Griswold, now with the American troops in France, is one of the heroes of the fight with the Germans at Seicheprey this week. The captain is weil known in this city as he was in command of the New " Britain company that was quartered at the armory in the spring of 1917 while on guard duty. He is a cousin of Mrs, Harry Bjurstrum of Claire mont avenue. Company G, which had stch a con- epicuous part, under Captain Griswold, in the successful fight against the Ger- man attacking force, is made up large- 1y of former national guardsmen from Middletown and New Haven. Captain Grisweld, it is reported, fought his way out from the midst of German soldiers several times and once during the battle when hig com- pany was under heavy fire and his ows ture seemed certain, he fought his kiliing with his pistol four of the Germans. Company C, it is said, was one of the first of the American command to re-enter Seicheprey, driv- inz Huns before them. Private Mer= win H.

SUPPORT FOR THE OVERMAN l BILL IN THE SENATE! ber During Prolonged Debate. ‘Washington, April 24.—Support for the Overman bill empowering the president to reorganize government departments, came from both sides of the chamber today as the long drawn out debate neared the final stage and proceeded under an agreement limit- ing spesch-making. Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the military committee, for whose war cabinet and munitions director bills the pending measure v tually is a substitute, together with Senators Borah of Idaho and Nelson of Minnesota, republicans, spoke .for the bi Senator Chamberlain, how- ever, limited his support by stating h would vote for an amendment to ex empt the Interstate Commerce Com- I'mission and federal reserve board from executive action. For the “administration, Senators Williams ' of, Mississippi; Wolcott of Delaware and others made spirited speeches in behalf of the hill Tomorrow voting on amendments will begin with the fight centered on that exempting the Interstate Com- merce Commission. The rule under which the senate is working limits each senator to speeches of half an hour on the bill itself and twenty min- utes on each amendment. Senators Chamberlain, Williams, Bo- rah and Nelson all scouted the sug- gestion that the powers proposed in the bill might be abused. Other leg- islation, Senator Nelson said, has con- ferred more “despotic” authority, while Senator Borah declared the pending measure would be helpful without per. itting any permanent change in gov- ernment organization. TRAVELERS INSURANCE CO. SUBSCRIBES $2,000,000 Largest “Single Subscription in New INCREASE TO BE MADE . IN SHIPBUILDING PROGRAM For Military Reasons the Exact is Not Made Public. Washington, April 24.—The shipping board has decided on a substantial in- crease in its building programme for 1919 over the tonnage planned for this vear and indications are that the in- crease will be continued in 1920, Plans for next year were discussed today at a luncheon attended by Chairman Hurley and other members of the shipping board, Vice President Piez and Director General Schwab of the Emergency Fleet Corporation; P. A. S. Franklin, of the International Ship Contrel Committee; Major Gen- eral Geethals and other officials. Es- pecial attention was paid to the ques- tion of passenger ships and refrigera- tor ships, for which the war depart- ment will make increasingly large de- mands as the war progresses. For military reasons the exact size of the future building programme was not made public: om previous sctatements of Chairmaf! ffurley, how- ever, it has been estimated that the construction in 1919 will be in excess of ten million tons, the largest amount ever built in any one year by any na- tion. Before January 1, all the ship vards will be in full operation and many old yards which have demon- strated their ability to build efficient- ly will be expanded. Of the total tonnage nex; year, ap-~ proximately 8,000,000 tons ®will be of steel. It is expected that 2,500,000 tons of wooden ships will be turned out next vear, virtually all on the Gulf and Pa- cific coasts. Continuation of the navy building programme may be effected, but on completion of emergency war work ways for another 650,000 tons of mer- chant shipping will be released. _— NEW TAXATION PROPOSALS MADE IN THE REICHSTAG England Yesterday.

EARLY START NEEDED Getting an early start is one of the main essentials jn growing a success- ful home garden. This is especially true in the New England States and the northern sections where the grow- ing season is comparatively short, and | where the gardener must be careful in planting in the open lest Jack Frost get his crops. The hotbed. the coldframe, or even a sunny window epace in the kitchen or living room will serve as a place for starting early plants of tomato, cab- bage, peppers and eggplant. Ten days to three weeks can be gained by planting string beans, melons, cucum- bers of even sweet corn indoors, us- ing eiether strawberry boxes or paper bands for the purpose. Window Boxes. First provide a flat box, about three inches deep, bore two or three holes in the bottom of it and put in about one inch of cinders er gravel for draimage, then fill it to within one-half inch of the top with light, sifted loam soil. Plant the seeds of tomdte, cabbage, pepper and eggplant in this box and keep it watered lightly but do not let it dry out. When the plants have formed one or two true leaves, in addition to their seed leaves, traneplant them to another box in rich soil, giving them a space of at least two inches each way. Allow the plants to grow in this box until ready to plant in the gatden. How to Use Paper Bands. Paper bands can be made of any heavy pa- per or Bght cardhoard. Cut - the paper into strips three inches wide ang twelve inches long and form into rings by overlapping the ends and sttchin § together with needle and heavy toread. These bandg are set closely together in a ehaliow box,| filled with good soil, and trree to five seeds of beans, corn, cucumber or melons are planted in each. By the time all danger of frost is past the plants will be well started and ready for setting in the garden.Mark off the rows in the garden and set the plants at the proper distances, using a trowel or wooden paddle to dig the holes to receive the plants. It does not make very much difference if the paper bands are removed or not, as they have no hottom and the roots go directly into the ground. The paper bands will decay, anyway. Setting plants in the Garden. It is a time-honored custom eon the farm to set plants late in the evening or after a shower. However, it is not necessary to wait for a shower, as the plants may be set in dry soil if a little water is poured around the roots.} After the water soaks in a little dryi earth should be pulled up around the plant to prevent the moistened soil from baking. Before the plants are pulled the plant bed should be thoroughly watered in order to have as much soil as possible adhere to the roots. This will aid in giving the plants a start when set in the garden. Shield Plants from Sun—It is also a good plan, after the plants are set, to shade them for a few days sticking an old shingle or a piece of thin board at an angle over each plant so as to protect it from the sun during the middle of the day. Use Potatoes to Save Wheat. At the request of food administra- tion and food supply committee, every loyal citizen of the state is asked fear comparison with that of foreign countries. Great Britain's big taxa- tion achievements show neither a new basis nor an organic reform. Ameri- can war taxes represent merely ran- dom - and variation. The success of our loan policy is attributable to a conscientiqus covering interest on im- pe!t.m loans and to balancing the bud- got.” _— Endeavours are being made by the Australian Government to stmulate the production of flax.

To remind anyone of potato soup, potato stew, or creamed potatoes, is a sufficient. production of potatoes by conserving them now! If every housewife will seek to use variety in serving potatoes, she will find she can serve them -three times a day without tiring of them. Try some of these recipes. They are tried and recommended by the food administra- tion and county,farm bureau: Doughnuts—One-foufth cup short. ening, one cup sugar, one cup pota- toes, one cup milk, two eggs, three ta- biespoons baking powder, spices to taste. Flour enough to make soft dough. Cream shortening, add sugar, eggs and potatoes. Then add milk and dry ingredients sifted. Pat and roll dough one-half inch thick. Cut and fry in deep fat. Potate Cookies—Two cups sifted flour, one-half teaspoon salt, two tea- spoons baking powder, three-quarters cup brown sugar, three tablespeons shortening, one egz well beaten, ons cup mushed potato. Cream together the butter and sugars To this add the well-beaten egg and the mashed po- tato (free from all lumps). Beat until smooth, then add the twice-sifted mix- ture of flour, salt and baking powder. It will usually not be necessary to add any liquid. ix untilt a dough is formed stiff enough to roll.

It should be started in the hotbed or win- dow box and set in the open ground about the time ‘f the last frost. The method of planting and the cultivation is similar to that practiced for cab- bage. It can be planted in the open at the same time. Early sowings are made; and if thinned to 4 to 6 inches apart the plants will soon grow to edible sizes under favorable weather conditions. This_plant should receive much more consideration than usual- ly is given ita. It is really a poor man’s caulifiower.—U. S.
