Speaker Byrns, of the House,
today urged extension of the
MIRA for two years. He said:
eff it is any good at all it
should be continued for. this
time, instead of seven or nine
months. If the NRA is no good
it should be abolished. I doubt
If the House will accept any

Burgesses Support
 Stand Of Sheridan
Warden Failed to Withdraw Town Equipment To-day
 and Close EZRA Office Despite Threat

Naugatuck, March Warden John J. Sheridan had not carried out this morning his threat to withdraw town equipment from the EZRA and close the local EZRA office despite the fact that Charles Rathburn, bone of conten- ,tion between the administration and EZRA officials, started work today, as assistant foreman on the EZRA.
 However the stand of the war den received the public support of democratic members of the board or warden and burgesses and of the board of public welfare at a private meeting last night. Warden Sheridan said he is planning to take steps to quell the Interference with the present ad- ministration which Mir Whittemore and, his political assistants have
 been instigating. They have been trying to cause the town unneces- sary expenditures in an effort to
 use this argument against the dem- ocratic party on election day" he added.
 Tn, response to a question as to whether he intends to carry out his threat about closing the FERA he indicated he does not intend to tdo so for the present at least. .'It would mean that more than roo men would lose work and l believe Mir Whittemore wishes to place me in 8 position that would prove. embarrassing later.' he de- clared..
 He warned that Mir Wittemore would seek wage reductions in EZRA workers after election.

until after election to bounce and cut wages" the warden asserted.

 At meeting of the democratic members of the board of warden and burgesses and the board of charities on February 28, 1885, the following were present, Victor Burkus, Leo Brophy, Joseph Din- ncny, Richard Durkin, Richard Parkinson and Patrick Scully.
 Warden John J. Sheridan ex- plained the reason for his attitude in the Charles Rathburn controver- sy with the local administration of the EZRA.
 Upon a motion made and unani- mously carried the following reso- lution was adopted:
 Be it resolved that we, the dem- ocratic side of the board of warden and burgesses and the board of charities, approve the warden s stand in this controversy and pledge our united support to him as chief executive of the borough of Naugatuck in this or any future dealings or controversies with the local administration or any other official of the federal emergency relief administration

INFLUENZA DEATH
 TOTALS INCREASE
Tuber rcnlOsis Rate for Jan- nary Same as Year Ago
 Reveals Insurance Co 2

New York, N. Y.-sharply, lin- creased. mortality, from influenza and pneumonia among the millions of Industrial policyholders of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Con- pany during the first, month of 1884 has been counterbalahced by decreases in deaths from some other diseases. SO that the death rate among this large cross-seciton of the population, is recorded at about the January average. The insurance company's statisticians report that aside from the high CT incidence of respiratory diseas- es during January there was noth- ing: to indicate unusual prevalence of communicable diseases.
 The increase in influenza and pneumonia deaths has not been accompanied, as so aften happens, by increases in mortality from the principal degenerative conditions. In fact, the January record showed declines of 5,8 per cent in deaths frokl heart ,dise.S,e, 7.3 per cent in cerebral. hemorrhage and 5.6 per cent in chronic nephritis, as ,com- pared with January 1884. a,H s
 4AS tuDG4CuiOob6 0cdtH Iob0 AOA the month remained about the same as that of a year ago. The statisticians report that failure to register the expected dropy in deaths from this cause may have been due to the high incidence from influenza, which usually has tens the death of considerable numbers of tubercular persons. They comment that influenza may have played a similar part in the sizeable increases shown in the January death rates for, diabetes and diseases of the maternal state.

Poems That Live

TO YOUTH
Where art thou gone, light-ankled
Youth?
With wing at either shoulder,
And smile that never left thy
mouth.
Until the Hours grew colder:
Then somewhat seemed to whisper
near
That thou and I must part;
| doubted it; l felt no fear,
No weight upon the heart.
If aught befell it, Love was by
And rolled it off again;
So, if there ever was a sigh,
Twas not sigh of pain.
| may not call thee back; but thou
Retu1nest when the hand
OF gentle Sleep waves Ger my
brow
His poppy-crested wand;
Then smiling eyes bend over mine,
Then lips once pressed invite;
But sleep hath given q silent sign,
And both, alas! take Eight

IF YOU are planning a short
cruise during November, and we hope
you are, you will need one or TWO
dresses that later you can wear under
your fur or fur-trimmed coat.
The shirtwaist type is particularly
suitable for this sort of trip, and it
may be of one of the lightweight
woolens, sheer crepe or flannel. A
suit is very good, with possibly a
one-piece dress under a short Jacket,
over which you can wear, for
warmth, one of the three-quarter
length swagger coats that are so
popular this season.

and the security of a vast number
of our people are dependent upon the
competence, devotion and intelligence
of our public servants, self-interest
as well as patriotism calls for a mill
tant movement to bar from public
office grafters. incompetents. and the
Indifferent. Public service must be
safeguarded if government is to sur
vive the strains that are now being
put upon it."
Governmental affairs has been one
of Mrs. Kings special interests for a
number of years. She is president
of Cook County (Chicago) League OF
Women Voters, which is one of the
outstanding women's organizations In
Chicago's civic affairs.

FACTS AND FANCIES
How to Wash Silks

Use lukewarm water and any
mild, pure soap flakes. Make gen.
erous soapsuds and squeeze suds
through the silk, instead of rubbing.
Knead the soiled spots gently. Rinse
the garment in two or three waters
and hang out of the sun to dry.
When nearly dry. press with mod
erately hot iron. Pongee silks should
be allowed to dry before ironing.
