If it ould continue such it would have little cause to_worry now but for the past two and a half years Germany h imported no nitrates or phosphates and those are of the greatest import- ance in securing such results. Tt is not surprising therefore that it is wor- ried over the fact that its crop fiz- ures show only haif the production that was expected from the last har- vest. It is feeling the effects of the exhaustion of its corp lands while in the case of this country the short erop simply makes it plain that there must be a resort to more intensive farming, ch is entirely possible because we 4 ‘ihave the land and the means of do- ing it whife Germany is bedly handi- capped in that direction as its re- ports show. THE COST OF WAR. Right at the start, following the re- fusal to submit to the German disre- rd tor the provisions of international aw and the rights of neutral nations, this country is faced with the problem lof financing the part which it is go- ing to play in defending itself against German activities. There can be no question but what this country has the means and the resources with which to fight for a successful termi- hation of the war, to bring about the end of the Hohenzollerns and to es- tablish democracy and Itberty through. out the world, but it must declde how these are going to be assembled that the burden wiil be thoroughly and pro- perly distributed, and careful consid- eration must therefore be given to the apportionment. From the president’s address and from the policy advocated by certain leaders it is apparent that there will be a substantial increase in the fod- eral taxes. This may be done by the doubling of existing taxes, the laving of new and the broadening of other revenue producing methods. ‘There can be no question but what the present generation will bear a heavy expense but the fight which this countr: will make will not be for the pcople of today alone but for those in the future and it is therefore most cer- tain that a Ia o part of the firan aid which is nceded, both for the uses of the government and for the exten- sion of assistance to the entente pow- ers, will be secured throush large loans. The richcst nation in the world will have no trouble in securing the backing that it requircs and it should not, even though It requires a little time to determine just what mothods are going to be used to obtain it. The Bulletin has m,, circulation of any papef in Eastern Tonnecticut and tromdthras to four. times larger than that of any in Norwich.

The action of congress in declaring & state of war with Germany has been followed with deep interest by.many of the republics in the western hem-. isphere, with the result that Cuba and Panama have already taken similar action and there are indications that Brazil will do likewise. In the case of Cuba and Panama there may be no real grievance from the loss of lives or the destruction of Property but there is no question but what they understand that if Géermany will disregard the rights of the Unfted States and other neutrals it _would. have no compunction about doing. the VERMONT'S NEW MARRIAGE LAW Not only Vermont but:the whole of New England has r-ason to be grati- fied at the action which has been taken by the Gresn Mountain state in pass- g a law which makes it necessar: for those from out of the state seek ing marriage licenses to wait five days same to them whenever it would be bef o % its advantage.

Some time ago an effort was made to have the states in this section of the country adopt uniform laws not Lonly In regard to marriages but in re- gard to other matters about which there had been too much freedom. It falled to get the consideration that it deserved, but the continuance of the old laws has gradually brought them tp a realization of the excellent pur- poses that were back of it for the blocking of evil, and whenever it is again urged it will undoubtedly get proper attention. EDITORIAL NOTES. The sinking of the Parana gives in- dication that it will be the overt act methods of the 2 government. OBEY THE LAW, KEEP MUM.

THE LATEST IN LAMP SHADE! ‘While the simple shirred silk shade and that of cretonne cannot be criti- cised if they harmonize with the fur- nishing scheme of a room, they are inciined to become tiresome if ome has them in every room in the house. Thus new lampshades are appearing every now and then to vary the mc otony. Perhaps one of the prettiest styies is the paper shade made perfectly plain and round from a circular piece of heavy Japanese paper or board. These paper shades are simpiv paint ed to match the bowl or vasc of tke lampstand and are usually used w:th the pottery base. Oceasionally they appear with a wooden standard are in good taste when thus u | Brass or bronze bowl lamps are provided with these paper shades. Vhen the shade Is left in the natural parchment color the light diffused therefrom is apt to be very mellow and inviting looking. SILK UNDERWEAR Every day the number of persons ho wear silk underwear is incress- ing. There are’many women who would rather do with a smaller sized wardrobe of outer zarments in o-der to afford silk underwear. It is true that one cannot he'p have a feeling of being well dressed when one is con- sclous of the fact that the foundation for the top clothing is domposed of clean and fine underwear. But :Le woman who makes such a sacriice should bs most careful in the lgunder- ing of her silk possessions. Carless- ness in this matter will cause the va- rlous garments to wear out in quick time. Perspiration causes garments of every material to wear out quickly. but those made of silk are much more easily affected than those of other materials. Therefore. if a person would rinse out stockings and under- vests as soon as they are removed, one would find that they would woar many times longer. It takes only a few minutes to wash these things cut, nd the frequent washings mean that ery little rubbing is required, und here again there will be saving on the wear of the garments. If each artice ‘s stretched it can be worn again :re next morning. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Avoid wetting the lips, courages chapping.- Try to pass at least two hours out of doorg every day. Walk when fhere is no other recreation possible.. which en- Hang nails are painful and disagroe- able and can be avoided by rubbing a little sweet almond oil into the base of the nall at night. A small portion of alum boiled with milk and used to rinse the mouth will but a stop to an aching tooth, but do not swallow the liquid. The best manicure sold is made by putting a tablespoon of lemon iulce in a cup o fhot water. It removes stains from the fingers and nails and softens the cuticle about the nails in a sat- istactory way Massage will accomplish something in changing the shape of the mouth. Place the first finger on the upper lip Just under the nose, put th ethumt at one corner of the mouth and the sec- ond finger at the other corner. Hold the first finger stationary, drawing the mouth up into a cupid’s bow with the second finger and thumb. Treatment for bony neck:—Massage every night with a cream made of two ounces of lanolin_and one-half ounce of cocoa butter. Every morning Jash on cold water, using a big sponge for the purpose. Just before retiring take a glasstul of hot milk. Learn to breathe deepuy, go In for vocal ecul- ture and drink plenty of water Prac- tise resistance exercises with the weight at the back of the head. For a shiny or oily noss hathe it daily with camphor of aconite. Also use borax in the water or cornmical or almond meal Instead of soap. When the nose is red and shiny without be- ing oily, bathe it in tepld water and cologne, dab it dry and rub in some 00d cream or oil. Allow this to re- main for five minutes, remove most of moisture and powder with rice powder or one which you know to be Lygienically pure. CAVALIER NECKWEAR. The old problem of why people do rot wear riding clothes all the tim since in them they look the best, is apparently about to be solved. Regu- lar riding stocks are to be worn with the sports costurges of the spring for ordinary wear. These are the Ascot stocks of striped khaki-kool in the brightest of French blues, rose colors, vivid greens. Some of plain neckties of blue or green silk and checked tie parts of th eplain color combined with black. MIXING MUSTARD. ‘When mixing mustard ad a puch cach of salt-and molst sugar, and with boiling water. It will keep mol much longer and improve in flavor. USE ODDS AND ENDS.

Lavish use of stitching is seen for Gecorative purposes. LOUD COLORS PREVAIL IN SPORT COSTUMES. In general, delicate shades and dainty patterns have vanished from eport costumes. It a splash of Lrilliant color today and the most dar- ing of designs. Gone are the sprars of rosebuds and sprigs of forget-mic- nots. Instead we have big dots, wide stripes, bold checks and curious Ch®- ese, Japanese and Egyptian symbuls. The sheerest of crepes flaunt a design that used to be thought suitable orly for a sport fabric. Shaunting. so fashionable, is striped in the loudest of colors or shows a big embroidered dot. The crinkled khaki kool not satisfied with its last season’s beauty, now shows a jac quard design or the widest of farcy stripes. There are cottons with a crepe weave, and cottons and tussahs combined, splashed with dots in -ol- ors that falirly dazzle the unprotected eve. Circles, both on cottons and silks e favorite designs. A white kaakl kool shows citron colored dots, and in these dots are circles of Chinese biue or steel gray.

Use small stitches and at the end of each line leave a loop which will allow for shrinking. Make 2ach line of stitches a little longer the preceding line until you reach the center of the hole, when the number of stitches should be decreased. In this manner you wil have a diamond shaped darn. Pass your needle under and through the frayed loops of the stocking and bring them to the wrong side. If done correctly nothing should show on the right side of the sto-k- ing but the woven stitch on the darn. A USEFUL SEWING CASE. The flat Mevican baskets. one-haif of which fits down over the other half. make excellent sewing cases, as they can be t conveniently tucked un- der the and so are just right for the bit of needlework that can be worked at odd moments. or when pending the afternoon with a friend. The plain baskets are inexpensive and can be charmingly decorated. < ut out cretonne motiffs are sometimes pasted on the outside, or they are em- broidered with a bit of wool darnirs. or cross-stitch. The newest way to ornament these is by means of the silk apples, which are now used so profusely to trim baskets and bags ‘Three apples, with green leaves, would be sufficient for one baskot. New scrapa of silk or ribbon could be utilized for this, if they wer eof aar- monious colors. To make the aples cut circles of silk, gather the edge. draw y up and stuff with coiion until fhey are firm, then pull ‘he gathers together and secure with-over- hand stitches. In the center of the appie make a large black cross stitch, pulling the thread taut, so that the surface is indented. To fashion ledvos fold a double square of silk, so that the two upper corners meet, form.ng triangles. Gather across the stralght edge and & pointed leaf is the result. Arrange the leaves in groups of three and sew an apple in the center of each Froup. The appies should measure »n inch or an inch and one-haif across when finished. This is also a popular decoraton for the large sewing bags made of cretonne. STUDS AGAIN. The men who make white wash blouses in epecial designs are getting orders for finely tucked ones of ihin cambric,-with frills down the front ard buttonholes through which are to be used colored studs. The latter are of turquoise and emythst set in rims of gold. CONCERNING WOMEN. England has 3,250,000 woman work- ers.
