So my gospel has always been
that a cold is nice. You can go to
bed. You can feel sorry for your
self, have the family wait on you,
snooze. and have no r~esponslblll-
ties. According to DR.. David Po-
lowe, the best thing to do anyway
is to 60 tc bed for twenty-four
hours, take two warm drinks and
three blankets. So if you go to bed
with your cold, you are doing the
most thoroughly scientific thing.
1t is estimated that there are
one hundred million colds caught
in the United States in the months
Of January, Febl uary and March.
According to D.. :oolowe, to pre-
vent further complications, hit
the hay as soon as a cold starts,
and stay there until you're feeling
tops again. The third day of the
sneezekrieg is the most u%argerous.

STATE SECRETARY

Lacking in VisiOn'' Charges Mrs. WOodhouse
 ==Labor's Pledge Praised

Social gains made during the past 10 years must be preserved, Demo- cratic congressional candidate John s. Monagan declared in campaign address last night over Station WATR.
 In another address sponsored by the Monagan-for- r-Congress commit tee, Secretary of State Chase Going Woodhouse said over VERY that the the Republican party is guilty of Hack of vision and lack of will ingneSs to face a new world in a neW way
 MT. Monagan said that labor should be praised for coming to the fore with assurances that it will cooperate fully in the effort needed to achieve victory. Labor, he said, realizes how important is it's stake in the conflict.
 Ut must be remembered" he continued, that there will be many attempts to destroy the gains that have been made. Re- actionary groups have already uldue dlttllpIo IO uSc IIlc clIlel gency as an excuse to put back the clock in these respects. Of course, certain sacrifices will have to be made The lush days of the re-armament boom are gone. But labor will make the required sacrifices if it can be certain that they are only temporary, if they are assured that their privileges will be restored after the war is over, and that they will have a voice in determining what sacrices will be made and how they will be made"
 Mrs. Woodhouse charged that the Republican party had been as un- willing to admit the approach of war as it had refused to admit in 1850 and 1881 that the depression was a fact. The G. O. P. she said, has refused to recognize changing economic conditions or the geo. graphical changes wrought by the airplane.

JOHN JENNINGS
 FREE ON BONDS
Francis Street Man Faces Fraud Charge Involving
 Automobile Sale

Berlin, Jan. l4-Alleged to have bought car on the instalment plan and to have sold it before even making his first monthly payment, John Jennings of 20 Francis street, Waterbury, was bound over to Su- perior court from the local Munici- pal court Tuesday night under $500 bonds. Also bound over under a similar bond was Walter Warner of West Shepard avenue, Hamden, al- legged to have aided n the deal.
 The specific charge against the men was violation of a statute con- corning the sale of merchandise bought on conditional bill of sale. Jennings is alleged to have bought a car on a conditional bill of sale, to have driven it to Berlin where he sold it to a local dealer for cash He showed the local dealer a statement signed by Warner indicating that Warner had sold the car to him out right, it is charged.
 In court Jennings testified that he had sold the car, using the money to meet some bills, but he had planned to keep up the monthly payments on it. Other testimony was to the effect that after buying the car last August he made only a single monthly payment. Warner said that he had signed the state ment used against him, but said he thought the whole matter not seri- ous but in the nature of a joke.
 Judge George G. GriSWold said that he believed both men conspired to take over the car and sell it for cash, in violation of the law, and then ordered them to the higher court.
