 There's a boom on in the baby business and likewise In beauty care for smart women who are an- ticipating and having babies.
 Tn case you hadn't noticed, take look at any woman who looked attractive and well groomed before, and you'll see that she looks more so when the stork flies, The notion that women are going to look mis- erable, and hence may as well check their personal care routines while waiting, is passing, fast.
 The best obstetrician know says that is pretty important. He says the most important reason why women in waiting look frousy, when they do, is that they fear they cannot look charming, so why both CT? Once you beat that, the physi- clan tells his patients, the rest is simple. He suggests:
 MATERNITY DRESS"
 CAN LOOK CHIC
 Clothes designed right. The ma ternity dress" of yore was fright. and some still are. But there are plenty of good ones now. Find them.
 Then, guard your figure before the baby is born, and especially afterward, by maintaining your normal routine. And, please, guard your skin, nails, teeth, and hair by means of two things-your diet and your beauty-care.
 Diet is the No. answer to hair, skin, nails and teeth. All require more calcium and other things but not the kind you chew up as pills. Rather, more milk, cheese, legumes, peas, eggs, and, most Of all those in balanced diet.
 There's no substitute for looks as well as for health, for early and constant prenatal care by 8 physi- clan, of course. And I'd suggest that lookS-care too. He knows. The physician in de luxe practice now adays gives attention to looks ques- tionS.
 HAIR NEEDS
 EXTRA CARE
 Hair needs massage to stir circu- lation, and gets in extra treatments when women follow the advice of one of the beauty salons. The head of one house which specializes in hair problems of every kind says that the most important point of all is: Keep hair beautifully fresh and clear up abnormal conditions instantly"
 She provides oil treatments for dry scalps-a common complaint and offers a preparation for home use. Similarly, oily scalps should be treated with a preparation made for them. Three months after the baby is born, this specialist says, is the time to watch out for falling hair. Above all, of course, she re- minds her clients of that overall hair flxer-a good hair brush, used faithfully and vigorously.
 Besides, good beauty salons are stressing special services for an- ticipators. One Fifth Aavenue house advises its clients to take skin treatments oftener-a good idea, and you can do so at home, too. Especially, catch any dry skin con- dition early, and massage often emollient liquid. The salon suggests using one all over your body, espe- cially on the abdomen. Coco butter will do the job, if you don't mind the odor.
 For teeth-your dentist. .aA

or is the paper really not as re- presented?
 A. There are several reasons why even the best washable wall paper does not always wash satisfactorily It may have become so dusty that the paper smears when moisture is applied, though it might wash per- fectly if only slightly soiled. Some times too much water is used to achieve good results. A cloth should be dipped in what is known as "dry" soapsuds, meaning a great deal of studs and very little water. The cloth should be damp, not wet. It should be rubbed gently on the paper, which should then re rinsed with fresh suds. Never wipe wall paper dry, because that tends to smear and ruin the finish. Allow 1t to dry slowly.

 Mrs. Brunschwig solved those posers with experience. She had a distinguished career as a girl.

 She decided to keep the same colors, only use lighter shades. And she decided upon chintz that would be bright and modern yet not too modern for the furniture. She found a cream colored ground, with lovely blue and green butterflies and gardenias. This made cutains and quilted bedspreads. The bedstead was covered with chintz too. Walls were painted light blue. She cov- cred the bergere with light blue textured fatric, put a blue and cream stripe on the small arm- chair.

 o. I understand that there are new regulations about the amount of sugar that is available for house. hold canning. What are they?
 A. All fruit canning will have to be done in thin" or Tight" sirup, using one pound of sugar to every four quarts of finished fruit. In ad- dition each family will be allowed one pound of sugar per person for making jams, jellies, and marma- lades. The Consumer Division of the Office of Price Administration there fore advises that, since canning re- quires much less sugar per unit of fruit than preserving, homemakers should forego the making of sweet preserves and put up extra quanti- ties of canned fruits instead In ap- plying for the extra sugar for can ming, homemakers are advised to be prepared to supply information on how much they canned last year, as well as their plans for this years canning. The amount of sugar al- lotted to any one family by the ra- tioning board will depend on both these factors.
 e. My three-year-o girl re- : fuses to eat yellow" vegetables. Is thins just notion or is there reason for 1t? She merely says she does not like them.
 A. Children's tastes, like those of grown ups, are practically all &C., quired. Most are matters of sug- gestion. Children hear grown-ups say that they "do not like so and so"-and promptly acquire some likes and dislikes of their own. Our likeing for flavors Is seldom based on the thing itself, but is supported by some association of ideas. You can render your child a lasting service by teaching her to eat every sort of food. Naturally, she will prefer some thing to others, but with patience and persistence on your part, she can be taught to eat practically any food.

TRAINED MEN ARE
 NEEDED IN DEPT.
New Haven Fire Officials Share Same Opinion as
 Local Ones

New Haven fire officials share the opinion of Waterbury fire off, cials that experienced fremen arc essential employees and should be deferred from induction into the army under the selective service system.
 While no Waterbury firemen have yet been inducted several New Haven firemen have been called. One Waterbury fireman has been given a six months deferment by selective service officials but an- other has been advised that the de- partments petition that he be de- ferred will be denied.
 Fire Chief Paul P. Heinz of New Haven has taken steps to obtain deferments for specialized men. There are great many specialized men in the fire department who are essential to the service. and will definitely recommend defefment of anyone whose induction would be a loss to the force," he said.
 Police Chief Philip T. Smith of New Haven has made no effort to obtain deferments for policemen. If the boards feel that any of uor men are needed in the armed forces of the nation we will make no at tempt to interfere in the process, ? he said. Several Waterbury police men and supernumeraries are now in the service.

DEPT. SURVEYS
 STILL MISSING
Drastic Changes Believed Contained in RecOnl-
 mendatiOnS

Still unpublished and still un- known to the public are the police and fire department surveys, com pleted months ago. And 1t appears that public curiosity about the rec concentrations made in the reports will have to be maintained for quite a while longer.
 The fire department survey, made by the Bureau of Fire Underwriters, has for some time been in the hands of Mayor Vincent A Scully and the board of fire commission CTS Its release has been withheld on the ground that 1t contains valu- able war information.
 The police survey, made by L. s. Zimmerman, research expert, for the Waterbury Taxpayers associa- tion, was turned over to the board of directors of the association A copy was given Mayor Scully. Ray mond P. Botch, managing director of the association, says that the police report will probably be made public after the associations board had discussed 1t with the mayor.
 Each report is said to propose drastic changes in departmental set-up and procedure. The fact that they are being kept secret has only served to whet up interest in what they say, and natural result has been some wild predictions as to what they contain.

Mayor Patten In Lead For 
Looms as Democratic Can- didate for Congress in
 5th District

Mayor William A. Patten of Torrington is far in the lead for the Democratic con- gressional nomination in the fifth district and appears virtually certain to be the candidate unless surprising ly strong backing develops for another candidate. The Waterbury Democratic organ ization, it was reported to- day, is ready to Ego along" on the Patten candidacy.
 State Representative Henry Nc Ccrmack of Ansonia, an aspirant for the nomination in the special election last winter, is making no effort to win the nomination this fall. Two Waterburians are men toned as possible candidates, Joseph P. Donohue, who served aS secre- tary to Congressman J. Joseph Smith, and Lawrence Kenny, East End resident and former works commissioner
 The lower Naugatuck Valley may introduce a candidate before the convention but he will have to build up great amount of support to cut down Mayor Patten's lead. Most of Litchfleld County Is said to be solidly behind tie Torrington mayor.
 Democratic leaders in other towns will not take kindly to any effort by Waterbury to dominate the dis trict convention. They blame this city,s leaders for the loss of the dis trict in the special election in Jan- uary, and point out that Water bury has controlled the nomination for years. Congressman, now judge, Smith was nominated and elected four times, while the candidate in the special election was another Waterburian, Attorney John S. Monagan. He was defeated by Con- gressman Joseph E. Talhot (R) of Naugatuck
 Mayor Vincent A. Scully of this city has been mentioned as pos sible candidate to offset the per sonal popularity Of Congressman Talbot, but is not believed that he would accept the congressional nom- ination. Furthermore, state leaders seek him as the candidate for at- torney-general.

P. U. C. PROBE IS CONTINUING
Report on Bus Accident May Be Filed Next
 Week

The Public Utilities Commission investigation of the c. R. 6 L. bus accident here July 28 is continuing and a report may be filed next week, Joseph P. Wadhams, commission en- gineer, told The Democrat today.
 One passenger was injured, four were shaken up, and 20 others es- caped injury when the huge 32-pas- senger vehicle went out of control on Crown street, plunged down the steep incline across Bishop street and came to a stop in an open lot after snapping off several fence posts, narrowly missing two houses and bouncing over several large boulders.
 MT. Wadhams said he has been to Waterbury once to look over the bus and the braking equipment and also has been to Bridgeport to discuss the case with company employees. Par ticular attention has been given to the brake valve, he said.
 A. J. Drummond, division superin- tendent of the c. R. & L., said that in his opinion the accident was caused when the brake valve, clog ged with oil and dirt, failed to func- tion properly.
