No one has a just right to criticise the conduct of municipal affairs who wilfully neglects to assume his own responsibilities in choosing the officials. The good citi- zen s not simply the man who is awake to the larser political move- ments affecting him as an individual, his home, his district or his city. The good eitizen has obligations which he must meet, obligations to his neighbor as well as himself, and du- ties which he should discharge in his «capacity as a voter and when the cit- Szen shirks these duties' he Dbecomes en indifferent and sometimes a harm- ful citizen. The voter should do more than vote. He should vote intelligently and there- by exert his influence as a useful ‘member of society. Otherwise he is noi a good citizen but the abettor of unsatisfactory government, The city election today like all others, is of much importance. It is not a time to show indifference but @ time to make it plain that the con- scientious and efficient conduct of the various departments is demanded. It is & time when the best men should be selected for directing the important affairs which are involved in city gov- ernment and get the best results from what is undertaken in the way of pub- lic improvements, It was with such in mind that the candidates of the republican ticket were selected. They stand for the best in city government at all times and they should receive the rousing sup- Port of their fellow citizens. With every voter doing his part and vot- ing right they will be fourd to have been elected when the count is com- pleted this afternoon. THE GULFLIGHT NOTE. The reply of the German govern- ment dealing specially with the case of the steamer Gulflight, while admit- ting the responsibility and expressing the willingness to make proper recom- pense, does not contain the much de- sired and important assurance that such affairs will be avoided in the future. The torpedoing of the Gulf- light by which three lives were lost, is attributed to an accident. It was sus- pected that it was a British vessel and upon that suspicion the attack was made. The important fact that it car- Tied an American flag was not estab- lished and no reasonable endeavor was made to determine the nationality of #the vessel. Guesswork was the guide =ad American lives and property were thus made to suffer. The attitude which Germany has taken 4n regard to the case, and that which it indicates it will take con- cerning the Cushing is that which this country expected insofar as regrets and restitution are concerned, but what It is equelly anxious about is the end- Ing of such unjustified and inhuman metion. The explanation and indem- nity might serve if only property was concerned, but where lives are taken this ecountry cannot permit accounts to be balanced with money. It wants R stop put to such practice. It wants Germany to be sure that it is giving the proper protection to American lives and property under its accepted responstbilities. Excuses of such a tharacter s that which shows negli- gence and a disregard for the rights of meutrals cannot atone for flagrant ‘violations of international law, even ‘Germany is wont to hold that every- that is done for the kaiser is e e e e right. Apologies do mot restors life. ‘Germany’s attack calls for steps which will prevent those “accidents” in the future. Had reasonable caution and Tespect prevailed, there would have been no Gulflight case, MAKE IT CERTAIN. There is a feeling among some that the decision which has been rendered by the United Statss.district court of New Jersey in the case of the gov ernment agalnst the United States, Steel corporation should be allowed to rest where it is. This attitude would have no appeal taken to the United States supreme court because it is felt that justice has been done to bus- iness and that under such @ ruling as has been made by the court the best results are to be obtained by the bus- iness interests of the country which have long been affected by the un- certainties created through attempts at_regulation. Such being the case, and the decision well founded, it is the best thing that can be done if the matter is carried to a finality. As it rests at present it is open to the claims that questions are involved on which the highest court in the land has not passed and there is no better time for this o be gotten out of the way than the pres- ent. If that is the interpretation of the Sherman law in this connection which is to stand, or if it is a decision| which cannot be sustaiged by the su- oreme court it is well to find it out and settle the points for all time, and thus make the position of business all the more certain. Where such an important matter is involved it is well to pursue it to a conclusion and that in no way need be a reflection upon the district court. If that tribunal in the lengthy trial and consideration of the case has reached the right decision and the cor- poration is a legal one, and not a monopoly because it is a big one, let it be dafinitely determined. The re- moval of any and all doubt ought to be accomplished without great delay. For the city election today the polls will ope: all four districts at 9 a. m. and will close at 4 p. m. AFFIDAVITS OF LITTLE WEIGHT. From the indicated response which this country will make to the German reply slight, if any, consideration is ‘being paid to the afidavits which have been furnished the government in sup-| port of the German contention that the Lusitania carried guns concealed on_its decks ready for action. These affidavits are wholly out- weighed by the evidence which is in the possession of this country upon this very point. The Cunard line of- ficials declare that there was no equipment of that character aboard the liner either ready for action and concealed or carried as cargo. It is, of course, possible, that such a claim might be set up by representatives of this British ship, but relianee is not, placed upon their statements in pre- senting the demands of this country. There was a responsibility which de- volved upon American officials in con- nection with the Lusitania, its cargo. and its equipment which were care- fully looked after. Under the direc- tion of the collector of the vort of] New York there was a careful inspec- tion made of the Lusitania just be- fore itgsailed. Had there been any] guns such as one of the afidavits alleges just outside the “Gloria” they would have been discovered by such inspectors, while had it been possible to see them from the dock as another declared the need of searching for anything of the kind would have been obviated. Two of the affidavits, how- ever, nullify each other, for while one declares the guns were concealed be- hind partitions which could be re- moved, the other says they were in plain sight from the outside, Affidavits from unknowns carry lit- tle weight in comparison with the statements of the custom authorities of the government who thoroughly understand the responsiblities which surround the faithful discharge of their duties and their statements. EDITORIAL NOTES. Election day. The day to vote early and right, No voter should be satisfied until he has discharged his duty at the polls. I It is strange what an effect a note signed Jagow has upon Secretary Bryan. Among others who are watehing the lifting of the F-4 is, of course, the ubiquitous junkman. For good government and a business administration pull the top, the re- publican lever, today. Putting up 2 bitter fight for the sugar refinery in Franee adds spice to the war operations. It may be a bit early, but it wilt not be long before' periscopes are dis- covered at the shore resorts. Dr. Dernburg has again changed his mind and is going home. He finds it impossible to remain here and keep silent, The man on the corper says: Pedes- trians simply have to cross the street no matter how much they annoy the autoists, Villa and Carranza see no harm in the new attitude of this country to Mexico, but will they conform to the demands? Can you picture the smile on Huer- ta’s face when he heard of Carranza saluting the American flag on Memo- rial day? A ——— e Russian officials say they knew they could not successfully defend Prze- mysl. There i nothing like taking the situation philosophically. ‘Whea Lioyd George tells the people of England that they have the men but lack the ammunitien and equip- ment, it beging to look as if some of the real’ war work must be done at home. ———es The discovery has been made that there is just as upsatisfaetory water as that which comes from Bog Meadow in warm weather, but the users would have been better satisfied with the statement than with the preof, Editor Pape of the Waterbury Republican has had the case brought against him for libel thrown out of court, Tt appears he was earnestly endeavoring to correet politieal €om- ditfons in which the public was deeply concerned and the court holds that he had a right to do it. It tekes cour- age sometimes to stand for right and free speech, but Editor Pape had i. SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Speer white materials may be made into charming inexpensive gowns by stenciling _ before malking up. A morning glory desien is excellent. 0d breakfast toast is made by aipping the shoces of bread in a pint of .,fifl to which @ beaten egg and a pinch of salt are added, and frying. Woolen germents should never be rubbed with soap, but gently moved about in warm soapsuds. Rinse in water of the same temperature and dry quickly. i Dried fruits are often made palatable )y the addition of a fresh flavor. Or ange juice improves strawberries, lemon improves prunes, ginger root with pears. Charming little emeries are made with the help of an acorn cup. Cut & tiny bag to it the cup, covering it with shiny brown silk and filling with em- ery powder then insert in the cup and fasten with glue. To clean ivory, soak the articles in <cold water for 24 hours, then lay them on & clean, soft towel and let them dry in the air. Any lingering water drops should be blown out; if left they will spoll the colo: When serving any kind of hard fruit, pour over a little boiling water instead of cold; the fruit will cook in half the time, and so save gas. If the sugar is added when the fruit is cold, much Jess sugar will be required. The lids of saucepans often need to be raised while cooking—and a clothes peg with a tack in its top will answer the purpose. Fix the peg on the edge of the saucepan as if it were a line and Test the lid on the tack. PUTTING AWAY DRAPERIES. Never put the winter curtains away dirty. Have them laundered, but not starched, neatly folded and wrapped away in blue paper to keep them white, so that they will be all ready to put up in the autumn. Not only does it rot and stain the curtains to be put away dirt: but is often in- convenient to have them done up in the fall when professional cleaners are busy and there is no opportunity of doing that sort of work at home When school clothes, housecleaning and_ general settling up makes all the confusion that can be put up with. There should be very little starch put in sash curtains at any time. They hang more gracefully and do not get so out of shape if they are un- starched. Muslin fluted ruffles need a little starch, but the ordinary lace or met curtain dried on a frame is better without any. FOR NEW POTATOES. New potatoes are very much im- ved and have a delicious taste if Dotled with a lump or two of sugar elong with the mint. Two lumps of sugar to a pound of potatoes give ex- cellent results, rendering them firmer and more appetizing. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. For indigestion drink a eup of hot water one-half hour before meals. A little Worcestershire sauce rubbed on the gums of an aching tooth will Stop the pain almost immediately. For a sprain beat salt into the white of one egg unti] it is of the consist- ency of an ordinary mustard plaster, spread on o cloth and apply it to the part affected. ‘When you get something in your eve take a hair from your head, make a loop of it, raise the evelid, and stick in the loop. Wink the eye several times and then pull out the hair. The troublesome object will cling to it and come out, too. A simple remedy to dislodge a fish pone or anything in the throat is to fasten a button securely to a string; swallow the button, then pull the string. No difficulty is found in tids simple method and it will always re- move the obstruction with absolute certainty. A pillow under the knees frequetly rests e patient forced to remain in bed. In applying a hot poultice lay it on gradually. When it is removed, and a fresh one is not to be applied immed- iately, be sure to cover the part that has been poulticed with flannel or other warm material. If a child swallows a button or coin as children will, and there seems to ‘e no immediate ill effects, feed it with such things as bread and milk, mush and potatoes for a day or two, and after that give a mild laxative. TO REMOVE STAINS. Ink stains (freshly made)—Soak the stains at once in buttermilk. Paint can be removed from white material with paraffin oil; if a colored article, rub the part with turpentine. Coffee or tea stains—Pour boiling water immediately on the affected part and eprinkle with powdered borax. Iron mold—Place the stained part a basin of water and apply a coating of salts of lemon. ‘Wine or fruit stains—Sprinkle with common salt and pour boiling water through it. If this does mot remove the stains apply borax. Grease—If on a colored material, well rub the part with benzine, but take care when using it to have no fire around, as it is Bighly infamma- e. NOVEL SACHETS, A novel sachet for a potpourri jar is made of flowered net, with en inter- lining of stiff muelin and mounted on covered cardbeard. The top of the net is hemmed, finished Wwith lace, and whep filled with its Dotpourri of rose Jeaves is tied with loops of pale pink ribbon. Charming little round _sachets are made from chiffon or net filled with dried flowers and then quilted through the center and finished with a velvet flower. SUMMER CURTAINS. Chintz, cretonne, muslin, scrim and pet curtains may all be done up at home by a tolerably efficient laundress, but lace curtains are a more difficult matter—a point to remember when buyins. DICTATES OF FASHION Sport shirts are made of pique. The princess mode is in fashion, Printed chiffons line the dressy lit- tle coats worn With silk dresses. Blue o all shades continues a fav- orite, The shape ie the important thing in millinery. Callot sends Over & spring evening WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN robe with a lace train mounted on lavender blue chiffon. Automobile vells do mot vary much from year to year. Hemstitching is used more and m¥re upon underclothes. In the mew blouses silver and gold laces are veiled With chiffon that tones the costume. Of light blue taffeta of the softest quality was formed the mest attrac- tive little jacket for wear over the Mn- gerie gown. It was embroidered with blue silk, with touches of pink and much gold thread. It was _dainty, beautiful in color and decidedly chic. They are to be fashioned of various light shades. Belts are a form of militarism in clothes that has made an appearance. ‘There are few jackets from which this dividing line is omitted. It is more frequently placed at the normal waist- line than we have had it for 3 but evidently the old fashioned place for the waist is to be popular again and belts pay their obefsance to it. There are many lovely frocks of linen shown among the models in- tended for summer wear. One was of yellow linen made with a short bolero, edged with a bias band of the ma- terial. The full skirt was also trim- med at the bottom with material bands. Another model is a coat and skirt of heavy linen, embroidered in eeif color. The coliar and cuffs are of Dlack taffeta. NET TRIMMING STILL GOOD. Nets are to be as good for trimming summer frocks of cotton as they have been for_embellishing spring costumes of silk. Some of the style creators are presaging popularity for fichus, but their predictions are, as yet, unreal- ized. 'Tis_doubtful if any utllization of net trimming will be smarter than the boxplaited ruching. Doubtful because no other utilization of net lends itself so well to accentuation of the sea~- son’s silhouette. These ruch trimmings are used at the skirt'’s hem, used in widths vary- ing from two to eight inches. Used, t00, on tunics, on sleeves, on Dep- lums, at the neck outline. When the costume introduces a color as trimming for white these ruches have a buttonholed edge of the same color. Buttonholing, by the way, is one of the season’s smartest nee- dlework touches. CROCHETED HAT TOPS. Among the smartest of the new shade hats are taffeta or moire sailors covered with what, upon examnation, proves to be nothing more than a hand crocheted mat made exactly the size to cover crown and brim and held i place by a ribbon around the erown. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Plain sewing advances from right to left and embroidery from left to right. The position of the needle woman is very important. Place the small of the back to the back of the chair, the feet on the floor or footrest and the arms free at the sides. Hold the work up, getting the light over the left shouldér, if concentrated. The neatest. quickest way to finish seams that should be felled or bag seamed is to remove the presser foot of the machine and put on the Darrow- est hemmer foot: place your material in the hemmer and seam up. You have a perfectly finished seam With one Trow of stitching. . It is often puzling to find out the lengthwise and crosswise of the ma- terial. The warp threads run length- wise and are the strongest. The woof threads run crosswise and form the selvage. They were originally the fill- ing threads. You can distinguish be- tween them by pulling the materlal. A lengthwise thread tears with difficulty end stands out more clearly and ap- pears straishter than the crosswise or woof threads. GLOVE CLEANER. Women who wear light gloves, white kids, white or yellow chamois, should adopt a policy of freguently cleaning toward them, instead of al- lowing them to become very much soiled and then sending them to the cleaner’s. Many times after return- ing home from a shopping tour or a call the gloyes are but slightly soiled and yet too soiled to wear again. Perhaps they are but slightly spotted with dust, so slightly as not to war- rant the ’expense and delay incident to sending them to a cleaners. ¥ such is the case, crumble up a few white breaderumbs and rub the gloves well. You will be surprised to see how well it cleanses them. NEW SILK STOCKING WRINKLE. Dropping of stitches is the principal cause of ruin to silk stockings. To prevent this, put them in a sewing machine and stitch twice around, about four inches from the top. Don't forget to put under the goods a strip of paper to prevent shirring. MENDED WITH LACE. Hemstitched tablecloths, towels, nap- kins and dresser scarfs are very at- tractive to look at, but the bems get torn off long before the articles are worn out. I have discovered o satis- factory way to overcome this difficulty writes a contributor. When I see the first break come in the threads, I purchase some narrow torchen Tace and stitch it on both edges of the ar- ticie with the sewing machine. ‘The broken threads are then cut away underneath, and the cover is as good as new. CONCERNING WOMEN. Oregon has six women undertekers. Mrs. Helen Gould Sheppard has an income of over a million a year. Twice as many women as men are employed in the cigar factories of New York. s In Massachusetts, Indiana apd Ne- braska, women are not allowed to work at night. Miss Mary L. Reed, daughter of Judge Reed of Atlants, Ga., %has in- vented & flag holder. Eureka Spring, Ark, has a woman Dbutcher who prepares calves and pigs for market. Mrs. William H. Rowe, a wealthy woman of Chicago, has opened a gar- age in New York city. After the mext election in Chicago women will be barred from acting as election clerks and judges. Mrs. A. B. Wilder, ploneer editor of Republie eounty, Kanses, in the early seventies, is just cutting her teeth at the age of 60, Marguerite Tracy and authors of the mm’fi;& ,:n' NORWICH.

To stiffen children’s hair ribbons and make them Jook like new, dip in slight- sweet sugar and water, and iron. gives just enough body to the ribbons to make them logk well. WASHING SWITCHES. Switches should be washed every four or six weeks. Make a strong soapsuds, immerse the switch, wash- ing it well and holding the woven part firmly so that it will not mat. Rinse in clear water, use more melted soap and rinse again. Dry on the radiator or by hanging to the curtain of an open win- dow. Brush amd comb and touch lighily with brilantine. RECIPES. Parsnip Chowder—Fry out fat salt pork; there should be one-third cup. Add four slices onions, finely chopped, and cook five minutes, stirring con- stantly. Strein fat into a saucepan and add one cup one inch raw potato cubes; over potatoes put one and one- fourth cups one-half inch raw pars- nip cubes and over parsnips one cup one inch raw potato cube: Sprinkle with sa# and pepper, add two cups boiling water an dlet simmer until veg- etables are soft; then add one quart milk, four tablespoons Dbutter, one- half cup fine cracker crumbs and two teaspoons finely chopped parsley. Sweet Potato Waffles—Mix to a smooth batter half a breakfast cupful of sweet potatoes well boiled and mashed, together with four teaspoon- fuls of flour and a tabelspoonful each of butter s;n(d sugar, saltspoonful of salt and a pint of milk. Bake the bat- ter immediately in a hot waffle iron, or, if desired.ait may be baked on a hot griddle in the form of cakes. For the city election today the polls will open in all four districts at 9 a. m. and will close at 4 p. m. OTHER VIEW POINTS The sooner there is put into effect some kind of jitney regulation the better it winl be for all concerned. Someone has christened the Jitneys “Highway Hogs,” which is about cor- rect—Waterbury Democrat. Squash the cut worm, swat the fly, smack the mosquito, poison the po- tato jbug, burn the tomato grub, watch your step, step lively, buy in New Haven, see America first, and if you don't get sent to jail you will bave met the preliminary qualifications of good citizenship. —New Haven Un- ion. In view of all this, which has been strikingly corroborated by the defeat of Zeppelins in France and England within the past week or two, the mil- itary lesson to the United States seems plajn. Our army and pavy boards are right in urging the development of competent @eroplane corps rather than spending millions in futile competition with the Zeppelin builders.- The dreadnought of the air is not to be dreaded.—Torrington Register. Connecticut druggists feel more se- cure now in their business ventures as attention is being called to the new law passed at the recent session of the Legislature limiting drug stores with liguor licenses to one to 3,000 popula- tion. This will prevent the opening of any more stores for business in that line for several years to come in meny places and licenses will be more high- Iy valued. If enforced, the law will make all fear the penalty for violating it—Rockville Journal. There is much to commend in the method employed by the oil company and the city in oiling Ansonia's streets this season. The motor-driven spray- er does the work with neatness end dispatch, and the immediate applica- tion of sand to the oiled surface not only eliminates tracking and benefits the wearing qualities of the roadbed, but also does away with considerable of the odor. The failure to oil all streets that needed it, however, and the only partial oiling of at least one thoroughfare leaves something still to be desired.—Ansonia Sentinal. The attention that is being given to the “safety first” movement is proba- bly responsible for the better showing made by the railroads of the country in the matter of casualties during the guarter ended December 31 last. As compared with the corresponding quarter of the preceding vear, there were 1,156 fewer train accidents re- ported than for the corresponding quarter of 1913 and decreases of 630 in the number of persons injured. Much still remains to be done, how- ever, before railroad operation becomes as safe as it can be and es it should be—Bridgeport Standard. Men who have a good technical training will be in demend for im- portant positions for several yvears to come. Many a young man who takes a scientific, electrical or mechanical course in college will be enabled to secure a position which will lay the foundations of a fortune. The young men of Connecticut who are now choosing their professions and map- ping out their courses of study will do Well %o bear these facts in- mind, While the war has caused misery and poverty and has cost thousands of lives and millions of dollars, it has al- so made thonsands of opportunities for fhe youns men of today—Norwal Hout. Be it remembered the automobile in this war is more important than the machine gun. The fact that there have been no decisive engagements is prob- ably due more to the use of the auto and auvtomobile tractor than to any- thing else.

SAN MARINO, THE WORLD'S TINMEST REPUBLIC Has An Area of 32 Square Miles and 10,000 Population—Has No Public Debt. (Special to The Bulletin.) Washington, D. C., June 6—“San Marino, the world’s tiniest republid, & vest pocket edition, has been brought into the war area by Italy’s declaration against Austria-Hungar,” eays the latest bulletin prepared by the Na- tional Geographic Society. n Marino, despite its midget pro- portions, is the most venerable, the most persistent and enduring of Pe- publics. For it adds to its quality of being one of the smallest States in the world, that of being the oldest State in Europe. It has weathered vio- lent storms, storms threatening to ex- tinguish even its memory among men, by the score; and, today, the ancient, midzet republic is again on the fight- ing line of a world convulsion. “San Marino is sitpated between the Italian provinces of Forli and Pesaro- Urbino, in the north of Italy, near the Adriatic coast, within reach of big guns from the sea. It lies about 12 miles gouthwest of Rimini, an -Italian coast city, and well within the zone exposed to hostile airship and aero- — BEN LORING'S BIG — MUSICAL CABARET BIG_SINGING SHOW WITH AND OTHERS, All FormerlyWith the MANY CLUDING MISS MORAN, MISS BAGLEY AND ED.

There are five churches and one or two other interesting architectural features in the city. “The Parliament of San Marino is a representative body, with 60 members chosen for life service from among the burghers, landowners and nobility. The executive power reposes in a com- mittee of twelve, chosen from among the representatives and of two ‘reign- ing captains’, selected by the chamber from its membership every six months. The annual income and expenditure is plane attack. The republic has one town, which lies toward the coast, about 115 miles due south of Venice. “The little State has an area of 32 square miles, and a population of some 10,000. Its territory is very hilly, mountainous in the neighborhood of its city, where the Mone Titano, an offshoot of the Apennines, reaches the highest elevation in the republic, that of 2,650 fect. The city stands at the south of this precipitous rock, and is sheltered under the defenses of the mountain, whose three summits are crowned by fortifications. These strong positions, like the Black Mountain of the Montenegrins, have played a signi- ficant part in the preservation of the republic through the centuries of war, amarchy, neighborly aggression, and hate of democracy that the small State has seen since the year 951, when it adopted i%s republican form of govern- ment. This government, with modifi- cations, is still in force today. The arms of San Marino are three peaks, each crowned with a tower. The shield is a_silver shield, and, besides the de- fendea mountain peaks, displays the patron saint. “The climate is healthful raising and wine production are the chief occupatiohs in the republic, while lace and embroidery working are a growing home industry. Many of the cit ns of San Marino earn their live- lihoods outside of the marrow limits of the Fatherland as mechanics, the ma- son’s trade heing the most popular. Some excellent stone carvers come from among this people, and marble figures form one of the exports. “The town of San Marino, which grows around its mountain, is pro- tected by a wall, and shelters about 2,000 people. It contains the republic’s parliament building, a fine type of public structure, much more preten- WOMAN REFUSES OPERATION Tells How She Was Saved by Taking Lydia E. Pink- ham’s Vegetable Compound.
