Back to the Author.

The woman was the author Of q
cook book that had been published at
her request with wide margins and oc-
casional blank pages for notes and adj
ditiOnal recipes. Often she had ex-
pressed a wish to see an old copy Of
the book and find out to what use the
blank spaces had been put. One day
in secondhand book store her hus-
band unearthed an old volume. Motto
ing that it had been anticipated freely,
he bought it. After a day or two he
said:
How about the notes in that cook
book? Were they Interestingly"
mo-" she said CURLY; they didn't
amount to anything"
When he got chance he looked
through the book himself Every note
the book contained was a remedy for
dyspepsia and stomach trouble

WILL. HAVE SUMMER
 SCHOOL AT YALE QUARTERS
Building at Gales Ferry Will Be Oe-
 cupied by Roxbury School.

The Roxbury school has leased the Yale quarters at Gales Ferry and will occupy them after the races are over and the crews vacate The Roxbury school is a summer school for stu dents who need bracing either for the entrance examinations or to make up college work they have been deficient in and on which they have conditions.
 John Torrance, Yale '09. is presi dent of the school and the school is patronized principally either by Yale students or prep school students wish ing to enter Yale. A speciality is made of preparing young men for the Yale entrance examinations.
 Last summer the Old Lyme Inn was used by the school, but larger quar- ters are required and it was desired to have place where the school might be by itself. which is considered more conducive to good work.
 Usually the school has about a score Of pupils. The term is but about three months. The school is expensive a course costing about s1,000. The school faculty is supplied and personal at tention given to the needs of each pupil.
 Carroll c. Hincks. who was man ager of the Yale varsity football team in 1911 will be manager of the school.
 At the Yale quarters there are con- Veniences of all kinds and the accom- modations for sleeping and eating are such as to make the place ideal for summer school of this kind.

Edward & Warner, chairman of the state rivers. harbors and bridges com mission. in an interview concerning the proposed repeal of the act for an appropriation of s1.000,ooe for the inn provement of New London harbor, said:
 That the New London ocean termi- nal appropriation is not a matter o. state concern only is readily apparen- tC the observer of worldwide cond1- tions today.
 The higher degree of intelligence with it's rapid advancement in all countries, has for it's symbol commer- cial activity. Upon that and. that alone can great and powerful nations he built, hence if a component part Of nation like ours fails to recognize it's duty to its central government then just so surely Is the whole fabric or the nations greatness weakened.
 The original enactment of the New London legislation was a step forwar3 in the right direction and was bounC to be of a beneficial character to the entire state.
 The nations attention was immedi- ately called to the fact that Connecti- cut was about to join in the procession of progression and to attain pla3e among the sister states striving for commercial supremacy.
 Now on the eve of the completion of the Panama canal it is the avowed purpose to repeal an act which w.ll not only be a lasting disgrace to the state but will place an fndelible mark against us among our sister states on both sea.boards and will belittle Us among foreign nations.
 All attention is focused on the United States by the European mari time powers. awaiting to see if we will take advantage of the impetus to trade that is coming upon the opening of the Panama canal; hoping that we will not, so that they may still continue to dominate the trade of the world.

quirements from state to nation in order to get federal appropriations fol waterway developments.
 Look for one moment through the pa ges of the river and harbor act ap- proved by ex-President Taft March I, 1913, and there we will note item after item which makes improvement O. rivers and harbors specifically contin- gent upon-the erection Of terminal fo- cilities for the deeding of land and for the purchasing of dredges by the sev- eral states and counties where the ork Is to be performed.
 It is the determination of the gov ernment to make river and harbor ap- propriations contingent upon the abili ty of the states to furnish terminal facilities or funds for other waterw V i'm mprovements. The great demands of the Mississippi river system and Tor the many rivers of the south is the factor that is causing the changed at titude of the government, hence IL eau be plainly seen what a position Con necticut will be in if we carry out ne intention to repeal the New London bill
 Shall we injure our chance for all time, for all of, our rivers and haroors, through an act of repudiation, or snail we stand for Connecticut and the na- tion? It does not seem possible that we will make the mistake.
