SEEKING NEW
 PENCIL WOODS

Recent conferences of representatives Of the Department of Agriculture with several lead-pencil manufacturers have resulted in plans for testing new woods in the pencil industry. According to some of the manufacturers. the sup ply of red cedar, which furnishes prac- ticaIy all the woodefor the annual out put of some 325.000 900 pencils. will be exhausted within five years. A sub stitute must be found which will whit tie easily. which shall contain a large amount of material free of knots, which shall not be porous. nor spongy, nor unduIy hard. and which shall oc- cur in sufficient quantities to meet the manufa acturers denand.
 In view Of this and at the Sugees- tion of the pencil makers. the Forest Service is to cooperate in a test of a Among those to be tried are Rocky Mountain red cedar. alligator juniper, western juniper. redwood. incense ce- dar. western cedar. Port Orford cedar, and Alaska cypress Wood specimens collected from the National Forests will be sent to four leading manufac- turers, who have agreed to make pen cils of them The nanufa cturerS will KeeD a record of the tests and report to the Forest Service the results. as well as their judgment as to the fitness Of the individual woods.
 The Forest Service is ass sting in this experiment because there are on the National Forests large quantities suitable for rencil manufacture. Tor several of these woods no very valu- able use has yet been discovered. Foresters relieve that in the future the wood from the National Forests ray. to a considerable extent. come into use to supplement the diminishing stock Of eastern woods. the supply of which has received no protection.

According to "Trumbulp'. Ex-Gov. Mclean 'has evidently succeeded in dividing the political machine and in lining up on his side the younger and mere successful of the workers" !" Perhaps the strongest point now in use against Mclean is the rurnor that the N- T., N. H. & H. roads influence is being exercised in his favor. We do not know that the rumor has any real foundation. Or any at all aside from the fact that in this vicinity at least fnen who usually are found in support of the road, are now working for Mclean. The Ex-Governor can not do his own candidacy any better service than to queIl conclusively the apprehension that his election would merely add one vote to the strength of the Railroad Senator's now in Con- gress.

FIRE AT WOODROW r

Milford, March 15.-Fire. starting in an unknown manner shortly after midnight in the garage of Waiter H. Bradley, of Meriden, at New Haven and Belmont avenues, Woodmont, de- stroyed three. automo piles and two adjoining cottages all belonging to Mr Bradley, before it could be check ed. Tanned by high wind the flames and flying embers gave the fire sdepartment a hard fight but further spread was stopped and two walls of one cottage were saved. No one has been in the garage for sew el al weeks, so the fire is thought to be possibly caused by tramps or the frebug who did so much damage last summer. The- damage is at least

Mir. Goodwin of Hartford. who seeks the Republican termination for Cover TOT, announced the other night that if elected Governor. the policies Of the late Governor Lilley would be his poli- cies. sThese rolicies include the reg ulation of public utilities the passage of an employers liability act that would free workingmen and women from legal disabilities under which they now suffer and the removal of the limit of $5,000 for damag ges in neg ifGence cases resulting in death
 Tn this connection. the Waterbury Republican states that MT. Goodw:n's opponent Everett J. Lake. has thus far not cared to commit himself. It might be added that. judging from the character of MT. Lakes support in this county. he is not likely to commit himself in favor of the LilIey policies above mentioned.

The Chicago Wonan's Club which is not only very large in numbers but also very influential in society,", has taken up the matter of Iessening the cost of living. Its president. Mrs. Edward l.. Upton. said in a recent ad- dress before the club:
 The trouble with American women IS that we have been taught to buy only the most expensive things. even cause we think we will be losing caste
 If we try to be frugal Our false pride extends to the things we eat as we'll as the things we have and wear. There is no disgrace in serving other cuts of meat than porterhouse or sir io1n steak or loin rOasts. That is eomnendab1e economy. The disgrace Is in being wasteful.
 Mrs. William H. Tyler. chairman of the Home Department of the club, thinks the meat question is the most important part of the living problem. eff women knew how to buy meats intelligentIy,'' she said, and prepare them properly there wouldn't be such an cutery against high prices.''
 Just because there are expensive cuts is no reason why every woman should think she would lower her dig nifty by buying anything else. Eggs are cheap food, butter isn't very ex- penslve now, and good and nour- ishing meal can be prepared at naoder- ate cost by using the trump. chuck or shoulder, or other so-called cheaper cuts of meat. Dried beef, though ap- parently costly. is cheap because of it's .nutritive value. and it can be used as the basis for many delicious dishes.
 Thus, it appears that in Chicago household economy not only has be- come paramount problem in most exclusive circles but quite 'tthe thing.'' Whether it will be equally popular elsewhere. is debatab1e.

 MT. Perry's position upon the direct primary and corrupt practices legis- lation is well established and has at times received the distinct disapproval Of machine members of his party. but so far as we recall he has not publicly stated his views upon the question of creating and adequately endowfng public utilities commission, which is to be one of the leading issues of the campaign and upon which his leading competitor for the nomination, Hon. Stiles Judson. has been for some time publicly talking at considerable length. It is really advisable, in MT. Perry's own interest. that he should state pub
 licly his position upon this matter. His record upon other questions indi- cates that he will rot be found in antagonism to the major public sentf- ment upon the public utilities issue.
