ministrative purposes from the RFC
and had never directed Mr.. Jones
or any RFC subsidiary to furnish
money to pay the salaries of any of
the boards employees" All such
money came from congress. he said.
Wallace agreed, however, that
there have been "a few occasions, -
in connection with joint BEW-RFC
operations abroad, where arrange
ments were worked out jointly for
the payment Of certain joint staff
expenses by either the board or the
corporation" But in such cases, he
added, the paying agency was reim-
bursed by the other.
Mcclellan had noted that the
BEW was not created by congress. "
Wallace agreed that the president
established the board by executive
order, but pointed out that congress
had enacted legislation in June,
1912, directing that unless the pres
ident shall determine otherwise, y
the board is administer the export
control law.
Wallace said it is mot enough OF
make these corrections" but that ut
is time to prevent further harmful
Misrepresentation"

OLD SOL STUMBLES
in HEAT MARATHON
Thermometer Registers
Sudden Drop Threat of
Rain Appreciated

The heat wave which has plagued
Waterbury for ten days broke this
morning so suddenly that you could
practically hear the crash.
The mercury had reached 80 de-
grees to eight o'clock and appeared
ready to begin its customary climb
towards the shakespeare. But it got
its signals crossed, and instead be-
gan to fall imperceptibly for the
next two hour. At 10 o'clock, it's
slow retreat became a rout,. At II
O'Clock 1t had reached a low Of 72
degrees, where it rallied, and began
to climb slowly. At noon it had
reached rs degrees-18 degrees be-
low yesterdays noontime mark.
A few drops of rain fell at inter
walls throughout the morning, until
about noon, when a brief downpour
began.
Cooler is the prediction for this
afternoon and evening with marked
fluctuations in temperature.

WORKING MONDAY
No General Shutdown to
Mark independence Day
Observance

The American Brass Company
will not shut down for July 4 or 5,
announced j. F. Alderman, super
intendent of the Waterbury branch.
1.-THE only way persons can show
their true patriotic spirit on indie
pendence Day is by working harder
than ever in the effort to maintain
it," declared Mr.. Alderman.
Gall the American Brass Com
panies are going to work full blast
and no shut downs can be expected
in any departments because one de-
partment depends upon the other for
efficient mass production, said Mr..
Alderman.
However, vacations will be "hand-
ed out" to the employees beginning
July II, and will be operated on the
stagger system, he said. All the en-
ployes of any one department will
not be permitted to leave for their
vacations during the same period,
because production must be contin-
ued without any loss of time, he as
serted.
A few of the local factories have
begun to permit their employees to
take vacations, and others will be-
gin next week, it was reported to-
day. However, all factories are OPP
Grating these vacations on the stag
ger system for the purpose of con-
tinuing full production.
Various departments of the Chase
Metal Works and the Lux Clock
Company have designated this week
and next week for certain employees
to take their vacation. Other plants
are arranging various system for the
summer season.

NO MATERIALS FOR
NEW STREET SIGNS
Board of Public Works to
Be Officially Informed of
Acute Shortage

New street signs apparently are
out for the duration.
When the subject is reopened at
tonight's meeting of the Board of
Public Works members will be in
formed that materials are unavail-
abel for such purposes.
Metal signs are definitely out as
the necessary materials are on the
critical list. And it also has been
learned that suitable lumber for
sufficient signs to take care of the
city's streets also can't be procured.
And even If the city could get to-
gether enough lumber with which
to make the signs, it couldn't Sc
cure the services of a sign-painter
to handle the work.
That was the unofficial verdict
delivered today to City Hall offic-
ials and is expected to be relayed
to the Works Board tonight.

DIVORCE SCORED
BY CAMP AICNERS

divorce is a detriment, an eye
sore and an evil" declared John
Gree in lecture on Marriage
and Divorce" under auspices of the
Catholic Campaigners for Christ on
the Green last night. Pointing out
that as many as rs per cent of the
children at various reform schools
come from broken families, Mr.
Greco deplored the institution of
divorce (which often deprives a
child of the protection of a father
or the love and affection of a
mother" Marriage is not just a
contract but a sacred partnership"
he said
At the lecture, George Ayotte also
spoke on Holy Name societies. Next
weeks subject will be THE Bible"
with talks scheduled by Mr.. Greco
and Joseph M. Sullivan.

measures to care for a disease such
as tetanus. The State Department
of Health is advocating that al
children be immunized against te-
tanuS when they are infants ano
that additional doses, known as
booster doses, be given as they grow
older in order to maintain this &C
tive immunity which will protect
them against the dread disease. We
know that it is of proven value as
both our Army and Navy are i'm
munizing all soldiers and sailors who
have the greatest chance of exposure
to tetanus through wounds and in
jurieis they receive on the battle
field. For thmose who have not
been actively immunized, an anti
toxin may be given at the time of
injury as temporary protection
against tetanus.
Hazards to be Avoided
We must not consider that teta-
nus alone is our only danger on this
holiday. Injury and death from
holiday automobile accidents have
been great in the past and although
our travel is limited today, which
tends to decrease the hazards OF
travel, we still have the problem
of the pedestrian who is careless
of the dimout which makes it diff
ficult for the motorists to see the
pedestrian, thus emaking it necessary
that caution be eXerted to the ut
most on the part of both the pedes-
train and motorist so that what
few cars are left on the road will
not cause unnecessary accidents
Those who are fortunate enough to
be able to get to the shore and to
the lakes will have to be careful
when swimming not too foolishly at
tempt t G out beyond their depth
or to overeat before ging in SWIM
ming as cramps may occur which
may lead to drowning. Boaters
should be careful and avoid the
rocking or tipping of their boat.
Those who go on picnics will have
to watch out for poison ivy and
various other dangers of nature that
can beset us in the cuntry. Those
who overindulge in sports, or at
tend parades and other celebrations
will have to beware of the dangers
of sunburn, sunstroke or heat ex-
haustion. Foods that are con-
sumed should be properly prepared,
protected and refrigerated so that
food poisoning will not occur. The
dangers of drinking water from
wells and streams that may be pol
luted should be remembered by
unwary individuals. Finally, we
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
must not forget that home acct
dents always head the list of all &C
cidents and no doubt many of us
will spend our holiday at home.
