GLOVES PROMINENT
IN SPRING STYLES
By CHERIE NICHOLAS

Soft, oozey glace kidskin, that
makes the hands look long and slen-
der, is very much in fashion now.
The styles shown by Aris for formal
afternoon wear are exceedingly chic
and those marvellous 16-button eve
ming gloves in glace kid or suede
reach the nth degree of extrava-
gance.
Mokado, the superlative quality
French doeskin, is the supreme in
that leather. 1t is washable, which
accounts for its continued popular
ity. Nothing could be handsomer
than a pair of six or eight button
handsewn doeskin gloves. The
longer lengths, by the way, are
smarter this season than the short,
either in white, black or fetching
new colors.
While the plain, classic slipon re-
mains most acceptable, the cos
tune glove is more interesting and
more fun to wear. Then, there are
ali sorts of touches, such as hand
whipping, embroidery, stitching,
thong lacing and so on, that give
the new gloves distinction.

the right in the above picture.
Smart IN either black or navy is
the lightweight wool that styles this
distinctive spring model The skirt
is short and slim and the cutaway
jacket buttons up to a young"
rount collar. The short blouse is
of white satin. The pillbox hat with
jaunty quill and piquant face-veil
is decidedly chic.
Pastel blue wool kasha makes the
three-piece cape costume centered
in the group. Capes are very i'm
portant this season, emphasizing as
they do the softly tailored theme
A slightly fared skirt is topped by
a short-sleeved, front-buttoned jack
ct with body of jacket and sleeves
made in one piece, stitched into a
yoke. The matching cape with fit
ted shoulder ties at the hin under
the jacket collar.
It is to be expected that the
three-piece tailored ensemble to the
left be in the smart widely-exploit-
ed beige color, for as we said be-
fore beige is definitely "in" this
spring. With the jacket this very
lovely three-piece becomes a smart
suit, just such as will fit into the
Easter style program admirably.
Without the jacket you have Win
some light wool dress which will
come in perfectly for mild spring
days. The matching beige fur is
a smart detail for the fur trimmed
suit is conspicuously present in ad-
vance style displays. Note the off
face hat of Breton influence, for
this is the very latest for hat and
hairdress. The black doeskin gloves
and strap-handle bag SAY it, with
fashion emphasis.

HE calendar announces an ear
ly Easter. Supposing the wealth
er should happen to go tempera-
mental. Just merely supposing it
should by any chance happen to
cloud a bit, rain a bit, possibly
send down a snowflake or so, then.
oh then, comes that ever haunting
'What-to-wear" question.
And the answer? A practical, ul-
ira modish tailored wool outfit is
the logical answer if you want to
be ready for rain or shine Smart
ly, simply fashioned, it must be of
a swanky wool weave in latest ap-
proved color with fashion-right ac-
cesSories that add the final accent
of chic. The illustration pictures
what we are meaning to say. Per-
feet is this trio of "what-to-wears"
for Easter or for any spring day,
be it sunshiny or cloudy.
Before we describe in detail the
stunning tailleurs pictured we want
to say a word in regard to out
standing colors for spring. We are
going to talk mostly about black,
navy, beige, gray and the new pas
tells. Many best-dressed women are
selecting black cloth suits with
which they plan to wear frilly lin
gerie blouse or neckwear, adding
white doeskin gloves and a white
boutonniere. AS to navy, it's big
news for spring, navy wool twills
especially for the classic suit. And
there's beige! 1t, also, is staging
a most exciting comeback. In the
pastels you'll adore the new dusty
pinks," also various soft blues,
rusty" yellows and misty greens.
You will be hearing the express
sion softly tailored" frequently
this season because most suits have
lost their mannish lines and the
trend is to graceful, subtle silhou-
cites. Note, for example, the charm

"President for a Day"

a CITY in Kansas, a county in
"A Missouri and part of the name
of a great railway system bear his
name, but David R. Atchison is
best known in American history
as the man who, it has often been
asserted, was president for
day." A native of Kentucky who
emigrated to Missouri in 1880,
A Gibson was serving as a senator
from that state IN 1848 when Zach
ary Taylor was elected President to
succeed James K. Polk.
On March 3, 1849, Vice President
George M. Dallas, presiding officer
of the senate, announced 1.-The close
of my official term being near at
hand, 1 conform to an established
and convenient practice by with
drawing from the deliberations Of
this body" On the motion of Sem
ator Benton of Missouri, Senator
Atchison was then appointed presi-
dent pro tenn of the senate for the
remainder of that session of the
national congress.
March 4, the traditional Inaugural
ton day, fell on Sunday and the
President-elect not only had reli-
gious scruples about being inaug-
urated on the Sabbath but doubted
the legality of such e proceeding.
So the Inauguration ceremonies
we're set for Monday, March 5.
Friends of Atchison claimed that,
since President oolk's term ended
on March 3 and Taylor's did not
begin until March S, there was an
interim of one day in which the
senate was the only continuing gov
erning body. Since Atchison was
president pro tenn of the senate and
thereby acting vice president Dal-
las having resigned) he was also
acting President between the ad-
ministrations of Polk and Taylor,
i. e. president for a day"
Atchison himself never made any
such claim and declared that the Of
fee of President was vacant from
noon Saturday to noon Monday.
Asked once how he enjoyed his
short term in office he replied that
he really did not know because he
slept through most of it after an
exhausting last day session Of the
senate. Constitutional authorities
agree with Atchison in regard to the
vacancy existing in the office Of the
President on March 4, 1849, but one
edition of the biographical congress
sional directory credits Atchison
with being president for a day"
aad that legend still persists.

but we had no eyes to see them
at the time. We can laugh over
them and actually enjoy the re-
membranes of what were breath
taking events when they hap

No Age Limit.
Since life is so full of expert
ences some of which turn out fe-
licitously, and others not so sat
isfactorily, there must be a good
reason for our having to go
through the events. l remember
when l was a little girl and there
was something which, to me,
seemed very important to decide
rightly, how I envied grown-ups.
They always knew just what to
do! The fallacy of this assump-
ton we all know, but we do not
all appreciate how dull life would
be if it were true, and how de-
velopment would be retarded.
There is no age limit to the series
of experiences.
Learning by Experience.
The benefits of our life expert
ences come through our way of
taking them, and on our wisdom
of decisions when these require
our consideration. If we think Of
ourselves only we become selfish,
hard, and difficult. If we decide
with a larger vision of results, and
of the best good to others as well
as to ourselves, we become fine
and strong characters. By the eX-
ercise of good judgment and by
making the best of things we
learn to develop we'll by expert

UNCOMMON. .
AMERICANS.
By Elmo G Western
Scott Watson Union
Pathfinder of the Seas

LIE NEVER took part in battle
l. L but his name deserves rank
with those other American naval he
roes - Jones, Decatur, Lawrence,
Perry, Farragut and Dewey. His
career was perfect example of
the saying that peace hath it's
victories no less renowned than
war" For Matthew Fontaine Maury
was one of the greatest benefactors
of all those who sailed the seas in
his day and mariners still honor
his name today.
Born in Virginia in 1906, Maury
joined the navy as a midshipman
at the age of nineteen. During his
long voyages he became impressed
with the scanty information that
was available about prevailing winds
and ocean currents. Strangely
enough, an accident on land gave
him his opportunity to do something
about it. He was in a stagecoach
smash-up in Ohio which made him
a cripple for life.
AS a result, he was placed in
charge of the depot of charts and
instruments in Washington out of
which developed the photographic
office and the naval observatory.
Here he started collecting all avail
able information on the meteorolo-
gy of the ocean which he COM
piled from a great number of old
log books of naval vessels. The re-
suit was his first Wind and Current
Chart, issued in 1847.
About 5000 of these charts were
distributed to shipmasters, who
found them amazingly useful, short
ening voyages by days and weeks.
1T was as if a friendly wizard in
seven-league boots had suddenly ris-
en- out of the waves to lead mer-
chant vessels by the shortest and
quickest paths" So they were glad
to heed Maury's request to send
him the results of their observations
of winds and weather and he began
issuing more charts. Within a few
years 100000 copies of the charts
were being used by mariners Of all
nations and it was estimated that
the annual saving to the shipping
of one nation alone was $10,000,-
900.
The outbreak of the War Between
the States was tragedy for Maury
in more ways than one. Loyalty to
his native state forced him to re-
sign when Virginia seeded but, due
mainly to the jealousy of superior
officer, his usefulness to the Con-
federacy was hampered and his ca
reer in its service was not dis
tinguished one. After living for a
while in England, he returned to
America and to a professorship at
the Virginia Military institute where
he wrote a geography series which
is still in use. He died in 1873,
full of years and honors" and one
of the finest monuments in Rich
mond today perpetuateS the fame OF
this Pathfinder of the Seas"

Public Water Supply
 In Connecticut Good
Typhoid Fever Death Rate For Five Consecutive Years
 Less Than One of Each 100000 Residents

and by the decreasing death rates from typhoid fever in recent years. Back in the year 1900, the typhoid death rate in Connecticut was 5O.6 deaths per 100000 population. With the states present population, this rate would have brought between 300 and 900 deaths from the disease last year instead of its toll of any eight.
 Since borne diseases are caused by bacteria associated with wastes from the human body, every effort is made both to prevent such bacteria from coming into contact with the water in public supplies and supplies are derived from clean drainage areas. Periodic inspections of land draining into public water supply streams and reservoirs are made by water officials and sani- tary engineers of the state depart ment of health. Regular water analysis are made by the state ce- partment and by some local water departments and companies. Treat ment by filtration and chlorination to kill harmful bacteria is employed on all large water supplies and an increasing number of small sup plies. Constant check-ups are made on piping connections to, prevent contamination of public water sys- tems from impure water that may be used for industrial or fire fight ing purposes. Such safeguards de- feat the typhoid fever germ, but att tention to them may never be re- faxed.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-04-05

For five consecutive years, Con- necticut's death rate from typhoid fever has been less than one out of each 100000 of population, and for 25 consecutive years Connecticut has had no case of typhoid fever which has been caused by warte from a public water supply. 1t Is shown in state health records.
 There were only eight deaths from typhoid fever in the state during the whole year of 1936, and the death rate was 0.5 per 100000. What few typhoid cases now develop are caused by typhoid carriers who transmit the germs of the disease either directly or indirectly through milk, shellfish or other foods. Science has completely overcome the danger of the spread of typhoid fever by means of water taken from pulp lie water supply although to main- tain Connecticut's fine record re- quires constant vigilance over the supplies by waer system manage ments in cooperation with state and local health authorities.
 Many years ago, it was said that "A public water supply is public danger" but this is no longer the case, as is evidenced by the safe guards that are constantly being built around public water supplies
