tlcally doubled this year. according
TO a statement issued tonight by
Urban Keolker, chairman of the
chest committee. The Red Cross is
asking the lions share OF the chest
quota this year, the sum allocated
Tor this community being set at $500.
This Is oneIthird Of the chest to-
tai Of $500 which was set this eve
ming. However, in lieu OF the chest
contribution, the Red Cross will not
conduct a special drive in this COM
immunity, but will consider every con-
trtbutor to the chest fund a mem
Der OF the Red Cross.
Other beneficiarieS from the chest
this year will be the Washington
Children'S Home, Salvation Army,
the local Camp Fire and Scout
groups, H-Y, Benton County Health
Council, All clubs, UlSO and pos
Sibly the school cafeteria fund.
The chest committee Is composed
OF representatives from the several
civic organizations In the commun-
ity. Mr.. Koelker, chairman, Is rep
reSenting the Kiwanis club; Olav
Othetm, the chamber Of commerce,

ing week groups OF volunteers win
be given districts for house TO house
callers.
'M each wage Garner win contrib
ute one days wages, we can easily
reach our quota" Mr.. Koelker said
tonight. In the past, however, the
collections have been far below this
figure. In fact the average has
been only about SOC per capita. TI11s
year, the demands are larger and
more important and special ef-
fort must be made to fill the quota"
As before, each business house
sending in its quota win be given
the 100 percent placand to display
and the list Of contributors will be
published in the local newspaper.

OBSERVERS SCAN
 SKIES FOR ENEMY
Only Two Planes Observed Here During Morning
 Watch

Volunteer observers peered into leaden rain-filled sixties today on the second day of the air raid de- fense tests being carried on along the Atlantic seaboards. The local warning center in the Chamber of Commerce building also functioned again today, receiving telephoned warnings from the interceptor com Inand ct New York and gelaying them to nearby towns.
 The only observation post In the city limits, located at the home of Wallace J. Inglis on Baldwin avenue, reported seeing or hearing only two planes ali morning long. One was overhead at 8:i6, another at S:30 but no notice was tele- phoned to New York because ob- servers have instructions to report only when two or more planes ap. proach together.
 The calls from the observation posts about this state are Filtered" In New York and the information relayed back to warning centers.
 Major John M. Burrall, control Ter of the District Warning Center here, went on duty with his staff at 6 e. m. Volunteer observers also went on duty at that hour, at MT. Inglis' home, at the home of Rev. Alfred M. Bells in Wolcott and ct the home of Rep. Charles Harper in Middlebury.
 The tests will continue daily till next Thursday,

AIR RAID WARNING
 SYSTEM IS TESTED

Boston, Oct. l0--(UP)-New Eng lands civilian air-raid warning sys- tenn faced major test today as dense clouds and showers provided 8 natural screen for the more than 100 bombers and interceptors sirnu- lating an enemy attack on the in- dustrially-rich area.
 Good visibility yesterday was a distinct advantage to the volunteer aircraft spotters who are an integral part of the huge network which en- ables the air corps to send fighters into the air to meet enemy" bonb- CTS head-on in battle.
 The radio-locator developed for meeting the threat of Nazi bombers to England was used successfully by Boston defenders last night as bombers tried to pierce the harbor defenseS.
 Only the explosion of bombs and the flash of anti-aircraft fire were missing from the realism of the ex- ercise which took on a spectacular aspect as a battery of more than a score of searchlights with a com bined strength of 16,O0O, ,OO0. 900 can- dlepower ringed' Boston harbor with light.
 Maj. Gen. Herbert A. Dargue, commander os the first air force. praised Massachusetts spotters who telephoned warnings of approaching planes to control centers with efn- ciency and accuracy.

FOOD RATIONINC
 SEEN BY TARTAN

Boston. Oct. l0-(UP)--Surgeon- General Thomas Parran of the U. s. Public Health Service thinks the aa. ton may face food rationing.
 Addressing the American Academy Of Pediatrics last night, he said:
 "To put 1t bluntly, until our pro- ducttoil can be stepped up, we may have to choose between letting the British people grow more hungry, less able to resist, or ration our own use of some critically important foods.
 There is a narrow margin be- tween the present British food ration and widespread malnutrition there, In the interest of their strength and our own safety the British food po- Sition must not be allowed to Worsen."
 Dr. Parran recommended that farmers produce foods in areas TOW growing tobacco and cotton and urged the national production of milk and milk products be increased 90 per cent. He said the nations food production should be 50 in- creased that after the war America can aid starving peoples of all lands.
 Not only is food strategic ma terial for Us in our efforts to win the war" he said, 1t is the sharp weapon of the Axis power. Whoever wins this war, hunger will be the central fact of the world situation" |"

LIFE BECOMING
 SAFERIN HOMES
Statistics Indicate Decline of 4496 in Accidents;
 Many Babies SnlOthered

ModernizatIon of American homes is helping to make life safer for children, according to statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance company. Mortality from home ac- cidents for children under age IS, insured in the Industrial Depart- rnent of the company, has dropped A per cent in the past t5 years. In the period I024-l926, the average death rate from home accidents among these insured children was i5.7 per 100000. By 193o-1940 the death rate had dropped to 6S, not much more than half the former figure, and the lowest ever exper- fenced by this group.
 "This marked improvement re- fleets, in a large measure" the stat. isticians point out, "the increased modernization of the American home and the greater attention giv- en to the care of children. More modern heating, cooking, illuminat- ing and laundering facilities have lowered the incidence of fatal burns and scalds-the leading class Of la tal home injuries among young sters. A reduction in the number of deaths from poisons carelessly left about the home, is another factor that has figured prominently in decreasing the toll of fatal home accidents among children"
 In contrast to this general i'm. provement in fatal home accidents among children, there has been no sign of any reduction in the tragic loss of 1000 infant lives q year through one hazard peculiar to very young babies, namely, slnoth- ering in bed or in the baby car riage. About one in every 2,30O children born suffers this fate from slffocation in the bed clothes, or from lying face down on the pillow, or by the mother rolling over the child in her sleep.
 While the home accident death rate among children has been Stead- fly declining for e number of years, a similar trend has not been ap- parent among adults. In fact, for @ number of years before 1886, home accidents among insured adults were actually increasing, and they are even now a serious mortality problem.
 Through out the entire country, the statisticians explain, injuries in the home are responsible each year for the loss of aEout 33,000 lives, or almost as many as are killed in motor vehicle accidents, and twice as many as are fatally injured in occupational accidents.

RHZEV OBJECTIVE
 NOW OF GERMANS
3,OOO,OOO Nazis, Million
 Rumanians, Hungarians, Italians, Slavs Involved

London, Oct. 10.-(UP)-Authori- tative British informants said today that the Germans were attacking in full force toward Rzhev, 130 miles west-northwest of Moscow in a developing offensive which was eS- timated now to engage 3,000,000 German troops and 100000 Runa- niar1s, Hungarians, Italians and SlovakS.
 The Germans were reported driv- ing on Moscow now from the Rzhev area, the Vyazma -Bryansk sector and the Orel area, 2l0 miles south of the capital, and that gigantic pincer movement designed to over- whelm the city might be in the nlak- ing.
 German reports of the envelop- ment of 70 Russian divisions in the Vyazina -Bryansk area were called preposterous and the belief here was that the Russians were in more danger from the three main forward drives than from "encirclement."
 It was admitted that there might be large pockets of Russian troops in the Vyasma- Bryansk- -Orel area but that undoubtedly the Russians were trying to fight their way out as they had done before.
 Authoritative sources said that confirmation had been received that the Germans had captured Maliro- pol, Baryansk and Mariupol on the Sea of Azov, and this were within 100 miles of Rostov, at the mouth of the Don River, through which runs the great oil pipe line from 1aku on the Caspian Sea.
 It was said that there might be . considerable pocket of Russian troops in this theater of the front.

RECRUITS PREFER
 NAVAL RESERVES
Record Enlistment During Sept. 7; New Men Accepted
 for Emergency

The local navy recruiters today announced that national enlistments in the Naval Reserve during the first week in October had, for the first time, surpassed those in the regu- lar Navy, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox's recent announcement that reservists will be released from active duty as soon as they can be spared was credited with the boom.
 In Connecticut during the first week in October, Reserve enlist ments were two to one ahead of those for the regular Navy, al- though throughout the country the margin was only l0l6 to 1004. In this state reservists were also in the ma jority in September, leading regular Navy recruits 59 to 49.
 According to Recruiters Garry Murphy and Pres on Thorns, vacan- cies still exist in all branches of the enlisted ratings for such men as ship filters machinists and electri- clans. All men who are eligible for selectivc military service may take their choice of the various service organizations army. navy or marine corps = prior to their phy- sical examination for irSuction under the draft.

0ne of the fascinating aspects CT rVNife science"-the finding of facts which seem in themselves to be of no practical value-is the way such facts have of suddenly becoming useful. as witness the experience of a research group at Rutgers uni versity.
 A member of the New Jersey in- stitutions faculty, Dr. Willem Ru- dolfs. was working on the problem of what guides a mosquito to It's victim. Was it the insects sense of smell, hearing, sight, sensitivity to warmth. or some more mysterious faculty that helped 1t locate i'S prey?
 Searching for a clue, Dr. Rudolfs took glass test tubes, putting mos uuitoes and various chemicals into the tubes and. noting the insects reactions. Usually the mosquitoes indicated indifference, or dislike. Rarely did they seem favorably in- clined toward any Of the suo- stances tested.
 one day Dr. Rudolfs breathed in- to one of the test tubes. Instantly the mosquitoes flew toward that end of the tube. They hummed and llovered. In every way they ex- fibited the nyelieSt interest.
 And there it.. developed, Dr. Ru- dolfs had his answer What attracts a mosquito is the breath which hue mans and animals exhale-part of 1t carbon dioxide gas.
 Some time later pr. Rudolfs and his associates embarked on new project, this time very practical one. on an assignment the Ts- search group Huk out 10 develop O hnnarsa percent effective insses
