Norvrich, Monday, April 5, 1915, The Bulletin has the largest circulation of any paper in East- ern Connecticut and from three to four times larger than that of any in Norwich. It is delivered to over 3,000 of ths 4,053 houses in Norwich, and read by ninety- three per cent. of the people. In Windham it is delivered to over 900 houses, in Putnam and Danielson to over 1,100 and in all of these places it is consid- ered the local daily. Eastern Connecticut has forty- nine towns, ome hundred and sixty-five postoffice districts, and sixtv rural free delivery routes. The Bulletin is sold in every town »-- on all of the R. F. D. routes in Eastern Connecticut. CIRCULATION 1801, -average ..........c. 4412 5,920 ooed RANK INJUSTICE TO NORWICH. By the proposed act which would take away over one-half of the town of Norwich for the formation of a new town, it is well to consider what the effect would be upon that portion which would be left, Norwich like every other progres- sive community is growing, and it ex- pects to continue to do so. It is well located, has the facilities and has been steadily developing its advantages for the purpose of attracting more indus- tries ang business, in all of which the whole town has figured, but where 1s such a growth going to take place If the two districts which are avail- mble for such are removed? Its nat- ural outlet is along the lines of the railroads, between and including which the section which it is proposed to grab lies. That which remains is sither shut oft frbm facilities or block- *d by such hills as Lanman’s, Lamb’s, Rockwell’s, Geer's and Jail hill. The plan s to take the very section f the town to Which the greatest at- tention has been paid and for which the greatest contributions have been made in the way of permanent invest- ‘ments. Norwich has made large out- lays, the benefits of which have been end are being enjoyed by the fourth &nd fifth districts, and all of which must be fost to the town If the peti- tion is granted. It isn't a case which will make no difference whichever way it goes, for it means a distinctive loss to all concerned. It means a per- manent detriment to Norwich and it will megn in the end no actual ben- efit to the proposed town, however alluring its possibilities may be painted. It is an unjust move which is being made by capital largely controlled not only outside the town, but outside the state, though prompted solely by an unfounded, imaginary fear. To sep- arate Norwich would be a permanent wrong which it cannot be believed the legislature will sanction, Surely it cannot act upon it without thor- foughly hearing in full the Yemon- strants and deciding the petition upon its merits. 1905, average TR O ADMIRAL FISKE’S RESIGNATION. The resignation of Rear Admiral Fiske as ald for operations in the navy department brings to attention the effect of inexperience trying to guide experiefice. Rear Admiral Fiske is known as a naval officer who is not only thoroughly posted upon the needs of that important branch of the nation’s defense, but he is fully acquainted with the existing short- comings. How thoroughly they dis- agreed upon policy and the state of _Preparedness was but recently dem- “bmstrated when Rear Admiral Fiske advocated a number of reforms which were opposed by Secretary Daniels, yet he did not hesitate to declare de- spM® the stand which the civil head of the department had taken in that regard that it would require five vears to bring the navy to a satisfactory state of-efficiency, ? Under such conditions there is nothing strange that the rear admiral should desire to be relieved of his job as adviser at Washington. It is quite evident that there was a lack of agreement which not only made the duty irksome, but made it absolutely impossible for the navy to set the attention which it deserves. It shows the harm in not following a fixed pojicy in regard to this important ch of the government. To have vital considerations neglected and ne- ceesities overlaoked because of ‘the superior tion of a civil head of the department for & brief time does not contribute to the strength of the nevy department, It displays a weak- ness where experfence is made sub- servient to inexperience and in refus- ing to change his stand under the ex- isting conditions and withdrawing from the position as aid it is only such action as might be expected and Tespected. The oldest American man of war is to be turned into junk, but it will not be.done in the manner which is ‘being earried out among some of the | Memsizn navies. CANNOT BE IGNORED. The discovery that there was an American aboard the Falaba who lost his life with a hundred or more others when that steamship was torpedoed by a German submarine gives this country an added duty in the pro- tection of American life and interests in the war zone. It is not likely that this govern- ment will go off at a tangent at the reported circumstances which attend- ed Mr. Thrasher's death, but there must be set underway an investiga- tion, which will obtain the facts, and all the facts for the determination of just what actlon is demanded, Wheth- er it was actually so or not, that the crew of the submarine watched the struggling passengers and laughed with delight as they saw the helpless non-combatants drown can be proved, but nothing but cold-blooded murder characterizes the blowing up of the Falaba without giving the passen- gers and crew an opportunity to es- cape. This absolute disregard for the rights of neutrals is what the govern- ment had in mind when it was stated in its recent note to Germany that the German government would be held to strict accountability. The commander of the Prinz Bitel Friedrich showed a flagrant disre- spect for neutral property in the des- truction of the Willlam P. Frye, but he did show respect for the lives of those aboard, which, however, was entirely lacking in the conduct of the submarine commander, whose action must be interpreted as the policy of Germany. It was a crime against civilization, even though all the pas- sengers had been British, but the tak- ing of the life of an American cannot be accepted in silence. JITNEY REGULATION, There will be more talk about the jitneys Dbefore there is less. This method of meeting the transportation question 1s forming the topic of wide- spread discussion and it is present- ing a new problem for municipal ad- justment which gives promise of some hard fought tussles with _existing transportation corporations. Whether additional facilities are provided by the electrics or whether the jitney takes its place in the cities as a com- petitor for the carrying of, the public, there is bound to be some interest- ing sessions before there are estab- lished the regulations which, are bound to come. In Springfield during the trolley strike the absence of this was to be nioted in the inclination to take ad- vantage of the public’s position by demanding unreasonable fares, though jitney is supposed to be another way of speaking of a nickel. In Providence the 600 or more cars which have been put into this service are making #t pay. They are making serious inroads into the income of the electric lines with the Tesult that railway employes are being lald off ang the suspension of operations by the federal trustees of the Rhode Is- land company is threatened unless something is done in the way of reg- ulation. Operating a taxi service has little or no effect upon- the business of the electric lines, but when the auto comes down to the nickel fare and operates | much heavier burdens bornQ by the railways on their established lines of service they cause a competition that cannot) help being serious and par- ticularly so If for any reason the pub- lic is dissatisfied with the accommo- dations of the electrics, EDITORIAL NOTES. April apparently couldn’t proceed without a fond but vigorous embrace from winter, When the Bitel Friedrich tles up to an army and a navy tug it certain- ly gets into good company, The man on the corner says: From the Easter display the overhead ex- pense has been heavy this spring. As the necessiry preparations for the flowers in May, the April show- ers will be welcomed in moderation, In keeping with the times ‘there appears with much promptness. and uncertain provocation the jitneyette. Only a few people really get stung by a presidential bee but according to Admiral Dewey they are an insect to be avoided. All that remains for the prophets to do is to bring forth satisfactory Proof that they saw and produced the April blizzard, Armies are belng organized to fight mosquitoes in this country, but the chances are the slaughter will be no greater than over in Burope. It ought not to have required a pro- hibition threat to make those at home in England understand thet they are as important as the men at the front. How much latitude for criticism is going to be allowed the suspects in the Pittsburg headquarters when they are being entertained by the quar- tette of bluecoats? That aeroplane flying over the Pan- ama canal may be for the purpose of becoming satisfled that it is the best fortified of any in the world, and then again it may not,- It the Eitel Friedrich must wait 24 hours after the departure of merchant vessels of ‘the allies, the allies can apparently control the stay of that vessel at Newport News. ‘When Secretary Garrison says pro- hibition in the army would be like taking a bottle from a baby, dces he refer to the ease with which it could Dbe done or the suffering that would follow? The railroads of the country have been made to Worry by the interstate commerce commission and bad bue- iness, but it isn't @, clrcumstance to what the jitneys ‘are doing to the trolley companfes, . It is impossible mot to appreciate the great service of the revenue cut- ters when it is shown that in Febru- ary they saved property worth over two million through ald extended to 11 vessels, to say nothing of the 734 lives concerned. The Hartford Times points out with good effect that if boys should not sell papers before 7 in the morning or after 7 at night, they shoula not be allowed to milk cows ‘or do chores about the farm, and why should they? Why mollycoddle the city and not the country boy? with only a slight tax asgainst thel| WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE. Cheesecloth bags in which to place green vegetables before putting into the refrigerator, help to keep thelr contents fresh and the refrigerator clean. They should be washed every week, \ ‘With a delicate child, it often tempts the appetite if the right food is served in different pretty dishes on different days—they ‘give a touch of imagina- tion which often helps along a meal. To prevent potatoes from becoming black when cooked, put them into cold water, and when brought to a _boil squeeze in a little lemon juice. They will keep & good color and be of good |’ flavor. * One way of broiling finnan_ haddie is to cut it in small squares, skin and parboil. Dry and broil over a clean fire untll it is a golden brown. Serve on a hot platter, with butter and lemon juice on each plece. A small quant'ty of carbolic acld added to paste, muscilage and ink will prevent mold. An ounce of the acid to a gallon of whitewash will keep cellars and dairies from the disagree- ablé odor which often taints milk and meat kept in such places. Tn order to have toast thin and crisp cut the slices from a loaf at least a day old. Dry in an oven before toast- ing and you will have a much more appetizing morsel than if made in the old way. A teapot should never be put away ‘with the lig closed, as dampness will gather in it and make it musty. = A small stick placed under one side of the lid will admit enought air to keep it dry and sweet. If the house wife who takes away sets of napkins to be hemmed on vaca- tion will first run them through the sewing machine hemmer, with un- threaded needle she will have them evenly marked for hem turning. WHEN FAT IS RIGHT. More good doughnuts have been made tough and hard, more delecta- ble croquettes have been cooked to Dieces, more French fried potatoes have been rendered either soggy or else scorched by fat at the wrong temperature when these various dainties were cooked than most cooks care to think of. Fat should always be tested carefully before anything of value is intrusted to its seething depths. Here is a simple test: Cut a cube of bread an inch square and drop it into the fat when it is hot. If_it browns to a golden shade in a minyte the fat is hot enough to cook uncooked food — French fried pota- toes, liver and bacon, crullers, etc. I it browns in forty seconds to the same golden shade the fat is hot enough fors cooked food—rice cro- quettes, cooked meat croquettes and the like. VELVET FOR LITTLE GIRLS. Girls from 12 to 15 are following the example of their clders for afternoon in the wearing of velvet frocks. These ustally have over-blouses, or long waisted effects with the top skirt of velvet and the short underskirt of satin or pleated chiffon. A collar of real lace and a satin belt or sash completes a very smart little cos- tume which can be worn without a coat as warmer weather approaches. HEALTH AND BEAUTY, Exercise in a moderate and system- atie way is essential to good health. Do not fail to indulge in it. Use common table salt freely in the bath., It is invigorating and im- parts a youthful glow and freshness to the skin as nothing else has the power to do. It is most soothing, too, if the body is irritated or affiicted with hives. | If you wish to avoid having a pro- tuberant abdomen, exerclse freely and avold excess of sweets and starchy foods. In bending, stooping, climb ing and squatting the abdominal mus- cles are brought into play and kept in ;good condition. There is no perfect preventive for freckles, although they can be partial- ly prevented by using a cream and then a good face powder before being exposed to the sun. Applications of very hot water to the. face after be- ing exposed will relieve sunburn. Whenever_possible exercise in the open air. Walking, running, swim- ming and mountain climbing will de- velop the lungs, chest and heart and put on muscle instead of ugly, super- fluous ~fat. One great advantage about these exercises is that they are free and can be enjoyed by the poor as well as the wealthy. There_is no time in the year when the care of the complexion is so im- perative as in the springtime. Notice women's faces as you walk along the street or talk to a chance acquain- tance you meet. Nine out of ten look haggard, sallow and thin; many will honestly tell you that thiy are tired to death with the house cuties or so- clal obligations. SILK FRUIT. Silk fruit in pale colors, silk fruit in intense colors, or for that matter silik fruit in any color will continue to be a most popular trimming this spring. Purchased at & shop, the prices are prohibitive for many girls, but made at thome the cost is pro- portionately nothing. Circles of silk or kid, firmly packed with cotton and drawn up snugly, is the recipe. ‘Add a French knot, draw- ing the silk all the way through the fruit so that it flattens it correctly and fasten the thread tilghtly to the other side. Or in gold or green silk or some contrasting color, work a tiny circle in chain stitch (before filling _with cotton), then fill and draw up the cover. 'In the center of the -circle place’ a French knot and tighten firm- ly to the opposite side. NEW IDEAS IN BLOUSES. Practically every new blouse car- rles a high collar; at least it is high at the back and usually buttons up in the front. They are smart, even if . they are .not as comfe ble as were _the collars of last s Some are finished with a soft roll edge; others have the old-fashioned stock of satin with a tunover of a contrast- ing material, and in all cases. the long sleeves are finished in a manner similar to the collar. Buttons are used in quantities. ‘While many of the waists are worn inside the skirt all_are mot, many having a peplum addition. DICTATES OF FASHION. The soft box coat is fashionable. Collarettes of 'plaited new. Round- short skirts will moon be here. velvet Lace and net blouses are worn with tall(‘:red suits. 5 TNo callestion of frocks i complete without one black and white com- bination. Voiles are the favorite among sheer white cotton goods. Reglan sleeves are as much used as ever In fur lined coats. BElaborate novelty vells are worn draped loosely over the hats. Russian blouse effects are peculirly suitable for young people. - Fashionable debutantes are permit- ted no jewels except a ring or two. Long princess effects are expected to rival the round, full skirts. Some of the best Paris dressmakers are cutting their blouses low in the neck, round or square. The long peasant blouse, belted and with high collar, marks some of the spring silk frocks. Sailor collars, cut In new and ef- fective curves appear on meny at- tractive blouses for early spring wear. Among the new changeable silks are noted warm russet and golden browns, shot with rose, purple and blue. A single bow or rose trims the new torpedo shaped hats. These are mod- ish and look well with the severely tailored street suit. BORDERED GOODS. Bordered goods are among the spring novelties. Uniike the bordered goods that have been in favor other scasons, the most interesting of :the new goods will have the border not woven in, but of a different material. This furnishes another opportunity for embroidery, for the contrasting fabric will be joined to the other material by means of fancy stitches. Such bordered fabrics have been used by some of the designers in the mnew models and it Is thought that they will be well accepted by the general publi FRINGE A8 TRIMMING. Fringe of many sorts is still used. Some of the newest skirts show an edging of fringe at the bottom. There is a silk corded fringe that is often used with faille. And there is a fringe made of strands of beads that is used 2 good deal on evening frocks. CARE OF IRONS. Irons should be kept in a dry place and not allowed to cool on the stove. They should never be put right on to the ‘fire to heat, as this spoils the smooth surface. When heated over gas a sheet of block tin or iron should be placed over the flame, as moisture which forms rust settles on the irons if they come into direct contact with the gas. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. If you want to make something dif- ferent from the usual round of square doilies and centerpieces, why not make a bread tray and platter set? ‘This consists of from three to five oval doilies, The bread tray doily is, of course, quite small and is intended for the inside of the tray. The platter doflies are larger and are Intended to rest under the turkey, roast or steak plate. ? These sets may be made in several ways, ranging from simplicity to elaboration. One very beautiful set seen upon an exquisite table is_ of linen, but not sheer linen, with five- Detaled blossoms and formal * leaves worked in solid stitch. Connecting the blossoms are little lines of eyelets. The edges of the doilies are straight and buttonhole-stitched and this in turn is edged with cluny. The lace about the larger oval doily is about two inches in width and that about the smaller platter doilies an inch. The lace used for the platter doily should be from a half to three- quarters of an inch in width. The complete set consists of a doily each for the turkey, toast and steak plates and two doilles for bread trays. Three doilies, however, those for the roast and steak plates and one for the bread tray, make a very impressive gift for any feminine anniversary. SASH CURTAINS. “The prettiest of sash curtains can easily be designated by the woman who {s at all handy with her needle. Few, indeed, are the seasons when the remnant counters will not yield short lengths of plald lawn, dimity, crossbarred muslin, dotted ewiss or even finer grades of white or cream- colored cheesecloth. Cheesecloth looks well for several months, even longer, and after a dozen washings the plain little curtains are ready for. yeoman service as dusters and polishing cloths, and fresh curtains can be put up at a moderate cost. But is is with the slightly more dur- eble fabrics that the best results can be obtained. Plain lawn with a deli- cate figure stencilled on the two-inch hem to harmonize with the coloring of the room is in good taste. Failing skill in the use of stencils, it is an easy matter to add to the plain breadths of pure white hems of fig- ured material, or vice versa, or fo insert between hems and body of cur- s insertions of inexpensive lace or the wider and heavier quality of foot- ing.

'THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socioty Colonial Troops on Firing Line— Asia, Africa and Australasia have fur- nished their_quotas of men to the fir- ing lines in Europe. Among these for- eign troops that have most distin- guished themselves in European war- fare are the French Turcos and the English Singhalese. This is the first appearance of the Singhalese upon Bu- ropean battlefields, but the Turcos have been employed on the white con- tinent several times. The Singhalese are natives of Ceylon, There are, strictly speaking, about ! 2,500,000 of them. They are settled in the central and southern divisions of the island.

They are descendants of col- onists from the valley of the Ganges, who are thought to have settled in Ceylon about 500 years before the birth of Christ. ‘The Singhalese have remained a sta- tionary folk since the opening of the Christian era. Their costumes, cus- toms and manner of life are much the same today that they were more than 2,000 years ago. In appearance, the men of this people are peculiarly ef- feminate. Their bodies are slender and their features are delicate. Their dress is womanish, even to the ex- tent of fastening their long hair back from the forehead by means of dainty wombs. The men, also, wear ear-rings. Nevertheless, the Singhalese have managed to cover themselves with glory by brilllant service in the fear- ful battlefields of Europe. The Turcos are a French military organization; not a folk. ‘Turcos’ is the name which the French have ap- plied to those troops that they have formed out of natives of Algeria. They are of Arabic and negro stock, and are among the best trained colonial troops in_the world. The Turcos were organized in the first instance, as was also the case with the Foreign Legion, solely for em- ployment in Algeria. However, France ound use for them in other fields In 1859, the Turcos,went through their first European campaign in Italy. Trese same troops won international renown, when, in 1870-71, their desper-,| ate fighting proved one of the most serious obstacles to German success upon more than one battlefield. Again in 1884, the Turcos saw service in the far distant French province in China. MRS. THOMSON TELLS WOMEN How She Was Helped During Change of Life by.Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable * Compound.
