It wants to and the indications are that it will join the entente allics, but it is still hovering on the brink of war and not IN- a little of its trouble is duc to the position which it has been forced to take by King Constantine. Dimitracopoulos in spite of his lean- ing towards the entente to make an azroel to his likins. of prominence, X. eroy pro-entente sympathy, has undertaken the duties of a premier and has or- nized a cabinet and like others he will, if he bas not already, come to the realization of the embarrassing position in which his country has been placed by the failure to make terms With the allies at an earlier date. Germany of course appreciates the fact that the lonzer Greece delays the longer will the allies be kept gues , and th ans an increased del in the offensive which will be Jaunched by the forces at Saloniki under Gen- was not able eral Sarrail. That it is firmly con- vinced that Greece will eventually go into the war with the Freach and British, to which it already owes much end to which it must look in the fu- ture, is disclosed by the taking of those 49,000 Greek soldicrs from the vicinity of Kavala who had been shut off from the remainder of Greece and transporting them to Germany. Greece and Germany are not at war so that they cannot be considered prisoners, yet that is what it virtually amounts to, and it is a clever move for it means just that much less strength for the Greek army when the time does come for it to enter into the struggle. NEEDED LEGISLATION. Some surprise is expressed that a federal grand jury in Pennsylvania should draft and send to the court recommendations for the enactment of stringent federal and state laws for the halting of illegal iraffic in drugs, the punishment of persons ilty of supplying victims with narcotics and the establishment of public institu- tions for the care of drug victims. The surprise comes not because these rec- ommendations were made as the r sult of the evidence that was present- ed but because it came unsolicited, it being unusual for such written recom- mendatiohs to be made unless request- ed. But when it is realized that evidence had been presented them as the re- sult of which seven physicians were indicted for traffic in drugs, there be- ing 1083 counts against one doctor and 889 against another there can be no wonder that they considered it time for such recommendations to be made. Thes Harrison drug; act has resulted in a large number of prosecutions throughout the country and it has been the means of putting a stop to much of the traffic, but loopholes have been found in the law and it is for the purpose of blocking these that the grand jury thinks action should be taken. It certainly is a matter which calls for attention. The demoralizing effect of drug using is too well known to be permitted to go unrestrained and ‘when it is found that there is not the proper legislation to eliminate it laws cannot be passed too soon. The grand jury is to be commended for its rec- cmmendations without waiting to be asked to render them. ATTACKING MR. HUGHES. ‘When they are deprived of other methods of attack it is a well known fact in politics that there is recourse to the way in which a campaign is conducted. This {s the case now with the democrats. They find in Charles E. Hughes a candidate who threatens to sldetrack democratic success. They realize that he has hit upon some mighty tender spots and that what he has said in his addresses about the country has made a strong appeal with the people. They understand democratic administration which their people are looking for and he has hit hard, and they are doing their best to detract from the deplorable picture he has presented by attacking his meth- ods. It has been claimed that his is a campaign of fault finding, but however beneiicial that can be, it is a fact, as stated by the Philadelphia Ledger, that “his strategy has not been confined to tearing down by any means. He has laid bare the blunders and worse of the intrenched power he is assailing, but he has done more. He has con- structed a program of action which should appeal to the good judgment as well as the interest of patriotic Amer- icans. He pledges himself to some- thing a great deal more than lip ser- vice to the merit system, to the prin- ciple of an executive budget and to a preparedness that shall include within its scope every avenue of the natlonal activity—military and naval, commer- cial and industrial. And when Mr. Hughes makes a promise he has be- hind him that record of achievement, of honorable loyalty to the people, that singled him out over all others as the republican standard bearer in this year of great national and inter- national crises, a record that inspires confldence.” Is there any wonder the democrats are resorting to an attack on campaign methods? ONLY A PRETENSE OF RIGHTING A WRONG. Much credit is being claimed for the part which the administration has taken in the passage of the child labor law. Regardless of the fact that this s a matter which ought to have re- ceived attention long ago, and should have been taken up without regard to politics, it has heen delayed too long already and any administration which takes steps to end the evil is cntitled to the credit that goes with it. But in this instance the democrats are endeavoring to throw boquets at themselves for much more than they have really done. They have, it is true, through the insistence of the president secured the enactment of a child labor bill but so amended that while it may slightly restrict the em- ployment of children in the manufac- ture of £00ds to be sent into oth ites it is in fact not what it seems. tead of forbidding the shipment of lucts, in the manufacture of which en have been employed, in the rstate commerce, it declares that restriction is placed upon goods the labor of children has been Te used within thirty davs before ship- ment. in other words the law does not v in the case of products which have been ready shipment for a month but which have not act- left the state in that time, This is simp] of 1 ng to do some inz nothing. It is a plece of mak shift legislation, a dodse that was placed in the bill in the scnate which knocks out all the credit which might ually one way retend 1g and yet really do- otherwise be claimed. It is a pretense at righting a wrong but it fails to right it. THE WESTERN OFFENSIVE. New attention is directed to the Eu- ropean war along the western front by the continued success of the Pritis and Trench. Thus far von Hinden- has been unable to throw in their obstacle which has checked v advance. The new plan of the allies of covering a definite amount of ground and stopping is beinz faith- fully carried out. Gradually has each army sone ahead adding one, two or three villages at a time to the territory which they ac- quire and_control, regardless of the counter attacks of the enemy, and even though it is the claim of Berlin that there were 400,000 troops engaged in the British drive which captured Courcelette, Martinpuich and Fler &round gained makes more cer- tain the ultimate fall of Combles, one of the points which it is necessary to sec = before attempting direct a saults upon elther Peronne or E: paume, the objectives of the offensive along the western front which bega last July. It is a steady wearing down of the German defense and the way in which the allies have pierced one line after another shows how the campaign has been mapped out and how faithfully it is being followed. At no time has the opposition of the German forces indicated its faiiure, for though they are disputing the way It has long since been demonstrated that the methodical advance of the allies is hound to succeed and once these two important cities are taken new and bigger developments will take place rapidly.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ‘Some people like their potatoes to have the additional flavor given by a pinch of sugar added (as well as salt) to the water while boiling.

Fasten stockings together in_ pairs by means of coarse thread before sending them to the laundry. To Sharpen a Knife Quickly— A strip of emery cloth tacked to a small square board will be found use- ful for quickly sherpening the carv- ing knife. Ironing a Bias—Be sure to iron garments with the straight of the goods and thus prevent stretching of the blas seams.

When the roses begin to come collect the petals or save those from the flor- ists’ flowers which appear occasion- ally in most houses. Frem these make a potpourri after some authentic re- cipe and from bits of silk ribbon make small bags drawn up on cords to be filled with the sweet-smelling mixture. Sandalwood eachet mixed with dried petals, lavender, hops, pine needles. ctc., all make suitable fillings for these bags, if you can find small boxes to hold them and decorate them with a painted card and verse you will have some very pretty ac- ceptable dainties pht away in the name of preparedness. FIRELESS COOKER POINTS. 1. The cooker must he well packed Wwith non-conducting material. The pails, or cooking buckets, must fit in the “nests” and have tight covere. 3. The pails and lids showld be enamel, aluminum, or of mnon-rusting material. 4. De sure the 1id is tight. 5. All food must be cooked a short time ‘on the stove first, in the pail which fits into the “hay box” or cook- er. 6. The food must be taken directly from the stove and put into the cooker. 7. If the box Is opened during cooking process pafl must be reheat- ed. Never let food cool in the cooker. 9. Keep the cooker open when not in use. Have the pails well scalded, dried and aired to prevent the box from getting a musty odor. OLD CREPE. You will find that steaming will make old crepe look nearly equal to new. Place a little water in a tea kettle and let it boil until there is plenty of steam from the spout; then, holding the crepe with both hands, pas sit to ond fro several times through the steam, and it will look clean and new.

MAKE YOUR OWN PORTIERES. Very pretty portieres can be made at home by exerclsing a little inge- nuity. One pair seen lately was of soft green arras cloth. Tw bands of olive brown linen were applied to the curtain, sbout six inches from the bottom. The tops of these bands were outlined in a heavy lne of golden tan rope silk in outline stitch, and the lower edzes of the ban@s were treated in the same way in olive green rope silk. Three em- broidered bands of outline embroid- ery also ran the length of the cur- talns. These bands were composed of three lines of rope silk, two tan and one green in the middle. Ancther very effective curtain can be made by using gray material and applying to it a hem cf darker gray, decorated with small cubes, embroid- ered in solid vellow and outlined in Dlack. A portiere that is a little more in- tricate in the making will amply re- Ray one for the tromble.

Columbus, Ga., has a board of trade composed exclusively of women. Fargo, S. D, has three women depu- ty food inspectors who serve without pay. Thirteen Fort Dodge (Minn.) girls have mutually agreed to waik 500 miles each year. Madlle. Marie Marvingt of France is considered the greatest female athlete in the world. Miss Helen V.

The immigrant now comes in bunches. When he gets here he colonizes. All his old cus- toms and idiosyncracies are practiced, often emphasized beyond what his na- tive country afforded him the opportu- nity of doing. Instead of Maying stress on the maxim, In Rome do as Rome does he practices his own maxims, dis- regards our customs and even affects to think he can teach us a thing or two. So he inserts the hyphen, and is proud of it. As has been well satd he is that thing first, and after that whateyer of him is left, that is Ameri- can. It is a lamentable thought that at any period we should need a show of hands here as to who are for Amer- ica, but we trust if ever that time comes it will be seen that the ma- jority is on the right side, and that there is but one country, one flag and one citizenship—and that is AMERICAN. Norwich, Sept. 16, 1916. Stars and Stripes at the Top. Editor: In this morning’s issue I find the letter from one H. L Roller, who not only eliminates ths hyphen, but also punctuation marks, as his let- ter proves. it s not my policy to analyze the letter, but there are some statements I will correct. First, his vision is also affected, for he has my initial wrong, and secondly, I have not said that 1 was an Irishman, for being born in this country I am an American, ai- though I use the hyphen to designate the nationality of my parents. If, by his term “community,” he means a nation, I say as before, let the Stars and Stripes float at the top. He now asks a meaningless ques- tion, for if a_person is an Irish-Amer- ican, certainly a visit to the land of his fathers will not make him an American-Irishman. As to the troops at the border, he has taken the wrong idea of my remarks. Look it over again. BD C. CURTIN. Montville, Conn., Sept. 16, 1916. The Iliness in the Taylor Family. Mr. Editor: In your issue of Sept. 1, 1916, on page 5, under the caption, c Sore Throat,” a para- graph published by you has come to my attention which I beg the privi- lege of connecting. s_article you state that Dr. .

This statement correct for Dr. Black came to ter at my request and exam- ined the children of the Brown and Snider families but did not visit thel Taylor family. !

HOWLAND, M. D. chester, Conn., Sept. 15, 1916. A Curtin-Roller. Mr. Editor: The above hyphenated o is suggested by the triangular discussion started by a well meaning lady on the matter of flags. As we re- call that short letter, we can not now, nor at the time did we, sec anything that should evoke an frritant or ill- natured reply. The lady named no names, nor used any personalities. In every 'way her letter was courteous and deslgned to be instructive. Her opponent_showed his cover, however, and in his view, administered his re- buke. Having ‘done this he should have had the gallantry to allow the lady to have the last word. Bspecial- Iy so as she had made her point so nicely, 2and he had exhausted all his 10sic in his first reply. It did not mend his cause to draw inference from the lady's name and then charge her with an attitude which her letter dis- avowed. The clouds having been rol ed by, let us hope that the Curt(a)in is now drawn down and that after the film has passed we may apply the les- son growing out of the episode. Some of us have lived long enoush in Amer- ica to remember the time when the hyphen was not so hard worked, be- | cause it did not then cut so much ice as it is forced to do today. The im- migrant then came as an individual with a_personality of his own. He camo, singly; at most, in twos and threes. He didn’t go around adver- tising the country_he came from. We had fo learn this from his accent. If he possessed any eccentricities pecu- liar to his native heath he was wise enough and cunning enough to con- ceal or modify then to suit his new surroundings. He was not too proud to be an American. He was too proud to be a “greenhorn,” for that was the hyphen that confronted him. His aim and purpose was to adapt himself quickly, or as soon as he could, to the new superior conditions he was con- scious he had found in this new land, and to become assimilated with its people and their customs and man- ners. This was the kind of immigrant that made this country and built up its liberal and beneficent institutions. You will have to trace back through a maze of deeds and records to find out today to what nationality he be- longs.

To all in- and purposes he was congress so great a part of it that he occu- pied a dominant place in its delibera- tions and actions. So in saying it did a zood work he merely pats himself on the back.—Ansonia Sentinel. Those who like the September result in Maine are apt usually to claim that it has scttled the November election.

POLITICAL ! Good Times, But Dear. WWhen are good times good? The rise of wages, and even the increase of employment, do not necessarily make them so if living expenses travel the upward route along with the pay check. The goodness of good times can be measured by the margin between the aggresate incomes and living expenses. The greater the mar- gin the better the times. One of the 4ndicators showing the swelling or shrinkage of this margin in the State of New York is the yearly balance of the savings bank depositors. On July 1 1915, $1,833,- 242,000 stood to _those depoeitors’ credit, and the figure revealed an increase of $71,717,000 over the de positors’ credit’ balance of a year before. As there are some 3,335,000 savings bank accounts, each bank book has zained to the extent of $27.50 or thereabout. The fraction of the people which saves through these banks has been increased, as is shown by some 150,000 more deposits now as against a year earlier. ven so, with the average deposit $594, an increase of $27.50 is hardly impressive. Tt amounts to but a few dollars more than the interest ac- crued on the deposit, or that part of it allowed to remain undisturbed.

No More Back-Breaking Scuttles To Be Carried Up Those Cellar Stairs If you buy coal in large quantities you must have room to store it; if in small quantities, it is expensive. When you want to use it you must carry it from its storage place to your range, and of all tasks that is one of the most weary. When you burn wood or coal you have the heat, dirt, and the trouble of attending to the fire. If you use gas you require no room for storage; no back breaking scut- tles to be carried from the cellar to the kitchen. The fire in the gas range burns steadily and without atten- tion; it is always ready, without dirt or trouble, in large or small quantities.
