KEEP THE HOME
FIRES IN CHECK.

One thing that would help reduce
the tragic loss from home fires is
fireproofing such inflammable articles
as children's clothing, window curtains,
and ironing board covers. A new Far
mers' Bulletin "Ffreproofing Fabrics"
has just been published by the U. S.
Department of Agriculture, which gives
four simple formulas for fireproofing
solutions and directions for applying
them Cotton fabrics and other fabrics
composed largely of celluloSe catch fire
more easily and burn more readily than
wool and silk The bulletin recon-
mends fireproofing certain types of
clothing, rugs used in front of fire
places, draperies or curtains hanging
near stoves, fire-smothering blankets,
ironing board covers, and cloth pot
filters.
A brief explanation of the action of
various fireproofing agents points out
the good and bad qualities of the
solutions more commonly used. A mix
ture of boric acid and borax is most
highly recommended because it not only
fireproofs fabrics but prolongs their
serviceable life. A recommended for
mula is: z ounces Borax, ounces Boric
acid and quarts hot water.
If powdered boric acid is used, dis
solve it by making it into paste with
a small quantity of water. Hot water
is used in making the solution Some
articles only require saturation in the
solution. The fireproofing materia.
should not affect the color, appear
ance, feel or wearing quality of the
fabric.

Locust Trees
NOU in Bloom.

Luverne-Three locust trees believed
to be the only trees of that kind in
Luverne and possibly in the entire Rock
county-are in full bloom at the M
Swedberg home here. The trees are
bedecked in profusion of white, giving
the appearance of solid white mass.
Besides being very beautiful, the bios
SONS emit pleasing odor. The largest
tree, which is about 40 feet in height,
was planted by Mrs. Swedberg As years
ago from seed obtained from her
brother in Tomah, Wisconsin. Locust
tree bark is quite coarse, and the trees
themselves are sturdy and slow growing.
They are capable of re-seeding them
selves from seed dropped on the
ground. The locust tree is rare in this
part of the country.

STANDARDS AND LABELS.

Does the pure food and drug law of
the U. S. Department of Agriculture re-
quire that canned foods be labeled ac-
cording to grade? No, but there is a
McNary -MapeS Amendment to the
Foods and Drug Act which empowers
the secretary of Agriculture to estab-
liSh minimum standard of quality for
each kind of canned food except milk
and meat products. The food must
measure up to at least this minimum
or else state certain facts on the label.
For instance, every case of tomatoes
that does not measure up to this min
imum standard must carry the label

Simonson Organizes
 Legislative Workers
Former WatervlIe Pastor Elected President of Con-
 solidated Brooklyn, N. Y., Group

Rev. Mulford B. Simonson, former pastor of the Grace Baptist church in Waterville and present rector of the Cropsey Avenue Methodist church in Brooklyn, N. r., was elect ed president of the newly organized Brooklyn Community Legislative Committee whose objective is to consolidate the efforts of all groups in the 18th Assembly District of Brooklyn to further civic improve ments which are so sorely needed.
 The formation of this organiza tion started several months ago when a group of seven men and women, headed by Rev. MT. Simonson, con- vened in the interests of the com- munity. This mere handful of citi- zens invited prominent Brooklyn civic workers, social workers and others eminent in the field of en- deavor for the community, to par ticipate, with the result that prac- tically every organization in the district was represented.
 Since no slate of officers was prepared, nominations were made from the floor and as result Rev. MT. Simonson was elected president.
 Rev. MT. Simonson has been pas tor of Cropsey Avenue Methodist church the past three years. He for merly attended Ohio Western Uni versity and received his degree at Drew Theological Seminary in Madi-

SHERIFF BECKWITH HOST TO CHILDREN
600 Expected to Attend Free Show in Thomas
 ton Tomorrow

Sheriff Sutherland A. Beckwith of Litchfield county is continuing ] his campaign of spreading good will throughout the county. Tomorrow morning he will be host to 600 youngsters of ThomaSton who will be excused from school to attend a gigantic free show which the pop ular sheriff has arranged for their amusement at the Paramount theater.
 The movies are free to the chill dren and are sponsored by the sher- ifs First Offender club. The pur- pose behind the free shows for the kiddies of course is an attempt on the part of MT. BeckWith to instill into the mind of every youngster in the county the great need of liv- ing honestly. ,The main topic which the sheriff always stresses is the fact that once person is sentenced to jail or prison they have estab- lished a prison record and once a person established prison record their life is practically ruined. In order to curb future crime and criminals Beckwith has organized the First Offender club of which he is the spear head. The prime object of the club is to keep young sters from committing petty crimes, which always lead to more impor- tant ones.
 Mothers and fathers of children from various towns and cities of the county have been quick to see the value of the First Offender club and they appreciate the tactfui manner in which Beckwith i'm presses the childhen with the ever important fact that all children should guard their regulations very carefully.
 As Beckwith puts it: If we teach the youngsters right from wrong. if we impress upon them what criminal record may mean in later life if we help even in small way to mold a youngsters life then we'll feel that we will have been amply repaid"

C.R.&L. Service High School Student Made Happy by Return of Lost
 Handbag.

When a certain young miss reached her first class in high school today she was forlorn with the sense of a great loss. Some where on the way to school she had lost her handbag containing so many things she prized.
 Tt must have been on the bus" she told her teacher and class mates.
 So, it was suggested that she speak to the bus driver when he made the next circle down from Fairmount to South Leonard street. She did. But Driver John McElligott was not the driver of the bus on which she had made the trip to school.
 It was 8 o'clock when Driver McElligott sped down on his re- turn trip from Fairmount and reached the corner of West Main and Grand streets. The bus bound for Fairmount was stopped across the way.
 Driver McElligott hopped out and went over, returned with one handbag.
 "This has been to Waterville and back on a bus ride" he re- marked triumphantly to his pas sengers. Belongs to a girl in high school" he explained.
 So, the point of this Host and found" item is to indicate that sometimes, even if rarely, a per- son may expect to have lost ar ticles returned in 8 most unex- pected fashion. Cooperation did it, in the case of the high school girls handbag, cooperation with a dash of sympathy and Driver McElligott, of course.

(By The Abrigadorian)
 The days of old time brass bands, nd orchestras come back to many of us up here in this sec- tion of the city in the burial on Monday of William J. Bergin, old time city resident, and one of the well known Bergins of the historic Abrigador, in its by-gone days of almost strict Irish residency and activity. There were few of us who didn't know the Bergins, builders, active in their work, and good and worthy citizens of our district. The two brothers, there may have been more for all we know, were Ed and Billy; Ed died some years ago.
 Good Musicians
 The Bergins were born up Windsor way, but they had lived in Waterbury since boyhood. Both Ed, and Billy were good musi- clans and some of the sons fol- lowed in their footsteps. Back in high school days, young Billy, son of Ed. footed the cornet at every outing in which the class took part. The elder Billy's sons also took to music.
 But we remember Billy Bergin, just buried, as a band leader and orchestra director. The old Amer ican band was organized in the early eighties, and to offset this outfit, the City band came into existence. This latter organization was made up principally of resi- dents of the Abrigador, and Old Out East. The elder Jimmy Dunn looked after the drums, big Tom Moran blew a great big brass horn, as did Barney Reid and Fat Billy Wilson, while the Bergins directed the entire body of musi- clans. At the outset, the Bergins were the only ones who could read music. The rehearsal hall was up around Phoenix avenue some where. The Bergins were strict and

 Two revisions in school rules with regard to teachers pay for absence were made as follows: For the death of father, mother, brother or sister, husband, wife or child, fath- er-in-law, brother-in-law or sister in-law, or other relative provided such relative resided with the teacher, absence for three days with full pay is permitted"
 Deduction for absence on a school day preceding or following a holiday shall also include deduc- ton for the holiday"
 Edward Bevans was granted a leave of absence from May 13 to June 16. His request was support ed by a statement from pr. T. R.. Preston of t.le Newington Veterans hospital. Herbert Hager, formerly of Cheshire, now of 30 Gates ave- nue will be provided with transpor- tation to the Meriden State Trade school, according to a board vote yesterday.

most attentive to their task, and persistent in their efforts to bring about a good band. It was really an aftermath of the famous Flaherty band, in existence in Waterbury in the seventies, and a noted institution in all of the numerous Irish parades of that day. The Bergins also played under Keron Flaherty, known as a leader who wasn't afraid to cri- ticize and who often openly show ed his displeasure at times along the line of route.
 Best Horn Man
 You may be the leader of this band, Keron," said one of the men as they stopped for a breathing spell near the Green, but if you ever attempt to call me down again in front of the onlookers. there will be trouble"
 There, there, now" responded the smooth band leader, don't be- come upset; I meant that for the fellow near you; say, you're the best horn man we have in line"
 Flaherty's band, in its day in Waterbury, was heardl in every parade held here, and also at every affair in which the Waterbury Temperance society or the Hi bernians took part. And in the St. Patrick's day parades of long years ago, it was Flahertys band wano led the way.
 Billy Bergin often directed the old American band, at a time when it didn't have an out of town leader, George Rudolph also di rected at times; the better known leaders however were Blake, Phoenix, Snow and Fulton. Few of the band members of these days are now around. Billy Bergin was among the last.
 Forty years ago, Bergin's orches- tra was among the leaders in the dance work of the city, along with Faulman's orchestra. Billy Bergin himself often played with Faul- man; he was not only cornetist, but also violinist. Later Adolph Lallier came into view, and his name also figured in the regular winter dances of the numerous clubs of the city. George Hallams orchestra was located at the Jacques theater. This orchestra, of which Billy Bergin was part, always assisted the famous choir of the Church of the Sacred Heart at the Easter and Christmas serv- ices. The principal soloist was Mrs. William Bergin, wife of MT. Ber- gin. What singers; crowds packed the church at every musical pro- gram.
 MT. Bergin was often found ir the old days at his work of "brick laying" He was one of the fine lot of artists in this line the old town had in its building program which made it possible to grow up." He surely did his part well in this respect.
 We, of the Old Abrigador, had not seen MT. Bergin in some years. He had moved to another part of the city.
 But our memory of him since our boyhood always carried feel ing of joy and pleasure as we trotted along at his side. delighted at the playing of the band, and pleased at his outward friendship of allowing us to batter the streets with him until the parade was over. It was a thrilling experi- ence for the young, and never to be forgotten.
 We salute with bowed head our friendship for this man just gone, so much in his day to the boy fol- lower of brass bands, the mem- bers of whom still known in name, in part, by some now grown to full manhood, and whose memory they shall keep forever.
