American Red Cross
 Praises Ordinance
Mrs. Edith Ladd, Local Executive, Voices Opinion of
 Restriction on Fireworks Locally

Referring to a report from na. tlonal headquarters she pointed out that there were 4,044 Americans killed during the Revolutionary war and 4,2o0 persons killed as a result of fireworks In this country during the past thirty years. Tn addition to this there have been no less than oe,000 young Americans injured dur. ing the past thirty years while celebrating. Last year there were thirty persons killed and more than seven thousand injured.
 Excellent Work
 Tn view of tha above facts there is no doubt but that the city has done an excellent thing in support. ting measures which prohibit the sale of fireworks, other than for public display within the municipal limits,
 Discussing the problem of acci- dents other than those which are the direct result of fireworks, such as automobile accidents and cases of drowning, Mrs. Ladd stated that the local unit was working on plans for setting up first aid roadside sta- tions in Wolcott, Thomaston, Wood- bury and Prospect. The difflculty in connection with establishing sta. tions ct certain strategic points in these towns, according to the in. formation released today, Is one of personnel. The Wolcott fire depart Inent, for instance, Is c well trained flrst.aid group but the fire station is not located ct Q point where many auto accidents are likely to occur. Tn Prospect the intersection at the center seems the logical point to establish . station and ct the present time c survey is being conducted at local headquarters in order to find persons who live ct 6 reasonable distance from that point to register for c flrst.aid course.
 Southbury station
 About three weeks ago, under the supervision of the local Red Cross unit, Q station was set up in South. bury with nine persons in the neighborhood listed as qualified first.aid attendants, It is the hope of the local offlce to establish the four above mentioned ct stategic points in the near future.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-03

Mrs. Edith E, LAdd, executive secretary of the local Red Cross unit, stated this morning that the Red Gross heartily endorses the rec strictlons placed on fireworks here in the city over the Fourth of July weekend. The local Red Gross head released some interesting figures In connection with fatalities which have been the direct result of what is more popularly. regarded as "cele- bratlng."

Pearls for Decorations

Since the dawn of history, pearls
have been a source of joy and Won
der to the human race, writes La
Place Bostwick in Nature Magazine.
They were found in the tombs of the
Egyptians; in the burial-places of
some Indian tribes of the Southeast,
and in the mounds of the mound
builders. A thousand years ago
they were used for decorative pur-
poses in Japan, and large abalone
pearls are found in images of Bud
dha made in the year 800.

fastened with silver Grecian
clasp. The prestige of capes in
the evening mode is noted, and
knowing style creators declare
they will continue to play their
triumphant role as the new season
comes on. The word that fashion
is reviving the use of ostrich is
confirmed in the opulent banding
of white South African ostrich
feathers that embellish this cape.
Not only, according to indications,
will ostrich appear on hats but a
lavish use will be made of it for
costume accessories and other
adornment.
In fact the trend for fall and
winter apparel for the social sea-
son is toward superbly rich effects
in every direction, especially in
the new silks and metal weaves
of classic tone. Jewelled and
beaded embroidery will glitter on
crepes and other gorgeous silks.
The newest gesture is handpaint-
ing done in silver and gold and
bronze, borrowing ideas for motifs
from Chinese, Persian, Egyptian
and other Far East art sources.
A theme of absorbing interest is
the new gowns fashioned of black
satin for dinner and evening wear.
They are in decided contrast to
the fluffy ruffles type of shimmery
and sheer frocks. The idea is to
make them up classically simple.
OF course, the satin must be of
sterling pure silk weave to sue
cessfully sound the luxury note. A
favorite styling is similar to that
of the flowery silk mousseline
gown just described as being cut
along princess lines that assume
a wide flare at the hemline with
the neckline emphasizing the very
new square cut. With these satin
gowns most glamorous bracelets,
rings and clips are worn, withhold
ing characterization of any other
sort. If you would be first in
fashion" black satin dress of
this type will assure you this COW
eted distinction.

FEATHERS IN YOUR
HAT THIS AUTUMN

Now comes word about fall hats.
Higher crowns and off the face
lines in brimmed style are being
shown. One advance model devel-
oped in black leghorn for late sum-
mer, and in velvet for fall, has a
turned-up brim, cleverly slit at the
back and trimmed with a dark
gray ostrich feather.
Feathers are coming into the
conversation, too and how they
Will increase our VocabularieS!
Our plumage, it seems, is to be
one of our most important autumn
features. Well be using the term
"Coq feathers" again, and go

feathers of rooster, and the lat

goose. There are palette" and
"Satinette" and lot more to learn
with the new season, along with
the fact that we'll be formalized
by ostrich plumes.

The SaltOn Sea

The Salton sea or sink, a de-
preston 280 feet below sea level,
is located in the desert in the ex-
IRENE southern part of California.
1t is one of the numerous salt
lakes or lake beds in that part of
the country, but it has had more
unusual history than most of them.
Its salty sands usually absorb all
the waters fed it by few small
creeks, but there are periods when
they do not In 1891 it became a
lake, which soon dried up. The
lake began to form again in 1893.
In 1905 some of the waters of the
Colorado river were diverted into
it, as apparently they had been in
the past, and it rose to its fullest
size. In July, 1907, the break in
the river was closed and the sea
again became desert.

a NEW party dress this time of
"A year brings two fold joy.

when midseason dances and din

new glamor in new environment.
Wherefore, it would reason out
that a party dress bought now is
not an extravaganza but an econo-
my since it provides not only for
the present, but for the future as
well.
The gowns pictured have smart
features that are scheduled to carry

A pet dog couldn't be more at
your beck and call. The system
solves the whole question of trans
portation throughout the city. For
long distance trips, motor fares are
comparatively low, yet there are
some who have no hesitation about
using ricks up to fifteen miles, or
thirty miles round trip.
The average daily mileage of a
ricksha boy is about twelve, rang
ing in special cases up to fifteen a
day for all seasons except during
snow fall, brief in this latitude, and
hard on the ricksha boys, many of
whom are unable to buy blankets
with which to keep out the chill
after long lope. 1t is estimated
that fifteen years is about the aver
age life of a two-wheel hauler, but
there is no scarcity of men who
are easily in the sixties. The ma
jority of them are under twenty
five, from that down to eighteen. 1t
is easy to distinguish the country
from the city ricksha pullers. The
former put on less style, take
longer stride and think nothing of

town and country; round trip, tip

headstone with this inscription:
"Here Lies the Body of Boatswain
Allen Whose Body Was Lost at
Sea-" The explanation for this par
adoxical statement is this: Boat
swain Aliens body really was lost
at sea. When his relatives COM
missioned a headstone-raker to
prepare memorial shaft for the
vanished seaman, he began it
Here Lies the Body" because he
always began the inscriptions on
headstones thus and didn't know
any other way. So they just let him
go ahead,
A somewhat similar situation is
reported by an American traveller
abroad who cleaned this epitaph
from a headstone in an English
cemetery:
Beneath these cold and silent stones
Lie the remains of Samuel Jones.
His name was really Smith. not Jones,
But we changed his name to rhyme
with stones.
No such difficulty, however, was
experienced by the man who en-
graved an epitaph for a former
slave who is buried near Savannah,
Ga. 1t says:
Here lies old Rastus Somminy
Died a-eating hominy
In 80 ammo domini
But A. D. gets a different inter-
probation in this epitaph, found in
Connecticut graveyard, even
though the second rhyme is a bit
lame:
Here lies cut down like unripe fruit

of light weight wool. Light in
weight but warm enough for cool
ish days, the sheer wool used to
make this beautifully tailored two
piece frock makes it equally ac-
ceptable for business, campus or
spectator sports wear. A two-color

high round collar. The front clos
