 Michael Sheehy, president of the Young Democratic club of Ansonia, will apparently be the democratic nominee for judge of probate in the Derby district. The probate convention will take place next week. Sheehy is graduate of Yale. Judge James T. Mac Kay, republican incumbent, will run once more. He is completing his fifth term.
 State Senator E. Gaynor Bren- nan of Stamford, who represented the 27th district in the upper house of the legislature during the 1885 session is being opposed for renomination. His bitterest critic is Charles Moore of Stamford. Brennan is prosecutor of the Stamford police court. Lester Barlow, another republican of prominence, is also helping to put Brennan "on the spot". Lester Barlow charges that Brennan has been "quashing" too many cases. Moore helped frame much of the present liquor control act.
 Harlowe w. Willis has been named acting chief of the Man chester fire department. Chief Edward R. Coleman died recently. A regular chief will be selected next June. Willis has been first assistant chief of the Manches- ter fire department for a num- : Der of years.
 Democrats of Madison had . contest over the nomination of second selectman. After 8 stiff battle August Oslander emerged victorious, defeating Charles Schroeder and James Schmidt. Marshall E. Case has been re- nominated for first seIectman by the republicans of Barkhamstead. Attorney General Edward J. Daly will not render any legal opinion on the right of Senators Matthew A. Daly and Julius c Stremlau to sit in at the coming special session of the legislature. The issue, he maintains, lies with the senate itself. Under the constitu- ton the legislature is power unto itself and has the right to seat or unseat it's members.
 Plans for a rally which will bring all members of the g. o. p. state ticket to Waterbury were launched last night at Q meet ing of the republican town com- mittee.

BOSTON, Jan. 16.-A new optical
material which promises to save
thousands of lives now Snuffed out
in night driving because of head
light glare is announced by the
J and Wheelwright Laboratories of
this city.
known as Polaroid, the new mate
rial is also to be used for sun
glasses which take away dazzle
without darkening the view and
even more important make possible
motion pictures in three dimensions
that, have the optical illusion of
depth similar to viewing a scene
with the naked eye.
Other Uses Indicated
Other uses promised include one
way glass for cross-court privacy in
apartment buildings and brilliant
building exteriorS that change color
as one walks by.
Polaroid resembles sheet of
glass, but has the ability to polarize
the light which passes through it.
Now ready to be produced in un-
limited quantities the new material
is the first practical use of what has
formerly been a laboratory and re-
search phenomenon.
Polarize6 light is light which
vibrates only in one direction in
contrast to the heller skelter vibra-
tions in the ordinary light ray
Polaroid acts to produce the polar
lied light.
Polarization Is Explained
Best way to think of the COM
plicated phenomenon is to regard
ordinary light vibrations as a mass
of straws tossed up in a wind.
They are blown against picket
fence. All straws are stopped ex-

Japan's delegation prepared to
leave for home, after withdrawing
because other nations refused to
concede them the right of full equal

1t was forecast that Viscount
Monsell of Evesham, as chairman of
the conference, would invite the
japanese today to leave observers at
the conference.
There was little excitement today
as delegates prepared for a four

pected the conference to succeed, at
the present time, in its task of re-
placing the Washington and Lon
don naval treaties which expire

Delegates remaining at the con-
ference intend to invite Germany

The japanese, in withdrawing.
emphasized their desire to avoid a
building race. Their demand is for
equality with other powers.
The American argument is that
equality does not mean real security.
because the United States is so sit

Murder Says Pastor

By United Press
TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 16.-The
man who will carry the consolation
of religion to Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann in his last hours believes the
state of New Jersey is going to COM
NIT murder tomorrow night.
The Rev. John Matthieson, Lu-
theran pastor, says there are other
ways of determining guilt or inno-
cence than weighing. testimony. He
told about it, seated in chair out
side the barred gate leading to the
State Prison death house.
I'm all modesty," he said, "I tell
you that have searched this mans
soul. He is innocent I am not a
sentimentalist. 1 believe in capital
punishment, If man is a MUIR
derer, but if I have to pray for
Richard Hauptmann before he is
executed, I am going to be sick. 1t
will be murder-legal murder"
Claims He's Religious
Mr.. Matthieson said Hauptmann
was confirmed in the Lutheran faith
at the age Of Is in Kamenz, Ger
many.
"Is he still religious?" he was
asked.
Il think he is" Mr.. Matthieson
replied. But of course we talk about
other things besides religion when
go in to see him."
What other things?"
oh, politics or science or any,
thing that he is in the mood to dis
cuss."
How long do you talk?"
Most of the time for about 81 or
40 minutes"
Does he pray?"
With me, yes. I read him verse
or two Of Scripture at the Nend Of
every visit and then say a prayer. Z

the fence and all straws coming
through are lined up in one direc-
ton. The material polaroid acts
as the picket fence.
For use in automobiles all head
lights would send out polarized
light vibrating in one direction and
all windshields would be crossed
so that they would not permit such
headlight rays to enter and blind
the driver.
The light from ones own head
lights would strike the ground
ahead, be scattered with destruc-
ton of the polarization and hence
make possible vision down the road
just as headlights act now.

What TO DO FOR
ECZEMA ITCHING
AND BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
Resinol Soap and warm water to
soften scales and crusts. Resinol
Soap is suggested because it con-
tains no excess of free alkali, and
is especially suited to tender skin.
Dry by patting with a soft cloth
do not rub.
Doctors recommend an oily oint-
ment because it penetrates the out
cr layers of the skin more effec-
lively. Resinol Ointment meets this
requirement, and does even more.
For over 40 years it has been-and
still is-successfully used to relieve
quickly the itching and burning of
eczema. 1t contains soothing in
gradients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today and
enjoy comfort tomorrow. Get jar,
also cake of Resinol Soap, at any
drug store. For free sample, write
to Resinol. Dept NM, BALTIC, Md.

WOMEN HEAR
LAW DEAN

Entrance of women into former
masculine fields such as the study
of law, helped them to aid social
welfare work. but has also resulted
in too much Imitation of men, "
Charles Pergler, dean of the Ma

local members of the Women'S Bar
Association last night.
At the first fall banquet of the
organization, held in Wesley Hall,
Dean Pergler declared:
Social service work would
never have been undertaken by
men except in cOld-blOOded
way"
He cited the difference between
women lawyers who quietly help
clients in their offices and dra-
matte courtroom orationS of many
other members of the bar. He
warned women against seeking too
much equality" however, and ex-
planned
at is a great pity If, in their
quest for equality, they lose

URGED
IN BUILDING HOUSE
Careful Study of Proper
Construction Methods
Is Recommended.

The more a home -oWner-to-be
knows about sturdy construction, the
better are his chances of avoiding
jerry building and the pitfalls of in
ferior construction.
This is the opinion OF P. A. An
drews, vice president of JohnS-Man-
vile, who has recently set forth the
following five basic points that should
be observed by every person who Is
going to build house.
l. Learn as much as possible about
the fundamentals of construction.
knowledge of good building practices
will aid in discussion of the house
with the architect and builder and
in understanding the various steps In
erecting it.
2. Good design and efficient PLAN
ming, which eliminate poor arrange
ment and unattractiveness, keep WE'LL
built houses from becoming liabili-
ties. An architect is not as expensive
as many people think, and his services
will prove many times more valuable
than his fee.
F. H. A. Plan Recommended.
8. Sensible financing, such as the
amortized mortgage plan of the Fed
eral Housing Administration, makes
it simple to own a house outright
after a period of years. Banks and
building and loan institutions can
provide information and advice on
this phase.
f. Reputable building materials can
ENSURE" a trouble-free home. Local
dealers are best equipped to give in
formation about materials made by
responsible manufacturers which will
make a home the last word in safety,
| comfort, convenience, and economy.
S. Competent workmanship is Wit
ally important. Careless or slipshod
methods can ruin the best plans and
materials. A prospective home owner
should secure a reliable builder-the
materials dealer will know several
with reputation for honest, thorough
work.
Sturdy Construction Necessary.
"Solid-wall construction and sturdy
foundations and enduring roofs are
the backbone Of a permanent house."
Andrews stated. Materials recently
developed after years of research now
make easy the type of construction
at average costs-previously avail
able only in the most expensive houses.
The well-built house of today is
triple insulated against fire, weather.
and wear"
The building expert also pointed out
other construction details which
should be observed. Foundation walls
must both support the house and keep
the basement dry. The foundation
footings should be wide and fiat, with
sharp corners, resting in firm soil and
should have tile drains. Foundation
walls should be damp p-proofed in an
accepted manner.
Interior plaster which will not crack
or fall is another important point in
sound construction and one which will
protect the homeowner from physical
injury and his pocketbook from un-
due expense.

PATENT IS SOUGHT
FOR ROW" HOUSES
Improved Lighting Features
Claimed for New Type
of Structure.

Application has been filed with the
limited States Patent Office by j. B
Shapiro, president Of Shapiro Con-
struction Corp, for patent on new
tvpe of row house invented by him
which he says embodies features when
heretofore have been found only IN
detached and semi houses.
Shapiro's idea increases the ex-
posure and window space in row
houses, thereby providing more ngh.
and air. Under the plan front courI
Is allotted each pair of houses In d
row. thus furnishing window space 10
inside rooms. Living rooms ana MASTER
bed rooms above have two exposures
instead of the one possessed by con-
ventional dwellings of the type. These
court windows are staggered to pro-
vide privacy. Light and air also Is
provided the Easements by the courts.
Built i'm Plan Of an a."
The idea is this: Each house is
built within the limitations OF the lot
lines in the plan of an a." having
the short legs of adjacent houses ex-
tending across the widths of the re-
spective lots and facing toward each
other, while the long legs of the Il"
of the houses extend forwardly thereof
toward the front of the row house
construction, thereby forming the
court.
Shapiro already has put his idea
into practice and has erected group
of seven houses in the 1700 block OF
Hobart street.
Further explanation of the idea
may be obtained from the following
excerpt from the patent application:
"A walk extends from the pavement
TO each house and extends to an entry
porch. This entry porch on Level
with the first floor communicates
with a hall or foyer between the living
room and dining room. The back OF
the house is composed Of a library
and kitchen.
Room Has Two Exposures.
"By this arrangement the living
room has two exposures to the OUT
doors through the medlGm Oh lAe
windows, which face toward the front
of the house and the open areaWay
opening to the porch at the front ol
the house. The hall has an outooof
exposure at the doorway. The room
Immediately back of the hall Is the
dining room, and has an exposure TO-
ward the front of the house at tne
open areaway through one or more
windows. The library and kitchen al
the rear of the house enjoy outdoor
exposures through one or more win
dows facing the rear of the house.
THE second floor, reached by means
of a stairway from the center hail. Is
arranged to have room at the front
of the house (master bed room), two
bed rooms at the rear of the house
and a bed room directly between the
front and back bed rooms. These
rooms all have outdoor exposures in
q manner similar to the first floor
rooms.
"The windows facing the areaway
or court of one house are staggered
with respect to the windows of the
facing house, hence q direct line OF
sight between adjacent houses across
the court is prevented and greater
degree of privacy in the individual
houses is assured"
