the dark coats.
House dresses are made of cotton
because it launders easily.
When you're cook, nursemaid and
laundress in one, you get bit
mussed up and washable clothes are
essential.
Housewives are the day and night
laborers of the feminine world.
Oh, don't mistake us. We know
you chose this calling and consider
the smart world we'll lost for love.
But why not be picturesque about
your labors; dress as man does
for a strenuous job or as a woman
does for grueling sport?
Why not stress your eccentricity
that chose a life of toil--lust at the
beginning, of course, while your hus-
bands getting start-with clothes
designed for toll?
That's smart in more ways than
one because smartness in the fashion
sense means suitability.
Smart Costumes
Serviceable.
There are costumes just as serv-
iceable, just as washable, Just as
far removed from the commonplace
house dress and far more suitable
for admitting the iceman or expel-
ling the book agent.
For instance. there are those CAB
ardlne dungarees-pants and wind
breaker-that the stores sell as sail
| ing suits.
Or the Levi overalls that are the
dude ranchs contribution to Amer
lean fashions.
Needless to say, they take to water
like a duck. They'll wear like cast
iron.
They come in dark. practical COL
ors. They let you leap over vacuum
cleaner cables and juniors train
with agility.
In pinch you can even run out
on the street with them. Let your
conscience be your guide here.)
But certainly you can use them for
sweeping and gardening.
For ordinary household duties:
Cooking. doing dishes. bathing the
baby and presiding at his meals
while he daubs you with cruel, why
not wear denim suit?
1t, too. will wear like neolithjr
rock, wash like the baby himself anc
the more it fades the more correc,
1t is.
Dress Down"
Coed Motto.
It's the good old idea of dressing
down to the occasion instead o1
wearing a feminine thing like ar
eyelet dress that looks blowsy tc
begin with and does not improve
with age.
| When you take the children Out
you might think about the vogue fol-
dressing all of piece with them.
To do this you can have a flame
suit and put them in miniature edi.
tions of it, or you can wear a plaic
SKIRT and jumper just like your
daughters.
These, too, will go with the tweed
topcoat.
Then in your time off-when YOU
play with your own friends-you
can be as smart as anybody.
Have one committing costume pe1
season in a dark color. country club
tweeds, evening clothes or at least
dinner clothes and housecoats for
evenings at home and you can meet
the boss wife morning. noon, or
night and look her straight in the
eye.
For instance, you might have some
such lineup as this:
Work Clothes.
September through June:
Gabardine suit (trousers) with
cotton jerseys.
Denim suit (skirt with cotton
blouses.
Summer:
Denim overalls, cotton dirndl in
dark print
Outing the Children Clothes.
Fall and Spring:
Flannel suit. man tailored blouses,
plaid skirts, wool jersey.
Winter:

The Waterbury Democrat., 1939-07-11

Governor Baldwin, on June 19, signed a house bill entitled An Act concerning Identification and repair of advertising signs," which has be- come Chapter 275 of the Connecti- cut Public Acts of 1899.
 The new law requires the com- missioner of state police to furnish with each permit issued for the dis play of outdoor advertising paint ed metal plate which shall bear the serial number of the permit and which shall be mounted on the upper corner nearest the highway of each display board. The serial number plates are to be renewed each year in a color different from the color used in the preceding year. The cost of the number plates Is to be twenty-five cents each.
 In Good Repair
 The new law requires that all ad- vertising structures shall be sub- stantially built, well and neatly painted, and kept in good repair. The commissioner of state police is given the right to cause the remov- al of defective advertising struc- lures and of entry on premises on which illegal or offending advertis- Ing devices or displays are located. Signs on or in railroad stations are exempted from the provisions of the Act.
 Another bill, which has become Chapter 220 of the Laws of 1889, Is entitled "An Act concerning the display of signs relating to prices of gasoline" It requires that on each filling station pump there shall be displayed, on 8 sign not exceeding 126 square inches in size. the retail price per gallon, the combined state and federal tax, and total cost to the purchaser, in three separate sets of figures. No other signs showing sales price or discounts are to be displayed, except signs contained on the face of computing pumps. Signs showing prices of other pe- troleum products are not to be larger than those for motor fuel prices.
 A bill passed the lower house. but was defected in the senate, which aimed to confine the erection of out door advertising structures to loca- tions within one-half mile of places of business in rural sections of the state outside of cities, boroughs and towns.

No specific candidates will be dis cussed at tomorrow nights meeting of the Democratic Town Commit tee, Chairman John H. Crary said today, stating that 1t is "too early" to discuss the makeup of ticket. The meeting will be mainly devoted to the making of plans for organiz- ational work.
 Reports have been heard that a bloc of town committee members wish to place an entire new ticket in the field, but supporters of sev- eral present offlce-holders will strongly oppose any such move. However, no concrete action will be taken for some time yet.
 Friends of Town Clerk Mary O. Kilmartin believe that she is en- titled to renomination. pointing out that she has achieved a fine record in the City Hall and proved a strong vote-getter two years ago. Similar arguments are advanced on behalf of City Clerk John P. Fitzmaurice Tax Collector William A. Ennis and other office-holders

 Frequently Inspected
 At the hearing before Referee Peasley, 1t was brought out that Gervais had a restaurant permit from the City of Waterbury's board of health, and that the place had been inspected regularly and ap- proved by state and local health inspectors. The state referee found that the commission had been in error, and recommended restoration of the license.
 Judge Wynne. in his memorandum of decision, says that only Q single question is at issue, "Is the commits sion, justified in revoking permit on the report of an inspector based on 8 single visit2
 He says that the court should mot be asked to substitute suspicion for evidence" The report of 1n- spector Klein, he says, is not the kind on which to base judicial ac- ton, pointing out that the inspec- tor Introduces hearsay" and "mak- es comments" and that he admitted not checking the restaurant books.

 The St~te Board of Educa- isn of thc Blind, which spOn- sars thc safe of work made by hlirl Daople in their homes throughout Connecticut, does net send any solicitors from house to house taking orders for rugs made by the blind. Word has come to the office of the state board that solicitors are In Waterbury and vicinity representing that they are selling such products. The only way which the state board of education of the blind sells the products of blind people is through sales such as are held at intervals at the store of Grieve, Bisset and Holland, Inc. and at various schools and fac- tories in the locality. Friends of the blind in Connecticut who wish to help them are urged to cOnfine their buying to the au- thorized sales of the state board of education of the blind."

Legislation Restricting Billboard Blight Reviewed;
 License Plates Required on All Structures

natural beauties of Connecticut, we pledge our continued efforts to se- cure the enactment of legislation restricting billboards on State high ways," and while the protection of rural areas from the billboard blight has not yet been achieved, 8 very real step in advance has been taken. The credit belongs largely to 0. Raymond Brock of Hamden, to Miss Mary B. Weaver of New Milford, to Mrs. Joseph Alsop of Avon, to the increasing number of members of the legis- lative who worked actively for the protection of the rural districts of the state from unsightly advertis- ing. and to the many civic and other public spirited organizations which have for years worked increasingly for protective legislation. The press of Connecticut has stood, almost as unit, wholeheartedly in favor of this legislation, and public opinion has been more insistent than ever before.
 It Is believed that the new num- bered license tags, which correspond to the license plates on automobiles, will result in the removal of hum dreds of "snipe" and other signs which are now illegally displayed.
