Mayor Approves Observance of Fire Prevention Weel
ENDORSING NOTES
 ERISKY BUSINESS
Henry Johnson Sued as
 EndOrser on Note for Sz,500

With the reported settlement of the civil action of Helen Johnson of Chicago, against Henry John son of Waterbury, came to light o-day an agreement that contains unusual stipulations and provi- sions. The action in the local court was based on the alleged non-pay- ment of a $2,500 note made pay- able to Helen Johnson by Attorney Eli Johnson of New York, her husband, and endorsed by Mir Johnson of this city.
 Under the terms of the agree ment, Eli Johnson was to give this $2,5O0 to his wife as an alimony payment. By her acceptance of the sum, she would not seek addi- tional alimony or counsel fees at the time of her divorce. In addi- ton, he was to turn back dia- mond brooch worth between $6bO to $1,000 and 8 pawn ticket which for 500 would recover a diamond bracelet worth between $3,OOO and $5,000. In addition to the $2.b0O note and the valuables, he was to pay her $1,250 cash for counsel fees and expenses.
 She was to secure separation which is considered similar to an interlocutory divorce decree. They were married in 1927 and she se- cured her separation in 1928. It was alleged in the complaint that Mrs Johnson, who was then an actress, had lived up to her part of the agreement but that the note was not paid. Suit was brought agains. Henry Johnson, who is q brother of Eli, because he endorsed the note,

Miss 6aynor is young, impish colleen, who adds strong dash of rogiushncss to her famous wist. fulness and thereby creates Q new kind of character for herself.

prominent plumbing supply firm, and a recognized authority on boil CT explosions. In the conference also was James R. Walker, city plumbing inspector, who arranged Q meeting of the local plumbers, with Mir Stedt as the principal speaker. Every safety unit in the city was represented at the meet ing. Mir Stedt presented a collec- ton of illustrations and charts, sho wing the danger that turks In every house equipped with unpro- tected hot water boilers. He showed cross sections of pressure relief valves which have been de- signed to prevent undue pressure and to guard against the serious results that attend every boiler ex- plosion."
 The fire marshal had a word of warning to the garage owner and his employees. "Take the case re- gently of William Harding, em- ployed on an estate in Morris, next door to our own territory. He had been working around on automo- bile, and he divided his time be- tween doing this and attending to q bon.fire in the yard nearby, What happened? The man lost his life; his overalls contained gas- oiine, accidentally spilled while working around the machine. Just as he started to poke at the fire the overalls caught fire, and he was soon ablaze. He was literally burned to death on the spot. Just note the large number of garage men we sec these days wearing greasy and oil soaked garments. MT Hardlng's death should be warning sufficient for these men to keep away from bon-flres while wearing such outhts."
 The fire marshal called attention to the city's fire loss of last year, about three hundred thousand dol- lars. Tt never comes back" de- clared the marshal. "Insurance money never repays for the dam. age incurred by fire. We have seen instances of this almost from the time of the great fire ofl902. Waterbury merchants burned out at that time will vouch for the truth of this statement
 In conclusion, the marshal made an earnest appeal to tho people Of Waterbury to bo exceedingly care. fui during the progress of Fire Prevention week. Cellars should be cleaned and made safe against fire; safety valves should be pro- vided for all boiler installation and oil burner equipments; Arc ex. tinguishers should be re-charged' chimneys of houses should be cx' amlned and cleaned, and Q com. piete survey of the home should be made by the family head be- fore retiring for tho night.
 Display windows in the Hayes building on East Main street have been arranged by tho fire marshaPs office, showing views and causes or fire, and in addition several store windows on request arc decorating tho show windows with q suitable fire display.
 The electrical part of the pro. gram as arranged is being done un. der the supervision of the local Inspector, Martin o'Rourke.
 "Exercise ordinary care,' said tho governor in his procln nation, and Mayor Hayes message to the people of Waterbury fig to better the clty's fire record by having less fires.
