundreds of telegrams and mes sages from friends and admirers. Henry Ford and Harvey FirestOne, telephoned to learn his condition. Sir Thomas Lipton, British sports man, cabled his wishes for speedy recovery.
 Edison, interested as scientist in the chemical features of his ill., ness, has asked his physicians many questions. Because of his deafness, it was necessary for the doctors 10 write down the anwers.
 At one time, looking for pencil with which to do some writing him self. Edison found them all in use. My information is going up in direct proportion to the square Of the pencils" he remarked.

New England States Fight Paralysis
Health Commissioners Meet at Boston-ResOmces of ss' Harvard Commission Made Available

Meeting to consider jointly the question of the possible increase in infantile paralysis in New Eng land, the health commissioners of the six New England states and members of the Harvard infantile paralysis commission, after a ses- sion at New England council head quarters in Boston to-day, issued a statement of suggestions to the public which points out that the disease ''is most prevalent during August, September and October" :" The state health commissioners constitute the public health com- mittee of the New England coun- cil. the chairman of which is Red field Proctor of Vermont, former president of the council.
 The conference announced that arrangements had been completed for making available throughout New England the resources of tn" Harvard infantile paralysis com mission. The conference was
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-08-04

, called following an increase in the number of cases of the disease in nearby states.
 The statement issued by the state health officials and the Harvard group follows in full text: q. Infantile paralysis is most prevalent during August, Septem- Der and october. There Is an in- creased prevalence of the disease already experienced in adjacent states and this increase has been felt in localized areas in Connecti- cut and Massachusetts. To date the Worcester, Northern Essex, and the Cape areas of Massachusetts az well as northern, eastern, and western Connecticut have been not ably free. Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont and Rhode Island have not yet shown evidence of any ab- normal number of cases for this time of the year.
 "2. At conference of state health officers and officers of the Harvard infantile paralysis com mission held in the offices of the New England council to-day plans were completed for making avail able wherever needed in New Eng land the diagnostic, therapeutic, and after-care resources of the Harvard infantile paralysis com mission. Parents should realize that early medical care is impor- tant. Perhaps the most suggestive early sign warranting attention is stiffness of the spine and neck in a sick child, best shown when the child Is asked to sit up in bed and bend the head forward be- tween the knees.
 8. InfantiIe paralysis Is spread by personal contact with patients or healthy persons carrying the infection. Children's contacts therefore should be restricted to the usual groups of associates Camps and children's institutions are advised to discourage visiting by outsiders.
 "4 Children now in camps un- der controlled conditions and ob- servation had better stay there rather than increase their contacts by leaving. Health authorities of the several states are prepared to cooperate with and assist all camp directors
 Those present at the conference were:
 Maine, Dr Clarence r. Kendall, health commissioner. New Hampshire, pr Charles Duncan, secretary, state board of health.
 Vermont, Dr Charles F. Dalton, secretary, state board of health. Connecticut, Dr Willard knowl- ton, director, bureau of preventable diseases.
 Rhode Island, pr Lester A. Round, director of health; Dr An son $. Ingels, epidemologist. Massachusetts, Dr George H. Bigelow, health commissioner; Dr w.

The administration has virtually abandoned hope of bringing bitu- minous coal operators and miners together in an effort to find means of relieving distress in the coal fields.
 Railroad unions have been re- buffed in an attempt to arrange a conference with transportation heads on the subject of aiding em- ployment by a six hour day and five-day week.
 Replies have been received from 95 of the 125 bituminous coal op- orators to whom inquiries were ad- dressed by the departments of commerce and labor. Less than half were in any way agreeable to the conference idea.
 It seemed to-day that the pro- posal would be dropped unless an should cause President Hoover to bring real pressure upon the operators. There is now no in- dication such pressure will be brought to bear.

Library Lacks
 Engineering Books Excellent Collection on
 NonferreOus Metals But
 Poor on Other Subjects

Julian A. Schon. chief biblio- grapher of the Engineering So- cieties library of New York, who has just completed survey of the technical library facilities through out New England, declares in his report that the Silas Bronson library of this city has Ian excel lent collection of books on non- ferrous metals, but is very poor on other subjects" Twenty-Five cities were visited by MT Schon in mak- ing his survey. These cities includ- ed Waterbury, Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford in Connecti- cut.
 As a result of the excellent col lection on hand in the local library on non-ferrous metals, those en- gagged in the brass industry find the library very good, MT Schon declares. However, other engi- neers find it useless due to the poor collection on other subjects.

Baby With Poor Appetite.

The appetiteless child is q common
phenomenon in hot weather, for every
other letter mentions how reluctantly
children eat their regular portions.
Adults should be intuitive enough to
know by their own feelings that it is
difacult to enjoy food when the tenn
perature is high. Take this into con-
sideration. A worried mother writes
me about a baby with a chronicaly
poor appetite.
my baby Is 7 months old and
weights 171a pounds, having weighed 8
at birth. She has had very poor ap-
petite since birth. Three ounces of milk
fill her up, and tablespoons of cream
Of wheat once a day is all I can get
her to take. I prepare the same
formula every day. rs ounces Of milk,
10 of water and tablespoons of dextri-
maltese, but she wastes half of that.
"She is pleasant and happy, always
ready to play, never seems to be very
hungry, is very active, sits alone and
pulls herself up in her bed. have
had three other children. but never had
any of them refuse milk. I didn't
think there were such babies. am
afraid she won't grow strong"
Nine pounds in 2 months Is not the
average gain, but the baby is showing
as much strength as most babies of
her age, despite her poor appetite. 1t
IS not possible to tell you why she
never wants to eat, but certainly 1t IS
the height of folly to keep on prepar-
ing the same formula and letting her
waste half Of it. Why not leave out
the water, q little at time. and at
least give the child the benefit Of all
milk when she does accept it? Give
or 4 ounces of whole, boiled milk at
feeding and omit the water and
sugar. Boiling the milk makes 1t easy
to digest. Then give water between
| meals. Give one Tablespoon Of cereal

String beans and carrots au gratin
are very good. Use two cups carrots TO
one cup string beans, and combine as
for any au grattn dish.
Carrots are very valuable, indeed, in
the small child's diet. Teach your child
to look upon them as a treat-not as
something that must be eaten merely
because it is good for him. One clever
young mother that know has carried
this idea to the point that her active,
ever hungry little 4-year-old considers
a plain boiled carrot as great a treat as
apple. Her mother sometimes gives her
a carrot as an in-between meal snack
after the busy play times that little
folks have at the sand pile, on the
beach or in the park.
Here is a recipe that little people are
sure to like: To cup of medium white
sauce add cup of cooked mashed car
rots, and season to taste. Then add the
beaten yolks of two eggs. Whip the
whites of the eggs until they are stiff.
Fold into the carrot mixture and turn
into a buttered baking dish. Set the
dish in a pan Of hot water and bake
the soufHe in a moderate oven $3.50 de-
greeS to 400 degrees Fahrenheit) for 80
minutes. Serve at once in the dish in
which it Is baked.
Another delicious suggestion for chill
6ren is this one for a carrot dessert:
The next time you make lemon or
orange gelatin, add a cup and q half
of raw grated carrot. Serve as usual
with cream or a sauce.

or heels of the loaf may be dried in
the oven and rolled into crumbs Ends
of loaveS which have become stale may
be used for croustadeS, bread sticks,
croutons, the morning toast, 6tufdng
for the chicken or turkey and in count
less other ways.
Wouldn't it be foolish to throw away
any bread at all when such delicious
cakes as these may be made with the
crumbs?
Chocolate cakes-Three eggs, one
quarter cup butter, one-half cup sugar,
three squares chocolate, one cup stale
bread crumbs, three tablespoons -four.
Beat eggs until light. Cream butter
and sugar and add eggs. Add chocolate
which has been melted over hot water,
then bread crumbs and flour. Spread
mixture in q shallow buttered pan and
bake in a slow oven 1925 degrees F) for
10 minutes. Shape with a tiny biscuit
cutter and put together in pairs with
a boiled icing between and on top.
Croustades of bread-Cut stale bread
in 2-inch slices and cut in diamonds,
squares or circles. Remove centers,
not to break the sides. Fry in deep
fat or brush over with melted butter
and brown in the oven just to a golden
brown. Fill with creamed vegetables,
fish or meat and save yourself the
cost and trouble Of buying patty cases.
Later when we again discuss bread
shall give you other economy recipes
which will be so simple and tempting
that they will make the saving and
utilizing of every scrap of bread seem
infinitely worth while. My recommen-
dations, you will notice, do not suggest
curtailing the purchase of fresh bread
whenever you want it. do say, how
ever make the most Of all bread
bought by learning how to put it to new
and varied uses.

per-one part vinegar and two parts
oil, and rub the bowl with bit OF
garlic, if you like the flavor.
French dressing is popular in homes
and restaurants throughout the cou9~
try, and it is very good. 1t so happens
that at the Plaza we rarely use it, pre-
ferring instead a special dressing which
Is Of the consistency of coffee cream,
and which never breaks or separates.
My recipe for 1t Is as follows: One
tablespoon mayonnaise, one-fourth tea
spoon English mustard, one-fourth tea
spoon prepared mustard, one-fourth
teaspoon Worcestshire sauce, one-fourth
tablespoon strained chilli sauce, a pinch
of sugar, a sprinkle of paprika, salt and
pepper, dash of A sauce, a dash of
TabaSco sauce, a little onion juice and
dash of tarragon vinegar.
Beat all well and add slowly two cups
Of olive oil, beating all the while. Sea-
son to taste and serve cold. You may
keep this dressing as long as a week in
the ice box. 1t is suitable for all salads
where you would use French dressing.

part are not particularly attractive. The
houses are all OF SamenesS. The
Italian Is much more interested in OUT
side things and in social activities In
the town than he is in fixing up his
home.
In some respects social etiquette Is
more lax, and in others more strict
than in England. When o hostess in
yites friends for dinner and an evening
she isn't at all worried about the num-
Der of men and women being equal.
The ladies do not arise first from the
table: all rise together Immediately
after the meal and adjourn to the
drawing room where every one smokes.
At these parties the servants pass Gig
arettes with the refreshments to men
and women alike.
Life for the upper classes is not so
very different from that in any other
country, but there are few odd Gus
toms that are peculiar to Italy. It Is
not essential that men wear eve
ming dress at dinner, unless there
is a formal party. A black coat
is enough for ordinary purposes,
and some think 1t Very smart to wear
a fine smoking jacket with a black tie.
It is comparatively simple to be re-
ceived at court, and the royal family
is noted for its graciousness and hos
pitality. Usually it is only necessary
that one should know lady or gentle
man In waiting. write them asking for
the presentation, and more often than
not the request goes through. Court
dress is not so often worn; the uniforms
of officers of the army and navy and
cabinet ministers furnish sufficient bril-
lance for the casual affair or enter
tainment.

Dinner-party fish includes fried
