HOUSE EXTERIOR
 BADLY SCORCHED
Sunday Afternoon Blaze on Wall Street Started
 on Back Porch

The exterior of q two fan1li house owned by Mrs Mary HugNes at IA wan street was cousidez@ ably damaged yesterday afterneo1z by a blaze which apparently nao started on a rear veranda- The flames covered the back of the house, the roof and spread into a second floor apartment occupied by Edward Collins.
 Four companies answered the alarm, which went in shortly be- fore 3 o'clock, with one of the companies remaining on the scene for more than two hours. The cause of the fire was not definitely determined.
 An alarm was sent in yesterday afternoon from the gas station of John Porzenheim, $40 West Main street, when benzine fumes became | ignited from a lighted match. No damage was done.

Auto Accidents Due
 To Color Blindness
Frederick C. Russell Lists Defective Vision as Con-
 tributory Cause of Many Mishaps

who has lack of depth perception. If you have little difficulty nak- ing this test you probably have exceptionally good, depth percep- tion. Be sure to try the same test with the left eye as we'll as the right, since it is quite possible that Qne eye will be stronger than the other.
 Accidents Needless Ocular dominance is responsible for a great many unnecessary ac- cidents. Ordinary eye strain that tires both eyes equally is far less troublesome, not only because the driver is more aware of its ap- proach but invariably he senses other types of fatigue simultan- eously. His legs may become weary before his eyes give out with the result that he decides to get some rest. This decision is made be- fore he meets a situation where his weary eyesight traps him into a mistake.
 It wouldn't make any difference how clear the windshield glass is, if the driver had a restricted field of vision there would be every likelihood of his failing to see what is to the right or left of the path of vision directly ahead. Drivers with such restricted range of vision are handicapped just as eff fectively as the driver with aver age eyesight would be wearing binders or driving 8 car with too wide front body pests.
 Color Blindness Added to these difficulties are color blindness and lack of resist ance to glare. Various eye weak nesses are often combined into odd patterns of danger. Failure to "see" safety is too often a physi- cal, fact, not a mental quirk. Let's put on our specs and take a real look at safety.

Abnormal eyesight on the part of drivers. is blamed for many avoidable auto accidents by Fred erick c. Russell, writing in the special Safety issue of the Con- necticut Motorist, publication of the Connecticut Motorists club, which is affiliated with the Ameri- can Automobile association.
 Thousands of accidents, MT Rus sell says. can be attributed to some of the lesser known errors of vision, such as tunnel vision, oscu- lar dominance or lack of depth perception. Color blindness is also listed as being responsible for a number of mishaps. as is the unus- ual failing of lack of resistance to glare.
 State Tests Limited
 Many dangerous persons are at the wheels of Connecticut cars, claims MT Russell, because of the fact that eye tests for potential drivers are limited to acuity tests. The fact that two drivers can see the same object at the same time, he says, does not mean that their vision is equally good.
 Excerpts from MT Russelps arti- cle follow:
 Close one eye and note how diff ficult it is to bring your two in- dex fingers together distance of a couple of feet from your nose. This is the problem faced by the driver

Adventurous Life
 Naugatuckians will have the privilege of hearing next week a prominent journalist who even in his youth was dogged by adven- ture and who has had many thrill ling experiences during his life. This is William Hard, Washington political correspondent and well known to the country through his radio broadcasts. He will talk in Pythian hall Wednesday night, October IT under the auspices of the Naugatuck Woman's Club.
 Hard's earliest recollection was of being stoned in the streets of Ajmir India when boy. Along with his father, who was clergy man, they insisted on trying to worship in a Mohammedan mos que after having first taken off their shoes in the Mohammedan way. The natives thought this was to progressive for Christian mis- sionaries. "I ha@e tried to be more considerate Of conservative sensi- biIitieS ever since.
 Mir Hard was born in Painted Post. New York and received a Phi Beta Kappa key when at Northwestern University from which he was graduated. He wrote in various papers and magazines, being employed under the personal direction of Theodore Roosevelt on the Metropolitan magazine.

I met Col. and Mrs. William
Clifford, Of Virginia, yesterday
just back from a months stay
In Bermuda, and they told me
an amusing story Of fox hunting
in Bermuda-although there are
no foxes there.
It seems that what they really
have is a paper chase, but they
all dress up in good-looking
English togs, and a great many
wear pink coats. Off they go,
at a great rate of speed.
They have a horn that is
blown at intervals to make it
exciting-for there are no
hounds to follow-just the bits
Of torn up paper-but they have
great fun and the finish is gen.
orally at some place where they
end up with tea and drinks.
Horses are taken home from
there by grooms.
After an enjoyable afternoon
over tea and drinks, the riders
Of the chase mount bicycles and
go merrily home with pink coat
tails flying in the breeze, in a
most colorful manner.
I expect there are many peo-
pie in washington and Virginia
who will remember this incident,
that Mrs. Rozier Dulany, sr., re-
minded me of, after having read
what I wrote Of Silver Crest last
week:
Some years ago, on the race
track out at the Washington
Horse Show Grounds, there was
a ladies race.
Becky Lanier. very little girl
then, rode Silver Crest. She
won the race, but, when they
pulled up at the finish, Becky
couldn't stop Silver Crest. He
wasn't really running away, but
she hadn't strength enough in
her arms to pull him down. SO.
around he went again, much
to the excitement of the grand
stand, but when he started
around the third time, there
was real uneasiness and fears
that she would fall off, from
exhaustion, and be seriously
hurt.
Freddie McElhone, owning
Silver Crest and feeling respon-
sible for Becky's safety, ran to
his stable, jumped on big high
headed chestnut gelding and
started in hot pursuit of Becky
on Silver Crest.
It was a thrill minute and
the whole grandstand arose with
one accord, with cries of excite
ment and encouragement. Fred
die went at a hard run, gain
ing steadily. until he ran along
side, spoke to Silver Crest.
caught his bride and stopped
him.
AS Freddie jumped off his own
horse anc. lifted Becky from Sill
yer Crest, he was so relieved
at her being unhurt that he
kissed the little girl, whereupon
she boxed his ears Soundly.
have often heard Freddie
tell this story and laugh at the
child'S indignation. When, in
stead, she should have been
very frightened.
