 nti-Parking Color Scheme

Waterbury's water depart ment has adopted . new color scheme for it's hydrants, . combination of red and aIuIlii- mum that is in vogue i'm many cities throughout the United States. In the past the local hydrants, 1900 in number, have been painted black but during the past couple of months workmen of the water department have been engaged in putting the new color scheme into effect.
 To date, about two-thirds of the 1900 hydrants have been changed in color from black to red and aluminium. The new color scheme is considered bet ter than the old one, black, because the red stands out body in the day and the alunii- mum top is easily discernabie at night not only for the fire department but also for auto- ists seeking parking space.
 It is possible that the num- bcr of accidents involving autos and hydrants will be cut down considerably here as n result of the adoption of the new color scheme. It was stated to- day by Assistant Superintcnd- ent of Water Frank Cassin that many leading water de- partment experts favor paint ing hydrants yellow, also.

CHARLES ECCERT
 DID OPERATION UPON HIMSELF
Wasn't Anything He Said, But He Had to Enter
 the Hospital

New York, Aug. 14.-(UP)-Au occasional nurse or interne poked a curious face into the room of Charles Eggert, 40, of Gothair hos pital to-day and the 25O pound oil driller made wry faces at the "notofiety" heapkd upon him be- cause he operated on himself to relieve a sinus infection. Eesert swore he would go right back to Port-Au-Spain, Trinidad, to avoid all the fuss. Don't go making something out of nothing" lie ad- monished.
 No Anaesthetics
 Doctors verified that all he had done was to push a silver tube through thin bone into his left antrum and drain the infected area. He used no aflaksthetic.
 "Now look," said Egsert. T went to doctors in Port-Au-spain and they advised me to come to New York to have an operation by men who had studied sinus in- fection. I was drilling a well, and couldn't get away. As a mat ter of fact, to be quite frank, I couldn't afford 1t.
 Wasn't Anything
 Tt wasn't anything. I don't see why 1t had caused attention. You see a dentist had pulled two of my teeth and he drilled right throug hmy jaw bone into the an- trum to allow a drainage. That's where got the silver tube. I was supposed to use it to drain the antrum through my jawbone.
 But I got tired of that and all I did was to push the tube in and break the bone.
 'There was really nothing to It." he continued. 1T just pushed 1t through there. But the sinus kept developing so finally I had to come up here and have a real opera tion.n

However, the red and alumni

However, the red and aluini- mum combination adopted here is being praised by property owners, also, as it encliances the beauty of the thorough fares, especially in the Pesi. dentisl districts.
 Assistant Superintendent Cassin pointed out today that in the past the city used the color black because asphaItum paint which dried in 10 or 15 minutes removed the danger of pedestrians getting their clOth- ing stained. The new red and aluminium combination calls for paint which takes two to three hours to dry. As . re. suit a wire fencing must be placed around the hydrants while the drying is going on.
