tow WATER PRESSURE.

What the undertaking in behalf of a sensible celebration of Independence day has amounted to in the past few years is shown bv the yearly reduc- tion in the number of deaths and in juries- Less than 8 score were killed ss the result of celebrating and the mum per Of injured was greatly reduced. lt was a betterment over last years celebration taking the form of parades. paEeants and the making of noise but doing so with a regard for self and others That there should have been any reduction in the number of deaths was worth the effort in behalf of the safe asd sane campaign and the large decrease from a few years ago is of the greatest vaIue as an aid in spread ing the movement which has made it's appeal not in one section, but through out the entire country That it has been so successful is not so much the cause for surprise as it would have been had the idea failed 10 bring the proper response. It is 9 common sense idea and the results count
 The Fourth in Norwich not only served to show a profit from the plan, but brought to light a condition which has long been known and which de- mands attention The low water pres sure on the hilltops has previously demonstrated the handicap in fighting fire in those localities. The result is only what has been anticipated should a fire of any importance develop on Jail hill or any other of the high points about the city. It is a situation which should no longer be neglected. Those taxpayers are getting poor re- turn for their money

THE FAIRGROUNDS.

Norwich children have profted in past years from the efforts devoted to their help in the maintenance of the public play grounds There is reason tO believe that the success will be in- creased through greater appreciation and use of the grounds this year under the system of supervision which has been arranged The playground idea has outstripped all thoughts of it be- ing a hobby. It Is an institution with important educational advantages which has come to be realized as a need of every community. both large and small. Wherever the playgrounds are maintained there something is be- ing done for the welfare of the chill dren in keeping with and as an auxil- iarv to the school
 Not only does 1t serve to keep the children off the street. but it places them under proper influences, keeps them interested in something bench cial instead of allowing them to drift into mischief and harm. Play is inn portant in the development of chill dren during the summer time as we'll as at other seasons of the year and there Is value in having it supervised Those playgrounds which are main tained with classes for instruction in handwork, dances and games render a service both to the children and the community of lasting benefit. The in terest the movement has created and thereby the appreciation of it's value are well reflected in the cooperation for the support of the undertaking in this city. + is only proper that this at least should be done for the chil- dTen who must Stay at home for the summer

THE AIR AND TIE LAW.

The aeropIane has opened up a new and extensive field for the followers of Blackstone and with machines which are so rapid, there will be plen- ty of opportunity for the application of international laws concerning the navigation of the air There already exists certain well defined rules which aviators are supposed to obey and Germany and France well understand that airship trespass means trouble.
 The verdict of S3.000 for damages sustained by a collision of airships during an aeronautic meet in Italy causes the Toledo Blade. to hold that: Tt may indicate two things-that the science of flying has gone so far that it is now possible to fix responsibility for accidents. or that the lawyers have come to the conclusion thatfhey might as well make a beginning of that new litigation whose possibilities have so far only been guessed.
 we may expect lawsuit to follow lawsuit until there are tons of records, learned works upon the law of the air, some groupings of understandings as to the proper conduct of birdmen while aloft. the rights of persons upon whom aeroplanes may chance to fall or drop things, the rules of the aerial road soIidifed into law and decisions. tremendouslv solemn and important. that will make it known who owns the air
 Ii might be supposed that there is plenty of room for navigation in the air, but the aviator has not as yet gained the control which gives him all the desirable attainment of the bird, and aerial law is bound to provide ample opportunity for perfection in a new specially.

TO HOLD LINEN.

One of the dainty devices to add to the beauty of the brides household chest is the band of ribbon to hold piles of sheets. pillow slips towels, tablecloths and napkins in order.
 The band is made of pink, lavender, blue, green or yellow satin ribbon an inch and half or two inches wide It is fastened with small bone clasp and the ribbon is adjusted to different lengths by means of bone slides that move back and forth along the ribbon. A big satin rose covers the clasp. Two of these are fastened about each pile of linen.
 When the packages of linen are piled one on top of the other on closet shelves or in chest. the roses are pulled to the front of each package, and so the packages can be unfast- ened and towel pulled from one, pair of sheets from another, without disturbing the whole pile.

Even now the front of the smart gown has this line, but it rises slight ly toward the back. In a gray mauve crepoline this form is followed. The bodice is cut away at the throat and has bretelles of very handsome mauve, gray and pale ahber, embroidery, the ends of which, back and front, pass underneath the belt of mauve satin The kirnono sleeves reach only to the elbows and are met by long gloves palest lemon.

Unless you have magazine pillow bag, your motor touring equipment is incomplete. It should be from 12 to If inches square and be made of leather or leatherette to match the upholstering of your car, have heavi- ly padded sides. stitched edges and strong strap handles. Do not make the pillow so that it's mouth extends only across one side. Open it at least a third of the distance down so that there shall be no strain upon it when you hunt hurriedly for some article in it's dark interior. For the magazine bag, besides being the ideal back or head rest should have five separate compartments for the slowing away of periodicals, toilet articles and the innumerable small things which the motorist always seems to need,

SCIENCE NOTES.

Aeroplane manufacture in Germany IS far from f1ourishing condition financially. At present there are th1rty-hVe aeroplane construction works, not counting amateur con- struction, but in nine out of ten cases the orders come from the government and go to only two or three leading firms. In fact, the pilot officers are trained to use only two or three sys- tems of aereplanes, as it is not con- sldered practical in time of war to use too many kinds of flyers On the other hand, it was hoped that an ex- tensiVe market would be secured by the proposed founding of aeroplane posts in the colonies. but this promise is not likely to be fulfilled at present. The constructors also expected nquch from the national aviation funds and the treeently demanded credits for aeroplane work, but the distribution of the funds ruined their hopes, at least in part.
