 Leftover economy plays large part in today's home defense pro- gram. There's an excellent new book on this subject called "A Cook Book of Leftovers," by Clare Newman and Bell Wiley.
 Tn the first place" say the au- thors, you find that you save money right at the store Zy buying more than enough for one meal Quantity buying is always cheaper than buying in small. days-to-day amounts. Two pounds may very well be too much for the three of you tonght, but there are more nights than tonight on any good cook calendar
 Secondly, you save fuel by cook ing those two pounds at once. Little more heat will cook the whole batch and then it's done. Cooked meat or fish have & better chance of sur vival than raw meat or fish, since thorough cooking postpones decay! and then they are ready for their new role day or so later.
 Lastly. you save your own time by thinking in leftover terms"

 If you stick to springs old stand. by, navy blue, you can stick to your favorite clear red makeup also, re- solving to apply 1t artistically and sparingly.
 If, however, you decide to try beige or any of the light, widely touted putty shades, solving the makeup problem isn't going to be so simple. Beige has a tendency to wash you out" With it youll need powder with deeper, rosier lights in 1t and 1ipstick that is either bright, clear red or rusty, brownish red. You'll have to remember to apply fresh powder, rouge and lipStick often. In navy blue,. you may be able to get by with being slightly faded looking for an hour or two. Beige is becoming only when the face is freshly made up.
 DRAMATIZE THE CHARM OF PURPLE
 Almost all of the new greens make the skin appear to be more yellow than 1t actually is. Here again, foundation and powder in rosy tones are indicated. Don't, for any reason, be persuaded to wear white foundation film and yellowish powder with Q green dress.
 One of the chief charms of pur- pie as 8 costume color lies in the fact that 1t makes the skin above it seem winter. If your spring suit is going to be purple, dramatize its charm-and your own-by wearing foundation film and powder which are one shade lighter than your natural skin tones. AN ALL-BLACK
 DRESS IS ACHING Contrary to popular miSconcep- ton, gray is not a dificult color to wear. Generally speaking, it's be- coming to any woman, providing she keeps her face and neck meticu- lously clean and wears moderate amount of clear red rouge and lip- stick.
 On the other hand, although it's always in style, black is inclined to be a difficult color. A black dress, l on the average woman, Is more be- coming when 1t has g. white or bright colored collar or something light next to her face. AS 8 rule. an all-black dress is ageing. If you are more than twenty-four, better remember this.

TESTING LANE
 REOPENS TODAY
Second Inspection Period Underway; Delinquents
 Being Checked

The second inspection period started this morning at the testing lane on Thomaston avenue, Robert B. Mcintyre, acting supervisor in the absence of Clarence F. Rob- erts, said today. MT. Mcintyre said that motorists who have no white sticker displayed on their wind shield indicating that their vehicles passed the recent test which ended Aug. 6, are stopped by the local po- lice as well as by the eight inspec- tors from the lane who are on the lookout for delinquents.
 MT. Mcintyre said that they were unable to ascertain how many cars have been stopped during the past week but that inspectors have handed out summons to these drivers without the stickers and or- dered them to visit the lane for an inspection of their cars. When these motorists come to the lane, the inspection slip with the date is forwarded to Hartford and the de- linquents are ordered to appear at hearing.
 The delinquent motorists are ex- pected to furnish reasonable eX- cuse for not having the car tested within the inspection period and if the alibi is not accepted, the mark CT plates are liable to suspension from 5 to 90 days.
 The acting supervisor said the first inspection period was from March 10 to July 31 and the ex- tended time was granted ot Aug. 6, During this time a total of 37,400 cars were examined at the lane, he said.

SENATOR COLES
 MAY BE NOMINEE
Young Democratic Major ity Leader Asked to Op-
 pose Jasper McLevy

Senator Albert L. Coles, Demo- cratic majority leader in the 1941 state senate, today had under con- sideration bid given him by Demo- cratic party leaders in Bridgeport that he accept the nomination for mayor this fall and oppose Mayor Jasper McLevy, Socialist. A reply by Senator Coles will be delayed at least until his return from Knights of Columbus convention being held this week at Atlantic City.
 The popular young attorney. now a city court prosecutor in the Park City, is regarded by political observ- CTS as the strongest candidate the Democrats could find to challenge Mayor McLevy at the polls. The Soc | ialist mayor, who scored majol 1 political upset three years ago wher he boiled 166,000 votes as candi date for governor, will attempt tt win his fifth term in the mayoralt. this fall.
 It is believed probable that Sen ator Coles would accept only if as. sured that primary contests threat ening to tear the Bridgeport Demo- cratic organization further asundel be abandoned.
 The past couple of city campaigns in Bridgeport have been little more than exhibitions, with Republicans and Democrats so badly split among themselves that they were able to offer no serious threat to Mayor Mo- Levy.

WATER SHORTAGE NOT FEARED HERE City's Reservoirs We'll Filled, Capable of Meet-
 ing All Demands

Despite below-nor1nal rainfall, the city's reservoirs are Weil-filled and no shortage of water is feared &C., cording to Supt. of Public Works Herbert Scott-Smith. Rainfall thus far in 1941 has been only three fourths of an inch of rain.
 Supt. Scott-Snith estimates that water consumption here daily is a. bout 100000 gallons, several mil- lion gallons more than the amount used daily at this time last year. With defense production steadily inc creasing in local factories, the B. mount of water consumption has likewise climbed.
 The lack of rain. together with temperatures far below the normal for this time of year, is threatening many valuable crops in New Haven county and the state. Tomatoes and beans have been especially affected, though the New Haven county farm bureau says that conditions are as yet not too serious.
