Articles On Care OF
Winter House Plants
Are Heard By Club

Mrs. H. A. Bundy was hostess to
the Laurel Garden club Thursday.
Two poems were read as part of
the program and two articles from
a magazine, Home Gardens, were
reviewed. Mrs. Shay reviewed
Happy Homes for House Plants"
and Health for Winter House
Plants" was presented by Mrs. p.
D. Thomson.
Points emphasized were: The south
window sill is too warm unless the
light is subdued. An unglazed con-
tainer allows the roots to dry out.
Any container that allows an ample
supply of moisture is good. Plants
need moist air if they are to do
their best; also all plants, like peo-
pie, enjoy a vacation.
A special meeting has been called
for Feb. II at Mrs. G. H. Barney's
home. The next regular meeting
will be Feb. 10 with Mrs. r. G.
Colson.

WIN OVER PARK;
LOSE TO COLUMBUS
Locomotives Break Even Over
Week End In Two Dis
trict B Clashes

The Laurel Locomotives defeated
Park City on the Panthers' court.
40 to q, Wednesday, Jan. 26, and
lost to the Cougars in Columbus as
to 81, Friday night. Both games
were played before packed gyms.
In the preliminary at Columbus the
Laurel junior high team won from
the Columbus juniors 80 to 10.
Harris of Park City opened the
scoring with a basket which was
matched a few seconds later by
Bob McCracken off Laurel. The
Panthers were hot and kept tie
score even throughout the first
quarter, which ended 10 all. Through
the fine passing of Henry Fritzler,
Herb Boyd, and Jim Whitson, the
Locomotives left the court with a
6 point advantage at half time
with the score 10 to 10. The
Panthers could not stand the pace
set in the third quarter and were
unable to stop Kennard Cooks tip
in shots so the Laurel team was
out in front by the comfortable
margin of 35 to 16 at the third
quarter. Coach Bennett gave mis-
reserves a chance to play most of
the last quarter.

COlumbus-Laurel
The veteran Cougar team had
their shooting eyes and hit the hoop
from all angles to completely out
class the Locomotives in the first
game of the series, 45 to ~. Ora
ham scored first on a tip-in and
Bob McCracken tied at a 2-all. Lau-
rel made a battle of it for the first
quarter with Jim Sherrow and jim
Whitson giving the Laurel fans
something to cheer for by their
sparkling defensive play. With
Hurley, Cougar center, turning in
his best exhibition of all around
play this season and Graham tip
ping in most rebounds, the Column
bus team left the half with the
score "a to II in their favor. The
shooting of the Laurel team did not
improve in the third quarter, while
the Cougars remained red hot and
it was only a question of how big
the score would be. With the count
81 to II against them going into
the last period, Coach Bennett sent
in his reserves with hopes that some
M could find the hoop. The vet
eran Columbus team was taken out
soon after and the last quarter was
a closer contest between the re-

Black markets and hoarding prac- tices, if contained will cause breakdown of the business ethics of the nation, declares Henry H. Hei- mann, Executive Manager-on-leaVe of the National Association of Credit Men, in his Monthly Business Re- view, released today. He directs his message to credit and financial eX- ecutives who he says know better than any other group the import ance of business character and morals in world operating under credit economy. Business morals, deeply rooted, constitute the found- atlon stone of all credit" he de- clares.
 'The fact that most of the goug- ing, which is brought to our atten- tion, takes place in so-called luxur- ieS or services does not remove the curse from the practice" he con- tinues. Tt is only step from black market in luxury merchandise to gouging in the necessitie sof life" MT. Heimann points out that an in- creasing number of business leaders now feel that it is high time that the local law enforcement officers give an all-out effort in aiding the federal agencies now endeavoring to stamp 0ut black markets and to bring to "suma~y justice those who in the midst of the greatest con- flict the world has ever known are attempting to accumulate nl-got- ten wealth through such illegal methods"
 Buyers Guilty
 Let us keep in mind" MT. Hei- mann continues, that black mar kets would die over night if they had no customers; that black mar kets require two unpatriotic con- tracting parties. The buyer is quite as guilty as the seller. Without the greedy purchases by those who pat ronize the black markets, those who seek an extra margin of profit from these transactions would be forced to turn their efforts to legitimate lines.
 "The black market situation, if continued, will break down our stan- dards of business morals and ethics ana demoralize the character of the individual. There can be no sound credit where business ethics are lijuidated. The whole basis of credit rests on confidence. The whole busi- ness structure has as it's foundation a sense of fair dealing with our fel- low men. If these practices persist and, if those who indulge in them are not brought to account, our bus mess standards will deteriorate to an oriental bargaining market with the outmoded principles Of let the buyer beware or make the tariff just as heavy as the market wili bear. The fact that these opera tions that meet the eye are now lux ury or personal convenience items does not alter the eventual conse- quences of such practices. Most ot the burglars start with petty thlev- cry.
 Some bankers intimate that their safety deposit boxes are bulg- ing with currency. Some believe much of this money is black market currency-for when you deal Ill black markets. you use cash. II black market currency is crowding our safety vaults something ought to be done about it. Of course, our right against search and seizure

or other constitutional rights should not be violated, but this sizable amount of black market currency now in vault boxes, eventually must be deposited somewhere. l think taxing authorities have right to know of heavy currency deposits that are not in regular order of business. The respectable depositor will not complain. The black mar ket depositor hasn't the right to complain.
 Tax Dodgers
 "Let us remember that. the black market participant compounds a felony; he is and of necessity must be a tax dodger. Our tax burden is higher because he evadeS his just taxation levies. He deals in cash to evade taxes and to keep his illicit transactions off the record. The black market operator is at heart an inflationist. His practices, if gen. erally indulged in throughout the nation, wuld drive this country to ruin. I could and you could give innumerable illustrations of olyack markets that are now giving us cause for alarm.
 Let each and every man, woman and child refuse to be party di- rectly or indirectly in black mar ket transaction and the system will be broken up over night. Such practice would do much to build the ethical standard of business and to uphold character. the cor nerstone of credit. Let us remem- Der that just few black sheep in the business world can do im- measurable harm to constructive business enterprise. Black markets have a definitely adverse teffect on the credit of America. Let us put an end to them.'

WING Requests More Medical Testimony
NEW ENGLAND
 FIRMS FINED
Employment of Minors Re- suits in Imposition of
 Penalties

Boston, December 15-For employ ing minors in violation of the Walsh Healey Public Contracts Act, New England firms lave paid a total of $113,530 in liquidated dam ages since the Act, governing en- ployers entering into contracts with the government in excess of $l0,000 became the law of the land eight years ago, it was announced today by Leo A. Gleason, regional director of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divisions, U S. Depart ment of Labor.
 The greater part of liquidated damages has been assessed in the last two years, war production re- sulting in an increased number of child labor law violators, Regional Director Gleason reported.
 A total of $87,790 in liquidated damages was paid in the fiscal year 1914, ending June 9th, MT. Gleason stated. Liquidated damages collect ed in New England for the past eight years of the Walsh Healey Public Contracts Act have been higher than in any region in the country with the exception of Chi cago.
 An employer engaging in con- tract with the United States gov- ernment in excess of $10,000 is liable to a $10 per day penalty for each minor employed in violation of the law, and sum equal to the amount of any deductions, rebates, refunds, or under-payment of wages due to any employe engaged in the per formance of such contract.

ATHd WMG O1TNCUOE MdIy M. Dewey said today many physicians have .,een of great help to the USES and WING by giving complete accounts of the patients disability ard by making suggestions on pos sible placement. Others, however, have oiven very brief statements and have given no indication on the type of job that would be suitable for the particular health condition, she said.
 Valuable Suggestions
 The WING official commented that doctors who have had clinical experience in factories have been particularly helpful. She stated that many of them in their health ac- counts have visualized what the particular person could do in the line of work and thereby have aided the problem of placement.
 She pointed out that other doc tors have merely written out state ments stating This woman is not the factory type, or "She is nerv- ous and high strung" or He is un- der my carc for a health condition and can't continue at his present job" Such un-specific comments have proved hindrance to employ ment officials in placing the persons and have been unsatisfactorily, she said.
 A study of 496 health certificates. submitted by Waterbury workers who sought particular referrals or statements of availability, disclosed that one particular physician had submitted "a fair proportion" of the total, Mrs. Dewey said. Four Water bury doctors had supplied the bulk of amount, it was revealed. There were about 100 physicians who had issued only one or two of the health certificates, the report disclosed.
 Mrs. Dewey said the most common causes of the health certificates and job-change requests has been listed as nervousness or inability to ad- just to conditions such as shifts or meals at different times. Among the ailments listed most commonly have been ulcers, verbose veins, sinus and nasal difficulties, asthma, and bron- chlal conditions.
 Bronchial Trouble
 As an example of the "undetailed" reports, Mrs. Dewey said that sev- eral physicians have asked for out side work persons having bronchial conditions" while others have asked for inside for persons with "bron- chial ailments" She pointed out the reports would be much more satis- factory of the specific type of bron- chial disability was named.
 Mrs. Dewey commented that full doctors reports are necessary if the WING and USES are to place peo- pie in accordance with their limit ations, and asked that doctors in making out such statements indi- cate the specific type of work the persons would be able to take.
 The study of the health certifi- cates is a forerurner of a possible formation of a medical advisory committee to act on all health certi- ficates involving war plant workers. The WING is reported to be study ing plan which would bring about uniform action on health certifi- cates, and definite action on the formation of the medical council may be taken shortly.

 SHOPPERS PARK CARS

One of the largest shopping crowds ever seen in Waterbury damned the downtown area last night, one of the few principal nights remaining for late Christmas shopping.
 Parking space was practically un- obtainable, and busses were damned as many shoppers left cars at home. The ranks of patrolmen assigned to the downtown area were bolstered by an additional 25 police assigned to controlling and directing the Christmas crowds.
