WHAT THE VOTER MUST DO.

1t. is simple matter for an easy
go-lucky citizen to lose his right to
vote under the present legal system.
The law puts all the responsibility Of
preparation up to him.
Every voter should bear in mind
that in order to vote at the November
election, he must see that his name is
on the voting list. and correctly spell
ed, and under the registration laws of
Connecticut his name must be in the
hands of the registrars of voters not
later than October IL at p. m.
If a man has been a voter in Nor
WITCH, and for some reason left town
but has returned, he can have his
name restored to the list by applying
to the registrars when they are in
session with the board of registration
provided he has been in the state a
year and the town six months last
past.
The names of all new voters must
be on the to-be-made list, gotten out
by the registrars, for only those whose
names are on that list will be consid
cred when the board of registration
meets to make voters.
II the new voters name has not been
taken by the deputies in their canvass,
and the deputies cannot get every
name, find out about it, by applying
to the deputy or the general registrars
before October II.
All persons who intend to vote in
November should see that their appli-
cations are in, If to be made voters,

when the preliminary list is printed
that they are located where now Hv-

THE WHITE BIRCH INCREASES.

The United States department of
agriculture is authority for the state
ment that the paper birch, often called
also white birch, or canoe birch is
one of the few timber trees in this
country which seem to be holding their
own against axe and fire. The aver
age citizen, however, proba bly, takes
no particular interest in the paper
birch. Yet it is doubtful IL any other
kind of wood on the face of the earth
is found in 50 many households; for
paper birch furnishes most of the
spools made in the United States
Maine is the chief center of spool
manufacture. It's factories turn out
500 millions spools yearly, chiefly
birch. Few woods as hard as this
can be worked with as little dulling
of the tools; its principal recommen-
dalton lies in that fact. 1t is hand
some in color. and, after the wood be-
comes seasoned it shrinks and warps
very little. That is an important con-
sideration, because the delicate ma
chinery that winds the thread would
fail to work if the spool changed its
shape to a perceptible degree.
The birch wood for spools must be
selected and handled with care The
trees red disk heart-wood is objec-
tionable because it will not turn
smooth in the lathe, and the color is
not desired. Few industries waste
more wood, in proportion to the guam
tity used, than spool making. Heart
wood, knots and all othef defects
frequently amounting to more than
one half the tree, are rejected. From
one-half to three-fourths of the re-
mainder may go to the refuse heap in
saving the bars and turning the spools
Despite this waste, the paper birch
does not appear to be threatened with
extinction. 1t is a fire tree-that is, it
spreads rapidly over spaces left va
cant by forest fires. The most extern
sive paper birch forests of Maine and
New Hampshire occupy tracts which
were laid bare by the great forest
fires which swept the region from 1925
to 1887.
The tree is short lived. At an age
when the white cedar, for example, is
just beginning to lay on useful wood
the paper birch has passed its prime
and is ready for decay. 1t is placed
at still further disadvantage by being
unable to compete with other trees for
light and soil 1t prospers when grow
ing alone. but it gives up the fight
after stronger trees begin to crowd it,
Nevertheless, it is believed that more
paper birch is growing in the United
States today than two hundred years
ago

JUDGE BALDwIN's GUARANTY.

Judge Baldwin by his New Haven
speech showed that ne is an able ad-
Socats upon the stump and that he
rsn tell stories which fit the case and
Rmuse the audience. This certainly
marks him as vigorous campaigner,
capable of making a lasting impress
sion upon his audiences.
II the reports of this address are
accurate, the democratic candidate
certainly showed himself inexperienced
and far from being a sharp observer,
IL he did, as asserted, personally
guaranty the passage and enforce
nsnt of all the laws called for by the
democratic platform if he is elected,
Tor the governor of Connecticut is
usually strong in principles and con-
elections. but devoid of the power to
do anything more than to advise the
legislators what to do; and the aver
age Connecticut legislator has shown
himself about as deaf to the advice of
the governor as it is possible. for a
noer of things to be. The attempt is
to be made this winter to get the leg
lslature, IL the republicans win out, to
make the governor more of a force and
less of an ornament, which will be
true progression.

law like the public utilities bill, which
he declines to endorse as it is pre-

THE TRAFFIC ON THE GREAT
LAKES

LAKES.
Here in the east we do not realize
what a port Detroit is, or what an
amount of traffic marks BUSINESS on
the Great lakes during the year. The
traffic on the Detroit river increased
this year in the first five months %
per cent. over the traffic in the same
period last year. The traffic as set
forth by the Toledo Blade excels the
traffic at New York The Blade says:
"'The number of freight carrying
vessels which passed Detroit in Au-
gust was 3,193, or about four for each
hour of the month. In FIVE months
1888 vessels had passed. Consider
what these figures mean, when all the
steam and sailing vessels owned in
America, upon the lakes, upon the
Atlantic, the Pacific and the Gulf sea-
board, including Porto Rico and Ha-
wall, numbered but 25,425 at the end
Of the fiscal year 1908 The freight
movement from April to September
was 41,S63,061 tons This is about 10
or IA million more tons than all the
traffic of the Mississippi valley, the
big river and its tributaries, in 1906.
the last year for which reports are at
hand. The tonnage of vessels passing
Detroit in the five months was 1,457,-
444. Compare with this the tonnage
of vessels which entered and cleared
the port of New York in 1905
24,O94,S44."
And it is an all-American trade;
and The Blade points out that when
the government deepens a harbor or
builds a breakwater or locates a light
house it does it for American ships,
American cargoes and American sail
ors."

DICTATES OF FASHION.

One piece gowns, on the street, and
for calling, day reception, day we'd
dings. matinees, etc, will again be
prominent during the coming season,
made of broadcloth.
Dyers OF dress fabrics are now try
ing to secure that tone of green seen
in the apple just before it ripens. Vel
vets in this color are particularly
beautiful
Many of the marabou neck pieces
are made up with satin of contrasting
or harmonizing color. Sometimes the
satin is shirred and fashioned into
stable rosettes.
Brocaded effects are advancing in
favor not only for rich or massive cos
tunes and coats, but for dressy gowns
for homo or evening wear. Some of
these brocades are also sumptuous
in their coIorings.
Crepes of various kinds are well to
the fore for dainty costumes. and
crepe season is expected. Jacquard
Persian, brOcaded and general fancy
effects especially in scarings, are all
equally favored.
Extremely simple, but with a decided
style, are the pumps of corded silk.
The only suggestion of ornamentation
is a self-covered buckle of tiny di-
mansions at the toe or a single small
button, also seIf-covered.
The chenille pompon is coming into
great favor. The chenille is sewed
on bands of ribbon about an inch wide.
The loops of the chenille are about
two inches long and must match the
covering of the hat in color A hand
some hat is made of blue velvet with
a blue chenille pompon and a cabochon
of gold.
For early fan wear the linen suit
is comfortable and fashionable. One
of the popular designs is a blue linen
with white collar and cuffs, the coat
being fastened with white pearl but
tons. The suit in natural linen color is
always in good taste. The woman
with colorless complexion will do we'll
