Whatever effect the peace talk may bave had upon the fourth Liberty joan it is quite evident, if we are to judge by the returms which have Been tabulated ond by the subscrip- tions which are known to have been made, that it was not sufficient to de- feat establishment of a world rec- oating a bond issue. Tt wiil 1 days in all probability be- actually known just what subscription is. e time which is required by e banks to figure up th 1 report it to the fedcral reserve titutions and it is the time required in that work which has made it im- possible in gvery ioan to let it be known from day to day just what up-to-the-minute progress had been made. 1 nnouncements put out 1de the accomplishments 2¢ and in some instance the 48 previous thereto, t the loan has gone over the is Mors Precious than Peace” Tesents th business there ¢an be no guestion but What it is fully needed. But the lifting o: the ban does not mean that we éan now go ahead and burn all the gasolene that can be purchased. There is still need of conservation in this direction, and now the fuel administrator leaves it to the people to determine for themselves where this saving shall be made and whére it can be fone with the least inconveniencs to them. There are many ways such as the elimination of the auto driving wherever it i not jmportaht, whether on Sunday or other days, by the shutting off of motors when cars are not in motien and by sestricting con- sumption to the actual meeds. Whether it will be necessary to attembdt any new regulations will be determinéd to a large extent by the response. that is made, although the approach . of cold weather is bound to mean quite a reduction in certain directions. e il ST Bt ONLY WEATHER CAN STOP AD- VANCE, No let up whatever is being shown iy the alled forces in their pressure on the Teutonic armies. All aiong the entire line they are gzoing forward whether opposition is being experi- enced or not. Such rear guard resist- ance as is being offered is apparently lieing attempted simply for the pur- rose of obstructing the allies in the advance, but even then it s amounting to little while such counter attacks as are being made are accom- plishing nothing. The latter are tak- ing place at points where the enemy is especially hard pressed and where it is vital that the advance of ten- ¢ral Foch’'s men shall be impeded as much as possible in order to pro- withdrawai from dangerous positions in which they have been placed by the alfied advance. The evacuation of the Belgjan coast has been completed after several days effort but not without the logs of a number of {housands of prisoners and the driving of a much larger number across the Dutch border into Holland where they must be interned for the period of the war. In thiz part of the battleflield the Belgians with the French and British are fast closing in on Ghent, while further south Tour- nai is being pocketed much as was Tille while at™ Valenciennes the al- lies are well to the south of that im- portant point and rapidly approach- ing it. The situation is much the same to the north of Verdun although the massing of the enemy forces there makes progress slower. Thus whether they are willing or not the Germans are being made t give up each day a certdin portion of northern France and Belgtum and from present indications only the set- ting in of winter will prevent the al- lies from keeping up their advance indefinitely. Germany is in fact, be- ing driven so fast that it cannot per- mit any lagging beyond a certain point. . THE NEED FOR SHIPS. How great the need is for not only maintaining our shipyard activities at the highest pitch but increasing them wherever it is possible is shown by the recent statement of Sir Eric top by a large margin is confidently telieved and it shows that the people are not only appreciative of the op- portunity of coming to the aid of their country in a time of need but that they recognized the svundness of the investment which was offered to them. They likewise showed that they fully understood the necessity of do- irg their part, that they must fight with their dollars even as their rep- reseniatives in Europe ars success- fully fighting with bullets, and after the magnificent manner in which they have responded there can be no ques- but what they can face without cing the boys in khaki and blue as they return from the battioflelds on and and sea. It was a glorious out- ceme of a tremendous undertaking and Norwich along with the count be corfmended in i m the terms w! e peace propos tion from Ger- it was quite evident that that ntry hoped to securé a large dis- on_the unconditional surrender exacted from Bulgaria. It ceed and by no hook or t be allowed to. simil lines ary made like proposals to entente nations through President son, even agreeing to the terms which he put forth insisting upon the extension of autonomy to the peoples of the dual monarchy. That means 4 concession on the part of that empire was made with the idea in v of saving the face of the exist- zovernment so far as possible. Aus- e reply wh the Unfted £ < has made to Austria that gov- ernment must re: e that there is little chance of escapirg from the penaity which it cannot fail to see isoming up in the distance, and which arows more distinct each day. Where » for the president to h terms some months ago it ot fail to recognize that condi- have changed and the fact that lHe Czecho-Slovaks have been recog- fized as a belligerent nation means Mat they must. be given their {nde- pendence. The offer’ of autonomy which has been made will not do and tmere can be no thought of an armis- e until these people, as well as oth- ers who are deserving to be freed from the yoke of the Hapsburg rule, ure given what belongs to them. The pfegident by his note has not ended negotiations but he has told Austria- what must be done befors can be any letting up in the war activity, SAVING GASOLENE. Although the reqyest that there be 76 zasolene used on Suncay mad been récalled, so that it was possible for edach and everyone owning a car and being so disposed to drive his ma- chine yesterday, the weatherman by furnishing a cool, gray day unques- tionably gave much assistance to the pian of reducing consumption, for while there were many autos. in use the rumber was far less than it would five been had it been a bright sun- ghiny October day. The saving there- fore must have been considerable in guch sections as the®threatening con- ditions prevailed. When it is estimated that were a million barrels of saved as the result of the giving up of the unnecessary auto ing on Sunday, it can be appreciated that most valuable service has been ren- dered to the government. It makes ayailable for war work just that much more of the needed fluid and frem the statements which have been made “ there gasolene Geddes who pointed out that Germany Is in all probability planning upon the waging of a more determined U-boat compaign which of course could be expected to reduce the number of war ships as well as merchant :csseis. But it is perfectly evident. . even though there shouid be by any chance alettingupin the submarine warfare, (hat the number of merchant vessels which are today available is far from sufficient to take care of the needs of the country. We have always been far behind in our merchant marine and while we have béen producing a large number of ships we are finding use for all that can be gotten into commission in carrying on the war work of the country. How this is affecting our foreign trade, whieh, of course must come second to our war activities, is pret- ty clearly disclosed by the statement to the effect that there iz merchan- dise to a value of approximately $15,- 000,000 in the warehouses of New York awaiting transportation to Bra- zil because there are no ships in which to carry it, there having been but 20 steamers in the past three months engaged in that trade and fully half of those have been Brazil-| ian ships. This makes it evident that no mat- ter if the war should end tomorrow the shipyards of the country are bound to bé kept going to the full ca- pacity for a long time to come, ani such increases in ship production as are beinz made are still far hehind the requirements. We still need ships, ships and more ships; EDITORIAL NOTES. Turkey of course expects to get it in the neck around Thanksgiving time No one can tell the Belgians any- thing about the horrors committed by the Huns, It cannot be expected, however much one might wish it, that Indian summer will last all winter, The man on the cornes says: A lit- tle more of this weather and it will be possible to leave off the summer furs. The time is approaching rapldly when German control in the dual mon- archy is going to be a matter of memory. Even the German prisoners in this vountry know the full meaning of bonds when the word Liberty appears in front. The Hohenzollerns may never have been rated as low in Germany as they are today but it,is a sure tip that they are going lower. We will have to have some evidence of it before we can belisve that Ger- many is going to abandon its ruth-j less submarine warfare. The bolsheviki as well ag the Teu- tons are finding out that when the Americans start an attack it invari- ably results in a smash. The German armies are moving fast, and if Ludendorff could only express his mind they are being forced back- ward faster than they like to go. When the people of Norwich settied down to business they found no great difficulty in pushing the loan over the top. It certainly was a magnificent finish. French cities of course mean only the best but they better put their money into war work rather than me- morials to America just now. There will be plenty of time for the memor- ials later. Report now comes that an another attempt has been made upon the life of Lenine. From the way in which he is being misséd Lenine must real- ize that he isn't half as big as he thinks he is. tect the main forees and permit the - : NORWICH BULLETIN, MONDAY, OCTOBEX 21, 1918 WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEW/IFE All cooked food should be thorough< ly cooled before placing In the 1cebox. Ammonia wiil remove machire oil. Melted tallow will remove ink stains. When cotl is red hot it has parted with most of its heat. Table napkins and tablecloths should never be starched, Paste the oiicloth on the kitchen ta- ble; it will be much smoother. Convenient for cleaning skillets 1s a small broom made of stiff wire. Grass stains can be removed from cotton goods by washing in aicohol. The inside of a tea or coffes pot siiould not be washed with soapsuds. To remove ink stains on books, oxalic acid diluted with water s ex- cellent. To stop a leak, mix whiting and vellow soap into a thick paste with a Iittle water. All vegetables which are grown un- der the ground should be cooked with the lid on, A small piece of camphor put into the bowl of a lamp with the oil will improve the light. A cup of liguid is all the cup will hiold; a spoon of liquid is all the spoon will hold. Remnants of fat, cooked or uncook- ed, should be saved, cooked together and clarified. One pound of epsom salts put into the hot bath will reduce weight and relieve rheumatism. The trimmings which the butcher cuts off the roast will make very gocd foundation for tomato soup. WARNING TO MOTORIST. For the benefit of feminine automo- bile users we repeat the warning not to run an internal combnstion motor in a closed garage under any circum- stances. Contrary to the seneral im- ression, the gas that produces suct dden and fatal result has no odor whatever, and a surprisingly small percentage of the gas is fatal. More- over, in mest cases the gas gives abso- lutely no warning of its presence and the victim has no chance, th2 first sign of its presence being a suddcn, total and helpless collapse. APPLE BUTTER. Peel and slice tart apples and add enough water to make a thin appie sauce. Simmer for three or four hours, stirring frequently. Sugar white or brown, molasses or syrup majy be added for sweetening, using two cups to each gallon of the butter. Spices to taste are stirred tutter, when it is done. % ture is one-half teaspoen ground cinnamon, cloves and al C to each gallon of huttar.

DICTATES OF FASHION. Cotton voile has such an obliging way of serving for almost any occa- sion. & 2 Bolaro stvles are very becoming to smail women as w2l as to young girls. Lingerie with nemstitching and tiny sclf-ruffles is in excellent taste al- ways. A cloth or satin cape will take the place almost of a summer fur necklace. A girl's corset iz more important than any other item in her wardrobe. Color is more fashionable than ever tefore in the clothing of even little tabies. Stowly but surely the high French heel ig giving way to the sensible mili. tary heel A pgood voile waist has a squage tucked collar and a front panel of horizontal tucks. Some of the most charming of pres- ent day garments are the little bibbed aprons, Speaking of muffs, they run the gamut from the small barrel shape to the large luxurious sizes. In the same way some scarfs are Iong, while the small neckpiece is just as much in evidence as ever. Every woman, whatever her type, will find no difficulty in finding furs that are just the suitable setting for Ler particular type of beauty. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. One of the most unwholesome and disfiguring habits is the biting of the nails and chewing the too, are represented, dren, young girls and older women are among the frequent offenders. Chewing the lips, extracting Dbits of skin from the lips, or biting them is a habit which tends to disfigure the mouth by making it larger and pulling it out of shape. Thus the ex- pression of the face changes. for the worge. This habit is easily aecquired and grows apace. Some persons im- mediately start’ to bit their lips as soon as they are engrossed in a hook or with wovk in hand. Facial distor- tions are often grotesque, though the offender is totally uneonseicus of the attention he is attractingz, While this practice of drawing the lips about does not improve the face, it is not in the same class with biting the nails, which adwits thousands of germs directly into the mouth, thence to the stomach and intestines, and so on into the blood. It you have been taking cold plung- es or showers all summer, don't stop them now because it is getting fallish and cold. Keep yourself hard, and nothing will help you more than the cold water bath’the year around. TO STIFFEN RUG. A soft, curled edge may be made stiff and new looking by placing a damp cloth underneath the rug and another one on top and pressing with a hot iron. The result is a flat, “stiff- as-when-new" rug. Do not let a leaky bottle spoil your things when traveling. Slip a . finger from an old kid glove over the cork and neck of the bottle, tie or fasten it around the neck with a rubber band and you will find things don't “spill out.” One way to lengthen the lfe of lineoleum is to mix the warm suds and cooked starch that are jeft over on i wash day and use them to mop up the linoleum. Thig not only preserves it but gives it a gloss 2s when new. HOMEMADE CABINET. “This is a very handy arrangement for a cottage or eamp. First have a table built about 4 feet wide by 5 feet long, putting cleats underneath to support a shelf on which to keep pots and pans. Then secure from your grocer six boxes of umiform size and nail them tpgether firmly, nailing the bottom ones to the table. Hang cur- tains along the fromt and vou will have a useful kitchen scabinet. BATHROOM WALLS. To those who have painted walls in their bathroom. After one has takem a hot bath the room is full of steam. It the walls are wiped down with a cloth or clean mop it saves boih labor and time and makes them look much bet- ter than the crdinary scrub. AVOID PLUMER'S BILL. Once a morth in the evening pour a cupful of kerusene down, the sink. next morning pour down two gallons of boiling water. The kerosene cuts any possible grease from ‘he sides of the exhatise pipe and the boiling wa- ter dissolves and washes it Cown, thus m‘;vmung the pipe from being stop- ped up. GARE WITH COLOR: Lovers of color should be careful how they use it in their hcuses. Rath- er than have each room in one colér —red, blue, green or brown—opening out of each other, and thereby ereat- ing no end of clash, it is much bet- ter to have neutral walls and rugs and develop the bright or unmistak- able color in the hengings. uphol- steries and accessories. A room may be just as blue with walls of eream or,gray and a rug of neutral tone and biue hangings and accesories; and it looks much beiter opening into the next - room, where the rolor dispe- sition is managed in the same way, though the color may be entirely dif: ferent. The two color scremes are bound togéther by identically treated walls. BUTTER ECONOMY. To make two pounds of butter from one pound dissolve two teaspoons of gelatin in two tablespoons of culd wa- ter. Take the cream of ome quart Of milk and add sufficient milk to make one pint of liquid. Heat and add to the gelatin, stirring to dissolve well. Strain through a thin cloth. Allew to cool until lukewarm. Place the buttéer (of the same temperature’ in o mix- ing bowl; add the milk gradnally and cne teaspoon of sait. Beat until all the liquid is taken up and until the butter is smooth. If it is too lizht in color add one capsule of coloring. TO CLARIFY DRIPPING. To clarify dripping that comes from the meat put it into a pan and pour on sufficient boiling water to cuver. Stir thoroughly and leave to cOOl, Whe the clear white dripping will form a solid lump on the top. LAUNDRY HINTS. Sprinkling clothes by means of a brush dampens them more evenly than by hand. Very little bluing ghould be used in washing laces, because the lace ab- sorbs a great deal of blue. After your blankets have been wash- ed and dried thoroughly, beat them vigorously with a carpet beater. This makes the wool light and soft, and gives the blankets a new, fresh ap- pearance. The collars and cuffs of a silk blouse often become gofled long hefore the reaot _of the blouse needs washing. €lean them with a soft rag dipped in gasoline. Turn the rag as soon as it pecomes dirty. Dust satin carefully, spread it smooth on flat surface and apply with a hrush or piece of flannal a cold strong infusion of bleck tea. Or wash it in gasoline, dipping it up and down anqd rubbinz it lightly betweéen the fingers. Take care not to crease fab- ric. This removes dirt quickly .and does not cause color to run. SEWING SCREEN, A convenient piece of furniture for the sewing room is a sewing screen If the house is not large enough to permit of setting aside one room for this a sewing screen is still greater convenience. It may be used in any room. It is well to have a carpenter make the frame, though anyone handy with tools would find it no great task. A three ply screen is a -convenient size and it should be low, so that alil its contents may be within easy reach of milady, who sits in a low chair to sew. The ecreen may be covered with cre- tonne to match the hangings in one's room if desired. It will then seem to take less space in a small apartment, as it will fall in line with other fur- nishings. It is well to cover the frame with a flat layer of cretonne on each side of each section, reaching to within six_inches of the floor. Tack this cover on securely with small brass headed tacks. Then make ever so many pockeis of various sizes and fasten them securely. They will hold threag and many small needed articles. Larger pockets will be use- ful for holding pieces of work. The pockets, of course, should be cut iarger than the space which they are to cover and be cither gathered or plaited on. It is a good scheme to use a narrow elastic as a running string for the tops. It gives a tidier appearance, especially when the pockets are well 4lled.

The sewing screen should be light,. but broadly built enough so it will stand firm. 1t may be moved about at will and, as the pockets are all on one side it may when not in use be set with that side out of sight, to present a neat appearance, no matter how full of work the pockets may be. PRESERVE PARSLEY. Before the frost sets in gather the parsley and tie it in small bunches with a strong white string; then place them in A preserving jar with layers of salt between. One of these bunches gives an excel- lent flavor to plain beef broth or any kind of soup. They are removed be- fore serving. Care must be taken in salting the soup. CONCERNING WOMEN. White Plains, N, Y, has a woman fuel administrator. Over 30,000 women on Austria are members of trades unions. Drinking among women in Great Britain, has decreased 73 per cent, in the last three years. Eunice Futterer, the girl evangelist has been preaching since she was years of age. About one-third of the women phy- sicians in the United States have reg- istered for war work FOR CUSHIONS. The sood parts of a discarded mat- | tress may be used by <utting into squares, covering with cretone or other cloth and using as chair and window seat cushions. A SUBSTITUTE.
