Macdonald advises. the burning of leaves and rubbish should be done on ones own property and even then should not be'attempted except in calm weather and unless some one is on hand to watch over the fire until 1t has completely died out. All bonfires should be extinguished beyond any point of doubt with water or sand, thus preventing any danger of a later outbreak.
 Throughout the summer, the highway department has been talk ing precautions against the fall months with their falling leaves and dying vegetation. The shoulders along every highway right of way have been cleared to the greatest extent possible by cutting down all underbrush and removing debris of all descriptions. This affords con- siderable protection against out breaks of fire, but it is obviously im- possible for the highway crews to keep pace with the falling leaves. Cooperation on the part of the pub- lie, however, will avert damage from this source, the commissioner de- clareS,

Falling Leaves Held
 As Serious Menace
BOnfres Endanger Property, Slippery Roads JeOpar
 dize Lives Caution Urged By Commissioner

With the season at hand when falling leaves will be piling up along the state roads, Highway Connis- sioner John A. Macdonald today problem of destroying these leaves. These were, first, that property and, second, that bonfires not be left un- guarded and that they be properly extinguished before leaving them, so that the danger of forest fires may be avoided.
 Still another caution from the commissioner concerning fallen leaves was that the leaves in cornbi- ] nation with wet pavement create ideal conditions for skidding. To avoid accident, drive carefully, he said.
 Be Careful
 Commissioner Macdonald also suggested that motorists should avoid throwing lighted cigarette or cigar stubs into the dried leaves which have piled up along the lligh- ways, since there is no way in which forest fires can be more readily started.
 Property owners are in a position to save their state money in the re- pair of highway pavements by re-

framing from building bonfires of l leaves or other materials on the pavements. This is especially true of the numerous bitliniinous pave ments, since bonfires built upon lltem cause oxidation of the mate- rial used in their construction and this soon results in complete disir1- tegration and crumbling of the pavement. This condition is not only costly to repair, but is also likely to be the direct cause of mo- tor vehicle accidents.
 There is great danger in the burn ing of dead leaves and brush on or near freshly oiled shoulders or dirt roads, since the oil may readily ignite and spread the blaze over a large area, inflicting serious dam age to buildings along the road. It should be remembered, also, that when fires are built close to the highways their smoke flinders the motorists vision of the road ahead and thus creates an accident haz- ard which may result in serious in- juries and even death, the commits Sioner warned.

:-: Political Gossip :-:

Smith, all of this city, were among the democratic chieftains who gathered yesterday in Hartford to map out campaign plans. Chair man Smith contends that rallies outings and other such gather ings are intellectual" early in any campaign. Such events are more effective in October and those held previously are apt to be waste motion" he claims.
 Republicans of the 17th sena- torial district have renominated State Senator Henry w. Bradley, IT,, for another term. For a while it was rumored that the g. o. p. moguls would refuse to grant Bradley renomination but differ ences were patched up. The Derby senator is no relation to Senator J. Kennedy Bradley of Westport, 2. Q. D. leader of the senate in the 1885 session. He is a lover of world travel
 
 The publicity bureau of na- tional republican headquarters have accepted a poem written by Mrs. Ethel Hobard Oxley of Southington entitled Spending Spree" Mrs. Oxley is a widow, drug store proprietor, town com- mittee vice-chairman, poet and 8 human dynamo" in the wo- mems division of the republican state headquarters in Hartford. Her poem is IS stanzas long.
 In the opinion of Miss Julia H. Doyle of Enfield, former member of the state legislature, Governor Wilbur L. Cross is "the friend of the teacher and the student. Miss Doyle is a former school teacher. She served in the house during the 1883 session of the legislature and served on the important com mittce on education.
 Another woman member of the house has come to the front also. She is Attorney J. Agnes Burns, who is now completing her sec- ond term in the lower branch of the legislature. Miss Burns has been named Connecticut chairman of the National Pro- Roosevelt as- sociation of Women Lawyers. Miss Adele I. Springer is the national director. Attorney Burns is presi- dent of the Hartford college of Law Alumni association.

Judge Claude V. Badger of Vol colt Is expected to seek renomina- tion as state representative now that he has failed to land the g. o. D. senatorial nomination in the 14th district. This means that Town Chairman Martin J. Whelan

will most certainly withdraw from the race and there is also pos Sibility that Henry Norton, an- other mentioned for the house nomination, will do the same. Had Badger landed the senatorial nomination there would have been a bitter fight between Whalen and Norton for the nomination of representative.
 Representative Clarence F. Baldwin of Woodbridge was chos- en for the senatorial nomination by the republicans of the 14th district yesterday. He received 9l6 votes at the convention, held in Cheshire, two more thai necessary to give him the M6min- atoin. Louis E. Guy0tt of Mill ford was runnerup with six votes. Badger had only four votes.
 Wolcott is one of the few towns ' in the state that has only one representa- in the legislature. Practically all others have two. Ever since the town was founded 1t has been allowed only a lone seat in the lower branch of the general assembly. Badger is now completing his second term in the house.
 Wallingford will hold it's bor- Ough election on Monday. The democratic ranks have been split in the borough but attest reports are that differences have been patched up between the New Deal club and the "insurgent" candi- dates who won places on the ticket at the party caucus three weeks ago by defeating the town committees regular" nominees. Judges William F. Wrynn and John E. DOwney have done much, 1t is understood, to restore har- mony.
 As predicted the democrats of Milford have selected Frank M. Mccarthy as their town chairman. The town committee has endorsed Warren A. Field and Hans F. zwiebel for the nominations of { representatives. Edward J. Maher, who sought the democra- tim nomination for congress in the third district has resigned from the town committee.
