for studies have shown that clothes have scarcely thing to do with popularity. Clothes are important of course, to keep in the swim of things; but our popularity depends primarily on us, n9t on our clothes.
 There are two types of persons who should avoid loud or colorful clothes, if they ae to make the best all- around impression, Mildred Graves Ryan points out in her book Your Clothes and Personality:
 Fat people or very tall people are made to seem all the more that way if they are to make the best all- togs.
 And at the other extreme, con- spicuously short people are made even more conspicuously short if they climb inside loud clothes.
 Interestingly enough, the urge to wear loud clothes has been found by pSychoanalysts to be strongest among those who are sensitive about their shortness-the very thing which Is made more prominent to the eyes of others by loudness. An other instance where the cure is as bad as the disease.
 For the great majority of us, there is no reason to fear the effect of color and pattern of our clothes on

Planting of trees and shrubs on Friday of this week is urged by Governor Raymond E. Baldwin in his annual Arbor Day proclama- tion. The governor calls on all Connecticut residents to observe the 18th as Arbor Day and Bird Day.
 The governors proclamation follows:
 "As each day the friendly sun rises and sets further to the north and the lengthening days take from night ver-increasing por- tions of winters darkness, spring returns and gently arouses sleep ing nature.
 AS a token of welcome to the return of gentler weather, I ap- point Friday, April 12, next, Arbor and Bird Day.
 Tt is fitting and proper that instruction be given concerning this day to the children in all our schools. I ask all the people of the state to observe the day by plant ing trees and shrubs ana in other suitable ways to work hand in hand with nature in making our cities, town and countryside more beautiful than ever.
 How pleasant it will be in days to come to point to some grow ing tree or Towering shrub and say: That we planted in April, 1940. Since how it has grown

STICK TO SONC'
 ADVISES JUDGE
Wine and Women Deadly Combination for Accused
 Decides Court

You've heard of the three sirens wine, women and song, haven't you"? asked Judge John F. Me- Donough of William Walker, B, of this city, when the latter was ar- raigned before him this morning in the court of common pleas on 8 charge of intoxication and miscon- duct.
 "Well, wine and women are too much flor you, so you had better stick to song," added the magistrate before sentencing the accused to 30 days in the county jail at New Haven.
 Prosecutor William J. Larkin in reviewing the case of the accused who pleaded guilty at the opening of the criminal common pleas dock ct suggested to the court that the 30 days sentence be imposed on Walker whom police arrested some time ago in company with 8 female in-law with whom he resided.
 Attorney Sidney Cassell, counsel for the accused, in his plea to the court for leniency, said Walker ap- parently is his own worst enemy. Atty. Cassell Said the man is en- ployed as combustion engineer at Chase's, but has difficulty in keep ing away from drink. He added that his client has another charge facing him when today's 30 days sentence is completed.
 Two cases withdrawn from the docket this morning were those of the State versus Harold c. Slater on reckless driving charge and the State versus Alonzo Pitcher, charged with speeding.
