EVERYBODY AT CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY. | The united effort in behalf of Every- body-ai-Church Sunday was made for a purpese. It was undertaken under the realization that a great many were not taking an interest in the churc There was a lack of interest b what they could get out of it and- what they could do for it The movement was in accordance with | a countrywide effort for just such a reason. The large attendance at each church indicated a recognition of the force fhow and value of the invitatiom. It pro- iel duced an attendance which gives a bet- ter tdea of what the Sunday attend- ance at church should be. It inactive forces. The magnificent re- | sponse was a pleasing endorsement of | vuti the idea. It disclosed the inspiration |jems in overcoming the illiteracy aannot contribute tao and strength which come from such | bodles united in a common cause, and the ndditional power and infience| which are made possible by the filing of the ramks. and standing for the church of God in Norwich. | The movement was for the bring- ing out of an increased attendance in the hope that evervone would attend church somewhere, and as such it was a decided success, (It resulted in a large increase in attendance in all | chiirches, which prompts the question What is the effect of it going to De?

Even thou s nearfng the seventy mark he wiil not | reach there until November 1315 and then he ix not obliged to resisn his po- | sitfon, although e can retire at that Ytime should he so desire. Thus is the rumor taking a long look into the pos- sibilities of the future. With the renewal of -the talk sur- Tounding the chief justiceship and ex President Taft it will he generally con- | ceded that such action if ever faken | by President Wilson could not help hut meet with general approval, It would of course mean his seleetion because he was considered the man for the place, | the same thing which prompted Pres- ident Taft to select the present chief justice, It is an office, which when it | is filled, calls for the best qualified | man and no man is hetter fitted by in- clination or by attainment than the | former president, His training has beem for just such a place and it is known that his ambition has heen bent in that direction. While the discus- siom of such a result must be treated | unauthorized | solely in the light of & statement, it deals with a possible circamstance which will receive de- spread sanction if it ever transpires. NEW HAVEN FINANCES. ' A new and interesting plan has been added to the railroad situation in New England by the decision of the Mass« achusetts supreme court that the pro- posed bond issue of 367,000,000 for the New England road is illegal. While thigts based upon the convertible feaPure of the bonds it Is likely to mean | the end of that bond issuing effort, the opposition to which was started and has been led by Morgan G. Bulkeley. This decision means that with the rehabilitation of the road a new Sys- | tem of financing mus be put into ope- | ratlon.

Place the ball of ome foot on the step, raise the heel of the other foot, carrying it inward so that it is in line with the heel of the foot in front. | At the same time raise the body ansferring the weight to the bail | of the foot already on the stair. The | ve positions of all the different of the budy are precisely the same as in walking on a level surface, head up, chest up and out, arms hang- | ing free’ from the shoulder blades. To @ ! staifs the movements are the same. 1. Body erect, point the toe down- ward, heel turned inward® 2. 'Touch the step, sinking sradual- ¥ upon the ball of that foot, at the same time carrying the weight to' it by raising the heel of the foot on the stair above, swinging the heel in- ward on the toe as a pivot, as in mounting stairs { Keep the heels in line all the time. Spreading the feet not only awk- ward but unrefined. Swaying also is awkward and unnecess Practice vising on the toes and sinking on the knees, slowly rising again. It will help make the ankle muscles flexible so that the little pivot movement can be done freely DICTATES OF FASHION. adices of csses have rimmings somewhat = In A few coat suits cut collarless, some are cut quite low in the Stocks are wo; 55 coats. i with™ the | Mternoon frocks are inclined to be very sho th draped panniers, short tunics and many pinked or scalloped ruches. | Ch ldren's coats are charming with thelr trimming touches—girdles of oright - ribbon and corded shirrings, and fur and braid.
