Warning that certain new kinds of gasoline in addition to those sold under the trade name Ethyl Gasoline now contain tetraethyl lead and are dangerous to health if used for other purposes than the operation of motor vehicles was sounded by the State Department of Health in it's weekly bulletin to- day. Gasolincs other than those labeled Ethyl" which now do con- tain tetfaethyl lead have but re- gently come on the market but as is the case with "Ethyp' the State Sanitary Code requires that they be colored with dye, so that they can be easily distinguished.
 Although the State Department of Health advises against the use of gasoline or similar fluids for dry cleaning or other purposes in the home, 1t says in the bulletin, If you must do dry cleaning at home there are better substances than motor gasoline for this purpose which at least have not the ter rible fire hazard of gasoline. If you use gasoline in your cooking stove. get the proper material for this purpose from your dealer. Under no circumstances should you use gasoline containing tetraethyl lead for these purposes as there is grave danger of poisoning in so doing"

Mutual Aid Fund
 Balance Mounts
Due to Fact That Fewer Men Are on Unem-
 plOyed Lists

waterbury's Mutual Aid fund now has a balance on hand of s22. 1908, a further increase over that of last week, which was $21,- 36s. The increase in the balance on hand has been apparent for several weeks past due to the fact that the expenses of the fund are dropping as more and more men go back to steady employment. There were 42 less persons on the payroll during the past week than for the week previous. There are now 1.495 on the relief list. During the winter months the total ran as high as 2.300.
 Receipts during the past week amounted to $6,876 and the ex- penditures were $5,941. Since the Mutual Aid fund was started ai- most a million and a half dollars have been contributel to the relief of the local unemployed by those fortunate enough to be working.

HOW YOU CAN HELP PUT OVER
 INDUSTRIAL RECOVERY
Johnson Writing The Waterbury Democrat Urges Every Citizen
 To Put His Shoulder To The Wheel The National Push For Prosperity

dustrial self-government in the l past has come from the labor side. Maybe the most comprehensive planning now is coming from inc dustrialists.
 It makes no difference and most certainly the whole thing Is a chal- lenge to the thinking of both sides and all of us. Very soon the les- sons of hard practice of the Recov- cry Act will be all-important, they'll be the law, whoever were
 the prophets.
 First text of Bulletin No is
 this: Business is to split up the work there is so as to put more men back on the pay rolls and raise wages for the shorter. work shift so that no worker gets less than a descent living wage. In- crease of consumption power has the right Of way. Runaway prices would eat up consumption power while 1t is a-borning; we will not tolerate them. Nor will
 beiow-cost selling do any good.
 SMALL profit never made poor merchant, is an old adage, which
 we must modernize to fit our pres. ent problem by saying that get- rich quick prices. with production on the loose, and neither with any relation to wages, together make the misery we see all around. Sound prosperity is in watching over distribution of income, to see
 that each worker gets back a suf-
 ficient share of what he himself produced to enable him to buy Q | ~ H<rn af. 4R t.t x1nnAgGftYAG
 produced by the rest of the work CTS.
 Simple, yet it is a stiff job, to | work out these aims in terms or pay roll figures and price levels in
 each industry in each town. To make start, and to put some
 sort of bottom under the whole ef- | fort, I have made as Q general
 suggestion, without commitment,
 and especially to help the widely
 scattered smaller businesses in their thinking, the average figure of 32
 hours for the work week at not
 less than 45 cents an hour for the
 lowest paid class of workers, as a general basis to start the recovery effort. That's thrown out 8 ssome- thing concrete for our new indus
 trial self-government to chew on,
 as an appetizer.
 IT CAN be translated into fact
 in every community, step by step,
 as fast as local leaders go to It with confidence, public spirit and | guts. This whole recovery admin
 istration is a challenge to the self
 governing capacity of management
 and labor everywhere.

Some Gasoline
 Hazardous For
 Household Use
Poisonous If Utilized Other Than in Motor Vehicles,
 State Dept of Health Warns

Tn addition to the fact that gas olines containing tetraethyl lead can be quickly distinguished by the coloring matter required by the Statee Code, each pump at which they are sold is required to bear a sign, "Ethyl Gasoline containing tetraethyl lead, to be used as motor fuel only, and not for cleaning pur- poses" Gasoline taken from this pump should not be siphoned from the auto tank for home use.
 Dealers handling tetraethyl gas olines are also required to have on hand for distribution to such GUS toners as may desire them leaf lets approved by the State Depart ment of Health, which describe the possible dangers and precautions to be taken in using the gasoline.

this new democratic industrial self f-government-and 1t will take a more deeply informed public opinion to make a go of it.
 It is terrifically complicated, and moreover 1t will change, as each industry codifies its ideas. It is not enough that each industry and each man should watch his step, lest "the government should get him." but it is time for men in each com munity to contribute something

2 Administering the most dras- tic and far-reaching plan of con troI for industry and labor in America's history, Gen. Hugh s. Johnson here has written for NEA Service and the Democrat, a straight from the shoulder challenge to every man and wo- man to lend a hand in speeding business recovery.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1933-07-18
BY GEN. HUGH JOHNSON Wrltetn for NEA Service

WFttGfn Tor N EA 0ckNbCB
 Washington, D. C.-The national recovery administration is to op- crate publicly, as far as that Is humanly practicable. That means aomethinR to the man in the street of cities far. from Washington. It means a duty, a part in this ad- nlinistration, that Is up to him, and that seems to me worth explaining.
 Here we are holding hearings on the first of the codes to be sub mitted, which are to become body of industrial law for the different industries. It's all being done in a gold fish bowl. Not because we are fond of being gazed at, but so that the action and method of code making and administration can be seen from far off.
 We want 1t seen so plainly that everybody everywhere can under stand and by studying can pick out his home town part in recov- cry. There's no time to write each person a letter about it. But neither is it a time to jump in. head first.~
 Use your head first - we ask every citizen study sharply the broad aims and objectives of this recovery law, then the codes and rulings as they develop in regard to your own business, and then you will be picking out exactly the wheel to put your shoulder to, Tor the national push. Study first what I call the bible, issued as Bulletin No and Bulletin No by the ad- ministration.
 PASTE. the bible in your hat. Keep the bulletins on your desk. They're no ballyhoo; they are the beginnings of law and practice In 2 lew business regime.
 They mark turn in the tide or American industry that may prove IS vital as was the onset of the industrial revolution abroad a hun fred years ago or the start of the ompanies of Merchant Venturers the 17th century.
 We cannot be sure of success, ex- .ept. through national cooperation. ertainly see no doing 1t by czar- ;r1l.
 Industrial self-government Is the underlying idea of the president md of the Recovery Act. We are not trying to goose-step the coun- try. There are teeth in the act, II certain situations arise, it's pro- visions are mandatory ana sHaH not hesitate to execute the law as written. But the first line of re- lance for enforcement is on public opinion.
 For me that reliance Is based on recollection of concrete personal experience. I had the task, after drafting the selective service law. of administering 1t in 1917-1S. "You'ye put yourself in a,- line hole,' I was warned, there never was in history a draft enforced without bayonets.' We'll, we made history without bayonets. Public opinion did 1t. policing every community with knowledge gained from studying the law and seeing that it was car ried out, fairly, at home.
 This is vastly bigger thing
