[YRAERR YT TEvE ) ‘been comt: #Right is More Precious than Peate” —_— e | VIOLATIONS CALL FOR PENAL- TiES. Indications point very strongly to the fact that there are individvals, firms and corporations who have got- ten the impression that the regula- tions which have been put forth by the food admimistration are for all others but them. They seem to think, according to their actions, that they can continue to go on doing business just as they always have beem doing ‘whether they meet the requirements or not. It is such instances.as these which make the enforcement of the regu- lations necessary. Those who feel that they can do as they please have zot to be made to realize the com- trary. Thus when merchants by their : methods contribute to large wastage, when big provisions dealers disregard the law and warnings, as in the case of Swift & Co. and its egg business, and when bakers persist in making their breag without using the speci- fied amount of substitute for flour as has been found to be the case. with a half dozen bakers in New York, there is nothing to do but to take away privilege sof doing business. to mean a loss which bered so.that when al- lowed ume business there will be a different disposition manifested. It should a¥o have the proper ef- fect upon any others who may be in- clined in the same direction as those byt who may not as yet have been fond out. Laws and reg- ulations are made that all should obey them. Those who show their defiance must expect to pay the penalty and #8 is only throush imposing the penalty wherever there is a violation that the lesson of respect is going to be properly taught. THE SANATORIUM AT EAST LYME From all accounts the town of Fast Lyme is ing itself a lot of need- less worry over the effects of the lo- cation of the state sanatorium in that town for the treatment of hone and [3 ar tuberculosis in children. It is indicated that the people of that town and vicinity fear that because of the purchase of the White Beach hote!. for such use the heaith condi tions are gong to suffer, but there are the best of reasoms for believing that they are going to be happily disap- pointed for they will fing that it will be far better to have the many cases which will be ultimately sent there guarded under the careful restrictions which are enforced in such instftu- tions than it would be to have a sin- gle case there without any sanitary safeguards, Experience shows that such cases ean be given much more satisfactory treatment at the seashore than else- where. The patients will not be al- fowed 40 go about at will without ob- gerving the necessary restrictions. ¥ possible measure will be taken 10 not only restore the health of those under treatment but to protect others from having the disease communicated to them through such patients. That is one of the great objects of such a sanatorfum. It is for prevention as well as a cure or help, as has been fally demonstrated in this city where a sagatorium has been located for a numBer of years, and where there were those, at the time its location here was being sought, who greatly fearea the consequences of so many tubercular patients. East Lyme it is believed will find this institution a de- cided benefit to the town instead of being a detriment. FAWLED TO FOOL THE ALLIES. It was not to be supposed that the letter which has been made publie by _ the French government from Emperor Charles of Austro-Hungary had been communicated to the other ma- tlons of the allies.

OREGON'S EXAMPLE. From coast to coast and boundary to boundary every state is forced to acknowledge the magnificent example which has been furnished by Oregon in being the fipst to raise its ,quota in the third Liberty bond campaign. It would be most gratifying if there had been closer rivalry in obtaining that honor, although it ds asserted that there are others which are not going to be faf behind. Oregon has unquestionably profited from its experiences,in the two pre- vious campaigns. It has by no means been a siacker in providing funds for the maintenance of the army and the war preparations, but it failed to get the proper start. Like others it didn’t recognize the necessity of getting down to business at the opening and hustling up the contributions. The result was that as the time for clos- ing the subseriptions approached it found jtself far from the goal and it was necessary to do much speeding up in order to go over the mark. It did it nevertheless but it decided not to be caught that way again as the accomplishment in the past week tully shows. Oregon has recognized the necessity of giving its full attention to it when it has such a task at hamd. It is therefore a2 magnificent example to set before the country and one which will donbtless spur on the other states and speed them along in their efforts. This determination to get results and to get them early is ome which can extend far beyond the loan campaign. It is the spirit that should be back of tife whole country. in every line of ef- fort and the spirit that will bring succesg, EDITORIAL NOTES. ‘The hopes of a united Ireland are just as visionary as they always have been. g The only surprise in conmection with the adoption of the red flag by the Moscow govermment is that it ‘wasn't white or yellow. The kaiser is certainly bending every effort to strike the decisive blow befors America can throw its full strength into the conflict. The man on the cormer says: Though it sheuid be the first, self control is too eften the Iast thing which some people attempt to secure. Every day’s delay in stamping out sedition, in hageling over the draft changes and ofher needed legislation is simply giving the enemy just that much help. —e It you cannot amswer the question “Have you bought your Liberty bond?” in the affirmative, you cer- tainly should be able o s2y yes when asked if you are going to. = The impression prevails that there will be more respect for the automo- bile laws on the highways of the state on Sunday than there has been for some time. There’s a reason. Lenine threatens war because Ja- pan and others are willing to help Russia, but welcomes the Germaniza- tion of a great big slice of Russian territory and a third of its population without resentment. In keeping with the cry of the one cent papers, which have recently gone to &wo cents, for the coining of a two cent ‘piece, the conductors on the trolley lines where new rates have gone into effect will be demanding a six cent coin. The decision of the kaiser to go to may be due to the fact that he has heard about the utilization of the Jong range gun to kill eight chick- ens in Paris without a chance of his getting there for dinner. Oregon raised its allotment in the Liberty bond issue within a week.

The piitty will fill the space which will remain open and be pressed out where it is not needed, while the excess is easily removed with a knife.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY. ‘The average heaithy person has Nt- tle to fear from draughts, but the aged, enfeebled, infants and_persons especially susceptible must be pro- tected from them. 5 Sleep with the bedroom window wide open. 'The old supersition that night air is unhealthy, even for an invalid, is entirely false. On the con- trary, night olr, especially in large citits, is purer and better than day air because it contains less dust and fewer microbes. To get the best ven- tilation have the window open at both top and bottom. It is a mistake to euppese that a healthy complexion needs no care. It needs a good deal of care, in order to keep it healthy. A daily facial bath of soap and water is mot enough, even to keep the skin clear, if one lives in a big city, where sot and dirt abound, for sogp and water de not reach the inner pores, and unless these are treated to a cleansing with cold cream, they will become ‘clogged in short order. So the daily bath of cold cream or some other cleansing property s just as necessary to a healthy, clean condition as soap and water. Here fs a home-made remedy which may work a cure of taken at the he- ginning of an attack of headacne: Cut a lemon in half and squeeze its juice into a tumbler. Add a few—a very few—grains of sugar, and fill up the glass with cold water. FYIl it, that is, about threé-quarters full. Now stir into. this lemon mixture half an egzspoonful of ordinary baking seda. This will fizz up, of course, and the draft must be ewallowed while effer- vescing. If ome dose fails to arrest the attack, repeat it three hours after. This mixture, taken fasting the first thing in the morning. will do much to seftle the stomach after a sick head- ache, and will prevent recurrence for some time. This kitchen physic has been found to prevail when phenacetin and all other nerve quieters have gig- maily failed. SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS. Grace is largely an attitude of mind, a condition of conmsciousness, with a slight amount of training added. The self-conscious woman is seldom graceful, and the ungracious woman is invariably awkward. Yet grace ig an all important acquisition, for the woman who possesses it fs often as attractive as one of noted beauty. Every movement must be in proportion to “the time, the place and the girl” Grace is the full har- monizing of expression with ease. woman is graceful. tired one is one should hold. omeself up in eittmg and walking and stand- ing, not stiffly, but easily. the cHest is drawn in.

As a rule coats are belted, Coats and dresses have yokes. Blouses are wortf outside skirts. All shades of pink are prorfinent. * A large hat should be set straight on the head. ‘There will be & great deal of white used, such as silks, jersey and wool- stuffs. The sports coat so dear to the heart only a few months ago is almost for- gotten. There is a hat for every style of face, and both large end emall hats are fashionable.

These quilty Japanese vests which so many women like to slip under their coats in cold weather now come with satin outside and habutai silk in- side. “Some have sleeyes, and some haven't. The long, shawl shaped collar, is particularly fashionable and among the new pieces is one style of Geora- ette crepe in this popular shape. Real lace trimming and a touch of hand embroidery made it quite lovely. TO REVIVE CORKS. After corks have been used a while they sometimes become so compressed thhat the contents of the bottle leak out, This may be remedled by put- ting the corks in boiling water and leaving them until the water cools. CLEANS SILVER. Silver that has been packed away for years has a hopeless look _when taken out again into the light of way. It does mot seem possible that any amount of polishing will ever remove the coat of black' gloom that has settled over it. Many a tray or teapot, however, is carried to a silver shop to be “done over” that might have been rejuvina- ted at home at a saving of several dollars. Rub the article very hard in_ome spot with your finger tip. If you disclose a bright space the size of a penny be sure that the black coating will yield to treatment— and “elbow grease.” Set the article first in boiling water with several tables spoonfuls of bicarbonate of soda. Let it remain half an hour and then rub and rub and rub the silver with a flannel cloth and precipitated chalk, finally pelishing with a chamois skin. WHEN SHOES ARE WET. \ ‘When you come into the house with wet shoes do you cast them aside cerelessly? Fit a pair of shoe trees into them and set them in a good, warm spot to dry. That is the proper thing to do. But be sure that you do not put them in a very hot place, for. wet leather which exposed to much heat frequently cracks. If for any reason you have no shoe trees at hand, try stuffis the shoes with paper to keep them in shape. TABLE ETIQUETTE. Children should be taught early the following small points of table eti- quette: — Never use the knife to carry food to the mouth. ‘When through using knife and fork lay' them both diagonally across the plate with handles toward the right band. Keep the mouth shut closely while chewing the food. Creéw food thoroughly but silently and be careful to take small mouth- fuls. Do not clatter knives or forks on plates. * Take soup from side of spoon, mot from the tip, and without sounds from the lips. Napkins should be laid across the lap and not used as a bib. SAVE POTS AND PANS, tion 'of woman for dustry is to be made in Cleveland. The first American girl accepted for teléphone service with the troops in France is Miss Ethel Elkins of Phila- delphia.

Put some kernels of rice, a teaspoon- ful or 8o, in your salt shaker in hot or damp weather and see how much bet- ter it will work The -ira keeps the crystals of salt from matting together mueh more emeciuas; cian does €orn- starch, which is more generally used. WRING LINEN BY HAND. It you put your table linen through the wringer you will have creases which are-hard to remove when iron- ing. Rather, wring by hand, smoothing when putting on the line. Do not use starch. iron with hot irons while the linen is still QER ‘wet. RECIPES.

Mr. Editor: Having for seme time past observed the ever-inereasing con- gestion on. the Thames. river and in the local harbor, and the constantly growing demand for wharfage, I be- lieve that some measures must be taken to relieve the' situation and thereby benefit Norwich and the sur- rounding towns. 1 propose that a ca- {nal be built from New London to this city as_quickly as possible. Al that would be necessary would be to se- cure a right of way on_the westerly side of the New London-Norwich turn- pike which could be done at a very reasonable figure. The canal could branch off at the fairground road and follow that highway northerly to West Main street and then go straight into North Thames street, up North | Thames to Cove and_thence into the harbor north of the dump. Next the dump could be excavated and deposit- ed at the southerly end of Cen'gal Whart and the place where it now is dredged to a depth of 15 or 20 feet. making ample depth for the Sound steamers. Docks would have to be build on the east and west shores of the new harbor. The Kay Steamship Company of course reserve theirs im- mediately, thus getting a berth for the Eugene C. Hart and thereby re- duce the congestion 100 per cent. Trusting this meets with your favor Iam Yours, CANAL PROJECT. Norwich, April 12, 1918. THRD LIBERTY LOAN DON'T BE WELCHER. By Jack Lait, author and playwright, ‘whose play, “Help Wanted,” made him famous over night Do you suppose .Abriham Linceln, if he were alive today, would buy a Liberty Bond? Do you know that the. German peo- ple, with all that they have suffered, oversubscribed the heavy popular loan to_their infamous Government recent- Iy? And that Government is the one we must break, Do you think that the weath of this Nation, which is incalculable; incon- cei¥able, indeseribable even in billions. is sound security for the loan of a few more of your dollars Because of the demand for steel ahd the shortage of materials which go into the manufacture of enameled, galvanized and tinned wares in use in American kitchens some thirty manufacturers of these wares have issued jointly an appeal to the house- wife to prolong the life of her kitchen utensils. Three dmportant “don’ts” are among those laid down for the housekife to follow: Don’t use coarse scouring powders. Don't handle the wares carelessly. Don’t heat the food in a pan without ‘water. - . When it is recalled that more than $100,000,000 is spent each year by American housewives, for household uteysils it is apparent that the part ‘which the women of the home can play in national economy is no small one. SOME COLLARS ARE HIGH. i Some of the first soft crepe de chine blouses are made with high collars of the material. A very simple ome of pale pink crepe de chine, buttons over to one side like a Russian peasant smock; it buttons up one side of. the stock collar also. The edges are over- bound with a cream silk braid. This blouse end at the waistline. It is prac- tical, as a_lace stock jabot could be worn over it, as the pink is so faint as to be really a flesh color. OVERSKIRT EFFECTS, Black or very dark blue eatin dresses for autumn are seen with overskirts or tunies faced with a Nattier blue - or wine color. The tunic is caught up or turned back so a §0od deal of the con- trasting color shows. USES KNITTING NEEDLE.

((Correspondence of The Associated Press)~ The terror inspired among the de- fenceless people of Helsingfors by the murders and outrages committed by the Red Guard in the first days of the rewlution in, Finland is graphically described in a diary written on the spot by a Swedish refugee! The ac- count received here mentions that one of the victims of the massacres in the Finnish_capital was Virkunen, a well known Finnish athlete. The diary reads in part: “Sunday: This afternoon the Red Guard took possession of the Helsin- fors railway station. Soon afterward they seized all printing establishments, newspaper offices and banks. The re- volution was carried through with a rapidity and energy Which completely overpowered the existing authorities. Monday: Thé morning was compa- ratively quiet. but early in the after- noon serious disturbances began, Shots' were fired against the Hotel Kaemf, and immediately afterward the Red Guards began bombing Gronquist’s Stone House on the pretext that shots had been fired from there. The leader of the Red Guards, a tall man in oil skins, stood in the market place and directed the firing. Four thousand shots were fired in half an hour, with- out reply, the object apparently being to spread terror, in which respect it succeeded completely. “Tuesday: The new ‘Government’ was proclaimed today. The ministers, except for three well-known Reds, are perfect nonenities. The Diet has been swept away, and the Soviet formed, consisting of 35 members. - A procla- mation decrees the seizure of all capi- tal. The books of all private banks are taken over, and no person is al- lowed to draw more than 500 marks 2 week. All deposits over 10 000 marks are confiscated. Another proclamation states that it is prohibited to collect house Tent, that anyonie found in pos- session of arms after twenty-four hours will be shot. “Wednesday: Unoffending persons are being murdered by the score. The editor of a local mewspaper, A. R. Frenckell, has been murdered in cold blood, as also Virkune, the Finnish athlete, who was editor of the Finnish Athletic News. The leaders soon found that their followers could not be curb- ed. The elite of the Red Guard con- sists largely of bandits, escaped con- victs, criminals, thieves and assassins, reinforced by unscrupulous scum from the Russian fleet. In the police sta: tions. the comtrol is in the hands of appointed Director of the Postal Ser- rogues. An illiterate postman has been vice and a Russian prakeman is Dirc- tor-Géneral of Railways. “All control of the mob is slipping from the hands-of the leaders. The death standard has been hoisted aver what was formerly the officers’ casino and on all vessels in the port, indma!-. ing that further massacress are in store. “Thursday: Two members of the Diet, a lawyer named Mikola and a clergyman named Beck, were shot. Five other members were taken pri- soners and probably have been killed. Four humdred members of the White Guard have been slain and countless murders have been comraftted in the bouses, where people of all ages have been tortured and killed under forms impossible to_describe. “Friday: Senator Stahlberg arrest- ed and presumably shot. Today was a day devoted to wholesale Tobbery, or, as the Red Guards call it ‘Disposses- sion.’ E “Among the many purposeless mur- ders, that of the young student Hielt is worthy of mention. His father had died a natural death at Kerava, and he went to the little town to bring his father’s body to Helsingfors for burial. At'Gérava he was shot, although he expliined why Re- had come. = on, some of the Red Guards realized that they had committed an unusually shameful deed, and sent o represent- ative around to apologize to the fam- ily, explaining that the young man had been ‘shot by mistake’ and it was really somebody else who should have been killed. Again and again the same exeuse is made for the murder of un- offending persons. “On a railway slding T noticed a car containing sixteen corpses. These six- teen persons had taken refuge in a stable. The Red Guards had promised them a safe conduct if they would give up their arms. They did so and were ot one by one as they came out of sh low their hiding place. As the shots failed to kill several of them, the wounded men were dragged into the waiting Ehildren Cry FOR FLETCHER'S murdered them with blows from the Dutt-ends of their rifies. This station became forthwith the center of a cam- paign of infamous massacre, the Reds sallying forth from it for a variety of murders and robberies. “There was no plan to the aetion of the Reds—they robbed _plundered, raped and burned for mere pleasure and lust of destruction. - Former re- volutions had their tribunals, this one is not troubled with such formalities. The old General Silverhelm was mus dered because his nephew was in the White Guard; the chief oustoms of- ficer at Mantyluoto because he had denounced a Russian soldier for theft. Fighty youths were murdered outside imerfore with a brptamy passing | all bounds.” WASTELESS MEALS. My table sees no wanton waste, I do as Hoover tells; T eat my eggs with eager haste, and’ then consume the shells. Three times a day I drop my harp, and_hush' its golden tones, and eat my shore of kippered carp, and then I eat the bomes. But casting levity aside, since it's In rotten taste, 1 take a patriotic pride in cutting out the waste. We ustd to have a garbage can—forinst the barn it stood—and there the hired girl often ran. to dump all kinds of food. Big chunks of steak we failed to eat, she'd throw therein, kerplash; but now we take sucn hunks of meat and make uplifting bash For things in bulk, in days of old, | used to blow my pay, and when they grew a crop of mold, we threw the lot away. But now Im careful of the dime, I buy just what we'll eat, say two molasses at a time, one egg. one grain of wheat. I always save the coffee grounds, and boil them o'er and o'er; no wasted provender abounds back of my kitchen door. The villaga dogs that once waxed fat on-what 1 threw away, now through their skins show every slat, and they must live ‘on hay. The grocer’s bills have shorter grown, the butchér feels an ache when he ‘wraps up a cheap soupbone, where once I bought a steak. It is no fad- dist’s path 1 tread, no scheme of fitful gusts; I gladly eat my plain_brown bread—the children eat the crusts— Walt Mason in Washington Post. Oil Shales Reserved for the Navy. In the annual report of the Director of the Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, just made public, at- tention is called to the creation of two naval oil reserves in Colorado and Utah. The Survey has been imvesti- gating the oil shales of the United States that give the most promise of yielding a commercial supply of oil and has explored large areas in Colorado’ and Utah that contain immense de- posits of such shales, some of Which carry 30 to 50 gallons of oil to the ton. This potential resource is estimated by the Survey in terms of billions of bar- rels of oil, which it is believed can be economically extracted from the shales, possibly in competition with petroleum at present prices. It is therefore of special interest to note that during the last year two oil-shale reserves were created for the use of the Navy, one of 45,440 acres in Colorado and one of 86,584 acres in Utah.

Geplogic examination of the oil shale region of the West has shownthat the oil shales in Utah and Colorado contain enormous quantities of petroleum. They also contain & considerable percentage of nitrogen, aggregating a vast supply, which can be recovered as a by-product in the refining of the shale and used either as a fertilizer or in the manufacture of explosives.
