Making Minks

BECAUSE of scientific

- be long now before you
can buy fur coats in all the
shades of the rainbow. Pink
mink already is a reality.
The many-hued coats,
however, will cost plenty.
Constructing, still in its
experimental stage, is an ex-
pensive business.
According to a recent re-
port of the United States
Department of Commerce,
mink may soon come in UNI
limited colorS.
THE industry expects to
produce golden, cameo
white skins with black
guard hairs-and light pas
tel shades, such as lilac,
pink, and light blue" the
report said.
Fur farms also have been
cross-breeding foxes. Gold
en- platinum fox skins were
offered on the market for
the first time this year. The
wholesale price was $270

Police, reconstructing the
events of the night, ex.
pressed the opinion that the
screams of Mrs. Block in
her dreams scared the bur-
glar away.
Mrs. Blocks experience
was not unlike that of an
other Chicagoan, Humphrey
Travis, "a, who dreamed
that the devil, complete
with forked tail and all, had
entered his room to carry
him off.
Travis crawled out of bed
and began slowly backing
away from Satan. The lat
ter, in a deviliSh mood, kept
following him.
The dreaming Travis
reached the window. The
red-horned guy, leering and
swishing his tail on the
floor, kept right on coming,
so the only way to escape
was to jump.
Nimbly. Travis leaped
backwards. There was a
crash of glass and the
dreaming man awoke to
find himself hanging head
first from the window. His
startled cries brought his
sister, Mrs. Pauline Shelton,
TO the rescue.

Most Of the models were on
simple lines with subdued colorS
brown. black, gray and beige
predominating. Many coats were
trimmed with velvet instead Of
fur, which has become fahulouSly

less exaggerated shoulders.

Happiness
And Life
BY ELSIE ROBINSON

READ a sentence the other
day. / don't know the author
and I may not quote him ac-
curately bat he certainly said a
mouthful of truth.
1--WE pick up our happiness
on the march by bits as we
go along"
Which is as fine a prescrip-
ton for what ails most of US
as l have ever found.
Generally speaking, we hui
mans have a completely wacky
conception of happiness. We
think it is necessary from the
first dawning of consciousness.
We Judge life by the amount
of happiness we get out of it.
All successful lives, we are as
sured, are happy lives. One
hundred per cent happy. Some
day our own lives will be like
that. They arcnt-yet.

The Supreme Court refused yes
terday to look into the problem of
what may be done about; a 5000, 900
fund for a memorial museum which
Duke University does not want.
William Hayes Ackland, a recluse
who once lived here. set up the fund
in will dealing with a $1,000, 900
estate. He asked that his body be
buried in marble sarcophagus be-
meath a recumbent statue in the
museum. He directed that his art
objects and manuscripts be exhibit
ed there.
-Four of his next of kin, who get
81 900 each, filed suit to have de-
clared invalid trust fund which the
will set up. Trustees of the fund
were to build the museum on the
campus at Durham, N. c., and in
come from the balance was to go
toward maintaining this Ackland
memorial, buying art objects and
enlarging the structure.
The Federal District court here
decided that the university's rejec-

that the trustees hold the fund for

Ex-AlderEnan (R)

The morale of both depart ments is at a low point and still dropping, caused primarily by the lack of understanding and inter- est of the commissioners of both boards and their unwillingness to forget politics in the interest of the city. The members of these boards are capable men in pri- vate business. yet as board mem- bers they are sluggish and their only interest as board members is that of serving political favorites first and the city when and if they get to it.
 While Waterbury has been for tunate in the matter of fires, it is too much to expect this luck to last indefinitely. Three times re- gently the margin has been close. Should loss of life occur, the re- Sponsibility cannot be placed on the personnel of the fire depart ment, but must be assumed by the fire board and the city officials.
 Waterbury pays well over one million dollars annually for fire and police protection. It is too bad this safety protection is jeop- ardized by faulty management. I

December 8, 1944. Dear Sir:
 . On Monday, December 4, our our mayor delivered his annual message to the board of alder men. This message touched only lightly on the fire and police de- partments. I believe this is un- fortunate from the standpoint of safety to our citizens. There is so much room for improvement in the management of these de- partments that they deserve more consideration than our mayor is apparently giving them.
 I know the rank and file of both departments are capable and efficient, and it is due to this personal efficiency that Water bury has enjoyed freedom from crime and a low fire loss.
