NO TIME TO QUIT. Senator Mclman has been credited with being in favor of the policy to abandon the Philippines. However much that may have been taken with a liberal supply of salt at the time, it has been clearly set at rest by the attack which he made upon the Clarke resolution in the senate Saturday, when he made it clear that he was opposed to the policy of scuttls and that he belleved this country should and pears wij with a clean rinsed SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE should always be cloth and then under the tap before using. d both much im- en ‘allowed to drain.

It makes little difference what de- partment of the city is concerned, it is to be expected that it will be ad- ministered at all times for the best interests of the city and for that rea- son the position which has been taken by Daniel T. Shea and <Charles E. Whitaker of the gas and electrical commission relative to the making of a new contract with the Uncas Power company for the furnishing of elec- tricity to the city must make its ap- peal to every citizen who has the in- terest of the municipality and depart- ment at heart. ‘When it is considered that the city has been for a number of years now receiving the product of this power company under a verbal contract for & fixed price there appears to be no reason for haste when the proposition is made to increase that price by ten per cent. bond for a long period. It may be for the interest of the city to do this, but a long term contract ‘was not considered advisable when the first one was made and if it is so look- ed upon now it ought to be possible to set forth the reasons in a manner which would convince not only those upon the board, but everyone else, that it is a good thing. But with other propositions at hand or forthcoming there appears to be no reason for undue haste until all pos- sible methods of getting such elec- tricity as the city needs are fully un- derstood. ‘When Commissioner Shea pointed out the obvious fact that such pra- gress is being made in the production of electricity today that a long term contract is inadvisable, it must be ad- mitted that he struck the nail on the head. Tt is a case where the interests of the city need to be fully protected. BRANDEIS FOR SUPREME COURT. President Wilson made it clear that he intended to appoint none but a democrat to the United States su- preme court to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Justice Lamar. It was a case, in his opinion, which called for political preference regardless of qualifications, but in the selection of Louis D. Brandeis for that important position_he has picked a man who not only had not been mentioned, but who, if his name had been included in a list of candidates, would have been among the first to have been stricken off by popular judgment as standing no chance whatever, There can be mo question but what Mr. Brandeis is an able lawyer, and those who are announcing their ap- proval of his selection are laying stress upon that point, but it is a far reach from an able lawyer, and especially one of the radical class in which the Boston lawyer must of ne- cessity be placed, to a jurist and espe- cially one with the qualifications for the highest court in the land. In view of the kind of activity in which Mr. Brandels has been engaged, his lack of judicial training, his tempera- ment of a propagandist, the fact that he has participated in some of the im- portant cases which are to come be- fore the United States supreme court for intepretation, the claim that he failed to get a place in the president’s cabinet because it was feared he would not be confirmed, the departurs from the methods by which members of the supreme court have in the past been selected furnishes ground for the be- lief that the appointment is a weak one. It is even open to the claim that, politics rather than fitness guided the president and for that reason there can be no surprise that opposition to the confirmation of the appointment has already manifested itself. CHICAGO’S CRIME SCANDAL. It is an almost unbelievable situation which exists in Chicago when it is charged that criminals have been im- ported to that city for the purpose of committing crime that the authorities may be discredited, and particularly s0 is this true when it is declared that police officials are nvolved in the scheme. Political conditions are bad enough when ‘they stand for graft, the mis- uge of public funds for private pur- poses and the toleration of vice through fafture to enforce the laws, but when those who are appointed for the pur- pose of protecting a commurity against crime and criminals are found to be back of a plan for increased crime solely for the purpose of undermining authority that they may profit thereby, the time has arrived for a wholesale housecleaning and the prosecution of each and every one who is involved. - Such a revelation as Chicago has received, through the confession of one. retain control there until those people are in a condition to take care of themeelves. That has been the pur- pose of the previous administrations and it is the only object which this country should have conocerning that eastern possession. The fact is that the giving of inde- pendence to the Filipinos now would be a colossal mistake. It would be discreditable to this country and it would be unjust to the Philippines. It is as the senator said the amend- ment offered by Senator Clarke is adopted we may conclude that the American lives have been sacrificed and money expended there for naught; the most interesting experiment in his- tory, the most laudable and honorable in history will fail. And what may be much—if we quit now the world will say that we quit because we were afraid to remain.” Having started out to overcome op- pression and assist a people to get on and up in the world an excellent be- ginning has been made. The Filipinos are not, however, ready to stand alone and it would be the height of folly to try to think that they are, and while good progress is being made for the attainment of the very object for which this country set out good judg- ment ought to see that it is carried through to a successful conclusion. We ought not to leave the Philippines un- til we can say truthfully that they are able to take care of themsel A DESERVING CAUSE. It was a gratifying response which was made thrqughout the country to the fund which is being raised for the relief of the Jewish sufferers in the European war. The movement was well organized and from every corner of the United States there was a gen- erous giving. The giving was not confined to the Jews and it was not intended that it should be, for while the opportunity ‘was one which those people took ad- vantage of to give liberally and to put forward their best endeavors, it was recognized as worthy in every respect by the people of every other race and creed. When it comes to relieving suffer- ing, and especlally such as has been and is being experienced by the Jews throughout the war-stricken countries, this country is deaf to no appeal. No greater opportunity for relleving the hardships of suffering humanity has presented itself than exists at the present time across the water and it is but in accord with the benevolent attitude of the people of the United States that they generously respond- ed. Though the condition of the Jéws is frightful, it is however much the same as that of the Poles, who have been driven from their homes and left with- out food and sheliter. Belgium and Servia have likewise experienced the crunching under the heel of war and there has been a steady flow of Amer- ican monmey to lighten their burdens and alleviate their sufferings. Few know the actual conditions which pre- vail in some parts of Europe today, but it is to the credit of the people in this country that the needs of fellow- man receive considerate and financial attention, EDITORIAL NOTES. . The predicted shortage of the quinine supply is enough to give one the shakes. After what January has produced it is possible to believe most anything of February . It begins to look as if Chicago need- ed to take some radical steps in be- half of municipal defense. When it comes to furnishing relief for the world's misery Norwich ap- pears to be doing its share. The man on the corner says: Men who will not look at the freaks in the fashion sheet will devote hours to them on the street. Now that Admiral Beatty says that England needs religion to win it is possible that new overtures will be made to Billy Sunday. Ordinarily it is the cold weather ‘which brings disaster to the peach crop but this year it is already being at- tributed to the January thaw. The placing of General Weyler at the bead of the Spanish army attracts less attention than it would have be- fore the Furopean war started. When the president hopes that every man in public life will get what is coming to him, could he have been thinking about the two Colonels? Possibly the weather man would know whether this mild January has had anything to do with the increase in the price of coal, or vice versa. Those who are out to flll the “pork- ‘barrel” realize that they must do it early if at all and their activity shows that they do not need to be reminded of it. The friends of Germany may want to stop the sale of munitions to bel- ligerents, but the correspondence of Captain von Papen does not indicate his leaning in that direction. l ‘Those who doubted the sincerity of the position which Congressman Mann recently took upon preparedness must be greatly disappointed in the rebuke which he administered to the demo- |gor six. be.careful not to fashion it with thef® The prefect kitchen utensils are those of aluminum—easy to keep clean and very light to handle. To cut thin silk satisfacory, lay it between two pices of tissue paper and cut with very sharp scissors. Two big eyelets worked in the op- posite corners of the kitchen towel are better than loops to hang it up by. A well-padded ironing board is a labor saver. Turkish towelling is one of the best materials to pad it with. Luncheon sandwiches of brown bread spread with cottage cheese sea- soned with ealt and pepper are very good. OLD FASHIONED PARTY. Try giving a party at which games are played, where the refreshments are home-made and simply served and where the invitations state the hours “7 to 11.” Some will ‘say this is too old fashioned, but try it and see how well it works. It will take half an hour to get started and it will be mid- night before the last guests are gone. From 7:30 to 9:30 games may be played, then refreshments come and a little dance before leaving. Make the refreshments old fashioned, serving one simple salad, a choice of sand- wiches, ice cream and sliced pound, sponge, raisin, marble and cream cake put in silver cake baskets. SHADED CANDLES. No one can appreciate the wonder= ful effect the soft light from shaded candles gives to a room until one has seen a room lighted in such a manner. Many women hesitate to buy candles because they cannot afford to buy the kind of shade that will look best in the room in which the candles are to be used. By closely examining a ready made add by following di- rections any woman who can wield a needle should be able to make suit- able shades. At any needlework store foundations for the shades can be bought elready made or can be made to order. Hav- ing purchased the foundatioms, it is next necessary to measure them to find out how much material will be needed to cover them, and the cov- ering of them will be found a most in- teresting process. One thing to re- member is that neatness is essential to the beauty of each shade. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A small baby can be soaped much better with the hands than with a wash cloth. The hands can feel into the cracks and crevices of the fat lit- tle body more effectively than a cloth, and are, besides, much softer.

Every child needs some corner to call his own. No matter how young he may be, no matter how restricted the home space, he should have some refuge from adult interference. Few city homes and apartment houses are built so that a whole room can be turned over to a child for his exclu- sive use. It is often possible, however, to give the child a corner in the living room or one of the sleeping rooms in which undisturbed. The result of such a scheme is that, instead of the toys’ being scattered all over the house, they are assembled in one spot and the mother's work is lessened. Low shelves, arranged like built-in bookcases, make an excellent storage place for playthings. By tacking a strip of denim the color of the paper along the wall it is possible to protect the paper from fin- ger marks and at the same time it offers a place for the child to pin his drawings or the pictures that appeal to his taste. Children love individual possessions and often a plant or flower will add greatly to the appearance of the child’s corner and at the same time will be a source of pride. HYACINTHS. Hyacinths that have been forced in water are of no account after bloom- ing. But those flowered in pots can be dried off gradually. When spring comes plant them in the open border and they will flower the following year out of doors. The flowers will likely be small, but even small -hya- cinths are attractive. .A YEAR AGO TODAY. Jan. 31, 1915. Kaiser directed German assault on _La Ba French zouvaes and East Indians won the Great Dune west of Lom~ When you are tired and nervous, a good rubbing all over the body with the lotion here given will be very restful. Lie quietly in bed after the rubbing for half an hour and you will then feel quite equal to taking up the daily tasks again. Here is the lotion: Diluted alcohol, six ounces; cologne ‘water, six ounces; tannin, ten grains. ‘There are two very simple but effec- tive remedies for that kind of sleep- lessness that comes from overwork or nervous exhaustion. One is to have the feet very warm. Put them against a rubber bag fllled with hot water. A rubber bag is better than an earthen bottle, as it will retain the heat for hours. The second method is much more simple. Discard the pillow, turn over and lie on stomach with hands clasped under the forehead to 1ft the head a trifle. This will often send one to sleep. Menaces to beauty are found, at this time of the year, in the neglected cold, in the chill, which too often strikes in when the fair one steps forth from the dance or the theatre, into the raw, night air. At the same dance, by further token, the air may have been to hot and the dancer may have sought relief and strengthening in some over-rich or over-sweet re- freshments. Or, after the theatre, the little meal, which should be nourish- ing and tasty, may have been of un- substantial bits, or of shelfish in some form, which lies heavy and inert in the stomach for many hours. SMART HANDKERCHIEFS. The smartest kerchiefs for thrusting into the breast pockets of tailored coats are of a sheer, fine linen, with very narrow hemstitched hems in color. The one-color woman will have a dozen of these dainty kerchiefs, bordered with her favorite shade; but most women prefer a variety of shades, so delicate and desjrable are the colors. One may purchdse a box of these handkerchiefs with hems in flesh pink, pastel blue, buff, spring green ang lilac. LACE BOOTS. Button boots have always been the rule for tajlored suits, but recently laced boots have been considered smart. A good looking laced model in a walking shoe with vamp of demi-pat- ent leather and gray calf uppers is worn with a gray, fure trimmed cos- me. Another striking style is of Ha- vana brown kid, laced, nine inches high, trimmed with perforated bands and Louis heels. Side lacings frequently, in fact as & rule, appear in the high grade shoes, and_while being very smart are not conductive to one's eace of mind while performing this little detail of dressing. The princess model frequently -has a black diatnond on the toe. In white kid this model is exceptionally attrac- tive for dress wear. In keeping with the fur craze, the latest walking boot has a bracelet of fl;lt-;lmtchlng the peltry on the cos- .. DICTATES OF FASHION. ‘The most fashionable coiffures are ‘high.

Instead, take yarn and run stitches across the rent. begin at the top left hand side and chain stitch down the row of cross threads, taking in a thread at every stitch. These chain etitches have same effect as the knitted rib, and the yarn matches the darn will not be noticed. Sofa pillows were never more charming! Where is the woman who can resist the appeal of thé newest rose- petal one? It is shaped exactly like a rose, with the petals nearest the heart of the deepest shade. ~Each petal is cut separately, gathered where it is attachbed and by this means is shaped so that the perfect flower is simulated petal by petal Among these satiny petals the head sinks to rest in downy case. Half tones—that is what they call the work of black and white artists who work not in pen or bold black and white, but in the varying shades of gray tones between the two ex- tremes. A new mode of embroidery stimulates this work. It uses both black and white threads, but it also uses plenty of grays until a basket of flowers on the end of a scarf looks more as if drawn with soft charcoal than with needle and thread. Try this on the new patern which you in- tended working in plain white. It is a welcome variation from the solid color or all white acheme. TO PLACE MIRRORS. Place a mirror over the fireplace to reflect the room. Place one between the windows at end of a long, narrow room to em- { phasize the light there. Place one where it will reflect a charming glimpse of the garden through a window opposite it. living room to give a sense of epa- ciousness. Place one in a bedroom where will catch the light. Place one in a bedrom where it will reflex the mirror of the "dress- ing table. Remember that flowers in front of a mirror are . twice as attractive as flowers placed against a wall. it CONCERNING WOMEN.
