QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

E. B.-"What is it that causes
sugar to appear in a Benedict
test? Does everybody show sugar
at times and how often? If sugar
appears ard then the test is clear
after one or two tests right after
that, is that anything to be
alarmed at? Can something per-
son eats cause a Benedict test to
turn green or yellow and not be
sugar."
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS rcagcnt is
solution of copper sulphate.
Sugar, when present, reduces this
to insoluble copper salt. When
there is a small amount, the solu-
ton may just turn green; some
what larger amount causes it to
turn yellow, and even more causes
it to turn brick red. Normal pco-
pie seldom show sugar even after
very heavy meals of sugar. 1t is a
regular experience with diabetes
that a diabetic may show sugar
after meal and then in the course
of two or three hours not show
sugar. If sugar shows up with any
regularity after a meal it is al
most certain to be diabetns.

Temporary Immunity

Such immunity as is established
in this way is temporary and lasts
in most instances only through one
season. So it has to be repeated
every year. 1t is best to try to
establish the immunity before the

quired immunity is more effective
than attempting to build one up
suddenly although coseasonal pre-
vention is possible. So this warn

This would appar- ently rule out Louis Ciraldi, who has announced himself as candi- date, but would tend to help John w.

 The Republican town committee will tonight receive slates of dele gates to the several nominating conventions.

Hundreds Leaue City
 For Holiday Week-End

Labor Day will affect all of Waterbury's industries, stores and municipal departments, with the exception of the city court which will be in session as usual.
 Supt. of Police William J. Roach pleaded for careful driv- iong and walking to avoid the heavy toll in automobile acci- dents that is annually part of the Labor Day weekend. The chief also counselled parents to warn their children to be care- full in the water and to beware of swimming alone.
 Labor Day night and late aft ernoon were cited by the chief as being especially dangerous, in view of the additional traffic created by vacationists return ing home after the summer.

Police Urge Caution
 During ExpectedRus of 'Home-C Coming Cars
Law Enforcement Agencies Throughout Connecticut Unite in Campaign to Enforce All Motor
 Vehicle Laws

Supt. of Police William J. Roach today issued his annual warning for Labor Day weekend, which he com- pared to the Fearful Fourth" of July for disaster on the highway.
 Supt. Roach said that the throng of returning vacationists takes 8 great toll. Carelessness and negli- gence he called the stand-out fac- tors causing the Labor Day acci- dents.
 The chiefs statement follows:
 During this coming weekend holiday the volume Of traffic will be increased with vacationists going to and returning from vacation resorts and with this increased flow of traf- fic and the dangers resulting from recklessness and negligence will be greatened."
 q urge all motorists of Water bury to drive at a reasonable rate of speed. The job of safe driving is a difficult one and this dificulty will be increased during Labor Day weekend; therefore it will be neces- sary to think twice at all times; once for yourself and once for the other fellow. This attitude of driv- ing will offer some protection against accidents but the great re- sponsibility of returning your fam fly home safely will be resting en- tirely on your shoulders.
 "To the pedestrians-Use common sense. Avoid taking unnecessary chances when crossing streets. Ob- serve the laws of safe-walking and you will eliminate the possibilities of becoming involved in accidents. You have responsibility as great as that of the motorists and that is the protection of your own life Don't neglect this personal respon- sibility by being careless.
 "The law enforcement agencies throughout the state vii lattempt by all means possible to prevent acci- dents and death during this holiday weekend but the job of being alive on September rests entirely with you.
 Observe the rules of safety and be alive on the third"

Atty. Gen. Frank A. Pallotti is expected to make a formal deci- sion, which he will present to Gov. Raymond Baldwin, shortly on the question of whether the dependents of Conn. National Guardsmen, called into active service may, un- der law passed in 1887, receive compensation from the state.
 It was claimed in Hartford yes- terday that the attorney general already has issued a verbal opin- ion to the governor in which he stated that the law providing fol the compensation is "still on the books and that the state will have to pay.
 Lieut.. Col. Ernest L. Averill, judge advocate general of the state has also advised the governor that the law is still on the books and that to all appearances appears to be applicable to the present situation He is said to have also reported that the wording of the bill might be questioned, in that the bill states "guardsmen ordered out, " when actually rather than called out" for service as state troops.
 The sum of $50 a month for de- pendents is specified in the bill. The bill further states: whenever the national guard or other troops of this state shall be called into active military or naval service in time of war, reasonable apprehension thereof, riot or rebellion, the state shall pay separation allowances weekly to actual and bonafide de- pendents of any members of the national guard or other troops Sc called to active service" The "other troops" mentioned in the section were not defined, but can conceivably be men drafted into service since the law may be "ap- piled to any person who shall enter the military or naval service of the

People started leaving the city yesterday afternoon and last night, but the movement did not gather full force until today when extra busses Oper- ated through the city, and addi- tional coaches were added to trains.
 Much of the automobile traf- fic streamed to nearby shore and country resorts, while trains carried the annual heavy load to New York City. The traffic was appreciably thickened to- day by autos which would have ordinarily left yesterday, but were kept back by the poor weather.
