EWell fortified though it was there was @10 reason to expect that Tsing Tau jcould hoid out against superior num- lbers and stremgth. Japan moved jagainst it with full preparations for utting it off from suppiies and bat- down its fortifications. Its fall as good as accomplished from the ery start and Germany witnesses the wppearance of this valuable posses- ien along with other possessions in part of the world, Such also completes Japan's cam- dgn o far as the taking of terri- fory is concerned. Its future opera- ons in the war under oxisting condi- ftions are likely to be confined to op- jerations with the navy in the protec- ~ iton of shipping, both Japanese and #British, while it leaves vessels free to un down the German warships which are occasionally adding to their de- ipredations. That Japan has declared.it will re- possessfon of Tsing Tau until ‘the close of the war is not surprising, Put the whole world 1s interested in the carrying out of the promise to de- fliver it over to China that German ence may be driven from that Tt of the world. It is in this fulfill- gment that the world will judge the sincerity of the mikado in his willing- mess to spend money and sacrifice life Hor the sake of China and the future pfithe war east. BERNARD SHAW'S APPEAL. ItAs an interesting suggestion which as been made by G. Bernard Shaw an open letter to President ‘Wilson, {when he asks this nation as the lead~ ler among the neutrals to request Ger- mary, Frence and Great Britain to ease their fighting in Belgium, with- ldraw to other territory than that of % neptral nation and not heap more frouble and devastation upon the in- nogent liftle country, He considers | zhat the United States should take the ; n guch a movement and his be- in the successful outcome of such an updertaking s evidenced by his decjaration that “even the strongest ,wiu- dr even ailied group of powers “ecan have its position completely chenged by an expression of public, ppinion by the rest of the world” Such a requost is likely to bo treat- P4 with the lack of formality with wihich it is presented. It is simply fhe Tevetition of an appeal which was made earlier in the war and to which answer is the same now as it then that it is a fight from which counfry must refraln, It has ex- fended the offer of its good offices Whenever they are needed, The fu- Hlity of pointing out to the contending nations the need of getting out of absolute control for & continuous pe- riod of four vears. | It cannot help being realized, how- bver, that the 1912 election Tesult was an accident and whatever margin the democrats hold in the next congress will be still attributed to & like condl- tion. The progressive party has prac- tically disappeared in the rush of its supporters to uphold the republican principles, but in its 4ying gasp there were instances where it still con-| tributed to the success of democratic candidates by small margins. Such is what-makes up the slight control which the democrats will con- tinue to have at Washington. The remarkable display of republican strength, even in districts and states where administration endorsement and efforts were devoted to democratic candidates, canuot fafl of its lesson. ‘To interpret it otherwi than a re- buke to the policies which have been followed ond ss = warning _signal b calis for respect, Will be the rankest kind of folly. 1If, as freely expressad, the landelide was a great surprise to the democrats, they cannot “fford to stdetrack its meaning, even rthough they do comtrol in congre A NEEDED REFORM. Haying been through the mill and whereof he speaks, it is 1 possible to give no heed to the advice of ¥ r President Taft. In his ad- dress before the Harvard law school upon the presidency he referred to the need of much reform in connection with that office and declared among other important things that ‘“the removal of a large share of the presi- dent’s appointments from rpolitica! control is as fmportant a practical re- form as any that now confronts us. The power of patronage is one of the unfortunate possessions of a prestdent who undertakes the admin- istration of the nation’s affair for its own best interests; because of the ne- cessity in contributing to political control to overlook experience and merit for the building up of a ma- chine and the currying of political fa- vor. Aside from the many offices which are filled by appointment of the president. the need of this reform is disclosed in the weakened support which in the past year and a half has been given to civil service rules and regulations. Such of course has been for control without regard fo the character of the service which ought to be demanded. The reform which Mr, Taft points out is unquestionably an important one but because of the very thing which it would accomplish, a lessen- ing of the power and control of the president, it 1s something which is not likely to gather much speed all st once, but there can be no question but what it should receive its due share of attention.

Tea towels last longer and look better if hemmed. SPOTTED GLOVES. Many a girl has had pairs of kid gloves ruined simply because she-did not know how to save them. If gloves spotted by rain or other water aze allowed to dry there is no hope for them. They are irreparably ruinel. But if, while they are still damp; they are kept on the hands and rubbed gently with a damp cloth the spots will disappear. There is no use try- ing gasoline, benzine or anything else for water spots. A cloth dampened with plain_water, but not wet, is the only remedy. A PATTERN POCKET. A pattern pocket will e found a sreat convenience. Take a strip of plain cloth of the required lensth and make on it as many pockets as there are members of the family. Outline an Initial on each pocket and hang in a convenient place near your sew- ing table. Much time will be saved in searching for any particular pattern. NEW TABLE LINEN. New table linen is featured by one of the exclusive shops. It shows a plain linen eround with a diagonal satin damask stripe, about a quarter of an inch wide, at intervals of about an inch. Thi i stitched table napkins of vari- ous sizes, plate and other table doilies and runners. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Women with long, thin necks shouid not wear collarless blouses, as the ef- feet is not good. Knitting the brows when reading or working is a habit certain to produce disfizuring lines on the face. Heavy hats cause headaches and are very bad for the hair. A hat shonld be light and should not be worn so tightly on the head 4s to exclude all the air. Tack of ventilation for the hair is one of the causes of baldness. Many women allow their faces to become tense and set and then won- der why lines develop. Relax the muscles, cultivate a pleasant expres- sion and remember that lips which curve upward and smile are much more attractive than the droopiag sort. In severe cases of iliness where the patient is disturbed by the noise made in closing the door, tie one corner of a handkerchief around the knob on one side of the door, and the opposite corner around the knob on the other side. “The door will now close noisa- lessly on the folds of the handker- chief. Headaches caused by worry or ex- haustion may be relieved by very simple means. If possible, put on loose clothing, loosen the hair and supply yourseif with a bowl of hot water and several topels. Wet the towels in the hot water and apply back of the ears and to the base uf the brain. Change these often and you will soon find relief. A hot foot bath hastens the process. FAD FOR TEA. ‘Women 1in this country have never made the afternoon tea of so much consequence as the English until re- cently; but now it is quite the fad to drink tea at 5 o'clock in the after- noon, whether one has guests or not. There are all sorts of pretty things to be found in the shops to make the tea table attractive. One of these is 2 sandwich holder that can be clamped to the saucer, as there are no plates with afternoon tea, even at the formal affairs.

Mr. Editor: A week has passed since election day—surely time enough in which to catch our breath and review the political situation. Flection always brings surprises—and disappointments. One of the eurprises is how a town made up of intelligent, thinking citi- zens, as I trust the town of Franklin to be thus composed, could cast aside business principle and be ruled by the hand of politics. Was it the voice of the property owners—the taxpavers — that selected a mers boy to represent the town in the legislature, ..Or was it the voice of politics, guided by the hand of one or tivo so-called leaders? While a youth who has just passed his 2ist birthday “might possess every es- sential of virtue, would you place your business affairs in his hands?” ~Yet you have elected him to-the highest office within the power of a town to grant. The responsibilities connected with this office are enough to stagger older men who have had years of training in the business world. This youthful citizen, upon whose shoulders rests such responsibilities, should have been tested and trained in the smaller affalrs of the town, and when he had heard the words “Well done, thou good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a fow t 1 will make thee ruler over many,” he would have been fitted to represent the best interests of the town. Our legislature needs experienced men— men _capahle of forming laws that will bulld up humanity. I would suggest that our youthful legislator-elect study not only ‘the pledges of the republican party as expressive of a genuine de- mand on the part of the people, but that he should read the platforms of all other parties. He should study the needs of his community and put his shoulder to the best cause—regardless of politics. Instead of waiting until he gets to Hartford and is entered in the beginners' class of legislators, it might be well for him to send for the reports of the auditor and other state officers and begin to inform himselt on legistative problems.
