To Have Perfect Skin Throughout the Summer These days the face needs special care and attention. Flying dust and dirt, the beating sun, are severe on any skin. Their despoilihg effects are best overcome by the application of pufe mercolized wax. This keeps skin and pores in a cleanly condition, the com- gexion beautitully white and spotless. iscolored, freckled and roughened cutlcle ars actually absorbed by It. One ounce of mercolized wax, obtain- able at any drug store, is sutficient to completely renovate a soiled complex- fon. It is used like cold cream, al- lowed to remain on over night, and washed off in the morning.

ZABRISKIE LIKES NEW LOCATION. Has Been at Moscow in Consular Ser- vice Since April 26—Spring Breaks Quick Over There. Relatives and friends have recelved letters from Hon. Luther K. Zabriskie, who was-recently appointed consul to Moscow, Rassla, and for which port he left in the early part of the yea: That he arrived safely and likes his new location is indicated by the fol- lowing letter dated May 25: Tomorrow 1 will have rounded out just one month of service in the American_Consulate-General at Mos- cow, and an _exceedingly pleasant month it has been. As already re- ported, the place and the people hers appeal to me most favorably, and I find my Consular duties more varied and even more interesting than they were in Callao, Peru. My first very agreeable impressions of the Consul- General and his good wife have be- come even more agreeable, and I feel myself most fortunate to be assoc ated with them. I have just speat over Sunday” at their beautiful sum- mer home in the country, where I passed a quiet but most enjoyable time—in the midst of green trees, grass and flowers, with butterfiles and song-birds flying' about, and _every condition reminding me of the “Knee- Deep in June” period at home. The rapid transition here from chilly wi; ter to the “Good Old Summer Time is most remarkable. Two weeks and a half ago, as I have previously re- marked there was a heavy snow on the ground, the weather was decidedly wintry cold, and there was not a sign ring. sudden, thourh, 1 blazed out long and hot, and hubbery and flowers bloom- ed forth like magic. Summer is al- ready with us, in all of its gorgeous beauty,—and before we scarcely real- ized that spring had come to stay. I am_enjoying it all to the fullest ox- tent, and especially so, as this is the first experience of such a sort since back in 1910, in dear, old Pres- ton. The conditions the place that I am,temporarily call- surrounding me at ing home, are really fine. The Baron and the Baroness are just as atten- tive and kind to me as if I was their long, lost son, and they appear so anxious to help me along with my Russian. Little by little, the Frencl, that we emploved at first (for they do not speak a word of English) is giv- ing way to the Slavonic tongue, and these folk appear to take the same delight in any improvement in their language as we used to at home when baby first began to talk. The ian word for * " is pronounced dah”, and as this was one of the first words I learned, I felt in reality like the “mewling, pewking infant” that Shakespeare speaks of, when I started to goo-goo forth “dah-dah”. I am still in the creeping stage of the language, but now and then make an effort to walk a few steps from chair to chair. (Xenia, the maid, has just interrupted my writing by bring- ing in for my desk a gorgeous bou- quet of beautiful white lilacs and syrangas. They remind me of ours at home for their fragance and beauty). Moscow is famous for its beautiful and spacious parks, as well as for its magnificent churches, which I have already written about, and it is a asure to observe the well-kept and lovely little children, as well as others enjoying themselves here during these summer days. I have visited the Kremlin, but_have not as yet gone through ' the Palace nor the Treasury, where the Crown jewels are kept, will reserve the description of this place until T can give it to you com- plete. I am told that the Kremlin at- tractions -] even more wonderful than are those I witnessed during that memorable visit I was privileged to make through the Czar's winter psal- ace at Petrograd. I had the pleasure of witnessing the famous Russian bal- let a few nights ago, and it was cer- tainly a grand spectacle. There is no singing or talking among the actors or actresses, but solely acting and dancing, with splendid orchestral music to accompany. I have been out for the evening but few times fhus far, for I am so anx- ious to get ahead in my Russian, and in addition the work is so great in the Consulate that I_scarcely ever leave the office before 7 o'clock in the eve- ning. After dinner I usually labor on my studies, with the Baron's kind sistance at times, until about 9:30, and then after a family cup of tea, the Baroness, Who is an accomplished pianist, favors us with a few musical selections, after which I go in for an- other round until the clock warns me it is time to go to rest SUES FOR WIFE'S LOVE.

In our country it is the people who organize to conduct hospitals, li- braries and build monuments and such r public works, but in Prussia if you ask what have the people done, they look at you in amazement Our German {friends predicted the collapse of the British empire as soon as the war should start, but it didn't happen, and it is worth while noting that in every case where a British pre- tectorate is established the drift is from the native to the English flag. MIr. Bigelow said he liked to get a chance to say this when he had some Fenians in his audience who were hobnobbing with the Germans to see Prussia restore home rule. He would like to see the black eagle of Prussia waving over Donegal and Dublin and then see the Irish rush to get from under it. He spoke of the Germanizing atti- tude wherever Germany had a colony and of the contrast between the Ger- man occupation of Kiaou Chaou, where there was always trouble with the na- tives, and_the English occupation of ‘Wel Hal Wei, where there had been no trouble. From this he went on to speak of his acquaintance with a Japanese here in Norwich at the time he was at- tending the Academy and with another ‘while he was at school at Potsdam, end then of the way he and the crew of a shipwrecked schooner on the shores of Japan were received. It was as If they were dear, long expected—and prosper- ous—relative: If these are the yellow peril, sald Mr. Bigelow, let’s have a million of them.

After the vigorous appl greeted Mr. Bigelow's speech ided, responses severs classes were made. Dr. P, J. Cassidy responded for the class of 1890 of which Principal Tir- rell is a member. About 20 members of the class had held an informal re- union earlier in the evening and in- spected the new Academy building. Harrison Crane Novyes, president of the class of 1910 which held a reunion turday evening responded for class, and Frank J. Murtha, Jr., pre dent of the present graduation clas spoke for those who were to become alumni in another day. Principal Tirrell, m Principal H. A. Tirrell was called upon by the president and responded in an entertaining way in which he spoke of the thrill of enthusiasm he felt each year in looking into the faces of the alumni who are the real test of the school. He announced that there would be only one change in the teaching force. Miss Elsie Peck is to be succeeded by Miss Eleanor F. Canty as teacher of bookkeeping and stenography. Miss Canty graduated in the class of 1914. Election of Officers. For_the nominating committee George A.

PROMPT REPORTS WANTED FROM NEW HAVEN ROAD. Has Been Slow in Reporting Accidents to Employes. A hearing in the case of W. B.

Mr. Miller sustained injuries on the left side of the face, back of the head and on the shoulder. As a | result of the fall it it claimed he lost the hearing in one ear and partially lost the hearing in the other ear. The injury was reported and claim for compensation made under the work- men’s compensation act One of the road claim adjusters made a settlement with Mr. Miller for $400, and as this sum is not in accord with | what he would be entitled to under the Connecticut workmen's compensa- tion act, a claim was made by him for a hearing, and it was set down for Monday. By agreement of the attor- neys, Arthur M. Brown for the claim- ant, and W. C. Mitchell for the rail- road, it was postponed until July 2 Attorney Mitchell of the Toad was sharply criticised previous to the hear- ing for his failure to attend to the reports of injuries of employes, as by section 20 of chapter 138 of the public acts of 1913 there is a call for report of all accidents during the week in which an accident occurs, with any claims made for compensation, and as the records of the office show the road has been very dilatory in making such re- ports they were given to understand that in case of any future violations such cases will be turned over to the state attorney.
