NAUGATUCK wm j. Baxter. Correspondent Naugatuck ss4S

Naugatuck, July 28.-The local street department has started work of reSurfacing Cherry street from the point where Scott and Cherry street intersect south to the Spen- cer intersection.
 A steam shovel is at work there now and Is expected to complete digging up the street within few days. A gravel surface will be placed there and this will be oiled, It is expected this will place the street in much better condition. The foundation of the street was never too good and in the spring the road has been in bad condition.
 It Is believed the new surfacing will make auto travel there much better in the future. The work is not expected to take long.
 Street department officials are considering usirlg finely-ground stne on some streets that need resurfac- ing here. This has been used in Beacon Falls apparently with good results.
 It is probable 1t will be used as an experiment here in the near fu- ture. It is believed the ground stone will produce more permanent benefits than just graval.
 Case Continued
 The case of Julius Sulitzky of l6l School street who was arrested on a charge of non-support, was con- tinued otday until next Wednesday. It was charged Sulitzky is not contributing to the support of his son, Frank, who is in state insti- tuition.
 Sulitzky told the court he is not earning sufficient money to pay to the support of his son. The case was continued in order to allow io- cal officials to see if an agreement can be reached with the family of MT. Sulitzky.
 He was arrested last night by Pa- trolman James Fenton.

GENERAL MOTORS
 MAY RAISE PRICE

New York, July 2s.-(UP).- Higher production costs due to un- authorized strikes may force Gen. eral Motors to increase the selling prices of its automobiles, the cor- poration said today. ts.
 According to the earning report for the second quarter of 1887, the corporations earnings declined $22,- 377, 7,272 compared to a similar per- iod last year.
 Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., chairman of the board, ascribed the loss to the inability of union leadership to control their own followers" He said that 6 trend toward rapidly increas- ing costs must of necessity reflect itself in the form of a substantial increase in selling prices"
 Sloan listed net income for the period at S65,73i, 100 compared to s00, ,i08,3T2 for the same period of 1886. Net sales rose 7.SS per cent tc $500, ,4l2.84s compared to $446,ii4,- 437.
 He said the decline was due tc higher costs incurred without corre- spending increases in selling prices and without the ability to. offset such higher prices with Q propor- tional increase in volumne of sales

Granaries Proposed
 ToOvercomeP Problem
Idea Suggested in Great Britain to Meet Needs of
 Feeding Country in Event of War

London (UP)-A proposal to con. struct huge granaries in various parts of Great Britain and store in them thousands of tons of Canadian grain now kept in Canada has been made with a view to overcoming the problem of feeding the country in the event of war.
 The proposal arises from the presence in England of the Royal Grain Inquiry Commission here to find ways of improving the exports of wheat from Canada to England. The subject will be dis cussed between representatives of the two countries at an early date.
 It seems an obvious thing to do, but there have been difncul- ties. A suggestion made long ago was that Britain should buy the Canadian wheat surplus and store 1t in England. The objection to this proposal was that such a large-scale purchase of wheat would send the price of grain soaring to an uneconomic level and might cause serious dislocation.
 To Belong to Canada
 The new proposal eliminates this danger. The wheat would merely be transferred to storage in England, and would remain Cana dian property. The stores would be used to i'll orders from British nillers.
 In time of war Britain, of course, would be able to take over the entire stocks and ration grain distribution. As far as Canada is

olution in food merchandising had begun, leading to our standards of today.
 Most of the products now sold in the grocery store are in packages identified by name, and your favorite brands are nearly all advertised. When housewife names the brand of an advertised food item to her grocer, she does not wonder if the quality will be the same as when she bought the same article the week be- fore. She takes that for granted, and no wise manufacturer would risk losing her patronage by disappointing her.
 National advertising of foods has led to greater variety, for it enabled manu- lecturers to interest consumers in new dishes and to create a demand for foods previously unknown to the American table. Not only many new food products but scores of old products in new form have become common part of our diet.
 Informative advertising has helped to teach us more healthful eating habits. It gives the housewife information on mat ters of nutrition, vitamins, and calories, and has placed millions of recipe booklets in American homes.
 Consumer goodwill is the most impor- tant asset any manufacturer can possess. He may retain this goodwill only by ad- vertising honestly and by putting value behind his trademark. For once house. wife finds quality to be lacking in his products, the manufacturers advertising only makes it easier for her to avoid them in the future. Thus good advertising is a sentinel guarding the quality of the na- tion's food.

day of next week, August 5 and 6.
 The street department workers are very busy on other projects at pres ent but by next week they will be able to handle the collections, MT. Brophy explained. He added refuse should not be placed on walks in front of homes until the definite time for the collection is announced.
 New Figure Estimated
 According to a compilation by the Price and Lee company, Naugatuck has a population of 18,480, consider ably higher than the l4,3l5 figure given the town in the official U. S. census held here in 1890.
 The Price and Lee company con- piles the directory used in this sec- ton and gets it's estimate by listing 9,240 names and using the ratio of two to one which they estimate is a fair basis.
 It is difficult to obtain both busi- ness and residential properties here. Although many houses have been erected here in the past two years, the housing shortage is still acute and rents are high.
 The total of 18,240 is interesting and probably much nearer the exact mark than the last official census figures would be today. There has been a large increase in population here in the past seven years, which is not reflected in the 1880 census figures.

Resurfacing of Cherry Street Started l

MOOD served to American fam flies today is more varied and
 of higher quality than ever be- fore. The modern housewife sets far better table with much less out put of time and energy than her grand mother dreamed possible. The improve ment is due probably just as much to the way food is sold as to new developments in food manufacture. Advertising and modern merchandising have played an important part.
 Not many years ago the housewife spent most of her days drudging over a sizzling stove. There was the baking to do and preserves to be put up, in addition to the job of manufacturing three heavy meals day. And when she wasn't labor ing in the kitchen, grandmother was do- ing her marketing in store, among open cracker barrels and open bins of tea, cof- rec, rice and corn-meal, which stood near the onion barrels and kerosene cans.
 If grandmother found arduous the task of feeding her family, still more difficult was it for her to be sure of the quality of the food she served. Bulk goods of uncer- tain origin and association were con- stant menace to the family health.
 At the beginning of this century, crack CTS were put into boxes for the first time. Since then many other food items have been promoted from the unsanitary bar rels and bins to sealed packages, cans, and bottles. These containers enabled the manufacturer to put his label on his prod ucts and thus identify them in every store. And when he took the next step of adver- Using these trade-marked goods, the rev.

1 concerned the only effect would be to transfer its stocks to . point more convenient for distribution.
 It is proposed that the dominion should bear part of the cost of the construction of the granaries.
 At present only a few weeks food supplies can be stored in Britain, and 1t is generally ad. mitted that . store equal to many months supply is desirable to avoid 6 retption of the con- ditions in the last war, when Brit. aims food supplies dwindled at times alarmingly and had to be imported at great cost and enor- nous risk.
 Imports S Million Tons
 Annual consumption of wheat in this country is about 7,000, 900 tons. Last year Britain imported 5000, 900 tons, more than half of which came from Canada. Latest estimates place the Canadian sur. plus this year at about 1000, 900 tons, though there are reports that this figure may prove far too high.
 The question of food supplies is one of the most dificult and vital facing the government. A special subcommittee of the com mittee of imperial defense was set up last year to deal with food supplies in wartime, and a new department of the board of trade known as the food defense plnas departmenft recently has been formed. Another committee is charged with the task of increasing Britains own agrcultural produc- ton.
