Rear Admiral Mayo was in command of the squadron at Tampico ‘when the attack was made upon the American flag and he was prompt in insisting that the offense which had been committed by the soldiers of Huerta should result in prompt apol- ogy and salute of the flag. That this was not carried out was not his fault. He took the proper stand even though there may have been some who felt that he had exceeded his authority when the government was doing its utmost to avoid hostilities. Whatever there may have been to such a feeling it has now been fully dispersed by the action in advancing Norwich, Monday, June 14, 1915 e The Circulation of The Builetin 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.

No citizen of Norwich can afford to look the importance which is at ed to the adjourned annual meet ng of the city Tuesday night. It is not an occasion where action on the appropriation of funds for the running of the various departments of the city during the coming year should be left to a few. There are the needs of the city, which must not be slizhted and why certain matters without detrimental allowed to. It is a there are reasons which Tesu can wait s should be whe sle action en and therefore a when there should be an expres- of opinion by as large a number payers as possible. It is the ity for the formulation of the licy under which the city t must be given to what is b nec ary in the way of pro- 1 permanent public improv has run for the next twelve It is not to be forgotten that one mill additional is sought in advance £ last r for what is considered &ie nece cost of conducting tr ous departments and the meetir of a loan which was secured during > vear. There is also the future which must nsidered. Norwich is growing. going ahead, and reasonable | rienced handicaps long enough. It it ble on previous at as uc- sions to meet important needs portioning such expens: d through two or thre 1g vears, Whatever is done should, however, follow the direct expression of a :ide either way. AMERI(;ANI Especially ZATION DAY. timely is the effort that s being made throughout the coun- ry to give a public welcome to the new American citizens. There is no er ti than the Fourth of July ow well received is the appeal in cause is indicated by the fact ready over fifty mayors of the cities in the country have ap- committees to arran for in the national move- pointed participation “‘Americanization @ ittingly named, ay” as it has been s a patriotic call to tizens, American born and for- born alike, adults and children, to American ideals, purposes o ra ind common interests of many Dpeo- ole united into one nation. Naturally leatures adopted by such committees sive special recognition to new citizens nd to providing exercises and mak- g reservation in their behalf wher- er the movement is undertaken. Among things upon which emphasis an be and will be placed are that svery foreign speaking person in America should learn English by at- nding the public schools, because the sh language is the master key o American opportunities and life, and he first step to real citizenship; that wery illiterate immigrant should learn 0 read and write, so that he can read imerican newspapers and attend per- onally to his business matters, and hat adults and children, fordign and ative born be given civic training in th evening and public schools, so hat everyone in our schools will un- lerstand the functions of our govern- nent, the principles of democracy ind for what America stands. It affords an opportunity to the jchools and to each and every citizen o strengthen the American spirit of iationality. What better time is there or doing this than on the Fourth of 1y? It should gain permanency from very inception, _ MAYO CLEARED. The need of the office of vice ad- niral in the navy of this country has jeen felt for a long time and when ho last congress responded to the lemand and created the office it acted visely and well. It contributes noth- ng to its efficiency and such a rank say not in any way indicate that thdse 7ho are appointed possess any appre- fable excess of ability over those hold- ng the rank of admiral, but it pro- ides for contingencles which had not fen_adequately met_before, eses0ssoesasssssecesesses: there should be sound and { | such sentative gathering of the citi- | Questions of such importance | d not be left to a handful to de- hat-Rear Admiral!Mayo is:the:first | gizls are not taised:to be soldiers. the man who was alive to the coun- try’s honor and position. His appoint- ment clears away any thought of a lack of confidence in him and on the contrary indicates the value which is placed upon his ability as a high offi- cial in the navy. If such action was necessary, his selection for the higher grade fully vindicates him. TIME FOR SILENCE. Whatever may have been thought of the statements made by William J Bryan in connection with his resig- nation from the cabinet and the notes which have been sent by this coun- try to Germany, his last, which is di- rected to the Germans in this coun- try, only adds to the puzzle. It is the most sensible statement that he has made but if he is laboring under the impression that he has made his en- tire attitude clear to the country he is greatly mistaken. In no instance has he shown a good and sufficient cause for sending in his resignation. His claims in that re- gard have not been borne out by the terms of the note which he was un- willing to sign. He was unquestion- ably a handicap to the president’s offi- cial family in the effort to properly handle the situation and his retirement incre: the harmony, but when he it to the tone of the excuse is not supported by the rejoinder, The advice which 1s given to the man residents of this country by ner secretary is, however, filled h common sense, however much it ay contradict the inferences that were o be drawn from his former declara- tions. Whether he was brought to a realization of own jmgoistic actions is not indicated, but he apparently realized the necessity of setting him- elf right with those who were in- lined to place a wrong interpretation n the attitude of the government the result of his resignation. Thus having apparently flopped from one side to the other and raised a question which it would have been better to have left alone, it would appear that Mr. Bryan had well prepared himself for a long period of silence. KILLING MERCHANT MARINE. The length of time that the Amer- ican flag will continue to fly in the Pacific depends to a large extent upon the support which is given to such legislation as the recently enacted sea- men’s act. Already, though it is five months before the law goes into effect, it is plain that it is going to hamper instead of help ping, and while o, the regulations which affect foreign hi s, and at the same time involve ng treaty conditions, do not go until next vear, there are tions that all will be read- reed to. a great many years the Pacific Steamship company has been ting many steamships, but the sibility of meeting the new re- rements of the seamen’s act and at same time cessful compete oper qu the an extent that mo attempt will be made to comply. The company will of existence and with it fifteen Is which are now flying the flag country will probably go to ion in other countries or be the domestic service. r a country w ch is anxious to merchant marine and anxious to extend rather an curtail its foreign trade this is n unfortunate situation. No com- pany of that character is apt to sac- its business if there is a pos- ity of meeting the requirements of the new law and it is not likely that the effects will be confined to that company. They are going to be a serious drawback to existing trans- o nsportation lines and a dis- couragement to new ones, nic EDITORIAL EOTES. Flag da; Show your flag and show it right no one understands the cost of war more than Mr. Bryan. This is the month in the year when the colleges promote the welfare of the country by degrees. For Bryan to now admit that the note is tame rather indicates that his second thought ought to have come first, Germany must realize before this that while there may be a split in the democratic party there is none in the countr. Bryan might hope to get the Ger- man vote on the peace plank, but how can he cover up his attitude on pro- hibition? With a few more notes this country will be able to issue some colored book setting forth its position on the war and neutrality. - The man on the corner says: There are many occasions when scores of people wished they could fight like the hero in a novel There will be a great many who will envy that western suburbanite who has to cultivate his radishes in top boots and mackintosh, Regardless of their plans to spend the summer in the mountains the Rus- sians didn’t require much time to change their minds.

When washing delicate laces do not use starch; if a little stiffening is needed, dissolve two lumps of sugar ig a basin of water. This will give aid the stiffening that is needed. Sweet spirits of nitre will remove ink spots from wood. Rub the spots with -the nitre; when the wood turns white, wipe it off with a soft cotton rag. It may be necessary to make e second application. When cream is too thin to whip easi- ly place the dish containing the cream in a pan of cold water until it is thor- oughly chilled, then put it into a pan of hot water, and it will whip without difficulty. Keep a careful eye on the refrigera- tor in warm weather, and any meat, gravy, broth or vegetables that threat- en to turn sour, reheat, and thereby kill the little germs of decomposition. Sheets of tinfoil placed under doil- ies upon which glass pitchers or vases containing water are set will prevent the water from soaking through and marking the polished tables. A few drops of camphor on the toothbrush will give the mouth a fresh, clean feeling and it will harden the gums and prevent anything like cold sores or affections of the tongue. ‘When a small clock is beyond repair it will be found very useful for the sick room. Set the hands each time medicine is given to the when when the next dose to be given. HOW TO TREAT THE STING To alleviate the stings given by summer insects first remove the sting with a needle if it is left in the wound; then press a key over the stung part tightly, thus forcing out the poison. Wash the wound and apply a liniment made of finely scraped chalk and olive oil, mixed to- gether to the thickness of cream. In washing summer dresses of col- ored linen it is an excellent plan to get a package of dye and put it into boiling water, making just the chade of the dress (test it first). And as quickly as the dress is washed clean and rinse in salted water to set the color; dip it in the dye and let it stand two minutes. Then put it into the starch and hang it on the line in the shade, without wringing, and iron while it is still damp. BRASS CLEANING. For brasses that heve become tar- nished an excellent method of clean- ing is to use equal parts of vinegar and salt. Smear thoroughly with the mixture, then let it dry on, and when thoroughly dry wash it off with hot, soapy water and polish dry with a soft cotton flannel cloth. HEALTH AND BEAUTY Babies can be more easily weaned if given boiled water from a bottle from birth. If the baby seems to be ill nourished massage it ght and morning with warm olive oil. If the baby pushes a button up his nose close the other nostril and the mouth and get the child to blow. This will usually release the obstruction. 1t it does not, get the doctor. In bathing an invalid be sure that the room is sufficiently warm, and that it is free from drafts. Begin with the face and wash and dry the body in se; tions, keping the patient well covered. _ Do not use salts of tartar on dark hair. Its use will brighten light hair and make it fluffy. Where light hair is very oily the juice of a lemon may be added to the shampoo water. Nail biting can be cured by will power alone in older pers as it comes from nervousness. ‘With chil- dren dip the ends of the fingers in quinine or a little extract of quassia. The daily use of the curling iron will often cause the hair to become harsh and broken. T is caused by the heat taking awa. e natural ojl. See that the iron is only moderately hot or abandon its use altogether. INVALID JUNKET. For a sick child a refreshing and nourishing drink is the whey made from straining through a jelly cloth the curds from junket that has been made with essence of pepsin. The pepsin is bought at the drug store and it takes about two teaspoonfuls to “set“ a pint of milk. This is mixed in a cup set in'boiling water to k en and after it cools the junket is broken with a spoon, the juice or whey procured, as said, by the use of a Jjelly cloth. ' The whey should then be placed in a glass jar or other cov- ered receptacle and put on the ice untd ready for use, a few ounces at a time, as the doctor prescribes Served cold it is usually palatable even without sugar, which the av age child suffering with any stomach disturbance is not allowed to have. BRIDAL GOWNS. Despite the many yards heralded as possible for skirt measurement, the average bride will without doubt decide on a modest three or four yards as a skirt measurement, just as she unhesitatingly compromises on five inches from the ground as the Dest length for a skirt. The trained dress that is short in front to show the dainty Yeet and ankles is a novel note in this sea- son’s styles, and because it is the fashion to wear short dresses it does not look painfully odd, but decidedly attractive. DICTATES OF FASHION. Pockets trim a great many skirts and coats. Picture hats are trimmed with white daisies. It is impossible to have children’s dresses too simple. Hats have leghorn transparent brims. crowns with Growing girls are wearing boyish looking Norfolk suits. The pendant is a necessary part of the evening costume. A few of the new hats are trimmed only on the crown. Some of the new suits in military effects are trimmed with nickel but- tons. Jackets flaring from the yoke or shoulder line are:'most in demand. Flesh colored crepe de chine in- creases in favor for both blouses and lingerie. An evening gown of green chiffon ‘has two pointed skirts weighted down with green beads.

Turkey feathers are being mounted with gold and pearl and pose as aris- tocratic fans. Many of the high stocks have & nar- row band of color beneath a wide fluffy frill, The square cut neck, with standing lace ruff at the back, is seen on gowns of ceremony. The wash crepe de chine blouse still holds its place in faver and fashion, because it is becoming, soft and easily laundered. A sailor hat of black leather is a novelty seen in e store window; it has a band of white around the crown and a bunch of tiny flowers in the front. NEW PETTICOATS. The phases of the new petticoat are many. 'We have princess slips of silks, batiste, crepe de chin, held over the shoulders with straps of ribbon and elaborately trimmed about the hem with wide flounces of lace, pleated organdie, chiffon or net, cajught lhere and there with bou- quets of deilcately tinted French flowers. They measure from four to six yards about the hem, and some- times little 1845 pantalettes, made of materials to match the petticoat, are worn beneath. WATER LILY HATS. Lucile, the famous dressmaker, says that water lilies are coming into fashion as a trimming for white hats, which are going to be so much favored this summer. And certainly they have this in their favor—that they give an impression of coolness, more especially if they be worn with a dress which combines white and leaf green. A very filmy black gown can_ also be effectively crowned by a black hat enwreathed with these newly favored water lilles instead of gar- denias. FOR THE COOK. Ten wusual sized eggs weigh one pound.

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society . “The way between Grado and Triest lies through a remarkable country,” says a National Geograp: ciety war primer, which describes _the strange path hefore the invading Ital- ians to the richest Austrian seaport. “Many chapters of little-known, but fascinatinf history are associated with this coastal strip at the head of the Adriatic, and its legendary lore is as rich as that of Granada. Wealthy Ro- ‘mans built their villas along this w: during the days of the empire, and to this region many wars have sent ed- dies, whose memories have dimmed to forgetfulness beside the main struggles fought on other fields FOR SEWING BASKET.

THE GARBAGE BUCKET. If the housewife, after buyving a new garbage bucket, will paint the inside’ black and then shellac it she will find that it will last twice as long. It will hold none of the odors and will rinse out very easily, not requiring the scrubbing which is taken to keep the ordinary bucket clean and sanitary. Then, if she will fold a newsbaper, opening it first to the fullest extent, in wide pleats from margin to margin, and, opening it rgain, puil it into a circle, she will have a perfect lining for the bucket, which will insure its emptying clean each time it is emptied.
