That there was need of an additional
steam fire engine in New London to
replace the condemned Nameaug, was
first called to public attention in this
correspondence five or six years ago,
and at intervals since, and the COM
ment criticised by men in public places
and all that sort of thing, but up-to-
date there has been no steps taken
towards the purchase of new
steamer. although the chief engineer
has repeatedly made such recommen-
dation. Now that the city is having
object lessons of the low water press
ure in some localities the people are
just waking up and realize the made
uuacy of fire protection apparatus.
That enterprising booming organiza-
ton known as the New Tendon Eusi-
ness Mems association, has taken the
cue and will take the matter up with
the court of common council and urge
that body TO action. Resolutions to
that effect have been adopted and the
tacit orders issued to the court OF
common council at its next regular
session.

to invoke the aid of the state police to
enforce the law relating to automo-
biles in New London, for in one day
they arrested fifteen violators and did
not work very hard at that. They
went at it and did their duty without
fear or favor, scooping in among the
bunch a state and city official some
thing that the local police would prob
ably not have been, considering
warning these cases as sufficient, but
the state police do not know John Tom

Then again, the state police received
the backing of the police court and
their work was commended. The state
policemen with their fast motorcycles
are also better equipped to enforce the
automobile laws than are the husky
blue coats of the local force. With
the efficient work of the traffic officers
assisting it is safe betting that law
violations in this particular will be
mighty scarce in the near future.

While the state police now in the
city are specialists in the automobile
line, they are not of the kind that wear
binders and can see only that which
they have been specially deputized to
do. but they are men of broad vision
and are not averse to picking up law
breakers of another class on the side
So their presence is not only having
effect upon the owners of automobiles
but are keeping violators Of other laws
guessing and there is liable to be less

of ivory chips, and the thinking of

UNITED COMMERCIAL TRAN

At the recent meeting in New Haven
of the United Commercial Travellers, a
movement was started to have a trav-
cling man placed upon the new public
utilities commission and the name of
Is. H. Douglas was mentioned for the
place. He was given unanimous sup
port and his name has been sent to
each of the various councils for APP
prevail. Each one has endorsed the
name of Mr.. Douglas and a request
has been made Of Governor Baldwin to
put him on the commission.
Mr. Douglas is one of the best
known travelling men in the state and
has done much in the way of legisla-
ton for his brother travellers. He has
appeared frequently before legislative
committees in the interests of travel
ing men and the citizens of the state
as a whole and an appointment to the
commission according to his friends,
would be q good thing for all parties.

The eighth annual encampment OF
Department of Connecticut, United
Spanish war veterans, is now in ses-
sioa in New London, opening Friday
evening and will terminate today with
the election of officers. The delegates
and visitors from other states were
the guests of Cole camp, No. 7, and
received a very fair idea of the mean
ing of New London hospitality. After
the meeting of Friday night there was
open house at the Niagara Engine
house and the visitors were given a
reception SO unique in its nature that
it really dubbed over with pleasure.
There was no formality, no nothing,
but good cheer, good beer and every
thing that was possible was done for
the pleasure of the Spanish Vets.
Instead of the customary dinner of
the second day being served in a hotel
with the attendant formalities, an old
fashioned clambake, with all the
modern additions will be served in the
Niagara Engine house and prepared by
the clambake experts of that company.
1t will be~zof the barrel order clean
and wholesome, and will be cooked by
steam direct from the fire apparatus
Here there will be informal talks by
Past Department Chiefs Ghion and
Newton Past Quartermaster Ryder
and Past Department Commander

who electrified the comrades at the
encampment held in WilIiniantic.

Every woman is proud to own one or
more soft cushion covers made from fne
handkerchief linen and squares OF nlet
lace.
Nothing gives more distinction to a
tearoom couch than the addition OF one
of these cushions. Spreads for the bed
can also be made of these lovely ma
terials. which. II bought. would be quite
beyond the average woman's pocket
book.
The flet squares can be bought for
little price. They SHOW cIassic designs
woven in solid. and often several diff
ferent designs are used in the making
of a bedspread. The work IS done
somewhat on the order of the old-fash-
ioned patchwork, only II Is much easier.
Strips of linen are sewed between
the squares. The work is done on the

If there is time to sparo, 90 it by hand,

A wide border of linen with q hlet
lace edge makes the handsomest cover;
but a hem all the way around, having
the corners mitered, Is very good taste.
Pillow covers or shams match the

cushions correspond, but are made from
smaller filet squares. Slip on over col

a joy to the heart OF any housekesper

of these attractive cushions and out

pins having varied colored glass heads.
