FLOWER SHOW OPENED YESTERDAY
Continued from Page One)


The Antique section this year
was magnificent, beggaring de-
scription. Every object on view
deserves special mention be-
cause of its history and back
ground. Lack of space prevents
this being done. Suffice it to say
that it is one of the finest ex-
hibits of antiques ever shown
here, and that it contains many
outstanding pieces, including
dolls, FANS. china, ornaments,
laces, pictures, maps, furniture,
and a superb collection of Orien-
tai figures. Mrs. Wallace B.
Kirke and Mrs. Philip Cosgrove
were in charge of the antique
section.
This year again the Flower
Show has a special section for
colored people, and they have
done extremely we'll in the mat
ter of collecting and arranging
their specimens. There are speci-
men plants, palms, begonias
hanging baskets, a few antiques
and some specimens of handicraft
by children, making a good and
interesting exhibit.
The Flower Show will be open
today, Saturday, and tomorrow
Sunday, and it is expected that
the attendance this year will ex-
coed that of former years.

The Rose table this year was
exceptionally lovely. T h e
writer's choice for the foremost
blooms would unhesitatingly be
the immense pink rose in a blue

single deep red bud that closely
resembled velvet, in cut glass
vase. However, many of these
roses were exquisite. Mrs. Cliff

MORE attractive than in previous
years. 1t is a most unusual and
unique exhibit in every re-
spect, and proves of great in
terest to all viewing it.
The Shadow Boxes were
varied, and showed much care
and taste in arrangement. One

tanned a pair of porcelain hands
holding white roses, other had
flower arrangements, and still
others pottery and laces.

usual beauty with Chinese plates,
black glassware, green candles in
black holders and black elephant
figures; a Davy Jones table with
a coral centerpiece, scallop shells,

exhibits being beautifully and
carefully done with a great deal
of taste and originality. The
outstanding exhibit was that of
the 4th, 5th and 9th grades of

NO Damage From
 Quake Found nWaterburyArea

The trenaor which shook Wa terbury and New England at 2:29 a. m. yesterday was stiII . leading subject of conversa- ton today and the tales that are being spun indicate already. that it will be known as the earthquake of 19lO"s and take it's place in reminiscence with such subjects as the blizzard of 'SS and the big fire of 1902.
 Further check-ups today re- vealed that the city suffered no damage, except that to the nerves of those who were reused from their beds by the quake. Housewives who heard their dishes doing tap dances on the pantry shelves and husbands who were sent down to chase away that burglar banging at the door were just about getting back to normal today.
 The starIings, who unfOrtu- nately escaped unscathed, were heading back to their regular percheS, from which they flew away screaming when the earth began to rock gently.
 A Boston seismol0gist said that the quake was "only a bit more severe" than the several others which usually hit New England each year. The center of the disturbance was believed to be in New Hampshire, but the shock was felt as far south as New York and as far north as parts of Canada.

Exposed Wiring in Tree Equipment Cause of Fires Two "COtton Snow Fires" Last Year OCst Two
 Lives; Suggestions for Safe, Sane Observance

Electrical Inspector Martin o. Rourke issued a holiday warning to- day, asking that care be used to eliminate dangers of fire caused by defective electrical appliances or careless use of appliances and toys. 'sThis year let's see if we can't keep all the fire engines in their houses during Christmas week." said Mir. O'Rourke. "So far as electrical haz- ards are concerned, if we exercise a little care there need not be single fire"
 Substitution of electric lights for candles eliminated the greatest dangers of Christmas tree fires, but lesser hazards are nevertheless pres ent, he says, and they should be un- derstood so that they may be avoid ed.

sets become sIaort-circuited. Some times it is tinsel or other metal tree decorations that touch ex- posed live parts of the sets, cauS- ing the short-circuit, and in other cases two live parts of the set itself come into contact. If the set is in proper condition there will be no such exposed parts. and the lights will be perfectly safe.
 If lamp bulb does not fit cor rectly1 in its socket, part of the lamp base may be exposed to con- tact. Foreign made lamps often have long bases which create this condition. Before you buy set, see if the bulbs it properly. Or if you intend to use last years set, exam inc it carefully to see if all bulbs it well, leaving no gap that tinsel is likely to touch. Look also at the condition of the wires. See if the insulation has pulled out of the sockets so as to expose the wires, or whether the insulation has dried up and broken of at any point. If so,- throw the set away and buy a new one. Examination of insula- ton should apply also to wreaths, candles, and all electrical decora- tions.
 "Snow" Fires
 Hast year a little girl in Mount vernon, N.. Y. was using her new wood burning set under the Christmas tree. When she set the iron down it ignited the cotton ln- der the tree. If the child's parents wanted the snow effect, they should have used one of the non- infiammable product available for the purpose. There were two other cotton snow" fires reported last year, both caused by electric trains. The train tracks were laid on cotton and made to encircle the tree. Overturning of the cars caused sparks which ignited the cotton. In one of these cases two lives were lost.
 Electric trains are generally safe under normal conditions. This particular toy employs a trans former to reduce the voltage. In this feature, trains are different from other electrical toys which connect directly to the house cir cult.
 Tn considering electrical toys as gifts to children, it should be re- membered that the same hazards exist in these, as in appliances built for adult use. This is true, particularly of the shock hazard. The part of the toy most likely to cause trouble is the electric cord. If this be of poor quality it is likely to be damaged on sharp edges. It is particularly important therefore that electrical toys be equipped with safe, rugged cords. It is wise to look for the bracelet like label of Underwriters Labo- ratories on these cords. The same precaution is advisable in buying lamps and appliances as Christ mas presents. The safer construc- tion of labeld cords means longer and safer operation of appliances.
 Shock Hazards
 Because of the increasing use of Christmas tree sets out of doors some precautions on this subject are advisable. Shock hazards are greatly increased in the presence of water or damp earth. Be sure, therefore, that all insulation on the wires is intact before installing an outdoor set. Don't turn the current on till all wires are in place. Take care not to touch metal parts when replacing lamps. Use sets specially designed for outdoor use"
