August 29 AUTO FATALITIES AND LICENSES The granting of authority for ‘the suspension or removal of licenses was expected to result in a marked de- crease of the infractions of the auto regulations relative to speediag, the careless operating of cars and the ob- servance of traffic rules. TFor the careful driver it has, and in a large number of cases unnecessarily so, for there always is a large number who religiously observe the laws, but the announcement by the state secretary the past week that the licenses of four drivers have been suspended for fatal- fties in which they have been con- cerned this month, Indicates that all that had been expeécted of -the legis- lation has not been accomplished. And these do not include the triple fatality at South Windsor. ‘While it is perfectly apparent that there are such cases which are pure- 1y accidental and in which the party killed or injured was negligent, yet the long.list of fatalities due to the auto points out the crying need of reacifing those reckless drivers who are a constant menace to all users of the highways as well as a great dan- ger to themselves and those who ac- company them. Where such reckless- ness continues to increase, either the disrespect for the law and its admin- istration is increasing, or else the pen- elties are insufficient. It is wrong that the auto should contribute so greatly to the list of unnecessary deaths throu t the state, but it rests with the zuthorities to create among the careless drivers, and those who will be guidedfthereby, ethe proper amount of individual re- sponsibility. FRANCE’S PROTEST. That France should enter a protest against the proposition which this country has been considering, of pur- chasing the idle German vessels which have been obliged to tie up in Amer- ican ports to prevent capture, is mot surprising. While the step was con- cetved without any intention of vio- lating our position of ‘neutrality and purely for the purpose of restoring our demoralized trade foreign fields, yét as France points out, those vessels have been rendered useless thi war measures which the allles Have taken. To remove them from that position and place them under the American flag, which unless they carried contrabands of war would give them protection, would as- sist in getting the German shipping interests out of a bad predicament and provide millions for the carrying on of the war. The country has taken a stand for neutrality which it must maintain. Tts purpose is not to contribute an ad- vantage to either side and the position taken by France in this ship deal is one which cannot be slid over withou¥| proper consideration. It can be read- ily understood that cash is much pref- erable to idle ships, which have been forced into idleness, and, regardless of who the owners might be, as long as they are concerned in the war wherein we have declared our neutral. ity, the government will undoubtedly realize the necessity of proceeding with the caution which that declata- tion imposes. We cannot afford to get mixed up in this European catas« trophe. e i BETTERING A CITY. In the e¢ity of New York the order has gone forth to the policemen from the head of the department that they must be alert to the obsérvamce of|h before the relieved. DESTRUCTION OF LOUVAIN. “Whether much study has been given the Questions involved in the war-in or mot, it will be gen- erally conceded that Belgium had suf- fered tremendocusly ‘and too severely long before the destruction of the city of Louvain. That that unfortified town should be sacked and burned was en- tirely uncalled for. It was violence of too great severity even though as elaimed some of the townspeople had fired upon German troops, though such an excuse is affset by the citizens of EBouvain, who attribute it to the,cov- ering up of a blunder when some cf the German soldiers fired upon their own men by mistake. ' Louvain has been made to suffér through the loss of the city just as Belgium has been made to bear the brunt of the entire programme which Germany D against another na- tion. With such reprisal afid the war less than a month old, it is but nat- ural to wonder what vengeance may yet be practiced-against Belgium for daring to respect and honor its “piece of white paper.” With such conduct it is but nat- ural that Brussels should be fearful of like treatment. Whethér this act indicates what Germany may exact from Belgium in the future remains to be seen, but if her programme is to retajn it as a province of the em- pire such a course as has been adopt- ed is not calculated to make a bappy and contented class of subjects. DOWNING SULZER. Anything to beat Sulzer seems to have been the effort of the New York progressives In picking out a ticket for approval by the primaries, but while the state committee went through the process of doing just what {t has been so severely criti- cising the old partiés for doing in the past, for the purpose of directing the vote of the rank and file, it has not succeeded in entirely crushing the en- thustasm of the irrépressible Sulzer and his followers, THat there is a well divided senti- ment among the backers of the third party movemeént that Sulzer should be given the nomination is indicated by the steps which were «considered necessary in order to squelch the pos- sibilitv of his choice. It is not sur- prising that the third party should oppose” for the head of their ticket ‘the man who has been deposed from the office which he is again seeking: Sulzer has established a record for which no party can be expected to stand sponsor, but from the demand ‘which there is for him to lead the tick- et there Is disclosed the radicalism ‘which exists in the party. Each move throughout the cam- paign, especially the influence Sulzer has been able to exert has borne out Senator Root’s statement that the party is fast undergoing decay, and while Sulzer may not be able to gath- er in & nomination he ought to be able to attract a sufficient following to bolt and start a new party of his own. just to make things interesting and further aid the cause of Tammany. EDITORIAL NOTES. Though it may be difficult to real- ize it, war on the oyster will be de- clared temerrow. After having copiously effervesced Sulzer is being allowed to quietly sub- side, but it was a bad outlook. Stranger things have happened than for Cole Blease to decide to take up ‘his future residence in foreign climes. It takes a war among civilized na- tions to add zest to the revolutions in republics which brag less of their edu- cation. - : European geography and history are being studied as faithfully as if they were new games for the drawing room. ———e Strive as' he will it is impossible for the consumer to remain neutral when it comes to the fight against high prices. —_— A chance for a little enterprise is offered the boosters of the Hub by erecting “Sall for Boston” signs in the European ports. Austria hasn't enough trouble on her hands but what she finds it neces- sary to hurl a delayed declaration of ‘war Belgium. The announcement by Villa that he is Mexico’s “man of peace” speaks wvolumes for the effects of the demor- alizing in Europe.

It is worth while to let a pint of milk sour from one day to another for the breakfast griddle cakes, because cakes made from sour milk and soda are so much superior in lightness and texture to those made of sweet milk and baking powder. A recipe that can always be relied upon requires a pint of sour milk in which a teaspoonful of soda has been dissolved, two cup+ fuls of flour sifted with half a tea- spoonful of salt and one of sugar, two eggs and two cupfuls ;xt !lm:;.

DRAW CURTAINS, Draw curtains should be at least once and a half the width of the win- dow. The curtains should always be fastened at the lower outside cerner to prevent- their blowing into the room wher the window is open. If one does not care to have the c s drawn together they can be of single strips of material with French beadings and_ gathered into a space a little broader than the casing, or they may simply be rim on a rod through a beading. BEEF TEA. “Oh, nurse, that beef tea tasted so good. How did you make it?” said an invalid the other gay. “To make it right” responded the nurse, “you should take one pound of lean beef cut into small pieces. Put into a jar without a drop of water, cover tightly and set in a pot of cold water. Heat gradually to a boil and continue this steadily for three and four hours, until the meat is like rags and the juice all draws . Season with sdlt to taste, and, when cold, skim. TO BANISH ANTS. Kerosene will drive ants away. Trace the ants to the point they en- ter, usually under the ‘baseboard. Saturate a sponge or cloth with ker- osene and wipe all along their line of march, putting a liberal dose of kerosene where they enter. This will effectually prevent their coming again, HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Avoid excessive use of all condi- ments, pepper, mustard, etc., as they will in time destroy the digestion. Salt water acts as a tonic on the skin. Gently spatter on the face, it will help make the cuticle firm. Shoes that are too tight at the tops interfere with the action of the calf muscles and spoil the shape of the Ankles. After exercising or bathing when the pores are open and the skin is in a glow, do not rush out into the open air or into sudden’ changes of tem- perature. Severe colds are taken un- less good judgment is exercised at such times. Tenderness discovered by pressing the hard bone behind the ear is apt to indicate mastoiditis, especially if the ear itself discharges. If the disease is recognizeq before serious trouble begins, a mbst grave operation and possibly death may be avoided. » A dry, harsh skin needs a cold cream and almond oil. If the skin is red and oily leave all creams alone and first apply an astringent or a paste of almond meal. Do not put cx_—leams and oils on a skin already too oily. Cleanliness of the scalp is essential, but there is such a thing as too much cleanliness; at least, too much wash- ing. Excessive washing deprives the hair of its vigor, makes it brittle and lustreless, and soon cayges it to fall out. Canoeing and boating generally make flabby muscles supple and strong. Tensiog put upon the limbs in bracing onestlf naturally tends to develop” them. Needless to say that in paddling and canoeing especially the muscles of the neck,'chest, shoul- ders and arms come in for their full share of the work. AN IMPROMPTU VASE. One of innumerable inventions as he outcome of necessity in the words of the old adage is an impromptu flower pot or vase’covering made from blotting paper. Sometimes one may ohance only to have a cup, even a bottle, a baking powder can or a tin pail, when a blossom or a bunch of wild flowers is at hand, as when traveling, in a bungalow, a summer boarding place or even at an office desk. A piece of leaf green.blotting paper cut tall enough to support the stems, pinned, glued or fastened in a cylinder with letter clips, and stood over any homely receptacle which will hold water becomes a pleasing flower holder, in effect. Hence a few sheets of green blotting paper may not come amiss, if packed in the bottom of a trunk when starting for a summer outing. RULES FOR SAVING., Pay cash for everything/ Do your own buying and marketing. Be careful in your selections of food. Study out, at the beginning of the week, just how much Yeu can spend that week. do ® your own household; not leave it to servants. Figure out a system of utilizing all materials; even the leftovers from a meal can_be made into something the next day. Do not regard the system of econ- omy as a burden, but as a pleasure and a duty. —_— DICTATES OF FASHION.

Four quarts of quinces will make ten glasses of jelly. TFour quarts of crabapples will make enght pint jars of preserved peaches. Four pounds of plulms will make five pint jars of preserves. gl TABLE POLISH., A simple and cious method of removing stains a dining table of dull finished,mahogany or wood is as follows: about two tablespoonfuls—in plece of cheesecloth and tie securely so as to form a hard wad. Saturate this with olive ofl and rub it briskly over This will keep any dull finished wood surface free' frdm spots and looking like new. NEEDLEWORK NOTES.

These sets are made in the prettiest shades of dlue, mauve and canary Oriinary plaid dish toweling makes durable and cool looking covers for piazza pillows. Take, for instance, a fair sized check in red and white and embroider all the white checks with red lazy-daisies in silk or the red squares with white silk. A ruffle of the toweling bordered with red tape completes a good looking cover. Stencil designs are eminently fitted for summer draperies and cushion covers, Suitable hot weather pattens are sought by the worker who has an eye for the fitness of things. Sea shells with trailing seaweed scrolls and unconventiopal fish with ornamen- tal tails are among the clever ideas successfully worked out by one young artist. TEST FOR SILK. Why did your last year's silk split and crack? Because it was weighed. You might have tested it easily before purchasing and saved both money and worry. A bit of the silk and a match are all you need *for a sure test. Light the match and apply it to the fabric. If it holds its shape the silk is adulterated with some of the various minerals so used. If it melts down in burning and runs together in a puffy mass the silk is pure. This is one of the tests given in the corre- spondence ‘course in fabrics offered by the University of Wisconsin. CASHMERE AGAIN. Remor tells us that the cashmere which our mothers and grandmothers wo;e wxflh such dignity wtmme. an ich shion wned upon for m, is once " more to hold a place in popular favor, and that the dressmakers are planning fo show models made of this material in their early fall openings.
