Bills Unfavorable
 To Committee, Says
 Blackall Thursday
Thons and McDermOtt Bent on Defeating Adverse Re- ports tuesday -Naugatuck Representative PrO-
 poses More Rural Towns Included in Waterbury

derwriters and Robert l.. Hall of the Aetna Life companies explain ed the methods used in underwrit- ing insurance in the various areas. They also pointed out that accident frequency in the areas forms the basis for fixing of rates. It was on this point that Representative McDermott urged including more small towns in the ''Waterbury area.
 Insurance Commissioner Howard P. Durham opposed both bills. He offered the estimate of $10O,0OO for the investigation work that would be necessary if either the Thoms or McDermott bills was passed. A. H. Yost of the Phoenix Mutual Life told the committee that transac- tions made by the insurance com panies are open to the public at the office of the insurance commission CT at this time and that any lin- vestigation would be unnecessary.
 Suggested Probe
 Lieutenant Governor Frank Hayes, in his last annual message to the aldermen in January, pro- posed the investigation of the auto liability insurance rates here and it was because of his request that the Thoms bill was introduced. Naugatuck later fell in line with its bill. Watertown or Middlebury have introduced no bills concern ing the situation

No stone is being left unturned to make the exhibit as attractive and as au- thentic as possible. It will show the rise of Waterbury, once called "Mattatackoe" by the Indians, and later "Mattatuck" by the early settlers, from wilderness with bears, deer, wolves and other wild animals, to an obscure village and then on to one of the chief cities in Connecticut. It will be educa- tional as well as interesting, &C., cording to those supervising its formation.
 Visitors to Settlers Village" will see the type of house erected and occupied by the first white men to reach Waterbury. This was close to 300 years ago, for the first deed concerning land pur- chased here from the Indians was deposited in Pennington in 1857. Visitors will also see the "Proprie- tors Agreement house," which was built by the pioneers in conform ity to the provisions of an agree ment wherein they were obliged to erect certain type of house within six months or vacate the land in- volved. These houses measured l 6 by IS feet and were about 9 feet high over all.

| designed for her needs. Shirley will be six years old April 23.
 This diet and a regular routine of exercise and rest I have closely adhered to, and still do for that matter. Believing that the doctor, from his experience with hundreds of babies, knows much better than I could, I have followed his sug- gestions to the letter. And believe me when I say it had required plenty of patience and determine tion.
 Not Very Expensive
 Such a regimen is not expensive. Everywhere you can find good baby doctors who will check on your youngsters and plan diets for them. Tn the larger cities there are clinics you may go to if you are unable to spare the few extra dollars.
 But all the doctors in the world can't help you unless you, the parent, sticks to one plan and per mits no one to sway you. As 1 said before grandmother may pooh pooh modern methods and what she calls "fandangles, but times have changed and modern doctors know many things that our moth CTS never heard about. If you must have proof, a glance at in- fant mortality figures of to-day as compared with mcther's day should be convincing. If you have found diet and a plan that works well, do 'nltet anyone talk you out of 1t.
 Tempted Many Times
 I've been tempted, of course, many times. It's always easier ia take short cuts. But I've always stuck to what the doctor told mc, and I'm certainly satisfied with the results. Shirley has never beer sick day and to vary her plan of life would be downright silly. Shirley's diet is simple and she
 has grown to like plain, whol..- | some food. She soon will be six
 and her food habits are now well l established.
 Observe Mental Side Aside from diet, it is well to l look at the mental side of child s | upbringing. Always be frank ani
 truthful and never mislead yonr child by subterfuge. You must dc | this if you wish q youngster to be
 equally honest with ycu. l want Shirley always to feel that I am her best friend and that If she needs advice, I am the one who can help her. I cannot expect
 this confidence if I ever deceive her.,
 l My last and most important suggestion to those v'ho want hap
 py, healthy children, is to never
 be cross or rude before them, es-
 pecially to other children. Other ! wise your little girl or boy may think that is the proper way t,
 treat others. Even though rel

Inyestigation of the methods of fixing rates for automobile liabil- ity, as proposed in bills now pend ing before the state legislature sponsored by Representatives John D. Thoms of this city and William McDermott of Naugatuck would cost s1OO,OO0. This was one of the main points brought out yesterday in Hartford at re-hearing on the Thoms and McDermott bills before the legislative committee on insur- ance. The committee. of which Senator John c. Blackall of Hart ford. former Waterburian. is chair man. has decided to report both measures unfavorably.
 Representative Thoms stated to- day that he will seek to defeat the unfavorable reports on the floor or the house when it comes in next Tusday. It is expected that Repre- sentative McDermott will do the same and that both men will be supported by the democratic side of the house as well as a few. re- publicans. The principal fight on the rejection of the unfavorable re- ports, however. will come in the senate where the democrats are more strongly entranched.
 Enlarge Area
 At yesterdays re-hearing of the Thoms and McDermott bills, Rep- resentative McDermott offered a solution to the local situation. At the present time Waterbury. Naug- atuck, Middlebury and Watertown are included in the so-called Wa terbury area' and the rates in this area, are set up by the insurance company, are admittedly higher than they are in other areas" in the state. Representative McDer- mott proposed having more rural towns included in the Waterbury area" so that the ratio of auto ac- cidents to the number of cars in sured might be cut down.
 The Thoms and McDermott bills did not apply just to the Water bury area" however, but called for thorough investigation of the auto liability insurance rate fixing for the entire state. A week ago yesterday Representative Thoms charged that a monopoly exists in the state and that because of this faca there is no competition among insurance companies in Connecti- cut. hence the fixed rates for this and other areas.

Mother of Famous Little Shirley Temple Could Not Re-

Telegraph Editors Note: Every day some American moth- CTS, envylng the bubbling good health and irrepressible spirits --On the screcn-Of Shirley Temple, HollywOOd's child star, write to Shirley's mother, and ask for advice raising young sters. Because such requests ar. rive by the thousands, Mrs Tenn. pIe had been unable, physically, to respond to each individual : question. But. having the in- teresas of childhood at heart, she has consented to make her views on child welfare and training public, which she does in the following dispatch from Hollywood.
 Copyright, 1885, United Press).
 Hollywood, Calf, April 19.-- (UP)-Close your ears to your next-door neighbor who is full of ideas on how you should raise your child. Don't even listen to grandma when she tells you that they raised children in her day and strapping ones, too-witho 1t all these thew fandangles." She means well, but she doesn't always know.
 While I'm no believer in fan danglks'' and health fads, I am a firm convert to intelligent direction of a chiId's life, both physically and mentally.
 Happy Child, Healthy
 "A happy child is healthy child," is a maxim that every par- ent who has the welfare of her youngsters at heart, should alway s remember.
 A special effort on your part to be happy and cheerful, even un- der the most trying circumstances, will pay biz dividends in the char acter and disposition of your child.
 If you are out of sorts, or Tn the least irritated, avoid outward display even if you must slip away by yourself for awhile.
 Never talk business or financial worries when you are with your little ones. Save these ordeals un- til they are safely tucked in bed, as they are unconsciously affected by your mental attitude whether they comprehend the problems or not.
 These are a few generalities have learned from my experience in rearing Shirley and her two brothers.
