STATE BOTTLERS
 AWAIT MEETINGS
Many Connecticut Mem- bers to Attend Session
 in Washington, D. C.

Washington, D. O., Oct. ll.--As an indication of industrial trends the forthcoming convention and expo sition of the American Bottlers of Carbonated Beverages shows that business has definitely improved over the last five years. Space al- 1otment in the exposition has far exceeded any of the five preceding years, and hotel reservations at this early date indicate that delegate at- tendance will also exceed any of the five preceding years.
 The bottling industry Is well rep- resented within each of the forty eight states, and the examples given above prove that general business is definitely on the upgrade.
 Many bottlers from Connecticut alone are planning to attend the 17..i annual convention and expo sition in Baltimore, November 1922. They know that their national asso- cia.. .)n has arranged to have na- tionally known speakers at both the convention sessions and the special meetings who will bring them up-to- the-minute ideas on pertinent prob- lems in their industry, together with technical demonstrations giv. en daily on the floor of the expo sition, to help them with their bot ting problems and to demonstrate any Lllase of the manufacturing process they may desire.
 Indicative of the optimism with which fires catering to the beverage industry regard it's immediate fu- ture, many regular exhibitors at our Annual Expeditions have increased their space reservations this year. These firns appreciate that condi- tions are steadily improving, and that hundreds of bottlers needing new equipment and supplies will make their purchases at the coming exposition. This is of paramount in- terest. to bttlers also as they have the opportunity to inspect the dis plays of the latest infovations and Improvements in bottling equipment and supplies. The variety and large number of displays for which ar- arrangements already have been made are noteworthy. They include pro- ducts of manufacturers representing every branch of the beverage supply trade, @ number of whom will make their initial showings to the indus try in Baltimore.

2l,745 HYDRANTS
 IN USE IN CONN.
Fire Prevention Week In= dicates Needs of State
 in Preparedness

Fire prevention week of 1895 finds Connecticut cities and towns un- questionably better equipped than at any previous time in the 300 years of the states history to com- bat outbreaks of fire and to limit the annual heavy damages which fire ifflicts on the state. it is shown by statistical data supplied to the public utilities commission by the water supply utilities and municipal departments.
 According to these statistics, Connecticut towns and cities have a total of 21,745 public fire hydrants which are the heart of the fire pro- lection system. This number is more than 2,OOO greater than the total reported by the utilities to the com mission two years ago, fact which gives evidence of improved fire pro- lection in this state.
 Areouate numbers of hydrants, spaced strategically for fire fight ing and with proper water pressure maintained, are considered py ire department officials and by insur- ance underwriters as most important cogs in the protective machinery. Spacing is of particular importance since no amount of water pressure is sufficient to overcome the loss of force which is sustained in the hose through friction when unusually long lengths of hose must be used. Coming through an ordinary fire hose, two and one-half inches in diameter, water loses 20 pounds of pressure for every 100 feet. This makes the most effective length of hose between 250 and $50 feet and dictates the spacing of hydrants. Hydrants spaced at intervals great CT than 500 to 600 feet have been found to be particularly ineffective unless powerful pumping apparatus is available.
 Maintenance of the proper pres- sure at the hydrant rests with the public utilities supplying the water, the pressure being brought to the required amount by means of grav- ity or by pumps, depending upon the location of the hydrant with re- spect to the reservoir from which 1t is supplied. Sometimes, both means of developing adequate pressure are used. The water supply utilities thus have ar1 important role in fur nishing fire protention to the state. In recent years, many improve ments in the water supplies have
 been made to increase fire protection
 in Connecticut by insuring good
 pressure, these improvements moi only assuring more limited fire loss.

Double breasted suits will tap a vast reservoir of masculine interest this season with the advent of the rolled to -the- bottom-button model, as illustrated here. It's a British origination which Is rapidly being adopted by well-dressed men of America. Note the graceful curve of the lapel that has been slilfully fashioned and molded to meet the lower button. 1,
 The middle button may be used though the garment is most hand some when only the bottom button is fastened. The lapels are cut wider;l the waistline is set lower; the jacket heightened trife and the sleeves trimly tapered. The whole effect tends to "build up" the cl.scs and shoulders. By the srsne token, the illns'nn of a simmer waist and added heisnt is created.

URGE PRESCRIBED
 LIGHT FOR VISION
Makes Sight Better-Spe' cialists Advice Import . ant to Health

Pointing out that one pair of glasses will not fit everybody, an educational program is now being carried on to show people that diff ferent eyes and different kinds of work demand different amounts of light.
 Thu order that everyone's eyes may have the light they individu- ally require-accordinG to age, con- dition, and the work they do-the Better Vision Institute suggests that eyesight specialists prescribe light at the same time they prescribe lenses for glasses. A technique has been developed which enables the specialist to determine just how much light a patient should have. using his new glasses, for different tasks such as reading, typewriting, blueprint reading, bokkeeping, sew ing, card playing, and the like.
 The intensity of light preferred by the patient for different eye tasks is determined through the use of a variable illuminator and a light measuring meter. The patient then gets light prescription which, un- like a drug prescription, he can understand, and which can be filled by any competent electric lighting engineer.
 Some tasks such as pen work engraving, or needlework require more light than less exacting eye tasks. Such work may be done in daylight without undue eye-strain, but these tasks are often per- formed at night, or in offices ar- tificlally illuminated, under light one-tenth or one-hundredth as strong as it ought ito be. Sometimes it is less than e-thousandth oi the ordinary daylight intensity which mans eyes were meant to use
 Despite vigilance on the part of parents and teachers, investigations still discover children who are thought stupid or slow to grasp things, when the real cause of their slowness is not their mentality but their sight. Sometimes the poor sight is due to defective eyes, to which clear vision should be re- stored by proper glasses; sometimes | it is due to poor light which makes studying difficult. Children should always have plenty of good light ir which to do their homework, ano some of the test cards included ir the Institutes new light prescribing procedure cover the eye-tasks o1 school children.

A well balanced wardrobe should include the three button, single breasted suit. Tn my travels through style centers l observed this model quite frequently. Young men especially, will welcome its soft front, high roll lapels and it's trim, athletic lines.
 Be on the watch for the latest custom cut lapels. They resemble notch lapels but differ in that the notch opening is much narrower. It's a distinctive innovation.
 Many of the better grade gar
 nents have broader sleeve heads and high arm holes. Combined, these features grant the wearer more freedom and comfort; prevent the back of the coat from riding up; and produce e broad-shouldered outline without the sacrifice of smart lines at the chest, shoulder blades and waist. |

Ralph S. Willard, young chemist,

Willard claims will revive warm
blooded animals after they have
been frozen to DEATH" when DR.. c..
C. Warn, humane society, stepped
into the picture.
The humane officer, who had ex-
amined the frozen monkey at the
start of the experiment, suddenly
announced the experiment was lille
gal. Willard said the monkey would
die if he did not continue his thaW-
ing-out operations.
Violates Penal Code
But I don't want to be arrested, p"
he said.
DR.. Warn was noncOmmlttal,
pointing out experiments with ami
mails violated the state penal code,
which prohibits them except in
state university laboratories.
The alteration over the le-
gality occurred when DR.. Warn
and a newspaper man wanted to
know why the chemist kept

key we're exposed to the air.
