‘ ’. It is well to probe public sentiment
pro and con in connection with the
aproposed campaign to collect funds
to: the erection of a Norwalk Y. M.
B. A. building. The local branch
[fifths League of Women Voters at
‘1 recent executive session expressed
0 opinion that what was required
here was a. community house where
fiho needs of girls and boys of all
classes and creeds would be met.
The local “Y" committee from its

new it was initiating would attempt
,‘fo provide for both boys and girls.

Voters rightly set forth that a. clear
”Outstanding should be achieved bo-
shindi'sd per cent cooperation of all.
The reply of the "Y" committee was
the preliminary stage.
It cannot be denied that many
Mneiltswould accrue to the local “Y"
because of it. smuaiion with the
malls and growing national and in-

the proposed building should be

HOW TO KEEP WELL
By DR. HUGH 8. CUMMING

LET NO ONE KISS YOUR BABY
ON THE MOUTH
. How to keep the baby well is a
i problem that is particularly pressing
jduring the hot summer months. To
keep a baby well is much easier than
it is to cure him when he becomes
sick.
When you are not feeling up to
the mark you not only know the re.-
gion in which the pain is located but
'ihe cause of the trouble. You can
make your symptoms and wants
known to those about you.
Baby Can't Tell. _
Not so. however. with baby. It is
not such an easy iask to cure that
helpless. inarticuiate, suffering. bit
of humanity. Every mother should.
therefore. take precautions against
'exposing her baby to disease and
should take the time to familiarize
herself thoroughly with ,symptoms

In a room crowded with strangers
there is always likely to be some one
who is suffering from a contagious
disease or who may have COlllt‘ from
a home where such a disease is pres-
ent. It is fOr this reason that. he
may be protected from exposure in
disease, that a little baby should be
kept away from CiO“tI3 and from
crowded places.
Grown persons curry disease strins
In their months. They are very
serious invaders when tllvy get into
the system of a baby.
Against Kissing.
Kissing .1 baby on the mouth rvcn
by his own mother should not be
permitted. If you allow your baby
to be kissed on the mouth these
mouth germs may be transferred to
baby's tender mouth and may make
him ill or even cause his death.
The first rule of health, therefore.
is: allow no one to kiss your baby
on the mouth. \

Accidents for 1925—
Holidays Worst.
A Sunday in August is the most
dangerous day upon which to veil-
ture forth on the highways of Con-
necticut. it last year's experience is
representative. A Saturday in Octo-
ber. generally speaking. is the next
most hazardous lime to go for a
drive in this state.
The state motor vehicle depart.
ment has completed a chart showing
the accident. record for each day of
1925. Taking them individually. La-
bor Day is the worst offender, for
158 accidents are chalked up against
that day. but the. other Mondays in
the year brought down the aver-
age to a point where that day took
fourth place when the days were ar.
ranged according to the number of
accidents reported to have occurrei
on them throughout the year.
Friday standing next. to Satur-
day and Saturday next to Sunday.
Thursday stands next to Monday.
followed by Wednesday and lastly
Tuesday. taking the year's record for
each day as a. whole.
Holidays invariably send up the
accident totals. Next to Labor Day.
in the 1925 records. came the Fourth
of July. Saturday for which day in
accidents were reported in the auto.
Memorial Day Saturday had 103 ac-
cidents marked, against it.
Sunday started out favorably in
1925. having less accidents in Jana.
ary and February than any of the
other days. In March. however. it
took the lead and held it until Octo-
ber. when Saturday advan d to
first place. from the stsndpo t of
most accidents. and Friday moved
up to second place. This rearrange-
meat probably was an indirect result
of the' big football games which
bring out unusually hesvy-wsek-snd
traffic in that month. Sunday re.
covered first place in November. fol-
lowed by Saturday but surrendered
it to Thursday in December. Mon.
day. April 27 had the record for
most motor vehicle fatalities. six poo.

that day
