With all the 'talk of national fense, Uncle Sam should be de- very \much pleased with our own New Britain. There are within this' city more than five thousand able bodied men, between the ages of eightuen and. forty-five, all of whom are avail. able fbr military duty. These figures |- are from records in the office of the registrar. There are some eight hun- dred men who by virtue of their -o- sitions are ineligible for military duty. ‘In many of the manufactories in New Britain there are men who have served in'the Army and the Navy of: seasoned soldiers. /In ‘the event “‘of war, much would' be expected from aen of this calibre who would go to _make up the reserve: to the-regular ‘army. -New Britain has the material FN must have its day. Now: J'eo‘np{a the énd of the tortoise shell rims on eye-glasses. Two psypholq- gists have been working on the case and, after a thorough investigation clusion that the'tortolse-rimmed spec- tacles and eyeglasses are harmful, The growth of this fad has not been mushroom-Jike in character. On the contrary it has taken many moons to fasten securely upon the faces of men the diabolical looking tortoise shell glasses. The women have not as yet taken up the fad. These freakish 1ooking glasses have never been recommended by doctors and ‘eye specialists, which is one of the reasons the two eminent phychologists went out on the warpath after these newest style spectacles. Here is what the scientists found: 1, That e tortoise-shelled ' and rimmed ._eircular “ glasses are an uhconscious imitation or-tne eyes of éwls. 2. ° That there is neither a true cosmetie effect, nor any aid to . the - vision in tortoise-rimmed spectacles. With one mighty effort these two scientists have exploded the mistaken tneories of those who haveitaken their positions behind the tortoise-shelled eyeglagses.

(New Haven Register) The most momentous problen which, the modesty .of the age faccs in these summer months, it seems, is how to suppress the one-piece bath ing suit On the man it is simply di gusing.

According to a special report on the Indian population of the Urited States and Alaska soon to be issued by the bueray of census, there were 265,- 683 Indians in this country in 1910, representing an increase of 17,340, or 7 per cent. over the number reported in 1880, when the burcau, made its first enumeration of the race The report, however, will show a much lower rate of growth for the Indian population than for the white an increasing admixture of white blood 'Indians, indicating a tendency to disappegr altgether, increasing attendance at ‘schood and deécreasing illiteracy, an increase in the percent- age of the self-supporting and finally tion Indians. No better tribute could be paid to the character of the Indian than is contained in these statistics. The In- dian is being assimilated by civilized America.

It appears that a woman living in California has eight children which she has been trying to raise on $80 a month, but which are now in need because her husband is out of work.

(éouth‘ Norwalk Sentinel.) One Dr. Arthur L, Blunt, of Chi- cago was charged with aiding drug users in violating the Harrison anfi- narcotic law, His attorneys, seekiag a writ of habeas corpus argued be- fore Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lan- dis of the United States court that the «Harrison law is unconstitutional in that it denies to drug users the pursuit of happiness. This opens an interesting field of speculation. Is hitting the pipe realy the pursuit of happiness guarantsed to all citizens under -their Constiiu, tion? ' After they have hit it do they get happiness? Is not all indulgence in crime and vice open to the same argument? It you think it will make you happy to kill your neighbor, doesn’t the Constis tution guarantee you the right to pursue your joy? Haven't you rignt by the same august document, to drown your sorrows in drink, to burn yvour house or your neighbor's in order to roast your pig, to stell, riot and make a nuisance of yourself generally, if thereby you think can attain your heart's desire? What is happiness, anyhow? Is it the mere sensual pleasure of the moment followed, as all such pileas- ures are, by more than proportion. ate. pain? Or is it the satisfactim which comes) to a self-reliant but self-controlled being, doing his work in freedom and tempering his own rights to his neighbors’ comfort” The pursuit of happiness is right. But what is happiness? Judge Landis denied the writ, 2nd Dr. Blunt was at last accounts pur- suing his in jail. onr Must Not Get to Gay. (New York World.) The reported purpose of leading in- dependent steel companies to form a combination which will compare with the United States Steel Corporation in size is not likely to materialize. This is 1915 and not 1801. The oiad | partnership between government and big business no longer existd. - Public law, and not private camsgaign con- tributions, now determines the differ- ence between ‘‘good” combinationus and combinations which are not good. The restoration of competitive condi- tions in industry is being accompanied by the restoration of a more evan- handed prosperity. The country is in no temper to tolerate any return ta the orgy of trust-promoting, = eithes for' monopolistic or stock-jobbing ends which scandalized the country from | 1900 to the panic of 1907. These are rather gay times in parts of Wall street as it is. But the gentlemen back of the steel and war stocks speculations are fairly to ie warned that they must not ‘get too gay.” Abolishing the ‘“Skecters,” (Waterbury Democrat.) They are really doing it in New Jersey. The famous “man-eating Jer- sey skeeter” may be extinct in a few years. This season, being particular- ly rainy, has been favorable for the insects, but they have been decima‘ecd nevertheless by the scientific «nd of the mosquito ! squad. There is hope of getting rid of them, even in the salt marshas, The slaughter involved may be ‘m-« agined from the fact that 3,000 mos- quitoes may be born in one square foot of stagnant water, every ten duys or so, and there are 20,000 acres of | salt marsh land in the Hackensack valley alone. , Draining has bcen | done on a vast scale.

There was a day when all that was thought to be in cotton was the staple itself, and in those days the use of this staple was confined to the making of cloth in almost an exclusive degree. But in the years it has come about that it has been found that many other things could be Mmade from the cotton ftself, and the war-lords found | that it was a need in the making-of munitions. Great heaps of cotton seed were H tgrown away year after year without t e producers knowing that it was g0od money that was being tossed aide. Then cames the day of extract- ing oil from the cotton seed, and cot- ton-seed meal made a place as - a feed stuff. Experiments were made with the oil, it was refined and cotton- seéd oil went on the market in com- petition with olive oil. More experi- ments and there was cottolene as a substitute for lard, and with the con- tinuance of experiments there came the making of substitute butter. The cotton staple and the seed have made their way in many uses, but there was a halt in the use of the cotton stalk. That there was & com- mercial value in it was the thought of many, and now the day has come when cotton stalks, which have here- tofore been thought of little use fn any way, and largely regarded as a nuisance, are to find a place of value in the commercial world in the mak- ing of paper pulp and several by-| produets, including fertilizers. ' Taking hold of the propesition ‘for this utilization of cotton stalks is the Economic. Power and Products com- pany of Philadelphia. That company is to have erected at once a plant at Gréenwood in Mississippi whica is to have a capacity to consume abouat 45,- 000 tons of cotton stalks yearly, The calculation made is that from this there will come 15,000 tons of pulp for paper, 15,000 tons of fertili- zer, and 7,500 tons - of by-products, markets to be found for the products in eastern cities. The program is to have the plant in operation by the firsa of Novémber of this' year, the total investment to be about §200,000, with from 50 to 260, men employed the first year. B 4 Cotton is mighty. If this new pro- ject for the use of the stalks proves a success then will extend it domain With uses for the staple, the sced and the stalks, there be’ nc ;waste in the production of a cotton crop. An Old-Time Gas Gusher. (New York Evening Sun.) They have struck ’gas yet onee more in Pennsylvannia. The news from North Versailies township must awaken reminiscence in the old-tim- ers; a gusher shooting thousands of dollars a day exuberantly into the air and land leases for miles around flying upward more violently' than the gas itself.
