Explains Spotty Badness
On Household Linens

Thousands of women who rush
madly to the nearest beauty salon at
the first signs of spotty badness on
their scalps. do nothing whatever
about spotty badness on their
household linens.
Yet this condition is as indicative
Of weak fabric construction as spot
ty thinning of the hair is indicative
of weak scalp condition, according
to scientists in the professional
laundry industry
Furthermore, these estimable gen.
tlemen would like us to know what
causes spotty badness on household
/ linens-because they want us to buy
wisely.
Although spotty badness on
household linens comes from many
different causes, one of the most
common is from selecting fabrics
which depend upon loosen type of
weaving in the pattern than that
used in the main part of the fabric.
! Because knitting is SO popular
now, most of us know how the long,
loose stitches we work into our pat
terms not only snag but wear out
quicker than the more tightly knit
ted background
And, that's exactly what happens
when we select fabrics that have
long, loose stitches in their pattern.
For example: two buck towels
were sent to professional laundry
for testing. Both towels were identi-
cal except that one was brand new,
the other had been Numbered a num-
Der Of times.
The owner wasn't complaining,
but definitely was curious to know
why the colored woven stripes in
the used towel had wore off so
quickly when the main part of the
! towel was still in good condition.
Physical examination Of the tow
/ els showed that the only difference
in their construction was in the
colored worn area of the towel.
Here, instead of the even weaving
! present in the main, white part of
the towel, the colored threads had
been carried over eight welt threads,
under two warp threads and then
over eight again, effecting longer
and looser span of threads in the
colered stripe.
This was necessary to give the
appearance of solid coloring in the
stripe. But, the long, loose threads
were left less protected from nor
NAL FRACTIONAL wear and SO wore off
quicker.
The body of the towel, however,
was woven with the white threads
carried over two welt threads, I'M
der two and over two, which gives
very firm, tight weave that wears
much longer.
So, if spotty badness is present
in your household linens, it is quite
likely you'll find the design more
loosely woven than the background.

Many people seem to be worried
over the disappearance of our land
frontiers. 1t is claimed that this
indicates that we have reached the
saturation point as TO population.
The fact remains that our soil can
yet produce twice its present output.
Science each day develops new uses
for old products.
In these new frontiers lie the pos

Freedom comes with expansion,

SPLIT OF MASS.
 DEMOCRATS OFF

Boston, Feb 21.-(UP)-Unless President Roosevelt seeks third term, Democratic chieftains believed today that possible intra-party split had been averted in Massachu- setts over a slate of delegates pledg- ed to James A. Farley for president.
 Persons close to Mayor Maurice J. Tobin of Boston, who alone had not accepted proffered place on the slate, said that he would accept soon.
 Meantime, District Attorney Thomas F. Moriarty of Springfield declined tie invitations on grounds he was barred by the Hatch law which bans political activity by fed eral employees. Moriarty is spN- cial attorney in the department of justice.
 Naming of the slate of 12 at-large candidates to the Democratic na- tional convention by State Chair man William H. Burke, Jr., had caused threat of factional war. A stipulation that the candidates should switch to President Roosevelt should his name be presented had caused several leaders to delay their acceptances.
 Burke still postponed naming of a slate of 60 candidates by district delegates because of protests against "high-handedness" by a group of state legislators from Boston who charged they were not considered in the selections.

$I75,OOO Damage as Fire Ravages } Blocks, Old
 Fire Station

Greenfield, Mass, Feb. 21-(UP)- Bremen from a dozen communities, battling three hours in a high north wind and freezing weather, early today controlled flames that virtual ly destroyed three business blocks and the old Central Fire station.
 Damage was estimated unofficial ly at more than $175, ,000, mostly cov- cred by insurance.
 At the height of the General Alarm blaze, the tower on the old fire station collapsed endangering lives of a score of firemen, but no one was reported hurt.
 The fire, starting in an electrical shop, was believed under control af- ter the first alarm was sounded but the wind suddenly swept the flames ino a second building.
 Fire Chief Herbert R. Ferris sum- moned aid from communities within 30-mile radius. Apparatus respon- ded from Millers Falls, Holyoke, Northampton, Amherst, South Deer field, Shelburne Falls, Turner's Falls, Athol, Orange, Bernardston, and Brattleboro, Vt.
 For a tir1e, the flames menaced other nearby buildings but these were protected by walls of water. The destroyed buildings housed the Lacroix Electric store, where the fire started, the Alvin & Olga res- taurant, Pats liquor store, Bartlett's Clothing store, Graves bakery, the Simmons Jewelry company, Rita $ Luncheon and the Rose Gardens Cafe.

Moscow, Feb 21.-(UP)-An army communique said today that Rus sian troops had captured the town and fortress of Kojvisto (Koivisto) :, cleared Finnish troops from the peninsula adjacent to it and cap tured Large trophies"
 Russian planes, it was asserted, had shot down AT Finnish planes.

Heavily for tified, it was Koivisto Island. of the coast, had resisted attacks by Russian airplanes and naval and long range guns for many weeks. Loss of the area would be serious blow to the Finns.)
 Articles in the Soviet press said that the successful Soviet offensive in Finland had checked Anglo French plans to make Finland war base against the Soviet Union and that therefore the British were ex- erting pressure on Sweden and Nol- way to abandon their neutrality. In the same articles it was denied that Russia had ambitions in the north Atlantic.

THREE LAWSUITS
 ADJUSTED TODAY

Three actions were withdrawn in the Superior Court this morning.
 One was that in which Ronald Brooks sought damages of $10,000, alleging that Francis Burns alien ated the affections of his wife.
 The alleged alienation was al- legged to have taken place in 1892 and continued over a period of years.
 A divorce action brought by Ray mond E. Fisher against Agnes Fisher was also withdrawn. In- tollerable cruelty was the basis of the action
 The New Yory Life Insurance Company also withdrew its suit against the City of Waterbury.
 The insurance company in the action alleged the city's board of assessors overassessed property owned by it at Bank and Grand streets.
 The assessment involved $163, 800.

LONDONERS FREEZE WITHOUT ANY COAL

London, Feb. 21.-(UP)-Cold and bathless English families huddled in their beds for warmth today and awaited the governments explana- tion of the coal shortage. A
 Capt. Euan Wallace, minister of transport was to explain the situa- tion today and 8 full dress commons debate on the issue was threatened for tomorrow if his explanation is unsatisfactory.
 Chief cause of the shortage was the recent cold wave which tied up transportation. There is plenty of ocal. Miners in some districts work only two days week while in most of England trees and fences were stripped for f1rewood.
 L.aborite Herbert Morrison warned in the house of commons that the most acute coal shortage within living memory" accompanied by the severest winter in many years, is leading to "serious social discon- tent"

It has been a source of pride to local residents working in Waterbury and no little bOasting has been done about she superiority of WatertOwn's atreet department compared with Waterbury's.
