It is interesting to mote that some of the newspapers on the other side of ths pelitical fence, not being able to find any other fault with the message which President Harding delivered to congress last week, complain that he dwelt on too many subjects, and that he ought to have known that congress could not deal with so many things at the short session. That is Indeed a serious fault. Whea President Harding wset forth the condi- tions that exist and the need for changes he was dealing with what he Delieves should be known and what ashould get attention. He was not en- degwvoring to fix up a message that would be governed entirely by the weaknesses of congress. Whether it is a long or a short session of congress there is a plain duty svhich che presi dent discharges in the presentation of fis message, and llkewise when it has been presented there is likewise a re- eponsibllity resting upon congress to give it careful and considerate atten: tion, to tackle and dispose of the bus:- mness before it rather than balk and fli- buster, or delay and prevent action ome way or the eother. ¥t & to be fully realized that a short seasion of congress is limited, but that doamn’t justify the wasting of the time. ‘The dusiness in hand should be tackled with that In mind. Supply bills must et much attention but that doesn’t jus- tify the tacking on of all kinds of rid- ers, which would not stand on their own merits and which are often resort- ed to for the sole purpose of dbstruc- tion. Because the president has directed attention to & large number of mat- ters, many of which are important to the welfare of the nation, 1t does mot mean that he insists upon dealing with them all at this time. He would be dereliet in his duty, however, did he not bring to the attention of congress the problems ecalling for solution ana at such a tme as he belleved it neces- sary, and the country is going to judge cengress by the many in which it deais with them, or the attitude that it-dls- plays regarding these things. The pres- 1dent has put the situation squarely up to congress, urging what he considers Mecessgry and ened.in; its support. THE STRAITS SITUATION. From Lausanne come reports to the #ffect that Ruseis is weakening even as Turkey did in regarding to the position on the Dardanelles, Turkey evidently Tated the strength of the allies in the Proposition for the internationalization of the waterway as greater than Rus- ®ia, which country bad supported it ®eeking the contro] of the straits. Rus. #ia and Turkey geiag hand in hand was something new, but it was a develop- ment of conditions even though they had been violently opposed before and Rumie bad planned on swallowing the Necessary parts of Turkey in orader to have its outlet to the Mediterranean as- sured. With Russia backing Turkey it was evident that Russia was pursuing a Selfish interest, and yet it is to be real- ised that Russia is quite as much fa- Vored as other countries, when tue stralts are thrown open to all comers. Russla and Turkey do not, however, have the exclusive use of the straits under the plan. It means other Black while these trading with them or look- ing after the interests of subject peo- ple will not be denled opportunities. Russla was anticipating the control of Constantinople as the result of the successful outcome of its panticipation in the war. It is a different Russia now than at the opening of the World war, byt the chance for Russia to profit quite €M same as the other nations is recog- hised in the plan that is now being backed by the allles at Lausanne. Neither Turkey por Russia are abmi- doning their plans because they pre! the other. Turkey had come to recog- ®ise the fact that it cannot get other, and as Turkey gets a new vision the Russians realize that they are not being unjustly dealt with even though it apparently realizes that it cannot se- ture the fulfillment of its ambition. ULSTER'S DECISION. From the time that the efforts have beem made In behalt of what is now the frish ¥ree State it has deen evident that Ulster did not sanction it and did hot desire a part therein. Because of Ihis opposition there has been evidence of Irishman fighting Irishman, and yet even pince the struggle for and the se- of the Irish Frec State there has Been a display of quite the same sttitude. Irishmen are fighting Irishmen even within the Free State, though the number of the opponents to that gov- ernment +is evidently small and the ac- tive participation not likely to last long. At least there is nothing that promises success to warrant such contipuance. Bug with the Free State taking up the govergment of the greater part of Ire. land, Ulster has not been inspired to changy its. mind, It has been fully con- winced that it wished to remain g part of the British empire. The opportunmy t jolp wWith the Free State has ‘met unanimous vote in oppositiun, :m-; that the indications that gotion woyld be taken were well 3 r gt this time seemlngiy yigw thet it these who want- NORWICH B ULLETIN, MONDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1922 along amongst themselves it is unreas- onable to expect that it would. be able to do so. That the Free State government s taking a stand calculated to dbring it ‘n- to greater respect in Ireland is clearly indicated. It is plainly not a time for Ulster to experience & change of mind. It is too soon. These ara troublesome days for the new government and it must deal with the troublemakers with a firm hand. Rather is it by the con- duct of thé affairs in Ireland n cae years to come that the Free State gov- ernment can be the best judged by Tl- ster. While Ulster is not given much to changing its imnind, it may take an entirely different view ten years from now from what it has just decided. It will certainly be a big feather in the cap of the new government if it is able to bring about such a right about face. Such a goal is worth working for for good of all Ireland, NOT A GOOD RECORD. When we stop to think of the large number of murders that is to be found in the news of the day there will be lit- tle ‘surprise at the increase which the homicide record for the country shows in the past decade. Instead of a de- crease as would naturally be desired there has been an Increase, meaning that in spite of the disclosures and punishments through the taking of life the view seems to be that there is in- creased encouragement instead of gveal- er discouragement of such conditions.! Are we getting to the point where those who are willing to take life figure that they can rely upon escaping the penal- ty for their acts? For four years to 1915 the homicide record in 28 of the large cities in t country showed 8.1 cases in each thousand of population, That was bad enough, and yet for the next five years that proportion in- creased until there were 8.5 cases m each thousand. It may be considered & slight gain, but it certainly was a change in the wrong direction. How: ever, it hasn't stopped there for in the year of 1921 the record in those same cities shows 9.3 a thousand. That is a declded gain, and yet what are we to expect in view of the great number who are found not guilty even after they have admitted the killing and the oth- ers who escape under the various ap- peals for leniency. From these figures there appears to be a growing deflance of law, based an- parently upon the feeling that such an appeal can be made that will eliminate the penalty on the strength of what oth- ers have done and gone free. There are centers where the number of homicides is much greater than !n others. There are certaip sections where crimes of various kinds are look- ed upon in a different light than in others, and are accorded different treat- ment. But whatever the section it must! be evident that some improvement ‘n the manner of dealing with those who take life must be insisted upon and ca-- ried out before it can be expected that the desired reduction in such cases will follow. When those who murder escape detection, or those detected are acquit- ted, or those convicted and sentencad find a quick avenue to freedom it doesn’t serve to discourage others simi- larly inclined. THE RIGHT ATTITUDE. Just what success he will meet with in the stand that he has taken rests: with the future to disclose, but there is| no denying the correctness of the pos!-! tion taken by Judge Landis. high com- missiorer of baseball, when he declares the baseball pools are the greatest men- ace to baseball and properly denouncad that practice, It is one of those things that are hard to deal with like betting on horss races apd other gambling schemes. ‘There is nothing to findicate that it is in any way connected with baseball, while it seems highly probable that those backing baseball have nothing to do with it, but the effect upon baseball because of the pools is not difficult to! foresee. There are other sports thatj bave suffered, and suffered severely, as the result of a similar practice, and it is clear to Commissioner Lanais that the time for baseball to eliminate all possibility of becoming involved in an- other scandal lies in checking it before it gets a strangle hold upon the national game, Organzed baseball quickly recognized the menace of the scandal that devei-p oped in Chicago a few years ago. There was call for decisive action at once if ‘baseball was not to suffer. Steps were; taken that resulted in Judge Landis be- ing made baseball commissioner and' baseball recovered quickly. | Baseball hasn't begun to feel seriovs effects from the polls, but Judge Land's doesn't intend that it shall, and if pre- ventive measures can be adopted through the position he has taken or- ganized baseball should be quick to re- spond. A stitch in time saves nine. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Two ‘weeks to Christmas. Is your want list well filled? De Valera is reported to be in hiding.

The fewer tasks done in the kitch- en, except cooking, the easier it is for the one who cooks. The laundry should be a bkeparate room, if possi- ble. A funnel on the toy order made of tin is excellent for filling salt an pepper shakers and vinegar and oil cruets. An unthreaded sewing machine may be used instead of a tracing wheel to mark patterns. If the edges of a rug curl up, over- cast them with strong twine and pull tight until the sides lie flat. A good cook says that English wal- nuts will keep fresh longer and a bet- ter flavor if they are heated through in the oven before using. If French toast is made in the ov- en instead of being fried, it is more evenly browned and a larger quantity can be done at one time. To plant fine seed put in a rather large salt shaker or talcum can with perforated top. By using this the seeds will be sown evenly. Put the pockets on the side seam of your slip-on aprons and you can wear them with either side for the front and thus save laundry work.

Good quality knives should invar- iably be cleaned with charcoal pow- der. OILCLOTH SHADES Novel window shades may be made by the use of black oilcloth; it is at- tractive as well as cticable. Tack it on rollers as a ordinary shade, make a casing for the slat: scallop the bottoms and put some fringe around the scallops. Just above the slat paste cutout de- signs of the wallpaper used in that room; the design might be painted, but the cutout is much easier and more quickly done and produces the same effect; the designs should be gay colors to make them stand out against the black background. No other draperies are needed with these shades. — FOR WINTER FLOWERS A fascinating way in which to force bulbs is to grow them in water, Chi- nese lilies, hyacinths and paper white narcissus being especially responsive to this method. coal will ald in keeping the water sweet. Place the bulbs on.the pebbles and set away in a cool, dark, well ven- tilated closet until the roots get a good start and the leaf-spikes are about an inch high. Then bring to the light and proceed as carefully as with trench grown plants. HEALTH AND BEAUTY One khould set proper value upon the eyes and learn to bestow upon them constant, intelligent care. The following rules will help: Dont keep your eyes concentrated on close work for longer than an hour at a time. Don’t work with the sun in your eyes or shining on the paper at which you are looking. There has always been a question as to whether the cold or the hot bath is the most beneficial. There s some- thing undeniably exhilarating about a cold plunge; on the other hand, there is both relaxation and refresh- ment in a hot bath. The best bath powder is nothing but ordinary choking corn starch per- Preparations are simple. First put pebbles in a dish of water, keeping | the water slightly below the tops of the stones.

It is very tiring for the eyes as well as for the mind. There are many invalids who ask for books by the score but they should not be permit- ted to read more than one hour at a stretch and always see that the light is behind their backs. A MILK Spoiled food and wrong feeding kills the babies. So baby’s milk must be kept cool all the time. In order to take proper home care of your milk the following “don’ts” should be of value: Don't put milk on window ledge to save ice. Don't place milk in open, unclean vesels exposed to air and flies. Don't use milk over 24 hours old for the baby. Don’t mix old and new milk. Don’t fail to wash bottles with scalding water. CORNER WARDROBES It is scarcely worth while bothering to make a corner cupboard wardrobe at home, for they may be bought ready made, complete with dress hooks and all that is needed is to fix them in position, When indulging in one of thee fixtures have a shelf placed just above the skirting board, and the cur- tain threaded top and bottom on easi- Iy Jrawn rings. Youswill find the cup- board dust proof, which cannot be said of those with loosely hanging curtains. A RENOVATION HINT The beauty of many evening dresses lies in the womderful girdle of artifi- cial flowers that mark the waist. But how ‘quickly they luse their pristine freshness. A cloak crushes them, and an evening dancing makes them al- most unrecognizable. But no matter how shabby and crushed, with a lit- tle time and patience it is pessible to restore the flowers to their fimst charm. Straighten ous &l the crumpled pet- als and place the blooms and leaves face downwards on & thickly folded ironing blanket. Then with a moder- ately hot iron press them. Next brush the wrong sides with a solution of gum arabic and fix the flowers to a board so that they will not curl up, When they are dry, with the stiffnéss imparted by the gum, you will find they have quite recover- ed_their shape. If the color has gone at all it is a simple matter to revive that with a few water-color paints, mixed with a little thin glue. 1 DICTATES OF FASHION Red felt hats are much’in evidence. Metal cloth for everything, from hats to shoes is popular. The Lenglen band for evening wear is made of maline to match the hair. Paisley and ‘camel’s hair jackets are Humerogs. \ A d earri triangular in shape, mm’ of hufifived gold, is one of the latest novelties. Gauntlet gloves are worn with prad- tieally all costume types. | D IN THE KITCHEN ground and are more often of plain| cloth than of istripes or plaids. Evening wraps have panel and vest- ment-like trimmings of brocade. Chipmunk, civit cat and krimmer are the novelty furs most often seen. Earrings and strings of semi-pre- cious stones are conspicuous. Cor- nelian seems to be a general favorite, and both amber and tortoise shell are frequently seen. Georgette and silk dresses are worn with short fur coats which come in biege, caracul, summer ermine or squirrel. Soft chokers of the same material as the bodice are seen on many of the new fall dress models. Black and white gauntlets are worn with the long sleeved dresses. Skirts for street wear are being made 8 inches from the ground. This seems to be the favored length. Sports types for Southern wear are making their appearance in the shops. Printed crepes and pongees are prom- inent. White with color, shades of gold, brown and blue are good. ‘Three-piece suits are seen in smart variety. Among the new models are navy cloth and black gaufre satin. The satin makes the bodice and is cut with raglan sleeves. NEW HANDKERCHIEFS FOR CHRISTMAS GIFTS As Christmak gifts hanflkerchiefs take first place and the 1922 display is worth considering. One of the newest is made of cross barred organdie—this cross bar comes in several wizes, the design varying a little in each one. The handkerchiefs| are cut perfectly round, about nine| inches in diameter. The edge is roll- ed, as narrowly as possible; and to this is whipped an inch wide foot- ing, in the same or a contrasting color. One sees many of these organdie handkerchiefs in white, with rose, pale , light or dark blue, or tan ruf- sometimes a delicate buff, apri- cot or gray is"used for the handker- chief instead of white, and the ruffle will match the handkerchief in color. French gingham in tiny checks is used for some fsmart handkerchiefs. AN ATTRACTICE IDEA Large drawers in the dressing chest are all very well for bulky article: but hairpins, handkerchiefs, etc., have habit of disappearing into the wil- 'Tness and never being found when in a hurry. Try this plan, and a safe place will be found for trifles. Cut a fstrip of cretonne the depth, width and height of the inside of the front of the top drawers in your chest, and on it sew three pockets with the tops gath- ered by elastic, so that they do not gape open. When this js complete, tack the strip into the front of the drawers, and you will have a resting-place for all the odds and ends which are apt to go astray.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Bubjective and Objective Criticism. Ar. Editor: Mr. Capell's reply to my last letter in The Bulletin seems to de- mand an answer and hence my reason for again writing. There are two van- tage points from which to view religions ©Of every sort—the subjective and the ob- Jec ve point of view as all Christian Scientists do. He accuses me of com- paring my ideas concerning the teach- ings of the Bible with what I beli to be the teachings of the Sclentistss which accusation is of course true. How- ever there is only one best point from which to reason along Bible lines and that is the point at which both t subjective and objective point of view may be compared. The apostle John (Rev. 17.3) speaks of being taken away into the wilderness condition from which place he was enabled to get a view of Mystic Babylon which name undoubt- edly refers to the church systems of our day. This wilderness condition of com- plete separation from all church creeds and systems is the only point of view from which one can see clearly into re- ligion as it is today. Hence Mr. Ca- pell is not in a position to reason clear- 1y on God's Word for he is hampered by the yoke of Christian Science, as is clearly evidenced further along in his article.

These and many other facts prove the foregoing state- ment. At His second coming Christ must, if prophecy which is history written in advance be fulfilled, inaugurate a great healing work. For, the old must be- come young again (Job 33:14-30), the lame leap (Isa. 35:6), the blind see (Isa. 35:5), etc. This is the time re- ferred to when all in their graves will hear His voice and come forth. In every way possible satan has sought to deceive mankind. Realizing from the events which have been tak- ing place since 1874, and especially since 1914, that his lease of power has al- most ended and that the time for His binding is here, He has sought to de- celve many intd believing that he is advance agent of Christ's Kingdom and that there is no death. Satan has sought to.perpetrate this fraud by accomplishing miracles through the instrumentality of mankind. I do not mean to infer that Christian Sci- eéntists or any other religious people performing miracles in healing = are knowingly the agencies of satan. But satan hath blinded the minds of all but a few including many of the professed followers of Christ. That which is not and above board, that which is not strictly honest in every sense the term §s not of God and Christ. It is not homest to say that you are well when you are sick or to try to belleve that you aze well. The Bible acknowl- edges that sickness, sorrow, pain and death exist and that there coming (under the reign of which ing work did not require that the sick believe that they were actually well be- fore He healed them; but rather He re- quired that they believe that He was the for whom the Jews had been leoking for many years.

Hav¥ expenditures for public schools; increased more rapidly than the weaith of the country? No, declares Dr. Edwin R. A. Sellg- man, professor of political economy, Co- dumbia university. He says: “While it is true that the educational budget has increased more rapidly than the popu- lation, it is not true that it has in- creased more rapidly than the wealth of the community.. On the contrary, it may be affirmed, with little fear of coa- tradiction, that from the cconomist's point of view the growth of prosperity in the United States as a whole has been so enormous as to make the pro-| portion of educational expenditures su| real wealth of the community actually| smaller than it was i» the past de- cades.” M educational expenditures have not increased more rapidly during the past few decades than the wealth of the country, the educational returns have been great indeed. Since 1900 the per cent of children 5 to 18 years of age en- rolled in the schools has increased from 724 to 71.8; the average length cof! school term from 144 to 162 days; the! average number of days attended by each person 5 to 18 from 72 w0 94.3; the average number of days attended by each pupil enrolied from to 144; the per cent of children in high school from 3.3 to-10.2. Then, too, the type of education should be considered. The teaching is better; the courses of study have been improved; the Individual dif- ferences of children are better provided for, especially in the city schools; vo-! cational courses have been added; the' health of the school child fs better cared for; hundreds of evening schools for ults have been opened, and so on. ‘With all these facts can anyone say the efficlency of the schools has not kept pace with the increased budget?
