New Britain proceeds with it's plans for
 ending stream pollution by considering sewage plants. A recent survey of the situation brought forth a prepared report that an activated sludge type of plant was most adaptable to the city's needs. This is a project involving hundreds of thou sands of dollars, as do all similar ones, but one we'll worth the money invested. The sole return is in better sanitation, better living conditions, better water courses in our state We don't know If New Britain offends in any respect by polluting natural water courses as do Waterbury and other communities in the Naugatuck valley, but certainly the city is right in line with the progress that is now being made in this state along the lines of pollution elimination.

Iceland, the last citadel of prohibition, has turned an icy shoulder on this scheme of things by repeating it's prohibition law, in effect since 1912 Sale of liquor Ill Iceland will be permitted after February 1. However, the country isn't going to tolerate intoxication among it's duly elected or appointed officials. Any gov- ernment officers found intoxicated on duty will be subject to the severest of penalties. It looks as if prohibition was being crowded out of existence. It should be. Temperance is what we need.

There will be unsuitable lifeboats on the huge new British liner, the Queen Mary. That's fine. We're glad to see that ocean travel is being made fool-proof. Now all that remains to be done is to make the passengers who go on these modern vessels sink-proof When that state of perfection is reached, there will be abso- lutely no danger in crossing the seas in any weather and as result nobody will want to go sailing.

Fen1ininiY Here Seen in Picturesque Form
Little Summer Frock Shows
Rumes at Sleeves and
Around the Neck.
BY BARBARA BELL.

TN THIS becoming little Summer
frock femininity Is picturesquely
expressed in terms of rufiles at
i the sleeves and around the neck.
Aside from the charm of this
feature. the dress adheres to the usual
simple lines that dramatic the beauty
of the new cotton fabrics and present
an appearance of freshness rather
than the very complicated effects that
are better left for the cool weather
modes.
This dress is made in figured dim
ity-that quaint cotton that is so be-
loved by all women because of its
particular blend of charm and in
tegrity. Not only does it wash with
amazing ease-it irons beautifully. If
you choose 1t in one Of the dark Sum-
mer colors all you have to do Is to
press systematically, for dimity Is Just
one material that spurns dirt; it has
q hard surface which makes 1t prac-
tically soilproof. This refers, of
course, to the sturdier colors. White
or pale tones, naturally, take on a
grimy appearance after many wear
ings, SO must be tubbed occasionally
and pressed in between acts.
One of the significant fashion points
in this dress is the application of ruff
fles to q boa-shaped neckline. The
away-from -the-throat feature gives
this seasons top trimming without
sacrificing GOODNESS in any way. The
winglike sleeve ruffies are also q note
worthy detail that makes for q smart
appearance on q warm day.
Other materials available for this
frock are embroidered batiste, figured
lawn, organza and printed net; the
highly favored colors are pink, flesh,
periwinkle blue, nasturtium, honey,
beet root and green.
Barbara Bell Pattern No. l353-B Is
designed in sizes II to 20 and 80 to
A. Size Is, or "a, requires yards
OF 35-inch material, three quarter
yard contrast for ruffies.
Every Barbara Bell pattern has an
illustrated instruction guide that Is
easy TO follow.

How 1t Started
BY JEAN NEWTON.
"Moon of Green Cheese"

T TITLE does one stop to think, on
hearing the folish-sounding ref
erence to the moon being made OF
green cheese, that these words should
have literary and time-honored
origin. They are used sometimes by
skeptics in the manner of IF that is
true, then the moon is made of green
cheese" Sometimes it is with refer
ence to another's stupidity or gullibil-
ity as He'd believe that the moon is
made of green cheese"
In that old English classic, the
"Proberbes" Of John Haywood, first
published in 1916, we find: 1.-THE
income is made Of q greene cheese.
The great French satirist and humor-
ist, Francois Rabelais, in a sense a
contemporary of Haywood, and yet
antedating him, because some of the
work which made him immortal was
published earlier than the PROVERBS, -
also used the expression. In the fifth
chapter of the first book of his
Works" we find: He thought the
moon was made of green cheese"

wisdom of long experience, and war;
ness is the result Of that wisdom. He
didn't stay down in the mud long, fol-
he was sure there was no need for SC
doing, but when he did come out and
start back to the surface he did II
slowly and carefully, and he didn't
head for the place where he had been
but for q cluster Of young lily pads q
little to one side.
Probably everything Is all right,
thought he, but there is nothing like
being sure"
So he kept under water until he
was among those lily pads, and then
he slowly came to the surface. But he
didn't put his whole head out. No
indeed. He didn't do anything as fool
ish as that. All he did was to elevate
his big, bullying eyes above the water
You know, Grandfather Frogs eyes
are practically on top of his broad, fiat
head, and raised. So 1t Is possible for
him to be all under water but his eyes
which Is very handy arrangement
indeed. You know how a submarine
boat can be wholly under water. but
has what is called q periscope, which
can be thrust above the water, so that
those in the boat below can see what
is on the surface. This is tube with
mirrors in it, and it can be pushed
above the surface or withdrawn at
will. Grandfather Frogs eyes are like
that and are really very wonderful
He can elevate them, as he was now
doing, or he can lower them down In
their sockets until they are level with
the top of his head, so as not to be in
the way when he is swimming under
water.
So now Grandfather Frog floated in
the midst of the lily pads with just
his eyes above water, while he looked
this way and that way over the Smil-
ing Pool to make sure that all was
well. All seemed safe enough. The
chorus of Frogs and Toads was in full
swing. A more peaceful scene could
not be imagined. But Grandfather
Frog had lived too long to take any
thing for granted. Right over where
he had been before he dived was
something he didn't remember hav-
ing seen there before. It was motion
less. 1t might be q stick or q stake
which he hadn't noticed before,
Grandfather Frog kept still and
watched for the longest time. 1t
didn't move the teeniest, weeniest bit
Il looked harmless.
He tried to remember seeing that
thing before, but he couldn't, and
Grandfather Frog is proud of his men,
DRY. A sudden thought came to him.
He sank in the water and swan rap
idly under water to the bank some
distance away. He climbed out on a
stone at the waters edge.
"Chuga-rum! Chuga-rum!" shouted
he in his deepest tones. Then he
chuckled. Longlegs the Heron had
spread his great wings and was flying
of in disgust.

Creating Summertime Beauty
BY LOIS LEEDS.

| tanning Is not for every type. Some
OF us, particularly the red-haired
types, lack the fermentation in the
skin which makes it respond to sun
light by tanning. AS consequence,
an injudicious sun bath always brings
train Of skin troubles in its wake
The redhaired and others who have
sensitive skins must be content to
enjoy sunshine beneath a shady hat
or colored parasol and take every
care to preserve their delicate COM
plexions with soothing oil and lotions
But after all, as this type Of skin Is
always so charmingly free from tan,
it should not be disappointing task
10 look after it,
Brunettes should use ample guam
titles of cocoa butter or a special pro-
tective oil that is sold for the purpose
to assist the sun-tanning. Fairer skins
will tan more evenly and speedily II
the oil Is applied in smaller quantities,
but more frequently. The best way to
work is to smooth it on. one coating
at q time. and repeat the treatment
every Is minutes. Keep the oil run
ming smoothly by painting 1t In with a
pad of absorbent cotton. Above all,
remember TO be patient and do not
try to hurry the sun-tanning process
by reckless exposure. You will only
delay the effect for which you are
striving and spoil the texture of your
skin for weeks to come.
Many women proudly boast that
they have no need for any protection
or oil during the stay at the seaside.
But it is very necessary to protect and
lubricste the skin with soothing oils
and lotions. Face powders, too, need
to be chosen with discrimination, and
rich suntan shade or venetian or old
ivory is most generally suitable to use
when the skin is tanned.
