GIRLS SCALP GRATED ON.

A marvellous example Of the wonders
of modern medical science was shown
yesterday in the case OF Miss Jennie
Lucas, who was discharged cured
from the Roosevelt Hospital in Phila-
delphia after sojourn there since July
Is. Miss Lucas, who was mill worker,
had her hair caught in one of the big
rollers and her scalp literally torn from
her head. She was hurried to the hos
pital in semi.conscious condition and
DR.. Franklin Brady, who had charge oil
the case, thought it possible by pro-
cess OF skin grating to save the young
woman's life and beauty as well. When
she recovered from the shock gratis
we're taken from her arm from time to
time and finally the scalp became fixed
and her hair continued live and glossy.
The process was slow, but sure, and
the young woman has reason to be
well pleased with the excellent result

AS to the government womans status.
there is little to say Society every where
is largely matter of money and the
same rule holds true in the case of the
average public employe. Except in the
case of very high posts office holding does
not entitle one to social recognition. The
social life of the department. woman does
not differ greatly from that of other work
ing women. She observes the demands of
her own set. makes calls and receives them

her choice, engages in such amusements as
interest her. and may become affiliated with
philanthropic educational organizations
One thing she lets pretty thoroughly alone
and that is the suffrage problem.
Woman deserves great deal of credit
for gaining such Il stronghold upon the
public service. She has proved that she
can do things But she must do more. Her
work is only begun. She must push her
way into new branches of the government
There are thousands of positions that can
be filled by her quite we'll hy man.
Instead of the seven per cent of positions
that she holds she should look for

further recognition more than words is
needed. Preparation is the secret of her
success. She must specialize to such de
gree that when call is sent out to fill
IL difficult position it would he folly to re-
fuse her proffer of srvices. Such prejudice
as still exists against her public ser

this. thanks to her grit and good common
sense.

George F.

The Coroners finding declares that '.an automobilist is not the auto crat of the highway, and must at all times operate his car with due regard to the rights of others and with such reasonable care as the circumstances require, and at all times have his automobile under absolute control" :" Operation with due regard to the rights of others and to road condi- tions, is not new principle for the guidance of automobilists: that the driver must tat all times have his automobile under absolute control, :" cation. Unless some essential part of the machinery is broken, an auto mobile is always under absolute con- trol;'' if it were not, not even the most reckless of men would undertake to drive it. In coming findings, Cor oner Wilson should state what he means by absolute control,' whether he means that stoppage within 101 feet as in this Norwalk case is, in sufficient control and if so, whether stoppage withini5o feet or some other definite distance would be deemed absolute control.'' The phrase "ab- solute control is too indefinite for the proper. guidance of automobilists.

NO WEDDING BELLS FOR
 WATERBURY BRIDE-TO-BE

Waterbury, Aug. 19-The wedding day for pretty nineteen-year-old Mary B. Bolger. of Franklin street, did not turn out to be SO glorious an occasion as the youthful bride-to-be had been anticipating, for when the hour ar rived for the appearance<ye yesterday of her young knight, Peter Mccarthy, aged 20, he failed to show up. Many guests awaiting at the Bolger home to partake of the early wedding breakfast were disappointed
 Mccarthy was found. after a search. At first he refused to stir, but after repeated entreaties and threats, he said he would get married at 10 o'clock. When 10 o'clock came, however, he was just as much miss ing as before, and then the marriage was called off.
 A couple of hours later friends of the couple got hold of Mccarthy and Induced him to go to the home of Miss Bolger and there offer apolo- gies.
 "Oh, how could you," said Miss Bolger, as she caught sight of Mo- Carthy walking up the path leading to the house,l but Mccarthy only grinned and said, Its all off"
 James Bolger, father of the desert- ed fiancee, was not kindly disposed toward Mccarthy at first, but after talking with the young man he an- nounced that the wedding would take place in a week. :

lines politics as The science of gov ernment: that part of ethics which has to do with the regulation and government of a nation or state the preservation of it's safety. peace and prosperity, the defense of its existence and rights against foreign control or conquest, the augmentation of it's strength and resources and the pro- lection of it's citizens in their rights and the preservation and improvement of their morals" My present cam paign has to do chiefly with the last clause of this definition Is it not time to polish up the morals of United States senators? Nothing can be con- ceived more degrading to a nation or state than a senator occupying his seat in the senate in defiance of the will of the people of that great state; and Connecticut should open it's eyes early enough to prevent a similar dis grace in the coming senatorial election.
 The Norwich Morning Bulletin. in spite of your statement that you are not in politics. declares that you are in politics up to your neck. I hope you are and that you will stay in. You have the right to quiz those who intend to influence legislators. The people have the right to know where candidates for the legislature stand on important questions before they vote such candidates. Go right ahead. and put it up to every candidate as soon as he shall have been nominated for the legislature. If he ducks. that is the signal to await him. No man need dodge your questions if he intends to stand on his own feet in the legis- lature. If he intends to vote as the machine commands. he will twist, dodge and evade. Hit every such head as soon as it appears.
 Yes. I am in politics. It seems to be the fashion this year for each candidate for the U. s. senate to se lect candidate for the governorship to run with him. Like sheep-dogs to keep in the fashion I am looking about for a candidate for governor to help along my campaign prior to the state convention, but am in somewhat of a quandary. You see I am half way. between New London and Willi- mantic. or in other words. half way between Dunn and Mahan both prom ising candidates for the governorship. How happy could T. be with either were t'other dear charmer awayl I wish you would sound these two gentlemen on your public utilities bill. He who passes the best examination shall be my running mate That will be bet ter than drawing lots. You see I am greatly interested in good roads.

WILL ROOSEVELT
 .sSULK IN HIS TENT?"N

Vice President sherman refuses to withdraw his candidacy for tempor- ary chairman of the New York Re- publican conventions; Ex-President Roosevelt says he is pleased over his rejection for the same position be- cause. it relieves him of responsibility for the conduct of the campaign and allows the "oid guard''-that is, reg ulars' or '.standpatters" to carry on the fight by itself We infer that Mir Roosevelt intends to make himself conspicuous by absenteeismff from the campaign; the @"regulars" who un- dcubtedly desire his aid and counten- ance while refusing him any voice inA the management of the campaign. will probably describe him as ''sulk- ing in his tent-'' They evidently pre- fer defeat in November to victory, some part of the credit for which might be. awarded to him and thus tend to promote the Progressive cause.
 MT. Sherman says he is going to serve in the interest of harmony, ;, He could best promote harmony by withdrawing in favor of Roosevelt. He was the most prominent member of the Cannon governing clique in the House, and is literally saturated with Cannonism.. He represents the ultra type of regulars and is as bitter an opponent of the Progressive ele- ment as is Cannon, though not pos- eessine the same command of vitriolic language His selection for the chair at the State convention is a clearly defined defiance of the Pro- gressive element, and is evidently so interpreted by Col Roosevelt.
 If there were any doubt of Sher- mans position, it would be abated by his answer to the question wheth- CT the platform would be "clean cut progressive" which was, "It will be clean cut Republican platform that is, cut on the old model and re- actionary rather than progressive. Col Roosevelt could not do otherwise than withdraw from such campaign.
 New York Republican politics are always interesting, and will be more 60 than ever this year In the event of a Republican defeat which now seems almost certainty, look out for a demand for Roosevelt in 1912 as being the only Republican who can carry the pivotal state of New York!

Secretary Ballfnger refuses to resign until asked to do so by President Taft: Speaker Cannon declares him self still candidate for reelection to the chair of the House. And so the scheme, matched at the Federal summer capital, to placate the Pro- Eressives and harmonize the party. falls very flat. President Taft has heretofore said that he would not ask for Ballinger's resignation; in fact, he cannot do so without. reversing h.msef, for he wrote a complete ex- culpation of Ballinger some weeks ago. The only possible effect of the apparently inspired announcement as to Cannon, may be it's interpretation by Republican candidates for the House as relieving them from danger of loss of Federal patronage for open ly antagonizing Cannon and Cannon ism It may even open the lips of Congressman Hill upon the subject.
