The proclamation which has been tssued by Governor Holcomb directing that Tuesdav of this week be aside as fire prevention day is in keeping with a movement whith has been underway throughout the coun- try for some time. It is aimed at the overcoming of carelessness and it is in- tended to focus attention of the peo- ple upon the need of checking the fire losses of the country and bringing hem to the realization of the part which th& therewith, At all times is there a need of ®iv- ing the closest attenticn te this mat- ter. The annual waste through fire: running-way up into the millions, ought not ta exist. It is much granter in this country than in the countries of Burope during noj it is important that every should be brought into play in an ef- fort to reduce it. When the governor peints out that a recent analysis of the fire causes in Ccnnecticut by the National Bo: of Fire Underwriters shows 32.3 per cent. to have been pre- ventable, 37.9 per cent. partly prevent- able, and 29.8 per cent. unknown it can be appreciated that there is plen- ty of work to be dene towards the overcoming of these preventable and partly preventable fires. Such work does not all lie in one direction. There are many ways in which it can be accomplished but there needs in the first place ta he a therough understanding of the condi- tions and following a realization of the neglh"m, 2 dstermination upon the part of ipdividuals to assumre the responsibility, be It little or be it large. The observance of a fire prevention day will not in itself stop fires, but it wilt call attention to the duty which devolves upon the individual and hv such impress them with the import- ance of conserving our resources by preventinz fires through protective Mmeasures everv day in the vear. RAISING THE LOAN. Now that fizures are available, and will be from dav to day, which show how Norwich is responding to the 2ppeal for subscriptions to the sco- ond Libertv Inan greater interest will be taken In this effort to supply the movernment with the necessary funds for the prosecution of the war. According to the allotment the min- imum smount wanted in this eity Is 8752000, and it is being sought by the 7th. That means that there are 23 davs for recelving subscriptions by elim!rating Sundays and the holids and to secure that amount there should e a daily average of practically $33,- 920. The maximum sum fixed for this city is $1,250,000 which means an ave- 1age for each of the 23 days of a trifle over $34000. With a realization of what is aimead at here, the subscriptions Which have already been received.and the time in which the loan is to be floated, it can he =een that there is plenty to be done. But Norwich Is not lacking in loyalty and patriotism. It has shown that in many ways. its share of the first loan and there is every reason to believe that it will do the same thing on this occasion. It is a time, however. when people must do their part. There iz no reason for waiting to be asked to subscribe. The Invitation i{s general and it applles to sll. it is time that everyone should feel Dis responsibility in the matter. Evervone has an interest in the cause. n the army and navy that has been rent, in the raising, training and send- ng of a still greater army and navy and the providing of the necessary supplies, and that interest should be manifested by backing it up with the necessary financial support. THE TRAVEL ALLOWANCE. Just at this time when congress has adjourned and the members have left or are ahout to leave for their homes, it is in xeeping with past experfences that criticism is offered of the travel allowance of 20 cents a mile which Zces to every member. This is of course to take eare of his expenses in getting to and from Washington but #t is to be noted at the same time that there is no danger but what he will be able to meet the railroad tel! 2nd then have a comfortable sum left, The farther he is away frem the na- :jonal eapital the iarzer is his nest a8, and this is of course in addition there any reason the Pacific coast nothing” of doling eut this expense meneéy is wrang. Thete 1s no objection to the payment of the legitimate nses but when it comes to ‘handing ' them, something on ‘the side it is- wrong. The sum involved 18 not &olossal but It makés little aif- ference what the sise is it could be put to much better use by the gov- ernment just mow. or in fact at any iime. Congress could not be expected to stand: for any sueh thing if anyone else was involved, but it is a difficult proposition tryinx to get congress to raform - fiself. None Is so °biind as those. who don’t want to. see. MEETING AVIATION NEEDS. Not oniy is there satisfactory prog- ress being’ made toward the develop- ment 2 much mere powerful fleet o? -d yers than the country has |j aver possessea. but the - statement H which ie made by the secrétary of war to the effect that the contracts have all besn let for the turning out of a fleet of 20,000 airplanes, ranging oI the way from the light machine built for speed to the big planes used for bombing purposes, shows the' this country not only attaches due import- ance to this branch of the army and ravy but that it is speeding wp the preduction .in . boellu with the de- mand. According to th- preparations evers factor is being congidered and opera- tions are being 0 regulated that. the construction of <the motora, and planes, the wetting - together of the supplies ana the training of the avia- tors are all working alapg in unizon. Most of the machines will be built here but about 5000 will be construct- ©d abroad where many of the aviators already are either in the service or preparing for it. This gives good supp-rt for the be- lef that due copsideration is given to the value of the aviatfon corps and of having yp to the min- ute maehines for rendering the ser- s required of the eves of set can play in conneclicnl al periods, and | neutra agency | the greatest assistance to the armi‘s cperating across the water and thev |and are bound to be a ']l greater factor in the future eo that the preparations which are being made, though on a vast seale, are only what the situation calis for. STIFFENING THE EMBARGO. A thoroush study of the/matter ¢f keeping suppliea away from Germany nas Deen mede by this countr: bas Dbeen earried on in cooperation with Fngland and the result i= that both «f these countries haye reachzd an agreement that goods which have formerly heen sent to the ncrthern , and which there is good rea- son for believing have been sent to j Germanv from ihose countries, will henceforth be shut off. Tt is & war measure pure and simple and aimed selely at denying to the cnemy those things over which thev have control. There is no disposition to harm naeutrals, when they are con- ducting themselves as neutrals should, but ‘there is 2 firm determination that when neutrals dispose. of. thair sup- 's to a beliigerent that is fichting this country ‘the United States is gzo- ing to prevent the shipping of such goods to the neutrals as they may heed to take cara of their own wanis. Frem the wav in which this countrs icoks at the maiter it is the first duty of e neutral to look out for its own wants. If it is so nemligent of. itself, or so greedy for-the high prices which the belligerent paye that it denies it- self of necessities, the fault Nes with the neutral and not with other bdl- ligerent nations from which ‘it hopes to make up the defieienc Thus the new order, prohibiting thé sale of coal to neutral ships except that they have government approval, is simply a matter of self protection. It is a measure which is necessary Tt oversubscribed | in ‘order to extend the control over such trade, and the neutrals must re- alize that there is nd ame- to blame for it but themselves, harring Ger- many. . EDITORIAL NOTES. ; The coal men may be all at gea, hut they will never know héw the would- be consumer feels unless they head for the North Pole, The man ‘on the corner sa; After leoking over the new revenue bill, the average man doean't have to do any worrying about the surtaxes. = The iftarease in the postage rates will doubtless mean a cutting down of a lat of material which is adding congestion to the waste baskets daily. If people’s interest in the war was manifested by the number of Liberty bonds purchased it wouldn't take a month to dispose of the p"esant is- sue, When the grand vizier of Turkey offers as his epinion that the end is approaching, it is passible that he has been comparing notes with Aus- tria. Germany is wasting &8s much life in its futile attempt to hold back the British in Flanders as it did in try- ing to darive d\e French out of Ver- aun. Fyom all indications General Cador- na intends to strike Austria es hard as he can now, without giving it any chance to recuperate from past chas-. tisements. It has taken seme time to get the British - government to censent to re- orisal raida, but .the credit for the change of view cen be charged entire- iy to Germany. Those who can make the big as well as those who ean maké the amall subscriptions are realising that there Is an opportunity for them to do their part in eonnection wm: the Liberty loan.

Both pewder and rouge, but partic- ularly the latter are harmful to the skin unless the best makes are used, and unless vou know how to apply them they make you Imok ridiculous ! Never use a instead of beautiful. liquid rouge, which eats into the lki‘r:' nor a grease which you mus: rub well. The least harnrful is the pow- der rouge, which can be dusted on with littie dad. One of the first cares of every wo- l'lln who does her own housework should be her hands. Extra pains should be taken by her that exposure and harmful soaps shall not roughen or reddeéen them. She can have her hands continuously in soapsuds with- out injury to the skin if the hanls are dipped in vinegar or lemon juice immediately after. The acid de- streys the corrosive effects of the al- kall and make the hands soft and white. DICTATES OF FASHION. w stitches of embroidery are ar- ranged to imitate carpet weaving. Two belts, rather narrow, are sup- planting the broad eingle beit, which has been pepular for so lon' on one- plece frocks. .
