It is but proper that the country should call a halt for a day that it may celebrate the birthday annivers: of its first great leader. George W: ington Is still an inspiration to his countrymen and the admiration and Tespect which he arouses, increases rather than diminishes. The manner in which he undertook his task, his devotion to what he believed his duty, even to accepting the presidency for the second time when he had decided to decline, his statesmanship, intes- ity and ‘patriotism all combine to make him an example of great value 1o the country today. As the English historfan Green has sald it was Washington's “clear judg- ment, his heroic endurance, his silence under diffculties, his calmness in the hour of danger and defeat. the patience with which he waited, the lofty and severe sense of duty that never swerved from its task through resent- ment or jealousy, that never through war or peace felt the touch of mean- er ambition, that knew no aim save that of guarding the freedom of his fellow countrymen, and no personal longing saving that of 'returning to his own fireside when their freedom was secured, which taught men to cling to Washington with a trust and faith such as few other men have won, and to regard him with a rev- erence which still hushes us in pres- enca of his memory. There are two birthday anniver- saries of national importance which occur in February and while Wash- ington and Lincoln were men of far different type, it is the man in both which makes such a deep and lasting mpression. MOTHS AND CATERPILLARS. The amount of good which done by the gathering and destruction of the brown tail moth and tent ca pillar egg masses during. the past sev- eral months can hardly be imagined, but it better remain unknown than to experience the ravages of the pests just for the sake of finding out. That it has done good is known because | it 1s the most effective method of treatment. There Is nothing better for once the egg masses are destroyed that ends the possibilities of a count- less number of moths and caterpil- lars, Tt is in its early eampalgn against these pests that Connecticut is going to obtain its greatest bemefit. It is a sitnation in which indifference or care lessness should have no part and if such does prevail to hinder the cam Palgn protection of property and pre cautionary matheds for heaith should arouse any delinquent tewns or sec tions of the state to activity since there remains but about a menth in which te make the work effective Thereafter the moths will commence to hateh and the problem then becomes greatly increased. Twenty-seven towns have been scouted for the browntalls and where found destruction of the nests is the remedy. When the state entomologist declares that the future local work must be done by the property owners, city and town authorities and that some law requiring this, similar to Massachusetts and New Hampshire laws, will probably he required, the responsibility of preoperty owners is clearly set forth, The task is the smallest at the present time that it ever will be if neglected and it is an effort in which everyene sheuld realize his Individual responsibility. Pre- orastination is a friend of the moths and caterpitlars. PEACE TREATIES. ‘With this country taking a leading part in the movement for international peace it has been placed in a peculiar light by the failure to act upen the geveral arbitration tweaties which have heen waiting appreval. They. were entitled to the serious conscientlous at- tention which they desesved, without unnecessary delays. To do ofherwise meant a disregard for the position which the countsy had taken just S0 long as the nsgiigence prevatied Thus the activa of the ssnate iu Tat- ifying eight treaties between this coun- try, Great Buitain, Japan, Jtaly, Spain Norway, Sweden, Portugal and Swits erland and exies them weactically in thelir orginalFongy s a course which has long been called for, There was no reason| why, under the posilion we are taking in e ndulgence of ofh- er nations e geiilement of the Mexjcan .

We mnaturally should ex- pect to abide by the provisions of such treaties when they affect us as ye would expect others to do when they are (nvolved, and the senate by its ac- tion has put an end to an uncalled for @elay. Our sincerity upen the matter of arbitration and peace was open to doubt as long as we continued a hang- fire disposition concerning such im- Portant treaties. Their ratification changes the diplomatic atmosphere in & manoer which was needed. THE EXECUTION OF BENTON. In the treatment of American and foreign subjects in Mexico since the revolution was inaugurated nothing has contributed to so much uncer- tainty and unrest as the execution of William S. Benton, a British subject. s Other deaths have occurred but they have not been under such circum- stances as surround this execution. The responsibility for it rests sole- Iy between General Villa and Benton but it injects into the revelution an unfortunate and uncalted for incident because of the foreign complications which can be raised. It presents a sit- uation which up to now had not dis- turbed the molicy of “watchful wait- ing,” and the disposition nosy of Great Britain to leave the matter entirely in the hands of this country indicates t a broad view is taken of the af- fair, While the course which was pur- sued by General Villa from reports so far obtained show Benton's death to have been uncalled for, there cannot ssion. He knew Villa and he knew the difficulty which he had in restraining his own fiery temper. He should have understood the value of having the beast good natured rather than angry when placing his head in the lion's mouth. Benton attempted ta do something which wasibeyond the protection of this country and he paid such a m a high price for it. It is another rev- elat the character of the men who are leading the Mexican people and while Benton falled to make good use of knowledge which was in his possession, 1t.is nevertheless one of blews to its sympathiz eived. the revolution has r FREIGHT RATES. The annou tention cement that it is the in- the Interstate commer to hasten along the mat- com ter of freight rates as fast as safety will permit is in accordance with th: demands of the situation.

There is nothing to be gained needless delay while the quicker it can be known what rates will ggvern the future in rail- road operations, the better for all co | cerned. The statement from the com- mission indicates a realization of the importance of the case and there is cause for satisfaction in the assur. ance that there will be no neediess delay EDITORIAL NOTES.

When it s clean, polish with a soft dry skin. SILK CANDLE SHADES. The beauty about making one's own candle shades is that it is then possi- ble to get the exact color wanted. It does seem difficult nowadays, when S0 many things are on display in the stores; to find something that some one else hasn't thought about. Buy the wire frames for the shades these can be had ready made—and shirr or plait about them a piece of thin silk; that is, thin enough for the light to shine through and make a little glowing halo of color about the candlestick. Edge and top the edges of this shade with narrow tom the shade put an edging of slightly fulled tarnished gilt lace or fringe of gilt. A little curving line of unbroken festooning, composed of tiny silk roses and green foliage, about the shades adds to thelr attrac- tiveness. The shirred silk used on the hades Js simply a straight strip of silk a little wider than the shade is high from top to bottom and long enough to go twice or one and a half times sbout the wire shade before it (the silk) Is shirred.

It comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes and covered with all manner of silken and tapestry stuffs. One of the newest ideas is found in toman made especially for the tment house dweller : ottoman s hollow n and at_raises up, showing a little apartment inside, where oversnoes may be put away or other small articles stored in the house where every inch of space s valuable.

DICTATES OF FASHION. | A pretty sort of meck filling is piain net with a single tuck and hemstitched edge. ‘The lovely embroidered cotton crepes are being made-up with taffeta bind- ings. | | Most of the fashionable evening | sleeves seem to be held on the should- ers by three stitches. 1t is many seasons sinee there were such stately designs as at present in embroidery flounces. Lovely girdles for evening gowns are made of the silver and gold tinsel ri bons, softly crushed uj The richest dress trimmings are of net embroldered with beads, wool, silk and gold thread all at once, Among the mew suitings is the one | with the chicken foot check called | “pled de poule.” It is very smart.

Tand embroidery is still used on the finest French underwear. We use more lace than the French do, and its soft daintiness makes up for the exquisite embroidery that we do not find time to use. However, the French embroidery has a charm ous does not possess, produced by the wonderful embrojdery and the tiny frill or edging of fine valenciennes lace.

It is whispered that by Easter day there will be & veritable craze for snowy suits. Many stunning white taileurs have appeared at the south- ern resorts and tallors are receiving orders for similar models, to be ready for spring wear. These White suits are of corduroy, of serge, of imported white ratine, of white cloth and of white mohair and wool and mobair mixture. Some of them have a trim- ming of white fur; others are edge- bound with white silk braid. One fetching model of white wool and mo- hair weave is trimmed with white silk ecord and small white silkk tas- sels in lien of buttons—the very- lat- est Paris touch. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. | I the thread breaks when sewing { upon heavy linen, rub the back of the cloth with white soap, and you will | have no more difficulty; also keep in mind while working with colored silks not to dampen the ends of the threads in your mouth before trying to thread the needle. The silks are colored with poisonous matter, and quite of- persons have suffered intensely in this man- | ten from_poison contracted ner. Dampen the fingertips and twist the thread. Tnstead of putting machine stitched plaits or tucks in a lace blouse or one of very fine material, catch the tucks down with French knots.

The Bulgarian emhroidery, which has been made popular by the recent interest in the Balkan states, is really very simple and is nothing more or | less than the flat laid stitch or the | | satin “stitch with which we are all | | familiar.
