The Waterbury Women.

Says the Waterbury Americatt i; "When the Waterbury registrars of voters finished their eleven hours of iabor-and they had to have their meals sent in-on Thursday they found that only 30 more men then women had qualified as new voters. They are having a battle over the makeup of the educa- tion board In Waterbury and the politi- cal leaders have been busily securing the support of the gentler sex. Incl dentally the coming municipal election is likely to do things to the argument to the anti-sutfragists that women won't vote when they have the opportunity. Whether it will stimulate feminine d. re for more extensive voting privi- leges remains to be seen.''

Ice Glazed Salmon.

Ice jackets have been found to be the best protection for frozen salmon on their long journeys from the Pa cihc coast to all parts of the world. Thousands of tons of salmon are now frozen in the great factories of the coast for export, because the combina- tion of the ice jackets and the frozen meat has been found to keep the fish from becoming tainted. After the salm- on are bled they are kept at tenn perature of zero, or near there, for forty-eight hours and are frozen hard. If they were shipped this way, how ever, the air would get to the fish to some extent and tainting would re- suit, so they are dipped in tanks of water and given another freezing. This puts a thin jacket of ice all over each fish, or glazes him, as it is called. Aft CT two coats of glazing the salmon are wrapped in paper, packed in paper lined boxes and started to the export markets.-Saturday Evening Post.

Mark Twain's Retort,

At hotel in Jericho was an Ameri- can who had accompanied Mark Twain on his camping trip through the Holy Land
 No, sir" said he in the course of the evenings conversation, "I cannot re call single instance when the humor- ist was caught mapping. Once we thought we had him sure. MT. Twain came late to the dinner table, when we had sat down, and before he ap- peared we had invented clever trap
 He was still several courses behind when the rest of us were ready for salad, but every one stopped eating un- til MT. Twain caught up. He had start ed intently on a crisp leaf of lettuce before he noticed that no one else was eating. He paused questioningly. That was our opportunity.
 "'Now, MT. Twain some one asked, why are you like NebuchadnezzarT expecting that the answer would imply that 1t was because he was eating grass like an OK. Instead. and without an instant's hesitation, came the re- tort:
 Because I am feeding with the brutes.' '"-Pearson's Weekly.

 The excellent work that has been at the fairs in various parts of the State by Miss Alyse Gregory is bringing this young lady prominently forward as a suffrage worker. Miss Gregory is the daughter of a we'll known physician in Norwalk. After taking her college de- gree Miss Gregory spent sometime in Europe. She is an excellent hnguist speaking French and Italian with great fuency, and her ability in this respect has made it possible for her to address crowds of immigrant foreigners in their own language and explain to them the meaning of the movement for votes for women.
 At the beginning of the summer Miss Gregory joined the forces of the Con- necticut Woman Suffrage Association as an organizer. Since that time she has been steadily at work. She got up and stage managed the play "How the Vote was Won," which was giv, n wi h great success in Norwich, Falrheid. 0oo1nAo1 |, NOEWhAhi hhuleOu, OhJ DEOOk and Other places. since concluding her duties as theatrical manager she has been chiefly engrossed with the work at the fairs, where she has shown a re- sourcefulness and has made herself highly popular with the crowds that visit the fairs.

Do the Classics Help Us7

The answer lies in one little word, art. The classics, more than any mod ern literature, teach us art, and art is the conscious purpose of man to make this world more beautiful: Philip Sidney says that the object Of poetry is to make this too much loved world more lovely; l should extend f1is de- enition a little further and say that the object of art is to make this world more lovely, more lovable and more loved.-Henry D.

THE AMERICAN IDEA.
TIndianapOlis Star.l

In a general way we have known
that while we, as a nation, have bor-
rowed much from the elder nations in
the way of educational, sociological
and art ideas, the other nations have
been feeling subtly, perhaps, but none
the less surely, the value of American
ideas. The peasants of European
countries who have come over here to
live have made moderate, but to them
adequate, fortunes and have returned,
satisfied, to their native lands, have
carried back with them advanced
ideas as to agriculture, as to the voice
of the people in their own government
in the true meaning and value of lib
erty, and this leaven has insensibly
borne fruit.
But we have a striking, concrete in
stance of the growth of the American
idea abroad in the building of the new
capital of the federated commonwealth
of Australia. 1t is named Canberra,
after the district in New South Wales
in which it is located. The founda-
ton stone was laid on March II by
Baron Denman, governor general of
the commonwealth, and the building
will now progress steadily, not hap.
hazard, but following carefully
thought out and preconceived plan. 1t

The expected has not happened.
There was a widespread apprehension
that when Mr.. Wilson became presi-
dent there would be a slump In busl-
ness. That has not occurred. Inc
dark anticipations of politicians have
not been realized. There is gain of
20 per cent in our imports during Jan
uary over the figures of January,
1912. The total value of all raw ma
terial increased in January, 1918,
81, 100000 over that of January, 1917.
And for the seven months ending in
January last, the imports were 1914
900 900, as against s2S7 100000 in the
corresponding period of the year be-
fore.
We attribute this confidence and
stability to the fact that President
Wilson has taken moral rather than
a political stand His purposes and
promises are as pleasing to Republic
cans as they are to Democrats, if not
more so. President Wilson has taken
strong, resolute, independent stand
in favor of the public welfare. and not
so much upon political lines as upon
moral lines. In fact, he is taking the
stand of a high-minded citizen anf
that is encouraging to commerce anc
manufacture. 1t should never be for
gotten that righteousness Is the only
| thing that exalteth a nation, and Pres
| ident Wilson seems inclined to prove
| it, and will succeed if his party vii
| not interfere.

EASTER BUSINESS

Services Yesterday.

That the predicted tnclement wealth

the Easter observances is shown by
the large business accomplished by
the greenhouses and millinery stores
of this city. During the last few days
local greenhouses sold flowers by the
tons and shipped them to all parts OF
the country including a great many
in the city. Millinery shops report that
more Easter bonnets were sold this
year than during many previous sea
sons.

ed display OF Easter decorations on
Main street In fact the weather was
so disagreeable that il prevented
many from attending Easter services
in the local churches. Those that did
attempt to promenade the streets
during the lull in the downpour OF
rain were driven to shelter again.
However. despite the. weather
many persons attended church, 60
ing in taxicabs, rigs and street cars.
Some churches held their Easter ser
vices in the morning while other
churches had evening services. Musi
I cal selections both vocal and instru
mental were rendered in most church
