CIRCULATION WEEK ENDING JAN. 8th, 1921 10,969 A TIMELY DECISION. The board of directors of the state prison have properly sensed the situa- tion prevailing in Connecticut at the present time and given careful attention to the recommendations of Governor Lakeé in his inaugural message. This is clearly demonstrated by their action in Vyoting to postpone submitting a request oto the general assembly for an appro- priation for a pew institution. By its vote the directors found that “the in- terests of the state can be conserved best by withholding pressure” in this direc- tion at this time. Efforts in behalf of a new prisen for the state have been underway for a Rum- ber of years. There have in faet beea purchased 500 aeres of land in the tewn of Granby as the site for a new insti- tution but in view of the heavy eutlay that would be required it was evident from the aetien of the last legislature ia appropriating for more land and an ad- dition to the present institution that thé projected prison was not regarded with favor for some time to come. The con- ditions are no better todgy for putting. a large amount of money inte such an in- stitution than they were two years ago. In some ways they are not as goed and it is evident that the directers of the prison realize that new is not the time for pushing such a prapesitian. That, regardless of the need for a pew prison, cannot fall ta be leoked pan as a sound and sepsible deeision. expenditures down 'te the the state has troyble ahead i getting the revenue to meet them. The diree- ters recognize the eall for om:; Naturally they do not want to go before the legislature with a losing preposition and it will be in keeping with the eon- ditions that prevail today if ethers seek- ing large and unusual eutlays from the legislature this vear take a similar view and withhold their requests untii s more favorable time. _— IN CANAPIAN WILDS, From the stories which have ,eome from Canada coneerning the naval bal- loonists it becomes evident that they have gone through much greater hard- ships than were anticipated since it was disclosed where they were. That they are alive to tell their experiences is prob- ably due to the barking of a dog. Their troubles commenced in the air but they were not immediately relieved after making their landing for being divested of instruments they were handicapped as to their, location and being without fire- arms they Were unable to live off of the country while their foed and clething supply was not what the conditions they eneountered called for. Pushing through a Canadian forest in the search for food and shelter would have been serious enough had all three been able to stand the eenditions with- out weakening, hut the hardships of the siruggle are emphasized by the physi- cal conditions which had to be sur- mounted. The story: has n}l the thrill that goes with northern ~explarations With the added fact that they were lost and without means ef locating help ex- cept luck and the dog. They hawe gone through experiences much worse than was anticipated when searching parties were being- organized to scout the Adirondacks for them and it is gratifying that they are able to make their way out of the wilds. That cne or more of them should be quoted as saying that they want nothing more of that kind af ballooning ean be read- ily appreciated. As the matter stands it does not appear that anything has been sained by this balleoning. expefience Which wasn't previously kmewn. It is true that the men have gene through hardships and made saerifiees But Rpth- ing seeras ts have been @ained by it ex- cept possibly an awakening to the fact that such trips eught net to have been authorized or undertaken under the esn- ditiens this one was at thig season of the year. The aerenauts have made a won- derful fight and they will be warmly wel- comed baek. % & —_— CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION Following every census there arises the question of inereasing the number of representatives in congress by a re- vised apportienment and from the report that has been submitted it is plapned by the' committee to add 48 more in the house, making the. membership 483 in- stead of 435. “That this increase would give the people any better representation or would accomplish any better results can hawdly be anticipated. It simply meang making bigger one branch of the national legislaturd which is already un- wieldy enough, and this is fully recog- nized by the fact that there has beep offered an amendment which will limit the number of members in the house in the future to 500. If apportioned among the states the €8p the|say in Lis own words, bare needs and | gressman Butler of the house committse 48 néw members Would mean ope for cach state, bgt théy will not be distrib- uted that way.

The southern states will get an increase of '13. It is well that the plan suggested does net contemplate the reduction in any state, altheugh un- der previous arrangements there have been both reduetioris and additions. It means, however, that the increases will come from the centérs of population, with these having large representation Fetting an imerease.

DEFYING ALIEN LAW. It was net sb long ago that the asgist- ‘; seeretary of the department .of la ‘Was made the object of an attack by thé American Legion, which organization ught his removal from office because of the stand which he had taken concerning radieals and fer that reason against the interests of the country. It doesa’t ap- Ppear ‘that that appeal bromght any re- Fults, Just what the light was in which it was regarded, the purpose was never ‘ageomplished, . Now charges have been made agamst Assistant Secretary Post in the lower house of eongress to the effect that he is violating the alien law of esuntry by admitting to the country g6 Who do not hold passports and those Who in- tended to violate the passport require- ment. / 3 Perhaps this \is only giving emphasis to the friction which has existe s.énu- ports are true, between the deparffment of labor and the state department for some little time. It at least brings to attention the apparent lack of ceopera- tion that.ought to exist in dealing with such matters. en- Congressman Newton declares that aliens are being permitted to come into- the ‘country by acion of the assist- ant secretary of labor, which aection is agains the law of the country and against the proglamation of the president dealing with this matter it is evident that thé law is useless and in its enforcement an unjust discrimination is being exer- cised. ~Having the matter brought up on the floor of congress may result in a different course being followed concern- ing it than might otherwise be the Certainly with all that is being said about protecting ourselves against the aliens it weuld appearsthat we might as well find eyt whether these whe are un- dertaking to enforee the laws ean be trusted with such a duty, - It is to be realized of course in the case of Mr. Post that it is a matter of only a few weeks now Db¢fore he will relieved of his chances to defy the alien Jaw but that is not a sufficient reasen for’ overlooking misconduct if it can in faet be shown that such exists, NAVAL EXPENDITURES. ‘From ene who has talked ,with him cemes the statement that President-elect Harding is favorable to a big navy. Just what that means i} would perhaps be Dest' to leave for the next president to but when Cen- on naval affairs declares that the pres- ident-elect wants to see the American navy maintained and strengthened until something of a definite nature can be shown regarding the plans for a naval holiday, it indicates what his policy is. Mr. Harding, if the congressman af- ter a conversation of the mast general character presents his views correctly, doesn’t helieve in permitting our first line oI defenise to break down. He rec- ognizes the long seacoast of the coun- try and the problem of defense. He isn't oppesed to disarmament but he deesn’t propose to hait our activities, or the providing of the necessary funds for na- val constriction until there is something more than talk to base it upon. ‘Even with disarmament we must maintaip 2 navy the same as other coun- tries must, but without competing with other ecountrjes for the leadership and thereby without building with supre- macy as the goal. There has been much talk about stopping this cestly competi- tion, about getting an agreement among the three leading nations " in naval equipment to declare a naval holiday with the idea of avoiding such tremen- dous expenditures. Thus far this has all been talk. From certain directions there come faverable incllnatlol\s. From other directions the sentiment is not what eould be eensid- ered lukewarm. It is apparent that there is much-te be done before such a plan, evén thongh it is looked upen with mueh faver, can be put tarough, and.it ean be fully appreciated that until something definite has been aeccomplished it would be most unwise to disregard self protee- tion. That at least is a view that most people will endorse, even though they faver the idea of a naval holiday.

A beefsteak broiled over the live eoals of a dying -wood fire is considered a de- licious treat for the family table. The broiling process seals the pores of the meat and rétains most of the juices and the flavor which are the secrets of an ap- petizing dish. When the meat is placed -1on a heated platter and cut for serving, the rich juiees'run out and make delicious, gravy for petateés er hread. THICKENING LIQUIDS. One level tablespeon of flbur er twe- thirds tablespaen of eormstarch will thicken ene cup of liquid fer eream/seups, Five tablespoons of browned fleur or one and ene-half tablespoens of corn- starch will thicken ene cup of liguid for gravies and sauees. One egg will thicken eéne eup of milk for custard. One tablespoon gelatine will thieken one pint of liquid for small individual molds. One and one-half to two tablespoons of granulated gelatine will thicken one pint of liquid for large molds filled with fruits or vegetables. —— _SOFT BOILEP EGGS. The preper way to eeok a goft boiled egg is te place the egg in a saucepan of eold water and bring it to the beiling point. Then remaove frem the flame and let the egg remajn in the water in o warm plage for two minytes. A perfectly Woft, tender, firm egg will be there sylt, much more delieate by far. If a harder £8E is preferred, merely let the egg remain in the water a few minutes lenger. The secret of properly eooked soft eggs is never to le tthe eggs boil. Bring te the boiling peint, then remove. Of course, if a hard boiled egg is désired, beil for 20 minutes. HEALTH ANP BEAUTY Every pne should drink at least a pint of ‘milk a day, taken either in ¢ooked dishes or instead of coffee or tea. If there i8 & disagreeable odor; the feet should be sponged dpily with a solution of lin (liquor formaldehpde 40 per cent.) one ounce, in water, ene pint. This should dry before puttimg on the steck- ings. A treatment for hard esrns that is said to be generally successful is to meisten the corn with spirits of ammenia after soaking the feet for about ten minutes in warm water. Scrape the edges of the corn, being careful net 1o cut. Rub with vaseline and wrap the toe in a pieee of old linen. Anéther method is te tie & small pleee of lgmon on the eorn, after all loose skin has beén seraped off. The only difficulty * with shamposing the halr at home is the matter of rins- ing. Very few people manage to mat all the soap from the halr; in faet there are many professionals who are either tes careless or toe ymskillful to de this. If, after you have shampooed your hair, yeu find it sticky. or if you see a little gray film along, the edge of your brusgh, yeu will know that all the seap has net been rinsed out and that you are clogging the pores of the hair and really doing a great deal of harm 8y letting it stay in. — DISINFECTANT Few hoysewives know the valup of tur- pentine. It has strong antiseptic prop- erties, anq its frequent use helps to keep dsease away from the house. Never let it become stale, that is thick and yellow looking. f(t should be thin and clear. Ants. flies and even mice hate the odor of turpentine g0 mueh that they will not stay where it is. When shelves in elpsets and wardrobes have been cleaned. wipe them off with a little turpantine. and put it in the eracks and eorners with 2 medieine drapper. Even in bexes and elasets where weel- en elothing is stered. if you will put some turpentine en bleiting paper and put ameng the clethes the meth will give this placs a wide berth. » . TESTING WATER, To tes* water—almest fill a clean pinit bottle with it and add halt a teaspeen of granylated sugar to it. Cork tightly and keep in warm place for twe days. If at the end of that time the water has be- come cleudy er milky, it is ynfit for do- mestic use. e PEARLS, Pearls should receive the greatest care for they may be calcined if exposed te heat and are badly affected by fetld gases, Few seem to know that the more con- stantly a necklace of pearls is worn the better will be the condition of the gems. for there is something about the warmth of the human body that tends to help them retain their luster and fine color. Pearls that have lost color can be re- stored, but the process is not one that can be constantly repeated without detri- ment to the jewels. DIOTATES OF FASHION Phe extremely decollete evening gown has disappeared. Wired tunics of metal lace will worn over satin slips. Tailpred and fluffy ruffies blouses share honors this season. Buckskin gloves are comfertable for outdoor ‘wear. Figured satins are the newest fad for overblouses.

The water should pe gradually heated and the clothes press- ed down and stirred with' a stick, which may be used to life them into the rins- ing water. Most clothes need only about five minutes of actudl bolling; top long boiling tends to yellow the eloth. E — OPPORTNUNITY TO SAVE. One often finds good materials marked down because of an out pf date color which may be just as altractive &8 any of the mere popular shades. Yellow, for Instanees, is not greatly in faver now, and there are lovely yellow ribhons in much better quality th: the popular pinks and blues at the Tmmz price, - So a little daughter can wear yellow ribbong, on her cyrls, just matehing their gold, yellow sashes which will har- monize well with her fair skin. This will give her dress a certain distinction of novelty as well as be eeconomical. Recently one found some beautifyl yel- low silk “ridiculously cheap." Presto! A sunny dining room had yellow draperies to match the white and g8ld china, while yellow cushions, hatmenizing th the ivory furnitire, made the last touch need- ed te make a lovely gubst rgom. / CONCERNING WOMEN.

More than 16 per cent: of the total em- ployes in industrial occupations in Eng9- land are women.

One of the most atrocious massacres in the early part of the kighteenth centyry was that at Deerfield, Mags., on February 28, 1704, when the French and Indians attacked that settlement, murder- ed many of the inhabitants and carried many others away into captivity. Deerfield stood .on a plateau above the .river meadows in the western part of the state, and wa¥ a village of forty- one-houses. In the center of the village ‘was a small, square meeting house about ‘which were several bloek houses. With- in the fort lived some of the principal inhabitants of the place, including John Williams, the minister. He,was married and had eight children, one of whom was absent at the time of the massacre. On the night when Rouville and his band lay hidden ameng the pines, there were in all in the settlement a little less than three hundred souls, of whom two hundred and sixty-eight were in- habitants, twenty were yeomen soldiers of the garrison, two were visitors from Halfitld, and three were colored slaves. Heavy snows had fallen and the river had been frozen to three feet. The in- habitants of Deerfleld had retired early on the eveniful night. The French and Indians crept silently upon the place about two hours before dawn, when the war-whoop was gi and the besiegers assailed the doors of the houses with axes and hatchets, The minister was awakened and in springing out of bed Tre saw dimly a crowd of savages burst- ing through the shattered door. Amid the acreams of his children, three of the party seized Williams and bound him fast, while othérs kilied two of ‘he children and a colored woman named Parthena. They allowed Will- iams, his wife and five remaining chil- dren to dress themselves. Meanwhile other Indians and their allies burst into most of the houses, killed such of the men as resisted, butchered some of the women and echildren, and beund the rest. Some of the villagers es- eaped in the eonfusion, Some of the inhabitants resisted and barricaded themselves Within their hous- . When the ememy tried to break in they dreve them back with loss. Still the firing continued. The Indians had some difficulty in mastering the house of Ensign Jehn Sheldon, for the doér bEing of thick oak plank, and well barred, they could not break it epen. After a time, however, they hacked a hele in it threugh which they fired and killed Mrs. Sheldon as she sat on the edge of a bed. A sop, John Sheldon, escaped from &n upper window, and ran to Hatfleld for aid. The Indians soon got in at the back doar, seized Mercy Sheldon, a little girl of two years, and dashed out her brains on the door stome. Her two brothers, end her sister, Mary, were captured. The hoyse was a short time used as a de- pot for prisoners and here also wa brought the French officer wounded w the attack on the 8 ins house. The sun was cely an hour high When the captives gere conducted geross the river,ta the t of a high hill. In the party was Williams and his house was set on fire. Early in the attack, and while it was yet dark, the light of byrn- ing ‘houses reflected from the fields of ';wv had heen seen at nearby villages. he alérm was sounded, and parties of men, mounted on farm horses, hastened to the rascuf. When the sun was about twe hours high between thirty and foriy of them were gathered in the fortified house of Jonathan Wells, which was al- 30 _full of refugees. The number of captives carried aff were one hundred ajd eleven. The Shel- fion houte Was fired when the French rng Indians were driven out of the vil- lage, but the fire wes extinguished, and “the oid Indian hause,” as it was called, stood till the year 1849. Its a deep- ly scarred with hatchets, and with a hole wuf in the middle, is still preserved in the memorial hall at Deerfiald. The Sheldon house and the church were the only two bulldings in Deerfield that were not destroyed By fire.
