GOOD RULES FOR
 SAFETY IN HOMES
Shock and Fire Hazard Avoided If Appliances
 Are Properly Used

Hartford, Sept. 25-With the time of year at hand when household electrical appliances will be brought into greater use than in past months, attention is called by Conn., ecticut public utilities to ten safety suggestions which will insure pro- lection against fire and shock haz- ards, and which will be incorporated in the 1888 calendar of the National Safety Council. No such hazards exist when electric appliances are properly used and connected, but even abuse of such simple house. hold fixture as @ chairmay result in potential danger of accident. The safety suggestions are as follows:
 1. Use appliances made by re- liable manufacturers.
 2. Select extension cord bearing Underwriters Laboratories label, and fittings marked with current rating and makers name.
 3. Do not pate ha cord; get a new one.
 1. Do not tinker with defective appliances, wall switches, or house wiring: get an expert repair man.
 S. Lifting an electric appliance by the cord may injure the wiring or connections.
 6. Do not set electric appliances on the kitchen stove, kitchen sink. or other grounded metal; never touch two appliances, or an appli- ance and 8 pull-chain switch or other grounded metal at the same time.
 2. Use no electric appliances ir the bathroom. If bathroom light has chain switch, attach a rib bon or cord; never touch a lamp chain or any electric appliance with wet hands.
 8. See that the rado is properly grounded,
 g. Use only rubber insulated ex- tension cord on the washing ma chine; have floor entirely dry while operating machine.
 10. Never replace an electric fuse with a penny or other makeshift, this will overload the wiring. Use only IS ampere fuse. If the fuse blows out again, call the electric company to find the trouble.

campaign would be conducted with dignity. That is still my po- sition. There is a type of cam- paigning to the level of which, as Mayor of the City of Waterbury, I refuse to degrade myself. On Thursday night my opponent re- stored to a personal attack on me on matters which are not issues in this campaign. They were too cheap and too trivial to be treated with anything but contempt by me. I am not going to insult the intelligence of the people of Wa terbury by mentioning them. I shall confine myself to matters of real interest to the voters of Waterbury. I shall continue to stand upon the record I have made.
 Distortions
 In the Waterbury Republican of September 18th, my opponent is quoted as saying: If I dis torted the truth last night, let them listen in next Thursday night. Well, Thursday night has come and gone, and those who listened in know that for once the candidate kept his promise. Let's analyze some of his most recent distortions.
 One of the most widely used falsehoods is that which has been. repeatedly uttered by my oppon- ent and echoed by those support ing him. It is the accusation that the tax rate of 42 mills on the 1929 list was fixed by MT. Leary and myself so that we might have the credit of reducing it later. Let me dispose of this falsehood for ever. .F
 The tax rate in question was set by the Board of Finance and the Board of Aldermen in December, 1929. My administration did not take office until January, 1880. It must be remembered that at this time the affairs of the city were being investigated by body ap- pointed by the governor of the state known as the Waterbury Charter Commission" This com mission, with their experts, had collaborated with the city boards and the result is best shown by the following letter from the Charter Commission to the Board of Finance dated December 19, 1929. I quote from this letter:

N. H. ROAD TOPS
 NEW CAR ORDERS
Acquires Over Ten Per Cent of New Air=COndi=
 toned Stock to July 1

New Haven, Sept. 25.-More than ten per cent of the 424 new, air conditioned passenger cars on order by the Class railroads of the coun- try on July this year were those of the New Haven railroad which at that time had 45 on order. Most of these new streamlined, air-condi- tioned cars have already been deliv- cred and when delivery is complete the New Haven will have 150 such coaches. This is exclusive of the large number of passenger coaches owned prior to 1885 which the rail- road had conditioned, and it is exclusive as well of the many air. conditioned diners and Pullman cars operated over the system. The total of all air-conditioned cars on the New Haven is now 668.
 The New Haven has been among the leaders in furnishing its pass engers with up-to-date, air-condi- toned, fast rolling equipment. The movement has spread rapidly throughout the country until on June 30 of this year, according to J. J. Pelley, former New Haven president and now president of the Association of American Railroads, the Glass I roads and the Pullman Company had 9,311 air-conditioued passenger cars in operation. Of the total number of passenger cars which have been conditioned, the railroads had AIS. in service, including coaches, dining cars and other types of passenger equipment. The Pullman Company had 4,56O r-conditioned passenger cars in service, including sleeping cars, lounging cars and other passenger equipment.
 The New Havens 150 streamlined passenger cars are equipped for modern, healthful, controlled air. conditioning. and have double, sealed windows to keep out dirt, cold and noise. They have deep, com- fortable seats, trimmed with stain less steel and tilted to the correct angle for complete relaxation while travelling. The cars were especially designed for the New Haven, and leading engineers and decorators were called upon to produce the coaches which are now found on nearly every train in main line service.

I resent the epithet not because 1t is the first discourtesy he has shown me, but because iL is a slur on the intelligence and the char acter of every man and woman, irrespective of party afaliation, who ever cast his or her vote for me. .l..
 I was born and raised in Water | bury. I have spent my life in Wa terbury. My family have resided in Waterbury for generations. As a matter of fact, my great-grand- mother was buried where the Bronson Library now stands. It remained for a gentleman who re- gently arrived from Branford to apply to me a name which no decent native of Waterbury would care to use.
 Insult To Citizens
 Personally, being called a gang ster does not bother me. There is nothing in my life as man, as a citizen, or as Mayor of the city which justifies MT. Upson or any, one associated with him in call- ing me the leader of gang. If it were not for the reflection it casts on the people of the city who have honored me repeatedly and in ways unconnected with politics, I would let it pass un- noticed. But in the name of jus- tice and decency, and out of re- spect for the reputation of my fellow citizens, my neighbors, and my life long friends I cannot re- main silent in the face of what is a direct insult to them MT. Up- son spoke for himself and his as- sociates when he called me a gangster. He did not speak for the respectable members of the Republican party in Waterbury. I believe they, as well as the mem bers of my own party, will know how to treat the disgrace put upon them on election day.

tagious at any time or stage. There Is still considerable uncertainty about the mode of infection with undulant fever (also called Malta fever, Texas fever, Mediterranean fever), and until we know posi- lively how the disease is contracted we cannot conscientiously say that a person who has 1t or who has re- gently recovered from 1t may be employed in any capacity which in- wolves more or less intimate contact with other persons.
 Nor can we honestly assure the public that one will not get undu- lant fever If one drinks no raw milk. Undulant fever is more frequently seen in persons employed as hand lers of goats, cattle, swine; 1t is comparatively uncommon in infants and young children who are the chief consumers of milk. However, If there is any anxiety about the hazard of milk from COW or goat that has contagious abortion, Bangs disease (which is probably identical with or closely related to undulant fever in man) the milk, regardless of it's source or grade, may be made | perfectly safe for infant, child or adult by the simple process of bring ing 1t to boil for one minute only.
 Competent investigators who have studied undulant fever say that the germ may be discharged in the urine from twenty to three hundred days after the onset of the illness. They believe an insect may be con- cerned as the carrier of the infec- ton.
 Only subsidized experts, if you know what that means, are cock sure about the cause and preven- ton of undulant fever. For that matter, one has to make due allow ance for the subsidy that inspires much of our present-day science"
 Young Mans Rest
 I am 2l, happily married nine months. Husband, 27, has his own meat market and grocery store. He gets up at quarter to five every mor- ming and he gets seldom more than six hours sleep. (Mrs. P. w. W.
 Answer-A young man can live that pace for while, but not for long. He needs at least eight hours sleep each night. and if he does the actual work in the shop he needs at least nine hours sleep.
 BlemisheS
 Please tell me something good for blemishes. My face is sight. (Miss H. P.)
 Answer-Probably you mean pim- ples and blackheads, oily skin, acne. If so, send stamped envelope bear ing your address and ask for in- structions for treatment of acne, blackheads.

the body to make effective use of calcium, the mineral which makes bones strong, nails and hair healthy. He warns against too much sun, of course, and advises those with dry hair to use a scalp oil during and after exposure.
 The summer sun is a boon to health, but only when it's rays are courted with caution. The suns rays render three important serv- ices; heat, light and stimulation. Tie short rays, tapering from blue to ultraviolet, are the ones with which we are concerned when beau- ty discussions arise. These stimulate growth, give flowers their color, your skin it's coat of golden tan and your hair It's very life"
 Naturally, ardent sun bathers ought to renew their attention to brushing with new vigor. Experts agree that brushing cleans the scalp, removes every trace of dand- ruff or dry cuticle brings oil from the scalp to the ends of the hair and gives each strand a lovely heal thy sheen.
 Everyone's hair should be washed once q week. In summertime. 1t may be necessary to shampoo even oftener than this. However, if you are bothered with dry condition which brushing does not correct, stick to the weekly routine, summer or winter, and depend on dry clean ing to supplement the regular shampoos. Simply rub handful of loose cotton across the typs of the hairbrush bristles, then brush upward and backward. When the cotton is soiled, remove 1t and re- peat with a fresh supply.

No day is ever better than its breakfast. Not nature. but a burned muffin will explain many a grumpy man. So give intelligent thought to your breakfast and the rest of the day will speed along merrily.
 We hear lot about American breakfasts.

 Time Is an element in any proper breakfast. A few extra minutes in bed are not half so restful az a de- liberately enjoyed mess of rice grid- dlc cakes. Especially when served with a slightly sweetcned syrup made of fresh garden berries.
 Rice GriddIe Cakes
 One cup boiled rice, cup milk, 2 tablespoons melted butter, egg. 1 cup flour, 2 tablespoons baking pow der, teaspoon salt.
 Sift flour, measure and sift to- gether with salt and baking powder. Combine rice, milk and melted but ter. Beat egg well and add. Then combine dry ingredients with this mixture Bake on slightly greased hot griddle. Will make about 15 moderate griddle cakes. Serve with fresh raspberry or strawberry syrup, lnd watch the morning smile.
 Fruit juice, either canned or fresh, or in many delicious combinations of fresh and canned, should begin this ceremony of facing new day. Eggs seem to be an American habit and good one. Then hot bread or toast. and If the spirit Is kind, a few strips Of crisp bacon should help the day begin Coffee, of course and then the dash for the train down. lown.

Rug Design "Hooked''
 From Indians

From the rug looms of the Maya jos comes this interesting design, and you'll find hooking gives 1t a Softness and depth of pattern which cannot be achieved in weav- ing. Symbolic of Indian handicraft, this rug should be worked in red, white, gray and black. However, for a rug of singular beauty which would harmonize with a more con- servative color scheme, this might be worked in shades of tan, brown and rust. No. C8111 is a hot iron transfer which will stamp on bur- lap to make 8 rug about 27x42.
 To order. ask for No. C8111, or tear out illustration and send with IS cents stamps or coin. Address your orders to the Waterbury Democrat MAKE IT YOURSELF PATTERN BUREAU, BOX 166, KANSAS CITY, MO. Be sure to give name and complete address.

used. The tone of the skin is con- sidered and then special powders are blended to get just the right shade for the skin. Similarly, rouge is blended until the exact shade is found. Eye-shadow is mixed in the same way to find the most becom- ing blend, and the right shade of lipstick is chosen by experts to suit the entire makeup.
 The beauty expert then turns the woman over to a hairdresser who examines the shape of her face, the texture, length and color of the hair and then starts in on an individual style of hair dressing.
 Harmless vegetable rinses fre- quently are used to brighten up dead-looking hair, and after a two-hour session the beauty ex- perts turn out an entirely different person with an individuality of her own.

the bard from Avon sang.
 Democracy In Mental Freedom
 To thine own self be true-that is the commencement orators mes- sage, too. He said: "It does not seem to me that to go to college and receive diploma has much meaning unless 1t signifies the cap- acity, and above all the will, to keep on searching for truth against all the claims and the counter claims of all the partisans, and with 1t the boldness to tell the truth about any party with which you are associated"
 College should not teach a boy or girl what to think. It has done its duty, fulfilled its function, when 1t teaches him to think. Certainly all the people in a country - all the students on campus-can not hold the same viewpoint on any one af- fair. We would be robots in paper doll pattern If we did, colorless and thin and unimportant. Our mental vigor comes in the democracy of mental freedom.
 Think and speak out bodly!" shows how far women have pro- gressed since that first Equal Rights convention which they held back in 1848, at Seneca Falls. They came together, then, because they bought so many things-equal rights in franchise, education, industry, pro- fessions, political office, marriage, personal freedom in the control of property, in making contracts, in church and in leadership in all moral and public movements.
 
 Change 100 Years Wrought
 It's a long way back, close to 100 years, but if the class of 1887 will take the backward view 8 moment 1t will find its great, great grand- mothers, much upset and in fiutter because they didn't think 1t would be proper for Lucretia Mott. their leader, to preside. It would be un- seemly--a woman presiding in a public place, even if 1t was a gath ering of women to plead for wo- mems rights! Therefore, MT. Mott, the husband of the famous Lucretia, took the chair and shook the gav- el. He is forgotten now. Most people never knew that there was MT. Mott--but he did the women of that early age a good turn.
 Today, when we realize that the girls of the colleges are being com mended to speak out freely, brave- ly, unashamed and unafraid, we realize how far we have come. We need not echo the views of any man or woman. Our reactions carry a price. a goodly one, and we should raise the banner of our causes in pride.
