 Troublesome to Pump Lines l

Weights and Measures Harold C.. Smith of Milford. Between these two men it is believed that there is little chances of any pumps be- ing "off." Napoleon Fournier, state sealer, is also busy in the field help ing the local and county officials.
 Sealer Dunleavy has completed very busy season inspecting. checking, and weighing coal. fuel oil, and range oil. The inspection of pumps is an annual event, carried out each spring when the frost is 'eaving the ground. As the frost
 caves the ground it causes some
 rouble with the pump lines and connections and in many cases the lines have to- be dug up and re- placed.
 During the spring and summer the gasoline pumps are inspected several times as there are over 400 pumps used for gasoline and nearly twice that number of oil pumps, plus several hundred liquid mea- sures. It keeps the department busy, each test of a pump averag- ing about 20 gallons of fluid.
 Sealer DunIeaVy at all times ad- vises station owners of the results of tests and also cautions them to test their pumps and prime them each morning. As the gas naturally seeps back during the time that the pumps are not in use at night, 1t is necessary for inspectors to shut down pumps until repair men from the service departments of the con- cern put them into condition.
 MT Dunleavy's department cheeks the pumps when they are recon ditioned. The state sealer. MT Fournier, inspects the pumps once a month, or oftener, and keeps MT Dunleavy informed of his activi- ties in the Waterbury district. MT Dunleavy this morning praised the cooperation given him by the state and said it was of the utmost of ho1n

the company and that any rules which had teen in existence were merely one or two-year proposi- tions. There has never been such a thing as a seniority rule for ztartcrs, inspectors. dispatchers, timekeepers and foremen, the de- fendants charged. The plaintiffs all come in the classes mentioned.
 According to Judge Peasley's finding, rule No 50, the chief rule of the company disputed in the ac- ton, is fair to all because it works advantages and disadvantages to all classes of employees. The rule sets forth that when an employe is elevated to position of com mand his seniority rating does not go any higher, so that men with less time served may pass him on the seniority lists. Thus, in time of stress, if the size of the com pany's force is reduced. these pro- noted men might be dropped while another man, not in the service so long. remains employed. The rule works against the new man, also, the judge declared.

Any Of the Fall silks which have

fashions for day clothes-they must
be either tailored or sportsy Their
silhouette follows the natural figure.
Waistlines are normal, hips are fiat,
and skirts are made very straight
with just enough fullnesS secluded
somewhere in the seams to allow for
comfortable expansion. In those cases
where this material-in-reserve is not
provided, SlaShes (two or more) occur
at the bottom, for most of the skirts
are very narrow. The new length is
10 inches from the floor, which is
slightly shorter than our skirts of last
year.
This daytime dress is particularly
recommended for immediate wear. 1t
is an excellent example of the trend
toward simple digniied styles, the
general effect of which suggests adroit
cutting, and sophisticated sense of
design. 1t has an interesting neck
treatment. The line itself is left un-
decorated-the attention centering on
the plated jabot, which is carried out
in an original arrangement of shapely
lines. InSets in the sideseams Of the

pleated motif in the design.

trimming it is glamorouSly lovely. To
find either, or both, will not be task
this season, for the stores are buzzing
with excitement over the gorgeousness
of the textile situation at the present
moment. The vest in this particular
model Is cut along the becoming lines
Of the Surplice. The back repeats the
treatment in similar but more re-
strained way. The skirt is made with
q pointed yoke-back and front. 1t is
the type of skirt that is universally
slenderizing, and one that can be run
up quickly without any to-do about
fitting problems. Canton crepe with
metallic contrast is one attractive way
of interpreting this pattern; another
is satinback crepe with the dull side
used for the dress and the satin for
the vest arrangement.

AS with every other fur silhouette,
this Winter, the swagger makes
point of simple sleeves and deeper
armholes. Some sleeves are straight
with tiny turn-back cuffs, some are
very wide, as in the mandarin coat
which is noticeably prominent. Still
others introduce width at the elbow,

CoSsack hat, a f1attering type which
is at its best in Persian lamb, the
patterned broadtail, and in vel

costume.
THE beautiful fiat, supple furs, such
as broadtail, caracul or Persian
lamb, the velvety pelts of Alaska seal
skin, Hudson seal, nutria, beaver or
mole, as we'll as the luxurious mink
and sable are displayed at their best
in the full-length fitted or straight
wrappy silhouettes that have charac-
terized the formal town coat for
seasons. Here fine, perfectly matched
skins are at a premium, and dress
maker details have their fullest sway.
Glorified sailor collars of sable-the
back cut in the typically square line,
the front rippling into f1attering revers
are something new on Sumptuous
coats of black Russian caracul. Huge
silver fox collars that curl horseshoe
fashion about the shoulders or shape
into wide reverS when the coat is
worn open are regal accompaniment
to dark gray caracul or broadtail.
Dressmaker themes show an in
creasing development, with fiat pleats
released low at each side in back,
dipping hemlines and wide interesting
belts. One of the highlights of an
important fur showing was coat
of black Russian caracul with remov-
able peplum and belt. When both
are in place, the coat looks exactly
like a suit. With the belt alone, q
smart nippedin coat is the result,
