Specifications of the job call for the expenditure of $lO,438 for irl- provements to .,the Wilton road, stretching down through the back country from the main travelled highway leading to Terryville and Bristol. The route itself is gravel road winding through rolling farm country. For years this highway has been the principal connecting line to various markets for the farmers residing along its length. Many of the farms are set back in the hills, with short country roads connecting them with the Wilton highway. The expected improve ment to this latter route will be of immense benefit to them as 8 means of contact with nearby towns and cities.
 8 To Work
 According to the contract plans, B persons will be given employment on the new project, which calls for widening the present highway, for a total distance of 2,800 feet. Header walls will be installed, with culverts and one foot gutters. A guard rail along the sides of the highway will also be, erected under the terms of the project, and brush cluttering the sides of the roadway will be cleared.
 The township of Plymouth with many miles of these important farm to market roads, has, under the Works Progress Administration pro- gram, developed many of these routes leading into the back coun- try. In 8 recent announcement : First Selectman William Eustice detailed two road developments which the WPA crews will start in the near future. Both of these, one portion of North street and the other short stretch of almost for- gotten roadway leading from North street to the upper end of Railroad street in Thomaston, will by im- provement be of infinite value to both of the above towns. North street at its upper end cuts through 7 farming territory, all of which is in use. Improvement to this thorough fare will greatly benefit these resi- dents.
 v Cow Path
 The other short stretch of road leading from North street past the entrance to St. Thomas cemetery, located on Thomaston territory, has for years been little more than scarcely discernable COW path. It $ at present choked with weeds and brush. The chief benefit to be de- rived from the fixing of this road , ia that 1t will make 2 vastly more

The case of William J. Butler, 38, of North Washington street, Plain- vile, charged with obtaining money under false pretenses, was bound over to superior court this morn- ing by Judge John F.

The car Butler sold to Walcott, according to the testimony offered today. was not his property until he had fully paid for 1t. Butler sold the car to Walcott last Octooer.

DON'T DO IT

Although this contemplated
plan Of yours is a friendly and
generous thought, I am going to
urge you not to send the
memorial flowers to the church
to be placed on the altar. And
I have two reasons for this:
First, you did not know the
boys mother; and second, the
boys father and sisters would,
naturally, wonder" about the
taste Of one who is not a relative
and who did not know the
mother, to assume this most
personal privilege. Don't you
agree?
INDICATE YOUR TRIBUTE
But I am definitely enthu-
siastic about your sending me-
mortal flowers or a plant to the
cemetery to be placed On the
grave. This wouldn't interfere
with the family's memorial
flowers, and would indicate your
spiritual tribute.
You might send the flowers. in
care Of the superintendent Of
the cemetery, with instructions
as to the placing Of the flowers.
And then you might write Q
brief note to the boy telling him
that you had taken the privilege
Of sending the flowers, In
tribute to the mother Of whom
he has spoken so devotedly and
tenderly.

When the young college girl
begins to count her credits we
believe she should be given at
least one for hand beauty.
Keeping the hands soft and at
tractive while in school means
a lot of regular care, as the
books and equipment are likely
to be dusty and the school chalk,
too has a tendency to coarsen
the skin. However, she usually
has beautiful white hands and
weIi-kept nails even with those
handicaps. and we are going to
give her some advice that will
help to keep them in this condi-
ton.
BEGINS WITH SOAP
The basis of all hand beauty
is cleanliness, and while frequent
washings with soap and water
will keep them clean, it is neces-
sary during the cool weather to
apply a soothing cream or lotion
after each washing.
The water may be kept soft
by adding a little borax to the
basin: then make a thick
creamy lather of the soap so
as to remove the stains from
the knuckles and finger tips. It
takes more soap when the
weather is brisk, because the
skin has a tendency to become
dry and cracked.
Remove with good rinsing
and pat dry, then exercise the
hands and fingers as the
cream is applied.
There are a number of spe.
cial hand bleaches and soften
ers, and if you would like to
make one at home, mix thin
paste of bran and milk, spread
it over the hands and arms and
leave it on for five minutes.
REMOVES DRYNESS
This will help to remove the
dryneSS about the nails, and
when the pack is removed, take
the manicure scissors and trim
off the loose, dry cuticle. Wrap
a little cotton about the tip of
the orangewood stick, dip it in
your manicure oil, then apply it
to the nail and all around the
edges. After a few moments the
tissues will be soft and pliable
SO they may be pushed back
from the sides and base of the
nail.
