Collectively and individually the eix. New England states can well claim that they are important enough to justify the maintenance of a camp large enough for the mobilization of a division if the need should ever arise. Such a camp is in fact, indispensable to the proper devel- opment of the land defenses of New England and of the United States, Firategically, for this territory, no bet- jer point than Aver could have been se- poted, and the menace which now con- fronts it should arouse New England and the New England delegation in con- gress to use every means possible to see that Camp Devens and its build- ings shall be retalned substantially as they are today, THE FARMER'S DOLLAB. Ameriea's farm crops this year are roughly estimated at $12,000,000,000, with a probability that the total value will be more. The money paid to the far- mers for what they raise will be uséd in liquidating loans, erecting or repairing building, buying machinery, implements and merchandise. No inconsiderable part of it may find its way into the pockets of the automobile manufactur- ers, it the farmers have sufficlent sur- plus, because they have come to the re- alization that a motor car is almost es- sential on the farm. The Wall Street Journal says: 1t the average farm price of crops and live stock in 1931 be compared with the wholesale price of all other com- modities it will be found that the pur- chasing power of the farmers’ dollar was about 67 cents. In other words, it would take one dollar's worth of farm products to buy 67 cents' worth of other commodities. ‘The Individual farmer's return Is never larger. It a return on the value of the land be excluded, his wage for his labor, risk and manage- ment averages less than $500 a year. Consequently, when that wage shrinks in purchasing power, the effect on bus- fness is quickly felt as it was in 1930 and 1921, It is estimated that the lowest point in farm purchasing power was during the close of 1921 when the buying value of the farmer's dollar fell to 62 cents. There has been Improvement since then in the price of farm products, and an- other important thing to take into con- sideration 1s that this year's crops are being produced at less cost than for- merly. Commodity prices have respond- ed to upward tendencies, just as farm products have become mare valuable, thus the farmer’s dollar is not worth quite as much as it was several months ago. The Wall Strest Journal thinks the present purchasing value of the farm dollar is about 72 cents, The farmer was hard hit, it is pointed out, when he raised crops at the peak of inflation and was forced to eell them when deflation was well under way. He was the first hit and also the hardest hit because commodity prices did not begin to fall until the prices of farm products had reached new low levels. Eventually, however, these things right themselves. The farmer’s condition 1 not yet ideal, but it is much improved. LLOYD GEORGE AND POINCARE, The coming conferenee in London be- tween M. Poincare and Lloyd George, which is scheduled to begin early this week, may easily prove to be one of the most important meetings of its kind since the armistice. It seems Inevita- ble that the scope of the confersnee will be broadened beyond the subject whieh is to be discussed at the initial meet- ing, which is the question of German repraations. London reports Indieate that there s expectation that Italy and Bel- um will be invited to participate In e discussions as their scope ex- tends. That there will be stromg points of greement is apparent at the outset. If there is to be any international loan to Germany, the French will Insist, it is predicted, that control of Germany's fi- nances, must be, in some way or an- other, n inter-allled hands. While ad- mitting the desirability of the rehabilita~ tion of Germany, the French will not be unmindful of their own land and will claim that a part at least of the money available should be applied to France. M. Poincare will not be forgetful of the proposed compact whereby Great Brit- ain would agree to guarantes France against external aggression. At none of these points are the Brit- h views likely to eolncide with those of France, and the British government is ready to point to the comparatively light direct taxation imposed upon the French tax payer, as an argument against the use by France of any mon- ey that may be raised by an interna- tional loan for the use of Germany. There will be little enhusiasm in Great Britain for a blanket no aggression compact; and France in her turn is not likely, without such a compact, to meet the British request for a reduction in the size of her land armament. One substantial element of signifi- cance in the meeting of the two premiers is seen, however, in the fact that they | are mot to exchange their views through he ordinary channels of diplomacy, but will meet In a personal conference. Thisg is an Indication of an earnest effort to reach a basis of agreement and prevent a breach in the Anglo-French entente, which must be preserved if any lasting Dprogress is to be made in the recon- struction of Europe.

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Good cooks demand sharp knives. Sliced cold potatoes can be warm. ed over in milk. Paint shoe soles with varnish to prevent them from wearing out. Soap should always be dissolved be. fore using in a washing machine. Needles and pins will never rust in a cushion filled with coffee grounds. cheesecloth squares on hand in the kitchen for Keep several clean covering food. A little piece of sandsoap through the meat chopper will sharp en the knives. Oil paintings ean be cleaned with out injury, with a soft cloth and boil ed linseed oil. Brooms will keep soft and pliant longer if hung in the cellarway. In summer food must be carefull watched or it will spoil. If the milk bottle stands on the doorsteps a min ute too long the milk may turn sour. It takes no longer to prepare ices than to make pies, and they are far more wholesome in hot weather. Bread and butter, cheese and beans, nuts and sugar, are among the best foods for the hard worker. If_one's finger is swollen so tight. ly that a ring will not come off, th best way to remove it is to dip ths finger in ice-cold soapsuds. The first principle of good packing is to pack so closely that nothing can move. Bxpress packages that are to travel a long distance should be sewed up in strong unbleached muslin over th paper wrapping. Instead of crushing old newspaper! and magazins into a paper bag, why not stack them in bundles and tie them up ? Whether you sell them or give them away, it is easier for the man who gathers them. WHY DISGUISE THE KITCHEN Most housewlves think it quite im. possible to serve meals in the kitchen unless that apartment has been dis guised as a dining room, usually a very poor attempt which does not de- ceive the most casual observer. Others take pride in having a prop. er kitchen, gas stove, or to cover up the spotless. ness of a clean sin] the kitchen just a ki and ceiling enamelled with and all the woodwork white to corres. pond. Such an undisguised kitchen relief after visiting many rooms wi curtains which gather grease and dus and where it is impossible to do any real cooking for fear of hurting som objeet which is not what it seems.

A good the first place, result can only be obtained by jud: ciously massagng with a good skin food, which should be applied freely and massaged well and lightly into the pores until absorbed, thus cleans- ing and bringing them to a state o healthy activity. If a little sympathetic care and at tention are given to the hands rounded curve, following the curve o the finger's end. “COMFY” FEET Summer, where pavements are hot, is not the best time in the worrld for people who tend to get footsore easily especially as the dry weather tempts women to go out in very flimsy shoes, which are not much protection to the feet. Footwear should be than lace-ups on Cuban heels. A fresh pair of stockings every day is a great comfort, and when only one worn they are so easy to rinse out at home. Good lisle gives the foo more protection against pavemen and shoe than cobwebby silk, and (in the country) is much against insects. DICTATES OF FASHION Printed silk dresses are made sim ply sometimes with lace trimmng. In the evening, look exquisite, made long, and slight ly draped. They do not look incon gruous with bobbed . hair, wearers complete their costumes fo the evening with large picture hat: and lace or Georgette wraps. more proo. Sweaters and hosiery on the same general tone have become an accepted mode. Lace gowns are favored in whit: and black. but the smartest people do not wear them in colors. A great many Georgette dresses are seen and also new fall beaded dresse: which seem to be beaded with more attention to designs, the Egyptian o peasant motifs preferred In the water, jersey race for popularity. Beach capes o terry cloth are worn, but not in tre mendous quantities, Some attractive effects are attain ed by combining red with pagoda dress, worked in red .on white ground, had over it a white cap bordered in embroidered motifs. a large white hat. In the lounges of the hotels the pre ponderance of all white costumes at. tracts the eve at once. Large lacy hat. and lingerie dresses look most ap- propriate for Sunday morning. Skirts are increasing in width an length as the season progresses. Neck wear Is higher and wider, and fanc sleeves take on a length harmonizing with the gown. Some of the figured sports dresse: of crepe shows clusters of fruits, inl run and make no effort to hide rews of shining plates, a polished Why not have chen with walls wWhite paint, which can be washed down when it shows the least sign of being soiled, is a and nails at the end of a few months their conditions will show a great improve- ment. The hands should be immersed in warm, soap water for a few mo- ments. Then with a soft piece of old linen or silk press back the cuticle of each nail, separately. Use a manicure scissors (never cut the nails with any- thing else) and trim the edges of the nails: after which, shape into a well- chosen with discretion, espectally on hot days. High heels are far more tiring to walk in sleeveless dresses and many white. A = a|ence over single girls for Government Red shoes with white hose were worn, and blue, gray and yellow, with a trim- ming of velvet or satin ribbon bind- ing, quilled at the neck, sleeve and skirt hem. Lace continues to be the popular evening frabric at the smart hotels. On the recent evening more than half the gowns worn were either of fine - | black or cream lace, alone or in com- Dbinaton. On the black gowns many touches of red were noted. VINEGAR TO THE RESCUE Wipe over steel fenders and fire- irons with vinegar and they will then clean and polish much more easily. That horrid smell caused by the con- tents of a pan bolling over on the stove can be eliminated by sprinkling vinegar on the spot. If your lamp has a new wick or one that doesn't give a good light, try soaking the wick thoroughly in vine- gar. When dry and replaced in the y [ lamp it will give a beautiful clear light and will not smoke. Gas burners can - [advantageously ~receive the same treatment in white vinegar. WHITE PUMPS White pumps grow more elaborate as the season advances. Of course the all-white pump is not seen often this summer, though nothing is daintier for wear with an all-white costume. A - | touch of scarlet, of bright blue or green e | marks most of the white shoes. e FORMAL HEADWEAR Cloth of silver and cloth of gold are conceded to be the proper thing for formal evening headwear, and if you are rather proud of your eyes, be pre- pared to make a sacrifice to fashion. e|for it is decreed that the hat is more important than the eye and should be g| Worn well over the face. 5| The hat worn by Claire Windsor, motion picture star, is of silver cloth, e|and the cord about the brim and around the crown s wound with pearls, The tiny pair of mercury wings in front, just a bit to the right side, are incrusted with the same prec- ious seed pearls. DRESSMAKING HINTS There are a number of lovely ways ?|to finish the serviceable and smart cretonne gowns. Organdie, in the pre- . | dominating color, may make an inch wide binding at sleeves, pocket and bateau neck. Through this ribbon in " |2 harmonizing color is run and tied in perky bows. Bither ribbon or a slen- der string belt is used and tied at the left front. * Another good-looking finish which is seen on a number of imported cretonne { " | frocks is buttonholing done in colored wools. And_stiil another binds the edges with linen. t| _ NEEDLEWORK NOTES To take the kinls out of wool which c|has been knitted, so that it may be used again, skein it and place it in a steamer over hot water for a few mo- ments. Baster the corner of four handker- so they form & solid| square when starting to embroider intials. In this manner, the work can be easily held in the embroidery hoops.

The shape is long and narrow. a In sewing lace on hems of dresses by hand, use a small embroidery hoop, holding the hoop in the left hand with the edge of ‘the hem about one-half inch from the edge of the hoop, the tightly and the lace placed rather loosely. e : CARRIER FOR BATHING SUITS A most useful mackintosh carrier for damp towels and bathing suits is - | easily made from a large square of white mackintosh, bound with white or_orange braid. Make four double loops of braid, measuring five-eighths of a yard long and fasten one to each corner of the mackintosh square. Slip the free ends of the loops through a small white bone ring, and then sew the four loops together, three inches from the top. | To close up the “carrier” slip down the ring. To open it, so that it lies out _|flat, draw the ring up. When shut it can be carried by the braid loops, slip- ped over the arm. To make the carrier stronger, two lengths of braid may be laid crosswa: from corner to corner of the carrier on the outside, fastened together with a few strong stitches where they cross one another in the center, (on no ac- count sew through the mackintosh ex- cept at the edges—to perforate it with a single stitch would spoil its water- ¢ | proof qualitise, and bind the ends in, *|under the binding which borders the cut edges of the mackintosh. It will help to support the weight when fill- ed with sodden bathing things. 1f the “mackintosh” appearance of the carrier is objected to, back it with a square of casement cotton of the same colour as the binding braid, of orange or navy blue, or green looks best—binding’ outside, and mackintosh lining, together, before adding the corner loops of braid. Made very much smaller, this same pattern makes a delightful sponge car- Tier for the bathroom. FOR INDOOR PLANTS t Fern and flower pots are not pret- t ty objects, and it is not always pos- sible to providé an artistic covering ¢lpot for all the growing plants one would like to have about the house in_the summer time. By transplanting the ferns and roots from the pots into small, round fruit - | baskets, however, the difficulty is ov- ercome, for the baskets may be gild- ed with enamel in a manner which ef- - | fectually conceals their humble origin. -| Cord or wire may also easily be threaded between the plaits, and the r | baskets hung up. A little moss press- s|ed over the mould is an improvement. CONCERNING WOMEN In Africa 20,000 small shells will purchase a wife. e| Women are considered the biggest buyers from retail dealers.

This makes the s [ flavor too strong. kind of white stock, 1 gill of unsweet- enede condensed milk or cream, 2 ta. blespoonfuls of grated cheese, the yolk of 1 egg, 1 dessertspoonful of chop- ped parsley, salt, pepper. Cut the macaroni into rings. Put the stock into a sauce-pan, bring to the boil, add the macaroni, and Sim- mer for four or five minutes. Work the yolk of egg and condensed milk or cream together and add the cheese. Draw the pan to the side of the fire and add the mixture to the soup. Stir over gentle heat until the mixture thickens, but do not let it boil. Sea- son, add the chopped parsley, and serve with dice of fried bread. Cream of Celery Soup—Break one stalk of celery into small pieces and pound these in a mortar. Add them to two-thirds of a cup of sweet milk and cook the mixture in the top of a dou- ble boiler for 20 minutes. Then thick- en with one-half tablespoon of but- ter melted and mixed to a paste with three-fourth tablespoon of flour, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Add one-fourth cup of cream, strain and serve. L.ETTERS TO THE EDITOR Agaln the Jewett City Cider. Mr. Editor: The gomments of “Inter- ested’ on the Jewett City cider case are the same that hundreds of others are giving in connection with the case. Per- sons in this locality who have known positively that the defendant in this ci- der case has sold hard cider for years, and since the Volstead act went into &f- fect, has done a rushing business flle- gally are wondering why he is not taken up for jerjury of the court as he testi- fied under oath in the civil court that he had never sold cider. He also said that he had never bought any apples for the making of cider, when his advertise- ment in the Norwich Bulletin has proved that he offering his price for them. A state ‘policeman bought cider direct from him recently, and testified to that effect and yet though he was fined for it he calmly says (for a weak jury) that he never sold. And they call that evi- dence that he should have the cider back. A few years ago, we remember when he was judge in the court, and he fined some of his neighbors for selling. He should be willing to take his own med- icine. But he is well versed in law and will use every means available to win out. The case was tried in the criminal court and he was fined on three counts. Then a jury composed of fair minded (?) men including a minister and two deacons and three farmer friends, paid no attention to the evidence before them but swallowed whole the plea of the at- torney, forgot entirely that they were supposed to use common sense and to the surprise of everyone, including the defendant and his attorney decided in favor of him. They were obliged to prove that he had not sold illegally, in order to bring in this verdict, and they would have a pretty hard task to g0 into detall and convince anyome within a radius of fifty miles where they could consclentiously agree upon that fact. They should all hang their heads and consider what an injustice they have done to the community, to the court and to themselves. They now claim, in weak defense from the scathing remarks of their verdict, that ‘there was not enough evidence. What about the 129 barrels seized? What about the measures, the glasses, etc., found in the cellar? What I about the class of men who have gone back and forth to the Griswold farm for Years with jugs, etc.? What about the testimony in regard to reputation? What about the testimony of a state police- man that he actually bought from the defendant? What have they to say? All this evidence came out in the criminal court, and he was found guilty, and fined. Every intelligent person for miles around have expressed their opiniot on these men who were put in a place to help justice win out, but failed. It is a degrading case throughout, and all the more so because the law courts are not courts of justice. It all depends on the lawyer's plea and the dollar sign in connection with it. But the federal authorities have shamed the fjury by taking charge of the case, and the de- fendant is shamed in his vicinity wheth- er justice rules out or mot. Our eyes and ears are very good- evidence after all. He may win out, by law, but it is tmpossible for him to win out truth- fully or homestly, for he wasn't in the right kind of a business to be counted in with the men who uphold themselves above debauchery. Tilegal business is a menace and men who will give a verdict on behalf of it belong In partnership with it, and such is the reputation of the six men who decided in favor of it They jump from respectabliity to degra- dation. 5 J. 4 W Lisbon, Conn., Aug. 5, 1932. Famous Literary Mysteries Who Wrote the “Satyricon?” Among classical forgeries—and there are many instances—the most noted is that of the famous “Satyricon,” which has been ascribed to Phtronius, the friend, the minister and finally the vie- tim of Nero.

In 2 library said to belong to Nicholas Cippi- | cus, at Treu, in Dalmatia, in a volume containing also manuscript coples of Ca- tullus, Tibullus and Proertius, he found that additional episode in the Petronian story which is known as the “Supper of | Trimmalchio,” and reterred to by John of Salisbury. Statileus brought the manuscript he had found to Lucius of Trau, who urged him to print 1t just as it was “for the| honor of the country.” He could Mot prevailed upon to do so, and when he left Trau in 1654 Luctus told certain learned men :n Padue and Rome of the discovery and vainly exhorter Statileus and Cippicus to have it printed. By this it would seem that this manu- script was found some time before 1654. “This is a mych earlier date than is u ually suppos:d. It proved that Statl- leus was at Padue between 1635 and 1645, so that he must have found the manuscript before the end of that period which would leave somae twenty YtlYni between its discoverv and its first print-| ed_appearance In 1664. The license to publish the discovery is dated December 2, 1663, aLt Padua. In the year following it was published both at Padua and at Parls, the preface be- ing prefixed to both editions. This pre- face glves the story of Statfleus and of his taking courszel abeut it with the learned men of Venice and Holland, and more especlally with John Rhodius, who djed at Rome in 1659, Statileus here takes the place subge- quently claimed by Lucius himself in the matter of consulting the learned world. Statfleus. after pressure from the Venetian ambassador at Rome. had readily agreed to send a copy of the manuseript to Rome for examination, after which Frambotti at Padua, having obtained it from Statileus, offered it to the perusal «f the public in the exact form in which he had received it from Statileus. This edition, though it had been mub- mitted to the approval of the learned, was full of the most astounding words and phrases. In March, 1665, the eru- dine Frenchman, Adrian de Valols, boldly declarsd that every page of it bore palpable marks of forgery and im- posture. Such monstrous words abound- ed in it that if Petronius wrote it he must have been ignorant of Latin. Genders, ~azes and declensions were all hopelessly wrong and the incident: of the feast clashed at many points with Roman customs. Tt was a strong case that he made. He was supported by a young eritic. A German called Wa- gensell, who unhesitatingly pronounced it a forgery. Many of its words were more than barbarous: they were mnot even human. The work was clearly a very recent absorption by some misera- ble man. A vigorous teply te these eritics av- peared in the ‘Responsio,” claimed to have been written by Statileus. but though contemporaries accepted that it was writtenb v him. such was not the case. Tts real author was supposed to have been Dr. Peter Petit, of Paris. He may have writie it. but there is no clear nroof. The tradition that he did write it is probably responsible for the erro- neous Statement by many subsequent writers that Petit was the actual discov- erer of the manuseript. Tt was sent to Rome in 1668. where it was examined mv experts, who found it similar in writing and paper to that of an original work of Petrarch. To this day no ome has been able to ascer- tain who wrote this literary forgery. Today’s Anniversaries — 1660—Velasque. the great Spanish paint- er. died in Madrid.
