When Governor Lake calis together the emergency tramsportatlon commit- tee and sets it to work dealing with the threatened strike on the raflreads he does the very thing that is needed and does it at the right time, It is of course possible that the strile il not take place, or if it does that & will not cripple the transportation servie as bedly as the strikers plan or would like to have it. Nevertheless there is nothing like adequate prepara- tio far better that it should be own through the committee's efforts resources there are that the state call upon if it needs them and ore they are, and to hky it when needed even though~there is no han to have the strike and then to get busy to find out what can ne to protect the interests of the and give the service that it of 50 much importance. There are good reasons to believe that should the railroad men leave their posts that industry and the general welfare would not suffer as serfously as would have a quarter of & century azo under such conditions. There are those who are ready to devote their services 1o overcoming a tying up of transportation and there are great num- bers of anto trucks that can be called can into sggyice. This is of course kmown in a gemeral way today. What the committee can do is to know where and Bow well distributed such facilities are and by getting the information new be ¢ to make the best use of it at the <earliest moment it is needed. Governor Lake takes the proper view of the situation when he plans to pro- tect as far as possfble the Interests of the people of Connectieut. There are which the needs and comwen- of the public can be served tem- 'y and suffering averted. While some are at work endeavoring to pre- vent the threatened inconvenience and hardship it is only proper that shonld be doing what they can nsure a substitute service should ways to conditions reguire it. ity SELLING OLD FORTS. ve a certain fondmess in this for the historic.

In Germany, howewer, the effect of the ad- be if Germany did not get what it sought. The seriousness of that is lke- ly to be only such as Germany is will- ing to make it, the feeling being that Germany can counteract that greatly it it so desires, The decision having been rendered there will now come the reeponsibility of enforcing it. For the next 15 years a commission consisting of two Ger- mans, two Poles and one member se- lected by the league of nations win have charge of the mew situation in Up- per Silesta, and the troubles of that bedy can be measured in advance by the amount of dissatisfaction that ex- ists over the award. THE FIBRST RACE. Even though it is possible for but few to winess them yacht racing al- ways awakens a widespread interest, es- peelally when the contest is inmterna- tional. It is mot a contest between yachts in which the Elsie, acting 8s de- fender of the cup won Jast year by the Bsperanto, s contending agalnst the Bluenose,’ the Canadian clallenger, but it 1s a race of fishing schooners, and that eemmands sttention all the more because of the fact that the vessels arc of use for other than racing purposes. In the first contest the American de- fender made a gallant fight under con- ditions that were a bit adverse.. In the first place the larger schooner, the Blue- nose was traveling in seas that both- ered it less than they did the Elsie while the latter suffered from the parting of a balioon stay and later the-loss of her foretopmast at a time when such had an especial bearing upon the result. It is not to be contended that the Elsie would have won the race but for this misfortune, for she was not in the lead when the break occurred, but it is evi- dent that they. would have been of par- ticular value to her in the last leg of the race at a ttme when all possible sail ‘Was needed. Nevertheless the break didn’t throw the American out of the contest. Cap- tain We'ch gamely fought to the finish under his handleap fully aware of the fact that one race doesn't decide the se- rieg and that a different result is pos- sible when the Eisie has a chance to display her full power. It is safe to say that the loss of one race will stm- ply serve to spur the American crew on to greater effort in the second one to- day. And even though the Blucnose should ultimately prove the winner, it 1s a contest in which bona fide fishing vessels are contesting and in which the best boéat and crew should win. PROHIBITION - TROUBLES, It i not possible to attribute the fail- ure of prohibition to any one particu- lar thing. It is evidemt that prohfbi- tion hasn't succeeded in prohibiting even though it has served to increase the price and reduce the consumption of li quor that used to be used and increase the sale of much that wouldn’t at one time be considered. Enforcemrent it is to be realized (ls not an easy task. It calls for the co- operation of federal, state and local forces. Inmstances are many where such ecooperation is given and where it Is not, but one of the worst disclosures comes in commection With the comditions that have been revealed concerning fed- eral enforcement authorities. In spite of the repeated efforts that have been made to imprcve conditions in the offices of certain enforcement offi- clals, it is plainly evident _that the housecleanings were not started soon enough or made sufficiently thorough. Connecticut- has an enforcement officer who is waiting trial under $50,000 bail. But the report from Pemmsylvania to the effect that milllons of dollars worth of liquor has been withdrawn from bond because of permits which were fraudu- lently issued from the prohibition di- rector’s office it shows that the govern- ment machine for upholding the law has broken down badly. In New York the conditions revealed In the enforcement office maintained by the government has brought about the viduals who were working hand in hand with the law violators. In view of the fact ther part was necessary to rum running and b?otlecging they deserved ection of a special commission |something more than a discharge. Like- wise it shows that enforcement of a fed- lora l'aw cannot he accomplished when { members of the enforcement staff are conniving with and aiding the viola- tors. ? gAY EDITORIAL NOTES. The attitude of Babe Ruth seems to be that Judge Landls cennot strike him out. > The man on the corner says: There are those Who always like to trespass where angels fear to tread. If the ‘brotherhoods had thelr way our railrmads would become as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean. The railroad men who stick to their jobs are thewones who are showing the best judgment in the present situation. The beanties of the country were never more evident than right at the present time, Nature is a great color artist, ~ Aside frum the football contests in- terest today will be centered in the race of ‘the international fishermen’s race off Nova Scotia. From those volunteering throughout the country it seems evident that trans- pertatien service will be furnished even though the brotherhoods do strike. The fact that King eGorge is too poor to fit his yacht out for the race next year indicates that when it comes to yacht racing he may leave it to Lip-~ ton. ‘We would be thrown into a pretty state of affairs if we should permit the administration of justiee and the pun-, ishment of crime in this country to be directed by European anarchists and communists. Knowing what they do of the taetics afthe railread -brotherhoods, public sen- timent will-never be turned in the di- Teetion of government contrsl of the railyoads sby their advocacy of it. Ex- Penience in that direction has been les- son enough, FOR - ¢ ‘THE HOUSEWIFE Little individual jelly rolls &re nice. Use thin pastry, cut into am.l squares and roll. ; ' R F Celery, carrots, radishes and beets keep fresh for weeks if buried in moist sand. If cleaning the carving on furniture uss a soft toothbursh to apply pelish. Rub dry with a piece of cheesecloth. For a wedding breakfast, breasts of chicken served on.toast and surrounded with thin slices of ham are appropriate. If you are going camping, don’t for- get to take the popcorn popper and some popcorn along. They add a great deal of pleasure to the trip. « If baby wears out the toes of his shoes when creeping make little caps of heavy cloth and sew elastic on to go around the back of the shoes. Grated American or Parmesan cheese is nice served with thick spinach soup. Leftover coffee gives a nice flavor to chocolate cream pudding or pie. A simple and efficient disinfectant for the sink is agsmall quantity of charcoal mixed in water. If garbage is wrapped in newspapers it will keep the ean clean and prevent discoloration. Lemon juice improves a whitefish salad. ‘ \ Keep on hand a small brush for washing vegetables. N Honey can be used instead of sugar for sweetening custards. Meat should never be put in cold wa- ter except for making soup. | SUGGESTIONS PROPER FOOD It is extremely desirable that the day be started with.a good appetite for breakfast and a sense of feeling fit. The day is not started right un- less one has an optimistic outlook. This is largely assured by taking eare of the morning’s nutritive needs. A substantial breakfast, light lunch and good dinner are required if OM<| would live in tolerable comfert. It is safe to say that a person whe has no appetite for breakfast is not in normal condition. . It is eating betweén meals and be- tween dinner and bedtime that plays the mischief with the human stomach in the morning. The nibbling of crack- ers and the eating of ice cream and candy between meals, not to speak of more substantial things, invites trou- ble. Nothing at all should be eaten be- tween meals, if one would have good health, shown not only by a healthy morning appetite, but in many other ways thattere desirable. TO CLEAN CUTLERY Use a cork when applying cleans- ing powder to cutlery. It is far bet- ter than a cloth and if you happen to have no cleaning agent at hand cut discharge of a score and a half indi-; a raw potato in half and rub steel knives with that. B MOTHS IN RUGS When moths get into the rug er earpet wet a clean towel, place it en the rug and iren with a hot iren. This will kill the eggs. HEALTH AND BEAUTY It your skin doesn’t take cream well you can make an excellent lotion, for it by mixing 1-4 pound of strained honey, 1-4 pound of sal seda and a pint of water. Heat the mixture but gon't boil it The color of the hair depends upbn the pigment deposited in the middle layer, its intensity depends on the am- ount of pigment, or the presence of air cells in this part, due to sickness, old age, worry, shock, accidents and various other causes. ‘We can have a clear, glowing skin. That is moderate health and absolute cleanliness, plus a little common sense. A dry skin needs ofls to feed it, an oily skin astringents; burned skins need oils and bleaches; the “city com: plexion” needs cleansing with creams as well as soap and water, and all complexions need watchful care. An easy way to make a good pre- paration for chapped lips is to melt together with gentle heat two ounces of white wax, one ounce of sperma- cei. Then add two ounces of strained honey. Continue to heat and stir until well blended. Add in a thin stream four ounces of oil of almonds. Remove from the fire and continue stirring until the mixture is almost cold. Add any kind of perfume you wish. PLENTY OF SUNSHINE Sunshine is the housewife’s best anti- septic. It is hard for a cold to thrive in a house flooded in sunshine. Even if the members of your household are not at home during sunshiny hours, it they sit at night and sleep in rooms that have been flooded in sunshine and fresh air during the daytime they will reap the benefit. So forget the fact that sunshine fndes rugs and hangings and let the sunshine for all it is worth during these months when the sunshine is none too strong, any- way. Pull up your curtains and shades as high as they will go and let this greatest of antidbtes come in. . DECORATIVE BLANKETS A few crisp nights have brought a peak in the total cash sales of blan- kets. An interesting change in” blanket buying is indicated in the sale of mere colored blankets—in plaid designs— than all white blankets th colored ; borders, which have heretofore bheen the leaders. The best selling of these plaid blankets include such eombina- tions as pink, blue, orchid, brown, yel- low combined with white. Almost any color scheme of bedroom decoration can be heightened by the use of these blankets, designed to be rolled up ati foot of the bed when not in use, it is pointed out. " No longer does a woman select a quilt or a blanket merely for warmth. It must fit in with the color scheme of the room. SLIT SLEEVE A striking sleeve recently seen in a next season afternoon freck was slit from elbow to shoulder, exposing the upper arm—really. the prettiest part of the average arm. 53 3 DICTATES OR FASHION Tomato tweeds, henna and all terra cotta colorings in beth tweed home- spuns and jerseys are smart for suits Choker collars and variations of the storm collar are newer than the shawl and volumineus types. Some of the best dressed women de not wear fur-trimmed suits, prefer- ing separate neck pieces. = American broadtail is having quite vogue. i Narrow bands of fur or ome wids band trim suit jacket or coat edges. Buckles and ornamental clasps are used ,not only for girdles but to fasten collars and capes. 5 _Box coats and all unbelted jackets and coats are popular. Many of the longer models have fullness intro- duced 4t the sides. The vogue for Spanish shawls hag inspired women te knit shawls which have deep fringe and are made aither of fine Shetland wool, or the heavier| grades.

Black capes of duvetyn or Canten crepe collared in caracul, monkey, squirrel or ermine serve to cover more than one frock.

These beads are mounted slantwise on a fine canvas weave, giving a twisted effect. These girdles are about twice as thick as the telephone cables, are made about 3 1-2 metres long, and are botM origi- nal and attractive, showing as they do a new quiet trend in the style of gir- dles, E FASHION IN BLOUSES Tace blouses will hold first place for dressy wear, some of thé smart trimmed ones are fashioned in dyed Irish and deep cream chantilly. NEEDLEWORK NOTES Very attractive curtains can be made for your pink bedroom by hem- stitching white dimity with pink thread and putting a picot edge on in pink. Baby's stockings. when badly worn at the knee can be cut down to sock length and a buttonhole edge crocheted around the tep for a finish. Use. pale pink or - blue mercerized cotton for the edging. Here is one suggestion made in marking hose for-.the boys in the fam- ilv that is quick and always ready. Use any little piece of gingham or lawn that could not be used for any- thing else. e¢ little strip about one ihch long seéwed on the inside of the jhose will save buping different yarns or markers. Yon are wise to make summer frocks of gingham, but you are unwise if you make them without first shrinking the gingham. On second washing, even, gingham 'shrinks a little so make the frocks a little larger than you will need them, and then you will not have to cut them down for little daughter, as has been the case with some women who fasghion their gingham frocks of unshrunk fabric. Probably the cheap- er gingham shrinks meore than that of better quality, A laundry bag is a great improve- ment over the basket commonly used when taking clothes from the line. It can be made from two yards of heavy unbleached muslin. Make a deep, strong hem at the top and fasten two hooks made of wire, and shaped like ordinary dress hooks, about eighteen inches apart on this hem. When taking down the clothes the bag is hooked over the line and can be easily pushed along as the clothes are removed. - HATS FOR CHILDREN Hats for children that are developed with infinite care, and endowed with a sense of individualism, comprise a col- Jection that includes modes ranging from infants’ sizes to sixteen-year-old- girls. The average size hat enmlists such fabrics as duvetyn, felt and velvet in its composition, with particular empha- sis placed upon the duvetyn and felt models, with an array of colors to fit well the program of colors planned for this season. The most popular shades at the moment are tan, brown, blue and red. Every hat is sewn and blocked by hand, and elpresses distinction to a high order. The garnitures are alse charming, using the favored trimming’ motifs of adult size millinery, in the proportionately miniature es. Such trimmings as hackel pad ostrich fancies, fur bands, lacquered quills and embroideries, are also reduced to pro- portions that are in keeping with the size of the little hats. PREFERABLE PROFILES The left side of your faee is more symmetrical than thé right, but do you know why? This is perhaps due to the fact that mest persons, when childrem are made to sleep om the right side which, affects the soft benes_of the face. Photgraphers will tell you that profiles taken from the ieft are usually better than views frox the right. CONCERNING WOMEN Jamaica has proved the entering wedge for the“woman suffrage move- ment in the West Indies, The women of that island ‘have been granted the ballot and will vete for the first time at the election this fall. Reperts just compiled show that ap- proximately 50,000 women from FEu- rope have entered the United States since the armistice. In Lancashire where.both husbands and wives work in the mills, the hus-| band does more of the housework than perhaps any other husband in world. Many of the men can make a bed and prepare a meal better than their wives ean. Mrs. Catherine M. Smith, of Bay City, Mich,, celebrated her 39th birth- day by d?!ng the family washing.

A SUFFERING TAX PAYER. Norwich, Oect. 22, 1921. _— OPD iNOIDENTS HISTORY e e e ——— HOW WASHINGTON BECAME > CAPITAL CITY y The question is frequently asked as to how Washington came to be select- ed as the Capital City of the United States, Next in importance to the founding of a free and independent nationality, and the inauguration of a supreme legislature and executive gov- ernment, was the act of establishing a permanent Capital. Before the loca- tion was decided upon there was & great rivalry among a number of lo- calities to possess this honor. The Government,.for some reason or another found Philadelphia impracti- cable. The first place to be seriously considered was .a location near the Falls of the Delaware River. A com- mission was appeinted to lay out a town in that section and they reported their proceedings to Congress, but no further steps were taken to carry the resolution into effect. Some were very strenuous for New York, and others proposed some con- venient place on the banks of the Susquehanna. To the latter proposi- tion Southern members, among whom posed. A compact was then entered was Mr. Madison, were unalterably op- into between the Friends of Philadel- phia and the Potomac whereby it was stipulated that Congress should con- tinue to hold its sessions in Philadel- phia for ten years, during which time buildings for the accomodation of the Government should be erected at some place te be selected on the Potomac. From the beginning Gen. Washington advocated the site which was finally fixed upon, and its establishment there was due in a large measure to his counsels and influence. Bpth Virginia and Maryland had each offered to cede a tract of land to the General Govern- ment, but by Act of March 30, 1791, Washington was authorized to select the site and mark the boundaries, and this he did early in the year, and the cornerstone of the Federal building was laid on September 18, 1793. A more beautiful site for a large city could scarcely have been welected. The idea of George Washington was that the Capitol should be in the centre of the city, and that avenues should radi- ate from it at equidistant peints. Te complete his plan the metropolis should z \ Rheuma for Rheumatism Rheuma has relieved the agonizing pains of thousands who thought neth- ing would give relief.

The entire soil belonged to a few plain, easygoing Maryland farm- ers, who rodé over it to Georgetown One of these only, David Burns, was obstinate about making terms, and the subse- quent rise of land: in the western cuarter of the city, -which his farm house then occupied, reniered his littie daughter in time the heircss of Wash- ington, and confirmeéq his elaims to historic consideration as the most con- spicuous grantor to the National Cap- tal. * From procuring this choice spot on behalf of his countrymen, the Presi- dent conducted the negotiations in per- son, and the purchase of the Federal city was concluded upon just and even generous terms. Each owner surren- dered his'real estate to the United States with no restrictions, except that of retaining every alternate lot for himself. The Government was permitted to reserve all tracts specially desired at $125 per acre, while the land for ave- nues, streets and alleys should cost nothing. Thus the Federal Captitol stantially a free conveyance of half of the fee of the soil in consideration of the enhanced value expected for the| other half.

No need to eat yeast cakes any more! Take yeast the new easy way—in pleas- ant -tablet form, as'embodied in Ironized Yeast. Everyona has heard of the seeming miracles performed by yeast, especially in cases of loss of weight, weakness, poor appetite, mal-nutrition and general “run- down” conditions. The reason for these amazing results is that yeast contains a certain mysteri- ous element called vitamines which we do not get in our present-day diet, but which are absolutely necessary for good health and proper physical development. Ironized Yeast contains highly concen- trated brewer's yeast which is far richer in vitamines than ordinary baking yeast.
