SURGEONS divide burns into a
classification of degrees-frst, Sec
Ond and third degree-depending
on how deep the burn is, how much
OF the skin is destroyed. A SUM-
ourn Is usually named as the typi-
cal example of a first degree burn.
But it can be worse, and every doc
Tor has seen severe prostration and
real illness from prolonged and
padly advised exposure. 1t cannot
Oe too strongly emphasized that
sun bathing is ber1eficial only when
uone gradually, until the body is
used to it.
Not only the skin burn, but the
uanger Of heat prostration is I'M

son sun worshipers. And it doesn't
make any difference where you are.
II is not the tropical sun only that
gives you a beating. A white per-

FOUR-CARD MAJORS

AMONG EVEN the top fight
players you can find faddists who
refuse to make an opening bid on
a four card major suit, even II
they hold two such suits. If the
hand is too strong to pass, they
will start with a short suit minor
bid or funny looking no trumps.
Later on, however. they enthusiasts
tically bid their four-card majors,
having once warned their partners
about their .brevity. Pretty fair
arguments can be made for this
theory, but none whatever for
carrying the idea to the extreme
and never bidding a four-card ma
Jor. That tantrum amounts to rul-
ing out the incest of all normal
trump tts-four OPP. tie four.

his theory that four-card majors
should never be bid originally,
started bidding with 1.Diamofd.
West doubled this, North passed
and East called 2-Clubs. South
now bid 2-Hearts, which West also
doubled, and North put In bid Of
3-Diarnonds. Possibly because Of
the power shown by West, South
now hesitated about showing the
spade suit. and as a result they
missed game.
When South demonstrated with
his partner for not having shown
the spades, North's retort was that
if South held five, clubs and four
hearts. which his bidding indicated,
it was hardly likely that he held
support for spades.

Hov Danger May Follo,O
Bad Case of Sunbut1,

A household remedy always at
hand is vinegar. Tiiute it with
water. Many think 1t the best.
Baking soda made into a paste and
applied on antiseptic gauze is good.
Best of all the household RENE
dies If the burn is deep and oozing
and painful, Is cold tea. Or tea
leaves. The ingredient in tea which
does the work is tannic acid, which
can be obtained from the drug
store in pure form with instruc-
lions how to use.
For an application to put on the
skin the first few days Of exposure
to prevent severe burning, try:
Quirine sulphate -. 2 parts
Alcohol ....... 80. 20 parts,
Olive oil ........... 80 parts
Peanut Oil .........100 parts
Any druggist can make this up.
QUESTIONS FROM READERS

through your column, your views
on the injection method Of hernia
repair ?"
Answer: It has been used with
considerable success In selected
cases. Inasmuch as the selection
Of cases depends on the surgeons
Judgment, the best advice that can
be given is to seek out a surgeon
who is familiar with the treatment
and also capable Of operating in
the regular way and accept his con-
illusions. It can be said, however,
quite definitely that the method is
widely and successfully used, and
is approved by some Of our best
surgeons.

Here we called our folks at Char
iotte to let them know that we had
been detoured, detained and delayed
and would be late arriving there.

There were hundreds of white bun

surroundings. We missed the main
part of town.
Concords highway sign says 1880,
and there on the suburbs is a MOSES
STREET. A very large rock garden
on the edge of the sidewalk was to-
tally made of cactus. I suppose they
had an "eye for business" as hardly
anyone would break off and pull at
cactus as they pass.
Out from there were lot Of enor-

though it might have weighed Is tons
or more. And possibly as much of
it was hidden in the ground as show
ed above ground.
At last we reached Charlotte, now
said to be 100000 population, largest
city in the State. We drove around
the city about five times before we
finally found Bay Street, a beautiful
avenue with pretty huoses.
There Cousins Morris and Alberta
and their two. daughters, Clara and
Berta, were awaiting our arrival. AS

We all enjoyed a most bountiful
supper which truly did so we'll "hit

atrocious appetites. Every time I
thought had gotten to a good stop
ping place, one or the other of them
passed me another one of those good
brown, grahamflour biscuits with
butter to match.
Then Cousin Morris took us for a
ride uptown to see the electrified
Main Street, Tyron Street. The post
office I suppose is the largest in the
State, costing $35O,O00. We went in
and mailed cards home to let them
all know we had made the first lap
of our journey.
We went back to the house and
Cousin Alberta played the piano

Almost hopelessly denuded by a
combination of careless tree cutting
and soil-washing rains, thousands of
acres of steep and severely eroded
land in North Carolina are bringing
forth life again as farmers reclaim
these wasted acres with pine trees.
Thus, erosion is brought under con-
troll and productive use is provided
for land which cannot be cultivated
safely. Specialists of the State Col
lege Extension Service and the Soil
Conservation Service are showing an
increasing number of farmers each

lncomepoops

large department store in New York advertises its budget service thus: DO you trek home with empty pockets on the 11th day of your vacation? Do you treat your fiancee so royalty that you can't af- ford to marry her? Do you go in for fine Spode china and dine on corned beet hash? If so, you're an incomepoop, and you ought to see our Budget Director. She'll hitch your means to your ends, she'll show you how to squeeze a dollars worth of frolic out of every fifty cents! Start home!"
 It seems rather unusual to have store urging people not to buy. And indeed a commentator in Editor and Publisher re- marks that there's only one disturbing merchandising point about it. Those who are incomepoops to department store are the bread and butter of smart res taurants, theaters, jewellers, florists and others who minister to luxury tastes.
 But second thought gives the edge to the budget service, and seems to indicate the commentator hadn't thought far enough. For when people buy luXuries that they cannot afford, somewhere along the line they get into debts that they can net get out of, and too much debt dis rupts the whole system. It's better. espe- cially for the young just starting out, to stick to the budget which pays for the ne- cessities promptly and set aside little cash with which to take an occasional well-deserved fling at the luxures. The luxury providers make better living when they deal with sound people than with incomepoops.

Slowly Coming To Head

The battle over so-called roadside us- tice as dispensed to erring motorists IS slowly but surely coming to a head in Connecticut. One of these fine days there will be such an outburst of public opinion against the continuation of our present system of fees for small-toWn constables and other enforcement officers engaged in patrolling highways that it will re- sound from one end of the state to the other. There have been outbursts in the past, but they were scattered. We've a feeling there's going to be a general breaking up one of these days
 Gene Tunney, writing in the current issue of The Connecticut Nutmeg speaks about a racket" in the small towns which allows "indiscriminate" arrest of motor- ists on various charges but mostly on the very general one of violation of rules of the road, It might be mentioned too, that MT. Tunney, erstWhile worlds heavv- weight champion fell afoul of the law in Woodbury year or so ago when he drove through "stop" sign at an intersection He planned to press an appeal, but changed his mind and paid his fine after a few days deliberation. Right now a N Y. motorist is planning to do just about what Mr. Tunney planned and in Wood- bury, too. He likewise claims he was sub- jected to racket.
 There may be some justice on the side of the motorists who are picked up in speed-traps that small-toWn constables employ There have been notable in- stances where there was collision among town officials to permit such tactics to be employed. It is doubtful if such plan is of any material benefit in preventing careless or reckless operation along the highways. There have been efforts to rid the state of such "campaigns" in the small towns and usually when the public spotlight is centered on town suffi- ciently it drops any methods that might smell to high heaven. Ultimately we're going to do something about the con- stable-fee system which seems to be the bugaboo in the entire situation
 One point that Mr. Tunney makes in his editorial, though interested us. He spoke about the trick" of preferring the charge of violation of rules of the road against driver, which covers multitude of sins. He's right but there's two sides to this, and one is on the drivers side. By preferring such charge the motorist doesn't stand the chance of losing his li- cense, should he be found guilty If he were charged with reckless driving, though, and found guilty there's no al formative. The law prescribes loss of li- cense for stipulated period and the court must comply with it. But rules of the road elastic as such charge may

cisms, and see that future county expenditures were properly budgeted and accounted for.
 Last week the county reaped the benefit from these "reforms"' when county legislators met and approved a budget prepared by the county commissioners and their auditors calling for an increase of $13,534 in expenditures over the current county fiscal year. Much of the en- tire budget of $452,398 is for serv- ices which could be more efficiently and economically performed by the state itself. A handful of legisla- tors opposed the budget increases, but otherwise, acceptance of them was routine-as it always was in the days before there was any investiga- tion of the county costs of govern ment.
 The county system seems to have weathered neatly the unpleasant pe- riod in which there was a tendency toward public criticism of its anti quated methods and eXtravagant ex- penditures, and it is now once more blithely on the upgrade in its de- mands upon the county's taxpayers
 The people, and the peoples rep resentatives, missed their opportun- ity. We point out, however, that they can create that opportunity again-by an insistent and consist. ent demand for a revision of the county system of government i1 Connecticut, with the purpose o1 centralizing most of the current functions of that system in the hands of the state.

A Thought for Today
Victory at the Polls

A ticket of uninstructed delegates, who will select Democratic candidate Tn the 18th Senatorial District, was picked yes terdav by less than half of the registered Democrats in the district. With more than 5000 names of the Democratic pri- mary list for the 18th District, less than 5000 responded to the urgings of friends and organization workers and came to the polling places to express preference in the matter of delegates to the conven- ton. While this is not to be regarded as an indication of how voters will react next November, it does prove to this writer that primary fights, no matter how hotly contested, fail to live up to expectations.
 The bright side of yesterdays balloting lies not so much in the defeat of slate of delegates who would have been expected to nominate Attorney Daniel F.. Pickett for State Senator, but in the victory for the Democratic Voters Committee, which was responsible for the filing of the only other list of delegates and which carried the brunt of the fight for it's election, as it properly should have. While the Dem- ocratic Voters Committee is not an organ ization with political purposes other than restoring harmony within the ranks, it has to date proved to be quite capable of accomplishing things that political groups often WorK long years to bring about.
 Tn the strict sense of it yesterdays result spelled further and perhaps in- creased demand for reorganization of the Democratic Party of Waterbury. It proved fairly conclusively that when the Democratic Voters Committee succeeded ia securing pretty general endorsement for it's slate of convention delegates early this week it had struck happy note in party ranks. Its first voting test yester- day was passed satisfactorily. Further tests will come when delegates gather next Monday night to pick further delegates to nominating conventions. This will be the real test, for, if what was planned is to come true, we will witness delegation slate unpledged, uncontrolled, and mindful of every potential candidates right to seek nomination for public office.

Although the fight is apparently a hopeless one the Saugatuck Association, comprising property owners in this sec tion of the state, is planning to carry the fight to the Supreme Court of Errors. This follows the most recent decision in this famous dispute over land and water rights In it the Superior Court ruled that the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company could go ahead with it's plans to build a reservoir in the Saugatuck Valley which would mean the abandonment of land now occupied as well as several roads It was this latter phase on which the court just ruled. Judge Edwin c. Dickenson ruling that eleven miles of roadway in Weston and Bedding be abandoned. The two towns had refused to allow the roads to be condemned. AS the court order stipulated the roads will go out of public service on and after Jan. l, 1940, the en- suing year and quarter should witness some spirited skirmishing both in court and out to hold up the water company's plans

Apparently realizing he may have spoken too hastily or taken too much for granted Mayor George Coyle of New Brit ain retracted his order to city employees about not voting for Congressman Her man P. Kopplemann if they were elected delegates to the state convention. It was rather drastic threat on the part of the New Britain mayor and we are afraid it may have done or would have caused more damage to the Lonergan cause than actual good. It was made in behalf of the Hartford senator for whom Mayor Coyle is roofing lustily. We don't doubt but what if New Britain does elect a dele gatlon to the state convention and Mayor Coyle is included, it will swing towards the senator.

They Cleaned Up On His Vision
BY BRUCE CATION

Oscar Lewis displays little re- verence for great names in "The Big Four" (Knopf: $450), his stu dy of the men who built the Gen. tral Pacific railroad. He presents the famous west coast empire builders-Stanford Crocker, Hop kins and Huntington-not as men of great vision, but rather as or dinary traders who got in on the ground floor of good thing in spite of themselves.
 For the Central Pacific, western half of the first transcontinental railroad. was not conceived by any of these men. An engineer named Theodore Judah was the man real ly responsible for it. He dreamed of it, surveyed its route, got the necessary legislation through Con- gress, rounded up the cash, per- suaded the "big four" to get in on it almost against their willard would, almost certainly, have bought the four of them out long before the line was finished, is sudden death had not removed him from the scene.
 The Central Pacific was more profitable to build than to operate. Huge government subsidies, plus the partners canny way of letting construction contracts to them selves, made the job immensely lu- crative. There were obstacles in the way, of course, and the part ners did display driving force in overcoming them; yet the empire builder tradition does not stand up very well under MT. Lewis dispas- sionate recital of facts.
 It all makes an extremely read able book, and an enlightening one to boot The big four were among the last, and most noted, members Of the public damned gang. This account of what they did and how they did it is an interesting proof that the atmosphere of American capitalism has changed for the better, after all, in the last genera tion or two.

BENEATH the STREAMLINING
 (New York Herald Tribune)

The lowing of prize cattle, the wild jungle cry of the blue-ribbon rooster, the warbling of the merry go-round and the praying of the band from the four corners, the evangelical note of the spieler and the clang of the starting bell will all begin to be heard soon, east and west, as the country fair tunes up for 1888. Not exactly for the first trial either, for its one of society's very oldest institutions, adapting it. self century after century, millen- nium after millennium to the visi- ble changes and novelties that an old world loves to emphasize, not its eternities and antiquities.
 The fair is streamlined for 1888, but let no one say that it is decadent in it's modernity abandoned to mechanism and honkey-tonk. Those who complain of its growing vulgar ity and commercialism seem to for get how essentially vulgar and com merc;al the fair has been from it's not its origins, for they are not kg1oWn-but early recorded history. It is right that it should be so.
 With us the little town of DuA- bury claims the beginning of all country fairs. Three hunded years ago this summer, when the incor- porated town was a year old, it showed, perhaps, some of those abundant cattle that caused it's founding out of Plymouth in 1924 superfiuity that Plymouth pastures could not contain and that records, after such desperate hard times as make our recent ones seem grossly fat, the first American boom; John Alden and Priscilla in on dividends of beef, butter, cheese and whole milk, maybe.
 In any case, fair is superfluity and midsummer thanksgiving; a place for excesses of one kind or an- other, of commodities and cash and good humor, especially to boil over ito hell with expense, I'll take five more chances on the Indian blanket . Come Junior, ma will take you on the merry-go-round. Pa and Uncle Harry are going to drink lager beer again. It ain't every year we win three blue ribbons on the stock"
