SERIES OF FINES SEND DISTURBER TO JAIL
TORESTORE HAIR
 ON BALD HEADS
Good News for Many Resi- dents of Waterbury and
 Other Places
CHEMIST KNOWN HERE

An article published in the Spokesman Review, a newspaper of Spokane, Washington, describes the success of an experiment con- ducted by a Jesuit priest to restore hair on bald heads. The priest Rev James Gilmore, S.J., has a number of relatives residing tn Waterbury and vicinity, according to Robert H. Gilmore, a brother, now residing in Seattle, Wash. The newspaper article, which has been reprinted in various parts Of the country is as follows:
 "The Rev James Gilmore. s. J., chemist at Gonzaga university, Spokane, Washington, has discov- cred a compound that is proving successful in restoring hair to bald heads.
 Father Gilmore's interest in hair growth started as the result of the annoyance a Seattle high school student who was nicknamed "Baldy" after he had lost his hair. When the student entered Con- zaga university, the nickname stuck and became more unbear- able.
 "Baldy" took his trouble to Father Gilmore. Father, you are a great chemist" he said. "You ought to be able to concoct something that will put hair on my head and kill this nickname they've hung on me-" Father Gilmore started his research work. First he made study of the human system from a chemical standpoint to discern how the blood stream feeds the hair roots. With this knowledge, he prepared a chemical mixture which would function in the same way, using vegetable oils instead of animal oils.
 He experimented with the com pound on a dog. Results were as- tonishing. Next he gave bottle to "Old Baldy". Since then the hairless wonder has had a half dozen haircuts, once month. Other bald persons asked for sam ples of the restorer. The news spread rapidly and demand for the compound became so frequent that Father Gilmore was compelled to seek someone to help manufacture the mixture to meet the demand.
 Patrick Hennessey, an unem- ployed deaf mute, was selected as the best person to mix the pro- duct without betraying its secret. This was done despite the fact that Father Gilmore was beseiged by business men of Washington who offered to buy the formula at any price. Having taken the vow of poverty, the priest-chemist re- fused these riches and is happy in the fact that he Is aiding others.

Democratic Candidate for Congressman -at-Large Addressed the Women Voters in Stratford- Gov Cross Hits COercing of Employees
(special to the Democrat)

stratford, october 26--Legisla- !, ton to eliminate sweatshop con- , ditions in Connecticut factories was favored by William M. Citron,
 democratic candidate for congress- man n-at-large, in speech delivered before group of democratic women voters at the Booth Home- stead here today.
 ! MT Citron said that he had long worked for the 48-hour work week for women and that he favored the adoption of stronger laws to pro- ttect women in industry.
 "Despite the frequent claims or our political opponents that factory ! conditions in Connecticut are ideaf he said, I've find that quite the reverse is true in some localities. Sweatshop conditions which would not be tolerated even in New York
 city have been allowed to flourish in many of our cities"
 "Inspectors working under a democrat, Labor Commissioner Jo-
 seph Tone, have rooted out many of these evils. They have discovered conditions to which Commissioner Tone's republican predecessor has . apparently been blind. The next { session of the general assembly will witness the Introduction, by democrats, of legislation to defin-

CHAMBER BACKING
$600,0|)D AID BILL
Executive Committee Urges
Passage for Relief of
D. C. Needy.

The Executive Committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce yes
terday indorsed the inclusion in the
1893 appropriation bill of an item of
100000 for unemployment relief in the
District. The item was omitted from
the supply bill by the House although
requested by the Commissioners and ap-
proved by the President.
Approved BY Hoover.
In announcing the committees ac-
tion, Harry King, president of the
chamber, issued the following state
ment:
"The Executive Committee of the
Washington Chamber of Commerce by
formal vote has ndorsed the inclusion
Of an item OF 100000 in the 1888 Dis
trict appropriation bill as requested by
the District Commissioners and as ap-
proved by President Hoover.
Faced with the prospect of derange
ment or breakdown of local measures
for the relief of suffering due to unem-
ployment, the Executive Committe feels
that no other step can be taken despite
the urgent need for economy and re-
trenchment wherever possible.
Economy at the expense of the hun
CRY and suffering is not to be thought
of in the National Capital and the EX-
ecutive Committee of the chamber

Why | Belong to the
Y. w. G.. A.
BY ELIZABETH HANEY.

ClasSed as business woman,
my interest and activity are CEN
tered on the Young Women's
Christian Association for num-
Der of reasons.
First, / seek the Young Won1-
ems Christian Association as a
councillor in advising me as to
good living accommodations. I
use the rooms registry depart
ment, which keeps an active file
of vacant rooms with their de-
scription and which have all been
personally investigated by COM
mittee from the association. That
service alone would make me
think favorably of the associa-
ton.
Second, a job and a place to
live are necessary in a business
woman's life. but added to these
must follow her friends, her rec
reation, her cultural and educa-
tional aspirations, and what an
important part the Young Wom-
ems Christian Association can
play in supplying these! The
business and professional women's
department, through its many
activities, provides the chance to
make friends.
Third, my interest lies in more
strenuous physical activity: the
facilities of we'll equipped gym
and pool to correct my own
idiosyncrasies are at my disposal.
Fourth, we are none of us too
old to learn, and the opportunity
to brush up on French, literature
or dramatics satisfies that long
ing to study something. The
general education department
has a long list of classes, with
excellent instructors.
Last. we are inclined to ridi-
cule the business man and his
many clubs, but he is stimulated
by his contacts in them, he comes
back to his desk refreshed after
an hour in the pool or the gym,
or an hour spent at the lunch
con table. The business woman
needs this same impetus to tide
her through the working day,
and for club which can supply
all one can need, or want, may I
recommend the Young Women'S
Christian ASSociation-with that
almost negligible membership fee
of ST., but which carries with 1t
such a wealth of privileges?
