Glass Decorations
For Home Reported
Gaining in Favor

The use Of glass in interior
decoration is growing in popu-
larity, particularly in kitchens
and bathrooms. Plate glass is
now made in various tints, such
as ivory, gray. Jade, black, white,
burgundy. orange, etc, and
blends we'll with most building
materials.
1t retains its bright, clear sur
face, even after many years Of
service. In kitchens, particular
housewives choose it for walls
and work counters, as it is read

Testing Concrete for Dryness,

A practical and simple way of de-
termining whether concrete floor is
dry enough to paint is to lay a piece
OF llnoleum three or four feet square
on the floor. If, after two days no
dampness shows under it, it is dry
enough to apply paint.

IA &P STORES
 PLAN HOLIDAYS
Will Close at I p. m. Every Wednesday ThrOugh-
 out Year

The stores of the Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea company in New Eng land will close every Wednesday af- ternoon at one o'clock throughout the year. This new schedule of a holiday each week for all the store employees will become effective next Wednesday, May Fifth.
 In commenting about the new schedule yesterday L. w. Thompson, vice president of the Great A. & P. Tea company of New Haven said. 'This is one of the plans that has been uppermost in our minds for a long time. We have always felt that the hours in the food business were too long and 1t has been our aim to reduce them.
 Some time ago we changed the opening hours of the stores in the morning from seven-thirty to eight o'clock. Too, we have cut down the closing time from six thirty to six o'clock and the Saturday night clos- ing hour in many points has been reduced considerably from what it used to be.
 we feel certain that our many good friends and patrons will be heartily in accord with our plans to make better, wherever possible, the conditions for our store employees. We already give to each manager and full-time clerk two weeks va cation with full pay after three years, and one week after one year. We have, also, established minimum rates of salary which provide that no manager will receive less than $35 week and no clerk that works the store hours will be paid less than SIS, a week, with full addi- tioral pay for any overtime. Even our newest clerks and the young fel- lows who are called delivery boys now are paid minimum of 31 cents an hour.
 Further. we have in effect very liberal policy in connection with sickness salary which is in addition to our group insurance. All of these things have been done but we shall continue to strive for other things that will make the work of the peo-

Democrat Legislative RepOrterD
 State Capitol, Hartford, April 30-- Especial to The Democrat) Com necticut's 1887 liquor control act is now in the hands of the clerk of the judiciary committee, Represen- tatiye John D. Thoms announced today. He is 8 member of the sub- committee of the judiciary group which has been studying changes in the law for the past couple of weeks Representative Thomas expressed the opinion that the bill will be ready to go before the full judiciary committee sometime in the coming week.
 AS predicted, there are only to be a few changes in the law. Che of the amendments will permit drink ing at bars in restaurants, hotels and clubs. This is considered an im- portant change as under the 1885 act all patrons of such establish ments had to drink sitting down, away from the bar.
 Approval Expected
 Representative Thoms said he eX- poets that the full judiciary com- mittee will approve this change in the law. There will be no hard liquor sales allowed in taverns. This amendment was strongly opposed by the Council of Twelve, 1lade up of leading Connecticut church heads, the w. c. T. U. and other temper ance groups. Mrs. Mabel Preusser of Waterbury, New Haven County pres ident of the w. c. T. u. and Rev. Theodore 0. Bobilin of the First Methodist church of Waterbury were among those who opposed al- lowing the sale of hard liquor in tavernS.
 The new law will provide for tax ation at the source of supply and will do away with the present four per cent gross sales levy. Several other changes will be made but they will be of small Importance.
 Sub- Committee
 Robert Winslow, clerk Of the tu- dietary committee, stated today that he has sent the bill approved by the subcommittee to the printers and added that he expects the printing work to be completed quickly so that

Only One Drawbacks
The only drawback of this plan
of relief for hay fever is that as
soon as you get outside you are
exposed once more to a pollen tad
en- atmosphere. Most people, how
ever. feel that if they can have a
comfortable night, they can pretty
well stand the days, and these de-
vices do make the nights comfort
able, allow good sleep and relief
from evening to morning.
The bedroom of the hay fever
patient should be cleared of drap-
cries, carpets and everything
which will catch and hold dust. 1t
this is done and it is vacuum

season and the air filter installed
in the window, all other entrances

breathes in $4,000 breaths of pol

his comfort.
Dist Of all kinds may be trout
hla ~ sonoe people who have per-

wear round. These cases cannot be
laid to pollen, but are due TO
house dust, probably broken up
cotton fibers. Sometimes the ma
teriai that makes up bedding is re-
sponsible for this year-round nay

and also for seasonal hay FEVER
victims a form of material known
as allergen-proof encasings y re-.
commended for bedding. Pillows

is used on ticking. break up in the

which is offensive to many nostrlls.
These encasings prevent that dust
