SHERIDAN FAYORS
 TWO NEW BUMPERS
Fire Chief to Ask Next Warden 10 Propose Idea
 at Freeman's Meeting

Naugatuck, April 25 -- Fire Chief John J. Sheridan anonunced today that he plans to ask the person who is elected warden here on May 5 to lay Q proposal before freemen of the borough at the annual freemen's ineting under which the fire depart- ment could purchase this year two new bumpers.
 The proposal would mean, the fire chief said, that the major cost of the new bumpers would be included in this years budget and that ap- proximately $5,600 would be set aside in next years budget for completing payment.
 MT Sheridan pointed out there is 5000 provided in this years bud- get for new equipment and this would be used for purchase of one and part payment on the other.
 He said such purchase would mean much to fire protection here. Both of the bumpers would be much better equipment than the borough now has and each would be capable of taking care of e large fire 50 that in the event two fires should occur here at the same time, there would be modern equipment available for each fire.
 Chief Sheridan pointed out that the No. bumper was delivered here in 1914, 27 years ago, that the hook and ladder here now was de- livered here in 1915, and that the No. 2 bumper was bought in 1918, all being g or more years old. MT. Sheridan said that as warden he had realized equipment was needed in the fire department but said he felt the problem of provid. ing help and work for the unem- ployed was more pressing, remind- ing that work conditions were bad for several years.
 Equipment for the department is vitally necessary now, MT. Sheridan said, because of the fact that there are a number of new houses here and in addition to protect local in. dustries from fire damage.

Have you ever stopped outside store
and peered into the baby-carriage that
some mother had left standing outside
while she made her purchases? AS
often as not, you've noticed the infant
therein sucking away at a bottle. And
blanket or pillow, so that the baby is
again as often as not, the bottle will
have slipped down from its propping
sucking on the nipple, getting no milk
at all, and lot of air? Bottle feeding
is an art whose technique many moth
ers seem to have given little heed to.
1t really makes difference in the
baby's nutrition, though, and merits
thoughtful attention.
In the first place, laying a baby
down, sticking the nipple in his mouth,
and going away and leaving him can
not be recommended. 1t may seem
timesaving for the mother to do this
rather than to sit and hold the baby
whenever the time comes round for to
eat But it may actually save time in
the end, for a colicky baby who must
be walked the floor with is hardly to be
desired, for his own sake or his moth
eris. When a bottle slips out of place
he begins the intake of air which may
later cause him to spit up. When one
holds the baby on her lap, it is simple
to remove the bottle from his mouth
every few minutes, and, laying him
over ones shoulder, get rid Of any ail
that has been swallowed by gently pat
ting his back.
Another reason why it is better tc
hold the baby while he Is eating is be-
cause it is then easier to see whether
he is getting his food too fast or toe
slow. A baby should not take more
than twenty minutes nor less than five
to down his bottle of milk. If the
hole in the nipple is too small, so thai
he has to suck very hard to get any.
thing, he's likely to get tired out before
his food is gone, and drop off to sleer
without eating enough. Then, before
it's time for the next meal, he gets
hungry, and becomes disturbed anc
out of sorts before his next meal.
If the hole in the nipple is SO large
that the milk practically pours down
his throat, he doesn't get enough suck
| ing exercise. Some doctors think thai

S9,958 FROM
XMAS trees

This year 5s8,952 Christmas trees
cut from spruce swamps on state lands
sWelled the state trust fund by $685.
OF, Ray Clement, Minnesota depart
ment of conservation, announced.
The oldest tree cut was 149 years
old but it was only 2.40 inches in
diameter. This slow growth is due
to the stagnant, acid condition of
the spruce swamp.
The average age of the trees cut
was 88 years and the diameter 2.10
inches. This was determined by incre-
ment borings on sample plots.
When trees do not grow at least
an inch over a period of Is years, the
division of forestry marks them as
definitely stagnant. They are not en-
tered into commercial timber produc-
ton. In measuring trees the forester
always works breast high which is
four-and-one half feet from the
ground.

CONSERVATION
BRIEFS

The water surface of Minnesota is
5,637 square miles or 3,60700O acres or
seven per cent of the states total area.
s&sss
Water conservation controls from 16
to 20 per cent of that received from
precipitation. The remainder is used
by evaporation, infiltration, seepage,
plant life.
A female wall-eye will contain from
$4,000 to 100000 eggs. An unusually
large pike 90 pounds and oveD may

hatch through egg stripping and arti-
fetal fertilization.
The first game conservation law re-
corded occurs in the bible, Book OF
Deuteronomy, chapter 26, verse one.
