Well, fly time is overl Off come
the window screens. Thank good
ness, it's a job that comes only
twice year. The only bad thing
about Spring is trying to fit the
right screen to the right window.
There are a few enviable souls
who never have that trouble.
They're the ones who take time
in the Fall to mark each screen
carefully when it comes down.
You'll find those extra minutes
it takes you to mark the screens
now, will never be missed when
Spring rolls round. In fact, they'll
be appreciated. Put a I'D" for
dining room and number the VIM
dows-D1, Do, and so on. Put the
same marks on the window sill,
too Next Spring you'll have no
problem at all. Screens viii go on
like clockwork.
And while you're in the screen
taking-down business, examine
them carefully for signs of
weathering. Fall is the best time

The HOME DECORATOR
Your Screens

to paint screens and it's really a
simple process. Brush them off
on both sides until they're quite
clean. If necessary you can turn
the hose on them. Then, after the
screens are dry, give both the
wood or metal frames and the
wire mesh a coat of screen
enamel.
If you're a good housekeeper,
you'll be sure that both sides of
the screen are well painted. Often
the inside of the frames viii be in
good condition, and it will be nee
essary to touch up only the out
side. But if the wire mesh needs
painting, be sure to paint on both
sides. After the screens are thor
oughly dry. be sure the markings
are quite clear. Your screens are
then ready to be stored in their
Winter quarters.
While you're around the win
dows, take a look at the shutters.
See that they're in good condition
look for rust on hinges and
signs of wood rotting. A protec-
tive coat of exterior paint on the
shutters will probably not be
amiss. Or perhaps a change of
color-from green to deep blue,
for instance-will brighten the
appearance of your home COM
siderably. W
Good care of these small items
about the home is Important And

this fashion, always annpls repays

died when five weeks old. The third and fourth were seen by a physician at the ages of 19 and Is respectively. Both showed numer- ous signs of the congenital mani- festation of syphilis, including de- fective vision and hearing, and mental deficiency. The sixth child was apparently normal at the age of Il. The seventh and last child died at nine months. Thus, ot seven children born, only three lived and only one of these was normal
 This example shows how the dis ease strikes at the very foundation of society, the family. Dr. Talobt said, but today the child can be protected from the ravages of this disease, which were altogether toC common 25 and 30 years ago. To- day there are accurate blood tests for aid in recognizing the disease and there is specific treatment for its cure and prevention. Although, it has been difficult to have such problems made known to all parts of the population, the outlook is encouraging, the doctor stated, be- cause the public is now willing to take the necessary precautions to make congenital syphilis rare oc- currence and much effort is being made to protect the very lives and health of these children.
 Praises Law
 Dr. Talbot hailed Connecticut's marriage law which requires a blood test for syphilis of both partners before a marriage license can he granted as most progressive step The object of the law is to protect the family from this disease by preventing marriage when the dis ease is in a communicable stage. The law, he said, is working satis- factorily and has more than proved its worth by protecting more thar 100 families in the state from syphi- litic infection. Several peighbor- ing states are attempting similar legislation.

Talbot, director of the Bureau of Venereal Dis eases of the State Department cf Health, declared in the depart ment,s weekly broadcast today that the outlook is encouraging and much progress is being made in safeguarding the child from the heritage of congenital or prenatal syphilis, which has wreckel the health of thousands of children in the past and which is still found in about 100 Connecticut children each year.
 Progeny Affected
 Dr. Talbot cited one family his- tory to illustrate how the disease affects the progeny. A man having some knowledge of drugs contracted syphilis and attempted to treat himself. Upon subsequent mar riage, he also and equally as in- effectually treatd his wife after he infected her The wife later de- veloped severe complications of the disease with dire effects on the many children to whom she gave birth. The first child was born prematurely and died. The second
