TEXTILE STRIKERS RETURN T0 NILLS 28 Arvests Made fn Distarbances at New Bodlord New Bedfard, Mass, Oct. § (UP) —New Bedford’s 56 textile mills, closed for 25 weeks by a strike of 37,000 operatives, were partially re- opened today with hundreds of po- lics from five cities and towns co- rating to prevent violence. opel ey During the first hour, 28 men and women, all members of the so-called radical textile mills committee, which had opposed ending the strike were arrested. No serious trouble had developed, however. About two hours and a half after the mills were re-opened. the textile -lll- group abandoned its attempt at picketing and some 1,000 mem- | Ders gathered for a brief open- -air’ mass-meeting. Police attended the meeting but there was no disturb- ances. Many of the strikers who entered the mills emerged shortly after, ex- plaining t there were not enough orders ahead to give them work im- mediately. Mill operators stated, however, that operations would be resumed as rapidly as posaible con- sistent with orders, and that the strikers would be taken back as soon as the volume of orders war- ranted it. Ended Saturday The strike ended Saturday when the seven unions voted unanimously to sccept the manufacturers’ com- | promise plan under which wages will be cut § per cent instead of 10. Copwcll to Meet Fall River, Mass., Oct. 8 UP—The Fall River textile council announced today that it would meet tonight with representatives of the Cotton Manufacturers” association to dis- cuss the wage question. The coun- cil voted last February to accept a wage reduction of 10 per cent. Of- ficlals of the council declined to make any further statement in re- gard to tonight's meeting. Children Take Articles At Nurse Assn. Exhibit At an exhibit on public health nursing shown by the Visiting Nurse association Exhibit on Wednesday, Thursday, ¥riday and Saturday of last week, several articles were taken, probably at the Home Pregress | by children, in the belief that they were being given away. These articles were three 3 inch dolls dressed as children sitting in a achool room; one 5 inch doll dress- ed as a nurse in a grey/ gingham uriform, one inch long fountain pen, on> toy tree, one black tov automo- I bile with the letters V. N. A. paint- ed on it, one tiny electric fan, and one toy bath room pedestal wash bowl with two faucets on it. ‘This exhibit was loaned by the state health department and the re- placement of most of the articles taken has not been possible to date. The association appeals to any per- sca who may have any of the listed properties to return them to associa- tion headquarters, 52 Center street. PEGULIAR FLAVOR FULLY EXPLAINED Diflerent Tastes in Hilk Due fo Light Rays Washington, Oct. 8 ® — The “cardboard” taste and “linseed-oil” odor which frequently develop in milk kept in the *outdoor icebox"” during cold weather are usually caused by the chemical action of the longer light rays which pene- trate the contraption. The remedy suggested by Willlam C. Frazier, of the agriculture de- partment's bureau of dairy indus- try, is to keep the milk in the dark. The consumer, he found, is likely to blame the milk distributor | for this objectionable flavor when the responsibility probably rests | with his own more or less open box on the window sill or in his habit of placing the milk bottles on the | sill itself. The investigation was made with | samples of milk of cows selected from the experiment farm of the bureau at Baltsville, Md., which were being fed on different con- trolled rations, and established that the animals’ food had nothing to do with causing the “cardboard” taste, The milk was exposed to diffused rather than direct sunlight in vari- ous types of containers, absolving the ultra-violet rays from blame. The defect, it was learned, develops more rapidly in pasteurized than in raw mink, a condition which was explained as being caused probably | by the action of the heat ip render- ing the fat particles more suscepti- ble to oxidation when exposed to the light ra: READ HERALD (l Al FOR BEST RESU lTh [y NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1928 SAME FIRE WL HEAT, ALSD C00L {This Is Latest Thing in Model New York, Oct. 8 MM—Plans to erect & new type of dwelling house, heated and cooled by the same gas fire, are being developed by the American Gas association, The projected house is normal size, with probably eight rooms, for experimental purposes. Its lo- cation has not been fixed, but 18 likely to be in the midwest. The objective is to work out the pos- sible economic practicability of houses heated and cooled by pro- cesses which now exist mainly as laboratory experiments, The windows cf the house wil be used for daylight, but not tor ventilation. The plan is to make them air-tight except for such occa- sions as window washing. The doors will be somewhat of the bank safe pattern, of stepped edges in sufficient numbers to be virtually air-tight. One reason for the win- dow closing is u laboratory discov- ery that in an artificlally regulat- ed room a random draught such as might stray through an open win- dow can cause virtual rain in the room. Ventilator ducts are planned to care for foul air at all times, Another novelty is insulation of the entire house, calculated to re- quire about 30 per cent less heat- ing energy than in a similar unin. sulated dwelling. The insulation will be equivalent to the protection afforded by one and a half inches of cork. It may be chosen from any one of 30 materials, ranging from eel grass from Boston harbor to bits of paper mashed and sprayed on by air gun, with sodium silicate as a binder. The paper in- sulation would reach a depth of about three inches, ‘The ultimate objective, heating and cooling with the same gas plant will not be attempted at the start, says the announcement. The heating and the cooling plants at first will be separate, but it is planned finaily to combine them in one plant. Underlying the experiments the scientific principle is based on the use of ammonia, the hoiling point of which is 27 degrees below zero. In cold weather this property cf ammonia will be used to absorb heat from the less cold air out- side. In summer it will be used a reversed process to absorb heat from the warm interior of the Anthracite Safeguards Your Home, Your Health No smoke—no soot-clogged flue—no chimney fires when you burn Anthracite.

Burean Was First Or- ganized for This Purpose Washington, Oct. 8 (® — The United States Public Health Service, generally identified as the federal agency which guards the nation against the introduction of disease from abroad and the spread of epi- demics within the country., is and always has been the “family doc- tor” of American seamen. Under the guidance of the present surgeon general, Hugh 8. Cumming, it has many functions. But when congress created the service in 1798, its purpose was to provide American =eamen with medical at- tention. The first United States marine hospital was established in accordance with that act, at Bos- {ton in 1804, within the area later incorporated in the navy yard there. |There it stands today, used no longer for the treatment of the ill or injured, but for other purposes. The whole service, as it is known today, grew naturally out of its be- ginning. After the value of the Boston hospital had been demon- strated, others were established, first along the Atlantic, then the Gulf, and finally, as the nation grew. on the west coast.
