New Evening Gowns
Restore 'Can.Can'
Atmosphere

TIA ra ra, boom decay -"
Visions Of gas-lit stages, chorus
boys in checkered suits and the
famous "Can-Can Chorus"
These are the things that auto
matically come to mind when you
see the newest evening gowns, for
they are adopted from the famous
sensation Of the nineties-the Can
Can"
These dresses are just another ex-
ample of the trend to revive fashions
Of grandmother's day, and along
with muffs, heavy jewelry and mari
bou trimming they have taken their
place in modern fashion.
Famous during the handlebar-
mustache- -and-fancy-vest era, this
chorus achieved eternal recognition,
for they were the famous entertain
ers who kicked up their skirts to dis
play rufled petticoats beneath. Our
newest evening gowns should create
the same sensation, for they are
charming and simply cut, with
rufaed petticoats that swish and
rustic when you dance. Many of
the styles are in velvet with taffeta
petticoats, while others initiate the
originals in striped satin with up
side-down ruffles on 1900-type slip.
All are really charming.
Interest was centered in these
gowns through the Ballet Russo,
which featured the "Can-Can
Chorus" and now we have adopted
them to suit our present needs. Just
another return to the Victorian era!

The newer turbans of this type
will be spotted by their unique and
interesting crowns. In a recent COL
lection we found four crowns that
have taken so well that the designer
is doing similar styles for his South
ern wear. One was the slightly hared
pill box, draped into a large center
button over the crown. Another
had spiral twist of the pleated
jersey extending skyward over the
crown. A youthful high crown of
felt was tied in the middle like a
paper bag, and still another gained
distinction with big wired bow in
contrasting color. These are the
little details that set your hat apart,
and give you that Partisan air of

We have talked with the buyers

State To Scrutinize
 Swimming Pool Plans
Sanitary Code to Be Rigidy Enforced-Types of Water Used Must Also Measure Up to Specifications

In the future, not only will plans for the construction of a swimming pool have to receive the approval of the State Department of Health but artificial out-of-door bathing places created by constructing dams for impounding surface water will have to be built at locations ap- proved by the local health officer of the town, city or borough in which it is situated, the department an- nounced in its current weekly bulle- tin.
 Three Amendments
 The requirement for approval by local authorities of the type of out door bathing place which has come into increasing use in the state in recent years is one of three amend ments to the section of the State Sanitary Code pertaining to swim ming pools. Other changes made in the section by the Public Health Council involve revision of the bacterial standards for swimming pools with controlled water supply, in accordance with recent report of the Joint Committee on Bathing Places of the American Public Health Association and the confer ence of state sanitary engineers, an dan increase from 72 to 78 de- grees as the maximum permissible temperature for heating artificial swimming pools.
 AS used in the Sanitary Code, the term pool" means a structure of concrete, masonry or other relative ly imperviouS material intended for

 He was admitted yesterday morning after falling at his home. It is reported that he suffered a punctured lung and several fractured ribs.
 Charles Boyce, 34, of III Bank street was reported as in im- proved condition. It is reported that he swallowed a quantity of poison yesterday morning. He responded readily to treatment after having been brought to the hospital by Officer James Stack.

bathing or swimming purposes, To- cated either indoors or outdoors, provided wit Ina controlled water supply, and used by any consider able number of persons other than the immediate family of the owner or proprietor. The term artificial bathing place" means an artificially constructed impounding basin for surface water which is to be used for bathing or swimming by any considerable number of persons other than the immediate family of the owner or proprietor. Locations of the latter type must be approved by the local health officer, with con- sideration given to the amount of diluting water available in dry wea- ther, an important factor in sani- tation.
 Regulations
 Regulations governing swimming pools, in addition to those regulat- ing bacterial count, temperature, alkalinity and the like, include the requirement. that the water shall be sufficiently clear to permit a black disc six inches in diameter on a white field, placed on the bottom of the pool at the deepest point, to be clearly visible at distance of 25 feet when the surface of the water is undisturbed. Other provisions re- fer to the cleanliness and ventila- ton of dressing rooms, toilet rooms, railways, shower and other rooms; to the banning of combs and brushes for common use; to facili- ties to protect the water against un- necessary sputum contamination; tc bathing with soap and water before entering the pool; to safeguarding against accident and drowning; and to the washing of bathing suits and towels with soap and hot water nd to their thorough rinsing and dry ing.

Arraignment in future sessions of local traffic court now carries with it definite threat of drastic pun ishment for offenders. It will rest with the discretion of Judge John F McGrath or Edward Mascolo to recommend the suspension of a drivers license. Considerable lati- tude will be allowed the judges in finding cause to advise revocation of permits.
 That the state motor vehicle de- partment, which heretofore has re- served the privilege of passing final judgment on suspending licenses is in full accord with the proposed plan may be gleaned from the fol- lowing announcements:

Alderman Kingston Gets Information on His Honor's
 Decision to Disapprove Sweeping Investigation

tion was adopted with the Repub- lican majority forcing through ap- pointment of a committee, appoint ed finally by Aldermanic President Patrick M. Perriello as follows: AL dermen Kingston, Kelly, Burton H. Walker, Peter J. Griffin and William Kolbeck.
 Based on the contention that such an investigation would result in economy measures" the committee was empowered to enter and inspect operations in all city departments, to summon employees before it. com- pei the production of records in man. ner similar to the current grand jury proceeding.
 Declared Illegal
 Result of private caucus of the Republican aldermen, the proposal developed considerable controversy at the last meeting with no decision resulting from the contention by the Democratic leader that the resolu- ton was illegal. Fact that the con- mittee apparently had failed to start its investigating" pointed to the supposition that the Republicans were not sure of their legal rights in the matter.
 In line with several proposals made since the aldermanic board counted its first Republican major ity in some time, the resolution was based on matters publicized by Re- publican organization newspapers as emanating from the office of Controller Sherwood L. Rowland. One of Alderman Kingston's con- tentions related to expense to the city of privately owned cars.
 The controller had furnished a picked table of comparable figures from such cities as Bristol, New Haven, Stamford. not citing Bridge port or Hartford. This table showed that certain officials in Bristol were allotted 2 cents a mile to operate their cars on city business and it was pointed out that such procedure in Waterbury would cost the city about double its present expense, in some instances.
 Costly Experiment
 In other instances his table showed that officials used city-owned cars and it was remarked at later meeting of the board of finance that this had been tried in Waterbury and the experience was unfortunate and costly.
 To pass the proposal of the Re- publican aldermen over the veto re- quires two- third vote. The person. mel of the board includes eight Republicans and seven Democrats.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-22

Veto of the Republican aldermen's proposal to investigate all city de- partments was given by Mayor Frank Hayes to City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice week ago but was not made public because it is in the form of 8 communication to the board of aldermen. However, on question by Alderman George l.. Kingston, Republican floor leader, the city clerk told the aldermen that he had 8 copy of the veto message but could not reveal its contents ex- cept at the meeting of the full board scheduled April 4.
 Power Questioned
 The matter of the investigation was contested at the meeting of the aldermen two weeks ago when Dem ocratic Aldermanic Leader Thomas P. Kelly questioned the power of the board to delegate power to 8 committee. Despite this, the resolu-
