teach the girls how to buy intell1-
gently? The question was pro-
pounded to me not long since by the
head of a large department store.

he said, Ito regard the average
bride who comes to us as a baby.
We employ experts, whom we pay
well. to help them select the right
things. Naturally we want to make
something more than sale; we want
to make permanent customers OF
them and we could never do that
merely by selling them a large bill
of the wrong kind of goods.
"a tremendous number of young
wives are totally unable to select
their household supplies with any
Judgment. They know nothing
whatever about textiles, kitchen
ware, refrigeration or about the
kinds of furnishing that should go
into the types of homes they are to
occupy. In fact, when I sink, into
pessimistic mood I am often con-
virced they know nothing about
anything"
The less said about the education
of our girls for practical life, the
better perhaps. 1t should be a sore
point with us, if it isn't because
we've certainly bungled the job.
I'm not so sure whether the in
terror decorators will agree, but a
course in buying would not be an
altogether useless item in our edu-
cational schedules. I think, how
ever, that the smattering of such
training one gets in high school or
college on domestic subjects IS en-
tirely inadequate.
What we need is a School for
Engaged Girls" And why wouldn't

it be a good idea to hold up the
marriage license until our affianced
young ladies had completed their
compulsory six months course in
buying, cooking, cleaning and house
hold management?
Even if a woman is rich enough
to afford servants she should know
enough to give them instructions.
No employer assumes his hired help
should understand more about his
business than he does himself, and
why a housekeeper should do so. is
beyond me. Moreover, every senS1-
BILE parent expects the young man to
prove he can make a living before
he marries the girl. Why should we
not demand the same thing of the
girl? Let her prove she can make a
home.

EdwardF. Bowling To
 Be Buried Tomorrow
Solemn High Mass for McEllgOtt Co Credit Manager
 to Be Celebrated at St Thomas Church

Edward F. Bowling, Jr, 46, as- sociated for many years with the John McElligott company, died suddenly Saturday noon at his resi- dence, 235 Cooke street. In ap- parent good health, MT Bowling performed his duties as credit man. ager of the shoe, coal and oil com- panies Saturday morning. On ar irving home for lunch he com plained of being i'll and collapsed suddenly and died before medical aid could be summoned. Dr Vim cent Shea, who accompanied St Mary's hospital ambulance on the emergency call pronounced him dead after a brief examination. Medical Examiner Dr Edward II. Kirschbaum gave coronary arteritls as the specific cause of death.
 MT Bowling, a native of Pltts- field. Mass. was a member of family prominently known in the north end section of the city Tor years. It was one of the first to establish his residence there when St Thomas parish was organized Tn 1898. The deceased's father. Ed ward Bowling. Sr. has been identi- fled with the democratic party for nearly two score of years and has always been regarded as one uf the most enthusiastic party work CTS in the second ward.

Sharp Shooters Of he .G. o. ?. Are m Trouble
They Are Smashing at Roosevelt Program Continually But They Are in Mess for Ignoring Old
 Hoover Chairman of Party

publican national committee, IS suffering from q form of political boycott. Senators and representa- tives responsible for getting them- selves or their colleagues reelect- ed this year have formed their own campaign organization. Sanders was left out with the questionable assurance that nothing personal was intended"
 Decision to ignore Sanders and remnants of Hoover leadership in the congressional campaign was reached after the national commit tee let go broadside or two against CWA and similar adminis- tration projects. Some of these rather more popular than unpopu- lar in the constituencies. Sanders criticism did not read well at home of those who challenge his leader Sanders represents.
 One month in advance of the first priamry of this campaign year it is save to predict that the Roose- welt reciprocal tariff plan, the MIRA wages-hours program and the air mail will be under hottest fire as the Hastings begin to echo with impassioned political oratory. Air mail is in the political picture to remain for the duration of the campaign. Administration realza- tion of the popular resentment reused by repeated fatal air mail accidents may have been no minor factor in the decision to curtail military carriage of the mails.
 On NRA and the reciprocal 5ariff there is general republican agree ment that Mir Roosevelt has hand ed the party two desirable and valuable issues. Big business re- sented the Rooseveltian summons to reduce hours and increase wages. But republicans see the biggest potential bloc of votes in opposition to reciprocal tariffs. To take an example: If the president gets authority to negotiate such agreements. republican orators will scatter through the timber regions of the Washington, Oregon, northern California and elsewhere-with unqualified state mentS that MT Roosevelt intends to cut the lumber tariff.

New Haven. Conn, March 12.-- iUP)-A short circuit at d power station threw the city and sur rounding towns into darkness for nearly an hour last night and caused general suspension of business until repairs could Dc made.
 Thousands poured from thoaters and resta urants and filled central streets. Automobile headlights furnished the only illumination and at hospitals where two babies were born at the height of the con- fusion.
 At the county jail 227 prisoners rioted and set fire to mattress They had not been locked in theiI cells for the night and it was with difficulty guards prevented serious disorder.
 The Telephone company doubled its force of operators to handle the rush of business as inquiries w-er" made as to the cause of the break down of service.

It was learned today by the Democrat that the recent postal economy order from Washington, now being assailed by postal work CTS and substitutes all over the country, means a curtailment of local mail service, especially in purely residential sections. Post master James T. Kelley said this morning that 15 routes in the city will now have but one delivery day instead of the two that they have been receiving.
 Deliveries in sections devoted en- tirely to business will continue to be made three times day, while mixed business and residentlal areas will be given twice-a-day service.
 The acting postmaster said that there will still be some work TOT substitute clerks and that they were not told, as reported that they would be given no work whatsoever until at least July l.

Fifteen Routes Are
 Affected By Postal Order From Capital
Will Have Only One Daily Delivery-Business Areas Not to Suffef-Al Postal Workers PrOtest-
 Substitutes to Get Some Work

Carriers working on the routes under curtailment will devote the rest of their working time to cler- ical duties. After completing their one delivery a day, the postmen will be used in filing and sorting mail, parcel post work, and in other office capacities. The new schedule will necessitate doubling up on a number of jobs, since spe- cial substitute help can be used only in times of emergency.
 While the city's curtailed sery- ice gets underway, postal employees and substitutes following the lead of national and state organizations, are preparing to continue their protests to Washington. The clerks organization, the carriers associa- tion and the substitutes have al- ready entered protests with Con- necticut congressman and with Postmaster-Gen Farley against the portions of the economy order which affect each of them.
 The substitutes, it is reported, plan to ask businessmen and tax payers to write to the states con- gressmen to enlist their help in at tempting to have the order re- scinded. That procedure is being followed in Bridgeport and in a number of other cities. The em- ployment of substitutes will be made almost negligible till July 1 by the Washington order.
 Clerks and carriers are planning further protests after their wires forwarded to Washington Satur- day. The state association of clerks, through State President Edgar V. Dwyer of this city, en- tered a protest, as did the local clerks branch, through President George Perigard. The carriers likewise will continue their appeal
 The main protest of the regular employees against the order is that it forces each of them from the postmaster down to the laborers, to take a four day furlough with out pay before July 1.
