In connection with the a the Germar U-boats on this sid: the Atlantic it is a noticeable that most of the shi which ity have been sunk have been those which were | not armed. Had they carried guns the same as those which =o through the submarine zone the submarines would still have a chance to use tor- pedoes upon them without giving warning bu! that could not be done with the game degree of safety when the coastwise vessels are armed as when they are unarmed. In this connection it {8 noted that a cargo carrier returned to port after beecoming :uspicious of the presence of an underwater boat and the ecom- frander requested that his ship be fitted out with guns. That being done he would not hesitate to guide his ship to the designated port. He un- derstands the protection which goes with such armament and the wide berth which the submersibles give to <hips thus able to defend themselves. There can be no question but what the arming of merchunt vessels has been of the sreatest value on the other side of the water. A number of submarines have heen accounted for by the gunners on such ships and an unarmed ship is not considered fii for service about the British Isles. While there were no submarines on thie side such protection was not considered necessary but now that they have appeared and are picking off the unprotected vesselg it is time that this matter was given due thought. They are eertainly entitled to all the protection they can get and no means of decreasing the effective- ness of the underwater hoats can be overlooked. FIGHTING AMERICANS. Germany looks upon the aecom- plishments by the American forces as of little or no importance. It consid- ers that what has been gained js of small account and of course it may be justified in that view when con- sideration is ziven to all the terri- ory which it has been taking in its drives, but it cannot overlook the sig- nificance of the manner in which the Teutonic troops have not only been stopped in their efforts to get pos- session of an open route to Paris but forced to give up positions which were of special value in such an un- dertaking. The hiing which the Americans have been doing around Chateau Thierry and to the northwest of that point makes it evident that they are giving the Germans more to think about than was expected from quick- 1y trained Yankees. They have shown not only that they are fighters but that they dre not easily forced to abandon their undertakings once they plunge “ into the fight, and® Germany must realize that the help which America is to zive the allies is more than was anticipated from a con- temptible little army. Wherever the Americans have been tried out they have been found to be a hard force to contend with. This was shown at Seicheprey, at Cantig- ny and in the latest display of thelr fighting ability. Germany can well toast of the fact that its troops are all trained, and this applies to the youngest as well as the oldest but they are being driven into the fight while the American soldiers and ma- rines are fighting for themselves and hwmanity. They are fighting for principles and not for conquest and proving a hard santagonist and this Germany as well as the allies have come to kmow, even if it does not ad- mit it ADJUSTING LABOR DISPUTES. A strika which involves a public utility always con¢erns many more than those whose interests are direct- ly at stake. The public is made the innocent victim whatever the condi- tions-but, particularly is this true now ‘ when every energy is being bent on war work and increased dependence ‘s being placed upen pubiic transpor- tation facilities to get the employes to and from. their work. It cannot help being looked upon as - happy solution of the dispute be- tween the car erews and the Public Bervice -corporation of New Jersey, thepefors, when. it was agreed that the ik et St flwmm.g‘.‘xnog 625 Main Street M’fi labor disputes ought not to be made in the great majority of cases In ac- cord with the cold, hard facis. PERMANENT PAVEMENTS. As the result of ths adjourned an- nual city meeting there can be little question hut what the taxpayers of Norwien 1wily recognize the need of constructing mMmore permanent pave- ments within the city himits and but for the fact that the yvearly expenses are running higher than usual and that there are other big demands for monev in sight it seems probable that the meeting would have gone muth forther than it did in anthorizing ex- penditures -in that direction. In confining itself to the widening and paving of West Thames street from Hish street south it is quite evi- dent that it recognized a need which has long existed. That sireet may not be in as bad condition as some of the others as far as the present avenues®of travel which has 1 aitention and the work to ! mear-the ¢xtension of the ! commgendable improvement which was made when Thames street was wid- ened. The vote recommending rrovement of West out of the appropriation for macadam s chowed good judgment but s likewise need for the devo-| ! that can be spared from | fund for ths betterment-of the cadi to Taftvilie and the Lau- macidam. These are two portant entrances to the city e in need of immediate at- the tax rate not been E h there is good rea- 5 heiieve that the appropriations asked for for such work would have been voted, These with the aequisi- tion of more fire apparatus are mat- ters which will confront the city a year from now. the im- Maln street hiils THE NEW GERMAN THREAT. It was the privilege of Qermany to ask through the Swiss government for the exchange of Franz von Rintelen and to offer to give up Siegfried Paul J.ondon an American by naturaliza- tion who is under arrest and sentence in that country on charge of being a Russian epy. But when it aceqmpan- ied that offer with a threat that re- prisals would be résorted to if the re- quest was not complied with it couldn’t have made a greater mistake. Germany gives evidence by resort- ing to such action that there is some reason why it is particulariy anxlous to get Rintelen back to Germany. He was one of the active members. of the e¢nemy’s agents im this country andl led the bomb nlotters in the blowing! up of shins and factories, being the financial head of this work in the! United States. He is now serving a sentence at Atlanta foilowing his, con- viction and it has been claimed that he is a relative of the kaiser.. Syeh being the case the anxiety of the German government to secure his re- lease may be explained but it is quite evident that it has used the wrong method to secure it . When it comes to making reprisals Germany should consider the posi-| tion of this country in guch a matter| and in this connection Secretary Lans- ing well said in his reply “It would be wise for the German government| that if it acts on that principle it will be inevitably understood to invite similar reciprogal action on the part of the United States with respect to the greater number of German sub- jects in this country.” Germany for once better stop and think what the shaking of its fist in such a manner might mean. German threats haven’t frightened the United States as yet. EDITORIAL NOTES. If it is impossible to get any good news out of Russia it might be a good idea to put some into it. The man on the corner says: A good many people find it quite a task to keep in tune with June. The steamship which fires at every- thing that looks like a periscope has | the right idea. It is no time to take chances. Interest runs high in aanticipation of the bringing in of a capture@ subma- rine, or the report that it has been Gestroyed. There are some things which it is necessary to have and the city meet- ing appears to have so looked upon the matter of better streets. While it is reported that the Ger- man troops are to have meatless days, prisoners tell of the fact that they are already suffering from eatless days. The Austrian drive is being antici- pated daily. but the kaiser hasn'f as vet fixed the date for the neutral yress representatives to be at the front. From long experience it has been conclusively shown that no more re- liance can be placed on the proper be- havior of General Humidity than upon the Hums. . The idea of putting the idlers to work is a good one and if the jail- hirde can beé made to help out in the labor situation they ought not to be cverlooked. It makes no difference whether they belong to belligerent or neutral na- tions the U-boats sink every vessel that they can as is shown by the de- struction of the Norwegian vessels on this side of the Atlantic.

Put a piecé of ite in the room in which a patient with a high fever is lying; it Wwill prove a boon to the suffe Bread will cut thinner and in more even slices if you turn the loaf up- ‘sidedown. Buealyptus oil will remove grease, including machine oil, from any febric without injury. When the enamél on gas stoves be- comes discolored, scour it with a damp flannel @ipped in garden soil. ‘When making deserts, allow oné heaping tablespoonful of granulated suigs.r to each egg and half a pint of milk. To remove the unpleasant ddor from the bands after peeling onmiops, rub them with salt and wash in cold water. White of an egg will clean fly specks from gilt frames or moldings. Apply the white of égg with camel’s hair brush. A very goed way to singe chickens is to hold thém over a saucer of burn- ing alcohol. There is no seot left then on the flesh. One and a half teaspoonfuls of bak- ing powder te one pint of sifted flour is a good rule to follow for biscuits or shortcake. 1 One large tablespoonful of white flour and one large tablespoonful of ‘butter, blended, will thicken half a pint of milk or water sauces. Sweet oil will remove hot water marks from Japanese trays. Rub it well until the marks disappear, then polish the tray with flour and a soft cloth. To make a cheap stew, take one pound or more of ieanest part.of skirt skin and cut into small squares. Melt some of the fai in saucep brown squares nicely, cover with boiling water and allow to simmer one hour. Add 2 carrot and turnip (if liked), sliced pepper and salt. After the hour, slice two or three onions and cook another half-hour. The meat will be as tender and tempting as steak and at half the cost. 1 Broken potatoes left over from a meal, should be mashed, added to a beatén egg, rolled into halls and fried| or baked. Potatoes which are intend- ed for roasting, baking or frying always be half-boiled first. i UPHOLSTERED CHAIRS. Times have changed. It used to be that upholstered chairs were only for the wealthy, or the heirs of antiquity. But now, as far as price goes, anybody can have one. A modified wing arm- chair, with straight short legs, can be bought for comparatively little! -Many times it can be used in its original coverings, but if, to follow a certain decorative color scheme,.it seems nec- essary to have it re-covered, it may be done at the time of buying for only the actual cost of the material. At any later time there is an additional cost of about $3 for covering.Of the widest material. It usually takes three and a half to four yards without a ruffle. A chair of this sort would be delightful for the living room. It might be ypholstered in a dark, well covered cretonne or printed linen, a valour, repp. corduroy, sunfast oe hair- cloth. For the library it might be up- holstered in repp, linen, velour, cor- duroy or leather. BEDSTEAD SETTEE. A very attractive’ hall settee was made out of an old wooden bedstead as follow: The head of the bed made the bax The foot of the bed was cut in half and made the sides. The sides of the bed were cut down and made the seat. With some sofa pil- lows to help a useful and beautiful piece of furniture was thus provided for the.reception hall. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. When the eyes begin to settle back in the head it is due to a wasting away of the fatty cushion back of the eves. Massage will not help this con- | dition. You must build up the general; health. Eat nutritious food, drink milk or cream between meals, take a| brisk walk every morning and sleep in | a well-ventilated room. A camphorated bath is refreshing and leaves a pleasant color on the skin. Pour slowly into a basin of water sufficient of the lotion to make the water look milky and sponge the body with it. Tincture od benzoin, one-half ounce; tincture of camphor, one ounce; cologne, two ounces. Shake well and it is ready for use. The cleansing -bath with soap and water should, of course, be taken first. It is an excellent idea to sponge the neck and chest ‘off with cold water each morning, as this serves to harden the flesh against cold. The girl should be sure that the space between her two shoulders is well protcted, for it is from the rear that the icy winds strike pneumonia and inflammation of the lungs into the body. Dust is brought from the outer air into the establishment on the clothes. Bacteria and other germs which infest | dust do not grow except when this dust is in motion. Houses should, | therefore, be well dusted. Vacuum} cleaners are the best because they draw off this germinating stuff. Don’t stay up late at night: get at least nine hours good sleep. Sleep keeps one in excellent condition and is a beautifier. Don't forget that a well-rounded figure makeés one look younger and is considered a beauty. NEW HANDBAGS. ‘The bag has this year assumed a leading role in the realm of dress, for formerly its function was purely utilitarian. It was entirely a recepta- cle of service, but today it is an in- tegral part of the costume and by no means so insignificant as its size might lead one to summarize. Where once upon a time one bag Was considered; quite sufficient for any well dressed woman, nowadays, two, three, four and even five bags are scarcely enough. That old-fashioned receptacle of leather which we were wont to think indispensablé because of its wearing qualities is this season conspicuous by its absence, the bags of satin, vel- vet or beads entirely monopolizing the fleld in the handbag world. The most favored bag is without doubt the beaded one, which may entirely of-beads or in combination of beads and satin. Another leader i the bag made of very handsome mate- rial, mcgnu satin brocade in gold or recently. This dag had the lower made of navy blue satin with green brocaded ign. beaded ent wds in green and Dblue, ;and cuff are worn out. ) Ether, methylated spirits or turs pentine will remove tar. First rub thé Stain with a littie frésh lard and allow to stand a while, then wash. If this Goes not remove tar, cover stain with a mixture of oil of turpentine and the white of an egs, let stand and wash in the usual way. DICTATES OF FASHION. Postal blue is favorite for crépe gowns. fine,| Velvet net is used for evening gar- ments. Tailored coats and skirts are often long ang slim. Narrow skirts contributé to a girlish sithouette. Circular yokes are in again and charming as evel Not a few of the nlew narrow skirts are draped. White silk jersey is first choice for bathing suits. Small jJacquered humming birds dec- orate a lisere turban. A touch of black makes the all white. costume becoming. Very little trimming appears separate skirts nowadays. on The all-in-one, or waistless, gown, has bécome permanent. Pointed overskirts are a feature of the new evening dresses. It's an even race now between the Eton and wrist length jacket. A smart suit of oyster white eilk poplin is trimmed with foulard, And still the jereys come in fibre, silk, wool and novelty weaves, Roshanara crepe makes into frocks and suits as pretty as its name. Gray tricollet and blue serge is one of the newest fabric partnerships. - Tweeds are ~popular again, also ser_?le. tricotine, gabardine and Poiret twill, FLOOR CUSHIONS. The floor cushion, as the modern development of the footstool. is o well established now that it needs no in- troduction. Sometimes these cushions are of black or of purple gréen—sub- stantlal hues and suitable for foot cushions—but at other times they are of delicate hue and even made of lace —fit only, it would seem, for the foot shot in Cinderella’s crystal slipper; also are there cushions for the garden and the veranda. There are drawing room cushions and dining room cush- ions, bedroom cushions and boudoir cushions, cushions for the morning and cushions for tea time. cushions for one's limousine and cushions for the beach when summer comes. SASHES AND GIRDLES. Sashes and wide girdles are an im- portant accessory of many of the newest gowns. In girdles, the wid2 crushed styles made of fabric or of ribbon are favored, being twisted twice around the waist¢ and buttoned on either side. Wide, draped girdles of brocaded ribbon especially acr handsome the front of a gown Checked and plaid taffeta are very gooq for silk dresses for summer. The light colors used in them make a wel- come relief from the rather sombre colors of our suits and street dresses of cloth. NEEDLEWORK NOTES, If you are mending a badly torn piece of embroidery do as much as| possible of the mending-at the back. In buttonholing the top of a corset cover or fine centrepieces, run a heavy thread around the scallop before be- ginning the buttonholing. This pre- vents tearing and gives a firm edge to work upon. Don’t discard your little girl’ guimpes just because the lower sleeve Get out your piece bag and in a few minutes you can fashion and attach a new sleeve Pportion to the old upper. A cambric one will usually outlast two extra pairs of sleeves, as these parts have to be washed & good deal more than the rest of the garment. So much for repairs. Better still, when making new ones, make extra portions a little longer to allow for growth and you won't have to worry about new ones so often. BEAUTIFUL RIBEONS. Ribbon plays an important part in dress trimmings, accessories, etc., and never have been more beautiful than they aer this year. Many are inter- woven with gold and silver and some | are formed almost entirely gold or silver tissue, There are ribbons of satin with paisley spots in old-fashioned tints and pale taffeta ribbons in rose, mauve and nattier blue, over which are sprinkled at intervals “lucky” lady birds brocaded in dull gold or siiver. Striped or checked faille ribbons are extremely fashionable, and among the novelties are ribbons with long woven fringe at the ends. Various are the ways in which these ribbons are utilized for frock trim - mings. They are introduced in the form of inset bands, plaited, shirred or plain, and sometimes as frillings or richings. of . dull CLEAN WHITE FEATHERS. White feathers of any kind, es- pecially white plumes, can be cleaned at home to look like new at a small cost. Take one quart of gasoline and | § cents’ worth of plaster of paris, and mix together to the consistency of whippéd cream. Dip the feathers in this mixture several times and squeeze and pat them for a few minutes; then hang uyp in the open air to dry thoroughly and until all the gasoline has evaporated. (Remember never to use gaeoline in a room with a light or fire; it is very explosive.) Be care- ful not t6 handle feathers until thoroughly dry; then shake well (but not too hard), and result will be a s | beautiful, fluffy feather. Furs may be cléaned in this way, both White and light gray, with perfect results. OXFOBPS ARE SMART. Pumps dre dut and oxfords are in.

MEN WHO CAME BACK WORK OF RER CROSS AND STRETCHER BEARERS. By Private Hugh Fleming, Co. C. 1st Battalion, British Bxpedi- tionary Fore 3 1 was an observer, on special duty, for the first Battalion of Leicesters and Buffs. Having been gassed at Ypres and wounded by & mnhlr_le gun bullet, I got all that was coming to me, and I can't speak too highly of the Réd Cross work over there. And of the courage of our stretcher bear- ers. Here'is an example of it: 1 was gassed at two o'clock in the afternoon. At seven that night two stretcher bearers found me and pre- pared to carry me back to the dressing station. At that moment a Hun ex- plosive struck the top of the shoulder of one of the men, and he had to be helped back by his co-worker. The latter soon returned with another stretcher bearer to help carry me back. This new stretcher bearer was killed when within a hundred yards of me, and then the first man by a supreme effort, carried me back him- self. Talk about couragé and hero- ism! Some of my special work as an ob- server was exciting. One time 1 was out after a epy and had considerable difficulty in proving I was not a spy myself. This is what happened: e saw a light flash at intervals back of our lines. It appearéd to be signal- ling to the German front line trench- es. I starteq out to investigate, as this was my special job. hastily not thinking I would have far to go, so did not trouble to get a pass. On I went until suddenly haited by a guard. There was nothing to do but to yield or face his gun. He did not believe my story. To the Divis- ional headquarters I had to go, while the real spy and the “fn iling con- tinued their work. 1 told my story to the British Géneral before whom I was taken. Neither did he believe m¢. He called up the O. C, at Battery Headquarters at Tarm, sure he had secured a Hun passing himeself off as a Canadian. My O. C., of cource, verified my statements, and 1 was given the necessary paper to permit me to catry on. But it was too late and the signalling had ceased. The next night the light began fitshing again, but a mile and a half farther to the right. By the time we got across the trenches and crossed the roads it had stopped. The next day I eépent surveying this ground. 1 found a man ploughing a field. He was loafing on the job and it was very e object there. We discovered later that one man ploughed and got information and sniped our lines, and his brother-in- law did the signalling in the evening. The papers found on them told the story. STORIES OF THE WAR WATCH oOuUT! MUSKMELONS. INSECTS LIKE “Well, Fellow Bugs,” says the lead- er of the insetts some fine morning. “let's go into the garden today and have a fine dinner on muskmelon i plants.

Who would refuse for breakfast a rich, home-grown musk- melon picked in the cool of the morn- ing, while still bathed in sparkling dew Here is what to do to have them on your table: As soon as the frosts are past pre- pare the melon corner by deep plowing or spading and put two or three fork- fuls of well-rotted manure in each {hill. ‘Mak& the hills six feet apart each way, and work the manure into {the ground. Piant eight or 10 seeds in each hill, and cover oné fnch déep. When the plants are three or four inches high thin out all but two or three of them. Give good cultlva- tion and spray thoroughly. Young muskmelon plants are rel- ished by several kinds of insects. aAnd {are usually very much injured by be- {ing partly eaten up. The best thing |to do I8 to use blant protectors as soon ag the seeds sprout. A light wooden frame with cheese-cloth tacked on, or small boxes without tops or bottoms but with cheesé-cloth tacked over the tops will serve. These should be left over the plants until la foot or more of growth has taken { place, Melons do best in eandy soil, but will succeed on heavier land.
