Inys,fD finding in the case of a death Ut Ncrwalk from being struck by an auto, Coroner Wilson announced a principle which. though not new, can not be too often repeated: Reckless or careless driving of an automobile does not consist entirely in running the same at high rate of speed. but the situation and the cir ,cumstances surrounding and attending each instance or accident are to be taken into consideration.
 The substance of this principle is that at even moderate speed an auto may be driven recklessly-that is. the attendant conditions may endan- ger life or limb.
 In this Norwalk case. the autoist did not stop for a standing trolley car, but after knocking down an alighting passenger, crossed to the wrong side of the street and there. without warn ing, struck and killed a street worker. The machine was being driven at about 10 miles an hour. a moderate speed for autos. Yet it was being recklessly driven. and the coroner very properly held the driver for man slaughter The lesson of the case to eutoists is the need of an abundance ,f caution

Of the many veils that have appear ed this season, the spider web like lace design that looks so well in col Ors to match the hat has proved the favorite.
 Gold-colored straw trimmed with black is a combination of many of the most attractive models for sumner Some of the best hat, decorations are gold and silver.
 lar,- are frequently worn with a mar row black velvet band at the throat, on which may be a diamond or other jeweled ornament
 A detachable frill and detachable turnover collar is an addition to smart white linen shirtwaist of medi- um weight, which has the front cov- cred with quarter inch tucks.
 There is a late fancy among some belts of the more elaborate gowns of a color in contrast to the whole color scheme of the garment.
 Practical little striped gingham frocks for tiny folks of two to four years are in Russian style, or with a long French waist and full kilted skirts in bright or dark colors.
 Ruffles of plaited net, batiste, plain or lace edge and attached to a head ing of insertion, may be bought by the yard and made into side frills for the shirtwaist or coat suit.
 The jewel framework is a feature of the newest models in bags and the decoration ranges from a simple stone set in the center to a frame work encrusted with jewels throughout it's entire length
 Russian effects are shown and worn in endless variety, one of the newest development of the present idea is the dress fashioned on lines identical with the coat suit and hardly to be dis tinguished from it.
 It looks as though we were about to see season of sheer loosely woven fabrics, which call for the use of some under material, either in the form of lining or as slip for separate wear under these transparent garments.
 Tusseh Royal has somewhat crepey surface and is of a beautiful lustrOus finish being made of mohair and wool. This material with Otto- man Royal will doubtless continue to be seen and sought after for costume purposes fO- summer.
 Stockings are in widely varied colors, and can be found to match any gown. Some are of beautiful changeable silks which are so closely embroidered that they have the two-toned effect, with out being actually woven in that way.

Settled by Agreement.


 The suit brought against the city of Danbury and the street railway com- pany by William R. Mead. adminlstra- tor of the estate of Henry B. Mead, deceased, has been settled by agree ment between counsel. MT. Mead was thrown from his wagon and fell upon a pile of stones and was killed. The street at that point had been torn up for the laying of the street railway track and MT. Mead's estate brought suit, alleging that the condition of the thoroughfare was in part responsible for the fatality. The suit was for S5,- GOO damages. The adjustment agreed upon is upon the basis of the payment of s275 each by the city and the street railway company.
 Butchers Driven Out.
 It has been predicted for several months that the high prices charged by the wholesalers for meat would be the reason for the going out of bus1- ness of 8 number of Norwalk market men and since then two5dealers have gone out of business. The market men claim that they can't get retail prices to correspond with the advance in the wholesale price,

 Return of Bardos.
 Daniel Bardos of Norwalk, who dis two weeks ago, has return ed. At first the disappearance of Bardos was a complete mystery inaS- much as it was thought that his ac- counts with the three Hungarian or ganizations Of which he is treasurer are all straight. In a few days how ever, it became noised about that he was shy, rumors giving the amount at anywhere from few hundred to sev- era1 thousand dollars. Bardos came back prepared to do the right thing and it is not expected that he will be prosecuted.

The average communication rate on the N. Y, iN H. & H. railroad is said to be six-tenths of a cent a mile, while other passengers pay two cents a mile It is proposed to increase by 30 to 40 per cent. the communication rates. and it is estimated that with a 40 per cent. increase. the rate will be 2i-25ths of a cent a mile or less than half the rate for other passengers. The increased cost to commuters will hit most severely the men who own or occupy small homes in suburban towns with their families from the crowded cities by the low cost of transportation This point appears in the argument in support of a proposition to enact in New York a provision giving the Pub lie Service Commission power to fix communication rates. Next in import snce to the interest of such commut- CTS is that of the owners of residential properties in suburban towns, the de- nland for whose houses and lands will inevitably be 1essened by the increased cost of transportation.
 It may reasonably be doubted whether the railroad is best serving its own interests by adopting policy which will assuredly tend to check the exodus from the congested cities that has reached large proportions and has been steadily growing.

R T. Crane of Chicago. is not an advocate of high school or collegiate education. On the contrary. he says:
 The colleges instead of preparing young men to make a living. hinder them trom fitting themselves to make the best living they can. College fraining is absolutely unnecessary. Anybody can get all the education he needs in the grammar schools. I never had one-half the education the average grammar school of today fur .l,ishes A high school education is euperftuous. Higher arithmetic is of practically no value. The simplest arithmetic and a good knowledge of the English language are all a boy needs to succeed in the world.

It will take longer, but the result will be more satisfactory. Tea and ground coffee should be kept either in a tin or glass vessel, covered with lid, and should always be tightly covered.

 cereal pan is much more easily cleaned if cold water is allowed to run into it as soon as the cereal is dished. Hot water hardens the mix ture.
 When placing a mirror it is well to bear in mind that strong sunlight or intense heat is fatal to it as the quicksilver will wrinkle and run.

Survey states that at the hearing on the demands for higher pay by the 2.500 striking switchmen in Chicago, the increase in cost of living was graphically described by the wives and mothers who were called as witnesses. "It just seems that everything creeps up a little bit more each week." said one of them. eff I fed the children what they ought to have there wouldn't be enough to go around. We can afford meat only once a week, we use imitation butter and we do not eat any eggs Another said: ''On every- teen raised the amount has been. cut 6own- The price is the same for soda biscuits. but there are two biscuits fewer in the package. I used to allow thirty dollars month for the table for a family of three. It costs me forty five a month now and we don't live so well.'' ''The quality of boys clothing now is so poor that I cannot hand down the suits from one boy to another as I formerly did. The price of shoes has gone up and the quality gone down, and I cannot afford to wear rubbers any more''
 Such is the practical side of the high cost of living. caused by the exactions of trusts and monopolies and by a high tariff These stories tell how high prices affect the families of working life

THE ERATS.

(New Haven Times-Leader
 The Bridgeport board of education reported last night the result of it's in- vestigation into the secret society problem in the local schools, which was brought up by the illness of Miss Lorraine Clark, a high school pupil, who alleged that during her initiation into a fraternity she was obliged to eat noxious substances which serious ly affected her health.
 After September 10, 1910, no more se- cret societies or fraternities will be allowed. Any pupil wearing insignia of any such organization will not be expelled, but will be barred from ath- letics and all exercises of the school, and at graduation time will not be allowed a place on the platform with the graduating classes.
 It is not likely that similar action will be taken in this city, nor does it appear that there is reason for any special consideration of the matter here at this time.
 Beyond doubt there are arguments against school frats, but much can be said in their favor. In the experience of New Haven the frats have been of special and large benefit to most of those fortunate enough to come within their influence. The frats have been of life benefit to scores of New Haven boys and girls and there is no reason why they may not benefit hundreds more.
