The country doesn't want any h situation, and there are the best of reasons for believ- img that it doesn't intend to wreck our Constitution by putting our necks in a Furopean made noose. Senator Harding contin plain that he is tetotall dangerous provisions of to make it opno to the the covenant, | that he will not agree to them, but that he is not opposed to a league or association of fons in which ~ the Constitution of the United States is not nullified. Senator Harding is not op-| posed to any kind of an understanding between natfons, however much there are those who are trying to make the people helieve that he is. He belioves that there should be an understanding, whether ciation or a to encourage better relations between nations and that will discourage or tend to prevent war. Thus while It Is truo that Senator Harding i3 against the Wilson league as it stands It is not true that he is posed to a league that will accomyl the mame purpescs without dangerous entanglements and without making it necessary for our army and navy to be sent to Europe to maintain the boun- daries. And the most determined friends of the leagun are hacking Senator Hard- ing In his stand. pact, N THE BHITISH STRIKE. Because of its far reaching and the fact that it is being corducted | regardless of the advice of lcaders, the strike of the coal miners in England today will be watched from all parts of the world. Hurope has been suffering from a serious coal shortage. It has effects DEGEL, New London.|# {eu to be real-|y only |1 Gl | the deficit in the first six months of pri- | though {other than the government can be held it is called a league, an asso-\alization British mines will therefore be a hard blow not only to British industry and therefore the people but to zIl those who are dependent upon Eritish mines for coal. : Without coal it is mot going to be possbile to do much of snything after = certain time. Miilions will be thrown out of employment by the strike direct- ly and a much greater aumber will made idle because it will be impossible to operate the plants upon which they depend for a living without ecoal. The vote of the miners, however, was in fa- vor of a strike by a heavy majority re- gaglless of advice to the contrary and efforts which have been made to avold it. It was not so long ago that there was a strike on the British railroads. Whether an attempt will be made to handle the coal situation in the manner in which that was remains to be seen but that strike brought forth such gen- eral opposition that there was little dif- ficulty in getting sufficient mew help to soon restore the service. In view of efforts which have been made to adjust the differences, the ad- vice of conservative coal leaders and the burden that is going to be placed upon the people, there appears to be little ground for getting public sympathy and without that the strikers will be de- prived of a powerful assistant. The premier faces no easy task in handling the situation. NOT WORTH THE EXPENSE. When the department of justice des clares that there will be no, further ef- £ made under the fair-price eom- ees after the first of November to g down prices it will be recognized a decision that might just as well ve been made months ago, for quite much as it is claimed that the price drepping will continue under its own momentum it Wil be felt that such ef- forts as the department has made have had little to do with the downward movement. Surely those who have started in on reductions do not attribute it to being forced or to being urged by the department’s workers. which began to riss abnormal- after the sanctioning of the = high for the Louisiana crop, hasn't n guided by fair price efforts.

This likewise seems to be the vie the department also for it now justifies its course by expressing the belief that what has been started will continue without its assistance.

The de- ment, however, plainly indicates further efforts by it would net be the sum it would cost. rth RUNMVING THE RAILROADS.

It thus cannot fail to be realized that much of will lowed, vate operation should have been distrib- uted over the period of government op- eration. The government on taking over the roads did with them just what it had refused the owners to do. It disregard- 1 organization and by the commis- sioners’ figures went into the hole to he tune of almost a billion dollars even government operation was under more favorable conditions than the pre- vious private ownership.

Connecticut should make certain that it has a solid republican delegation in congress for the next two years. There are still :many who haven't been made voters. There is but one day left—tomorrow.

Clean wood ashes make a cheap and excellent cleanser, even for milk pans. Pastry should be rolled lightly that the aif may not be pressed out of it. Immature meat, such as veal, lamb and pork, should be thoroughly cooked. ‘Wilted celery can be crisped by standing in water with a little lemon Juice in it. X ‘Baby's underwear should be iromed on the wrong side as well as on the right. = Powdered orris root under the iron- ing blanket will eertume musling Fn- der ft. To clean zinc wash thoroughly with hot soda water and then rub it.with a flannel dipped in turpentine. ‘When mixing raisin bread add the raising after the flour has been put into the liquid. Trimmings of rib roast and steaks should be saved, rendered and used in- stead of cooking butter. ‘When using pink rhubarb for rhu- barb sherbet do not skin it. 'The des- sert will be a beautiful color.” Orange for marmalade may be made to go further by adding one apple for every orange to the mixture. Separate and wash lettuce as soon as you purchase it. Put in a clean bag on ice to crisp until needed. If layer cakes get hard and stale they have probably been baked too long; twenty minutes in a hot oven is enough. A little smoked halibut cut very thin and served with thin slices of bread and butter is good for a light evening meal. KEROSENE EMULSION. The most reliable remedy with which to combat all sucking insects, such as plant lice, soft-bodied insects, hard-shelled varieties of which the 6cale is most generally seen, and m;.ny others, is “kerosene emulsion.” ou can make this at home in the kitchen, one-quarter pound of melted whale oil 8oap, one pint of ordinary soft soap and two quarts of water. Mix the melted soap and -water togéther, have the water boiling. When lukewarm stir it vigorouslv into the kerosene. Keep up the paddling or stirring at least ten minutes; this is quite neces- sary to get a real mixture which, completed, will be of the consistency of thick eream. This emulsion will keep indefinitely and for soft-bodied insects should be diluted with twenty parts of lukewarm water. Apply this to all foliage, with a sprayer, being careful that it reaches the under surface of the leaves, as this is the favorite habitat of all if- sects. You will probably have to make more than one application. HOW TO WASH W!NDOWS 5 RAPIDLY. A professional house cleaner once told me how to wash my windows eas-| ily and rapidly. Use a piece of chamois skin about fifteen to eighteen inches square. Use warm water, wring out the chamois lightly, and wash over the window.. Then wring the chamois out of water until as dry as possible, and rub over the window. This will take off all moisture, and there will be no lint left. The windows wiil shine, and onée tried, you will never wash your windows by the old way. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Buttermilk is an old fashioned bleach, so is lemon juice, which you must dilute. Use it twice a day and let it stay on the face awhile before washing it off with cold water. A simple way to dispose of a su- perfluous hair is to cover it with par- affin heated slightly. When it cools pull it off and the hdir will comeé with it, though here again it is well to let the oil remain till the skin is softened. Paint the corn or callous every night for a week or 10 days with a solution of 20 grains of salicylic acid in half} an ounce of flexible collodion. It is better to give the foot a hot soaking first and then dry it thoroughly before applying the solution. Shampoo your hair regularly and keep it soft and fluffy; keep your nails manicured and your skin clean and free from blemishes. Dress your hair becomingly, use powder and rouge with discretion, and, above all do not worry - fret and fume over trifles. Whether your hair is light or dark, you will find the following home made shampoo invaluable for cleansing and for food properties: One egg yolk (beaten); borax, one ounce; lemon juice, one teaspoonful; alcohol, one ounce: castile soap, one cake. Melt all together in a double boiler and & quart 6 hot water. This quantity wiil be sufficient to last for several shampoo- ing rites. FLOWER DECORATIONS. Here is an economical yet very pret- ty way of making a dozen carnations decorate as effectively as several doz- en. Make a pyramid about ten inches high in the center of the table by set- ting different sized bowls one within another, using tall, plain glass vase for the core of the pyramid. Fill all with water and entirely conceal the bowls and vase with such greenery as ferns, asparagus, plumosus, smilax, ever- green, two leafed Solomon’s seal or privet to form a solid pyramid, then| thrust a dozen pink or red carnations into it at various angles and the result will be quite charming. . Pink carna- tions are pretty in the daytime, while red ones glow attractively in the even- ing when artificial light is used. THE BUSINESS GIRL. Tt is not every one who has the time or opportunity to take an afternoon nap, but every girl, no matter how crowded her hours may be may at least enjoy “forty winks” even while at her desk. Just. close the eyes, throw the head back and for a few minutes completely relax. It is not necessary actually to sleep; just rest the brain and mind for a few minutes, and it is surprising how refreshed you will feel. Far from losing time from your work, you will find that you will actually feel like doing more and will accomplish it with-much less effort. WORTH KNOWING. If meat or poultry have become fro- zen do not thaw out too quickly. Let them hang in a cool place overnight, or if you cannot do this put it in a pan of cold water and in this way it will thaw without losing any of its: flavor. § DICTATES OF FASHION. | i Afternoon dresses have very short! sleeves. Suit coats are lined with bright printed tussah. plain goods. Big gal with brilliantly embroidered black net. Full overskirts made of looped drap- eries are seen on fall models.

Bead work is seen on every type of garment, some of the evening gowns shown being composed of fringes of crystal tubes almost en- tirely covering the satin underslip of some contrasting color.

The dress artists in Paris are show- ing some exceadingly smart blouses in silk voile, linen and crepe de chine, the same color as the coat with which they are worn—rust red, navy, pale gray—the uniformity of tint These biouses short are exactly or skirt is exceedingly distinguished, though at first our unaccustomed eyes seem to demand a “touch of white.” too emall to be longer MAKING SOAP.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Btreet Priivieges. Mr. Editor: Street speaking and publie assemblage were denied in New London for some time past as in our city, butall bans there have been removed and priv- ileges there restored to anyone who wishes to use them. At Mt Vernon. N. Y.. under similar circumstances, several persons there were arrested for street speaking and -Supreme Court Judge Keough declared the ordinance unconsti- tutional and ordered the releass of those arrested. Those two reversals simply prove that people of other towna who have thought more seriously than A Citi- zen have changed their minds and want to rectify matters. The Rotary club sent a band on the street last week and collected a crowd on Ferry street. The “human fly” climbed the walls of the Wauregan hotel and caused a crowd to gather. The republi- can town committee sent a band on the street znd gathered a crowd that blocked the street the same night Mr. Boardman was arrested; Yet no one was arrested, criticized or even blamed for the ob- struction of the highways which seems to be the cloak under which he was ar- rested. The parking privileges\ of Mr. Board- man are the same as those granted any citizen and he has legal right to use those privileges. Ferry street is a pullic parking plaee, without a time limit after 7 p. m. Why did he not have a right there? Mr. Boardman was not billed or advertised to speak on Ferry street Tueeday night, so there was no reason for his arrest whatever. He was simply on the street and he was not wanted there. If'it is illegal for a erowd to gather on the street why did the police allow thein to gather? Why didn't the police make a single move to disperse the crowd at Ferry street long before Mr. Boardman arrived there? ‘Why was no one arrested for the gath- ering in front of the Wauregan hotel the same night? Both the band leader and the chairman of the republic town com- mittee were on the job and neithar one was arrested or reprimanded, which goes to show that the law_ is only intended for a certain case and person. A Citizen says if Mr. Boardman had a theory to reach the moon he would have no right to demonstrate it here. The citizens of Norwich would turn the town loose to him if he had & practieal theory of this magnitude and A Citizen and the mayor would be very umpopular opposi- tionists if that was their stand. |~ 'Some of the highest ofictals of our na- tion were defled and impeached.l aws have lbezn placed under restraint by injunetion even in our own city recently by Judge Hinman ; Judge Keough denied and defied the authority of the mayor of Mt. Vernon, N. Y., this week. The people of Boston defied With violence the king of England in what is known as the Boston Tea Party, which defle resulted in the Revo- lutionary war and our independence and the constitution of the United States of America, and since then no one dares question their rights. Hence deflanee is not wrong when the deflers are legally right. There is no one who respects the rights of the mayor more than I would, there is no one who would respect the orders of a police officer In rightful per- formance of his duty; but I do think they should both live within their rights and neither should make laws nor issue orders that are beyond their rights, and if so defiance is justifiable. Mr. Boardman was arrested and fined for refusing to obey an order from policeman to meve his automobile from a place where he had every right te park it by the laws of our elty. If A Citizen would give this one matter a simple thought, there should be no rea- son for further parley on whether the arrest was right or wrong. If A Citizen would only give this mat. |ter ome fair, square, hovest, unbiased thought, he cannot as a sane person wp- hold such action on the part of the offi- clals.
