It can hardly be expected by any legislature that the shifting of expense from one till to another is going to Te- sult in any benefit to the state or to the people thereof who must make up the deficiencies. Such, however is ap- parently the object of a bill which has been introduced for the temporary withholding of state aid for the town schools during 1915 and such year as a state tax is payable. This involves a matter of a million and a half at least but when it is realized that it is an expense which must be met, whether it is handled through the state or directly by the towns through addi- tional town taxes. it is difficult to see where any benefit is going to accrue to the taxpayers of the state. By the idea it might operate to overcoming a state tax, but what is to be gained by such a step if the tax for that very purpose must fall upon the individual taxpayers just the same through a town instead of a state tax? It has not been discovered that the schools of the state are too good or that they have been brought to a point of wastefulness by the present method of using each and every town alike. Neither can it be seen that there) will be any relief extended to the people of Connecticut. If there will be a saving by such a plan those who have discovered it should give a dem- onstration thereof. It is quite apparent that it would create confusion without changing the burden of the taxpayer one particle, and it is a question if such a change would not be followed by the inclina- tion to use a like sum in meeting ap- peals for other state appropriations which if the present plan is retained would be curtailed. NEEDS LEGISLATIVE HELP. The need of developing the dyestuffs industry in this country so that iAmer- ica will not be at the mercy of a foreign monopoly is getting more rec- ognition every day. This country uses dyestuffs to the amount of about fif- teen million dollars every yea:. Ger- many is the country which holds the monopoly at present, yet this country provides a large amount of the raw material from which the an- aline dyes are made. This country produces but about one-fifth of what it uses of such dyes because of the excellent development which the Ger- mans have made in the use of by- products. Relative to the dyestuffs situation Becretary Redfield reports that “there seems to be a consensus of opinion that any rapid development and evolu- tion of the dvestuffs branch on a scale commensurate with the nation’s needs, present and prospective, can be as- sured only on the basis of an ef- fective law preventing that action towards the control of our markets by a foreign monopoly which is now pro- hibited to a domestic monoply.” The dyestuff situation cannot fail to comtinue to be of much concern to this country. It shows an existing op- portunity for the development of a domestic Industry to at least five times its present size. With the raw mate- rial it 1s a sorry admission that we have to make that we are dependent upon foreign production, because for- eign competition under its working conditions and unified control can drive us out of the business. It ought to be apparent even to a democrat that legislative assistance is demanded for this very line of business, until at least it can get on its feet. 'RETALIATION IN WAR. Throughout the war there have been |’ frequent claims of needless cruelty, devastation and barbarous treatment. It has been thrown upon the shoul- ders of one country and then another. Just who started it-may never be known, but there is no doubt that there have been invitations sufficient for the returning of like with like, and there can be no question but what retaliation has played an important part in the warfare. It was only a few months ago that the army of invasion was laying waste Belgium, the country which was protected by a treaty of peace and which believed that it would be re- spected. Cities were razed, old his- disrespect through the airship and naval attacks upon unfortified places. All this was just what might have been expected to result in retaliation. Where rules of war or regard for hu- manity are not respected by one side, it can hardly be expected that similar treatment will be overlooked when the enemy gets its opportunity even though it may not right the previous wrong. Such would appear to be the policy, however, upon which Russia acted when driven from East Prussia, if thé stories of devastation left in the wake &f that army are true. Russia has apparently repeated in that portion of the German empire what has been done vreviously throughout Belgium. It shows not only the most horrible side of war, but it likewise indicates what may be expected by the belli- gerent that institutes such practices. War by the rules is bad enough, but when they are discarded there appears to be no limit to the havoc. CONSOLIDATING COMMISSIONS. The favorable report on the measure consolidating the bank commission and the building and loan commission, and at the same time making it sinsle headed is a move in accordance with the existing needs. As was declared by Commissioner Holt after the resig- nation of Commissioner Lippitt from the bank commission the duties could be handled effectively and efficlent- ly by a single commissioner and at the request of Governor Baldwin they were so administered until Commis- sioner Holt this month resigned to accept a_bank presidency. That attl- tude and action has also been sup- ported by former Commissioner Lip- pitt, while the addition thereto of the work of the building and loan commis- sioner would not overburden such an official, particularly if he is given the appointment of a deput&z Such would mean a move towards the elimination of needless salary ex- D e, even though the recommenda- ion of the bank committee is that the salary of the commissioner be fixed at $5,000 and his deputy at $2,500. It means the elimination of one commis- sion which can well be abolished, and a stand in behalf of economy, which h small, can be commended. Tt is in accordance with the suggestion of the governor, and the attitude of his predecessor, while it must be recog- nized as a move which takes into con- sideration the businesslike conduct of just such state work, and there are good reasons for believing that the change will meet with the approval of the legislature as well as the com- mittee. AMERICAN PASSPORTS, The investigations which are being made relative to the Stegler confes- sion concerning a conspiracy to fraud- ulently obtain and use American pass- ports deserve to be carried to a finish for the protection of the American people. It may prove as claimed that the Stegler story is simply that of an over-enthusiastic reservist, but if such a practice as he alleges is being car- ried out there is no time like the pres- ent to find it out. The American passport should be respected wherever it is displayed. If it is genuine and the holder is not masquerading under false colors, it will be, but if such papers are being used for the purpose of making more effective and easy a system of espion- age grave danger faces the honest holder and the protection of the docu- ment is lowered. Thus it is incumbent upon this na- tion, as has been realized before, to see that every such alleged attempt to throw suspicion upon American pass- ports is fathomed, and if the truth of the clalms is established steps must be taken to check immediately all such practice, letting the punishment pr disgrace fall where it will. The safe- ty of and respect for citizens of this country while abroad at the present time depends greatly upon the genu- iness of their passports. This coun- try thereby insures them proper treat- ment to such an extent that it can- not for 2 moment overlook any scheme torical and religious edifices were bad- ly damaged or destroyed and homes went up in smoke. Subsequently the lives of non-combatants were held in .. ~ o~ for imposing upon its guarantee of citizenship. EDITORIAL NOTES. Forward March. In thesé days of mined areas it is well to follow the well beaten paths. Spring in its advancement meets with encouragement and checks much the same as the belligerents. ‘What has become of that old fash- ioned habit of organizing an expedi- tion to locate the North pole? The man on the corner says: At this season of the year everybody begins to dislike the paper on the wall. Any nervousness in Washington these days can be attributed to the worry of packing in antlclpation of going home. Frightful conditions are depicted by missionaries, but from the New London revelations that city could give points to the heathen. The general assembly is not only proving to itself, but to all the cold water throwers that ft can do bus- iness on Friday. - The idea of breaking up of Texas into several states may be looked upon politically as a reinforcement of con- crete construction. As much as economy is demanded congress cannot see its way to sep- arating itself from the imaginary ben- efits of the free seed distribution. All the revolutionary chiefs of Hayti have sworn allegiance to General Guil- laume, and thus commences his diffi- cult task of trying to satisty them all. Every sign of the early arrival of spring has beén furnished except the monotonous chatter of the peep frogs and the inspiring music of the hand- organ. There may be no woodpile at that proposed farm de Gink which it is de- sired to have the president authorize in Arizona, but there ought to be plen- ty of work picking the spikes off the cacti. ‘Germany has promised to respect the Italian flag in the war zone. That in- dicates that it is able to discern neu- tral vessels if it wants to. It admits that there is no excuse for mistaken identity, The suggestion is made that the strap hanging partlality in street cars be overcome by making everybody stand. That might be all right but what a rumpus there would be over insisting upon standing on the other fellow’s feet. ; WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE When hot cloths are needed con- stantly in time of sickness, keep a colander full of them over kettle half full of boiling water. the kettle covered on the back the range. a Keep ot Colored goods should be ironed while damp and upon the wrong side. Delicate colors should not be subjected to a hot iron, because this fades them quite as much as hanging on the line in the suQ. A good luncheon dish is made of the macaroni and stewed tomatoes left from the night before. Heat them over together and serve, or pour into a baking _dish, cover with bread crumbs and bake tiil brown. A bad scorch may respond to a mix- ture of fuller's earth, powdered soap and vinegar formed into a paste and spread over the scorch. After drying, the plaster should be brushed away and repeated, if necessary. For savory baked potates, wash and scrub the potatoes until thoroughly clean, then wipe dry. Bake one hour in a steady oven. Break open and dress with salt, pepper and cream. Serve in the jackets in a fringed nap- kin. FOR FURNITURE. Every article of furniture or wood- work to be revarnished or re-enamel- ed or strained should be cared for in this way: Wash the article of fur- niture thoroughly with water and very liftle soap. Then dry thorough- ly. Now wrap a soft cloth around a sharp pointed stick to reach into all the corners and carvings. It ma: be said that if you take good care of the corners the rest of the piece will almost finish itself. After the piece of furniture is dry sandpaper carefully with No. 00 sand- paper. Be very carefu] to work only with the grain of the wood so_that no cross scratches will show. Be sure that you get a smooh surface. Now dust the furniture very care- fully with a soft duster. If the room is warm you are ready to varnish. Remember that varnish runs. Watch carefully for any indication of this while the varnish is wet, as nothing can be done after it is set. If you detect a drop or a running streak quickly and carefully brush across, after wiping the brush on the edge of the can as free from varnish as pos- sible. Always choose a warm room for the work of refinishing. It should be free from drafts and the windows on no account must be opened, for fine particles of dust will settle on the wet varnish and spoil its smooth- ness. CARPET LAYING. Every housewife when putting down a carpet has experienced trouble In smoothing out the humps, but if she will slide a pair of overshoes over her shoes she will find the situation sim- plified. The rubber enables the car- pet to be drawn out and stretched by simply walking or pushing the carpet with the feet from the center to the corners. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Sharp instruments ehould never be inserted under the nails for any pur- pose ‘whatsoever. An orangewood stick, one of ivory or pearl may be used’to gently push back the cuticle from the base of the nail. Essentlal oil of turpentine has been found most efficacious in relieving pain and stiffness in the finger joints; also massage the hands regularly ev ery night with a skin food. This pre- serves the texture of the skin. Enlarged pores—which so many wo- men are troubled with—are mostly due to improperly washing the face. The pores become clogged and they necessarily have to dilate in order to breathe. Pores, like the lungs, must have air, and if deprived of it in one way they stretch and grow to attain it in another way. Flushing of the face after meals, especially after breakfast, sometimes occurs in cases of stomach disorders. The feet and hands often become cold. When constipation is present a little magnesia will often relieve the con- dition. Again, a glass of warm Vichy water taken half an hour before each meal acts as a corrective. Women who find it necessary to perform household tasks are often careless about the hands, which is not to their credit by any means. The hands when once roughened are hard to make nice again. and it is almost a crime to spoil a beautiful hand with rough work when this is unnecessary for it is almost always easy to protect them in one way or another. One should take pride in her hands for her own sake and should also remem- ber that a stranger will judge a woman by her hands more certainly than in any other way. DEVICE FOR SINK. ‘A device for the kitchen sink that has proved successful in keeping the drain pipes clean is made of a wooden frame and ordinary window screen. Make a wooden frame, about two inches high, just wide enough to fit nicely into the sink, and not quite as long as the inside of the sink. On one end of this nail a board, covering about half the length of the frame; on the other end, on the opposite side, -mail a plece of wire window screen. This device may be kept in the sink always, the dish pan set on the wood- en part, and anything poured on the other part will be strained before reaching the pipes. This may be easily renewed at small expense, when worn through. It is better than the ordinary sink strainer, as it covers the bottom of the sink and catches everything thrown into it. DAINTY EYELETS. Eyelet forget-me-nots are made by working a_ circle of six small dots around a dot of the same t.ze in the center. The dot in the center is werked in solid stitch, whils the sur- rounding ones are made into round evelets. The flnished work is not un- like a coventionalized forget-me-not usually with some bolder motif, al- though the clusters, if connected with rihbon or festoons of solidly embroid- ered leaves, would make -an attrac- tive decoration for lingerie. DICTATES OF FASHION. 'The wallet shaped leather bag is the most popular. Natural blue and dved blue fox are greatly in vogue. Opera bags of hand painted velvet are something new. Evening gowns are trimmed with beaded and silk tassele. The braiding on velvet gowns most el te. Half and half stockings are new and striking, The upper part of these is new stockings are in decided con- t to the lower part. A straight line at the base of the neck is decidedly trying. Orange blossom girdles are a fea- ture on the new bridal robes. Much in demand will be the buttons of brass, silver and steel.” Sashes now often mold the hips, but require the greatest care in arrange- ment. In the coming season there will be a great deal of black milinery braid used, also neutral shades and shades matching the dress goods. Many an old evening gown can be delightfully freshened with the help of lace tunics and coatees. Maline ruches very high in the back and low in front, opening at the throat, are a charming neck finish. Sleeves are showing a tendency to- ward fullness at the wrist, the fuilness being gathered into rather deep cuff. There is a new material being used for evening gowns that closely re- sembles corduroy. It is called crys- talline, A bag of Persian silk with a hole in the bottom is useful to hold the ball of lacing for underclothes. USE KNITTING NEEDLES. A pair of long wooden knitting needles are most excellent for drain- ing doughnuts. As the doughnuts are fried slip them on a needle and when it is full rest it on top of a pan to cool. The doughnuts do not crush and the lard drains off. FOR BLACK SHOES, The best way to keep black shoes from looking worn, and also from breaking, is to dip a small flannel rag in olive oil-and rub it into the leather. If it needs further rubbing or wiping, take a fresh dry flannel rag and go r it. This method keeps footwear wck without polishing it and pro- vides a dull finish. TO CLEAN ROASTER. To clean the double roaster fill the under pan half full of cold water as scon as the meat and gravy are re- mcved and place on the front of the stove. When dinner is over and all the other dishes done clean, the roasting pan in the usual way and you will have no trouble with it. LAUNDRY HINTS. All colored materials will have a b_ednter finish if ironed on the wrong side. If the colored fabric is washed for the first time it should be laid in salt and water or vinegar and water for 20 minutes. The former is used for pink and blue shades and the latter for green and mauves, The proportions are a handful of salt or a half-teacupful of vinegar to a gallon of cold water. The thin sum- mer flannel blouses require the utmost care in washing. They should never be allowed to soak over five minutes and soap must never be used directly upon them. Neither must the water be too hot. All these cause shrinkage, but the greatest of all is caused by rubbing on the soap. & Flannel is covered by minute hairs and soap rubbed on will make these mat together. This, of course, will shrink the garment. After washing flannel in good suds there should be two rinsings using warm water and a little borax both times. d WHEN YOU SWEEP. Tor sweeping a room neatly there is nothing like newspaper aid. Take a page of newspaper or other con- venient paper, wet in hot water and squeeze until it ceases to drip. Tear into pieces the size of one’s hand, cast them all over the carpet, then sweep, and most of the dust in_the room, if you use your broom judici- ously, will be gathered into the papers. Aftef a velvet or other heavy pile carpet is thoroughly swept, a spong- ing with ammonia and water will pre- serve its brightness wonderfully. UTILIZING LACE SHAWLS. Those who possess old style shawls of Chantilly, Spanish, Burges or Ital- ian laces may renew them with an eye to to toward their ultimate ushge. Laces of this description and shape may be fashioned into wonderfully effective capes without gutting or de- facing their delicate threads or alter- ing them in any way. They should be mounted on mousseline, chiffon and satin lining and may be affixed to handsome collars of brilliant hued vel- Vets or be decorated with furs. FOR INVALIDS. Put half a gallon of pure milk into a stone jar, cover with strong writ- ing paper and tie down tightly. Leave it in a moderate oven for about eight hours, or until it has become the con- sistency of cream. CONCERNING WOMEN. Berlin has a financial daily news- Ppaper for women. ‘Japan has 52,000 girls attending the high schools in' that country. London school teachers are on a strike for a minimum salary of $500 a year. Females outnumber the males in Philadelphia, New York, Baltimore and Boston. Mrs. Anna R. Vogel of Detroit is the ch:u;rapion woman live bird shot of the world. Miss Sarah Purser has been ap- polnted governor and guardian of the National Art gallery of Ireland. Over 800,000 children die annually through the ignorance of parents in the knowledge of baby hygiene. Mrs. Emma Lutz Harrel of Custer City, Okla., has given birth to her twenty-first child. Mrs. Harrel is 45 years old and her husband 49. Six- teen of the children are living and only one is married. The women of the Edinburg (N. D.) Civic league harvested 300 bushels of potatoes for the money to be used as part of a fund for the work of the or- ganization. The women were anxious ‘| to make some money and rented an acre of land from which the potatces were harvested. The crop will net about $65, or enocugh for the club's expenses for the year.

A song into which a Welch soldier with a magnificent voice put his heart and soul brought about a temporary truce during the fighting near Dix- mude recently. The soldier Wwho writes of the incident says: “It was a miserable night. A heavy rein had filled the trenches knee- deep with half-frozen mud. ‘There was no sound except the ‘plop’ of a German bullet against the earth of the parapet and the crack of a Bri- tish_rifle in return. “We were unprepared for any break in the dull misery of our routine, when out of the darkness came a voice. It was a merry Welsh ballad called ‘Hob y deri dando’, sung in as fine a voice as one could hear on the stage. It was the cheeriest sound I ever heard. At the end a round of applause came down the trenches. But imagine our surprise to hear clapping and calls for more, in good English, from the German trenches. Thereupon the gallant Welshman gave us “Mintra Gwen'. “Meantime, we realized that not a shot had been fired by either side during the song. We had forgotten all about war. So a bargain was struck with the Germans that Welshman would give us another song, neither side would fire any more until daylight. “The third song was “Hen Wlad fy Nhadau’ It was perhaps the first time the Welsh national anthem was ever heard on this dismal Flemish morass.” All Look Alike. ‘Warnings to the public to run and hide when German aircraft is seen, with explanatory pictures of the dif- ferent types of craft in black sil- ‘houette, have been posted in pub- lic places around London. But so many and so varied are the types that only an abserver of exceptional pow- Children Ory FOR FLETCHER'S it thel’ MON. TUES.

The people are asked to make for the nearest house and take refuge in the basement if the machine seems to be German. They are also reminded, however, that British craft have a habit of cruising about at night. Britain has no airship of the shape and size of the Zeppelin. But the difference between the cigar and sausage shaped dirigibles of the other German types and the corresponding machines of British make it not like- 1y to impress untrained observers. The difference consists mainly in the hanging of the cars. As for aeroplanes, the German pe- culiarity is in the tips of the wings, which slant back with a bird-like ef- fect. But the outline must be sharp- ly seen to recognize the difference. Large and interested crowds collect during the day about the placards, studying the silhouette pictures of the craft and digesting the directions relative to raids.
