Rep. Lynn W. Wilson's Plea For Free Bridge
 Over HOnSatOniC River
House by Close Vote Stands by Committees
 Report Which imposes Tolls

and you will inflict an enormously un- fair share of the cost of 1t upon the people of Stratford and Milford, who live in the neighborhood. You will compel the farmer, and the worker to pay for the bridge. You will make trade and commerce more difficult, and you will turn back the hands on the clock of progress by fifty years ;"
 Referring to the claim that automo- biIists from other states would help pay for the bridge under the toll sys- tenn, Representative Wilson said: ftIt will not be found profitable to put up in this state such barriers to traffic as will send the people from other states around it. Extend the principle of toll bridges in Connecticut a little more, and the neighboring states of Massachusetts will pass retaliatory laws. They will make laws providing that Connecticut people shall pay tolls on the bridges of New York and New Jersey
 MT. Wilson explained that under ex- isting law the Connecticut Company is required to bear the equitable share of the cost of erecting a bridge, and that the proposed bill would transfer the trolley roads burden to the humber users of the proposed bridge.
 The principal argument for the toh bill was made by Representative Evart5 of Milford.

ed nine artists, this years company
has ten, and the new additions are
all internationally famous. Perhaps
the best known is the new tenor, NJ.
Umberto Sacchetti, who for the past
three years has been leading tenor
for the Boston Opera company. Pre-
viOus to that he was affiliated with
both the Metropolitan and the Chlca
90 opera companies. OF him Freder-
lex Johns, the musical critic of the
Boston American, said: 'Sacchetti is
the only tenor outside of Caruso that
J would call gOlden-voiced. Ii he had

claim to the title of world 5 greatest

the company is Nikola Oulanchanoff,
the famous Russian baritone who has
been with the Boston Opera company

biggest faTorites of the present tour
is young American bassO, Edgar

Just because the testimony thus far
given at the telephone investigation
shows that the Independent companies
Of the state are leading a hand to-
mouth existence the Burlington News
goes out of it's way to hammer Gov
ernor Fletcher for instituting the in
quiry. In our opinion the criticism is
entirely unwaranted. Independent
telephone company owners should be
the last ones to complain because the
state has seen fit to investigate their
business, for~if there is actual need
of increased rates the facts brought
out at the Investigation will give them
the best reason in the world for put

SUGGESTIONS FOR BREAKFAST.

AT any season of the year fruit is
a most refreshing breakfast dish
served as the beginning of the meal,
then a bit of bacon always makes an
appetizer whatever else there may
be.
Dat meal outlets are a good sub
stantial dish made by using cold
cooked oat meal formed in outlets
and fried in bacon fat until brown on
both sides. Insert stem of parsley
and serve
Eggs in Nests.-Beat as many
whites of eggs as there are pairs of
people to serve as one white will
be sufficient for two Heap the white
which has been sailed on buttered
toast, hollow place and drop in the
yolk of an egg, place on a platter, and
when enough are prepared set in the
oven to cook. Serve with bits of
butter and dash of salt and cayenne
on each. Garnish the platter with
parsley. The extra white not used,
may be used in a pudding or cake.
Egg and Potato Relsh.-Select
smooth shapely potatoes and bake in
the oven w men zone, cut III Halves
and remove the center of the potato.
! Break in an egg yolk, sprinkle with
| salt and season with butter, add a

and add the mashed potato, which was
taken from the centers. Heap rough

Breakfast RolIs.-Cut a slice from
the top of the rolls, spread with but
ter and brown the shells in the oven.
Have ready some creamed fish, fill

JAPANESE TOWELING.
Runners For Breakfast Tables That
Are Artistic and Durable.

Japanese toweling can be put to
artistic in design and easy to launder,
80 it ought to be popular.
The most usual way to make use of
it is to make it into runners for the
breakfast and luncheon table. These
are strips long enough to go through
the center of the table, from end to
end, and cross it at intervals. so that
each end of each runner is used for
place. The ends can be hemStitched,
hemmed or feather stitched.
Instead of runners. doiiies can be
made Of this tOweling.e Make them
square and hemstitch them on two
sides. Napkins for use with runners
can be made in the same way. They
are attractive and easy to launder and
save wear and tear on more expensive
damask.

hemStitched at the end which hangs
free, and hemmed to go over brass
rods. If valance is desired. it can
be made of a strip of toweling running
lengthwise across the top of the win

need hemstitching and scanning, as one

a Harmless Bleach.

Peroxide of hydrogen is the best
bleaching agency known, for it gives a
pure white with positively no chance
of hurting the fabric in any way. 1t
may be used for silk, wooden. linen or
cotton. Use as follows: One teaspoon
full of peroxide of hydrogen to half a
tub of cold water. Allow the articles
to soak over night, and after rinsing
wash as usual and you will be agree
ably surprised at the result. This is
almost the same method that the mills
use in bleaching their goods from ma
fural color to white before finishing.
