1O BLOWOUTS'
IN ONE SEASON
Motor Vehicle Department
Points Out Danger OF
Using "OId Tires"

Eighteen tire "blowouts' on the
Merritt Parkway during the calen.
dar year Of 1899 we're reported in
official accident investigation state
ments made by the Connecticut
State Police and filed with the state
department OF motor vehicles. The
danger Of moving at a sustained
rate Of high speed over a dry sur
face In warm weather with defec.
tive tire equipment Is thus empha.
sized.
Interest In "blowouts" has been
developed by tn erecent fatal acct
dent on the parkway resulting In
the death Of two car occupants and
severe injuries 10 four others In the
wrecked vehicle which overturned
flve times after tire failure.
Among the list Of accident
causes" connected with Merritt
Parkway accidents charged against
1899 we're thirteen cases OF "defec-
tive equipment, eleven instances OF
faulty tires forty-seven cases Of
"skidding", sixteen instances OF
slippery surface, eighteen blow.
outs" and nine occasions when cars
failed to stop In time" All Of these
ia causes are Connected directly or
indirectly with condition OF tires
Presumably, tires with O deep tread
will not slide on slippery surfaces az
easily as smooth tire which have nc
grip" on the road surface.
As summer days approach with
prevailing warm weather the state
department OF motor vehicles warns
motorists that road surfaces are
from twenty 10 thirty degrees hot.
ter than atmospheric temperatures
Rubber manufacturers state that
when the temperature Is 100 degrees
Fahrenheit tread wear Is four times
as great as when the thermometer
reads forty degrees and the car u
moving at O rate OF forty miles pei
hour, reasonable average speec
under favorable conditions on state
highways. AS q result, old tires are
particularly susceptible TO veal
through heat developed In friction
with thoroadway and are unsafe fol
use on a trip calling for SUSTAINED
travel. The last ten per cent OF Tire
use accounts for ninety per cent o.
the tire failures Oh the road, &C
cording 10 a recent AAA study.

Inspection Of Camps
Excites High Praise
Organized Summer Communities Rated Highly By
State Health officials For Safeguarding
Water Supplies

Organized summer camps In
Connecticut are commended for
The maintenance Of high sanitary
standards by the weekly bulletin Of
The State Department Of Health
which points out that charity, well
fare, profit and non-profit assocta-
ton camps are checked each year
by the department to make sure
that the health Of large numbers
OF vacationsists is protected while
enjoying the natural attractions OF
the state.
Reports Of the sanitary conditions
found on inspection are sent TO the
camp management and the local
health officer OF the town In which
the camp Is located. Camps are rat.
ed on the basis Of compliance with
sanitary requirements for water
supply, wastes disposal and general
sanitation. Those rated as poor"
are reinspected and improvements
are demanded.
Protection Essential
Water supplies must be from sat-
isfactorily located and protected
wells and springs. Surface water
from streams and lakes Is not used
for drinking at camps, the bulletin
emphasized, but Is sometimes used
as an auxiliary supply for flushing
and washing. In the latter case,
the water Is chlorinated as added
protection. Piping connections be.
tween approved and auxiliary sup
plies are prohibited.
Wastes disposal must be sanitary
At most camps, flush toilets with
sub-surface disposal systems are
used, Outside toilets must be MAIN
tanned In sanitary condition. Gar.
bage and rubbish must be collected
and disposed OF satisfactorily,
Cleanliness OF kitchens and appur.
tenances Is insisted upon, MIX Is
secured from tuberculin tested COWS
and IN all but very few camps, pas
teuriSed milk Is supplied.
The bulletin informed that SAN
ltary inspections also include con-
slderation OF sanitation OF bathing
areas, overcrowding IN sleeping
quarters, general cleanliness OF sur.
founulnRS ana Vic type Va iHeuiSh'
and nursing service, Physicians
and nurses must have a Connecti'
cut license,
Continuous Program
As q result OF continuous pro.
gram OF camp inspection for sew
eral years IN cooperation with loca'
health officers and with the joint
effort OF camp arrangements, II
may be stated that the sanitary
standards OF Connecticut camps are
high, according 10 the bulletin. In.
formation concerning the sanitary
condition OF any camp In the state
may be obtained upon request te
tho local health ofiicer or to the
Connecticut State Department Of
Health,

The one and only reason fol-. not
growing sweet corn In the home
garden Is because the garden Is too
small. Otherwise sweet corn Is the
most desirable OF vegetables for the
home garden. This Is true because
sweet corn Is always best when
eaten Immediately after harvesting,
because the quality and flavor de-
teriorate rapidly after the ears are
pulled from the plants. The higher
the temperature, the greater the de-
terioration. Isn't this q sufficient
reason why there should be O corn
patch In every vegetable garden?
A patch OF six rows. each Is feet
long, need not occupy more than
is foot square. In normal seasons.

The time honored system OF plant
Ing corn was In hills, three or four
stalks TO O hill, the hills about three
feet apart each way. With the

to 8 or IL inches apart In the rows
Is q better plan and produces more
ears In a small garden.
Corn needs to be hilled up be-
cause OF the auxiliary roots that
start above the surface Of the soil
at the lower joints which nature
provides for the anchoring OF the
plant. Killing UP encourages the
formation OF these roots and en-
ables them TO take hold Of the soil
more quickly and firmly.
Planting corn In squares OF al
least four rows so the pollen will
get the freest possible distribution
and produce the fullest ears with
the most kernels on the cob Is the
best plan. Whichever way the wind
blows pollen will be blown through
the square patch. Each silk must
have It's pollen 10 produce a kernel
