This s the week which has been set aside for the annual clean up of the city. It should mot only be par- ticipated in by city departments but every individual should contribute his part to it. It will be the first time if there is not a chance for practically &veryone to enter into the movement with such a determination that a week hence it will be possible for tne citi- zens to notice the results without be- ing obliged to have them pointed out. The city clean up is as greatly needed as the annual house cleaning. There are places which have been al- lowed to become unmsightly by the dumping of refuse material, by the scattering of papers and tin cans, by permitting back and front yards to get into untidy condition. There are side streets and alleyways which are not only eyesores but breeding places for disease. In most instances it will require but a short ‘time to bring about a decided improvement. There will be those who will set a good example by starting in bright and early this morning to do what they can in this direction, and the lesson which is thus set should be carefully followed. Tt might be well’ if this undertaking became a competi- tive affair, with the residents of the neighborhoods doing their utmost to outdistance those who live nearby in getting such property as they are re- sponsible for cleared of the debris and lept clean, for everything of the kind means a most valuable contribution to the appearance of the city. There should not only be an effort made to clean up but influence and good example should be used at all times to prevent the littering of the streets. Well kept streets are a credit to any community and there is an in- dividual responsibility which should be exerted at all times to this end. “There 18 no reason why the clean up movement should » not attaln its greatest success this very week. THE BRITISH BLOCKADE. According to the statement made by Lord Robert Cecil, it is not the inten- tion of the British government to be influenced in any way by the recent action of Germany in modifying its submarine warfare. Such action upon the part of the imperial government was taken, mnot because it was seri- ously embarrassing Great Britain and its allies, but because it was a gross violation of International law and the rights of neutrals and humanity were being frightfully transgressed. Lord Cecil's statement was made in reply to the proposition put forward by the German foreign minister, von Jagow that inasmuch as Germany had abandoned its illegal methods that Great Britain should end -its lockade. As a matter of fact Ger- many has not given up submarine ‘ warfare, though it has agreed to end the unlawful features of it, It. was not asked to go that far, and only a refusal could have been expected if it had been, since it has a perfect right to use its underwater boats in a le- gitimate manner and secure all,the advantage from it that can be ob- tained. On the other hand Great Britain has a right to set up a blockade and maintain it. That its enemy is anxious that it should be abandoned is pretty good evidence that it has been and i#Weffective, and that the ending of it would be heartily wel- comed by the central powers. Germany made a grave mistaken when it included in its note the pro- vision that this country should do its utmost to call off the blockade in re- tion mflumm the part authorities and the courts to bring about a change in the conditions and establish a greater respect for the law. numm»tmnhunmn is at stake. This was the reason for the laws and regulations being en- acted and that is a good and sufficient cause for seeing that they are prop- erly observed. New Haven is there- fore, as the result of nmew police or- ders, experiencing a number of ar- rests among auto drivers, who are|top found disregarding the law, who are inclined to take chances because they thiftk they can get away with such |if th conduct and who display a careless- ness or recklessness which cannot be countenanced. There is need for all the protection that is furnished by the law and when disrespect is encountered, and contin- ues to be repeated after good and sufficient warning, it is time to act. This is what a New York judge has done in sentencing a driver to three vears in a penitentiary for the death of a woman, after he had been al- lowed to pay fines for previous vio- lations. Tt is the kind of action which is needed in Philadelphia where 48 deaths from autos have occurred since the first of the year, and it is he right step to take in every other community if just such fatalities are going to be prevented. ‘Let it be understood that no greater privileges are accorded to the opera- tors of motor vehicles than to any other user of the highways and that protection to which the people are en- titled will be secured, but it will not be obtained through laxity in the en- forcement of the laws. THE NATIONAL GUARD. ‘There may have been too much un- certainty expressed relative to the strength and value of the national guard in certain states of the union, in case of trouble, but it appears to find support in the revelations which have come to light as the result of calling out the militla in the states of New Mexico and Arizona. It is nearly two weeks ago that the call ‘was issued for the state, troops to mo- bilize for the purpose of doing patrol duty along the border. Following the Mexican raids there was certainly reason enough for sentiment in those states to be at such a pitch that there would be a ready response. It has not been made, however, and from reports the trouble lies in the fact that the militia companies are in poor shape, so much so that they would be of little use if the remnants were got- ten together for guard duty. This is a condition which would un- doubtedly be encountered in other states should a similar summons be issued to the existing militia organi- zations. Tt shows a lack of prepared- ness, which of course does not charac- terize all the states, but many more than those on the Mexican border are no_better off. ‘With such conditions revealed, it is shown that there is much that can be done in the way of federalizing the guard. Since the Dick bill was passed the militia has been put on a different basis in many states. The improve- ment was needed and it should have met with better response from certain sections of the country, but such a test as has been made shows the lack of fitness and discloses no small amount of work ahead in putting iri- to effect the provisions of the new federalization plan which bids fair to be adopted. Unless the state militia is going to be of some use il might as well not exist. EDITORIAL NOTES. It would never do to ask the people of Waco, Texas, what they think of the civilization in Mexico. ‘Many people are parading in behalf of preparedness, Jbut there are many who belfeve in it who are not parad- ing. The man on the corner says: Poli- tics seems quiet, but a lot of pussy- footing may be going on here and there, Villa is reported to have changed his name and renewed his operations. Like a leopard, however, he cannot change his spots, or his reputation. Those who are doing the most kick- ing about the cool weather May is providing will be the first to howl When it commences to warm up a bit. The shooting of three men in the strike riot at Ansonia is a good ex- ample of what ought not to charac- terize so many disputes between la- tween labor and capital. Over in England there is reported to be a shortage of wedding rings. They ousht to be able to pick up quite & number second hand omes by fol- lowing the divorce courts. Thomas A. Edison is reported to have taken but three hours’ sleep in three days. He must be working overtime trying to invent a goed rea- son why Col. Roosevelt should be re- elected president. ‘ The many ballots Whll; +have been required in the selection of the Meth- odist bishops indicated that there were so many good candidates that it was hard to make a choice. Secretary Daniels is reported dis- satisfied at the action of the house naval committee. He knows now how the naval board feels at the way in which he disregarded fts recommen- datjons. * While an increase in the price of coal is on the way, it is pertinent to inquire about the proceeds from the last raise, made to meet Pennsyl- vania’s clared unconstitutional, An Ohio railway company whose passengers carrying packages containing ovVer half a gallon of N- quor beaunutmonvme-w trons and yet it is the loads which| yjar m ply soap and water. ——— ‘Apply glycerine to a scald directly after tife accident occurs and cover it with rags -xumul with glycerine.

If you would prevent from boiling over, drop a piece of drip- ping the size of a walnut in the cen- tre of them. When a window is difficult to raise, pour melted iard between the frame and the casing and put a little also on the cord. 'When boiling a ham leave it in the water in which it has been cooked until it is cool. This will tender and juicy. ‘The well-beaten white of egg whip- ped into mashed potatoes before serv- ing them will add much to their ap- pearance and taste. \ 1 ha{-fl-bofled eggs are plunged into cold water as soon as they are taken from the fire, there will be no dark ring around the yolk. If a layer of sawdust is placed on the floor before laying the oilcloth, it will mark a much softer tread and in- crease the life of the oilcloth. TO FILL A HOT WATER BAG. ‘What a great comfort the hot water bag is for the little pains and aches that we all have once in a while. How foolish to deceive ourselves, however, that it is doing good, when it is half filled with air. We all know that it is the heat that does the work. Alr is a nonconductor of heat and cold and therefore we must get the air out of the bag. Fill the bag with water, u:!.ng judgment as to the amount, Sure not to have too much if Lhe'bag is to be used on a tender spot. Twist the tep of the bag, pressing gently to allow (he air to escape and quick- 1y ‘scrow on the cap. while . holling the bag in this way. Vigorously shake the bag, holding it by the bottom, to make sure none of the hot water will leak out. Now we must test the bag to make sure it will not burn; as it is noth- ing less than a tragedy to blister a patient with a hot water bag. A blis- ter made in this way is very bad to heal and almost always leaves a very ugly red scar, and sometimes renders useless the muscles burned. Place ible bag against your own cheek or the back of the hand to as- certain whether or not the bag is at the right temperantur WARMED OVER STEAK. The tough ends of steaks are a prob- lem with Housekeepers. Here 1s one way of saving them: <Chop rather ccarsely, cook in a little butter, dredge with flour, add seasonings and cream ‘When hot serve wiilh baked potatoes. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. An apple eaten before breakfast serves as a natural stimulus to the digestive organs. To cure frosted feet rub them with spirits of turpentine at night before going to bed. When a child gets a bad fall, peel and grate a raw potato and lay on the spot that has been bumped the most severely. The potato will reduce the swelling in’a short time. During the cold weather persons suffer with earache. lieve it roast a raisin and bind it as ot as it can be borne on the ear. The result is magical, relief coming quick- y. For chapped and rough hands the following wash will prove of benefit and will remedy the trouble. if used lcng enough. Lemon _ juice, three ounces; white brandy, half & pint. ‘The woman who does her own cook- ing often burns herself while frying potatoes or meat. For any kind of a burn or scald apply the white of an egg. It 1is most soothing and will cause the wound to heat quickly. A stye on the eye is not only sufi- clent to epoil any one’s good looks, but it is decidedly painful besides. To cure this disfigurement make a poul- tice of fresh tea ves moistened with water and apply to the stye. LINGERIE DRESSES. ‘White net is being used for lingerie dresses this season. ‘The washable ‘white net is selected, and when the pretty frock is soiled it may be sent to the laundry along with white dimity and lawn costumes.

Stripes are very fashionable and aré cleverly used. Gay-patterned linings are used in coats and suits. Delicate organdy embroideries are used in a number of dainty ways; many are lightly touched in color, especially old blue and delicate rose. Embroidered nets touched in color and used for en- tire frocks as well as for trimmings. NEW FACE VEILS. Loose, flowering vells are worn this spring. Some are made circular, while others are draped. The circular veil, with a round opening in the center which fits over the crown of the hat is will liked. The lacey designs with woven scroll patterns are especially atiragsive. Some of these veils are gathered on to an elastic band, allow- ing it to be adjusted over the crown of the hat. Some hang in straight lines to the shoulders, while others fin- ished with a ruche or band, which may be caught around the throat. There is a marked tendency toward the use of colored veils. The extensive use of color in millinery affords the well-dresse woman an opportunity to wear a_veil to match the color of her hat. ~ Brown, navy blue, taupe and plum or wistaria are all seen in colors which match perfectly those shown in straws and silks. _ All black and black and white vells are smart. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. From a remnant of heavy double- faced material (coating) can be made an excellent auto robe by bind- ing all around with leafher stitched, on machine. . From a remmant (blanket-weight) of suitable material can be made a lovely red blanket, by binding all around with satin or sateen of color manching stripe or check in material. From a remnant can be made a splendid shawl by drawing in fringe of yarn matching color or colors in material, then stitch - through the won't pull out. BAG OF LETTUCE. To place lettuce or parsley or celery in a cloth bag and keep directly on the ice means #hat the vegetable will keep fresh and crisp much lgnger than in any other way. Bags, all made and stamped with the name ‘Lettuce,” “Parsley” or “Celery,” may be had for 35 cents. There is a shir string at top to pull tight and keep the contents in place. It would possibly take about an hour to make one of these bags, but the comfort and satisfaction in us- ing one cannot be computed. GEORGETTE CREPE. rgette crepe is a favorite medium opening and filled in by a little vest of white crepe alternating with lines of white net infinitesimally tucked, one side stitched with a row of round pearl buttons; a feature of ‘the design is a high roll over collar and choker tie of the white crepe.

Even its I history, going back to the third cen- tury of the Christian era, is filled with stories of conflict, one of the earliest being a narrative of the defeat of the people of the surrounding province by the inhabitants of the town in 201. “One of the most events of Dublin’s early history is an echo of this hatred of the people of the coun- try districts for those of the city. The occurrence is commemorated in Irish chronicles as the Black Monday of 1209. 1t was during the Easter holi- days of that year, strangely parellel- ing the time of the present revolt, that the Irish of the surrounding moun- tains rushed down into the valley of the Liffey River, on whose banks Dub- lin is situated, and, while the inhabi- tants were celebrating the religious holiday, 500 cf their number were kill- ed. The place of the massacre is still known as “Bloody Fieids”, and for many yeers, in erder to keep alive the sense of outrage against the hill peo- ple, the citizens on each anniversary of Black Monday would march to the scene of the massacre, bearing ban- ners inscribed with the legend, A ter- ror to the Native Irish. “Even in the early days the vigor with which the people of Dublin waged their internecine strifes did not les- sen the impetuosity with which they entered upon any conflict with a for- eign invader. They tore down their churches to secure stones for their walls when preparing for the defense of their city against Bdwand -in 1315, and when the Irish governor, who had ylelded to the enemy; fell into the hands of the defenders, he :n.!! brought to Dublin and starved to eath. “One of the most spectacular out- breaks of the sixteenth century was that led by Silken Thomas (Sir Thom. as Fi d) a daring young noble- l’nzn ‘who, upon hearing that his father had been béeheaded in the tower of London, raised a army and marched to the gates of owlln. ‘where he was admitted by the intimidated citizens. Shortly afterward, however, when he endeavored to leave the city he found the gates locked.

He was Lord Edward Fitagerald, a It of the United Irishmen, who had received his military training in America, serv- ing under Lord Rawdon in the Revo- lutionary War. Lord Edward was one of the most pjcturesque Irish lead- ers of the 18th century and his beaufti- ful wife, the famous Pamela, Was an equally appealing figure in the revo- lution of 1798, during which Lord Bd- ward was captured and thrown into prison. where he died of wounds re- ceived in the struggle with the officers who arrested him while in bed. “A greatly-loved Irish patriot and orator, Robert Emmet, headed the revolution of 1803. Emmet, while try- ing to make his escape after an abor- tive attempt to seize Dublin Castle, was apprehended as he was saying farewell to Judge Curran's daughter, to whome he was devoted. His speech delivered on the scaffold the following day is one of the best-known examples of impassioned Irish oratory. William Smith O'Brien, from the South of Ire- land, was the leader of the rebellion of 1848 in-which Dublin took little part. The Fenian Society's activities of 1867, both in Treland and in Amer- jca, kept the capital city in & turmoil for many weeks. “Dublin Castle, which figures so con- spicuously in the city’s uprisings, is an unimposing cal-o-cld GIVES INSTANT RELIEF autho structure built originally | Sentinel. during the first quarter of the 13th century.

The most famous institution of the city is Dublin University, or Trinity College, founded under charter from Queen Elizabeth- in 1591, “Commerzially Dublin is famous for its poplins, its whiskey and its porter. At one time its woolen, cotton and lin- en manufacturies were extensive. Huguenots fled to this city and estab- lished extensive silk works after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes.” It will be good news to many auto owners in {he associated communities that the state highway commissioner intends to put in decent shape with a permanent pavement of concrete ma. terial the Derby section of the turn- pike running into New Haven. We ‘know of no stretch of road in the state that more needs attention. It is at present_only the travesty of a high- way.
