There aré ¢ities no larger than this that are giving a great deal more. In this campaign gifts are sought but it should be fully understood that they are for such an excellent cause that everyone should be anxious te partici- pate therein and give as freely as they are able. If for any reason the organization of the campaign has been such that it has not obtained the good results ex- perienced in others, or if there has been a failure to respond on the part of solicitors, regardless of what the reason may be, those who have not been reached, but who are . interested, should make- it a point of seeing that their checl bills or other contribu- tions ‘are gotten to the Thayer build- ing headquarters foday. Many. have alrcady responded without being ask- ed. Many have been unwilling to take a chance of not beipg included in this worthy cause but there must be a great many more who have been expecting to give but who have not done so and it is this very help that is needed te reach the goal. The Salvation Army is engaged at all times in work that commends it- self. Tt deserves encouragement and support. It mecds the help that will be secured in_this manner for its con- tinuance and extension and Norwich should be anxious to see that the small amount that is asked of it is fully sub- seribed. BUILDING HOUSES.. In connection with the “build now” and “everybody own his own home” campaigns being carried on through- out the country the idea is of course to stimulate building activity and provide the.many houses that are needed to meet the wants of the peo- ple. It is of course a commendable undertaking and should accomplish much if those who are contemplat- ing building or can be interested in i such operations can be convinced of the wisdom of making the investmient | at this time. The situation, bow- | ever, is very likely in many cases toj he similar to the experience of the man who had planned an unpreten- tious home, just the kind that would meet his ideas, however. and the ex- pense of which he could stand if it could be constructed for the figure which he had carefully estimated, but which proved to be too low by eral thousand dollars when it was put eut for bide. Just what effect the plan of stand- ardizing houses so that ready to erect houses may be obtained on a large scale is going to have upon the situa- tion remains to be seen. Such build- ings it is claimed have a great ad- vantage over the individual type be- cause they represent organized con- struction, cooperation against dis- jointed individual effort and stand- ardization against constructional chaos.” It is urged that it is as prac- tical and would be as satisfactory as the ready to wear clothing and would mean the elimination of a lot of waste that is costly. It is not to be sup- posed that all the houses would be of the same style or the same price. There would be a certain number of designs and it can be realized that they would meet requirements of some people seeking homes but it can hard- ly be believed that the method of building that has been pursued in the past will be quickly eliminated. EDITORIAL NOTES. An aviator has recently come within a score or so feet of the altitude rec- ord, but nothing was said about hav- ing encountered or even caught sight of the high cost of living. It is about time of course for com- plaints to be heard about the ]i?‘; amount of dust that is accompanyi the sunshine. Denouncing the profiteers seems to be quite generally indulged in but somehow or other it doesn't have the desired effect. Tt the Germans have made their comments on the treaty so voluminous that they expect still dnother exten- sion of time for the allied representa- tives to read them they might as well understand that it will have no effect upon the ultimate results. There have been no very recent re- minders but it should not e forgotten that a week from today is clection day. Not much has been said about a trial for the ex-emperor of Austria but with the people hissing Charles and his wife it looks like a prolonged pe- tiod of unecasiness for them. If the Robert - O. TFletcher® post, American Legion, lives up to the ex- ample set by the one for whom it is named, it will be a patriotic, loyal, en- thusiastic and busy organization. No organized effort having been started it remains for the individual and tie city to see that the city is given the proper cleaning up that it may be in prescntabic shape for Me- morial day.

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Sandwiches filled with mince meat, onions, celery and pimentos have a salad leaf added. Milk and leafy vegetables are more necessary for health than even a per- fectly varied diet. Your favorite rice pudding will have its richness enhanced by three-fourths of a cupful of coconut. Blankets should always be pulled well down at the foot of the bed and tucked under the mattress. Clean gold with a rag moistened with a mixture of one teaspoonful of am- monia to a cup of water. Newspapers soaked in water for twenty-four hours make an excellent pulp with which to fill cracks. Suet or fat from roasts and steaks should be tried out before it<becomes rancid and clarified if necessary. Brush and air every article that is to be put away for the summer, then wrap up well or, better still, paste the edges securely. Mice detest the odor of camphor and when the mice get’too wise for the traps about the places they come and by renewing once in five or six weeks your troubles will be over. After cleaning brass thoroughly slightly moisten a cloth with sweet oil and rub the brass well. It's especi- ally good in damp weather. SPEAKING OF MOTHS. Certainly the buffalo moth has no match in his attachment to places. When he has once established a habitat there he returns on wing season after season, never mistaking the house. Nothing but the most energetic meas- ures will ever drive this moth awa so it is the part of wisdom to leave no invitations for it around in the shape of wooden articles in. closets. Like all other moths, it likes a dark, warm place in a clothes closet or cupboard. Before putting away winter clothes and furs be careful to air them thor- oughly and hang them out in the sun for a while, too. After sorting over the closets and relining and putting drawers and shelves in order there will be little to do to them when the general cleaning comes; and if the| doors and drawers are kept shut the il i Si W 1t is 2 tr bk one end of the row of smocking. = dust of the general cleaning will not drift into them.

HOSEA. c May 24, 1919. IN THE DAY’'S NEWS Racial Medley of Austria-Hungary. Two new nations, Czecho-Slovakia and the Kingdom of Croats, Serbs and Slovenes (Jugo-Slaviz), have emerg- ed largely from races and territory of Austria-Hungary. Further breaking up of theold dual empire is under discussion at thej peace conference. To understand the causes of these realignments of peo- ples, it is necessary to know the rodge- podge racial content of this polyglot state—always more of a racial reag- ent than a melting pot. _The following is the second of a se- ries of Geographic news bulleting on racial groups of Furope, based on a communication to the National Geo- grapnic Society from Dr. Edwin A. Grosvenor: The Austro-Hungarian monarchy Wwas an anomaly, both as to its system and as to the ethnical composition of its inhabitants. A reference to its method will throw some light upon present and future conditions. ‘Austria-Hungary consisted of two equal and independent parts., Austria and Hungary. In Austria in 1910 there ere 9,500,000 Austrian Germans as 24 4 S r rious races, mainly Slav. In Hungary in 1910 there were 10,051.000 Magyars s against 10,836,000 non-Magyars of various races. “The Germans, though but one-third the population in the one, were dom- inant there and the Magyars, though less than half the population in the other were dominant there. To main. tzin this ascendancy of these two 'mi- norities summed un all the f i eign_policy of Austria-Humgary. »| with the other. To the Austrian es- pecially it was an absolute necessity. The ascendancy of each was to be as- cribed in part to lonz monopoly of power and to superior cleverness in manipulation. “But always it could count on jeal- ousies and divisions among the Slavic subjects, a condition always encourag- ed. More than once the hones of some one of its subject Slavic peoples have approached realization, only te be thwarted by opposition of other Slavs or by its own dissensions. “The disruption of the Anstro-Hun- garian empire left the Magvars nj much the same position as before, but broke Austria into fragments. The; Ausirian Germans still forigai a compact body, but each of the sub- ject Slavic peoples sprang to a realiza- tion of the national idea. ‘“The Germans inhabit a larze ter- ory, exiending from Switz(;rla,nfli south of Bavaria to a little east of Vienna: also a belt of German popu- r t | be forgotten that the word Austrien never was identified with or represent- ed a race.
