ClariSsa was one of the modern

band was an understanding soul who
helped set table, was not averse to
carrying a parcel or two home and
best of all was appreciative of the
double job his wife was carrying
She tried to plan meals for a week
in advance, always allowing for
emergencies such as an unexpected
guest or a dinner down town.
Pad and pencil were handy in the
kitchen. She trained herself to list
needed foods as soon as she emptied
a container or took down the last can
of it's kind. Armed with this list
when she gave her weekly order she
was less apt to forget that the match
es were all gone or that the sugar
sack had been emptied. On her day
home she usually cooked roast and
at least two vegetables. She washed
enough lettuce for three days salads
and put it back in the vegetable pan
in her mechanical refrigerator.
She seldom baked cake, cookies or
pastry, feeling that 1t was better to
buy these as needed than 1t was to
crowd their making into a day already
too full
One evening she had just reached
hcme, having stopped to get some
fresh vegetables when telephone call
from her husband told her he was
bringing a gueA home in just about
half an hour.

HARRY B. DOW OF
STATE MOTOR CLUB
Calls Attention to Need of
Watching Brakes With
Advent of Spring
TIMELY WARNING

With the advent of spring and
its attendant increase in motor
vehicular traffic, this advice is be-
ing passed on to the motoring pub
lie of Connecticut by Harry B. Dow
of this city, an official of the Con-
necticut Motor club.
There is no piece of equipment
on your car that is more import
ant than your brakes" Mr. Dow
advises. Data compiled by the
state motor vehicle department
that about ITO of the 1900 ac-
cidents in Connecticut last year
were due directly to the failure OF
brakes to work when they were
needed. Six of these accidents were
fatal. All of them could have been
prevented If the owners of the ma
chimes had paid a little more at
tention to the conditions of their
brakes"
The Connecticut Motor club in
all probability will open its traffic
lanes for the general inspection Of
machines again in the near future.
but Connecticut motorists should
not wait until this time to nave
their grakes inspected.
amy garage man will be glad to
inspect your brakes" Mr. Dow adj
vises. at requires only a small
amount of your time well invested
if you can be sure that your brakes
work when you need them most
