Tonight is the nicht for the spetial town meeting called for the purpose of endeavoring to upset the daylight ar- rangement, which is now in effect here in accord with the wishes of a major- ity of the voters as expressed at a le- galig cailed and conducted town meeting two weeks ago. It is not a meeting that daylight sav- ers should disregard. As long as they are being required to declare their pref- erence again they should make it a Foint to be at the meeting, stay until the opportunity to vote, to which they are ‘entitled, is provided and insist upon the continuance of the plan which keeps Norwich on daylight time and in accord with other progressive communities. The purpose of the meeting is to have a special voting day authorized whereby the expression of the people would be corded as during an election. It ¥ volves an appropriation to meet the sxpense of such a special election and terther attendance on the part of ths voters. an unjustified move and it is pos- uble for the voters tonight to continue laylight time by refusing to authorize the special election. Opinion on changing the time during the summer has varied in other com- munities, but even those who have o posed it or those who have favored have yielded to the expression of popular de: utmost to obstruct and balk have ac- cepted the verdict and showed them- seives good losers. Norwich should have the benefits of daylight saving and a legally called town meeting is capable of ddaling with the matter. i Tonight's meeting is czlled{lor seven o'clock standard time, or eight o'clock daylight time, the vicinity at vote to sustain uight ago. A vote against the special election means the continuance of daylight sav- ng and prevents the imposition of a seedless expense of $1,000 en the town.

Reclamation of waste land s by no means a new idea. It has been golng on for many years with excellent results, Almost every city and town can boast of a certain valuable section that was formerly poor, unused and perhaps swampy land. T~ i= particularly true of big citles, while there are sections of the country where great acreages have been redeemed through drainage or irpigation. But In spife of all that has been done 'n this direction it Is appreciated how small the accom ent in comparison with the poss ties when it Is reported by the department of agriculture that 40 per cent of the land of the United States is mot tillable. That is of course a com- parison of tillable and non tillable land. Some of this nontillable land is beyond redemption. It couldn't be made tillab but there are great expanses that are today useless because nothing has been done to overcome the unfit physical con- dition. The condition is one that is brought more and more to attention when great- er production is called for and when in- creased demands are made. to meet w arger population. Buy the fact that no use at all is being made of such land Is reason enough for the devotion of greater attention thersto when it is re- alized the thousands of acres of swampy land, thousands of acres of cutover woodland and thousands of acres of artd land could be put profitable the production of crops of kinds, to use In| various Like any other undertaking it calls for work. The problems will not solve themselves, the marsh land will not drain fte the barren tracts are denled the fequisite amount of water-un- less someone gets busy and does the draining, the damming and the ditching thet makes it possible for crops to be raised. Even then there may be condi- tions more favorable to some crops than| others, but that adjustment can easily be made as the land that.is now prac- tically useless is made avallable. Land redemption work has a long road to vel before the job is completed, = EFFECTS OF GAS WARFARE, When there are those who speak up| In advoecacy of poisonous gas in connec- | tion with military operatiaps there is an| inclination to believe that it is less gory and means a quicker and less painful death, They regard it as a war imple- ment that eliminates some of the hor- rors of warfare, and for that reason ought not to be eliminated. From the figures which are furnished by the New England district of the vet- erany’ bureau it appears that there are in this distriet 14,000 young men who partielpated in the war on the firing line or close to it who are still suffering from their servicoe because of nervous diseases. Not all, but many of these cases are directly traceable to the use of polson gas and the director states that doctors are finding that thg polson gas has had its effects upon the braln and spinal cord instead of belng con- fzed as it had previously been bellevel ‘lers into 'it, that new and more Be at the town hall or! {like to do all the to the lungs. At the rate of two a day cases of nervous disorders are be- ing sent to the hospitals from New Eng- infflextes the serious and, it dealt chiefly with the respiratory or- 8 but it was an expérience during war, after the resort or the aggres- sors to the use of gas had forced oth- power- ful gases were constantly heing sought and employed as fast as available. It is because of that siclation of the rules of war that thougands are fighting the effects today, and in many cases prob- ably hopelessly. The use of poison gases was banned before the war. The endorsement of that' idea and the entrance into new treaty relations against it in the future was one of the highly commendable mets of the recent conference in this coun- try. Perhaps no better reason could be wanted for doing such a thing than the knowledge of the experiences of those who have suffered from its ef- fects, -_— ENDORSEMENT, NOT BEBUKE, Efforts to have the results in Pennsyl- vania's recent primary regarded as a re- buke to the administration at Washing- ton are overstrained. The contest for governor was conducted entirely on state lssues. Gifford _Pinchot, who threw his hat into the ring was out- spoken against those who have heen conducting state affairs and against the combination that was supporting such conditions with a, view to having them continued. His candidacy appealed - to the state as the result of his campaign and he received the nomination in a very close fight, but mo one would be more surprised than he to learn that his victory for gubernatoria] nomination was a rebuke to Washington. Just where the national issues figured there was overwhelming evidence that the Keystone state republicans have no fault to find with the federal adminis- tration or the part which its member of the senate whom they had a chance to endorse took -therein. Senator Pepper was the only member of the upper house of congress who was up for renomination. He has been an out and out supporter of the adminis- tration.and he has taken a fearless stand upon matters which are before the country and congress. Senator Pepper was renominated by such a large ma- jority that his opposition amounted to nothing. His campaign was conducted on national lines and it was therefors the vote given him which reflected the attitude of Pennsylvania republicans upon Washington. Those claiming that Washington has been rebuked indicate what they have hoped for rather than what was actual- ly accomplished, , THE GENOA CONFERENCE. There are those who do not regard the Genoa conference as a failure. They certainly cannot look upon it as a suc- cess. It has met and adjourned. It has found out what the position of soviet Russia is, though there were good Tea- sons for anticipating that, and it has brought about an elght months non-ag- gressive truce and a decision to gather next month at The Hague for the pur- pose of deliberating further for the bet- terment of the European ecomomic situ- ation, So far from accomplishing the pro- gramme has beén the Genoa gathering that there is little in it to satisfy those who have spent their time and efforts there. In view of the fact that no out- break seems ijmminent the greatest ac- complishment seems to have been the de- cision to make another try, barring pos- sibly the opportunity of directly stating to the soviet delegates what the allied attitude is and what is expected of them. \ Lloyd George could hardly have over- looked the soviet attitude that develop- ed, except that he might have carried the idea that Russia would manifest its appreciation of the efforts that were be- ing put forth in its behalf and take a reasonable view of the duty that de- volved upon it in trying to get the oth- ers to help it onto its feet. That the work at Genoa was not car- ried out in the order preferred by most of the nations is evident. Russia mono- polized it from the beginning and it is Russia of course that is Tesponsible for the failure to do something really worth while, It remains to be seen whether the result proves beneficial or not. The British premler took advantage I his farewell address to tell the soviets a thing or two about future conduct. He made it plain that Burope was anxious to help Russia, but that Russia cannot dodge payment of its debts, and they cannot entirely disregard the advice that has come from Washington where em- phasis has been placed upon the import- ant fact that those looking for outside help should first indicate that they are disposed to help themselves. Genoa {s over. It shouldn’t be quick- ly forgotten if The Hague conference is going to amount to anything. EDITORIAL NOTES.

Face powder should alyays be of the finest quality one can huf and should bs chosen to blend with the skin. If the skin is chapped, dry or wrin- kled, a special cream made with vegeta- ble cis should be used. This sort is most effective if used after the skin has heen washed preferably at bed time. A salt water bath is one of the cheap- est, easiest and most beneficial to take. Sea salt can be purchased for a few cents a pound and a couple of handfuls dissolved in the tub are all that are needed. ; A half pound of oatmeal in a )ag put in the bath water and squeezed 8 bit so its milky cssence becomes part of the water will make the bath soften- ing and bleaching to the gkin. Toilet wa- ter or eau de cologne is delightful out somewhat expensive. the matter of batiing, as in that of we must remember that the body should be stimulated by’ cold, but not chilled too much A cold bata should be followed by a reaction, the blood. ve s2ls of the skin enlarg: zain arnd the skin becoming warm and glowing. Brisk rubking with a rough towcl helps to se- cure this reaction. If no reaction fol- lows, /the bath is toc cold or too pro- icnged or the physical condition is such that cold baths are inadvisable, A BOY'S ROOM.

Next picturas of birds and animals were cut from maga- zines colored, ‘and then pasted on the wall,_ in the form of a frieze. It was great fun, and the boy derived pleasure and: at the same time learned many things about animals and developed a knack for grouping. TG_KEEP AWAY MOTHS. Furs are put away with a feeling that there is a' certain risk of moths un- less the furs are sent to a proper cold storage place, but the following method will be found ‘completely satisfactory as a home-made-moth-proof method. Procure several Jarge paper bags, making sure that mot the smallest hole is present. Put the furs into them to- gether with a few camphor balls, and vaste the ends of the bags together. No moth can get inside and your preclous possessions will be quite safe for the summer months. Tc store carpets, sprinkle thickly with powdered ‘hitter apple,” which may be bought from any chemist, and roll up tightly, sprinkling the outside with more of the powder before covering with sey- erai layers of newspaper. . ks ABOUT ; ATERIALS. ‘Wash dresses are by all odds the bes things to choose for girls of 12 years or ess, and each year sees these garments enjoying a longer season demand. Ginghams, chambrays and tissues are in high favor at present, with sateen, English print and pongee much approv- ed. The figured sateens and English prints come in a wide range of colors and patterns dnd make charming! dresses both for children and grown- ups. Pongee is a splendid choice if a good quality is purchased. PICTATES OF FASHION, Bright hats far outnumber biack. Flower-trimmed hats are numerous, Red chiffon gowns and those in coral and flame are beaded and plain. ‘The one-strap pump and the pump ‘with elastic at the side, both in bins Black suvede Bmbroldery. matching that coat was used for a small Tl worn at the races. ‘While many capes are belng worn, a good many women are Wearing crepe 2oats embroidered, boun One black one with appl! ! had black kid in apple and cherry motif for its trimming. length, was worn with a plain blue serge skirt. Knitted silk dresses are seen under many of the silk capes that are heing worn. Tan and rust shades appear to be in the lead. 4 Large hats are being much used for street wear, many of them with huge ribbon bows and others with dripping fringes of glycerine ostrich plumes. Much black lace Is noted in the ev- ening gowns worn recently, some en- tirely of the lace and others in vari- ous graceful combinations with chif- fon. TR e GAY FABRICE ARE USED. The day of the untrimmed black crepe de chine dress is past. All spring cos- tumes are remarkable for their embroid- ery, or because they are combined with gay contrasting fabrics. A special men- tion should be made of the emphasis placed on meta] embroidery, whether in steel or copper color. ‘This year dressmakers are showing more elaborate afternoon dresses in crepe de chine, georgette and lace. e reason prhaps that Amricans haye not been more interested in this type of clothes is that they pass the hours be- tween 4 and 7 in very different sur- roundings. HAT TRIMMINGS. ‘Wool embrojdery continues to be the vogue. A black hat of rather large brim was decorated with a life-size parrot in gay colors. {t was embpo¥pred on the feft side of the crown to partly decorate both crown and brim. Just simple tassels are seen on many sports hate. A tassel of white wool is allowed to fal off ths «ft side of the brim of a bright red or green straw. ‘White wool grapes decorate silk or straw hats of the flat, blousy tam style. ' NEEDLEWORK NOTES. There are possibilities in the barrel hoop. Let the male member of the fam- ily cut it in one place for you, then wind it with ribbon of a desired tint, snap it across the baby's crib or buggy and tie his toys on. While you are busy you will not be interrupted to pick np the things he has thrown down. - In sewing on buttons it is said that if the knot is placed on the right side of the cloth. directly under the button, the thread will be less likely to break and be- come loosened, and the buton will remain on longer. If you are making silk button- holes, use linen for the “stay” thread and take a fresh piece of silk for each buttonhole. Curtains that have started to rip at the edge will Jast much longer if you will im- mediately stitch up the little rips, to pre- vent further tearing. Keep a crochet hook in the sewing bas- ket, then when the end of ja drawstring or tape disappears within /its casing it can easily be drawn out with the hook. LUNCHEON SET. A set made of cretonne will save much washing of plain linen ones. Buy a cretonne of suitable pattern, paying attention to its washing qualities. The easiest way is to have a round centerpiece and oval individuals of the same long diameter as the center. This gives room for glasses and bread and butter piate. The round table is almost completely covered by the center apd four nlace doilies. Choose a harmonizing shade of plain chambrey of nice quality to give a finish. Build all around with pieces cut in a true bias, being careful to cast on. Hem down on wrong side, making the finish free from visible stitching. Small spots are not visible in the figured ma- terial, making its use an economy of labor. AN ECONOMICAL PICNIC BASKET. A properly fitted picnic basket is be- yond the reach of most purses, but there is mo reason why a very good substitute cannot be made at home, Procure a small laundry basket about 20 inches long and 14 deep, and line it— including the lid—with suitable material so that it may be easily washed. Allow three or four inches extra ail round the lid so that when it is shut there is a good piece to overlap and keep out rain and dust. Blapket-stitch the edges of this with some coarse cotton, so that it is neat and strong. Sew the lining into position Wil a coarse needle und very fine twine. Now cut two strips. double the depth of the basket and two inches longer and wider. Double these over, shiny side out, and blanket-stitch the edges together. Picrce holes at the ends, a quarter of an inch apart, and sew the two strips into the form of a cross; slip this into the basket and sew into position, thus form- ing four oblong-shaped compartments. One will contain paper plates, cups, forks, spoons and a packet of paper nap- kins, another twe enamel tins for foods, the third for a spirit lamp, kettle and a bottle of spirit, and the fourth should be devoted to tins for sGgar and tea and a bottle for milk. A very thin tablecloth may be laid over the top of ali. Don't fix straps on the inside of the lid for khives, ete., as it will take away from the elasticity of the basketwork when “just one more thing” has to be crammed in. CONCERNING WOMEN Japan now has several femals base ball teams. The wages of chorus girls in Austral- ia have been fixed at $20 per week. There are 264 peremanent women civil servants witht salaries of $2,500 or more in Great Britain. 3 The Post Office, Pensions and Labor Ministry Departments in Great Britain employ 8,000 women. 3 The Ohio Federation of Women's Clubs has begun & determined fight against unsightly billboards. Mrs. Constance M Coltman alternates with her husband in the pulpit of the Congregational church at Maidvale, England. From ebservation made by Dr. Ed- ward F. Bigelow, nature study gulde of the Camp Fire Girls of America, it is claimed that girls are braver than boys. FOR THE FIREPLACE An ecopomical log, excellent to start a wood fire, can be made by rolling scraps from the waste wasket into a plece of newspapere and ‘shaping this into ‘the form of a log.

ECONOMY. Norwich Town, May, 20, 1922, | Famous Folks of Fiction JEAN VALJEAN (By H. IRVING KING—Copyrighted) Born to toil and trouble as the sparks fly upward, Jean Valjean, the hero of Victor Hugo’s story of “Les Miserables,” was condemned to the galleys when a boy for stealing bread for his sister's starving family. Upon his discharge on probation he came begging to good Bis- hop Myrial who gave him food and a place to sleep. In the night he made off with the bishop’s silver candlesticks, was caught, and brought back. The bishop told a pious lle, saying that he had given the candlesticks to the lad, and after arousing the dormant good in the soul of Jean Valjean, sent him away. That night he robbed a boy, a wander- ing Savoyarad musician. But the good seed planted by the bis- hop had fallen on good ground. Valjean felt remorse for the first time in- his life, turned over a new leaf, and, as M. Madeleine, eventually became a wealthy manufacturer, philanthropist and mayor. The robber of the Savoyard had be- come known to the police, and in time a man was arrested eharged with be- ing Jean Valjean, a conviet who had “broken his ban,” the penalty for which was life imprisonment. To save the man Valjean revealed himself and took { his punishment. Escaping from the gal- leys he recovered a fortune which he Lad hidden before his senterce, adopted Co- sette, an orphan girl, whose mother he had once befriended, and, as M Fanch- elevent, lived in Paris busy in good ‘works. But broken law, unsatisfied, threatens and confronts him at everey turn of his simple and blameless life. When Co- sette marries he estranges himself from her lest she, also, be brought under the shadow of his always impending doom. He dies in the loneliness and poverty to which he had voluntarily condemn. ed himself, Cosette coming to him as his spirit fled. Valjean is a type of those to whose dark souls kindness comes like rays cf vivifying light. A single act of the good bishop transformed him from a menace into a benefactor of his race; a saint who explatory harfiships in this life made him worthy of the life eternai. IN THE PUBLIC EYE Brig. Gen. Horatig Gates Gibson, U. S A., retired, who celebrates his ninety- fifth birthday today, is the oldest living graduate of the United States Military academy just seventy-five vears ago.He was appointed to West Point from Ien- nsylvania and was grdduated from the academy just séventy-five year ago. He saw active service in the Mexican war and was present at the battles of Vera Cruz, Puebla and other notable engage- ments and entered the City of Mexico with the American Army. The begin- ning of the civil war found him with the rank of a captain of artillery. He served throughout the war and was sev- eral times advanced in rank for gallant conduct in battle. General Gibson was retired from the army in 1891, leaving behind him a record of forty-five years of “active service. Since his retiremcnt he has made his home in Washington, D.
