For Lieutenant Governor

For ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS will be made up so as to assure the nomination of Lavery. For a time 1t was feared that geo. graphical conditions might force the state solons to look around for somebody else for the post but, 1t has been learned on good authority, the Fairfield man has been told he will receive the sec ond place on the ticket come what may.
 Ex-Senator Lavery is Q member, of the state publicity commission and is president of the C0nnec- ticut Chamber of Commerce. He is head of the Bridgeport Hydrau. lic company. He has always been an active republican and is con- sidered one of the best vOte-get- ters the republicans have to look to this year.
 Hackers of States Attorney Hugh Alcorn for the 6. o. p. gub- ernatoyial nomination have ts- sued Q statement in Hartford that they are sure they have enough votes to stop the boom for States Attorney Arthur M. Brown of Jewett City. The latter is the favorite to win the nomination at this time but the Alcorn leaders are hinting that they have some thing ID their sleeves that will surprise the Brown organization when the convention takes place.
 Deputy State Controller John M. Dove of Danielson seems to have the inside track at the pres- ent time in the race for the demo- cratic congressional nomination in the second district. Ills strong est opponent is state Deputy La- bor Commissioner William y. Fltxgerald of Norwich who has the backing of the N. U. s. J. Dowe's packers are insisting that Central Committeeman Jack Conway continue his present policy of hands off" in the race.
 John B. Dillon, clerk of the Shelton probate court, is said to be out after the probate judge- ship nomination on the republi- can ticket. The incumbent, . democrat, Is Judge John Donovan. After the latter was elected he gave Dillon the clerkship ale though the latter is Q republican. Now 1t is said Dillon is quietly working to get a chance to op- pose Donovan this year for the place ct the head of Sheltons probate court.
 John J. Godfrey of Hartford Is making strong bid for election t0 congress on the Union party ticket in the first district. He Is . staunch N. U. S. J. One of his supporters, incidentally, ls Louis A, Perry, brother and business partner of Democratic Town Chairman Ernest Q. Perry of Hartford. He predicts that Wal- ter E. Patterson, the 6. .. D, can- dIdate, and Congressman Herman r. KoppIeman, the democratic inc cumbent, will be s'snowed under.

He is . familiar figure in the corridors of the state capitol where he does much lobbying on behalf of labor.
 New Haven's democratic mayor, John J. Murphy, is reported as preparing to give the city employees five per cent more of their pay cut back. The pay of the muni- clpal employees was slaShed 20 per cent in 1S32. Five per cent of the cut has been returned since so the new addition will leave the employees still 10 per cent under their pay rate prior to 10S2.
 Mayor Adam Roth of panbury is noted for his ability to explain himself out of Q political diff culty in Q most graceful manner. Lately he was asserting his inten- ton to capture the E. 0. D. sena- torial nomination in his district, But the powers higher up told him to stick to his inayoralty duties because Speaker William Hanna of Bethel had been decided on. "Why, I was never seriously seek ing the senatorial nomination, D is Mayor Roth's nice little way of snapping into line.
 Representative Chauncey E. Hutchlngs of Harwinton informs The Democrat that he Is not seeking the z. 0. ?. congressional nomination In the fifth district. He is not saying who hell sup- port at the convention. There are four very determined candidate in Ire race for the nomination. They are Town Chairman J. War; rem Upson of this city, Rep sentative ,.

National Monument, also in California
are brought within easily negotiable
access by the construction of the
Lone Pine-Mount Whitney road, ac-
cording to an announcement by Arno
B. Cammerer, director of the National
Park Service. The road scales approx
imately $500 feet of Mount Whitney's
total height of 14,495.
Cammerer explained that the Forest
Service has decided against extending
the Lone Pine-Mount Whitney road
beyond its present terminus, Whitney
Portal, formerly known as Hunters
Flat. Mount Whitney Is on the east
ern boundry of Sequoia National Park,
the line practically touching the crest;
hence, the eastern slope is in the ad-
joining Inyo National Forest.
Travel bureaus are already predict
ing that the road will become one of
the most popular on the North Amer
ican continent, because OF its unique
distinction as highway designed to
display the scenery of the United
States from top to bottom"

SOvIET'S BUILDING
CONTRASTED TO U. S.
Russian Regulations Affecting
Workers Are Cited by
W. K. Smith.

Calling attention to the regulations
of Russian decree issued early this
year affecting workers in the building
trades and published in the Monthly
Labor Review Of the United States
Department Of Labor, Willard K
Smith, editor of the monthly bulletin
OF the Building Trades Employers As
sociation, says that the rules present
q sharp contrast to the American
system.
The Russian decree, he points out,
holds that the high cost Of building
in that country Is due to the inability
to profit by experience, insufficient
utilization of mechanical devices,
backwardness Of the labor forces, and
other difficulties, and proceeds to
remedy it by requiring a general in
crease in the productivity Of labor.
I'm this country" Smith said, Gov
eminent housing costs are very high.
Labor productivity is low. There is
. complete lack of profit by experience.
However, when the Government has
complete control of labor it Is able
to remedy such situations, as has been
done in Russia by making the work.
man suffer servere penalties If he
does not increase his productivity.
In the Russian decree building
mechanics are divided into several
wage classes, with the wage of the
highest class three times that of the
lowest. Bonuses are provided for
those whose output exceeds the
standard. Building masters and fore
men are also divided into grades with
set salaries as well as engineering and
technical employees

much more readily when the plants
are in the open. Mildew may be con-
trolled by busting with sulphur or cop
per lime dust, provided this treatment
is begun early in the Spring and car
ried along regularly at about weekly
intervals until Towering.
Phlox varieties show differences in
natural resistance to mildew, and pre-
sumably this is the opening through
which the gardener will gain, ulti-
mately, control of the mildew Or
ganisms. The new variety. Columbia,
is said to be resistant to the fungus.
Perennial phlox may be divided and
replanted as soon as the tops have
matured in September, and the reset
plants will make some new roots before
real freezing occurs. These Fall-set
plants are more likely to produce good
strong Towering stems the next year.
The Concord Grape.
Undoubtedly the most popular
home-garden grape, the Concord, has
held this distinction for a great many
years, oSSpltS IIiC doNCht VI NdA4OoS
newer kinds. A combination Of sew
eral sterling qualities makes for this
supremacy, namely. strong growing
capacity, good quality Of the fruit and
value for several purposes, including
eating fresh out Of hand, for pre-
serving and for making juice.
Strangely enough, the Concord first
came into being as q chance seeding,
meaning that its parentage is un-
known, although fruit growers believe
it Is mostly of American stock, with
possibly trace of European. The
ability of the Concord to survive the
very low temperatures of the last two
or three years, when varieties of half
or even one quarter European stock
succumbed, indicates a preponderance
of native American blood.
The Concord grape can be brought
into fruiting the second season in
the garden if, during the first year.
the strongest cane is trained to a stake
and the soil cultivated and fertilized
so as to promote strong growth. BY
the third year, the plants may be
producing substantial crops. Grapes
are, as the home gardener soon learns,
produced on new shoots growing from
buds on the preceding years wood.
If one cuts away all the young wood
during pruning there would be no fruit
that year.
The Concord grape bears its best
quality fruit when the number of
clusters is limited. This Is generally
accomplished by pruning, but may be
also attained by thinning out the
clusters when small. The finest fruit
Is produced by healthy, vigorous vines,
and this means spraying with bor-
deaux mixture two or three times dur
ing the season. If arSenate of lead Is
added and the sprays timed properly,
the berry moth can also be checked.
However, the Concord grape does fair
ly well without any care except prun-
ing and cultivation.
Legumes are valuable in agriculture
because Of the fact that, by virtue Of
bacteria that live on their roots, they

are able to utilize nitrogen Of the air.
1t is strange situation that, with this
exception, no plants are able to tap the
vast quantities Of nitrogen that are
contained in the air. Very fortunately
there are large number of legumes,
ranging all the way from vines to trees.
The home gardener is interested in
legumes chiefly as means of building
up the fertility of the soil. He has
available for this purpose crimson
clover, cowpeaS, Soybeans and the gar.
den beans and peas. The difficulty with
growing legumes in the small garden is
not doubt Of their value, but the lack
Of available space. With only a limited
area, rather naturally, the gardener is
anxious to keep every square foot busy
with flowers or vegetables. Crimson
clover fits into the garden program,
better than any other legume, as it can
be sown in September and will endure
the Winter. Starting its growth again
early in Spring, crimson clover makes
substantial growth by the time the gar
den needs spading. 1t may not be pos
sible to devote the entire space to cover
crops each year. but it is often practi-
cal to rotate sections of the garden so
that legumes can be turned under every
two or three years. Some of our most
successful home gardeners base their
success on legumes and on Winter rye.
which, although not legume, is an ef-
f1cient manufacturer Of organic matter.
Portulacas.
One Of the showiest ANIMALS, this
plant Is so fond Of full sunlight that it
Is sometimes known as the sun plant.
Perhaps one reason why portulacas
are grown so little in the Washing
ton area Is that the species Is pecu-
liarly well adapted to sandy soils and
much Of the local soil is heavy clay.
The colors, ping, red, yellow and
white, are most intense when exposed
to all the possible sunlight. Portulaca
Is excellent for massing in beds and
for low edgings along paths or in front
Of taller plants. The maximum height
is about 8 inches. The seed should be
sown directly in the beds along in
late May when the soil has warmed up
nicely. There are both double and
singled lowered forms with little to
favor the doubles except their nov
city.
Among the several species Of f1ow-
ers bearing the name lily, but still not
Evening star., 1936-08-29

true lilies Is the Funkia or Plantain
lily. There are many local paintings
generally consisting of only few
plants placed along the base of the
house or along the garden path. The
Funkia is desirable plant because of
easy culture, adaptability to full SUM-
light or partial shade and late season
of bloom. The thick, broad leaves are
attractive throughout the growing sea-
son. The colors are pure white. lilac
and deep blue.
The blooming bedding be-
gonias, such as Prima Donna and
White Queen, are beautiful home
garedn plants, living up to their name
by blooming continuously from time
Of setting out in Spring until frost.
They do well in full sunlight or par
tial shade and, when well supplied
with water and fertilizers, develop
dense plants of striking beauty. When
Autumn comes the plants may be
lifted and potted for use in the home
An edging row of Prima Donna be-
gonias is exceedingly attractive, and
one occasionally sees them used to,
advantage as porch box material.
Regal lily bulbs may be planted in
late Autumn or early Spring, perfer-
ably the former, as this gives the
bulbs an opportunity to become es-
tablished and ready for Spring
growth. The Regal lily blooms the
last week in June and follows very
nicely the Madonna. With the tiger,
these three species make a fine trio
of true lilies for the local home
gardens.
now-on-the- mountain Is q close
relative of the Christmas poinsettia.
Its attractiveness, like that Of the
poinsettia, lies entirely in the leaves,
which are veined and margined with
white. Because OF the exuding milky
juice, cut branches will keep better If
the ends are scared for q few seconds
in a flame before placement in water.
Snow on-the-mountain is an annual
and readily reseeds itself. 50 that it
may be seen in the same spot year
after year and gives the impression of
being perennial.
There Is another relative Of the poin-
settia, sometimes known as Mexican
fire plant, that is an annual. The
plants bear glossy green leaves which
in Midsummer become marked with
orange scarlet toward the tip Of the
plant.
Irises NAV be reset at any time dur
ing the entire growing season, although
late June is the best month for this
task. If possible, large divisions should
be used at this late season if much
Towering is expected next Spring. The
iris is q grand home garden plant,
easy to grow, highly resistant to ad-
verse conditions, such as drought and
high temperature, and . regular
bloomer each Spring.

CALLED D|MPORTANT
Reduction of Household
Labor Justifies Expense,
Bureau Declares.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, August 20. Modern
plumbing equipment makes housework
easier. For this reason alone, to say
nothing Of the beauty and style appeal
Of modern plumbing, the replacement
Of old-fashioned fixtures in the kitchen
and the bath room is justified. says the
Plumbing and Heating Industries
Bureau.
The handsome new plumbing fixtures
have no inaccessible or dirt-catching
corners. Their highly polished sur
faces require no tiresome securing or
polishing.
Modern sinks are scientifically
plannsd for efficiency in order to give
the housewife more leisure. DISH
washing time is cut in half. The
routine work of preparing meals at the
sink Is made more pleasant and agree
able.
Cabinet model sinks provide an
abundance of storage space at the point
where 1t Is most needed, thus saving
steps as well as time.
Unlike the tub legs, the built-in tub
which fits snugly on the floor and
against the wall offers no cleaning
problem. Furthermore, improvements
in enameling have given the modern
tub hard. luStrous surface which is
highly resistant to abrasion and easier
to clean.
Faucets, showerheads, escutcheons
and bath room accessories are plated
with chromium. Chromium is pre-
eminently the metal of a labor-saving
age. 1t requires no tiresome rubbing
with cleaning powoers, just an occa-
sional wiping with cloth.
The better lavatories are made of
Vitreous china, q material which pro-
vides sparkling, hard, smooth, and
Y1on-absorbent surface, as easy to clean
as china plate. China will not chip,
check or discolor.
Closets, too, are made of china. The
newer models made all in one piece are
smaller and more compact and thus
easier to clean. A large water surface
in the bowl provides complete SANTA
tion. Seats made of lustrous pyralin
are both decorative and easy to keep
clean.
Exposing piping in the bath room
and kitchen has been reduced to the
minimum. Whereas the old ld-fashioned
bath room had visible supply pipes to
the lavatory, tub and closet, in the
modern bath room as much of this
piping as possible is placed in the wall
where it offers no cleaning problem.
Modern laundry tubs provide cheer
and convenience for wash days. Made
Of china, enameled iron or compost
ton materials, they are non-porous
and non-absorbent. For further con-
venience of the housewife, some of the
newest laundry tubs are made with an
integral shelf and washboard, with
stainless steel rims, chromium plated
faucets and concealed piping.

EASIER TO GRASP
Expert Advise, However,
Important in Preparing
for Installation.

Much Of the once prevalent mystery
about air-conditioning has been dissi-
pated, and there is now a clearer gen.
eral understanding about not only the
equipment, but also about the many
factors relative to 1t.
The Summer cooling equipment
needed depends on the refrigerating
capacity which will be demanded.
This, in turn, depends on q variety of
factors which differ sharply in each
individual case. such as climate, expo
sure. radiant heat Of the sun, door
and window space. building materials,
insulation. amount Of heat generated
within the space by lights, appliances
or human beings, and several similar
considerations, all to be weighed and
balanced by the air conditioning engi-
neer in determining the specific job
to be done and the proper apparatus
to do 1t.
Equipment Capacity.
Careful consideration of all these
factors will enable the builder to keep
in hand the capacity of cooling equip
ment needed, ef1ecting a worthwhile
saving in original equipment cost and
as well-sustained economy of opera
ton.
The Pittsburgh Glass Institute finds
that the proper planning of windows
and other glass areas is an important
factor in the overall application of
air-conditioning. In several recent
outstanding air-conditioning installa-
tions the architects and builders, by
carefully relating all plans and ma
terials to the air-conditioning prob
lem at the outset, have been able to
assure maximum economy in both
initial and operating costs and maxi
mum efficiency of operation.
Important Elements.
Glazing is one of several important
elements to be considered. Since the
proper use Of glass and other mate
rials is instrumental in cutting down
at the start the amount of excess heat
which the cooling system must elm
mate, 1t is obviously wise to call on
the air-conditioning expert for his
advice at the very beginning.

Mirrors and Bookcases.

Bookcases built in the corner of a
small apartment are convenient and
require a small amount of space. If
they are topped with wide panels of
mirrors the effect is decorative as well
as pleasantly cool, and an impression
Of added size is given to the room.
Built-in mirrors and equipment are

HOSE BIBS DESIRABLE
Outside Connections Should Bs
Ample for All Needs

An often forgotten yet much-needed
convenience in the plumbing system
Of any home Is the hose connection
on the outside for garden hose at
tachment. These hose connections
are commonly known as hose bibs,
and an ample number should be pro-
vided. with due thought given to their
location, both as to the area they
will serve with normal length of
hose and their proximity to the other
elements Of the house water-piping
system. The architect and owner
should both keep the hose bibs in
mind as the construction progresses
in order to be assured Of their inclu-
sion in the plumbing system.

When mixing special paint colors,
