HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Lengthen Life of Towels.-Ma-
chine piece of tape along each
side of your roller towels before
you use them.
Frosting Windows.-An inexpen-
sive way of frosting the cellar
windows to insure more privacy
is to dissolve one-half pound of
EPSON salts in two pints of water
and paint over the inside of the
window with this liquid.
When Washing Silk Stockings
Slip on pair of rubber gloves
when washing stockings. There
will then be no danger of catching
the silk and causing ladder.
Stiff. Curtains.-To stiffen net or
marquisette curtains take 5 cents
worth of gum arabic, soak it in
three quarts of water overnight
and use instead of starch.
Sun Ruins Mirrors.-Place mir
rors in a position where the sun
will not shine on them for any
length of time. Heat causes the
quicksilver on the back of a mir
ror to crumble.
Testing a PillOw.-One test of
good pillow is to press it in the
center; the more quickly and fully
the pillow comes back to it's origi-
nal shape and size, the better are
the feathers.
Brighten the Window SILL
Small paper doilies placed under
porcelain plant pots keeps the
window stills clean and helps to
prevent marks on the paint.
+
A Bit Ahead.-Call the children
for their meals little before
time so they have an opportunity
of washing their hands and faces
without holding up the dinner.

stood at the door, but the echoing
hall within was that of a house
whose owner has gone abroad. Fur
niture and pictures were shrouded
and carpets rolled, but the marble
floor was spotless and there was no
sign of dust.
We passed up glorious staircase,
the carpet of which was gone, by
draped or hooded statues and sheet
ed tapestry, to enter a sunlit gal
lery down which three four-in-hands
could have passed abreast. At the
gallery's farther end a woman-serv-
ant was standing beside door. To
her I was delivered and at once
she ushered me into a drawing
room. This was small and stiff, but,
though it showed no sign of having
been lately used, it's furniture was
not shrouded and a carpet covered
the floor.
The woman, who looked very
sour, addressed me in German and
indicated chair, and, when I had
taken my seat, she passed to an
other door. AS she opened this, I
saw that it gave to a passage some
six feet long. She closed the door
behind her as though, I thought,
she was happy to shut me out, and
I can only suppose that I looked as
much out of my depth as indeed I
felt. Within 80 seconds, however,
the door was opened again, and she
beckoned to me to approach. AS
I did so, saw that a second door
was now open at the farther end of

AS to smell and taste, fish GER

the taste.
But to determine accurately how

 Suspensions

The closing of a North Elm street "club," which police alleged was a gambling house, was ordered by Judge Theobald E. Conway after a hearing in city court today. He granted the alleged operator and five alleged frequenters suspended sentences, on provision that the club be closed today.
 Nicholas Gaggiano, 22, of 87 North Main street. was arrested as he en- tered the city court room this mor1l- ing. Lieut.. Patrick Hobart placed against him a charge of keeping a gambling house.
 Lieut.. Hobart and Officer Joseph Cavanaugh arrested the five other men in raid on the clubrooms last night
 Caggiano claimed today that he and the others had formed the club so they would not have to congre- gate on street corners. Another club in the neighborhood, he said, from which they resigned, is essentially gambling house.
 The alleged frequenters were John Silvestro, 27, of 124 Savings street; Sam Inparto, 26, of 36 Spring street; Carmine Azzara, 21, of 72 High street; Raymond Mitchell, 30, of 106 North Elm street, and Patsy Sanzine, 22, of 79 Kingsbury street.

Add unusual occurrences: Police Superintendent William J. Roach today received a letter from e motorist who said he was glad he had been halted by 8 motor pa~ trolman.
 Veteran policemen wouldn't be- Iieve it until they actually read the missive. Even then, they cons tinued to shake their heads fn wonderment, figuring that perhapA the millenuim had arrived.
 The letter said:
 Dear Superintendent,
 I was told by one of your motor patrolmen at noon today to pull over after I had passed a long line of cars, including the patrolman's. It is not my habit to do this, but, however, one slip means a life sometimes, SO want to congratulate your man. In telling why he stopped me he said that if we motorists didn't cooperate we'd never get rid of the terrible accident rec ord. I thanked him."

Citizens Committee Seeks Liquor La1u Enforcement Objectives of New Organization Include Focuss- ing of Public Opinion on Present Laws, Opera
 tion-Institute Director Sturges Approves.

Creation of the Citizens Commit tee of Connecticut - designed to focus public opinion upon the con- duct of the alcoholic beverage 1n- dustry and the enforcement of con- trol laws in the state - was arl- nounced here today by Donald North, prominent New Haven insur- ance man and acting chairman ot the organization committee. Mrs. Jeane Nesbit Hurd, outstanding New Haven club woman, is acting secre- tary.
 The committeee, already embrac- ing several hundred members in five out of eight Connecticut coun- ties, will be statewide so that the force of informed public opinion may be registered in all communi- ties.
 ''Wets" Nor 'Drys'
 The committees intention is that its members shall speak neither for the vets nor for the prohibitionists, but to bring about such conditions in the conduct of the alcoholic bever- age industry and law enforcement as to make the legalized sale of alco- holic beverages meet the settled con- victions of the majority of Con- necticut citizens.
 Formation of the Citizens Con- mittee was the outgrowth of sug- gestion made by Dr. Wesley A. Sturges, Executive Director of the Distilled Spirits Institute. The Citizens Committee has accepted the cooperation of the Institute in its new undertaking, with the under standing that the committees &C., tion shall be entirely independent. Cooperation of legitimate groups within the alcoholic beverage in- dustry in Connecticut will also be accepted because of the belief of the Citizens comimttee organizers that the alcoholic beverage indus try should be as much interested in the establishment of stable con- ditions as any citizen of Connecti- cut. Individuals or individual firms engaged in the alcoholic bev- craze industry will not be eligible for membership.
 Cooperation with public officials will be the primary objective of the Citizens Committee of Connecticut It is the feeling of those who have sponsored and launched the com mittee that officials charged with the enforcement of control laws often lack the funds and facilities to determine how their statutes and regulations are being obeyed.
 Citizens in any given community are it is thought, seldom in doubt as to such matters so that they can serve as an auxiliary aid to off cials to bring about enforcement which will rise above juStifiable criticism.
 Violations Noted
 Charter members of the Citizens Committee hold to the view that there are social aspects of the alco- holic beverage industry which must be met and cured now before they become forces that will make legalized control obnoxious to Con-

necticut citizens. They have evi- dence of violations such as sales to minors, observance of the hours of sale and immoral conditions in connection with some retail outlets which, they feel, must be corrected. They believe that sufficient grounds for action now exist, and that in trying to remedy this situation they should and will have the coopera- tion of those engaged in the sale of alcoholic beverages who are inter- ested in operating a legal business in legal way.
 The specific objectives of the Cit- izens Committee of Connecticut as set forth in the articles of member ship are:
 CD By giving consideration to the qualifications of persons who shall apply to the Liquor Control Com misison for authority to engage in the business of producing and, or selling alcoholic beverages in this state and presenting by due course of procedure pertinent facts relat- ing thereto before the Liquor Con- trol Commission for its aid in act ing upon the applications of such persons;
 CD By cooperating with the public authorities to improve the enforce ment of said laws by the proper agencies, against those who may be guilty of violation of those laws;
 (3) By studying the laws of this State relating to the production. sale and taxation of alcoholic bev- erages with 8 view of submitting to the Legislature pertinent amendments of existing laws and other proposed legislation for the regulation and taxation of the pro- | duction and sale of alcoholic bev- erages in this state which are deemed desirable for the public well fare o fthe state;
 (D By cooperation with the such practices within the business as will best serve the social and economic welfare of this State.
 MT. North, acting chairman Of the committee, in a statement ac- companying the announcement of it's organization said:
 Responsibility
 ''The citizens of Connecticut have, in my opinion, not only right but the responsibility of letting the alcoholic beverage industry and public officials knew how they ex- pect the industry to be conducted in this state.
 "The mere fact that we have con- trol laws has not solved all of the problems which have arisen and may come to light in the future.
 "The Connecticut Citizens Com mittee wants to cooperate with the industry and public officials to- ward the improvement of existing conditions surrounding sale and enforcement and making control laws as nearly perfect as possible.
 'This is not a prohibition nor g wet movement. It is not designed to be punitive. It has in mind as l it's objective only the best interests

of all those who live in the state of Connecticut.
 'The members of the Citizens Com mittee fool neither the industry nor public officials can knew what the residents of this state want the liquor industry to be unless those citizens say plainly and openly what they expect.
 Sturges Comments Expressing the conviction that the alcoholic beverage industry needs active public interest in it's affairs to aid in the improvement of condi- tions within tand without the in- dustry, Wesley A. Sturges, Execu- tive Director of the Distilled Splr- its Institute today welcomed the formation of the Connecticut Citi- zens Committee, and organization founded for the express purpose of applying the force of public opin- ion in flat state upon the alcoholic beverage problem.
 Repeal of the Eighteen Amend ment and, in fact, the very lan- guage of the Twenty-First Amend ment implied responsibility on the part of the citizens in each of the state to control the future of the alcoholic beverage industry" said MT. Sturges.
 T am delighted that citizens of Connecticut have seen fit to adopt such a program. I know that in that state and in many others there is a job to be done. The Indus try alone connot do it. Law en- forcement officials need help to be successful. Residents of any com munity furnish the link needed to complete the chain of adequate ob- servance of existing control laws and the improvement of such statutes. The Citizens Committee Plan is, I believe, feasible to
