this fashion. ''Let us review our safety lessons. Choose the play grounds or some field or open let in the neighborhood for games. Do not play in the streets. Hitching rides on trucks or wagons is a dangerous practice. We must ride our bicycles just as if we were driving car. A bicycle rider has to obey traffic regulations just as well as the driver of motor car. Use hand signals in turning, obey traffic lights and stop signs, and above all, do not ride anyone on the handlebarS. Incidentally, it is now positively against the law to ride a person on the handlebars of your bike. If you do so, you can be arrested, fined and your bi- cycle taken from you. Cross the street at intersections or on cross walks only. If there is a traffic officer or signal lights do not cross until you get the signal.
 Many times the younger chil- dren forget these things. That is to be expected. So, the older boys and girls have a responsibli- ity in caring for them. Don't let them do dangerous things. Stop them. Warn them of the dangers. Explain the proper way and al- ways keep your eye on ,them.
 "Let every boy and girl in every school in the state have the best vacation ever. It will be the best vacation if everyone will stop to think and do it the safe way. Let us see which school or which class can come back at the end of va cation next September without having had single boy or girl in- jured during vacation"

LITTLE DAMAGE DUE TO STORM
Heaviest DOwnpOur of Season Floods Streets,
 Ties Up Traffic

Torrential downpours that in- undated streets, overflowed sewers and made travel almost impossible both to motorists and pedestrian, apparently did little harm during its spell between 5 o'clock last night and 1 o'clock this morning.
 Lightning and thunder that ac- companied the storm caused no damage to the utilities companies, according to announcements by officials of the Connecticut Light & Power, and Southern New England Telephone companies.
 The storm was the heaveist this season and before it was completed Ia total of 1.43 inches was recorded The rain started shortly after 2 o. clock yesterday afternoon, but had completely stopped inside of two hours. The heavier storm started at o'clock.
 Occupants of cottages at nearby resorts were of the opinion that the storm was one of the most intense ever experienced. Cottages of not tooAtight construction were well dampened inside as result.

Schools Out! the perennial shout resounding throughout every city, town and village in the land during the next week.
 At the close of the day Friday, June 18th, every school in Connec- ticut will have been closed for the summer vacation. Thousands of school children will be filled with enthusiasm and energy after the confinement of the school year. Danger turks in these ihgh spirits.
 Past experience proves that many school children are injured or killed each year during the first several days of their school vacation. Swimming, falls, sun- burn, poison ivy, green apples, etc., are responsible for some of the casualties. But, automobiles by far, cause most of the accidents. Imbued with the holiday spirit, many school children foget the safety lessons which have been taught them during the school year.
 Boys and girls hitch rides on trucks and wagons, roller skate and play in the streets, ride bi- cycles in a dangerous manner, usually with a friend on the handlebars, run out into the street from behind parked cars, and any number of other dangerous things. If these dangerous practices were confined to the younger children 1t would be bad enough. But, rec ords show many of the older boys and girls doing the wrong thing. Consequently, thousands of school children spend many weeks of their summer vacations in a hos pital, or at home recovering from a broken arm. or leg or other seri- ous injury. Not a pleasant vaca- tion, to be sure; and source of great expense and worry to their parents.
 Parents and teachers are urged to admonish their charges after

Hard Luck Story MUOLUes
Seven Members of Family.

st. Cloud-If a Nobel prize were
awarded for surviving in spite of "hard
luck" it would probably find its most
deServant recipient in the Charles
Yaeger family near here. Within nine
months three operations have been
necessary, there have been three &C
cidents, one person has died, and two
daughters who have not suffered mis-
fortune are wondering what is in store
for them. Seven members of the family
have been afflicted. The amazing list
of tough breaks began last November
when Mr.. Yaeger's foot was crushed
while working at local stone shed.
In June his daughter, Bernice, 16, died
after a lingering illness. Shortly after
the death of Bernice, another daughter,
Rosemary, developed a case of blood
poisoning, resulting from blister on
her hand. August 10, Clare, the young
est of the Yaeger family, had her
was necessary to save her life. Then,
while Crale was confined to the local
hospital, x-rays revealed the necessity
of an appendicitis operation on Mary,
another sister. Because of Clare's ILL
ness Mary's operation was postponed
| for one week. The same week, Mrs
Yaeger was stricken with appendicitis
which required an emergency operation
August IT, Mary's operation took place
the following morning. Both mother
and daughter returned last week from
the hospital, but even then misfortune
had not ceased to frown on the family
While at play last Sunday, Charles
Junior broke his left leg. He was taker
to the hospital and his leg placed in 9
| cast.

laundered after every night of use in a
hotel All were serviceable until used
and laundered 1877 times and some
lasted until used and laundered 252
times. Strong bleacheS used in laun-
dering cut down the length of service
a great deal However, too hot irons
are the worst offenders; they gradually
weaken the cotton even if the scorch
is not visible. Ironing folds down the
middle of the sheet is also bad practice
If you are bothered by the shrinkage
of sheets, remember that the way they
are ironed influences this a great deal;
that is whether they are ironed selvage
to selvage or end to end. Continued
ironing in one direction increased the
length that way and decreases it the
other.
1t pays to keep a record of the kind
of sheets you buy and the date on which
you purchased them. You are then
better able to know what kind to re-
order. Anna S. Olson.

WHAT'S IN A
EQUALITY COAT?

Since the coat is one of the most
expensive items in the wardrobe and
must stand wear in all kinds OF
weather, usually for or years, check
ing on quality points before buying is
a practice that careful buyers wish to
follow A list of points to look for in
buying coat emphasizes the cut
seams and pressing. These relate to
workmanship. Other points are the
fabric used, the lining, and the inner
lining
Each part of the coat should be cut
with the grain of the material, or it
will soon get out of shape.
Goats should be pressed with every
lStep in the making.
Good-quality coats have carefully
matched seams stitched with firm
thread in close, even stitches. Arm
holes, seams, and front edges are re-
inforced with narrow pre-shrunk tape
to prevent stretching and possible tears
The front facing is tackled back Sc
curely but invisible to the inside of the
coat to keep a straight-hanging front
edge that will not roll.
Innings in good-quality coats are
fitted in and lining seams are matched
and tackled to corresponding seams in
the coat. Poor-quality coats have lin
ings made separately and put in the
coat all in one piece. Another point
to look for in the lining is a full
length pleat all the way down the
center of the back. This allows for
give" in wearing and keeps the lining
from pulling. This and further infor-
nation Is contained in Leaflet No. 1T
Quality Guides in Buying Women's
Cloth Goats, published by the Bureau
of Home Economics of the U. S. De-
partment of Agriculture.

TOMATO TIME.

Tomatoes are coming into their own
again at this season. Have you canned
enough tomatoes for your family? If
not, you are missing good bet, for
tomatoes are among the foods richest in
Vitamin A and C; others in this group
include peppers, spinach, parsley, cheese
greens and watercress.
The juice from red, ripe tomatoes
has about one-half as much of Vitamin
C as does fresh orange or grape fruit
juice, but even so, tomato Juice may
prove a lower priced drink, for prices
often run less than half that of the
citrus fruit juices, especially when to-
matoes are in season locally. Toma-
toes have a high vitamin A content
which is lacking in the citrus fruits
If you were to depend on tomatoes OF
tomato juice for your days supply OF
vitamin G and you know the body does
not store this vitamin, you would need
about one good-sized tomato a day
one that would weigh about four ounces
Tomatoes vary in their vitamin G con-
tent according to variety, whether they
have been cooked or are raw, or how
they are cooked. Green tomatoes have
almost as much vitamin G as do ripe
ones. Ripe tomatoes stored 20 days OF
more lose practically no vitamin c il
they remain firm and free from decay
| Heat and air are hard on vitamin {
because these factors cause more rapic
oxidation. Foods canned in the pres.
sure cooker or canned in the jar retair
more vitamin G than foods canned il
the open kettle.
Many homemakers prefer to can al
their tomatoes whole and then strair
them for juice as wanted. There i
probably less loss of vitamin c wher
this method is used. The time fo
processing tomatoes is shorter whe1
they are packed whole. If you do no
have canning bulletin, write to TIT
