Winter has done pretty well
by our babies. There have not
been many days when they
were deprived entirely of their
fresh air maps on their own
porch.
While in this locality we do,
on occasion, register what to
outsiders sounds like extremely
low temperatures, the cold is
not felt here by anyone as
severely as in many otner
communities where the ther-
mometer may stand higher
but the air is damper.

Sensible Plan

A really cold winter day, pro
vided the sun shines and the
air is still and dry, will be
more suitable for a baby's out
door nap than a warmer but
windier day of spring, unless
proper precautions are taken.
For it is often not necessary
to keep a youngster indoors
when the wind blows.
The sensible plan is to put
Inn out in his carriage, but to
make sure that the carriage is
on the lee side Of the house.
The hood also can be adjusted

Wedding Present
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
Is it proper to send a gift to
a friends wedding when asked
to sing at the ceremony? I am
not a professional, and have
been asked to stay overnight at
the home Of the bride, as it is
out-of-town. Perhaps it would
be expected. N.
If the bride is a close friend
Of yours, you would quite
naturally wish to send her a
wedding present. The fact that
you are asked to sing at the
ceremony doesn't make any
difference with your giving her
a gift.

NJ. j. STUDENTS
TAKE PROTEST
To GOv. NICE

COLLEGE PARK, Md, Feb. IL.
Taking up the cause of the Uni
versity Of Maryland faculty in
protesting the slash in salaries
and the schools appropriation,
Warren Tydings, president Of the
Student Government Association,
accompanied by the student eX-
ecutive committee, will interview
Gov. Harry w. Nice today and
present their objections to his
budget message Of last week slic-
ing $4,000 from the university
appropriation.
The committee will face the
governor prepared to prove by
statistics that the University Of
Maryland will be seriously injured
II the budget cut goes into effect.
Mr.. Tydings said yesterday an
associate professor in the history
department already has gone to
teach in neighboring university
because of the impending salary
reductions, and at least two other
prominent professors are contem-
plating taking positions elsewhere.
The committee also will point
out to Governor Nice that the
State university, which is almost
wholly dependent on the State
appropriation, has suffered a
$4,000 cut in the new budget
while other State-aided educa-
tional institutions have received
increases totaling $4,000.
Intimating that Governor Nice
has been misled into believing the
university can stand the $4,000
cut, the student weekly paper yes
terday took a stand squarely be-
hind the faculty members who
are protesting proposed salary
cuts.

SEN. KING JOINS
IN PROBE Of
TRAFFIC

Senator William H. King CD,
OF Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, today ex'
pressed an inclination to ac'
QuieSce in the proposal of Senator
Arthur Capper (R0, of Kansas,
for a committee inquiry into
traffic and transportation prob
blems in the National Capital.
AS to the KanSan'S recommen-
dation that the housing situation
here be the subject of study,
the committee chairman said that
while he does not feel much would
be accomplished, he would not
oppose such an inquiry.
Might Help Situation
Senator King said:
eff 1 had to write the Ordi-
nanceS right now to facilitate
the traffic situation here,
would be at a loss. I think that
Senator Capper's proposal for
an inquiry into that matter is
worthy of consideration. Per.
hapS the Commissioners have
done all they can toward hand.
ling the matter, but think we
may be able to develop some
suggestions that may help the
local traffic situation.
81 have noticed that pedes-
trianS do not take care in cross
ing the streets as they should
and 1 also have noticed that au-
tOmObile drivers do not give way
to street cars as they should.
If this cooperation could be
developed, 1t would help.
GAS to cars parking on the
streets, I feel that that handi-
caps traffic materially, but 1
don't know what the poor
owner of an automobile would
do IL we required him to put
his car in a garage. 1t is
quite a problem and should be
studied"
Relative to the housing Situa
ton, Senator King said he feels
that that will take care Of it
self eventually. He said that
when there is a scarcity of rent
ing quarters. rents go up, but
that when builders find a market
for living quarters they will builc
more. and then after a while the
rents will come down again.
He opposes the creation of 8
rent commission to handle the
situation, arguing that building
will be curbed IF the builders
know that some commission il
going to be watching them al

this swiftness that saves her from
the larger jungle animals for she
has no horns to protect her.
She bounds through the air so
lightly that her tiny hooves hardly
seem to touch the ground, and like
the deer, the only chance to bring
her down Is to hamstring her.
Despite her natural timidity,
Annabelle is one of the tamest
of the Zoos inhabitants. She
is housed with the deer and
other gentle animals. Her life
is serene and much more COM

TWO ACCIDENTS ON MERIDEN HIGHWAY
Work of Removing Old Mad River Bridge Now
 Underway

Beginning of the removal of the old Mad River bridge on Meriden road preparatory to the erection of a new span was greeted with four accidents last night. Motorists came upon the ''road closed" signs in complete surprise, so much so that two drivers knocked down the large sign, while another lost con- trol of his truck as he came upon the barrier and struck a pole as he swung into detour street. In addition police came upon an over turned car in a ditch a short dis. tance beyond the bridge, the car proving to have been stolen short time before.
 A car driven by an unidentified driver struck the detour sign at o'clock last night, the sign being knocked down. At about 8 o'clock truck driven by Romeo Dumond of PCT South Main street struck a post as it swung into Woodland avenue. Patrolman Joseph Lovallo reported that the driver was un- hurt. Later the detour sign was knocked down again.
 At 10:30, Detective William Foley saw car in ditch near Pierpont road, off Meriden road. Investigation disclosed that the car was owned by Shalett's. Inc. and had been stolen at 9:45. Motor Patrolmen Thomas Bergin and John Walsh brought the machine to headquarters.
 The official detour during the construction work will be along Frost road to East Main street. Woodtick road. however. may also be used.

successive year in which heart dis eases accounted for a greater dtss bursement than did any other cause of death. The heart disense death claim payments in 1884 to- tailed $23,513,511, or one-sixth of the whole, as against $S,9SS,S77 in 1924.
 "The three principal degenera- tive diseases-heart disease, chroh. ic nephritis and cerebral hemor. rhage-together account for 28.3 per cent of the 1894 death clairo d.sbursements," the statisticiana say, ''as compared with 27.1 per cent in 1924"
 Discussing cancer mortality, ths statisticians declare:
 Cancer held second rank among the diseases with respect to money disbursed in 1894. As the crude cancer death rate has steadily in- creased, the per cent oe money paid out for cancer death claims has also steadily risen. In 1924 this per cent was 9.4; in 1894 1t was 11.8, and the. amount of claim payments was more than $17,O00, ,000."
 The greatest contrast in tho claim payment disbursement pie ture for 1924-1934 is that recorded by tuberculosis.
 Despite the enormous rise in the number of insured persons :n these ten years," the statisticians explain, "the actual sum paid out in 1884, in satisfaction of tubercu- losis death claims, was substantial- ly the same as in 1924. But in the later year only one dollar out of every 17 disbursed was paid on ac- count of tuberculosis, whereas in 1924 one dollar in every eight was so disbursed. Ten years ago the Metropolitan paid out about one. third more for tuberculosis than for cancer; now 1t disburses twice as much for cancer as for tubercu- losis.'' , It is pointed out that less than 6 per cent of all disbursements was on account of pneumonia, as com pared with 7.7 per cent in 1924. But, it is explained, if pneumonia and influenza should be considered together, they would rank ahead of all other causes of death except heart disease, cancer and acci-' dents.
 Accidental death claim disburse- nlents rose from approximately $6.00,000 in 1924 to more than $16,00O,000 last year. Payments for both typhoid fever and diph- theria have both declined to the low figure of one-tenth of l per cent of the total disbursements On the other hand diabetes claim pay ments have increased steadily from $1,056,714 in 1924 to more than $3,800,000 in 1894.

The Federal Council of Churches of Christ in America has offered the full cooperation of it's three hundred nationwide member. or ganizations in support of plans for the Connecticut Tercentenary, un- der cooperative arrangements made with Albert R.

 A letter is to be sent by the council to all members asquaintihg them with the facts of Connecti- cuts Precautionary and suggesting that they urge their pastors to par. ticipate in a special "Connecticut Sunday" The letter will stress the states religious history and the part in the secular and ecclesias tical development of the United States by Connecticut men and women.
 The Precautionary Commission is hopeful that in their plans for a special Sunday the pastors of the nations churches will, when pos- sible, coordinate their ceremonies with the date of the "Connecticut Sabbath" to be celebrated genar- ally throughout the state on Octo- Der 6, 1895.

Two hundred and fifty cities in the United States and Canada, in- cluding Waterbury, have been in- vited to participate in three-day conference in Cincinnati, Ohio, called by the Family Welfare As sociation of America, on April 4th, 9th and 9th, to take stock of the effect of present economic and so- cial conditions on family life, ac- cording to an announcement made today by Mrs John M. Glenn, presl- dent of the association.
 William H. Harris, local EZRA administrator and secretary of the Lincoln House Association. may represent Waterbury at the confer ence.
 In announcing the conference, Mrs Glenn calls attention to the fact that this year marks the 9th anniversary of organized family welfare work in the United States. The first family-welfare agency was started in Buffalo, N. Y., in 1877, in the midst of another de- precision. Before the establish mcnt of the Charity Organization Society of Buffalo. charity-giving in the United States was carried on by individuals in a more or less hit-or- miss method," states Mrs Glenn. "The Buffalo Society plan for family assistance substituted organized methods of rehabilita- ton for harmful but well-meaning almsgiving of the past. It sought to preserve the self-respect of the individual and to aid hins to get back on his feet again. This plan of family service met with such success that 1t spread rapidly throughout the United States.

 "At the Cincinnati conference, reports from large cities and small, from villages and rural areas, will be given in an effort to determine the effect of the present social con- ditions on family life.

Death Claims For

New York, N.

Automobile fatalities accounted for the pay ment of S6,372,833, or A.4 per cent of the total 1894 death claim dis bursements.

 In breaking down the total tosin- dicate the proportionate amounts for which various diseases were re- sponsible, statisticians of the com pany also give a striking picture of@ the phenomenal improvement in tuberculosis mortality. describe a serious cancer situation, and show that heart diseases accounted for the greatest outlay of any dis ease classification. The amounts disburscd in payment of heart dis ease and cancer death claims were each approximately two and one- half times what they were in 1924.
 While 1t is implied that heart disease mortality may not be quite as serious as it appears at first glance, as the disease itself affects principally the older ages, and the average age of the policyholders is advancing, it is explained, never theless, that 1884 was the eleventh
