Az appeal which should meet With hearty endarsement is that which s be- ing made by th® Urited Werkers for funis which afe meedied to carry on_the imporant work of this highly valuable organization. Norwich has looked to this organiza- tion to carTy om a vast amount of char- itable work each year, and it has been done with unfiagging seal and conspicu- s success for two score years, Dur- g that time a heavy burden has been arried which would othetwise have falen upon the shoulders of the taxpay- rs. Thropgh those who have appre- clated the need and the service of such an organization a considergble amount of money has been given for special pur- poses under its direction to such an ex- tent that its funds yield an income of over §19,000 yearly. But while the United Workers has been looking after s oOrphans, glving care to the aged, looking after the poor and endeavoring reduce want and suffering, it has bten broadening its efforts. Having seen ways in which it could ‘be of additional service and recognizing the fact that the community should the benefit of such vital help it proceeded to provide it, regardless of race, ereed or color. Norwich is thus getting through this organization what is previded In many other places throggh separate organi- zations, the administration thus being hed at the minimum of expense a high degree of efficiency. Well endowed as it is in certain di- rections the organization nevertheless lacks sufficlent income to. carry on its vities and keep them up to the re- quirements, Becauss of this it is neces- sary to appeal to the people of Nor- wich who ars interested in this work and Wwho understand its benefits to come to its assistance and through their con- tributions see that.the werk is in no way permitted to lag. Norwigh cannot appreciate too deeply the work of the United Workers and In no better Wway can it endorse it than by #uch generous gifts as wil make 1t possible to carry out its plans. ha THE SPECIAL CITY MEETING. How deeply the peopie of this city are interested i seeing that the community is adequately protected against fire was well disclosed by the spectal city meet- The sentiment of the entire mest- ng Was for proper preparation in the way of fire apparatus and while there was & division of opinion as to just how the expense ought to be distributed It cannot fail to be reilized that it is far better to have enough to take care -of ali the requirements when conditions de- mand it tHan to delay previding the :quipment and suffer extensive. losses thronch following a chance-taking pei- Repeated are the Instances .following & large fire that attention has been call- &4 to the shortcomings of our fire ap- paratus. A fire department cannot ac- complish miracles. Efficient as it may be in other particulars it is seriously handicapped Wwhen it lacks apparatus. By the approval of the voters such a hand'eap is to be overcome, districts which have been unsatistactorily pro- tected Wik henceferth get what they are entitied to. The change will mean the elimination of the herses from the fire departraent but in the interest of great- or serme and less maintenance expense, and will be accomplished through the ex- tension of the outlay over a period of five years Instead of meeting It In the next tax bill. This plan has been fol- lowed connection with permanent street improverment with geod remrits. By its action it is evident that the city meeting was likewise well impressed by the other matters that were presented for its consideration. Two of these mat- ters will mean much needed street im- provements and come at a time When in while the disposition of the Ere station at the Falls removes a plece of fire department property that has been considered wnwerthy for such ser- viee for a number of years and has been tmoceupied for a number of monthe. It was a ferward looking rather than a niggardly policy that was shaped by the meeting. — WILL CONGRESS ACT? Congressman PBlanton of Texas has bowed 0 the action of the house of rep- resentatives, He has apologized for his @buse of the leave to print that was granted him and thereby acknowledged that his jodgment was.exceedingly bad.

When concerted action was recognired as of vital impertance Mar- shal Foch-was the man placed at thelr head and from that time different results were accomplished. He was chosen for the task because of his eminent qualifi- cations and In the mafner in Wwhich he disgharged his duties he justified - the confidence that was placed In him. It is therefore only natural that the country shotild be eager to give him an appropriate welcome. Even theugh he comes on the eve of the conference for the Iimitation of armaments and is a great soldier there is nothing strange that he shoild get such a rousing recep- tion. Even though there is a demand for a reduction in armaments which it is hoped will be able to accomplish some- thing through the coming conference it does mot eclipse the magnificent service that Foch rendered as a soldier In the putting down of the world menace that was threatened. Not only the few communities that will have a chance to see and greet him but the entire country recognmizes the va‘uable ~character of the gervices that were rendered by Foch. He rendered them as a soldler because conditions de- manded it and he was equipped to meet those conditiens. ¢ It, would be a most happy time Indeed if during his proposed visit to New Eng- land Marshal Foch could arrange his itinerary to include Norwich and this part of the state where Lafayette has previously been and wWhere the French soldlers of bygone days were once sta- tloned. PR AR S FORTY YEARS OF PROGRESS. ‘With characteristic °enterprise and commendable results obtained in the ex- ecution the New London Day has mark- ed its 40th anniversary with an edition of two pages for each of its years and improved the opportunity to direct atten- tion therein to the progress which has been made by the sister oity down the river during that period. New London has undergone many changes during these four decades. ' It has changed In geographical lines, it has changed In its form of government, it has experienced great changes along its water front, it has seen Groton make gome big strides in the way of ship- buflding and there !s a marked change In the appearance of its streets and ifke- wise in its industrial activity. Certai old landmerks have gone and some new and striking ones éstablished which will long serve to ldentify it. The changes are not such as might be peinted out if comparisons were drawn with eonditions in the early days of the city with those of today, but in tle two yoars New London has displaysd a spieit of prog- ress that is well worth while ealling at- tention to. This the Day does n an imteresting and attractive manmer, the edition being one that is bound to be of much histori- cal vaine fn that community, and while other things have been changing there it is impossible te overlock the prog; ress that has been mads by the Day 'n that time. Publisher Bodenwein has reason to Bo prond of his accomplish- ments. EDITORIAL NOTES, Hallowe'en, and It wil not be forgot- ten by those Who are seeking a merry time.

You can drive a nail into, plaster without cracking it if you ‘heat the nail in hot water first, % STAIR CARPETING Always buy a yard more than needed, since it can be shifted up or down a little every time it is taken up, so that it wears evenly. Otherwise the part over the treads will be wWorn complete- ly through, while the uprights are as 800d as new. ‘The sturplus can be folded under at the top or bottom. Just try it and you'll find your carpet will wear twice as long ‘and won't begin to look Very much worn till it is about gone, as it is all used alik CARE OF LEMONS Lemons ought never to be allowed to become dry. It is simple to keep them plump. Some people recommend packing them in a crock in dry sand arranging so that no two lemons touch This for a quantisy. For the usual half dozen on hand it is better to covef them with cold water, weighting them te keep them down. The water should be changes twice a week. e THE OLD CHAIR SEAT ‘To repair a chair seat when the cane segt has given out cut a piece of in- laid linoleum about one and a half to two inches larger than the opening in the chair. ¥ brown inlaid linoleum then you are not obliged to paint it, although you can paint it brown or green.

And we need not trust to a professional manicurist for the nails are absurdly easy to manicure at home. It takes a little study and a little prac- tice. Then it is a matter of finding which shape of nail suits you finger best, and whether your nails need nourishment— some do, you see. DEMAND FOR NAPKIN RINGS There is a decided demand for nap- kin rings at the present time. They do-duty as a wedding present in pairs one with the initials of the bride- groom and the other with the initials of the bride. There is a wide variety of styles, and baby rings are in innumerable designs. There are large, for the baby's bib takes more space than a napkin. They are engraved with a little oxidation in fairy scenes, Mother Goose, biblical stories, Cain and Abel, Ruth gleaning, and the alphabet in many forms. TO HAVE ON HAND The following things should always be somewhere in the home. A dozen or so good pens, a bottle of real black ink, a respectable number of 1 and cent stamps, envelopes of business shape and size and stationary that fits the same without crimping and carowding, a bottle of, paste that sticks an assortment of blotters and a botters and a bottle of liniment. WINTER MILLINERY COLORS Aside from the staple navy, seal and black to be in the mode your win- ter hat should be in one of the fol- lowing colors: Belladonna, a reddish purple; periwinkle, a corn-flower blue; rubellite, a fuchsia shade; concord, a purple; mimeosa, a goldenrod yellow; tile, a dresden blue; bonfire, a cardi- nal; lark, a light fawn color; cactus, a green with more life than reseda; pumpkin, a brilliant erange; cinder, a French gray; and canna, a terracotta or’ light mahogany tint. DICTATES OF FASHION One plain suit with box coat had a ‘self skirt with pleating at the side. Novelty galalith and beaded hats are geen everywhere—usually in bright colors. . Cocades of narrow ribbon trim the front of many hats worn this week. Colored lace gowns are popular, many of these made over metal cloth.

DEMAND FOR LACES Many of these laces are being shown in the new: and most fashionable colors—the cdppers, fuchsia shades, jades corals and moonlight blues—al- though black is predominent. The shawl idea is so much a part of Spanish styles that it seems des- tined to an important place in this re- vival. Lace shawls-and mantillas are being worn by fashionable women as a unique and novel accesory for their formal costumes. Some of the laces intended for shawl wear are in square design, fin- ished around all four sides with very beautiful hand-made .silk fringe.

Those laces\to be used in the style of the Spanish mantillas are shown in various shapes, many with a short oval en one e to drape over the hair and fiead. These are of regular Spanish lace usually in black, but sometimes shown in créam and a few combinations of black and cream. FOR SPRING Printed crepes de chine in general, and Persian paterns on cloth in par- ticular are to be among the big things for! spring in the opinion of one New York dealer. This belief has been con- firmed, he says by orders already re- ceived from some of the high class cutters-up and retailers. There are two distinct types of printed crepes de chine in_the new col- lection prepared by the house, one the Paisly and its variations in Persian colorings the other a geometric or oth- er neat type of pattern. In the sec- ond group. a very small design sug- gestive of tiny, formal calico prints has been one of ths good numbers, coming in such colorings as clear red and white. In another number, a lo- ganberry shade made with plaiding on white. SEWING HINTS Keep a sheet of twe of carbon paper in your szwing room and use it when cutting out lighteolored garments to mark perforation called for in the pat- tern. - ‘When sewing georgette: or silks of any kind take a stripof plain paper one inch wide and hold under the seam as you sew, sitiching through the pa- per. When finished pull paper apart from the stitching, and you will be well repaid as the work will be nice and smoothe. ‘When you wish to cut long strips of material, pen you dining room table half an inch and after placing your material accurately and making secure with weights you can swiftly and ac- curately by guiding your seissors blade along the left side of the half-inch opening. L4 Scme of the practical uses of the tucker are for making any size tuck with any width spacing; for making tueks in clusters; for doing cross tuck- ing; for tucking chiffons or heavy lienn. The tucker saves hours of la- bor and basting tucks by hand and it makes the natural and dainty trimming for all thin materials. such as lawn, dimity, muslin or other delicately wo- ven fabric. : \ FOR A PETTY TABLE A pumpkin, the loveliest, yellowest one you can find, of the rather long variety, can be the basis for a really beautiful centerpiece for your Novem- ber party. Cut in halves, lengthwise, and then scoop it out. Get small round sticks and gild them for the masts and make sails of white silk. Press the end of masts into the pulp of the pumpkin and it will stand quite firmly. Then with your brush dipped again in gilt put the work Mayflower on the pretty craft, line it with waxed paped and lozd it with autumn fruits. Use as a base for the ship a small box or tin which you have banked in autumn leaves and vines or chrysag- themums. MAKE JUICY PIES A berry pié with an edible under crust has always been a problem to the housekeeper. Specialists in the United States department of Agriculture say that the secret of turning out a juicy pie with a crisp undercrust lies in bak- ing the undererust first until it is bare- ly brown. If overbaked it will be too dark brown when cooked the second time; under ecooked it will doughy. The cruet should be thoroughly prick- ed with a fork to prevent blisters. In the case of juicy fruits, such as straw- berries, the fruit should be cooked first and part of the juice removed before the thickening and sugar are added. After the fruit is put in the shell and the edge moistened the raw top erust is added and carefully tucked in, the pie is baked in the ordinary way. HOT GRIDDLE CAKES ‘When cooking hot eakes on a grid- dle tie three tablespoonfuls of salt in a strong white cloth. When the grid- dle is hot, just before pouring on the batter, rub the saltbag over it and the cakes will not stick and there will be no smoke. CONCERNING WOMEN Japanese widows = designate them- selves by the arrangement of their hair and also signify whether they de- sire to marry again. In the treasury department at Wash- ington are women employss who can count paper money at the rate of 1,000 notes in five or six minutes.

While the kegs were con- structed with 2 serlous purpose their ineffectiveness resulted in being one of the few of the humorous episodas of this serious conflict. Barly in Jamuary of 1778, when the British were occupying Philadelphia, there were a great many miner opera- tions about the city, some of which were directed by the patriotg against the Brit- ish army and fleet stationed there. The shipping passed to and fro along the riv- er, and was frequently assalled at dif- ferent point by the Americans, sometimes from the shore, and sometimes with boats and small crafts and the vessels in the harbor were a temptation té patriots and their ingenuity to invent means to de- stroy them. . Finally David Bushnell, the imventor of the American torpedo, as well as of other submarine machinery, prepared a number of “Infernals” as the British termed them, and set them afloat in the Delaware river a number of miles above the city in order to ammoy the royal shipping. The excitement began In the early morning of January 5, and became a subject of gemeral alarm and tior, ending in much of the British. When the alarm of ex- plosion first occurred the whole city was set in commotion. Horns, drums and trumphets everywhere sounded to arms with appalling noise, and cavalry and horsemen dashed to and fro I gay con- fusion. The kegs which gave this dire alzrm were made in Bordentown. They were to be charged with powder and fitted with spring triggers, which would ex- plode them upon comtact with a hard substance. One .of these kegs got adrift and floated to Philadelphia, and upon an. attempt to secure it by sev- eral boys in a boat, it exploded, kill- ing and injuring several of them. ‘This put the British on the qui vive, and upon the appearance of other kegs a few days afterwards they were mercilessly bowbarded untfl every head of every kez was beaten in. The kegs themselves could not be seen, be- ing under water, ‘but the buoys that floated them were visible. It so hap- pened, however, that at the very time (on January 8, 1778) when the scheme ‘was set in operation, the British fear- ing the making of ice had warped in | their shipping to the wharves and so escaped much of the intended mischief.
