When Germany charges the United States with discrimination against that country and its aily in matters of di- plomacy and attempts to show that favoritism has been shown to Great Pritaln and its allies, it calls for just such resentment as it is indicated will ‘be manifested by Washington. It is a one-sided view of the situation which is_entirely unjustified. This country has declared for neu- trality and it is pursuing the middle of the road policy steadfastly. The claim that this country is tolerating the sale of munitions of war to the allies has been pushed forward for a long time in an effort to secure an embargo upon such exports. It has 1905, average ........... April 8... & | ! | “ been for the purpose of indirectly aid- ing those countries in the alliance to ‘the detriment of those in the entente, whereas this country has taken the position that it has its own indus- triss to consider and that it is as will- ing to sell to one country as to an- Wther. Whatever inability there has been to take advantage of its pos- tion has been due to the barriers es- tablished by the enemy. It is equally wrong to declare that this country has not worked for the modification of the order in council and for the rights of neutrals. Facts phow it otherwise and still engaged, but Germany fails to give considera- tion to its own responsibility for be- ing shut off from fodstuffs by act of the enemy. It is to be remembered that Great Britain took steps to shut off provisions only after that govern- ment took charge of all food supplies In the country. It is not the fault of the United States that Germany has Dot been able to keep open its lines of ion than it was that it lost Its cables. Germany’s claim is with- out merit and should be resented. INIQUITOUS TIPS. The facts which have been brought out relative to tipping as the result of the investigation of the Pullman company are not at all surprising. It s only what is to be expected when- ever and_wherever such & policy is introduced. Even though the porters are paid only $40 a month or thero- abouts and are allowed to accept tips ‘which amount to an average of $75 a month there is 1o reason to expect * that there would be any improvement 1n the attention received by the trav- eling public if the railroads paid the Porters a proper wage, as long as it is jmpossible to prevent the giving of tipe. Johnsor fight, five years ego, that leg- islation was sought at the in- stance ©of southern congressmen to prevent the showing of those pictures, It was looked upon as a time to pre- vent any race conflicts by anticipating the possibilities and legislating against them. The law which was passed at that time has not been repealed and under its provisions which deal with the interstate feature of the business there is nothing to do but abide by the situation, It will cause disap- pointment to many. It will doubtless prevent much trouble and it is possi- ble to see where a disposition to com- merclalize prize fighting is checked, and the framing up of such events for the picture profit discouraged. TEMPTING DEATH, In spite of all that jas been and is being done for the safety of elevator travel, it has not been possible to overcome carelessness and lack of heed to the dangers which surround the passenger who is disposed to dis- regard caution. A New York young woman thoroughly acquainted with elevators sought to save a few minutes by attempting to alight from the car after the doors had started to close and it had begun to descend. The re- sult was that she was crushed so se- verely that death spon followed. It was through a similar attempt to leave a moving car that another woman was recently crushed to death in her own apartment house, and the list is not short of others who have disregarded good judgment in their eagerness to accomplish the impossible, Such attempts may have been en- couraged by the success of previous efforts and it would not be surprising it such a practice was followed by a large number who are familiar with elevators, but it must be apparent that each and every such display of recklessness is simply a fiirtation with death. So slight is the excuse for the taking cof such chances that it is‘far better to lose a few minutes or sec- onds necessary to make a return trip than it is to throw away one's life or invite serious injurles. There is, however, a personal. re- sponsibility in such affairs which must be recognized. Those who practice such stunts must be prepared to pay the price but there seems to be little justification In such instances for holding the elevator man for homicide. TERRE HAUTE’S VICTORY. The people of Terre Haute and in- sofar as it concerned any other mu- nicipality in that vicinity are to be congratulated, not upon the political corruption which it has been disclosed existed there, but upon the success- ful and courageous manner in which those who were responsible for such a deplorable state of affairs have been brought to the bar of justice. It is not the only city which has been dom- inated by a ring which placed personal ambition before citizenship, but it is to its everlasting credit that having discovered the disgraceful conditions under which it was being run, it pro- ceeded to wipe it out. The twenty-seven, including the mayor, who were convicted, Were not all who were concerned in the brazen underhanded scheme to control the future of that city and gather in the attendant profits. There were over a hundred, including the various lieu- tenants who took part in the pulling of the wires and the working out of the many details. The leaders, how- ever, were those who put up the fight to clear themselves of the crime and they must now pay the penalty which is their desert, Terre Haute was in the grasp of a dangerous gang of political robbers, who are entitled to no mercy. What they had accomplished under their methods was but the beginning of a well laid plan to attempt with county and state government, and the lesson to be gained from the man- ner in which Terre Haute has fought their power should be used against those who seel to debauch good gov- ernment wherever they are discovered. It is only. by the application of the penalty to such criminals that honest government can be secured. EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘Where can you find the freedom and contentment like that of the man be- hind "the plow? With the opening of the baseball season business ought to show a revi- val at the peanut stands. The idea over in England of doing away with drink is likely to take all the fight out of some of their people. The man on the corner says: Every day there are more and more reasons why & hen should not cross the street. Witk exporters maling the largest single purchass of rosin plans are ap- parently underway for some fiddling abroad. It will be impossible to show the It is not to be supposed that if the porters were paid $100 a month by their emploves that it would stop tip- ping. It is a snobblsh custom the outgrowth of a practice by those Who have money to burn seeking extra at- tention, the very support of which holds up to slight and extortion every other person who is satisfled with what ought to be considered regular service, and who in a great many in- stances are forced into the habit thoush as a matter of fact they can- not afford it. There should be fair wages and there should be proper treatment of all patrons but those who.travel in Pullman cars or seek service where Ahe tip system is In vogue are not Justified in expecting it unless the Poor man can equal the gratuities of the rich, or untll the giving of tips is ed, but with that involving the reconstruction of certain human matures it is an accomplishment which imay be hoped for dut hardly expected. PRIZE FIGHT PICTURES. . Large returns have been expected from the moving pictures taken of the Willard-Johnson fight at Havana. It ia one of the big sources of revenue for the promoters of such exhibitions ito such an extent that one of the ‘principais is reported to have refused $100,000 for his third of the rights thereunder. It is coming to be one of the big considerations in connection the pugllistic art especially it concerns the championship. er the returns from this last m- it 1s quite certain that the prof- must be- gained from the display the films in other countries than United States unless something to put out of joint the existing Efll law which prohibits not only ‘the showing af such contests but also importation of such films, It was at the time of the Jeffrles- fight pictures but how much more ele- vating are the movies of the war go- ing to be? Just about what the commander of F-4 expected happened except that instead of going up in smoke it went in the other direction. WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Silk stockings should be soaked for half an hour in warm suds, softened with ammonia, gently squeezed and rinsed between the hands, blued with ultramarine blue, and driend without using an iron. It dirt seems to settle under the nails, rub pulverized pumice _stone under them, with an orange stick and wash with hot water. A simple syrup that is good to serve on hot waffles is made by bolling wa- ter and sugar together and adding cin- namon to taste. Cold halibut makes an excellent fish salad. It should be cut into pieces large enough for individual plates and served with chopped tomatoes and green peppers. A dressing of mayon- naise is added. Remove ink stains with milk, and after soaking up all that seems Dossi- ble either sprinklie thickly with salt or wagh with pure white soap. Dusting should be done not with a feather brush, but with a cheesecloth, that has been dipped in water to which a little kerosene has been add- ed. For a refreshing drink mix grape jujce with a quarter as much lemon julce, add water and sugar to taste and serve with cracked ice. Flax cloth is much used son for curtains and portlers. THE TELEPHONE. Many a woman housed by a cold amuees herself and attends to neces- sary business over the telephone. But when all the rest of the family come down with like colds she wonders how they caught it, because she has ‘“not kissed anvbody.” Nobody thinks of the mouthpieces of the telephone, and yet where is there a more convenient harbor than that for germs breathed into it from throat and nose The hverage household does mot even think of dusting out the trans- mitter and it is cleaned only upon occasional visits of the repair man from the telephonme company. As a matter of fact, it should be washed out frequently with a disinfectant, Even the earpiece is benefited by an oc- casional “wipe” as it rests against the hair and ear of everybody in the house, to say nothing of visiting workmen who want to call up head- quarters. this seas SILK STOCKINGS. If silk stockings before wearing are washed in lukewarm water they be- come more glossy and are also strengthened. - After each wearing the stockings should be washed in lukewarm water and white soap. If the stockings are white they should be put in a dark room to dry. Do not dry white or colored stockings in the sun. The Japanese are said to put all white silks in a dark closet to dry. This keeps them from yellow- ing. The use of hot water and rub- bing should be avoided in the wash- ing of silks. A stocking with a lisle top and foot will wear better than an all silk one. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Ice water if taken at all should be taken in small sips and retained In the mouth until warmed. Extreme heat is a_powerful depres- sant. Under its influence the body becomes more susceptible to the action of germs. A new eye dropper comes incased in a sanitary vial that is intended to hold a portion of the wash itself. It is very compact, nonleakable and has the advantage of being complete, no bottle being necessary. To stop hiccough give the patient-a teaspoonful of granulated sugar and vinegar. If this does not afford in- stant relief, repeat the dose. When you go to bed—if you are looking for beauty sleep—you should fall asleep right away. The beauty sleeper, the one who wakes up look- ing refreshed, will fall asleep the min- ute her head touches the pillow. She will fall into a slumber, heavy and dreamless, and she will waken in ghe morning of her own accord. A delightful way of imparting a del- icate scent to the hair is to let it filter through in the form of steam. It sounds difficult, but it is not at all. Simply flll a small bowl with boiling water and pour some of your partic- ular perfume upon it. The two lquids will not mingle, but if you hold your head over the bowl the steam of the ‘water will carry the scent with it and through the halr in a most satisfac- tory fashion. The very best cure for a case of nerves is to keep busy. If you cannot find any work of yourn own, help some friend who has more to do than she can possibly accomplish. Be really interested in everything you do and do it with all your might. You never heard of a washwoman being nerv- ous. Nervous women are sure to have wrinkles and you will never get rid of them until you get better control of your nerves. When Co, Roosevelt was asked about his return to the republican party he replied that it was a fool question. Actions speak louder than ‘words. With the war loss in men amount- ing to five and a half million is there any wonder that the kaiser urges the granting by Austria of Italy’s de- mands? It is a case of shut your eyes and form your own conclusions as to when or whether Italy and the rest of the neighborhood are going to get into the war, Europe as the objective point of the sulmer visitors is likely to experi- ence decreased business, but there still remain the delightful attractions af New England. The sultan considers the Dardanelles impregnable and such might be shared Dby others except for what has been done in the way of capturing im- pregnable place: It is possible that some Japanese Hobson will be able to discover some significance in the fact that a Culebra slide has blocked the way of the first Jap ship to attempt a trip through the canal. B The legislature does well to consider the advisability of legislation upon the jitney. They are likely to increase and it will be a long time before any legislation can be secured unless it is obtained now. COTTAGE CHEESE. Put a pan of sour milk on the stove ‘Wwhere it will warm very slowly. When it has thickened sufficiently so that it can be cut with a knift and the curd seems thick enough for cheese, re- move from the stove and etrain through a cheese cloth spread .over the colander. Add a spoonful of but- ter, a little salt, mix well and put into a dish. Pour cream over the cheese before serving. BIAS BANDS. To cut bias bands fold the corner of the goods up so that the two straight edges of the triangle are the same length. Make a crease. Meas- ure off the width the bands are to be and draw lines with a yardstick and tallor’s chalk. Mark off as many Dands as needed before cutting. Cut on the marks carefully, as the least change will throw the bands off the true blas. Bias bands of thin mater- ials, like silk, should be made over crinoline before being used. DICTATES OF FASHION. Gray are coming in again. Gored skirts are well thought of. Seal brown is a fashionable color. Very large square collars are worn both on suits and coats. Striped ribbons will play a very im- portant part in spring miilinery. Tarnished gold is always a richer trimming than bright yellow gold. Navy blue and very dark purple represents a peculiarly Parislan com- bination. ‘White satin waists are in high favor in both tailored and elaborate designs, The square ended colonial sype of fur scarf, thrown over one shouider, is one-of the most universally becomins. In evening gowns of the type of 1830 the sleeves are in . emall puffs, finishing in a hard straight line around the arm. The use of ribbon bels is another logical development, as also is the employment of narrow woven bands in novelty patterns and colorings. Plaids and checks might be developed Into interesting novelties both in beits and in girdles. COLLARS AGAIN. Now that high collars are in fash- fon again, the shops are selling col- lar forms. You remember the forms that we used to buy? - They were made of crinoline or buckram or net mounted with stiffness and they sim- plified the making of a stiff, standing collar most decidedly and_they were as uncomfortable as fashion de- manded. The new forms are like them in most respects, but they are not uncomfortable. That is because the nmew collar is not uncomfortable. For it is low in the front, althoush it is very high in back. That is to say, the collar that needs stiffening flares high at the back, but makes & V-closing in front. One of these forms could be easily covered “with silk or with chiffon. CORDS ON SKIRTS. Heavy cords used in shirrings are a favored trimming for dresses for fes- tive occasions. In one model shown the ekirt hung straight from the waist line with the exception of the shirrings on cords at a deep yoke length. In another model the overskirt was full and shirred on to a cord at the waist. A model revived from the gowns worn a quarter of a century ago is made of changeable taffeta silk. The coat is shirred over three heavy coats at the knees, at the bottom of the gown and half way between. Still another style is ehirred far enough above the bot- tom to give the effect of a deep flounce then at yoke depth and once more half way between. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. When cutting out the lining of a blouse yoke be sure to cut it the same way of the material as the outside, otherwise it will be unsatisfactory and will not fit. Using a warm iron when cutting out a garment will do away with pins on tissue paper patterns. Lay the paper on the material and press lightly with the warm iron. The pattern clings to the cloth. Quite the newest way of making a casing to run ribbon through is by making a wide cat stitch or feather stitch on the outside of the article to be used and through this run the rib- bon. It holds as well as the old fash- ionea way. If a glove splits at the thumb or near a seam a sure and permanent way to repair it is to buttonhole the kid on either side of the eplit, then sew the buttonholed edges together. The result will be a new firm seam that will never tear again. When buttonholing be sure to take a good hold of the kid, otherwise the stitches will pull out from the kid. Always thread silk into a, needle by Dutting the end of the silk that ex- ists before it is unwound from the spool in the eye first. If the silk is put in from the end you break or cut, it untwists more easily than if it is threaded from the other end. Clip all bastings to be removed at five or six inch intervals. They can then be pulled out without wrinkling the fabric. CLEANING HATS. To clean a white felt hat. kettle with flour, and put it in the oven until it is quite hot. Then quickly, with white flannel, rub the hot flour into the felt very thoroughly and dust it off with a perfectly clean brush or a white cloth. The hat will be as new. White straw hats can be cleaned, and the sunburn removed, as follows- ‘Warm a lemon, squeee it into a saucer, and add a teaspoonful of powdered sulphur. Brush this well on the hat, Tinse severea] times .in cold water, wipe with a dry cloth, and finally dry in the shade.” That hat will be as when Ycu bought it. Artific’al flowers may Dbe restorel in. many cases—not all—by holling them for a couple of minutes in the steam of Noiling water. Bjuck felt hats can be made quite nice it well rubbed with benzine. Dry in_the open ai Black chip _tats, as a rule, only need oiling. Use a little sweet oil, and rib it off With a piece of black vel- WOE e Black straw hals, if faded, should be treated as foliows: Get a plece of sealing wax (one-half Fill a good Dlack ounce), nowder it, and add to it two ounces of pure spirits of wine. Stand the bottle in a basin of hot water until the wax is quite dissolved, then brush it on the hat with a tooth- brush. Dc this near a hot radiator. The hat will be quite stiff and glossy.

A convenient way to launder the little plaited skirts so much worn by the wee folks is to baste down all the plaits before laundering the skirt. The time saved in ironing more than repays the extra work. GRIND DRY BREAD.

Mr. Editor: There appeared in your paper, April 5th, an article in Con- densed Telegrams in regard to the burial of Dwight E. Hewltt, late of Weston, formerly of North Stoning- ton, Conn., which the undersigned wishes to contradict as 1t is a false- hood from beginning to end. It doesn’t look reasonable that the family would have a double cement vault built and have it elght inches tco short, when after the box was In, it was then longer than required. As to his being an eccentric farmer he didn't own a foot of land and hadn’t been a farmer for more than twelve vears. Hence this contradiction, and 1t will give the public the true state of affairs.

Belief is becoming common in Ser- bia that the fast-spreading and fatal typhus there is communicated not only by vermin but by simple contagion through the air breathed, according to a letter from Mme, Voya Marionko- vitch, wife of the Serbian Minister of Agriculture. She reports that the Ser- bian army continues generally un- tounched by the fever, but its ravages among the Austrian prisoners and civillans of all classes all over Mace- donia. and Serbia continue without abatement. The letter-is to her sister, Mlle. Helene Losanitch who is now in New York in the interests of Serbian relief. “They say it is a dirt disease,” she writes, “and yet so many of the cases are those of persons who frequently bathe and use antiseptics, that one is forced to #elieve the contagion is in the very air we breathe. After every precaution has been taken in hospi- tals, and stricken persons isolated, the wounded as well as doctors and nurses continue to fall ill.” Mme. Marionkovitch reports the death of Mme. Lukovitch, president of the Cerbian Circle of Sisters, who con- tracted typhus while on a visit of in- spection to the hospitals at Valyevo. Although during her illness she knew she was condemned to death, she did not once complain, but died as heroic a woman as she had lived, says the writer. Ve greatly fear,” she continued, “that during the hot weather the dis- ease will spread as it did during the Bulgarian war. All our hope lies in the Rockefeller commission, which, as you know, came out to Investigate conditions. They have promised to recommend that the Rockefeller Foun- dation and the American Red Cross send us a sanitary commission com- posed of bacteriologists, and of doctors and nurses skilled in treating tropical dis es. Please while you are in America send us reports which have been published in any of the medical papers of work done in connection with typhus or other tropical diseases. It would be of great use to our doctors if these could be translated into Ser- bian. “Do_please tell me at once If they have done anything in America by way of inoculating against typhus. At present there is nothing to help it but careful nursing. It is said_that over 60 per cent, die of heart failure, on about the tenth day of the illness. “When each day brings news of the deaths, not only of those of our poorer CIRS<(-‘S but of € many of those of our own class, I sometimes wonder who will be left to inherit the Greater Ser- bia which we are promised by the Great Powers as compensation for all we have suffered. “We hear that our men as well as the Russians who were taken prisoners are all dying in the detention camps of Austria, and that the villages of southern Austria are even more se- verely stricken with typhus than those here. “But for the awful depression and heartbreaking sorrow of this epidemic, the country would be feeling almost normal. “For once the Danube has done us a noble service—its inundation, per- haps more than anything else, has pre- vented the Austrians from even at- tempting an invasion of ofir land since they were driven out about the middle of December. Now that our army is reformed, reclothed, revictuled, let them come if they want another beat- ing such as we gave them the last time. It is a comfort to know that the army has been put under shelter in peasant houses or sheds constructed especially for them. Railway Service.

No American or Continental railways can show anything like the variety of cheap rallway tickets of all kinds which are ordinarily offered to the English traveler. At the same time, the railway com- mittee has announced the withdrawal of a large number of regular trains on all lines. Most of the roads cut the number of trains nearly in half at the beginning of the war, and this mini- mum is now reduced in all directions as far as possible, so that many places, which formerly boasted five to ten trains in each direction daily, must now content themselves with one or two. OTHER VIEW POINTS If this diplomatic correspondence between this country and the allies and the United States and Germany can only be continued in the same pleasant vein until the end of the war conditions will be readily adjusted.— Meriden Journal, An exchange speaking of the thirty people killed in New York last month by automobiles says the newspaper re- ports “seldom blame the drivers.” In that respect the papers are very like Connecticut coroners.
