Labor Increasing Throgh ouState

A definite shortage of both
male and female workers is
being felt i'm the war work
plants of New Haven, Hart
ford and Bridgeport and
the state of Connecticut has
reached rock bottom i'm its
search for available labor, ac-
cOrding to a report by William
G.. Ennis, director of the State
Office of the us. Employment
service.
FEW MIGRANTS
Not only do reports from all Sec
tiOns of the state indicate job or
ders far i'm excess of available
registrants, but out-of-state workers
have shrunk to mere trickle be-
cause of the transportation and
housing shortage, said Ennis.
s''There were few reports Of lay
offs because of material shortages,
and many areas including New Ha-
ven Bridgeport and Hartford re-
port they have reached their peak
payroll figures"
Several companies are now MAX
ing use of s'pooled interviews" con-
Quoted in New York, Boston and
other cities where the labor short
ages are not as great as in Con-
necticut. This method of increasing
the Connecticut labor supply is
limited, Ennis declared, because of
the housing shortage existing i'm
this state.
NEED MORE WOMEN
Pre-employment training courses
have fallen off i'm most areas. The
Employment Service Director ex-
pressed the opinion that the only
method of filling these classes now
{. is by the recruiting of women not
ordinarily interested i'm pre-employ-
ment training. Meriden and New
Britain have begun local recruiting
campaigns and have had measure
of success i'm this direction, said
Ennis.

FEDERATION SUPPORT

"The Connecticut Federation of
Labor, of which l have the honor to
be vice-president, at its last con-
vention broke all precedent over the
issue of Governor Hurley. 1t unani-
mously adopted resolution praising
the Governor for his nationally ia
nous Compact for Victory under
which, for the first time in its his
tory, labor and management agreed
to let the Governor handle any dis
pute which might lead to a work
stoppage The Convention unanimous
ly praised the Governor for recogniz-
ing labor in his official appointments.
You must remember that the State
Federation of Labor is a non-parti-
san body. Never, in its Sc years of
history, has it ever accorded a Cover
nor of Connecticut so much praise.
Throughout the state, people out

united behind Bob Hurley. can tell
you why in one short phrase: He is
one of the people.
1--WE know that the Governor is in
the State Capitol representing US
the so-called little people. He is not
representing the powerful public util-
ity interests, the insurance companies,
or the great manufacturers. He knows
that they have an important part to
play in our economic life; that Con-

Nations to win; and to guarantee that
after the war we shall not return to
the old days of dog eat dog, and let
the devil take the hindmost.
s'This is President ROosevelt's
program, and this is Governor Hur-
ley's program. That's why we want
Bob Hurley reelected. He has not
confined himself to words. He is
nationally known as COnnecticut's
War Governor, and instead of Civ
ing some form of lip service to the
President, is proving by deeds that
he is 100 per cent behind the presi-
dent, with no butts added.

Dr. R. H. Ecker, Jr., of New York won the worlds championship Mas terS individudal tournament in 1888, but 1t was not until a short time ago that he acquired the title of Life Master No. 30. He acquired the needed 260th point by converting 100 Rating Points.
 Sitting North in tooday's hand, Dr. Ecker certainly had to take his life in his hands to make the contract. The opening lead was won in dummy with the ace of spades. Ecker began to cash his diamonds, but discovered at once that West held a stopper. How could the contract be made? Even if the clubs were solid, dummy would have two losers. Ecker de- cided that he would have to trust to the queen of clubs to drop in two leads. He boldly cashed his third top diamond, discarding the seven of spades. Then he led a heart and finesse the queen. Had the finesse lost, the defenders could have picked up the queen of spades and cashed their whole suit, besides the diamond jack. But happily the finesSe won, the club queen dropped, and dummy lost merely the queen of spades on the thirteenth trick.

Consumers Column A Few Questions, Am swers to Settle New Credit Regula-
 tions in Your
 M i n d.
Dear Homemaker:

Dear Homemaker:
 Today we'll talk about all this new business about charge accounts and time payments. Perhaps you are as confused as I've been.
 Question: When did the New Government credit regulation be- come effective.
 Answer: On May 9th, 1922 reg ulation w. in revised form, became effective.
 Question: When is my present thirty day account duep
 Answer: Your charge or 30 day account is due and payable in full as always on the 10th of month fol- lowing the date of purchase.
 Question: What then is changed regarding my charge account under the New government regulation?
 Answer: The Federal Reserve Board now requires that your charge account must be paid in full not la ter than the 10th of the 2nd calen- dar month following the month in which purchases were made, other wise a 30 day account Is in default" In other words any merchandise charged to a 30 day account prior to June 1st that is not paid by July 10th would cause your account to be in default.
 Question: What happens when my account is in default?
 Answer: The Regulation says that no further charges to your account of listed items are possible until this balance is paid in full, or until you have "cured" the account as pro- vided by this regulation.
 Question: What do you mean "cure" an account?
 Answer: When @ charge account is in default you may arrange by written agreement to change to iI1- stallment terms to pay your balance due.
 Question: What about weekly and monthly payments on installment accounts.
 Answer: No less than SIPS a week or $500 monthly. A store according to the Federal Reserve Board has the right to refuse credit to per- son, or to require payments of larger amounts than the minimum permit ted by the regulation
 So much for today. Would you like to know more about this new regu- lation?
 Yours,

for her children is over. What they do now is their lives. What ever they want to tell her she lis- tens to with sympathetic ear- but she doesn't pry.
 She makes them work a little to persuade her to visit them, so that when they get a letter saying that she is coming for few days visit they feel as though they have ex- perienced a small triumph.
 She isn't critical of the way they live, even though it isn't exactly the kind of life she would have chosen for them, or would at her age choose for herself.
 She doesn't tell them her troub- les or recount all the troubles of everyone she knows. Instead she laughs a lot.

 Those typical war-summer actiy- ities will put you in the T cant do Q thing with my hair" bracket if you don't protect and stimulate your scalp. Sun affects your tresses and scalp just as 1t does your skin EXPERTS ADVICE:
 FUSE THAT BRUSH"
 Tightly wound turbans are no announcement to that essential of hair beauty, good circulation. And you know how literally perspiration- caked dust obliterates the natural sheen of healthy hair.
 I asked a world-famous expert for Q minimum basic hair schedule for you. She said:
 Next to right eating and exer- else, the most important hair beau- ty rule is protection for the hair and stimulation of the scalp circu- lation by brushing"
 She advises you not to wind those turbans too tight; to chose Q light, preferably porous, hat to get air In your tresseS, but not enough wind and sun to dry the natural oils faster than nature replaces them.
 Good, mild shampoos are impor- tant, and an occasional treatment, in the salon or at home. For this purpose, one house has concocted a cream hair pack, which works quite like a facial mask. They have, too, Q new light, non-greaSy oil which you spray on with atomiZer or apply sparingly with flngertips to screen the hair from sun and griine as skin preparations guard your complexion against coarsen- ing exposure.
 Of course, nothing will supplant regular brushing, and therefore this expert suggests a really rousing brushing in your bathing sutton roof, in back yard, or wherever. EXERCISE AIDS HAIR, TOO
 First take a few hands lover head -to-toeS stretches-this bathing -suit free tossing of the hair will work up the circulation, air the hair beneflcially, and help keep your torso in condition too. Afterward, grasp your bristled brush firmly and brush-vigorously.
 Brush upward and outward in long sweeping strokes. Toss and brush daily or, at very least for healthy hair, three times weekly. If you shampoo at home, dry and toss your hair in the sunshine.
