President Wilson in his address to young democrats at Shadow Lawn | Saturday launched out in an effort to answer everyone of the republican claims, and among other things to be expected following republican success in November, he said, is “the certain progpect we shall be drawn into the embroilments of the European war.” Such of course was meant. for a sop to those who have placed so much stress upon the claim that he has kept us out of war, even though they give little or no_consideration to the hu- miliation which has gone with such accomplishment. It is a well known fact that this country doesn't want war, and that it does want peace, but it wants peace with honor. Such is the desire of the republican party and its standard bearer and such is the assurance, instead of a prospect of war, which will accom- pany republican success in the na- tional election. President Wilson is fully aware of this, for he must knmow that Mr. Hughes said in his speech of accept- ance that “It s a great mistake to say that resoluteness in protecting American_rights would have led to war. Rather in the course lay the best assurance of peace. Weakness and in- decision in the maintepance of known rights are always sources of danger. ‘We should not have found it difficult to maintain pagce, but we should have maintained peace with honor.” That has the true ring of American- SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ‘When eauces are set away, put a few bits of butter on the top to pre- vent a_crust from forming. pastry For making good pastry, thor- flour and the best shortening, oughly chilléd, should be used.

Washable satin ribon*is now almost as much used for lingerie as is the conventional wash ribbon. A novelty for lingerie ribbon is white ribbon edged with a tiny thread of gold. Rosettes are used on underwear, and so are flowers made of folded satin ribbon in blue and pink. Sl et DICTATES OF FASHION. A Ssherwife sleeve is rather short and the cuff is turned back. The most interesting feature of a wash skirt is usuay its pocket. The new neckwear shows quaint capes of silk and plaited maline, Yellow corduroy facings and pockets, trim 2 black satin bathing suit. Some of the best street and motor coats are cut large and loose, to cover the entire dress. There is a revival of rich, bright plaids and_ stripes for wrap = linings and the effect is very charming. Many of the new topcoats are fin- ished at the neck with a wide scarf that ties gracefully into a large, soft bow. Tatting is an attractive finish for children’s frocks. Popifn in bright colors is a favor- ite for sport coats. Hand painted leghern hats are cov- Grace D.

Just because there iz no change in the administration of town affairs for the ensuing year, because town offi- cers were elected a year ago for a period of two years, does not mean that there should not be a proper amount of interest shown in the an- aual town mecting tonight. This is the occasion when the appropriations are made for the next twelve montis, when the needs of the town are con- sidered and when the tax rate is fixed and it is important that there should be a representative gathering of the townspeople to take care of such vi tal matters. Even though there are po unusual questions to be presented to the tax- payers this is the time to zive en- dorsement to an efficient administra- tion and to sec that full provision for continuing such is made. There can be no question as to the necessity of the appropriations for taking care of the regular business of the town since they speak for themselves, but it is equally important that those which are classed 2s extras should get due attention and considerate treatment. These matters are few in number but great in importance and if they could e the appropriation for the Otis library and that for the tuition of the pupils at the Free Academy might well be included in the budget.

No one ever heard of the Balkan states having so much difficulty get- ting into war as appears to be the case at the present time.

A COMMENDABLE MOVE. The democrats of the Norwich pro- bate' district are to be congratulated upon the action which they have taken in endorsing the candidacy of Judge ‘Nelson J. Ayling' for judge of probate. !For a long timq it'has been recog- nized that this office was too impor- tant to have it kicked about as a po- litical football. The office 1is one which should be outside such influence and the democrats have taken proper [recognition of that'fact by the plac- ling of the present incumbent upon \their ticket, which actfon of course makes sure that he will be Tetained in office. Judge Ayling has,filled, the position ‘of “fudge’ of i probate‘for a number of \years in. a manner which has given ‘full satisfaction. He has worked with /the determined idea of keeping it out of politics and of administering the idutfes with the utmost falrness, The experience which he had had has made him familiarwith the intricacles which are involved and the course which has {been followed by the.party of opposite tical faith is only in accordance that which has been done in ‘many of thé other probate districts of ithe state. | Thoroughly qualified for the posi- . mot only by the experience which ihe has.received since he has held it - for the'past dozen years, but by his ‘Ayling as well the Lloyd George from insisting that the ‘war must go to a finish. President 'Wilson says that militar- ism is abominable and so says the country, but that does not mean that eiforts to secure both military and in- dustrial preparedness can be given up. ‘With determined efforts underway for better roads and better sidewalks, there still remains plenty of opportu- nity for an jmprovement, in the arc light service therefor in certain sec- -tions. Things Mr. Wilson would like to forget: The one term plank, the de- feat of Westcott in New Jersey, the Tesults of the tariff for revenue only and his previously declared attitude in regard to labor. Villa may or may not be moving towards the punitive expedition but it he tries any such tactics on it as he dld upon Chihuahua he will find that he has encountered a different kind of a proposition. The improvement which is daily taking place in the condition of the sidewalks is one to be proud of, and those who have oceasion to use fhem appreciate the permanent benefit that is being wrought for the city. A multi-millionaire has been made Ppolice commissioner of Detroit at $5,- 000 a year, and it ,remains.to be seen ‘whether he will do like a former Phil- adelphia offictal who had money _and therefore turned his $10,- into the police pension fund _charities. wise precaution.

You would not expect to find a des- cription of cottage inail boxes among needlework notes, but that is exactly where these newest boxes belong, for they are made with needle and thread. They are made of heavy cardboard or a light wood, like that of cigar boxes, and covered with cretonne to match the *hangings in the living hall, or dining room. A disk of the board is first covered with cretonne. To this is joined with ‘a puffing of cretonne a smaller_disk inclosing a bit of mica upon which the words, “Outgoing Mail” or “Incoming Mail” are lottered. Now this should be enough of a sug- gestion for any number of cute hold- ers for the mail as it arrives or is ready for the post. Cigar boxes may form the foundation of these wall pockets, which can be made as ca- pacious as one likes, and may be cov- ered with bits of the hangings, or with the wall paver or even painted in Dbright shining colors. HINT FOR TRAMPERS. Drs. DeFleury and Jacquet, sur- geons in the French army, have dis- covered a simple and effective method of relleving fatigue in campaigning troops. They call it-the “biokinetic method” of resting—which means that onc generates his own dynamic en- crgy or’ kinetic force by their plam The idea is temporarily to expel the blood from the legs by raising them. The soldiers remove their shoes and lie prone on’the ground, Close to a tree or wall, with heads slightly ele- vated. Then they raise their leas against the wall, stretching upward as far as limb limitations permit. In this attitudo the toes and ankles are worked or “wriggled” Dbriskly. Then the knees are flexed and extended a half. dozen,times or more. A body of men, -apparently in the last stagea of exhaustion, recuperate _their cnergies with from five to fifteen minutes’ ex- ercise of ‘this kind. Also, they are wonderfully freshened by -ithe flow of blood whichipours back into the tis- sues as they resume their standing room; remove all tight clothing and 3] T L5 o s o = off one needle w thread, holding Sl e e remaining needles against spool Castor oil Will help the hair to oL 7 2 % grow.

In leisure mioments and good light, thread a paper of neecdles cn pools of thread to be used when busy, knot- ng thread ends. When wanted draw belt, stitch a little edge of lace around the bottom and you will have a skirt that will last a long time. When tatriing wita two threads and you have trouble with the ball thread tangling, wrap an iron spool with white paper to keep thread clean. Wind ball thread on it and keep in a bag upon vour arm. It is heavy enough to draw the thread tight with ons twist of little finger. In working on satin never use dou- ble silk or cotton. Doubling causes the “He” of the two threads, and therefore an even stitch cannot be se- cured %and the work seems rough and coarse. If the work reanires a double thickness, draw two- threads together from the skein and treadh them at the Same time through the eye of the nee- e. An easy way to hang a skirt by one- self is to put a piece of chalk in the opening of the dining room table and push the table together so it holds the chalk firmly. Then with the ekirt on turn slowly around, ceotking the skirt around the hips as you turn. Take the skirt off and mavk off the number of inches below the chalk line that you desire the skirt to be. RIBBON MODES. Both wide and narrow ribbons are generally used on gowns and hats, and narrow ribbons are used for ruches, frills and rosettes. Soft silks are used for quillings, both vertical quillings, or in a series, cne inside the other. While hats are made of moire ribbon with a fancy edge. Smart girdles are made of three or more shades in pastel col- orings. A favorite combination is rose, old blue and violet. Ribbons with a metal thread forming the edges and lines running through the middle make them siff enough to stand out crisply when shirred to form a ruch- ing or plaiting for o frill. A ribbon in hunter's green spots of cerise and violet in geomeiric precision in- side the border are suitable for a sports dress. A satin ribbon in dull green and brecaded pattern in black and white is also in this class. BUREAU SCARF DESIGN. The treatment of a flying bird in a new bureau scarf suggests possibili- ties for other pieces of needlework. The scarf is worked in blue and so is the bird. The entire outline of the bird is made of small cyelets varying at once. Baked Tomatoes and Cheese — Two cups of canned tomatoes, 2 cups fresh breadcrum 1 cheese, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon bakedish with but crumbs in bottom, half tomatoes, little sugar and salt, half the rest of crumbs, rest of tomatoes, su- gar, salt and rest of cheese; put in moderate oven and bake 35 to 40 min- utes. This makes a wholesome and hearty dish. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Urgent Need for More Help. Mr. Editor: A little time ago the people of Norwich and vicinity re- sponded to an appeal to help save the suffering women and children of A menia. All who gave then are glad of it now. But the call is being repeated today with greater urgency than ever. The need is awful beyond any words to describe. Thousands of homeless children, largely orphans, are not cnis starving but they are alfo destitute of clothing. Their rags have become worn so thin that they have nothing left to cover them. Winter is ap- proaching, their condition is indescrib- ably wretched. In the Caucasus only there are, as estimated, more than 60,000 of these. The American consul there, Mr. Smith, sends this cable- gram: . “Bstimated cost of material only for*20,000 refugees this winter, $100,000. Are funds available for this purpose? Reply urgent.” This want so overwhelmingly great as to make little impression upon us. We only need to see one little child, with bare feet, on frozen ground—as the writer has’secn—begzing for a crust of bread, and our hearts would be harder than adamant 't we did not gladly share the last el we had with the help- less suff cr. We should search our house to find something with which to cover those bare limbs. . We should take the timid suppliant into our warm voom, and we should try to say some comforting words. We should try, in our imperfect way, to take the place of the rememtered mother. We should not forget how good God had always been to us. We should call to mind how that very morring we had read in our Testament: “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, ye have dome it unto M JOHN OTIS BARROWS.

Some time ago our late democratic city government exerted sn unusual amount of energy to have the gas and electrical commission increaged from three to five as a commission of three from a democratic standpoint was too small for such a big thing. About once in 5o often we are informed that owing to the increased sale of gas and electricity it will be necessary to In- crease the facilities for producing more -|gas and_electricity to meet the de- mand. Mr. Editor, would it not be well for them to incrsase their facili- ties for washing the globes on the arc street lamps, thereby glving what lit- tle light there is a chance to get out so the owners of the plant can sce them? If the city municipal gas and in size with the outline of the various parts of its body; The entire bird is then filled in with even running stitch- o of 1o biue.. This-.o0 electrical department cannot afford to use decent lamps or produce electric current enough, to light the lamps they have, they might apply to the 'court of common _council_for. an To such simple-minded persons as ourselves, there is something pecuiiar- ly hymiliating in_the_spectacle of an under-officfal of the British Embassy at Washington coming to New York to discuss with our leading bankers the question of American mails and shipments. The discussion, it appears, had to do with the expediting of American mails_and parcels post and the question of the blackli We had thought that those subjects nat- urally were the sole province of the national Government and the Depart- ment of State. We must admit, how ever, that the lack of vigoc in that pranch of the Government in. frecing our mails and other means of com- munication from a lawless foreign control has been so marked as to it not surprising that private indiv uals have undertaken to do what they can unofiicially in order to improve corditions. Only yesterday it was reported that the British Government had graciously consented to turn back to the American owners twelve hux dred parcels which it had taken from the mails’ and carefully examined. was specifically stated in the despatch that nothing contraband whatever was found in these packages save such deadly prticies as false ha'r, false teeth, souvenirs, gifts, etc, and it was added that none the less Great Britain will not permit the sending of these packages to their destinations. Of course, the owners may have them for the asking. How utterly humiliating this is for Americans to read! Yet Shadow Lawn is supremely happy in telling our business men how _this Administration has freed our trade from all restrictions and how we ars now golriously going out to take the world by storm—New York Evening Post, Ind'd. STORIES OF THE WAR “A Ladylike Chap” Did Five Germans. “We had with us,” a corporal in a Liverpoo! regiment said, ‘a rather quiet, ladylike chap that everybody thought to be a bit of a bluff. Wait- ing ‘to get into i’ one morning some of the chaps chipped him a lot, ask- ing him i he would like his mother to hold his hand and that sor{ of thing. The quiet chap never answered a word, “I ‘forgot all about him when the dash began, but when We were in it up to the neck I saw one of our lads getting more than his fill of the fighting. He was in the middle of a crowd of Huns, everyone of whom was trying to down him. e was wound- ed, his rifle was knocked out of his hand in the scrimmage, and five of the enemy seemed anxious to have the honor of finishing him off. “They rusned at him with levelled bayonets. He dodged the first, and be- for the Hun knew what was happen- ing he got a blow under the chin from the fist of the quiet chap. There were only four enemies them. The quiet chap struck out once more with a blow that would have felled the sturdiest ox in the world. “Then there were only three. ~The first of the three got ome in the pit Tt of the siomach that doubled him up and mede him howl like a stricken an- imal. That left two. The quiet chap picked up a rifie belonging to one of the vanquished Huns.

The convention d fate and issued a challenge which will be cheerfully ac- cepted by the Republicans. —His of- ficial name is Cummings, but his po- litican cognomen is Goings.

Most of these foreign-born children hope for much from America. Their one desire is to become “Americans.” For this they need to learn American ideals and tradition as well as gram- mar and arithmetic, and they seek these ideals with the same eagerness and wiilingness to accept them that they showed toward the school les- sons. It is the native's task to give the minds and hearts of these bright, eager children the education they crave in service and citizenship as well as in the routine subjects of the public_school curriculum.—Waterbury Republican. The immense growth of the postal savings bank in Bridgeport suggests the wisdom of a campaign to teach people to deposit their money in local banking institutions. It is as safe there as anywhere in the world, and money so deposited helps Bridgeport. When a man wants to build a nouse and seeks to borrow money, the chances are that he will get the loan from a local banking institution. Just so with the extension of any business. There s hardly an institution of any kind buts finds it occasionally neces- sary or useful to borrow from the bank, and money deposited in local banks thus helps solve local financial problems. Be for Bridgeport.—Bridge- port Telegram. The traffic_situation in New Haven promises to become more complicated | as the number of motor vehicles used on our streets increases. It can scarce- Iy be expected to become a_matter of less concern. A traffic of 15,000 vehi- cles threugh our central streets, many of them narrow and congested to the point of greatly increasing the chance of serious acoidents, can be cared for only through such a’ construetive solu- tion of the problem as the committe of citizens have recommended.

The campanile, the roofless baptistry and church proper date from the sixth century and stand on the site of an even earlier struc- ture, probably of the third or fourth century, judging {rom the mosaic pavements and inscriptions which have been uncovered. The cathedral now standing was begun abouy 11 years after the establishment of the Parenzo bishopric in 524. Some of the mosaict work in_this building, which is_dedicated to St. Maurus, is cspeci- ally brililant, and in the apse walls theére is rich inlay work in marble and mother of pear], similar to that in the more widely known cathedral of Torcello, near Venice. “Parenzo enjoyed a considerable trade before the outbreak of the war and the principal occupations of its 7,500 inhabitants, mainly Italians, were shipbuilding and fishing. The port is 35 knots by sea south of Trieste and 35 miles distant by rail. it is ten miles north of the interest- ing _town of Rovigno, the Rubiginum of the ancients. “The history of Parenzo goes back to the second century before the Christian _era, when it was known as Parentium. It was eclevated to a place of prominence by Augustus Caesar who established a colony here shortly after his overwhelming naval victory at Actium where Marc Antony fled, ignominiously surrendering ail hope of a world empire in order to seek forgetfulness in the caresses of the Egyptian siren Cleopatra. “Under the Roman empire Paren- tium became a town of 8,000 inhabi- tants within the walls, while 10,000 people occupied the suburbs. During the ascendancy of the Venctian re- public it acknowledged the supremacy of the Queen of the Adriatic, and as & result in 1354 was sacked by a Gen- oese fleet commanded by one of the famous Doria family which figured conspicuously in the history of the west Italian city during the 14th cen- tury. “In adition to the famous cathedral, Parenzo_guards the interesting ruin$ of two Roman temples. The peninsu- la on which the town is built is sup- posed to be subsiding gradually into the Adriatlc as the pavements of the | Roman period are three feot below the | present street levcls, while the eity | site today is in no place more than | five feet above sealevel. Overlooking | the port from an island at the mouth of the harbor is a lighthouse. “A few miles to the south of Par- | enzo are the Bfionian Isiands whose | quarries furnished practically all the | stone for the palacés and bridges of | medieval Venice.” The War A Yéaar Ago Today October 2; 1915, Russians gained op the Vilna front.
