It rests with the senate to determine whether the United States army shall be reduced to 175,000 or built uw to 280,000 and if it is possible to judge ils action by what has already been ex- pressed there is good reason for believ- ing that it will stand by the former fig- ures, The question arises in connection with the bill directing the war department to stop recruiting until the army is reduced to 175,000, This has been approved by boih houses of congress under the belief that an army of that size was sufficient and for ‘the purpose of keeping down the ¢xpenses of the government. President W , however, failed to give it his en- dorsement but returned the bill {0 con- eress'with his veto because of the belfef tkat the conditions throughout the world at the presentitime didn’t-warrant the re- duction. Thus while his approval -would have meant the.earrying out of the reso- lution, the veto throws it back upon con- gress, What weight the position taken by the president had with the irses- house was guickly disclosed when it-passed the res- clution over the veto by an overwhelm- Ing vote, there being but 16 democrats who_favored sustaining the veto, while there were five times as many democrats who showed their disapproval to say nothing of the republicans. The asser- tion by one member of congress to the effect that they had long ago given full consideration to sxch a view as was taken by the presidemt indicated not only the hopelessness of the veto being sus- tained in the house but the probability that the same view is taken in the sen- ite. The fate of the measure remains in the hands of the senate. If the veto is sus- tained that will end it, but if the senate @lso overrides the veto it will mean that the army recruiting will be stopped and that 175.000 will become the minimum enlisted strength instead of 105,000 more “s desired by the president and as ig now the fizure fixed in last year's reorganiza- tion bill. ’ ML DL CRITICIZING THE CAEBINET. By three weeks from Friday there.will be definitely known the makeup of Pres- ident-elect Harding's cabinet. It is en- tirely possible that it may be known be- fore then but regardless of the fact that no statement has been made by Mr. Harding relative to the. members thereof there is hardly a day goes by without someone putting forth a tentative list of cabinet members, as if they intended to exhanst what they 2zonsidered to be the possibil in making guesses and jug- gling them about so that it may be said after the actual announcement has been made if they happen to hit it right that they picked the cabinet. There are those Who even go so far as to let it be kmown that some of these tentative cabinets would never do, and criticize them as if they had been act- ually selected by Mr. Harding. They show how such selections would mot jibe with what he maintained would be the basis for selecting cabinet members and rather call him to account for errors of omiesion and corvmission when as a matter of fact no cabinet has been an- nounced by him. It hasn't as yet been disclosed Whether Mr. Harding has made use of all the advice that has been given him concern- ing tho putting together of his cabinet. It Is apparently grossly unfair to aceise him of neglecting the weifare of the country by failing to name this one or by actually selecting that one when' there is no basis for such statements. It isn't to be gathered that whenever announcement is made of the cabinet mempers that it will be found that he has pleased evervone. There will be 1hose who will take a differant view than ha has regarding the fitness of sone of the selections. There will be some who il be demanding Qeneral Dawes for the cabinet when Gemeral Dawes has em- Thatically indicated ‘that he could not be dragged into politics while others will be insisting on other equally impossible members. The fact of the matter is that it will be time to criticize Mr. Harding for his cabinet selections after he has disclosed its makeup, RENO DIVORCES. For a long time there has been strong opposition throughout the“country to the divorce laws which have been, maintain- ed m the state of Nevada. Reno became the Mecca for those seeking quick and easy divorce which could not be obtained elsewhere. From all indications, how- ever, Nevada, in spite of the money it has received from those who made brief stays in the state in order to effect the break- ing of marriage ties, has apparently un- dergone a change of heart, or is undergo- ing such change gradually. By the actiory of the legislature, which yet requires the signature of the govern- or there has been approved a change in itg divorce law, which while it gives to the actual residents of the state a change to get a divorce after a stay of three months it dentes it to others and makes it necessary for them to Itve there twice ac long, This of course doesn’t overl come the Reno evil. It doesn’t mean that it will be a sufficient discouragement to eliminate that class of divorce caces, but it is evident that It isamove in the right directin. The time may come when Ne- vada will look upon divorce the same as other states do and eliminate that which seems to indicate that it is holding forth inducements for Wivorces in order to get the business connected with such trans- actions. ‘What Nevada is attempting to do enly emphasizes what all the states should be Yoing in the way e! enacting a uniform - CONGRESSIQNAL DISTRICTS. ‘Without any doubt the members of the general assemply were giad to know how the members of the Cgnnecticut delega- tion in congress felt concgrning the pro- posed redistricting of the state in order to provide for the additlonal congress- man that is anticipated under the reap- portionment. It doesn’t necessarily mean that because our senators and congress- men haye spoken that their advice will be followed but their views are nevertheless bound to get consideration, especially since, Wwith one exception, they are all of the same opinion. Because of its increase in populatien as shown by the last eensus Connecticut will be entitled to another congressman and in order to provide a district for him to represent it will be necessary to set off into a new one toyns Which are al- ready in some of the other districts. The alternative to this plan is that which is favored by the senators gnd most of the congressmen of making this sixth repre- sentative in gongress a co! n at large and thus represent the entire state instead of a district until such a time as conditions are more settled than they are just now -and it is possible to better determine the makeup of a new distriet. A congressman at large would be by no means a novelty in this state for thati is the way Congressman Tilson served for some time. Hs would iook to the entire state, the same as a senater, for his election instead of heing confined to a group of towns and he weould of coyrse represent the larger censtitmency. In time it is to be expected that the state would be- rediStrieted, but it is a question whether it js wise or desirable| to plunge into this matter hastily whilp other important measures are awaiting action or to give it more thoughtful con- sideration and permit cenditions to ad- just themselves a bit ag to settled pop- ulations. The state will get its addi- tional representative just as much wheth- er there is an immediate redistricting or not, but when that change is made there ought te be a preper regard fer what is being done. THE BRINDELL CASE. After having followed the revelations which have been made by the committee investigating housing conditions in New York city and the disclosures that in- volved R. P. Brindell in an extensive holdup game there will be a feeling of satisfaction that the work of the commit- tee has mot gome for nought and that having diseovered the existence of such well organized etortion.it has been pos- sible to present sufficient proof to con- vinee the jury of his gmilt. The activities of Brindell shewed him to be in complete control of, building op- erations, that he had the power to make or break centractors, that the funds he collected seryed to inerease the cost of public and nprivate bumilding expenses and that he was the guiding influence in forcing contractors ‘ to impose upon the public. Conditions have been bad enough in the building field without submitting to the throttling of commetition or a fair change to do business, There had been an ingenious scheme developed Whereby the claim was made that such extorton was for the purpose of reimbursing him for help given in obtaining contraets. But it was clearly diselosed that contractors were force dto take that help J9F 1o pay for it whethér they got it'or not and the possibility of having their men ealled off of the job was held ever ‘them as a threatening club in case they refused to meet the demands. % New York was held m the nelentless grasp of such 3 well organized and pow- erful clique that it reguired the mast de- terpined sort of an investigation to bring the real eonditions.te light. The revela- tions were appalling. As soon as it was possible for theze whe had been squirm- ing under the extortion to give their evi- dence and be assured of protection it didn’t take long to bare the whale mun-i tion and all its injustice. And now that the accused has been found guilly it s to he expected that he will receive snch sentence as the law permits and the crime warrants.

One source of waste on a gas stqve is generally overlooked. It is the loss of heat by radiation before the sauce- pan reaches the boiling point. This ie éspecially true in cold weather and in the case of a big metal pot. Hot air always rises. It is, thers fore, possible to effect.a considerabis saving of gas by covering tin sauce pan lids with asbestos. To do this a sheet of asbestos one-sixth of an inch is needed. ¥rom it, with a sharp- pointed knife, circular pieces the sizes of various saucepan lids may be cut. A hole made in the'center allows the knob “to come through. : The asbestos must never be plac over an opems pot, as the steam woul soak it with moisture, but used as a covering for a tin or granite lid it will shorten the time for the cold water's reaching the hoiling point by more than five minutes. This is not only a saving of gas but of the cook’s time as well. HOME MADE VINEGAR. Home made vinegar can be made by taking one quart of molasses, one pint of yeast and three gallons of warm wat “Put all inte a jug or small keg; tie a piece of gauze over the bunghale to let in the air. In hot weather set in the sun. Imcold weath- er set by the kitchen stove. . When this quantity is getting low pour cut some for use and fill the jug in the same proportien as at first. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. For a tasteless castor oil pour the oil into a pan over a moderate fire, break an egg into it, stir up'and when done add a little sugar or currant jelly. / To make camphorated oil beat four ounces of camphor in a mortar with four ounces of Florence oil till the camphor is dissolyed. This is an ex- cellent liniment for rheumatism and all kinds of sprains. All skins are not alike and what is good for one is bad for another, so the individual must decide upon the quality of the soap to be used. In meost cases an oil base is preferable since it cleanses thorotighly and does not eliminate the natural oil from the skin itself. Medicated soaps should only be used in cases of skin eruptions, and then with a great deal of care and discretion. In fact, it is well only to do so on your physician's advice. A great many people seem to think that 4t is necessary to use a lot of polishing paste or powder on ,their finger nails. Now this is very bad be- cause most of these polishing prepara- tions are quite drying in character, and if used too often will make the nails look old and ugly. As a matter of fact, the nails can be kept as high- 1y polished as desired if they are given 2 quick buffing with a clean nail buf- fer every day, angl an extra polish once a week when a mere thorough mani- cure is necessary. THE, USE OF SALT. A pinch of salt will make the whites of eggs beat up more quickly and lightly; salt sprinkled on hot teast will supply a flaver that will keep the toast consumer from piling on but- ter. Salt should never be forgotten when you cook oatmeal or other ce- reals. The flat tastelessness resulting frem its omission may not be remedied by sprinkling on salt at the table; the condiment must go in during the cook- inf proeess. t is important to salt vegetables ‘while cooking. Have a bewl of sait and a small spoon always on the kitch- en table and add salt to potatoes, beans, peas, corn and other vegetables when they are put into boiling water. LOW HEELS. ‘With the advent of the so-called “sperts” shoe the § is a marked tend- ency on the part |’ our wemen te re- turn to a lower 1% 1, but it must not be fargetten that where there has been a permanent shortening of the heel cerd, it is almest impessible to wear 12 lower ‘heel with comfort. WASHABLE GLOVES In cleaning white wash gloves the black or colored stitching and the chamois colored fabrics often eause streaks on the glove itself, or fade. There are two ways of etepping that. Use only cool water for washing and when the sgleve is squeezed as dry as| possible stuff it with crushed paper so that no thicknesses touch each ether. Dry the gloves in the shade.

FABRICS FOQR HATS. =455 It is, as everybody knows by this time, a season in which fabrics are used to even a greaters extent than formerly for millinery, Most of the novelty eilks intredyced this spring for sports wear have found themselves in millinery workrooms and are ef- fective for hats.. The French continue to add a lace veil for good measure and some of the trés chic modistes are ; using horsehair lace, which has somle- |thing of the lacey transparency of !

Umbrella_ tops usually, slit on the folds long before the frame wears Qut. Recovering is rather expemsive, but the life of an umbrella top can be pro- longed -50 per cent. by home mending. Use adhesive tape or tailor'’s mepd-' ing tissue according to the weight of the material of which the top is made. Open the umbrella wide enough to work easily but do not stretch. Ad- just the tape or tissue to the under side, pulling the edges of the slit even- 1y together. SEWING SUGGESTIONS. Old sweaters make .good mittens for small children, especially for playing in the snow. Make large kitchen apron out of wash skirt and coat or one piece dress out of woolen skirt and coat. To repair a corset when steels wear through press them down, sew with strong thread, cover worn places with pieces of adhesive tape an inch wide. ‘When working en velvet use only the finest pins or needles to pin, se as not to injure the pile, and when! bastings are essential do not draw the thread tight. Clip each stitch with scissors before pulling out the bastings. Ta darn large holes in stockings and underwear quickly, place a piece of fine mosquito netting under the hole, tacking it around, and darn through that. Trim the exposed edges of this off (if there are any) after the darm is finished. This not only enables one to make a beautifully even darnm, but it strengthens the mended place. THE OVERBLOUSE. The ehort overblouse refuses, and Justly so, to be characterized as.a shirtwaist. It takes on the airs and graces, to say nothing of the import- ance of a frock for surely the bodice| section of 4 dress is its most import- ant part. Naturally the overblouse assumes the lines and general char- acteristics peculiar to a bodice, the basic idea of many a blouse this winter being to be part and parcel of a cos- tume rather than a separate suit. It is the short overblouse which has come to stay, not the overblouse ex- tending to the hip to say nothing of the knees; it is an overblouse only in- asmuch as it has a front peplum, the; back tucking in under the skirt band. One can easily utilize these blouse ideas for the top of a dress, making it either of the material of the skirt or ef a lighter weight fabric such ae “T“fi' or crepe, should the skirt be of cloth. A STUNNING GOWN There are many lace frocks among the new French models and cream lace over black satin skirt and bras- sier and bodice and tunic are of cream Spanish lace, opening at the front to show the black satin in panel effect. A strip of the lace crosses the square decolletage in front. A sash ef -bril- liant cerise velvet ribbon goes around the waist and falls in long ends under the lace tunie, DRESSINGS. ‘With a meat or fish dish serve one underground vegetable, as potatoes, turnips, beets and one vegetable grown abeve ground, as lettuce, cabbage, cel- ery. If the green vegetable is served as & salad the simple French dressing of oil, acid, salt and pepper is preferable to a rich mayonnaise or a cooked dressing. Reserve these latter dress- ings for luncheen anrd supper, when the salad serves as the main dish of the meal. CONCERNING WOMEN.

Canned fruit, fruit cup, grape juice in -gelatine dishes or with tapioea, grape juice sherbet and similar sweet dishes are appropriate after boiled, broiled or reasted meats, while mince pie or strawberry shertcake enriches a dinner in which fish, eggs or some leftover material is the main dish.

The first real newspaper in England, and the third established in thé world, was the Weekly. News, the first issue of which was May 23, 1622, in London. For three-quarters of a century the colonists contifiued to be wholly with- out newspapers. During that time journalism was gradually developing in Eurape, Up to the beginning of the eigh- teenth century, three newspapers had been started in London, two in Edin- burgh, two in Paris ,and one each In Frankfort, Antwerp, Stockholm and Wor- cester. It was in September, 1680 that the first offort wag made to establish a news- paper in America. This was Public Oc- currences, which came out in Boston. but lived only through a single numper, Mrs. Margaret Sanger Home Furnishings. / Curtain Scrim, 18¢ Srekn and eas, with ‘mest SEONE an , Wi n work border—Price now 15¢ a m Cyrtain Scrim, 17¢- 3-inch Colored Border Serim, in a good assartment of patterns colorings—Price now 17¢ a yard.

Up to this time news was sent ameng the colonists by letter, such let- ters being posted conspicuously so that all might read. Most prominent among these Jetter writers was John Campbell, of Boston, and early in 1704 Campbel decided that the time was ripe for the presentation in printed form, of the news which hitherto he had endeavored to dise seminaté in his manuscript letters. In April, 1704, Campbell began the publication of the Boston News-Latter. the first newspaper printed in Amgrica that succeeded in maintaining a perma- nent existence. In the heginning, to 2 very considerable extent, Mr. Campbell's paper was made up of news regprinted from the London newsparers. In addition were many letters from correspondents discussing public affairs. As the Revolution approach the newspapers were largely made the vehi- cle of communication between tue lead- ers of that day and the general publie. There was some correspondence from other colonists and a little local news. although the attention that was given to loes] happenings was generlly negligible. From 1704 to 1719 the Boston News- Letter had no rivai, but In the latter year a new paper sprang up In Basten, and in the same year one in Philadel- phia.
