Success
Study Something
Pertaining to
Your Work
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Young people who are building
their careers and their homes need
to keep growing. Too many of them
leave all thought of study and self
Improvement behind them when
they leave school. One can scarcely
blame them for taking a rest after
the grind of study that leads to a
diploma, but the time comes when
rest becomes stagnation and no
young mind can afford that.
The daily job takes heavy toll of
time and energy, and there is no
way out Of that. Honest work re-
quires our best efforts. But every
one of us, no matter what the job,
has time to spare for important
reading. Every job touches great
fields OF human activity or it would
be no job. Then every worker should
know everything possible about his
held. knowledge is power and power
means success and success spells
happiness. Fifteen minutes a day
reading about something related to
ones field of interest stimulates
ones mind and increases ones abil-
ity. That is very much worth while.
There is a place for light reading.
We enjoy pleasant stories, and they
give us relief from strain. I think
the detective story, the mystery tale
and the Cinderella fable are fine for
the evening ride home, but some
thing more substantial ought to
occupy us on the trip to work when
we are fresh and when our minds
are directed toward our jobs.
The material is close at hand.
Trade journals are easy to come by
and they hold wealth of informa-
ton about their subjects. The pub
lie librarians have all the latest news
about industry, arts and letters. and
the librarians are prepared, eager
to help reader find the very thing
he needs. And how some young
workers do need what these books
have.
A woman of experience in house.
keeping asked salesgirl in a great
store for piece of real silk, for a
brides outfit. The material the girl
offered was not silk, but rayon. mo,
I am looking for piece of real silk,

The girl looked troubled. "But
this is silk"
mo, 1t is rayon. I want pure silk.

"Oh, old-fashioned silk? I'm afraid
we don't keep that. We have all
the modern materials you know.
We have some very expensive silk

come this way. = " Beautiful, isn't
it?"
Eyes" said the shopper. That's
what mean. Silk. You see you
do keep it,"
1t seemed incredible that a sales
woman of this generation did not
know about materials, did not un-
derstand about the textiles she was
handling. All she knew was to sell
material at the counter, and draw
her weekly pay. Her interest had
stopped there. The same condition
prevails in many places, among trade
workers, factory workers, household
workers. Ignorance of materials.
methods, results. Vast ignorance of
the history of the work they are do
ing and its implications.
A course of study, of reading,
would open many a workers eyes
to beauty in his work, increase his
ability, double his power and make
him success. If q worker can read,
the world is open to him.

Dorothy Dix Says>>>
Divorce Not Always the Cure.all
For Whatever Ais Matrimony

That divorce is blight on the lives
OF the children whose fathers and
mothers pull down their homes over
their heads, and who are swapped
back and forth between new sets OF
parents until they grow cynical even
in their babyhood, is fact that no
man and woman can deny. The
thought of the wrong they are doing
the helpless little creatures they
have brought into the world must
make every husband and wife who
get divorce-except for the gravess
cause-feel like cutters who have let
down their own flesh and blood.
No, divorce isn't pretty, it is hideous
And if people would only look it in
the face and see what it is, there
wouldn't be so many blindly rushing
into it. DOROTHY DIX,
Evening star., 1939-09-27

Probably there is no other one
thing that needs debunking so much
as divorce. For unfortunately the
general public seems to regard it as
a cure-all for whatever ails matri-
mony. If people could be brought to
see divorce in all Of its sordidness, its
disillusions and disappointments and
its unsolvable complications, there
would not be so many wrecked
homes and scattered families.
1t is this blind faith in the mira
cleworking powers of divorce that is
responsible for so many rash and
reckless marriages. Boys and girls
do not feel that they have to give
any serious thought to picking out
their wives and husbands, as they
would to selecting an automobile
that they had to keep a couple of
seasons. because they think they
won't have to stand marriage If
they don't like it, or If they lose
their taste for Mary or John. They
can always get divorce and every
thing will be just as it was before.
In particular are women the VIC
Tins of the delusion that a decree
absolute will end all their earthly
sorrows. That is why more than
three times as many wives as hus-
bands have their marriage bonds
broken by the courts. Heaven alone
knows why they can so befool them
selves, but they actually believe that
getting a divorce will change them
from being tired middle e-aged women
into gay and glamorous girls again.
Many a women has sadly realized
that when she got her divorce she
jumped from the frying pan into
the fire, and has thought that John
wasn't as nagging and hard to get
along with as Mother is. She finds
out that the woman who has been
head of her own house can never be
satisfied in another woman's home.
Divorce is even more disastrous to
those wives who find out that the
freedom they craved is only the
freedom to go and hustle a living
for themselves and their children,
and who, when they are tired and
discouraged and shabby and poor,
think of the good home they left
and wonder why they ever thought
husbands faults and weaknesses
were worth bothering about
Nor do men find divorce a glory
ticket any more than women do.
They are socked for alimony, which
Is always the hardest of all money
to pay. Their homes are broken
up. Their children are taken away
from them and they have the bitter
knowledge in their minds that the
youngsters will grow up hating and
despising them and that they will
be deprived of the greatest JOY that
can ever come to a father-that OF
having sons and daughters who love
him and of whom he is proud.

holding the poultry limelight now be-
cause of their exceptional abundance.
Fruit supplies for the last half Of
1899, first half of 1910, should total
more than last year. Estimates for
these foods, however, are subject to
more changes than those for most
foods. But the most pessimistic
estimates seem to show ample sup
plies for home use the coming year.
OF vegetables, there's large sweet
potato crop in prospect, a slightly
smaller potato crop than there was
last year. Truck crops are holding
their own, providing ample supplies
of the other vegetables.

ter a perfect one for brides. Those
girls who are having informal we'd
dings have wide variety of choice
and If they are being married at
home in quiet ceremony we be-
ieve there's no better choice than
one of the new and really exquisite
costume suits. However, it is the
formal wedding that reflects the
real air of elegance this year, and
adaptations of practically every new
theme are to be found in the local
shops.
White Remains the
Favored Choice.
Although there has been some
talk Of color, white is still the prin-
cipal choice for formal weddings.
Ivory or cream color vies with stark
white in the bridal gown, while the
bridesmaids are usually dressed in
one color. Speaking of bridesmaids
dresses, this idea of all in identical
shades is new and highly favored
one, and is considered much smarter
than dressing only two attendants
In the same color. We do under
stand, though, that one bride who
was being married in a church
noted for its beautiful stained-glass
windows chose jewel-colored satins
to match the windows for her at
tendants. That is an excellent
thought, by the way. When you
are planning your bridal party, take
Into consideration your setting and
you will often find that some very
novel and beautiful effects can be
achieved.
Lovely fabrics are another indi-
cation of the elegance of this sea-
son, and are especially we'll done in
wedding gowns. Rich satins are
still, apparently, the favorite, but
velvets, damasks and moires are
other luxurious materials that are
being shown and selected. These
fabrics make up beautifully and
conform to the silhouettes of the
moment
SilhOuettes Are
Truly Lovely.
The slim wasted, full hipped
trend is well emphasized in many of
the newest models, and hustle ef-
fects are often used to advantage.
Hoops, surprisingly enough, are fea-
tured, some of them placed high
around the hips, others at the hem.
One satin gown recently seen had
q separate hoop skirt of lace and
boasted a fan-shaped train an

Salad Dressing Tip

When making French dressing or
mayonnaise, chill the utensils as well
as the ingredients before starting
operations. If mayonnaise won t
thicken, start over again with
another egg yolk, add some oil slowly
and beat steadily until the dressing
thickens. Then slowly add the part
that did not thicken, so that there
will be no waste. Remember to beat
steadily all the time.

other popular motif. High necks,
demure and fiattering, are also seen,
and one of the loveliest gowns in q
local shop is of satin with an entire
high-necked yoke of real lace. This
dress, incidentally, emphasizes q
tiny waist by means of small hoops
at the hip line. The bridesmaids
dresses in pink and blue satin are
trimmed with dark lace, and made
along the same lines. The sleeves,
however, are short and puffed, in
contrast to the long, tight sleeves
OF the brides ,gown, and the at
tendants' frocks are without hoops.
In the majority, you will find
bridesmaids dresses made along the
lines of the brides gown. One we'd
ding party featured by a local shop
showed the central figure dressed
in draped white satin with hustle
back, while the attendants wore
Identical frocks of velvet - minus
only the train and long sleeves. An
interesting note of this display were
the feather muffs and hats with
snoods. Muffs, apparently, will be
good, and a bridal outfit shown by
Lucien Lelong was composed of =
white silk jersey gown and a huge
muh Of white fox. This type Of
thing, however, seems bit too the
atrical for the average wedding. and
would require a person who def
nitely knew how to make the most
OF hard-to-wear gown.
Proper Way to
Wear Clothes.
Speaking of the proper way to
wear clothes reminds us that this
may be the only chance we'll have
to tell you about a new modelling
school to be opened here in town.
Miss Diane Hunter, blonde modelling
instructress, is interviewing girls for
the course which will last about
three weeks. Miss Hunter who has
modelled for Patou and Chanel in
Paris, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bonwit
Teller's and others in New York
and who was selected as the fea-
tured showgirl in the last Ziegfield,
will train some of our local lovelies
in the gentle art of wearing and
displaying clothes to their best ad-
vantage. This, she feels-and so do
we-can also lead to buying, styling,
designing and other branches Of
fashion work. incidentally, the girls
who gradute from this course will
be featured in fashion show given
by local shop.

Veal VS.. Beef

Veal should be cooked longer and
slower than beef. And since it has
little fat, its flavor Is enriched by
cooking in small amount of butter

FARLEY FAILS IN
 so. BARRE STRIKE

South Barre, Mass, Aug. 5 - GU. P.) - Failure of state house peace conference at Boston increased ten- ison today here at the scene of the Barre Wool Bombing Company strike.
 Captain James P. Mahoney, di- recting 8 detail of 30 state troopers, ordered regular radio squad car patrols to the village areas where non-strikers live. The patrols will be maintained on 24-hour day basis he said.
 Meanwhile, Governor Saltonstall indicated that he may withdraw the troopers from the strike scene lest their presence be interpreted as a move favorable to the company.
 The conference yesterday, on which negotiators had pinned hopes for settling tn estrike, ended after four hours of fruitless discussion Plant Manager Edward A. Robinson indicated the major stumbling block was the strikers demand for 10 per cent wage increase. He said negotiations were tended" unless a new proposal is advanced which the company might accept.
 Union representatives said that four women whose reinstatement they seek had been discharged be- cause they refused to work under a speed-up system installed by the company.
 Of tlss mills 800 workers, union leaders of the AFL local said 800 are out while company officials place the number ct 200.

LEWIS TEST IN
 KENTUCKY VOTE

Louisville, Ky, Aug. - (U.P) - Labor Leader John L. Lewis politi- cal strength was put to another test today as Kentucky Democrats and Republicans selected candidates for state offices in the first of the off year" primaries.
 Lewis, president o. the Congress of Industrial Organizations, sup ported John Young Brown, attorney for his United Mine Workers Affil- fate in Kentucky, to defeat Lieuten- ant Governor Keen Johnson, backed by retiring Governor A. B. (Happy) Chandler and the powerful state Democratic organization, for the Democratic gubernatorial nomina- tion.
 Four candidates sought the guber- material nomination on the Demo- cratic side and four on the Repub- lican side but pre-primary interest centered on the Brown and Johnson the strongest Democratic candidates Their contest was similar in some respects to a contest which Lewis lost a year ago in a Pennsylvania primary.
 The Republicans were making their first serious bid for the gov ernorship in eight years. The candi. dates were Judge King Swope, Lex ington, Judge John Sherman Coop CT, Somerset, L. O. Smith, mayor of Harlan and G. Tom Hawkins, Praise, The contest was expected to be between Swope and Cooper.

 Readers of the Waterbury Demo- crat, in which "The Washington Merry Go- Round" appears. may find 1t interesting to glance back over the step-by-step record of what Pearson and Allen wrote and what happened thereafter.
 Here are the highlights:
 The first Louisiana column that Drew Pearson and Bob Allen wrote in the MERRY Y-GO-ROUND pointed an accusing finger at George Cald- well, construction superintendent of Louisiana university; at F.

Local Boy Among Four Rescued From Sound
Master of Tug, Cayuga, Comes to Aid of Overturned Boat for Second Time in Week-l8-Foot Sail-
 boat Upsets in Squall Off Sachem's Head
Especial to the Democrst)

New Haven, Aug. 5.-Robert Bar rows, 1T, son of MT. and Mrs. Ed win A. Barrows of 99 Hawley street, Waterbury, and three others were rescued from the waters of Long Island sound by the crew of the tug boat "Cayuga" yesterday afternoon, after their 18-foot sailboat upset in squall.
 It was the second time within a week that the Cayuga, plying be- tween New Haven and Hartford towing oil barges, effected a thrill ing rescue.
 Young Barrows, student of Crosby high school, Waterbury, was one of a party of four whose sail- boat capsized two and one half miles of Sachem's Head. Others rescued by Capt. John E. Bunnell and his crew were Alice Ludlow, II, daugh- ter of Clarence Ludlow, a New York banker, of McGee avenue, Elizabeth, N. J.; Caleb s. Taft, IT, son of Edgar w. Taft of New Haven, Winchester Arms official; and Shirley Smith, 13, of Hamden.
 All four were summer residents of Sunset Beach. Barrows has been staying with relatives from Willi- mantle, at the beach since the start of the summer.
 Captain Bunnel, whose crew res- cued 34 persons, including two Wa terburians, who were aboard the cabin cruiser "Starlite", which over- turned off Stony Creek early last Sunday, said that the overturned sailboat was sighted about 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon by Mate Clyde Gillikin.
 The mate pulled over to the 18- foot sailboat and the youngsters were taken aboard. The Cayuga was towing the barge "Hygrade 18".
 The four children told the captain that they left Sunset Beach, Indian Neck, Friday morning for an excur- sion to Faukner's Island. A squall came up and the boat overturned. Captain Bunnell said that the two girls had life preservers, and boys had none, but all four were cling ing to the side of the boat.
 Taft, owner of the boat, said that neither he nor any of the others had suffered any i'll effects-that they were cold, but not scared.
 Edwin A. Barrows, father of Rob- ert Barrows, an employe of the Socony Vacuum Co., was informed this morning of the incident by The Democrat.
 He expressed surprise and inten- ton to "get on the telephone and see what it's all about"
