ously considered, he has taken the one and only view of the matter that ought to be expected, That he would make a strong vote getting candidate should his name come up at election time might well be appreciated, but could not fail to arise in his mind the pogition in which he would be regarded as placing his organization, through his position in which it would be readily un- derstood he had gained political recogni- tlon. 4 Perhaps he has not actually been put to the test of having his name seriously considered for the uppointmnet, but he has nevertheless done what would be ex- pected of him. By not waiting for an actual offer af the appointment but tak- ing steps to indicate his position the mo- ment that rumor had come to his gtten- tlon regarding the use of his name clear- 1y discloses his attitude fully in keep- ing with what was to be expected. It serves to emphasize anew the fact that has been repeatedly stated that the American Legion is not engaged in the political game. &isrwich Bulletin | umd Goufict 126 YEARS OLD Printed every dey fn the yeer except, Sunday, Subscription price 13 & Week: Gfc & month: §6.00 * ez Botered st the Pesteffice st Norwich, Comm, o weeond-claes matter. ‘ Tetephone Caffe. jotin Job Reom, 33-.

That at least was the sentiment of the country at the time and it has been repeatedly substan- tlated. The country has looked on with Interest and approval at the excellent progress that has been made by the bud- get commissioner in putting into effect the new system. That it has not been!| acquainted with all the obstacles that he has encountered is to be anticipated. That he has had a hard tussle can best be appreciated by those who have been In close touch with government bureaus and departments. It is well known, however, that it is easier to bring about biz expenditures of government money thap it is to try to check it and intro- duce economy and better business ad- ministration. Some idea of what the director of the budget has encountered can be gathered from the talk which he gave to govern- ment officlals, high and low, the past wedk, when he showed the trouble en- countered in endeavoring to get a guan- tity of army shirts used by the marines which meant a saving of $24,000, but which would not have been done except for his insistence because of a slight dif- ference in the shade of the material the shirts were made of. | This idea of failing to do things in the way that a corporation or business house was again well illustrated by his broom story where the navy Insisted upon or- dering a certain specified kind of u broom when it could have had 350,000 brooms, which didn’t quite meet the spe- cifications but swept just as well for nothing. Waste through a fallure to make the best possible use of material avallable is one of the expensive features of federal government. It is one of the instances of adhering to the bureaucratic red tape regardless of what the cost may be and it is to the credit of President| Harding that he has named a man of the ability and determination of Direc- tor Dawes to put the budget system into operation and put an end to the waste- ful acts in various departments. It probably doesn’t please those who are being criticized or those who have long been engaged in following out such ex- travagant policies but it is making a de- cided hit with the country.

This cut ex- penses and made a fare reduction pos- sible. As to the safety of the one-man cars In comparison with the two-man cars Stone & Webster has kept a record In 13 companies with the result that it Is shown that With one-man cars operated simost five million miles further than the two-man cars the accidents were but 3.8 per 10,000 car miles for the one-man cars to 5.76 for the two-man cars. Like- | wise the total number of accldents was less, the cost of the accidents was less, the number of accidents with important injuries was 512 for the one-mar cars to 805 for the two-man cars while the difference was even greater in connec- tion with trivial accidents in favor of the one-man typs of cars. With such cars being operated at less sost, both as to wages and cost of power and greater safety being assured the public while efficlency in the service is being maintained and the fare redue- tions hastened the public as well as the operating companies has reason to wel- gome the chanpe. there can be little quesion but what the automobile can be used for purposes that conflict serfously with college training and that is apparently the point which the Princeton president is endeavoring to emphasize. Inasmuch’' as he believes it Is needed it is well that he should en- deavor to check a bad practice. th EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Few grievances éver perish for want of an| airing.

It dosen’t appear just whers the ad- vocacy of Commander MacNider of the American Legion as the successor to Sen- ator Kenyon in the senate originated, ex- cept that being from Iowa and promi- pently in the public eye at the present time because of his position he was re- od a3 a2 man who could fill the posi- satisfactorily. Possibly it was thought that he would be the better plaged for the advancement of such leg- islation as the Leglon Is urging. S0 far as the qualifications of MacN1- ger @re concerned there is po reasou tp Delleve but what he would give Towa and the nation econscientious representation ip the upper house of congress. No ong will doubt but what he would measare WP far better than same who have been &locted to that body, but he will never- theless be applauded for hastening to de- ¢lare that he is not in politics, that the organization he heads Ig not and that he tould not permit his name to be comsid- ¥red for the vacaney.

Alternate In lavers until the dish is full, having crumbs for the top layer. Cover and bake for halt an hour. Serve hot with hard sauce. Baked Apple Dumplings: Make a rich biscult dough, roll tmnp azid"cnl' into triangles. Prepare tart cooking apples by paring, coring and quartering. Place them on the crust, dust thickly with clnnamon and sugar and fold the crust about them, patting them Into balls. Lay in a buttered pan, pour a little water about them, dust the tops with cinna. mon and sugar and place a plece of but. ter on each Aumpling. Baké about half an hour.

If dishes cannot be washed immedi- ately after using, pour a little boiling water over them, and when you are ready to wash them the will much easier. > A dash of dslicate perfume may be added as the final touch to the toi- lette. Care must be taken that it is not too strong, for nothing is more disagreeable to the rest of the world. Flour that has been allowed to get damp invariably makes heavy cakes and puddings. It should always be kept in the driest place, and far making cakes should be slightly warmed be- fore using. . WHEN USING ELECTRICITY Be careful never to turn on or off electricity while standing on a wet or even damp floor. There is danger of the current passing through the body. This is particularly applicable where wWater is often spilled, as in a bathreom, kitchen or laundry. WHEN BUYING RUGS In selecting the proper designs in rugs one is guided by the size of the room and its furnishings. Deep com- plicated "horders may be safely used on the carpet of any large room, par- ticularly in rooms magnificently fur- nished, but should be avoided in small rooms, for they not only make the room seem smaller but 'k the rst- ful effect. 2 CRACKS IN FURNITURE Unsightly cracks in furniturg may be filled in with beeswax. First soften the wax until it ig of the consistency of putty, then press it firmly and smooth- ly into the cracks with a thin steel knife. Sandpaper ‘over the surrounding wood and work the dust into the bees wax. This giveg a wood finish or col- or and when the furniture is varnished. the cracks will have disappeared. - Beeswax is better than putty, for putty soon dries, crumbles “and falls out, while the wax will rémain for an indefinite length of time without change. DICTATES OF FASHION Cornflower blue crepes are not only shown for spring but at present are extensively worn. Drop earrings of jade and jet alone or in combination are worn for street wear, and earrings of all types at night. Chains of many kinds are wound around the arms these days instead of being worn around the throat. A craze for heirloom and all antigue Jjewelry is apparent. Satin hats, particularly the highly polished satins, are beginning to ap- pear. 7 Colored umbrellas outnumber black ones and purple seems "the favorite color. Paisley bands continue to trim black and other crepes and Paisley blouses and hats continue to be worn by smart women. A little of everything, but no over- doing of any one thing enters into the trimming schemes for spring apparel. Yarn embroideries are favored on tweeds; chenile and narrow ribbon, silk velvet filet braid and wood bead cloths, Braids are partial to the newer jac- quard weaves or chromite treatments in color. Buttons are used consevatively, in nearly every instance with new colored buttons matching cloth and trime. Braids applied; two colors of cloth or combined silk and cloth, are picot edged together; grosgrain ribbon and self folds are used in applied or bind- ing form; tiny brass rings or nailhead novelties are other decorations. Suede pockets and wigwam fringes on tweeds; velvet backs to peaked rever collars on topcoats; fur orduve- tyn inlays have also been seen. NEW HAT TRIMMING The new matchstick trimming is used in novel ways; the separate gticks are set close together directly out from the hat lige porcupine quills and these cover cuffs of small upturned shapes. The sticks are used in still another way, for they are threaded through a very narrow straw braid and made into an unusual chain band taht stands out from the hat jtself. Seashells in all. sorts of colors are used in many ways, one large tam being entirely covered in strands of heavy floss, at the end of each strand a seashell in the same color weighing it down. Sets are shown which show an allover visco cloth used for a toque with motifs of contrasting’ colors straw and bugles as the trimming, and the very wide scarf of taffeta, with the traw motifs on the ends. Another set also of the allover visca cloth has a scarf of crepe that is interesting for the fact that on one end it is shirred into a peasant cuff, through which the hand is placed to give the effect of a sieeve. Parrots of all colors are used, black and white and brown and red: many little lovebirds in brilliant colors and making use of the new French idea, cow. | Evansville, Tnd., is the latest city to ~ Whenever practicable, hav gflt’i:‘:‘ the roor 088-cul nt of alr 44 Window boards, simple means for letting air in Quring the winte: one should entrance for fresh air and an salte air at opposite sides of Where there cannot be a er e established by | gp,enlng 2 window both at top and bot- om. de- flecting it upward so that the air will reach the breathing zone withoutchill- ot sue feet, are excellent.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY Salt in the bottom of the shoes in winter will help the circulation and prevent the feet from getting cold. This precaution is common and effective amqng Maine woodsmen. " Don’t allow many visitors in the sick room at one time. Three a day, one at a time is sufficient. Any orders from the attending physician on the exclusion of visitors should be implic- itely obeyed. Highly seasoned foods must be bar- red from the convalescent's diet. No- thing can so upset the stomach as strongly spiced dishes, and they should find no place on the invalid's tray. Even salt must be used in greater moderation for the sick than for the well. Some physicians bar it altogeth- er. Sugar must be replaced by sacchar- ine in certain forms of illness. Youll find the cuticle acts better after a bran bath. It will be soft and won't hurt the least little bit when you 'shove it back to make the pretty little half moons youre so proud of.

TO KEEP HANDS SOFT This lotion is excellent for regular use to keep the hands soft and white: Tragacanth shavings, 80 grains Glycerin, 6 teaspoonfuls. Boric acld powder, 1-2 ounce. Oil of rosemary, 3 drops. » Rain water or distilled water, 1 pt. Slowly boil all except the rosemary, stirring frequently until the tragacanth is entirely dissolved. Water must be added from time to time to make up for evaporation, and prolonged boiling is necessary. When cool add the rose- mary and enough water to fill a pint bottle. Rub half a teaspoonful into the hands two or three times a day, after washing the hands and before they : quite dry. his lotion correctly made should be a clear jelly thin enough to pour. FRUIT IN GELATIN When gelatin has been dissolved and become cold, fruit and nutmeats can be placed in it in layers or rows, or arranged in fanciful shapes. Pour a little of the gelatin in the mold, set in a cold place, and when hardened arrange on it the fresh or canned fruit or the nutmeats chosen for the des- sert. Add just enough cold gelatin to hold the fruit in place and let it hard- en. Then pour on the rest of the gela- tin, or add more layers of fruit in the same manner as the first one.

The first of the eminent Scotch- men to be apprehended were the Earls of Kilmarnock and Cromartie, and Lord Balmerino. Lord Lovat was afterward taken, on a charge of having given ad- vice and assistance to the Pretender. It was not until the month of July the following year that Kilmarnock, Cromartie and Balmerino were brought up to answer for their treasons before minster Hall. The two former pleaded the House of Peers assembled at West- guilty, but Lord Balmerino pleaded not guilty, on which he was put on trial Throfgi Chest ; Pains 3 and convicted on the fullest evidence. ‘When the unfortunate noblemen 2 brough Up'to receive sentenice, the two ho had pleaded guilty most humbly &tfiq' to use their influ- ence the King in their favor, but Balmerino scorned to ask such a vor and smiled at his approaching Great interest being exerted fo save the earls, it was hinted to Balmerino that his" friends ought to exert them- selves in his behalf; to which, with great magnanimity he replied: “T very indifferent about my fate, bu had the two noble lords been my friends they would have squeezed my name in among thei The Countess of Cromartie, who had a very large family, was incessant in her application for the pardon of her husband.
