Local }, IBEW,
 N. Y, On Strike

More than 5000 skilled electricians in New York, working for private contractors and other concerns, went out on strike Tuesday morning.
 Harry Van Arsdale IT,, Business Manager of Local 3 of the Inter national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (AFL), declared the walk out was a protest stoppage over a controversy between the Local and the Consolidated Edison Company con- cerning the right of the union mem bers to perform electrical construction work on the new Edison waterside power plant in Manhattan.
 Union officials predicted that ul- tinately the strike might cause a gen. eral tie-up involving New York's 250,000 construction workers.

CITY PLANNINC-I

: The announcement made recent ly that the City Plan Commission has opened an office in the Hall of Records and that a City Plan En- gineer will be employed at least temporarily is sweet music to my ears.
 Several years ago I had the good fortune to serve on this most impor tant Commission as the Aldermanic member of that body. At these meet ings I had the privilege of meeting the Chairman of that Commission, Angus M. Fraser, who in my opinion is perhaps the best informed citizen in New Haven on City Planning. This gentleman has given considerable time to this subject and his efforts to bring at least a temporary City Plan ming Department to our City is a trib- ute to his foresight and civic sense of duty.
 LOOKING AHEAD
 Each and everyone of us must plan our future if we expect to be success full in life. Business and industry must look into the future if they are expected to keep their help employed Materials must be ordered well in ad- vance, rising prices must be consid- cred and in general business and in- dustry must plan their future course of action.

THE WOMEN------------------ en-Age Daughter Doesn't Seem So Extreme To The Modern Mother Who Keeps In Step With The Times
WE, THE WOMEN

AS for her daughters thinking the living room drab and painfully out of date-maybe 1t is. Maybe mother hasn't kept up with modern decor ating ideas, but has stubbornly shut her mind to new trends with the self-satisfied notion that what she thought was perfect taste when she decorated her home IS years ago is still good taste today.
 FINDING HER DAUGHTER
 LESS OF A TRIAL
 And as for young girls critical attitude toward her family -- 1t is usually much too hard and super ficial. But she is at an age when she judges everything by what other people will think of 1t. And If Mama really were honest, she would ad- init that she still has slight tend ency toward that fault herself.
 Any mother would find her daugh- ter less of a trial if sile would make up her mind to try to see her daughters point of view. To do that she must get acquainted with boys and girls her daughters age, read at least some of the things her daugh- ter reads (including the funny pa- pers), listen to her daughters fav- orite radio programs, and occasion ally go with her daughter to see her favorite movie star swish around in her daughters idea of what would ha a Y,at.fectlv suitable dress for the high school junior prom.

When unexpected guests arrive, or the boys from camp come home with their soldier friends without advance warning, don't apologize for the food you have on hand. Make the most of that food by serving 1t simply and well without any att tempt to make 1t look like a dinner planned In advance.
 If you have & few cinnamon doughnuts or can get them at the correr grocer's, split them and toast the split side. Top the hot dough- nut toast with creamy scrambled eggs and garnish with crisy bacon. That makes 8 boundtiful supper also an excellent Sunday special breakfast.
 Here are two more delicious un- expected guest recipes all the family will enjoy. Waff1eS are almost as popular with young people as dough- nuts.
 HAM NAPLES
 Two cups sifted flour, tea spoons baking powder. 1-2 teaspoon salt, 3 egg yolks, well beaten; 1-4 cups milk, tablespoons melted butter or other shortening, 3 egg whites and 1 cup finely cut boiled ham. ....
 6ift flour once, measure. add baking powder and salt and sift again. Combine egg yolks, milk ard butter; add to flour. beating only until smooth. Beat egg whites until they will hold up In moist peaks.

So partician, these draperies top ped with a graceful swag!
 You may make them yourself combining just the colors for your room. Rayon damask in dusty rose for the draperies, rayon satin for the swag, brown fringe for trim ming-thats one stunning choice.
 To have your draperies hang beautifully, correct measuring is necessary-but easy.
 For length, measure from top of window casing to floor, adding 10 or IS inches If you wish your draperies to extend on floor. Lined draperies need another inches for a single turn hem and for top turn-in 4 to ' inches.
 For width, just measure the space the curtain will cover and add 50 per cent for folds.
 The swag starts as a straight piece little wider than your win dow. Slant ends and curve bottom edge as the diagram shows. And, when the swag's lined and trimmed, tack 1t to valance board.
 Our 32 page booklet has exact diagrams and directions for making many attractive styles of draperies, drapery- curtains and glass curtains. Tells how to trim; make swags. val anceS.
 Send 10c in coin for your copy of "New Ideas In Making Curtains And Draperies" to Waterbury Dem ocrat, Home Service, 635 Sixth Ave- nue. New York, N. Y. Be sure to write plainly your name, address, and the name of booklet.
