Once again the annual fair of the New London County Agricultural So- clety is at hand and once 2gain is the soclety cooperating with the Cen- tral Labor Union for the joint observ. ance of Labor day. This idea has worked out most successfully in past years and there is no reason to sup- pose but what it will prove the big attraction in the county today for those who lay aside their warsor other activities to get the bemefits of the holiday which is set aside for labor. Labor day, which has been the open- ing day of the fair for a number of years, comes this year on next to the earliest day possible inasmuch as it is definitely fixed for the first Mon- day In September. For that reason it is possible that it will prevent as great a number from displaying agri- cultural products as it would at some later day but thera can be no ques- tion but what there will be a varied and interesting assortment, and inas- much ag evervone is thinking agri- culturally these days and thousands who gave the tilling of the soil prac- tically no attention before are now contribu: their mite there is bound to be a greater enthusiasm and rival- Iy in this particular department. The results which others get cannot fail to arouse keen interest. With efforts made to bring other de- rartments including the amusements up to a high standard the great gathering where the country and city folk hobnob and rub elbows, swap gossip and stories should be the cen- ter for all towns of the county, while the fact cannot be overlooked that it is such attendance which guides the cficials in making up their pro- programme from year to year. SPEEDING THE ADVANCE. Regardless of the resistance which the enemy is giving by throwing in of reinforcements at various places alopg the line. It is insufficient to hold the allies. Perhaps the idea is simply to retard the 3ritish and Freach until guns, material and troops can be moved but even so the captures which are being made, and being made steadily, make it evident that the Teutons are not getting away 48 clean as they expected or as safely as_they would like, 4 With no definite schedule. except to strike where the best results can be obtained, the ailies arz moving ahead first in the north and then in the routh with blows' in the center when it becomes necessary to straighten out the salients. For some days i* has heen evident that General Foch! i# aiming at the capture of Douai and Cambrai in the north and Laon in the south and it cannot fail to be ap- preciated even in Germany that he is making excellent progress. In the north thé recovery of Kem- mel hill, the advance to the outskirts of Lens, with the obfervation of fires in Lens and Armentieres, and the taking of Bullecourt make it evident that the Germans are going to be forced to last ditch fighting if they retain their hold upon the Hindenburg line. This opinion is strengthened by the driving of the Germans out of Peronne, the crossing of the Somme and the progress being made on the Otse while it is-a significant fact that the British losses in the past week were much lighter than in the pre-| veding one. The rapidity with which the allies move forward, with artil- lery as well as infantry cannot fail to make a serious impression upon those retreat. At the present rate of progress it ought pot to be long before the allieg will be knocking at St. Qufin!in and Laon. RAIDS ON THE RHlNE. The people in the towns along the Rhine, and the number is quite size- able, do not like the way in which they are being bombed by the allied sirplanes. We do not know as we can blame them but inasmuch as they are simply being allowed to ex- perience the same kind of treatment which the people of cities in the al- lied countries have been forced to undergo for a much longer period, tnasmuch as the wunjustified raidihg was instituted by Germany it does peem a bit strange that they should e making such a howl about it ard expecting the allies to let up. Where thé people of the Rhine cit- M should be emphasizing their pro- | damaged it will TN tests is in Berlin. They know, or at least should know, that the imperial German. government is respaasible for the air raidg which they are experi- encing, and even then, if they were properly informed, they would appre- ciate the fact that what they are complaining about has been far Jess severe in their ease than in the case of the allied civilians, for the air raids over Ge cities are con- ducted with a view to destroying es- tablishments of milifary importance while German raids have no restric- tions whatever. The people of Germany do not like the effects of the derial bombs any better than the army. liked the re- sults when the allies began to use gas and employed it even more effectual- ly than did the Huns. It is the usual result of trying a dose of ome's own medicine but the peoplé of the Rhine might as well realize tiat they will get more before they get less. SPAIN'S JUSTIFIED ACTION. In deciding to take over the Ger- man vessels interned in that country It was in fact the only thing which it could do and maintain its self-re- spect in view of the warning which it gave but & few days ago to the Ger- man government. That it went further than it was indicated it was prepared to is shown by the announcement . to the effect that al of the German vessels are to be seized when it was under- stood at the time of the notification that it was planning to take such ships only as Spanish ships were sunk. Since the giving of \warninz to Germany Spain has lost three ves- sels and it must have become evident that it wag ‘only a question of time when the whole 90 German ships would have to be taken over even un- der the piecemeal plan, and in view of ‘the fact that Spain has already lost practically that number the sen- sible thing to do was to make a clean Job of it all at once and get the bene- fit of the vessels as quickly as pos- le. Germany has thus learned that Spain was not bluffing but it will be interesting to learn what effect this act will have upon the relations of the two countries and how badly be found the ships are, for it cannot be believed that Germany has not given the com- manders sufficient notice in which to demolish the engines of the ships even more effectuaily ‘than was done in this eountiry. Germany thus loses on- other valuable portion of its merchant marine. the ultimatum has been put into effect and it will surprise if it is not followed by a severance of re- lations if not the declarationl of a etate of war. Still Spain s fully justified in its action. It has tolerated abuse too long alread ENCOURAGING THE ENEMY. It might be well for those who are €0 inelined to launch out into a strike because their demands for an increase in wages, amounting to double dr more than double what they were re- ceiving before the war, are not con- sidered justified, if they would stop to think what an impression their ac- tions must create upon the nations which this country is fighting. It is clearly understood what an ‘mpression is created in the United States when word is received of strikes in various parts of Germany or Austria Hungary, and it is only reasonable to believe that the same sort of feeling is created in those countries when they learn that th employes in factories which afe turn- ing out war goods are throwing down their tools and quitting werk. Would it be at all surprising if they looked upon such actions as a move directly against the interests of the nation, a step against the governmeént and a lack of support to the cause for which this country is fighting? There is no reason to believe but what as much encouragement is given to the central powers through unjus- tified strikes in this country as the peorde of the United States gain from the labor unrest which is from time to time disclosed in those countries, even though the conditions are far different. The fact is that every strike which interferes with the nation’s war pro- gramme displays a most unworthy at- titude. Of all tifnes the present should command the utmost loyalty of every citizen of the country and in thig respect labor is no exception. EDITORIAL NOTES. In the gasoleneless Sundays, the livery horse sees a chance to come back temporarily. Nero fiddled while Rome burned and Crown Prince Rupprecht is courting while his army runs. Whether it comes early or late La- bor day starts the exodus from the summer resorts to the winter home. As it continues to progress it might be interesting to learn how Hindenbdrg likes the game of set- Hack. 7he small number of autos on Sun- day showed most owners heartily in sympathy with the movement to save gasolene, The German empress fears a simi- lar fate as that of the czar and czar- ina in Russia. Does she by any chance feel that it is deserved? It depends upon how generally auto owners comply with the request to save gasolene as to whether they are forced by mandatory orders to do so. Those who walked instead of mo- toring Sunday had a better chance te make a close study of the scenic at- tractions even if they didn't see as many. These are the days when the Ger- man people are being impressed with the victorious manner in which the kaiger's forces are rushing back- ‘ward. The important highway today course is that which. leads to the fair grounds and it is fortunate indeed that some repairs have been made thereto. After all that Germany has done to Luxemburg the great surprise is that a princess of the grand cuchy should bé willing to marry the crown prince of Bavaria. The man on the corner says: It s passing strange that the joy which comeg with the end of the hay fever season very seldom characterizes the vacation's end, The one big surprise of the past week was that Berlin did not enter a nrotest over the use by the allieg of the mustard gas shells which the Ger- mans abandoned.

In making custards or other food- stuffs calling for scalded milk, remem- ber that if the milk is in a double boiler it reaches the right temperature as soon as the water in the outer uten- sil boils.

USES FOR ALUM. A little alum in the water used for washing perspiring hands and feet will alleviate any unpleasantness. Alum is used by an economical housewife who preserves summer fruit with sugar or vinegar. Pickgthe fruits from the stalks and put i bottles. Put on drachm of alum into four gal- lons of water and let it stand till it is cold. Then fill the bottles and fasten them tight. Put them into a copper of cold water and heat to 176 degrees. To Keep Out Moths—To keep them out of the carpet pour strong alum water on floor a foot and a half from the edges before putting down the car- pet.

When sweeper brush bristles hecome soft from long use and do not sweep up lint as well as when stiff, put a little common baking soda in some hot water; take the brush out of the sweeper and dip it up and down in thie. Let it dry in the sun and it will be like new. Hair brushes or any brush can be treated in the same way with the best of results. . . WHEN HAM IS COOKESD, Boiled ham will be more delicate and delicious if it is allowed to cool in the liquor in which it is cooked. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. When travelling if you get a cinder in vour eye, insert a whole flaxseed .. soon as you reach “civiization.” If you gulp down icy drinks when overheatell, then don’t be surprised when you're taken ill. When suffering from indigestion do without food for two days, trying the raisin diet. Don't expect bright eyes and a good complexion if you stay indoors all day. If you use public drinking cups, then expect sore throats and worse. A slice of lemon may be rubbed over the lips if you wish them to be partic- ularly red on some occasion, but the best way to have red lips is to build up the health.. Take plenty of outdoor exercise and sleep, and let nature do her part. If your circulation is good and you are well you will find your lips will be as red as the proverbial cherry. Peroxide will help to whiten the teeth. may keep them so by opening them under cold water every morning when we wash, but cold water is for strong eyes: weak ones should it tepid, with a little boracic powder dissolved there- in. Keep your boracic solution ready miged in a bettle, then you won't have to make it up every day. ICE CREAM AS A FOOD. Tce cream is a real food and not a delicacy only, says the Illinois State College of Agriculture in calling atten- tion to the fact that serving ice cream is one way in which people may re- spond to the appeal to use more milk. As a dessert it is free from the heaviness of some puddings and pas- tries and in nutrition is the equal of many foods considered as staple atti- cles of diet. One quart of ice cream of required standard on an energy basis equals 8.75 pounds of strawberries, 5.11 pounds of bananas, 6.96 pounds of apples, one one and one-half dozen eggs. Give the children plenty of fce cream. But be sure it is pure ice cream. Many families have their own freezers and use ice cream often as dessert. Its cost is no greater than pie or cake. It furnishes nourisbment and helps dispose of the abundant supply of milk now available. THAT KITCHEN WASTE. Poultry is the one class of domestic animal which is suitable for converting the kitchen waste, right where is is produced in the city, into wholesome and nutritious food in the form of eggs and poultry meat. HELPED BY FLAVORING. Many imexpensive articles of food can be made attractive and the diet can be pleasantly varied by a wise use of dif- ferent flavorings. DICTATES OF FASHION. Voile shirtwaist frocks have sashes of self-material, Many jersey dresses are ¥trimmed with heavy Italian lace. Satins promise to be the greatest favorites among silks for fall, A novel trimming for white serge is a checked material. As skirts grow more narrow they naturally grow longer. Chiffon evening gowns are absolutely without trimming. Pink and white striped materials make the most fashionable summer dresses. Some of the prettiest veils are figur- ed and are simply thrown over the hat. The new mushroom hats are very long apt to have heavy wool embroidery. ‘With beige and biscuit colored frocks hats of positive hues are most desir- able, Many of the new fall suits have a high necked vest of the same cloth as the suit with fur collar. Others have tehese vests in contrasting color. TUCKS AND FRILLS. Hand tucking and little rufflings are the cheapest sort of trimming in the world. They cost a deal less than lace and embroidery insertions, vet this Summer théy add a deal more smart- ness to the lingeérie frock. The frock is of organdie, in pure white of some delicate pastel shade, and a multitude WOMAN iN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN | It your eyes are in good order we! and one-half pounds round steak andj of tiny tucks and yards of tiny frill- THE HOUSEWIFE |ings make the most delightful and| Vinegar will soften the. bottle of|Cgmomical trimming One such frock cf p&lut yellow or- gandie has a group of ten pintucks Metal that is wrapped in waxed|running round the skirt at the hipand below the tucks is a narrow pleated Left over vegetables are good uggd frill set on the skirt so that it stands p as it would. from a cuff.

This fresh, dainty summer frock is completed by a sash of pale, yellow ribbon, tied in a big bow at tht back. MOCK SEAM HOSIERY. Of course, every woman knows that a seam up the back of a silk stocking bespeaks the distinction of that stock- ing. Seamed stocking, or, as the man- ufacturer calls them, “full fashioned stockings,” are the aristocrats of hos- iery. One wears seamless hose that are hound to wrinkle at the ankle sooner or later only when compelled by dire necessity. The shops have been flood- ed with seamless stockings of late, be- cause now that'imports from Germany (where stockings used te come from) have ceased, American mills have not been able to turn out superior, full- fashioned hose fast enough to supply the demand. One resourceful woman took a needle and whipped a seam down the back of her despices seamless stocking. Other women followed her bright example. Soon the canny manufacturers discov- ered the clever ruse. Now there are machines that put camouflage seams down the back of cheaper grades of Silk stockings and the new mock seam hosiery, except for a difference of fit at the ankle, looks quite as well as the more expensive sort. PRACTICAL THRIFT, Barley gems are made with two cups barley flour, one teaspoonful salt, one teaspoonful sugar, one egg, one cupful milk and a little vegetable fat. The raising is two teaspoonfuls of baking powder. The most convenient and cheapest of disinfectants to use in the cellar is quicklime. It may be placed in dishes, in bins or cupboards, or scattered loose in dark, damp corners. To make a small portion of mayon- naise dressing go a long way, add it by the teaspoonful to the beaten white of an egg and continue to beat it until all the dressing has been used. Eight teaspoonfuis and the white of oneegg will make enough dressing for chicken salad to serve six persons. FOR FULL FALL WEAR. Among the new early fall wearing apparel an admirable suit of navy blue has been chosen fer illustra- tion, and also a traveling coat. The suit is made on straight lines and has|? no trimming save buttons of the ma- terial, which exiend down each side of the fromt, opened to show a front of white cloth. The collar tabs and cuffs are alsc of white cloth. The coat is held in at the waistline by a narrow sash of the material. The coat is of a long, loose medel of navy blue jersey, trimmed with long arevers, cuffs and pocket flaps of gray Jjersey cloth, LONG SKIRTS APPEARING. The lengthened skirt s stadily making headway, though it is not as yet by any means a dominant note. The extremely narrow skirt is likely to be the longest. These narrow skirts invariably have a tunic or an arrange- ment of panels. One smart frock of grape-tinted hue had a coat-like overdress remind- ing one of a redingote. The narrow underskirt was machine-plaited. The bodice was in crossover efiect, the ends being at either side of the front. The sleeves were long and close-fitting at the upper part and flaring at the wrist. Combinations of wool and satin are very much in vogue this season. One distinctive example was of black satin combined with beige gabardine. The blouse was of the gabardine trimmed with black satin.’ The girdle, revers and cuffs were of satin. VEILS SAVE THE EYES. Veils if of fine mesh are good for the eyes, for they save much irritation on the part of dust and cinders. But, of course, there must be no spots in front of the eyes. CLEAN COFFEE POT. ‘Wash the coffee pot after each using with hot water and no soap. Once in three or four days fill with water and add one teaspoonful of cooking soda. and boil tén minutes; then rinse and boil in clear water. CONCERNING WOMEN. Nine women are members of parlia- ment in Denmark. China had women soldiers long be- fore they were known in Russia. The flax crop in Fife, England, will be harvested exclusively by women. American colleges have offered a hun- dred scholarships to French women. In France the working hours of wom- an munition workers are limited to ten a day. CLIPS ARE USEFUL. Instead of basting long seams, use the little clips used. by business men for holding papers. A few of them piaced along a seam will hold n;ne edges together while it is being stitched. Keep a box in the work basket for such uses. CORK FOR FILLING. Get from your grocers a quantity of grouné cork in which grapés are pack- | ed. With it fill pillows for the porch ang hammock. They are light and finfortable and not injured by storm. ey will not mat and draw dampness as so many fillings do. RECIPES, Baked Winter Squash.—Cut in pleces two inches square, remove seeds and stringy portion, place in a dripping pan, sprinkie with salt and pepper, and allow each square one-haif teaspoon- ful of molasses or sorghum and one- half teaspoonful of melted butter or butter substitute. Bake 50 minutes or until soft, in a moderate oven keeping covered the first half-hour of cooking | Serve in the shell. Cauliflower au Gratin—~Place whole cooked caulifiower in a dish- for serv- ing, cover with erumbs and butter or buter substitute, and place on an oven grate to brown the crumbs. Remove from the oven and pour one cup of thin white sauce around the caulifiower. Views of the Vigilantes PATRIOTEERING. By Booth Tarkington Of The Vigilantes Margaret: Deland, lately returned France, says that over there, not long ago, a company of German prisoners, just captured, were being sent back from the front, when they encountered an ‘American regiment, largely from Wisconsin, moving up to the trenches. Many of the Wisconsin troops were of German eorigin; some among them, in- deed, could hardly speak Bnglish, and the prisoners were astonished to be greeted noisly and garrulously in their own tongue. They were even more as- -tonished at the nature of the com- ments which these strange Germans from America made upon them. In fact, the episode was unamiable.

Words like “dummkopf and “schweinhund™ were employed, with prophetic ex- pletives; and the genera] sense of what the Wisconsin men said to their German cousins was as follows: “Yoy dash-blanked jackasses and idiots, we and our fathers left your old Father- land and went four thousand miles to live in a better place. Now we have come all the way back, four thousand miles again yet, to slaughter you; be- cause you haven't got any more sense than to believe 4nd obey that old pig- dog of a Kaiser!

What man can show enthusiasm for anything, when he is threatened with pumshmem it he {s not enthusiastic? Loyalty is a feel- ing; it is not a spoken word. You cannot possibly produce a beautiful feeling in" any man by threatening him or prosecuting him. Let us not threaten at all, and let us prosecute only when we have evidence. Is it certain evidence that a man is loyal f he have a son in the American No. There were Rebels in ‘83 who had eons in the northern armies. Is it certain evidence that a man is disloyal if he have a son in the German army? No. There were ioyal Union men in 'f4 who had sons fight- ing for the South. So it may be now. There are American citizens who have relatives in the German army and other relatives in the American army. Here and there is an American citizen who has one son in the American and another son in the German Let us go gently with a fel- low citizen who finds himself in such a position. It is a hard enough one, without the additional burden of his neighbors’ suspicions. If his conduct be loyal, then in heaven’s name let us The finest answer Germany has had from any source is the loyalty of the| “German-Americans” to America; and that was the answer of all most galling to Germany. Let us not punish them —now, when their boys are dying in the American cause—let us not punish them for sins that are not tHeirs Let us not patrioleer at their expense. Let us not patrioteer at all. The war is too serious for patrioteering. STORIES OF THE WAR Sir E. Geddes's Story of a Mystery Ship. Sir Eric Geddes, the first Lord of the Admiralty, addressing a large gather- ing of officers and men of the Allied 'orces at the Palace Theatre, said he would tell them a story which had never been told beéfore because it con- earned a ruse of war which up to now had been effectiv But now the Ger- mans knew all about it, and the Ad- miralty were going to tell the public. It was the story of a mystery ship— a decoy, which was one of the oldest ruses of war adapted to modern war- fare. Such a vessel was known in both the British and American serv- ices as a Q. ship. She might be an ordinary old wind-jammer, 6r a col- lier, or a tramp; but she was some- thing more. His story was that of Q-50. A Q. ship looked like a mer- chantman, but on the button being JACK VAN and ELENORE. HITE, the " The Hit of the Seasen! Beautiful Girls! WEEK—MONDAY, SEPT.

You know Oh! touched she Dbecame, with the speed of a quick-change artist, 2 veritable man- of-war. Q-30 was an old collier and sailed with sealed orders, which read:—“Submarines are sinking Brit- | ish and American ships in such and such a position. Proceed there forth- with.” Her crew looked like a mer- chant crew, ard a fairly undisciplined Jot they appeared, but when they got out to sea a change took place in their aspect. It was in the Atlantic at about 11 o'clock on 2 summer morning when a submarine was seen from the Q-50 who started to run away. Her maxi- mum speed was eight knots. Her fires were stoked and volumes of smoke came from her funnel The order was given by her captain to slow down to seven and then to six knots. A gun was fired—a two-and-a- half pounder. The. submarine over- hauled the Q. boat, and shells burst cn her decks, killing and wounding meén. The Q. boat held on, and sig- nalled that a submarine was following and shelling her, that the crew were about to abandon the ship, and asking for help. The signaller in the sub- marine took in the message. An hour and a half passed and the submarine was getting welk within range when a “panic” boat’s crew—a very undisci- plined-looking lot—left the ship, one sailor taking with him a cage with a parrot in it. A shell from ‘the sub- marine struck the poop of the Q ond blew one of the guns and the gun’s ¢rew into the air at a time when tht submarine had only to proceed another 100 yeards and three of the guns of the Q-50 wou!d have been trained .on her at 400 yards range. When it was disclosed that the Q-30 was not what she had preténded to be, but'a fighting smp, the captain signalled to the man- of-war waiting below the horizon, who had apswered his first call for assist- ance, to keep away for the action was not ended. The submarine fired torpedo after torpedo. To allay the suspicions of the Germans the captain of the decoy again gave the signal to abandon ship, and some of the men jumped over- board; but the captain with an officer or two and the picked gun’s crew still remained hidden, and biew off steam to make the submarine’s crew thing that the boiler was holed. Completely deceived, the submarine came up. Then shell after shell was fired at her, and she went down. her end being hastened by the fire from thé warship which had come up. Tht fight lasted from 11 in the morning till about 4 in the afternoon—London Chronicle.
