 On the Isle of Skye, it is said that if man dies and his fam fly does not wash his clothes, the ghost of a woman will ap- pear and do it for him. That would be a washday even cas- fer than those in our rightly equipped homes, but there is no record of any "Skye-ites" ever putting the superstition to the test.

Once again she shifted gears, put this time sat forward in her drivers seat, tense. Faster and faster. she found herself flying toward Langhorn road, She could not hear cOnversa- tiOn in the rear of the car. but did hear low laughter. What d sudden and strange camaraderie for staid Aunt Victoria! As there was no call for her to stop, Shirley thought her passenger was going past Gardner's. She stopped the car, almost wilted with the rush.
 Were late already, Shirley" said Aunt Victoria as she emerged from the car on the Terrence boys arm. Perhaps it will save embarrassment later if I introduce you to Ted Far son right here. Shirley Van Dorn is her right name"
 Bewildered. Shirley stared from one to another, and then surveyed their smiles with one of her own.
 "Oh. I recognized her." countered the smiling, brown-eyed traveller of in- telligence. And once again, a stall wart arm encircled her shoulder and she knew she would be saved from the danger of misalliance.

Bad Condition
 In Waterville
 To Be Removed
Repairing of Thomaston Avenue By Highway Depart ment Assures Better Driving Conditions at Homer Street intersection = Drains There Now Unable to Carry Off Water in Severe Storms.

The announcement yesterday that the City will start work tmme- diately on the construction of a sewer on Thomaston avenue and that it would be followed by the paving of the road by the state highway department, is considered doubly important by residents of not only Waterville. but by others who are required to use that stretch.
 For it was stated today that when the state high way depart ment undertakes the project it will also eradicate a condition at Hom- CT street and Thomaston avenue that long has been the bane of travellers through the intersection:
 The corner perpetually becomes a fair sized lake every time there is a rain storm of any great pro- portion and the water gathered there rises to 8 depth of several feet. This flinders travel and re- quires drivers of automobiles to take a roundabout route in order to get by the point.
 Mayor Frank Hayes has long agitated for a correction of the condition, even going so far as to notify Connecticut Co. officials that the tracks would have to be re- moved to make the necessary re- pairs.
 Now that the state has agreed to pave the stretch from West Main

Young musician had indigestion, gas fin stomach, cramps and sour- ness. Bowels were constipnted. nerves kept him from sleeping. Says new medicine VendoI acted quickly.
 Many folks in this city have found that Vendol, the new plant and herb tonic now being especial ly introduced here by the Vendol Man at the Waterbury Drug Co. is just the right medicine to regulate the bowels, purify the blood, strengthen the kidneys and relieve the stomach of gas and sourness. MT John Valerie of AS Tarbell avenue, Oakville, Waterbury, one of the best known of the younger musicians in the city says, T was beginning to feel rundown and tired out so knew I ought to do something about it but didn't know what till a friend advised me to try Vendol saying it had done him lot of good, so got some Vendol and it surely has made me feel better.
 'I was feeling wretched when began taking it two weeks ago. My stomach would fill up with gas and a sour, buring liquid would belch up into my throat. My stomach seemed to churn around and grip something awful at times. My head would ache and I seldom got a good nights sleep. was con- stipated every day unless l took some kind of medicine.
 Ut was really a surprise the way Vendol acted so quickly. It soon had my bowels moving easy and regular, the headaches passed off, my sleep became sound and restful and my appetite picked up.

street to the Chase barracks. the condition will be changed. It re- quires the installation of a larger pipe to carry off the excess water that flows into the storm water drains.
 This part of the job will be completed by the state. The open ings at the intersection are large enough. but the pipes carrying off the water were not capacious enough to hold the water. and as a result, the water naturally swelled around the openings to flow all over the intersection mak- ing a miniature lake.
 ]. The city will start the excavation for the sewer that will run along Thomaston avenue a week from Monday. The trolley company will tear up it's double set of tracks from Homer street and when the paving job is completed, single set will be laid. Busses are ex- pected to be brought into use for convenience of commuters while the paving job is in progress.

HOUSEWIVES TO
 BE INSTRUCTED | ABOUT PRICES
Govt to Issue a Report
 Soon to Show Whether
 She is Being Cheated in Buying
BY FREDERICK c. OTHNfAN fCODyriCht 1888. By United PreSS)

 Washington. Aug 24-(UP)- Figures were prepared by the ad- ministration today to tell house. wives whether they are being cheated by Blue Eagle profiteers.
 Officials were worried over a rapid rise in retail commodity prices. They intended to issue within the next few days reports showing definitely how much retail costs have advanced from the lows of last winter.
 The figures will give comparative prices of 50 articles ranging from hairpins to handkerchiefs. The prices will be averaged from 50 cities, representing the entire na- ton.
 Also available will be informa- tion making it possible to com- pute with reasonable accuracy how much the increased costs may be laid to processing taxes, how much to increased labor costs. and how much to greed on the part of the manufacturers, Wholesalers and retailers.
 The United Press obtained a for mula, designed to tell the house. wife to the last penny how much the cotton processing tax has cost her, whether she buys shirts, or socks or sheets. She needs merely to weight on her kitchen scales whatever cotton goods she buys. Multiplying the number of pounds by five gives her the cost in cents of the tax.
 Suppose she buys four white shirts for her husband. They weigh three and one half pounds. Multiplying by five she obtains the figure, seventeen and one half. President Roosevelt's agricultural recovery program therefore has cost her 17 1-2 cents for that one purchase.
 The shirt buyer then must allow several cents more for labor costs, higher wages and shorter hours in the cotton mills. Officials of the national recovery administration and the agricultural adjustment administration have been unable to arrive ata exact figure to show these higher labor costs, They suggest that the housewife make generous estimate, allowing even an extra five cents per pound of shirt.
 Also she must take into consider ation the increased cost of cotton. Last winter the cotton used in an average shirt cost six cents. Now 1t costs nine and one half cents. The thrifty shopper is urged by ad- ministration leaders consequently to add up the five cents for tax, the five cents for labor and the four and one half cents for mate rial, totaling IA 1-2 cents.
 If the three shirts cost much more than 43 1-2 cents above what they would have cost last winter, the buyer can be reasonably sure that someone, somewhere is cheating her.
