Evanston Experiments With Violet Ray

to protect occupants with an ultra violet defense. It worked! The light walls were found to be practically impervious to bacteria carried by ordinary ventilating currents.
 It was the Wells findings which led to the tests at The Cradle. Re- suit is that the famous baby nursery may be cradling system which will soon be used to pro- 'tect precious little lives in ma ternity wards throughout the world.
 In two other tests, also under way on The Cradles second story, varying protective methods are being tried. The first unit is more or less duplication of the violet ra ward = but cubicles are sep arated only by glass partitions. Air conditioning gives the only protection.
 In another ward, each baby is isolated in a glass enclosed, air conditioned space within the cubi- cle. Both of these latter, however, are regarded largely as control experiments" to definitely estab- fish the outstanding value of the light ray method.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-03-30

arranged in two rows of six. Be- tween the cubicles runs a corridor. Each cubicle contains a baby's crib; each is doorless, opening directly onto the corridor.
 BACTERIA
 SHALL NOT PASS
 A single wall of light provides the protection between the rows. The sheet-like shaft comes from 8 fiuorescent tube which is stretched along the ceiling. The ray either snuffs out or repels any germ which attempts to pass from one side of the room to the other. But how much protection, exact ly, does the light alone afford? That's the question which has i brought about the establishment of two different technique divisions in the same experiment.
 In what might be called the A" technique, cubfcles at one side of the corridor are arranged in pairs, each two being separated from the others by a glass wall. Down the center of each cubicle, between the two baby bers, more ultraviolet rays set up a shield, separating the two infant occupants of the same quarters.
 Individual cubicles at the other side of the room are divided by glass alone in the "B" technique. A com- parison of results of both these methods will show just how much protection is necessary for absolute immunity.
 A window brings light to each cubicle. But the pane must not be opened to admit outside air. Atmos- phere nthe cubicle is completely changed each 20 minutes-by ven- tilation. Humidity and temperature are automatically cntrolled. l The ultraviolet screens" are not an entirely new idea. At the Henry Phipp institute in Philadelphia, w. F. Wells, assistant professor of sani- tary engineering at the air-borne infection laboratories of the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania, conducted experiments with similar grouping of eight cubicles.

First Tooth! Source of Concern as We'll as Pride
 Local Dentists. I,

Baby's first tooth-the source of pride to the hearts of parents lis the source of concern to the legion of men whose profession is to keep that tooth and the many to follow in healthy and sturdy condition.
 Many illnesses have been traced to faulty teeth, and the health suggestion "see your dentist once year. is particularly appropri- ate in the case of youngsters. Teeth nurtured properly at the start cause less decay and abscess trouble at older ages.
 In order to keep posted" on latest developments of tooth treat ment, local dentists, in addition to their constant personal study, participate in the monthly meet ings of the Waterbury Dental As sociation, at the Colonial room of The Elton.
 Officers of the association are: President, George c. Gibson, vice-president, Max Matzkin; secretary, Frederick Ovens: treas urer, John Aperian.

HOUSING PLANS
 OFFERING HOPE
More Attractive Homes Expected in Waterbury
 Shortly

Visions of lifting underprivileged children from the sluns and slag- piles of Waterbury and placing them mid healthier and more sanitary surroundings are ahead for the members of Waterbury housing commission, who are within $45, ,000 of their goal of $1 ,OOO,O 900 to under take the start of the project.
 Healthy-bodied children thrive in healthy surroundings, and it is the aim of the housing commission to eliminate the unhealthy conditions to which many Waterbury's children difficulties of families.
 $9OO,OOO AllOcated
 With this in view, the local com mission, delegated by the Board of Finance, has had allocated to it., $900,00O, by the federal housing authority. A large stretch of prop erty for the project has been donat- ed by the Chase family.
 Of the $1O0,O0O which must be supplied by the local commission. $55 ,O00 has been made available. The General Assembly recently passed bill making it possible for local housing authorities to issue bonds for necessary funds Within the coming month the Board of Aldermen is expected to act on it's consideration of policy toward the project, with relation to taxation.
 With the completion of~the pro- ject, local families and their chil- dren, will find available to them the most modern and the most healthy facilities, at a minimum of cost. It is estimated that the apartments, containing heat, light and refriger- ation, will be leased for $4.5O per room per month. No family of large income will be entitled to lease any one of the apartments.
 Large, airy rooms, finest sanitary conditions. and consideration of health will the principal factors in the construction of the project. Children now confined to damp, poor ly ventilated, heated and lighted tenements will be removed to the government muncipally sponsored village.
 Environment
 Statistics show that many crim- inals are bred in the slums and poorer quarters of the cities. The availability of. these desirable homes at cost less than that perhaps paid for the present undesirable ones will have an uplifting effect con social conditions, and will tend to elimi- nate such child illness.
 Street urchins, placed in the com- fortable and cozy surroundings of the $l 100000 project, will be given their opportunity to live under cir culnstances the just desserts of every American child.

MUSEUM FEATURES
 DRAW HUNDREDS
5,O39 Attend Nineteen Shows; Interesting Re-
 port on WPA Program

The Children's Museum, operat- ing in the Mattatuck Historical so- ciety building on West Main street since October 19, 1886, continued as an influence for good in promoting and developing elementary science in the. schools during 1898.
 AS part of a federal project, its activities during the past year are reviewed as follows by Joseph Scully in the annual report to the board of education:
 l. Illustrated nature lectures for school children four days per week (after school hours) from October to May. The total attendance from October 4, 1887 to March 28, 1888, was 13,52l.
 2. Motion pictures covering sub- jectS dealing with science, history, travel and comedy. These free shows were given on Wednesday for the first half of the year, and then on Saturday mornings for the remain der of the year. All grammar school children in the city were invited to attend these entertaining and edu- cational shows. Nineteen shows were conducted from October 6, 1887 to April g, 1888, with total attend arrce of 5,039.
 3. Clubs:
 (a) Photography clubs were con- ducted on four afternoons per week for high school students.
 (b) Mature clubs were conducted four afternoons per week for gram mar school children.

Walls of Light Baffle Bacteria, Protect Babies

By NEA Serv1ce
 Evanston, H., March 30 = In this Chicago suburbs Cradle" where many notables have become parents by adoption, science is throwing light on germs-and killing them in the process.
 The light, invisible, but impene- trable to bacteria, is ultraviolet rays, projected to form protective walls in and around babies cribs. It is as hard for a germ to get through one of these light barriers as for mosquito to bite through steel.
 Likely result of the experiment will be a significant contribution to the field of infant care-elimi- nation of transfer of infection from baby to baby through germs borne by air.

How to Encourage Good
 Eating Habits

Serve meals at attractively as possible at a regular time. Act as though you enjoyed eating all kinds O. foods and expected your child to do so. Make mealtime a pleasant time; avoid scolding or any dis agreeable discussions at the table. Do not talk about the chi1d's likes and dislikes before him. Never coax or try to force a child to eat. Give him 30 minutes for his meal If it is not eaten then, take it away. Do not give him food between meals. Do not feed him when he is old enough to feed himself. :,

WARNS CITIZENS TO OBSERVE
CAUTION


John B. Centrum, State Insurance

statement, warning citizens to- OBJ
serve caution during the 4th of July
celebration:
During the 4th of July celebra-

works and explosives. AS result
of ignorance and carelessness, much
property, is destroyed and many
lives are lost annually. ! appeal to
the public to observe the greatest
caution in the handling of matches
and explosives of all kinds. Parents
at this season of the year are prone
to relax their ordinary caution, and
allow their children much more
liberty in the use of matches and
explosives, with resulting property
damage and the loss of life or limb.
1 urge parents to make an effort par
ticularly to supervise their children
during the 4th of July holidays, and
to observe every precaution them

OUR NATIONAL ANNIVERSARY

The Fourth of July, the birthday
anniversary of our nation, is again
almost here-Tuesday next. 1t is a
time of great rejoicing, and one OF
the really great holidays set apart
in our national observance.
The old time celebrations opened
with noise, music and oratory. Much
of the noise making has disappear
ed, and with the general use on
autos, outings have become more
numerous. But whatever form OF
celebration we may choose, let us
not forget that back of all this, men
made such a thing possible by sacf-
ficing their lives, and laid the
foundation of a nation that has en-
dured for 1853 years.
The constitution guarantees TO
every citizen, absolute freedom IN
thought and conduct, so long as ne
does nothing which interferes with
the rights or liberties of a fellow
citizen.
July Fourth is sanctioned by stat
ute in every state in the union as
birthday of the nation. This Is
ample expression of the solidity and
unity that our common country has
achieved.
1t is day of rejoicing; likewise
a day for sober thought, that the
battles so nobly fought and the vic
tories so valiantly maintained shall
not have been in vain.

TURNING TO LEGUME-GRASS
SILAGE

Maryland farmers and dairymen
are showing a constantly increasing
tendency to substitute grass and
legume silage for corn silage and
some have even gone so far as to
say they never again intend to put
up corn silage unless the hay crop
fails. According to John A. Conover,
specialist in dairying for the Univer-
sity of Maryland Extension Service,
there are some very definite, prac-
tical reasons why this change is
coming about.
In the first place, Mr.. Conover
states, many farmers say it is cheap
er to grow and put up grass-legume
silage and they point to the costs
of blowing, seeding and cultivating
corn. While corn gives them great
er tonnage per acre, they point out
is costs mere in labor to grow and
harvest and a dollar saved is dol
lar earned. In addition, the higher
protein content of Legume silage,
about percent as compared with
% percent for corn, permits the
dairymen to feed his herd on home
grown corn, barley and oats, and
thus lower the cost of producing
milk. Farm machinery manufacture
ers are now producing implements
which are especially we'll adapted to
handling silage crops.
