The situation in Rumania is much complicated by the character of the resistance which Rumania is: offering @ the two Ponts. It appears to be devoting its greatest energles to the bloel of the army under General Falkenhayn, and in such operations it Is arousing the chief hope that it can, with the assistance which is being sent it from Russia and the other al- lies, stem the tide. But there 1s a se- rious menace which cannot be over- looked in that army under General Mackensen. That has won the terri- tory which was gained by Rumania for its silence during the Balkan war. ‘Whether its purpose is now to strike at the Russlan province of Bessarabla NORWICH 'BULLETIN, MONDAY, OG//OBER 30, 1916 SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE ‘When the hot water bag starts to leak do mot throw it away, but heat clean white sand and put in into the bag.

In this campaign much is being heard from those of the democratic party who are saying “thank God for _Wilson" for keeping us out of war, and in another breath they are pointing to the prosperity which is being enjoyed by this nation, without giving consid- eration to the fact that it is the results of the very same kind of a conflict for which they are thankful that they have been saved that they are point- ing to with credit. The prosperity which prevails in this country is-due solely to the war across the water. We are benefiting from the unfortunate condition which ex- ists in Burope. Our exports in Sep- temper reached the unprecedented to- tal of $510,000000. That zave us a trade balance in our favor for the month of $345,000,000 or $200,090,000 more than a year ago during the same month. When the war broke out we were In debt to Burope. Today our foreign loans aggresate $1,665,000,000 and we haye become a credit nation. This is dttributable to nothing that the present administration has done but to our ability to supply the war needs of Europe which those coun- tries could not supply themselves. When the war stops this trade stops With it and if we are going to be able to stop the efforts which will then be made by those nations to regain the position which they formerly held, we must make it sure that we have those prineiples in force at Washinzton that will protect American industry and that can only be assured by the elec- tion of Charles E. Hughes, BUSINESS FROM THE WAR. In his address at Cincinnati Presi- dent Wilson made the statement that ths exports of e hing that goes 1o supply the armies of Europe makes only one per cent. of the total of American commerce. Whether this is 3 correct statement of the war busi- ness which this country is doing, when it is realized that in explosives alone there has been an increase from $5, §09,000 to $467,000,000, it must be re- Mlized that the increased business #hich this country is doing because of o war is not confined to supplying the demands of the Buropean armies. The nations at war have been obliged to curtail on production in many lines and confine themselves to the getting out of supplies for the armies and aavies. They are looking to this country and others to get many things besides munitions, ,such as wheat, foodstuffs, automobiles and in fact a long list of articles which would not be sent there in such quantities except for the war, and in addition to that fact other na- tions of the world which in the past have been dependent upon the nations at war for supplies of various kinds have had that trade cut off and they are looking also to the United States. " Thus it becomes apparent that the trade which the United Etates has been freceiving since the European war broke out is not trade which is confined to supplying the wants of the Buropean armies. And besides all this there is also the demands in many lines of manufac- ture which Europe formerly furnished for this country, but which we are forced to provide for ourselves. This is all business which has been cre- ~ated by the war in Europe. THE SITUATION IN RUMANIA. . Just what the result of the struggle | in Rumania is going to be is not en- clear. From the success which German generals have had in back the Rumanians and Rus- it indicates the overrunning of oddly shaped Balkan country as Belgium and Serbia were, but after the experience of tb~-al- which lies next to Rumania, thus leay- ing it to General Falkenhayn to cap- ture Bucharest remains to be seen, but all indications point to that view and thus far Rumania is devoting its cnergies to warding off the latter. King Ferdinand’s troops are making a gallant resistance against this latter danger and at all but one point are meeting with success in offensive operations, but in view of the enemy at the back door its position still re- mains precariou: SOUTH AMERICAN TRADE. How much of the foreign trade in which this country is engaged at the present time with South American countries is going to be maintained after the signing of peace across the water is highly problematical. Europe has formerly kecdived the bulk of thelr trade and Albert Hale, an at- tache of the department of com- merce who has just returned from a two years' stay in South America tells a Cleveland audience that husiness men need to be fair and honest with South American buyers. He said “The first thing necessary is to determine that you are going to treat the Ar- gentine merchant with ~exactly the same kind of fairness, honesty and consideration that you do your next door neighbor. Unfortunately for American trade there have been American manufacturers who were ready to cast off any worn out ma- terial that they had upon the South America market as being good enough for that punpose. This has brought the American manufacturer into dis- repute.” Mr. Hale shows what our short- comings are in rezard to our trade with South America and the reason why their trade is likely to go back to Burope after the war. It is informa- tion this country should profit by since it is In keeping with the claim of a recent South American visitor who said he expected that Europe would regain its lost American trade because it was prepared to handle it by well established agencies and be- cause contrary to' the Americans Eu- rope was prepared to give South America, what it wanted and did not insist upon telling it What it ought to have. A ward to the wise in this re- spect should be sufficient. . THE ALLIES AND GREECE. It has taken many months to do it, but if there has been reached the un- derstanding, which it has been re- ported from Athens was agreed to at the conference of the representatives of Greece and tlie entente powers, the way is cleared for the ending of the difficulties which have been caused by the attitude of King Constantine. According to the terms of the un- derstanding Grecce agrees to comply with the demands of Admiral Fournet, to maintain order in Athens and Pi raeus, to guarantee constitutional lib- erties to Greeks and to set up no op- Position to the recruiting for the Venizclos movement. This does not throw Greece into the war but it means progress towards that end, for as the Forward, a roy- alist organ savs, it “has opened the to a larger understanding be- tween the powers and Greece.” Such an agreement having been concluded nothing should stand in the way of the powers opening up the of- fensive from Saloniki which has been in preparation since the withdrawal from Gallipoli. That has heen delay- ed, not because Greece had not joined the allies, but because Greece was maintaining a neutrality under the guidance of their king which display- ed too much German sympathy, and which was looked upon as a danger to the operations of the allies. This being cleared up, with the probability that Greece will join the entente, it leaves nothing to prevent the allies from going ahead, and a strong of- fensive from that point now would be of inestimable value to Rumania. EDITORIAL NOTES. “The man on the corner says: Few people. ever violate the speed law in getting out of debt. It of course may be a bit cheering to Rumania when it realizes that even Serbia is gradually coming back. This would be a particularly bad time for Secretary Baker to contem- plate joining the Sons of.the Ameri- can Revolution, Dishwashing hints may have their place but they never hold the attention very long of the young ladies of the present generation. If Carranza leaves Mexico it will be because he sees that the next presi- dent of the United States will have no use for watchful waiting. Now that Villa has defeated Car- ranza’s forces, why not invite the head of the de facto government to make use of the punitive expedition? The old fashioned man who used to gather the leaves for stable bedding has been replaced by the son who runs an auto and worries only about the gasoline supply. From all indications the French are not content with keeping quiet now that they have recaptured valuable territory at Verdun. They are already planning to secure more. ‘With the allies driving at the Ger- mans from the Somme and Verdun at the same time they set their teeth in- to the Teuton lines as firmly as the Teutons have into the Rumanians. In spite of the failure at Verdun and the subsequent loss of much of thc territory no report has been issued of the recalling of any decorations awarded the German crown prince.

The cause of the little break in silk stockings often comes from running one’s hands within the stockings while rings aro on the fingers. The stones or rings catch the tiny threads and break them. If a cork is too large for a bottle in which you wish to use it, lay it one its eide and with a little board or ruler roll it under all the pressure you can put it.

When the coal-oll lamp has a tend- ency to smell badly, saturate the wick with good vinegar and allow it to dry perfectly before putting it into the lamp. It will never smell, no ma@er how small the flame. When washing new curtains you will generally find that they are full of lime. A great deal of trouble may be saved by soaking the curtains over night in water, in which a little salt has been dissolved. The ealt draws out the lime and makes the curtains easy to wash. REDUCES DOUBLE CHIN, To help reduce a double chin, prac- tice the following exercises: 1. ' Stand erect, in military position. Place the hands lightly on the hips, fingers for- ward. Drop the chin slowly on.the collarbone; then throw the head back with a quick, even movement that is not a jerk, but yet pulls all the mus- cles into’ quick play. Repeat ten times. 2. Turn the head quickly to the right till the chin is just over the right shoulder; then back again. Re- peat ten times: then turn the head to the left in the same way. Repeat ten times. Do not tire the muscles of the neck, but gradually increase ghe num- Der of exercises daily until you can practice each about fifty times without after-discomfort.

A good lotion for corns is composed of salicylic acid and collodion. Soft corns should be protected by a bit of linen placed between the toes. Sprinkle the linen with powdered tannin. Either white vaseline or honey will make a pleasant application for ten- der lips. Don't bite the lips. It is evidence of nervousness, and will keep your Cupid's bow in ragged, unlovely condition. Bathe the face every night with equal quantities of warm milk and water. It keeps the skin fair and smooth. To preserve a_good complex. ion, never wash the face with hard water. If natural soft water cannot be obtained, throw a little oatmeal in the water used. The first thing to do for corns is to relieve them of all pressure. A per- forated corn plaster may be used, or disk of white felt or chamois with a hole in the center. The feet are soak- ed in hot water and the corn picked out, but no instrument should be used whick has not been sterilized; that is, by dipping it in boiling hot water. VALUE OF BATHING. §_Authorities may vary in discussing the merits of the hot bath, the tepid bath and the cold bath, but they all agree in the abstract that bathing is necessary to good health and a prime promoter of “self-respect. The re- moval from the skin of the accumula- tion of refuse matter is the primary reason for the bath. It is essential to good health that the skin be kept in proper condition, as it automatically regulates the heat of the body. permitting it to cool off when it becomes too warm and keep- ing heat in when it becomes too cold. It assists the Jungs and kidneys in the disposal of refuse matter. When the ats it assists the kidneys. en not too heavily clothed it re- spires and helps the iungs. A bath should not be takem too near mealtime. There is a normal attrac- tion of the blood toward the stomach after eating and any interference with this and the attraction of the blood toward the surface of the hody is apt to_arrest digestion. Warm baths have a soothing effect and often are prescribed for nervous- ness. The tepid bath can do no harm. Cold baths are stimulating, but are apt to be injurious if the heart action is not strong enough to permit of a ready reaction. To some individuals the shock to the nervous system is so great that they cannot accustom themselves to cold baths. FOR CHAPPED HANDS. Careless washing and imperfect dry- g are the reasons for more red, un- sightly hands than anything else. The slightest dampness of the skin is apt to make the hands chap and _crack. Hot water should not be ueed moré than once a day at most for washing the hands, and then they should be rinsed in cold. T At night before retiring, when the 1ards have been well washed and dried, rub in a fair quantity of a good :0ld cream or camphorated ice. Then nowder them lightly with a fine tal- cum and slip on loose old gloves re- served for this purpose. This will vhiten the hands and keep them soft ind smooth. DICTATES OF FASHION, MonXey fur, which was worn last vinter, already appears on some of the Seal s a fur that will be much used l(:r trimming broadeloth models for the street. Crocheted bags in silk are one of the smart handbag models. ~ The crochet is usually done in bright colors. Beaded bags are as much used as predictions indicated. Sometimes the beads are eewed to velvet or silk, sometimes they are worked into & crocheted foundation. Charming and inexpensive is the evening frock made of white and col- ofed tulle combined. The skirt is sim- ple, being a full white skirt with the full overskirt of colored tulle. USE CHALLIS, If you are. contemplating some new interior hangings for living room or dining room or even bedroom consider challis. You don't have to select from the old-fashiored sprigged variety or even the emalil conventional design or stripe. You may now have the wildest kind of futurist challis in the most brilliant of - colorings. Japanese, these latest challis are called. Big red moons sport on skies of blue and giorious palm trees spring from sands of golden vellow. More of the challis show no such concerted de- signs, being merely blotches of bright color or brighter grounds. Of course, you can still get the de- mure little striped patterns and some quaint old-fashioned designs where a quieter patterning is desirable. Challis makes loveiy soft hangings awd has the additional value of being wash- able. SKIRT GATHERS. Autumn frocks define the natural waistline and one notes that there are many services for getting away from the conventional girdle or belt. Skirts gathered in three or four shirrings at the waist are for slender figures only. These shirrings are done in the French manner—long stitches on the right side, tiny ones on the wrong side and the stitches carefuliy under each other in the shirrings. This draws up. the material in cven folds. BOUDOIR CAP. The most charming kind of a bou- doir cap can be made from a large handkerchief. It must be a man's size and should be of finished linen. Whip to the edge of it an inch wide edse of Valenciennes lace. You may add a beading before yom apply the lace, through which bon can be run, but it is not necessary. Fold back two corners of the handkerchiefs for several inches. These fall at back and front of the cap. Now gather the other corners over (he ears and hold the gathers with a knot of ribbon. To hold the cap in place use an end of the ribbon. To hold the cap in place use an end of the ribbon as a chin- strap and snap it under the bow on the other side ri NEEDLEWCRK NOTES.

Some of the new sofa cushions, which would make admirable gifts for the boy or girl away at college, are of heavy tan linen or crash, embroidered in conventional designs in bright col- ors, and finished with wide tan cotton fringe. The autumn shops are full of inter- esting things to embroider and make. One is a baby's shoe bag, which would make a charming gift for a bab; first Christmas—a Christmas when the baby itself is not old enough to ap- preciate toys and when a gift appeals fo its mother is always ~acceptable. This bag is to hang on a door or wall, 1t is made of heavy white material and there are two sectiors, one above the other, each containing pockets for three pairs of little hoots or shoes. Embroidered letters across the top announce that it is for baby’s shoes. THE NEW WORKBAGS. The woman who goes about with a workbag on her arm is more usual than she used to be. The craze for knitting has done %much to make her so, for before knitting came in there had been many vears of comparatively little doing of needlework among us. Not that knitting is ncedlework- But knitting has brought renewed interest in handiwork of all sorts and now workbags are so lovely that nobody can resist them. A BEDROOM LIBRARY. Every one has favorites—favorite colors, “favorite songs, favorite places, favorite books, although, unfortunately advantage is not given to all to in- dulge in them. But books all can en- joy, and even the modern business man and woman, whose excuse for reading so little is that they have no time, “can secure for themselves at least thirty minutes of quiet, beneficial reading by establishing a “bedroom library.” Bring the few favorite books that one fancles to the bedroom and there enthrone them in a place of prominence and honor. As a man— or woman—is known by the company he keeps, according to the old prob- erb, 80 is he known by the books he reads, and the better the booys the more’ conspicuous a position should they enjoy. But lest this plan should malke the room disorderly or untidy, a hanging bookcase has been devised which forms a safe shelter for one's printed companions and an ornament to the wall. Let it be made of wood simllar to the bedroom set and sus- pended from an ordinary support or a picture molding if the room is fortu- nate enough. fo possess one. Two shelves would be easily sufficient for ordinary use, and it will be found that this method s both convenient and ornamental. CONCERNING WOMEN.

The list of presidents of great ed- ucational institutions who have so far enralled are: Jacob G. Schurman of Cornell, W. H. P. Faunce of PRrown, Ernest'N. Hopkins of Dartmouth, H. B. Hutchins of Michigan, Edgar F. Smith of Pennsylvania, Elmer E. Brown of New York University, John Henry McCracken of Lafayctte, the Rev.” C. A, Richmond of Union, William A Shanklin of Wesleyan, Rush Rhees of Rochester, James R. Day of Syracuse, Jarry P. Judson of Chicago, Frank Strong of Kansas, Herman C. Bumpus of Tufts, William H. Crawford of Allegheny, Rev. Albert E. Smith of Ohio Northern, Ira N. Hollis of Worcester, James A. B, Scherer of the Throop College of Technology and John A. Gregg of the Edward Waters College of Jackson- ville, Fla. ‘These nineteen names,” said Georse Brokaw Compton, National Campaign Manager of the Hughes College Lea- gue, “by no means exhaust the list of college "presidents whom wé know to be in sympathy with Governor Hughes.” Hughes Is Not For War. Following the lead of the president, the same papers that a iittle while ago were calling Hughes the kaiser’s cand- idate are now asserting that his elec- tion would mean war with Germany. In the face of his detailed treatment of the Mexican situation, they also charge that he would usg the force of the United States in the words of the president, “to produce in Mexico the kind of law and order which some investors in Mexico consider most to their advantage.” Both charses are not merely baseless, but wilfully and maliciously false. ‘There is not a shred of evidence 4n anything _that Hughes has said or done in all his life to support either of these charges. He stands before all the world as a brave, resalute, fair-minded American, unswerving and unstampedable, who would foilow the usages of nations and not essay such fantastic experiments as have made matters in Mexico o from bad to worse. It is Wilson's meddling and vacillation and his aban- donment of the first duty of the na- tion, which is insistence on the pro- tection of the lJives and properties of its citizens, guaranteed by treaties, to dabble_in Mexico’s internal affairs, that Hughes has condemned. He would not deny ®he Mexicans their “right of revclution,” by which the president sets such store, but he would insist that in the exercise of that right they refrain from rcbbing, killing and raping law-abiding America; Firm | insistence on this would bring results, | hout any war—St. Louis Globe- Democrat. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR A Significant Punch, Mr. Editor: One of the most signifi- cant punches the liquor traffic has re- ceived in many a day was given it Oct. 24th, when for the first time in the history of the church a stand on the liquor traffic was taken in the Protest- ant Episcopal general convention in session at St. Louis. The house of deputies is reported to have placed the church on record as favoring “such action in our legislative assemblies as will preserve the interests of temper- ance and the repression of the liquor traffic.” Later the subject was intro- duced for the second time in the house of deputles when Rev. G. L. Tucker of Houma, La. introduced a resolu- tion appealing to “all of the people of the church to set the example of self- control and temperance by abstaining from the use of intoxicating liquors as a beverage, especially at public affairs and social gatherings.” It is significant because of all the churches none has. been more con- servative on this question than the | Protestant Episcopal churca. The fact that at last this evil has been recog- nized and discussed in this great gen- eral convention is proof of how seri- ous a menace to the welfare of every community the liquor traffic has be- come. If the church membership of nfore than 1,080,000 and 5700 clergyvmen followed the appeal of Rev. G. L. Tucker the liquor traffic would receive a stinging blow. Why should they not? The great prerogative of all churches Is to create public sentiment for righteous living. The slogan of today is efficiency. It has been emphasized in all the countries where this wicked war rages by & ban placed upon alco- " STOMACH UPSET?

THE COMFORT POWDER 00.. Boston, Mazs. holic drinks. Why? Becausc they de- Trease the efficiency of men in all walks of life. This is one of the sreatest lessons this war has to give us—the unrighteousness of public and social use of alcoholic drinks, The message of Christ's cfiurch is to sep- arate the good from the evil and to ‘maintain it by daily living. Shakespeare wisely said: “Ignorance is the curse of God; knowledge the Wwing whereby we fly to heaven." It is imperative today that all men and women know the poisonous nature of alcohiol and where can_this, know- legde be more potently taught than from the thousands of pulpits open every Sunday? By whom can the evil be more forcibly condemned than by Christian men and women who are supposably walking in,the path of righteousness? This recognition of the necessity of the suppressicn of the liquor trafic by the Protestant Episcopal general convention is timely and in accord with the great weight of evidence which both science and experience of life have accumulated in judgment against it. “The ethlcs and religion which will tolerate alcoholism is the ethics and religion of death. For not only is alcoholism the cause of numerous dis- cases. it leads directly and_indirectly to ruin” said Prof. T. G. Masarky of Prague. Is it not marvelous that soclety in general tolerates a law which is sup- posed to protect it against an evil, but in reality is used to foster and protect a traffic by which humanity i de- graded and all the forces of wice and violence are strengthened? This wonder grows upon me day by day as I see men staggering tarough our streets, all trfices of a Christian manhood biptted out of their faces. Let us hope and pray that the dis- cussions and recognitions of this wide- spread evil by the Protestant Episco- pal convention may not end in words, but pass into concrete action and this great body of clérgymen and com- municants may become a mighty re- ligious and ethical force In suppress- ing an evil which is greater in its destructive force than war itself. MARINDA C. BUTLER ROBINSON. Danielson, Oct. 26, 1916. - THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Socioty Russia’s Arctic Ports—The recent activity of German submarines in waters to the north of Norway revives interest in Russia’s Arctic and White Sea ports, all save one of which will within a few weeks be closed to navi- gation until late next spring when the ice blockade will be broken once more by that brief but most welcome vis- itor to North Russia, the wdrm sum- mer sun,” says a war geography bul- letin of the National Geographic So- ciety in describing two of the Furo- pean ports through which, in addition to the White Sea metropolis of Arch- angel, the Czars kingdom maintains communication with the outside world in spite of the war-bovnd Baltic and the impenetrable Dardanelles. “Of the half a score of fishing vil- lages that eling to the frings of the Arctic Circle in European Russia,” continues the lbulletin, “one of the most interesting is Yekaterina, or Catharine’s Harbour, 175 miles within the Circle, yet having an ice-free port the year round, thanks to the warm currents of the Atlantic which swee™ around the North Cape of Norway.

The harbor is a Jittle inore than a mile long and from 400 to 600 feet wide, with from 10 to 15 fathoms of water. The great- est drawback to its development is the fact that the cliffs come to the water's very edge, and practically no room is left for the construction of warehouses. “The village of Kem, 180 miles west of Archangel, has 2,00 g:ople, most of whom are engaged in Hshing for herring, salmon and navago. The shoals of herring in this portion of the White Sea ofter are so great that fishermen allow their oars to rest on the congested massos. T@e aryual catch in five villages of this section amounts to 15.000,000 herring, and the average price for ‘the fish, before they are smoked or salted, is from 25 cents to 75 cents a thousand. The navago is a species of fish which is not shipped but is consumed by the villagers. K is so easily caught that this part of the fishing industry is given over to the children who use bait tled to a string, without hooks. The baited line is dropped through o hole in the ice and it is seized immediately by the ravenous navago. Frequently more than one fish makes a strike for the same bait and the disappointed one seizes the tail of the successful victim as it is being drawn to the surface. Thus t time. times. “The season for the salmon catch is from May to November, and the price for this species is 70 cents per hundred pounds. “Several varieties of fish wifich are not considered edible by the inhabi- tants are caught in great quantities, dried in the sun, and used e rorage for_cattle ing the winter months. “In this scemingly primitive region the sawmills whi-h dot the shores are practically all lighted by electricity. These mills, which furnish the timber for the shipbuilding operations of the long winter months, when fishing is impossible, have $1,000,000 acres of forest from which to securu tucer logs. “One of the oldest custom§ of this o fish are landed at the same Each bit of bait is used many region is the manner in_ which the natives lLave trained wild ducks to play the role of the American hen.

They -wmay have excellent reasons for leaving the service, but coming on the heels of their return from the border it might seem that the freal soldier's life probably was not to their liking. There is a differ- ence between parade soldiers and fighting men—Hartford Post. Waterbury's police chief has asked for a considerable additional number of policemen and certainly jt was evi- dent vesterday when the crowd took possession of the situation about the railroad station that somcthing was missing. Not only is there need for several more policemen, but also for considerable training of the police in the handling of crowds by an experi- enced drillmaster, to be imported if necessary. It would be weil worth while aiso to have mounted police available for duty on such occasions, for they are especially successful in the management of crowds along & line of march. Waterbury is srowing and there will be many occusions for the use of such police improvements in the vears just ahead. The city fathers ~should plan wisely.—Water- bury Republican.
