He ordered release from jail when the youth promised he would stay with friends in Waterbury until his in- auction and would keep out of fur ther trouble.

WOMEN MAY SOON
 LEAD WAR PLANTS
Shell Production Factories in Chicago Tank Plants
 Have Great Number

A Midwest Munitions Plant, May 12. = (UP) - Women will soon have 55 per cert or more of the jobs in the shell production plants of the Chicago ordnance district and an increasing number of jobs in the manufacture of tanks, artil- lery and other implements of war. Army ordnance officials said today.
 Managers and foremen of artillery projectile plants said women were far superior to men in assembly work and inspection because of greater dexterity and patience.
 Women on day shifts in some shell plants inspected by reporters on an official tour of war factories outnumbered men almost two to one.
 A personnel director of one plant said thin girls were superior to stout ones because they work faster and stand the heat better, He didn't want cOIIege-educated women and won't hire girls who had had white collar office experience because they were afraid to get their hards dirty"

One-Man "Blitzkreig'

Five Gentlemen of Leisure Rounded-Up By Lone Cop;
 "WOrk or Fight Lecture Given Prisoners

Patrolman Michael Karpelman arrested five men on charges of intoxication after he publicly den- nounced them as "slackers" in Q hallway on Jefferson street today.
 The five, all well known to local police and officials from their rum erous arrests as vagrants and drunks were said by Patrolman Karpelman to have been drinking cheap liquor and wine when he found them. They will be arraigned in municipal court tomorrow.
 Fellow officers who were called to Jefferson street to pick up the mem in the patrol wagon quoted Patrolman Karpelman as saying,
 There are lot of Waterbury boys in Australia and on other bat tie fronts and you don't have the decency to help them in any way. Why you won't even go into fac- tory and make shell or a bullet for them - even though you'd get paid for doirg it." Patrolman Karpel- man has son in the army and it is believed he is with a unit in Australia.

MAYOR MUST NAME NEW CITY CLERK
Charter Mandatory Re- garding FulI-Time Inc
 Cumbent

Disclosure that city charter pro- vision makes the city clerkship a full-time job today served to end speculation that City Clerk Joseph M. Shea, soon to be inducted into the U. s. army, might be given a leave of absence. Under the charter, there is no choice but for the city clerk to resign and Mayer Vincent A. Scully to appoint successor.
 Section 163 of the city charter is SO bluntly worded that it leaves no room whatever for doubt. It states: Said clerk shall devote his entire time to the service of the city and shall have no other occupation dur ing his term of office"
 Friends of MT. Shea had been in hopes that a method might be found whereby he could retain his city post while serving in the army. However, the charter makes this impossible.
 The city clerks resignation will undoubtedly be withheld until he has been formally accepted by the army, since there is always the pos- sibility that he might be rejected by the army's examining doctors.
 MT. Shea is one Of the quota from Board l6-B which will leave Wa terbury soon for an army reception center. He was transferred to the IA classification from i-B.
 The city clerk was rendered a testimonial dinner by city hall friends last week. and will be hon. ored at another dinner Thursday night at The Elton.

To save every cents worth Of fat you pay for. learn how to clairfy your deep frying fats, and those from drippings pan, soups, stews, etc. What you do not use for your own domestic needs, give to Uncle Eam's national fat caldTon for use in making munitions.
 To clarify fat. use either of these two tested methods recommended by experts: Measure fat to be claTi. fled. Add to 1t an equal amount of water. Boil few minutes until fat melts. Stir occasionally and then strain through several thicknesses of folded cheese cloth. When fat Is cool and has hardened. remove the solid layer of fat and scrape on any particles Of meat or skin that have adhered to it.
 Second Method
 The other recommended method Of clarifying fats Is this: Cut up fat to be clarified Into small pieces. For each pint of cut up fat labout 1 lb.) use medium raw potato. Cut poe tatO into thin slices. Add to fat. Heat gradually until potato Is browned and fat is bubkling. strain the fat through several folds Of cheese cloth. Cool and store fat. The potato absorhg some of the fat flavor and also collects some of the sediment.
 To prepare the fats which you are giving to the Governments war program. strain fats from dgippings pan and deep fats you will not use anymore into q aspotIessly clean wide-

 Rightly and wrongly, women are wearing so many bows in their hair nowadays that it's time every charm seeker made up her mind on the subject.
 The Fifth Avenue hair stylist who started booming bows three years ago is custom making more of them than ever today for her smart clientele.
 She reminds us that a bow in the dresses is as natural ard in- fallible an adornment for women as perfume. From exquisite French ribbons and other fine ones which she designs and has made here, she fashions astonishing. imagtra- tive things. Her collection ranges from smallest bows of plaid taffeta that look like a yellow butterfly, to a lei of black velvet bows strung together so that they can be wound around the head or the waistiine, with great chic.
 But, alas, bows are like perfume in more ways than enc. A mis- used bow, like a misused fragrance, undoes at enc stroke the total effect of much natural charm and careful grooming.
 For instance. the No. example: metallic and ceilophane-like lace bows on office-bound girls. They positively blind the rush-hour subway riders, and I can't recall when I've seen a beauty-fad that proclaims SO loudly the wearer's ig- norance Of the first rule of charm ing dress n appropriateness.
