AYLING. ENOUGH" OF THE DEMOCRATIC TARIFF. Owing to:the emphasis which was placed upon it at the time it is im- possible to forzet the fact that the democratic platform of 1912 promised a reduction in the cost of living. The term of the administration which was put into power with such a platform drawing to a close, but it is not re- corded that there has been any ful- fillment of this promise. On the con- it is well known through daily xperience that the cost of living has een steadily advancing. It has got- ten to the state where an increased cost in some commodity or other is faced almost daily. en the feder: 1 statistics show thht the cost of living has advanced 14 per cent. during the Wilson admin- istration meaning an aggregate addi- tional cost of $500,000,000 in the food bill of the nation up to last July. Since that time it is well known that there have been further additions and there is no telling where they will stop. And this added cost dld not start with the opening of the war but had set in before it broke out. Much was sald by the democrats about the high cost of living having been due to the tariff. They proceeded to remedy the situation by _slashing the tariff laws as they found them, and still the country is waiting to be shown where the democrats have helped matters. The fact i$ that their claims about the republican tariff were groundless, since their own pro- duct has failed to improve the situa- tion, and yet the country has been de- nied that very protection which sound industrial prosperity requires. The country has had enough of the detri- nental effects of the democratic tarift MUST RESPECT HUNTING LAWS. When the announcement is made by Superintéfident Crampton of the fish and game commission of Connecticut that determined efforts are to be made to see that the hunting laws are obey- ed this fall, it will be realized that the undertaking is a big one but it is nevertheless important that such should be done. Not only is it important for tl proper protection of bird life, or game in general, but there are laws which require certain things of thoss who go into the country with a gun and it is important that there should be a full compliance therewith. It is true that hunting is one of the things which has advanced in cost but this should be applied to all alike and not mean that it involved simply those who are will- ing to pay the license and not to those who are not. It should not mean that the residents of the state must pay for the privileze when aliens and those from other states get by without it be- cause they take a chance at dodsing the law and there is no one to force obedience. There has been much of this in the past and it is the right attitude whigh Supt. Crampton takes when he gives notice that he will hold every hunter to the provisions of the law this fall, for the sooner this is fully understood by those who are affected the quicker president that there are some in the administration circles Wwho are hc- quainted gith the facts, Ambassador Bernstorff also declares that he has no information bearing upon the re- port, but his denial was made before his receipt of the communication from the commander of the submarine U-53. Just what this report is really based upon may be cleared up by the ar- rival of Mr. Gerard and even though such a request is brought by him it does not necessarily, mean that it will be followed. It is entirely possible that Great Britain has received some inkling of a move of this kind and it may be that it was such which prompted Lloyd George to make his recent speech upon that point when he in- sisted that the war must go to a fin- ish and that no meddling in behalf.of peace could be tolerated at this time. If such is the case he has given ex- pression to BEngland’s attitude, and probably that of its allies, before it has been asked. THE ADMINISTRATION'S WEAK- NESS. Sizing up the democratic adminis- tration in his recent address in New York, Elihu Root, a former secretary of state, pointed to the glaring defect which has prevailed through Presi- dent Wilson's term in office. He de- clares that the spirit of nationalism is not in either the president or his par- 5 Tite the nail on the head e tanie ure of the United oiates’ administi. tion to impress upon the other great powers a sense of the American spirit and American power. If this wation had stood where it should have the best safeguard against war would have been established. The fact is further emphasized by the speech of Theodore Rooseveit when he sald “President Wilson re- fused to speak in Independence Hall on the one hundred and twent-eighth anniversary of the signing of the Dec- ation of Independence in that hall, nd he so refused because inasmucn over one hundred ofg our men, women and children had just been murderad on the high seas be regarded it as ‘the very moment when he would not to arouse the sentiment of patriof ' Mr. Wilson has a posi- tive genius for striking when the iron’| is cold and fearing to strike when the iron is hot.” Is there any wonder that the nations of Europe got the idea that they could do with this nation about as "they pleased? Is there any surprise that this nation was “too proud to fight” they gathered that this nation was “too proud to fight” even before the president so declared? care MAINTAINING STATE ROADS. In Connecticut as well as in other stat there is a large growth each vear in the number of automobile own This means of course that there is a greater use of the highway: and that the expense of maintenance s necessarily increased. Equally so is it evident that good roads are lend. ing encouragement to the purchase of motor vehicles, and this applies to the residents in the country as well as to those in the cities. In this connection it is therefore in- feresting to note that the automobile bureau of the state shows that the li- cense fees received by the state from drivers and owners of autos during the fiscal year amount to the good sized sum’ of $780,000, and that the steady increase in this income is such that the state secretary is of the opin- ion that the revenue from this source will amount to a million or more next year. The money thus obtained goes for the expense of maintaining the state highways, because it is realized that good roads are important to the com- fort of automobile riding and decided- ty beneficial in the case of those ma- chines which are engaged in business pursuits. The wear and tear on the roads by automobiles make big high- way repair bills, even though it is largely due to the autoists that Con- necticut has its excellent system of state roads. It is apparent, however, that they are contributing their share to the upkeép and that they sgive promise of doing even better- in the future. EDITORIAL NOTES. Great Britain is being told now that money and a navy are’not all that is needed to win the war. The Minnesota estate of J. J. Hill has been appraised at $52,000/000. That shows what a poor boy can do when there is the will. _— The man on the corner says: Reg- ular hours are all right, but it is hard to go to bed and leave the hero of the novel in peril.

The armies of the belligerents are occupying European cities no faster than the returned vacationists are get- ting a grip on their cld home towns in this country.

WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES. Some girls have the strangest ideas of cool clothes for hot weather. So iong as their outside covering is of the sheerest gauze they think they should be cool. Now, as a matter of fact, physical coolness is more de- pendent on loose clothes than on thin cnes. If your sta are as loose as possible, if you have no tight collars nor shoes, if vour dress is loose in fit, you will be much cooler, even though the goods of your dress be medium in weight, than girl who wears a frock of transparent thinness but has her stays tizhtly laced. So. have your summer wardrobe made loose and com- fortable in fit. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. A dasb of lemon juice in a glass of fwater is an excellent mouth and tooth wash.

The little white crescents at the base of the finger nails can often be developed by daily soaking the fin- gers in warm, coapy water and gently pressing the soft cuticle with an or- angewood stick. Trim off any rough particles of cuticle, but do not cut any oftener than is really necessary. By daily care as directed above the growth of the cuticle will be slow. A little gfease rubbed on the nails at night will alsa help to keep the cuticle from splitting.

Additional interest in the homecom- ing of Ambassador Gerard from Ber- lin is created by the story that he is bringing a proposal from the kaiser to President Wilson that heact as media- tor in the settlement of the European war, and particularly so in view of the message which has been brought to the German ambassador in this country by a German submarine, which apparently made the trip across the ocean for some specizl purpose.

One simple style uses the net cape, which falls from the top of a rather high collar. This cape is full and the edge may be picoted or hemstitched, plain or embroidered. The high col- Jar, underneath, which shows plsm_ly through the net, is finished ap tae front with a tiny bow and long ends of narrow ribbon. To wear with the suit of taffeta and serge or the all tafteta gown, cne may make a ruff of the taffeta and white mousseline. A neckband of velvet ribbon really holds the two ruffles_together and continues In long ends down the front. The taffeta is cut with deep points at its upper edge and stitched, the front one accetuated with tiny roses. The joining of the band and the full upstanding mous- seline ruffle is invisible. Mousseline is used to make another cape collar suitable for wear over a plain blouse. several inches below the shoulders, and over it is fastened a smaller fit- ting cape, ending in deep embroidered scallops. A ribbon band at the neck connects them with an upstanding neck ruffle. . TRAINING THE TASTE. A house, to be the ideal environ- ment for a growing child, should be beautiful of course, but it should have the beauty of simplicity, and find the beauty in its surroundings without depending on elaborate furnishings. The time to begin to train is with very young children. The place is the home, If a child is brought up in a tasteful home it will unconsciously grow up with a cultivated taste. In addition, of course, it is well 10 note the child’s individuality; if it seems dull to music, painting, color, form, help develop its taste along these par- ticular lines. g - Perhaps the best chil way to traln a if the child seems rather deficient, is to let him ngs according to bis own for a little while. If a little girl gaudy colors, let hef have a of a gaudy color, which she her- chooses. She will, the chances are, soon tirs of it. If the small boy likes impossibie ornaments and hang- ings in his room, let him have them Not only will be himself dislike them soon enough, but this friends will doubtless make fun of them—and so they will become intolerable to him. Once there was a boy of 9 or 10 years who chose for the wall paper of his room a dainty design with pink background upon which there were medallions showing little French maids in all their finery. His mother remonstrated with him, telling him his choice was not boyish, that it was ba®yish, a nursery paper, or at best one for a very little girl. But he wanted that paper, and he got it. It had not been on his wall long before he realized his mistake. Of course, he had to put up with it for months, but its presence there taught him a lesson in interior decorating he never forgot. FRINGED CENTERPIECE. A rather novel idea for a large cen- terpiece s to use instéad of scallop: a narrow lace insertion on the edge and finish this with a plain fringe in- stead of the usual lace edging. It is much prettier than one would ex- centerpiece should be a coarse not nccessarily expensive, for of the imitations that are ma- many chine made are guite pretty. rrow fringe, as plain as pos- s s best to use; frequently wherce the lace joins the materials and also where the Jace and fringe meet a line of colored stitching is used. HANDBAGS. ‘There are so many handbags of vel- ve and silk and satin this autumn that we almost lose sight of the leother ones. Yet there are some very smart leather ones to be seen in the shop, and with the strictly tail- ored street su't, or for morning use, these are the best choice for the well- dressed woman. There are a good many rather small, flat bags, almost small enough to be calleq purses or pockeibooks, made with a strap through which the fingers go rather than a handle. These in patent leather or in black or brown leather, are decidediy effective for morning use. The newest thing, of course, Is the beaded bag- It matters not what ma terial js used as an excuse, a back. ground, for the bags. Sometimes it is silk, sometimes velvet. But the beads are the important point. Fringe of the beads finishes many of these bended bags, and they are made wi silk, ribbon or cords, or with silver clasps at the top. @ NEEDLEWORK NOTES. The rickrack braid is not only made in white, but also in pink and blue. The colored braid on white can often be used with effect, especially at the present time, when a bit of color is so much in vogue. Dresser and chiffonfer scarf of lin- en, with colored hems of chambray, are unusuak, but attractive. The hems are sewed to the linen, then tuned up on the right side, where the edge is cut in Greek key pattern, or scallos. The rough edges are turned in and the hem held ‘in place by rickrack raid. If you desire a quick and unusual waly to embroider the Tose desizn, work the center in solid eatin stitch, sing three colors. Outline all the her petals. You will be surprised how much character this bit of satin stitch in the center will give the de- sign. The. leaves should be in long and short stitch and the scrolls in outline, Pillow cases, too, are often decorat- ed with this braid. The hems are turned on the right side and held in place by rickrack and large initials are outlined in the center by scwing the braid over the marked outline. Sheets may be hemed to match the cases so that the decorated portion can ' be turned down over the counterpane. ART OF MAKING TASSZLS So many times the home sewer for- gete that many of the smaller trim- mings she can make herself at a great This ss particularly the case h tassels. This small trimming is stylish this year, and a great number of farcy tassels of odd \ moterials are being shown on new frocks. It is not a hard matter to make a tassel. For a silk or wool or chenille tassel wind your strand of ellk or wool around two pegs or pins a little more than twice the distance apart of the length you wish the tassel to be Gather the skein together in the mid- dle and tie it temporarily with thread. Then detatch the skein from the pegs, and wind your doubled strands just below the temporary tying. cut the douybled ends and your tassel is_complete. For beaded tassels, which are con- sidered stylish, a different method will have to be employed. The beaded strands of silk. not beaded too closely will have to be carefully measured as they cannot be cut after doubling. A large bead may be used for the head of such a tassel and each thread- ed through this large bead and all tied together in a large enough knot. Narrow ribbons can be made into tassels in the same manner as silk or ‘wool threads. Strips of leather can be treated in the same way. Even ostrich fronds, beaded, oc- caslonally are formed into tassels. Infinite care at the hands of an ama- teur might accomplish such a tassel from an old willow plume. SOMETHING TO TRY.

In one of the Italian restaurants in the London husiness district much frequented by newspaper men who have grown tired of the stody and monotonous English food of the or- dinary polite little fisure who the last month has been kept busy telling of his experiences in Gorizia. A year ago he was a private in the Italian Bersaglieri, and it was then that he went into the famous Austrian fortress under the very eyes of the enemy and had a meal in a restau- rant. “We were on a hill,” he said,’ and we could see Gorizia far below us. I should say it was about six or seven miles, and we were talkng about tne distance, when one of the Austrian prisoners we bad just taken said: “Why don’t you go down there and see Gorizia?” “We had taken a number of Aus- trians, they were decent chaps and we gave them salad and Chianti wine. One night we said ‘very well! and went down. There were seven of us and three Austrian prisoners to show the way. “It was dark and I do not know what Gorizia was like. We went to a place and had supper. It was in the poorer part of the town, but we had a very good supper there with our prisoner guides. There were no sol~ diers in the town itself then. “We were on the hill at one side ond the Austrians were behind it and on the sides. There were old pecople there and sometimes Austrian soldiers came to visit their homes there, but did not wear uniforms in the streets. The old woman of the restaurant said her son, who was an Austrfan sol- dier, had been thero earlier in the evening. We asked her to show us his clothes, which she did to prove that what she said was true, and one of us cut off the collar of his uniform with the number of his regiment on 1t Here s his story stopped. He adventure, the slipping back to their own lines and the dangers that sur- rounded them everywhere worth men- tioning, though he admitted that the visit was a good deal talked about in the regiment. A few weeks later he was wounded and now is back In his old place in the London restaurant once more. POLITICAL Mr. Hughes need hardly reply to the president’s wild assertion that the election of Hughes and Fairbanks would be followed by a declaration of war against some foreign power. The American people know Mr. Hughes as a man who will rot use the army and the navy In a war of ag- gression. . They require no assurance that Mr. Hughes will not make por- tentous threats when he has no idea of putting them into execution. Mr. Wilson has talked about what he would do and has been prolific in writing bellicose notes. But when the time for action came he did nothing, and the diplomats are well aware of his vacillation and weakness. Mr. Hughes would not plunge the country into war, as Mr. Wilson de- clares. Fairness and firmness in deal- ing with other countries do not call for the use of big guns. All respect the man who knows hjis rights and says mo more than he is prepared to do. dora, not consider the rest of the mcrllevul’ 1 ‘I'uesda; Wednesday y Yy HODGE & LOWELL Comedy Singing and Dancing Duo EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE IN HI WM.
