The uncertainty which existed as to where the retiring Germans intend- ed to make their stand has been dis- pelled by the apparent halting of the reireat as indicated by the stiff re- sistance which the allies are encoun- tering along the so called Hindenburg line, from a polnt east 9f Arras through St. Quentin, La Fere and Laon. And thus far it does not ap- pear that the British and French have been led into a trap or enticed on to & new battlefield which would be more favorable for the German forces. Though the army which has evacu ated a large section of northern France has undoubtedly taken a pos! tion which is preferable to the water soaked and muddy trenches which they formerly held, it is not indicated from the progress which the allies are still making that they are going to be able to maintaln that any more suc- cessfully than their formcr line where they had been so well grounded for the past two vears. ‘The French are getting the benefii of their rapid pursuit. They have pushed a wedge into the German line to the south of St. Quentin and in the fighting which has taker place around La Fere they have captured two of the forts which protect that stronghold., The British may not have coverea so/much zround but they are giving the Germans no rest. From all Indications, however, it is at the line where they are now sta- tioned rather than at the Belgian bor- der that the German army intends to try conclusions, but it remains to be seen whether it can hold 1t and whether it will not be forced to con- tinue its retreat even to Belgium and beyond. ENOUGH CITY COURT OFFICIALS, people of Norwich cannot fail to interested in the bil which orig- inated in the judiciary committee of the general assembly providing for an assistant prosecutor and an assistapt @elerk for the city court. It may be intended that one person shall fill both pesitions at a salary of $300 a yvear and thus provide another appoinfive affice for the judge of the court ts fill. This matter is brought up .and a Rearing set for Tuesday, after it had been reported by the committee that it had completed its hearings and mothing further in that line remains upon the assignment fist. It is even claimed that this bill providing for an imcrease of the salaried officers is be- ing presonted because it is found that Norwich doesn’t have as many as oth- er cities and that it ought to be taken care of in this respect. The generosity of such action is almost beyond be- lief. But strange as it may seem the de- mand for the new official does not come from the city, or if it does, it dees not appear on the surface. Cer- tainly ne measure asking for it came from the city, and that being the case Jt behooves the people of this city to have such representation at the hear- Ing that there will be no question as to where the municipality stands in regard to this change. And it is not too much to expect that the wishes of Norwich will get some considera- tion in this matter. Thers appears to be about as much demand for an as- sistant prosecutor and clerk as there does for a salaried assistant proba- tion officer or janitor. Mayor Brown's suggestion. in this connection would meet all requirements. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Ex- perience teaches that it is all stage scenery along the road te ruln. RELIEF WORK IN BELGIUM. Conditions are in such shape be- tween this country and Germany, which is at present directing affairs in Belglum, and northern France, that it is advisable for those who are di- recting the work of the American com- mission for the relief of the war steicken people in those regions to return to this country. Such a step has Dgen considered likely for some tifme. But this need not and does not mear that the relief work will be broughi to an end. The people who have been assisted are no better able to depen their own resources today than have been in the past. Thex are entirely,dependent upon the assistance “which they get from the outside in the :“unfumuu-ndwheuuhml- jzed that thers are soven and a half milfion people in Belgium alone whose sustenance comeq from the food that . s imported info the country, it can bé readily appreciated that there can be 1o thought of abandoning this im- ‘portant service, but rather should _theére be 4 -greater interest aroused “#nd more funds supblied for the wor- ihy cause.

Of course every advance In the price of foodstuffs at the present time can be attributed to the rallroad brother- hoods. From all indfcations there are sev- cral things which are causing Ger- many to devote new thought to a ery for peace. = Nicholas must realize by this time that instead of being the one to put doom in the duma he brought in down upon his own head. Revoiutions as a usual thing are nod looked upon with approval, but Russia has shown that there are times when they are needed for the best interests of a country. Ambassador Gerard is surprised on his return to find that this country has made no greater preparations for war than it has, but his feelings are no different than a lot of other peo- ple’s. e Samuel Gompers denounces the su- preme court decision resarding the Adamson law. Now the supreme court ought to lie down and roll over just to see that this man gets mfiflffl he wants.

In packing away winter clothing or house furnishings the chief thing to remember is to have everything well cleaned. Beat out the dust-take out the spots, shake out the wrinkies. Let them hang in the bot sun for a day if possible. Turn the 'pockets of gar- ments wrong side out. Where heavy, deep piied rugs are used in bedrooms the substitution of rag rugs for summer gives an air of daintiness. Biankets must be cleaned before they are put away. If you lack the conven- ience of cedar chests, use the moth proof cases which come for the pur-. pose. Or, If it is more convenient, make cases for yourself by wrapping the blankets in paper and tightly fas- tening the ends 8o there is no chgnce of the moth finding entrance. me housekeepers have great faith in tur- pentine as a moth enemy. They dip bunches .of cotton in it and lay be- tween the folds of blankets or gar- ments in the same manner as moth balls are used. TO BEAT EGGS. If you rinse a plate with cold water before breaking eggs on it add to them a pinch of salt and then stand where therc is a current of air, you will have no ditficulty in beating them to froth. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Bruise thoroughly one handful of green sage leaves, boil them in a gill of vinegar for ten minutes: apply to the spcained t as a poultice be- tween folded muslin. Rest the joint as much as possible. Camphor is excellent for colds and should be taken in this manner: - A drop or two of the camphor should be dropped on a lump of sugar which shonld be placed in a smail wine glassful of water and a teaspoonful of this mixture taken cvery two hours. Always use a pure soap and rinse ali the €oap off: the hands with clear water, dry them thoroughly and rub in the misture given below: Equal parts of household ammonia. lemon julce and olivc oil. Keep a bottle of this on your washstand and use it whenever necessa When the scalp is hard and tight and the haic britte and lusterless, one of the most valuable aids in re- storing the healthy tone of the scalp is made by blending carefully heef marrow with a_tablespoonful of good olive oil. This tonic will not be foun any more greasy or objectionable than any similar preparation contain- ing oilg or grease. Small partipgs of the halr shou!d be made all over the scalp, then anoint the finger tips and apply directly to the scalp, rubbing it in thoroughiy. If the calf of your Umbs needs de- veloping try the following exercise: Stand_erect, raised on your toes and with Rands clasped at the waist. Then smartly swing the right foot back and upward as if you were trying to kick ourself with the heel. Assume the t position again and repeat with the ieft foot. With a little practice you will actuaily perform the Kicking. Al- ternate. first right, then deft, in quick- Iy active movements, never however, allowing the heel of either foot to sink to the floor, using only the toes for support. This exercise is splendid for the calves and will generally “lim- ber up” the knee joints. THE RIGHT WAY TO APPLY POWDER. Applying fac powder has become an art and there isn’t one woman in 2 hundred who understands it pro- perly. She either put on too much or not enough. Usually she uses too mucn or fot enough. Usuafly she uses too much and then does not know how to remove it so that the effect re- mains without the powder showing. First have the face perfectly clean and choose a powder that. suits the tint of the natural ekin. Powders are offered In six distinct shades. After these important points have been ob- served dust the powder over the face with a generous hand. using a piece of absorbent cotton in preference to a. powder puff. This is more sanitary 2and better for the skin. Do not forget to powder the neck, ears and eyelids. When they are lected the face 100ks queer and the eyelids become too prominent. Then with the finger tips gently manipulate the face, rub- bing the powder in, not brushing it off, as the ignorant womaen will do. Rub unider the eves and up close to the hair and for the eyeb: and evelashes use a small brush. face will Jook smooth and the will remain on a long time if this method g - H H ] 1 = S zfié i ¥ { i ‘Anotber necessity for the modern pockets. the of elaborateness to an otherwise conventional skirt.

The woman who prefers her hat plain and her veil ornamental has her desire granted this season. Many of the new vells have a large, beaded medallion which can be ci Justed over the right spot plain hat. NEEDLEWORK NOTES. Substantial hangers can be made for nightgowns, petticoats, blouses and other clothes by crocheting a short chain at the proper length. Use snap fasteners to fasten baby’ rompers. They will save time and pa- tience. Use them also on the shou:der fastenings of the infants’ petticoats. The snap fasteners are most helpful in attaching the Inevitable white col- lar to the dark serge or. silk _dress. ‘They obviate any struggling to get the collar into proper condition. The bungalow housewife will wel- come the gift of some envelope kitchen holders. They are six and one-half inches square, of unbleached muslin embroidered in block of bright colors —red, blue and green, arranged In an artistic border. On the back the hold- er opens with an envelope flap that ia fastened with a button and loop and inside is slipped a pad of Canton flannel. The squares work up auick- Iy in coarse floss and the holders are easily washed and are a gay touch for the kitchen. LATTICEWORK SLEEVES. New evening gowns from Paris have an attractive method of draping the arm. It is a modification of the style that was considered smart in the fif- teenth century. Two streamers of tulle arc put into the under armhole, brought first over the top of the arm and crossed, and continue to wrap the arm in this latticework fashion to the wrist. Not only does this fashion appeal to the woman who is having a new eve- ning gown made, but to thc woman who would like to give a new touch to an old frock. The tulle should be the same eolor as the bodice. If one likes the glitter of jeweiry, smail orn- aments of crystal can be put at each intersection of the tulle, on top of the arm. It is always well to mark the wrist with a colored crystal of some kind, or even a bracelet. The medieval idea of covering the arms for the evening remains in high fashion. Each designer has invented a peculiar trick and many women have thought out schemes for themselves. here is the cape of chiffon or tulle that falls over the to the knuckles of the hand and is sdmetimes held in place by a ring on the finger. There are long . fifteenth century sleeves that enugly fit the arm from shouider to wrist. with a wide flare over the hand. These are made of bullion tissue or gold or silver iace, and the most effective ones are en- crusted with colored crystals. KEEPING DINNER WARM. A great many housewives sigh for a sure enough method of “keeping din- ner warm” for father. The best way, if your gaé range has no warming oven, It to set the dish In hot water. Placing a cookad artcle in the oven or over an asbestos mat dries it up, but @ large shallow pan of water set over the simmering burner or in the oven is a _safe receptacls for several disbes of food and will keep them warm without drying them. 3 CONCERNING WOMEN. Bridgeport (Conn.) munition factor- ies employ more than 4,000 women. Mrs. Helen K. Holmes is the only woman etock broker in Wall street. The empress of Russia is said to be the finest royal singer in the world. The New York Bar association has decided to admit women as members. Over 200,000 women in Canada are working in some way to aid in war. States employ more than 100,000 womer. ’ A LEFT-OVER. The coffee left from breakfast may be utilized for coffee gelatin.

Mr. Editor: I see Mr. Bernes an- nounces in the Evening Record that Tie iezislature of which he is a mem- ber is very much disturbed lest the city court of Norwich may not be on an’ equality with other cities so far as quantity of its city court officials is cerned and they have decided that we must have morc officials. T have discovered, according to his statement that our taxpayers must be burdened with the salary of more court officials to the tune of $300 and up- ward. The present system has worked very satisfactorily for many vears. The clerk who zets a very substantial sai- ary has as I am informed in the past paid_an assistant to his place when he has been obliged to be absent. 1 am informed also that tha present sal- ary of clerk is much larger than it was formerly. No, this explanation of Judse Barnes 1s_all rot. The true situation fs this. If this Dbill passes Judge Barnes will have two more appointments to make which will perhaps strengthen hls reappoint- ment to the city judmeship two vears from now. It is a fine game put up by him and Albert (Bailey) as he calls his friend and helper. What one wants, they both need and want. This would' work out for Clerk and Repre- sentative Pailey two vears from now, when he will be a candidate again for representative or senator (few die and none decline) and he will them, if S0 elected, be drawing two salaries at one and the same time with no expense on his part for the supply of a city court clerk for about five months. This 1S the mouse in the meal. If Barnes and Balley do noj ask for this bill to be passed. one word from them will kil ft. Of course Mr. Back of Killingly introduced this bill by re- quest of someone and it is not dAiff- cult to guess who requested it. Vot- ers, stop, look and listen and ses what happens. BILL THE THIRD.

From the columns of your paper I gained my first knowl. edge of the bill now before the legis lature to increase the pumber of ¢ity court officials, and cofisequently" th cost of that branch of municipai gov- ernment. Whatever may have been the city court’s return to the city treasury un- der the fee system, if Senator Barnes will refer to pages 517 and 51§ of the Journai of the Common Council for the vear 1913-14, pames 479 and 450, of the Journal for 1914-15, and pages 289 and 380, of the Journal for 1915- half $9,654.11, and the disbursements on its account ’total $11;468.35, a deficit for the iast three years of $1,814.2 average of more than $500 per For the first nine months of present year the reccipts are making a better showing, but three months are yet to be recorded. The proposed bill would inerease the salary list and coussquently the an- nual deficit and the sam the taxpay- ers must provide for court's main- tenance. As a taxpayer and a m:om- ber of the city government I am op- posed to the bill and trust that all who feel as I do will make ths fact known to our senator and representativ GUY B. z A Norwich, Conn., March 24, H | The Logic of the Poor Taxpaver. |, M- Bditor: 1 have noticed that ever since his honor, the mayor, has be- come the head of the city of Norwich, he likes to cat cveryone’s pay down I can remember the time when we had the very best of men serve the city as miayor without compensation. 1 would Jike to Sec the mayor cui his own salary first. I have seen the sal- ary of the milk inspector’cut down and teiephoncs have boen taken out from different departments. Now Mr. Editor, I am a poor tax- payer mpself, and I have a hard job seraping together enous money ~to pay my city and town taxes but. in times when eversthing ts so high and when every laboring man Is getting his pay raised, the pay of an office- holder is cut down, T believe If we pui men into office to serve us, we should pay them emoush to live on.

They should be well paid for the representative 4s neglecting _his oth siness and putting in a whole weeic's time in Hartford and what d they get? Three hundred dollars year. I understand the clerk of the po- o to pay someone to act as clerk while he is in Hartford representing the town of Norwieh, besides what from the practice at law.
