In view of the charaeter of the build- ing thers can be no objection to the ac- oeptance of it other than that which might come from seemingly placing the government. under obligation to Mr. Mor- gan, oné of the country's big financial men.

But in connection with the aceeptance of the Morgan offer there was also put forth the proposition of purchasing an embassy in Paris for $150,000 which under nermal conditions ‘would cost a half millien. The favorable rate of exchange encourages action of this kind right away, and inasmuch as favorable rates of exchange make it ad- visable in regard to Paris the same ought to hold good relative to other countrics.

This proposed bill is the result of much udy which has been given to the con- ons that prevall today and those which are sought.

Tnder the provisions of the bill there would be eleven departments alphabeti- cally arranged to include agriculture, sanking, education, highways, insurance, ‘abor and industries, public health, public welfare, public works and buildings, rey- enue and taxation and motor vehicles. From such a' consolidation it would prebably be possfble to eliminate mueh *f the expense since it could hardly be sxpected that what is being paid to the many would be handed over to the few. It means a radical departure because it will not only end the jobs of many but climinate the possibility in the future, for the departments are o arranged that they can take eare of most any new mat- ters without additional expense. That It may be found advisable to chahge serne of the provisiens and to fix salaries in aceord with the importance of the de- partment is quite liksly but in the inter- est of bettering the conduct of the busi- ness of the state the propvsed dM s Ymed in the right direction. conditions could just as well wait, but it will be only by taking advantage of pres- ent eonditions that the purchases can be made at such a low figure.

There is hardly a state where the problems of the trolley roads have not raised a serious question regarding their future, and in many in- stances no definite solution has been reached. It is quite natural therefore that legislatures in session at the pres- ent time should be called upon to give much attention to providing ‘relief meag- ures. In New York, however, the sit- uation appears te have developed into a hot contest with political tendencies on the side anfl it remains to be seen whether New York city is prepared to give honest consideration to the difficul- ties which nead adjusting. Transportation conditiong in New York city have been made much worse by the refusal of the city administration to take into eonsideration the conditions which | have prevailed and give its assistance to help overcome them. Instead of lending itg assistance to the existing transit com- panies it has fought them, favored the establishment of bus lines and aven now the head of the eity government has rec- ommended to the legisiature that the city be authorized to duild and operate omni- buses, which weould not only provide un- fair competition for the transportation lines, which in fact the city itself js al- ready deeply intcvested in, but would serve to increase the congestion of streets ‘Where the traffie is already bad enough. The new governor of New York state has invited much eriticism dy propesing that there sheuld De an investigation to determine what is needed to overcome the present conditions, instead of resorting to other methods which at their best ean only be regarded ag patchwork. His pur- pose is to get to bedrock, to bar polities from it, to deal wit hthe situation hon- astly and squarely and to get a grasp of the situation that woald make it pessible to proceed intelligently. B New York city has come so far from solving its transpotaticn troobles that when it goes to the legislature it shopld be in the position to put forth unpreju- diced facts or be willing that they should be obiatned. TIf that eity. can be put in 2 position to have its transportation fa- ciilties handled to the best advantage it ought to support such a project. CUTTING RATLROAD WAGES. Under the readjustments whickr are being made in industrial lines attemtion carnot fail to be attracted by the step which has been taken hy (e railroads to decrease their expenses unler decreased brsiness, and the indicatel move en the part of a small southern railroad ‘o ex- #end this to the matter of wages as weit #s a curtailment of emplorcs and service. That the Atlanta, Birmisgham and At- Jantic road either desiicl to find out what the method of proceedute should be uzder the existing transnestation laws, or failed to properly inform ftself is indi- cated hy the means it towk 10 put the re- duction of wages into effex'. There was a time when the posting of a motice to that effect might have béen sufficient, but under the railroad law today it is necessary to go at the reduction of wages quite as methodically as the increasing of wages. Thig it didn’t do but it has since learned from the railway labor board that no other course is possible. Whether this is the beginning of a general move in that direction is prob- lematical but it is consistent that the roads should be as fair with the men as they expect the men under the law to be with them. When demands for wage in- creascs are put forth they must go to the rallroads and if it is impossible to ngree appeal can be taken to the federal board. Similarly the roads should notity the men of the proposed reduction, pre- rent the reasons for the change and if :t Is impossible to bring about an accept- ance or a ncw agreement the matter ean he taken up with the labor board. The purpore is of course to safeguard the in- terests of all concerned, to protect the employe and the employer and to prevent the country from suffering the effects of ansportation tieups due to the employ- ment of forve through strikes and loek- outs. The complieation will have its com.' pensation if it is productive of petter un- derstanding and the elimiration of trom- ble, EDITORIAL NOTES.

In most 211 lines of business in this part of the country efforts are made to get out and hustle for orders, to set forth the merits of the product, to let it be known that it ig of high quality and that there is a willingness to serve the trade. That applies, however, meore to the producers of other than agricultaral products. It is seldom that efforts are put forth to urge the gale of Connecticut apples and other fruit or that any great attention is given to supplying the mar- ket with New Englanq prodwets and mek- Ing a point of calling to the attention of the buying public.

Keep a magnet in your hook and-eye box and reject any hook or eye that the magnet will pick up. That shows that it will rust. i PASTRY HINTS. Rub a little flour on a pastry board or magic cover, which is a heavy piece of nailcloth. The dough is less likely to stick to this heavy cloth than to any- thing else, even a marble slab. Use a wooden rolling pin that revolves on a rod, with a handle at either end. Do not try to make pastry with a pin that has no handles or one with the handles in one piece with the pin. A knitted cover for the rolling’ pin helps to keep the dough frem sticking. Rub a little flour over the pin. Take out enough dough for the under crust of a pie and knead slightly. Pat the dough gently with the rolling pin. holding it by the two handles and letting -the weight of the pin flatten out the pastry as it is liften and dropped down. When it is about one-half inch thick lift pastry carefully and quickly to be sure it is not sticking to the cloth, then put it down again and begin to roll Roll from you at first, lift the pin when it gets to the end of the dough and bring it back to its starting place each time. Do not roll back and forth.” Then roll toward yourself, lifting the pin each time it gets to the end of the dough. Let the pin ge- volve all the itme on its central axis, ‘This gives a light touch essential for the making of good pastry. PASTRY SHELLS. Bake pastry in or on the outside of muffin pans and fill these shells with jam, preserves or well-sweetened stewed fruit. With or without the addition of whipped cream these form a delicious dessert. ese shells may be filled with cream- ed chicken, creamed peas or -other creamed vegetabls, adding an attractive dish for another meal. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. When giving sticky medicine to chil- dren, heat the spoon by dipping it in hot water; thén pour in the medicine and it will slip easily fr6m the spoon. Painful bunions and corns may be helped by -nightly applications of iodine and the wearing of easy shoes. If you have perspiring feet, bathe them -in warm water with a little ammonia added. Straws may be used when giving liquids to sick children when they cannot be moved.,Glass tubes are easily broken, but a bundle ‘of straws such as used at soda fountains may be purchased at small cost. The acid in apples and pineapples aids In the digestion 'of bacon, ham, pork shops and roast pork; cranberry sauce or fruit jellies harmonize with dishes of poultry, while mint sauces or apple mint jelly is appropriate with lamb, especially When roasted.

February and March are in many sec- tions the most disagreeable months of the year; and it is not too late now to add a few new warm outer garments to the wardrobe of the younger members of the family. Wool cap and scarf sets are both practical and smart, and the great- est possible individuallty may be express- ed in their making if a lit'le thought is put into the task. Striped, plaid and gay colored sets of fleecy angora, fringe and tassel trimmed, have beén popular wtih wcmen for two or three seasons ,Gf course, these are often children, but the smartest sets for the. youngsters are either those made of plain angora cloth and trimmed with heavy wool o6r angora embroidery in nevel motifs else the sets that are knitted or crocheted in gay colors, contrasting color being used for frinfe, tassel and pompon. . In the range of sets made of fabric and embroidery trimmed, one recently seen made of a heavy soft wool fabric had the little eap with tam crown equipped. with & visor back and front, and there were little ear muffs that could be pulled down when needed or folded up inside the cap wheii not in use.

One- half of the lies that are being told of Ire- land .and the Irish are not true. If one-half of them were true we would be led to believe that the Irish fought out the Revolution to a finish, alss the Civil war, the Spanish war for Cubs and the recent World's war. A writer today has ! it that “we saved England from a nice trimming”—(he Irish of coarse). We all know that Sinn Fein, Ireland, was on the side of our enemies and giving them all the aid and comfort they dared to, and that openly. A Norwich veteran says perhaps we—that is America—had no business to interfere in Europe. Well —some did think so, prominently the Sinn Feiners and their friends of Irish freedom. But let us remember that the U. 8. government did not ask us for our opinion. The government numbered us— put the numbers in a box, and as a draw- ing if our number camé out, we had to shoulder a rausket ard start for France, if we were fit. Sinn Fein Ireland was ex- cused from the draft, when Scotland and | England submitted, and their thanks for this concession in their favor is shown in their midnight murders and assassi- nations of government officials. There 1s where the British government made 1ts mistake. - A strange speaRer in Norwich cites the case of a Presbyterian minister now un- der arrest for some alleged participation in polities—what, not stated. We ven- ture to say that Mr. Irwin is not in jall for building churches—one black Protest- ant” sféep in a flock of ten thousand would count for a good deal & Sinn Fein statistics, of course, and it is notable that the only man who has yet suffered the death penalty for treason, was Sir Roger Casement—a Protestant Ulster- man—notwithstanding, hundreds of po- litemen and other officials have been foully slain by assassins in masks. There is no comparison between these Irish as- sastins and the fathers of our. Ravolu- ti#®_nor between them and the Ulster Volunteers, of Carson, eévery man of which was true and heroic {0 the core; and they #aved the honor of Ireland in volunteering in squads to fight the ‘World's war when Sinn Feiners were cheering the German victories. We are Jiving in times we know of. Let us not be fooled with false informations. A LEGGIN. FICHUS ARE BACK WITH US Fichus are the important new note in- dicated by advance spring dress modeis.

The return of this style is a happy thing because of its becomingness to al- most every type of throat and face, USING OLD CURTAINS ‘When long drapery curtains become worn near the bottom cut them in two and make a pair of sash curtains. Take the lower half and cut off the worn part angd hem, or, if you prefer, after cutting off the worm part sew back on the border piece, Another way is to cut from the upper left corner directly across to the lower right, thus making & three cornered curtain, to which you may sew some old lace you may have in the house. These curtains can be used in a roem where the curtain is put more for the sake of having a curtain than for use. CONCERNING WOMEN , England has more than 100 girls' feot- ball clubs. Twelve thousand women hold member- ship in the International Association of Machinists. Mrs. Francis R. Knox {s the first wo- man to become an official court reporter in Los Angeles. A “I'Fang” (Garden of Fragrance) is the name bestowed upon a high school for girls ‘recently opened in Changsha, China. The Sin Yaw Cha (New Woman) is the name of the first magazine for wo- men in Korea, which is edited and pub- fished by women. It was established a year ago and has a circulation of about 2,000 copies. i RAG RUGS, Hit or miss patterned rag rugs are at- tractive; out even more attractive are those of single color, or two colors well' blended. One way to get good resuMts from dyeing rag rugs is to dye the rags before they are weven—some one color, others another color for the border. Another way to dye rag rugs is to have them woven in any colors you have on hand—bright red. for instance, with yel- low for tke border, or blue with a border of white. Then dip them into a dye of some neutral color—olive green, gray or fome shade of f&h or brown.

Neat bags for swimming togs may be made from the. largest portions, while each sleeve will make a case for rubbers. School children will appreciate these la- ter, for many is the morning it “looks like rain” when rubbers should be taken {o school, though not necessarily worn on the feet. The novelty of a bag of rubbers will appeal to the kiddies and prevent many a case of sniffies.

John was a hired carpenter nnd it would appear that Priscilla was a “high-born” maiden, who, in that of class distinctions, could hardly gard John as an eligible suitor. But by this marriage, perhaps as well as by his own inherent worth, as shown by his industrious apd honest character, he soon rose to the first distinction in the colony. John Alden was the last of the sign- ers of the compact. It was an “early marriage,” as John Alden was born in marriage in 1621, re s 1599.
