GIVE STATE A RAILROAD
President Chamberlain Of the @. T
Offers Gift to Rhode Island

Providence, r. L., April 5.-Presi-
dent z. J. Chamberlen OF the Grand
Trunk railway yesterday In a letter
to Governor Pothier to turn over to
the state the partially constructed
Southern New England railroad as 1t
stands on the condition that the state
shall complete the road and operate
II by one OF the two ways which he
suggests.
The Grand Trunk offers the state
the assistance of its engineers.
President Chamberlin reiterates
that the line absolutely cannot be
completed unless the state guaran-
tees Its bonds and adds that IL the
state is unwilling to accept the road
as a gift and complete II, the contrac-
tors will remove their apparatus and
the road will be definitely abandon
ed about the middle of this month.
I'VE will turn over to the state of
Rhode Island" writes President Cham
berlin, "the Southern New England
railroad as II now stands after our ex-
penditure on 1t OF nearly two and a
half million dollars as an inalienable
gift, on condition that the state shall
undertake to proceed with reasonable
promptness to complete this railroad
from Palmer, Mass, to Providence
and to arrange for Its operation in
one OF the ways to be set forth. There
will accompany this gift, all plans,
surveys, estimates and data Of evei.
kind which we have collected during
the past three years with relation to
the railroad project. We will assign
to the state the contract with the
O'Brien Construction company and
John Marsh and all other contracts
pertaining to the construction of this
railroad. We will give to the state
the services OF our ENGINEERS in an
advisory capacity until the state en-
gineers are thoroughly familiar with
the subject.
when the road Is completed. we
will offer to the state the following
alterations:
First IL the state desires to oper-
ate the railroad, We will grant rum
ming rights on reasonable terms over
the New London Northern from Pal
mer to Brattleboro, VT, so as to make
the line sufficiently long to constitute
an operating division and we will al
! so make a traffic agreement between
the Central Vermont and the state
owned railroad for a division for
through rates on a mileage basis with
a reasonable additional allowance for
terminal charges or second:
The Central Vermont will lease
the state owned railroad for a rental
equivalent to five per cent interest on
the actual cost to the state of CON-
pleting the whole line.
IF the state Of Rhode Island does
not desire to accept the above offer
in any form we ask immediate consi
Iteration of the proposition hereto
fore laid before you, OF guaranteeing
the bonds."

Governor Bill Sulzer of New York
is getting to be joke, He made a
striking appearance on the stump last
fall and even those who opposed him
hoped that he might prove to be what
he claimed for himself. It is rather
pitiful to see him develop into an i'm
potent little wind-jammer, who talks
all the time about what he is going to
do. but does nothing, or. IL he does do
anything, does it wrong.

Parent, Teachers association and
mothers clubs are now doing active
work in nearly all towns and cities
of over 5000 population. The useful
ness of such organizations cannot
well be overestimated. There has
been some local misconception as to
their work and mission. 1t Is not to
find fault with existing conditions,
not destructive criticism, but con-

The long advertised Democratic
tariff bill made It's appearance at
Washington yesterday and the Demo
cratic majorities of the two houses
will undertake to put 1t through.
While the bill is far from being a
free trade bill. 1t goes as far as the
Democrats dare 70 in that line and
does provide practically free trade in
a few things, There Is much in the
new bill that is fair and just but there
are other features that will be Of
grave menace to New England. In
fact, southern Democrats have al
ready publicly Dragged that this bill
and the Wilson administration will
cripple the industrial supremacy OF
New England. The Democratic party
owes its very existence to the south
and southwest, and these sections are
manifestly In the saddle. President
Wilson, himself southerner and
free trader at heart, as shown by his
writings for the past thirty years. has
indicated pretty clearly his trend by
his refusal to put New England man
into his cabinet and his tendency to
select all his appolntees from the
south or from the immediate vicinity
Of New York city. New England is
the part OF the country that has. the
most to fear from this new tariff bill.
For fifty years New England has fur
nished the pioneers that have opened
up the great west. For thirty years
New England has financed this great
west to degree most remarkable.
The little state of Vermont, with only
100000 people, has over one hundred
and fifty millions of its savings loan
ed in the west and southwest. Yet,
just because New England has been
thrifty and Industrious and has stood
steadfast against the idols OF the
states rights and free
trade-now comes the south in the
first moment of Its new supremacy
with a measure planned to take away
nearly ali protection from New Eng
land industries, and to leave the New
England farmer at the mercy of every
competitor. 1t was to be expected
with the south in the saddle, and the
south is now the mainstay of the viii
son administration and he can do
nothing without its consent and ap-
prevail.

Occasionally we hear of freak bill
being introduced in the Legislature
by some state other than Vermont.
The Kansas Legislature has one pend
ing that provides that when two
trains approach crossing both shat
stop, and neither shall go ahead until
the other has passed by."-London-
derry Sitter.
Some years ago in the high-brow
state Of Massachusetts,, bill was in
troduced making it a misdemeanor to
walk upon railroad track when said
track is occupied by train In mo-
ton. New Workers are prone to poke
fun at the smaller states, but 1t was in
the New York legislature that a bill
was introduced providing that certain
poisonous drugs shall be sold only to
reputable physicians for their own
personal use.

 While aid is the present foremost consideration minds of governments, state and national and of all thoughtful men, should be turned to consideration of how best floods be prevented in the future.

 The necessary surveys should be at the earliest practicable time and the works should be created possible.

THE sIEau OF scUrAR1.

Charles A. Moore in the April Yale
 Review.)
 It was dull, heavy morning, but Tarabos was free of clouds. We could See with ease the scars of the trench es on its Hanks, lying far towards the bare summit above the forest that covered the lower slopes. Down be- low us between Tarabos and our selves, concealed even from our eyes by the underbrush and thick, second infantry trenches drawing closer and closer to the drowning citadel that alone held the Montenegrins away from Scutari. North of Tarabos, on the same range of mountains, we could dimIy discern the smashed roofs had found lodgment, and from which they could not be driven by all the efforts of the Turks. South, lay the misty valley of the Drin and the Boy ana and the city of Scutari itself on the plains. Through the still air there came to our ears a t1ldn, shrill sing ing, that rose higher and higher into an eerfe, tingling shriek that cut our very nerves. And, when it had reach ed pitch that was almost 11nbear- ably racking, came the shatterfng ex- pIosion of the shell over our batteries. As the pretty, white plume of smoke was caught by the gentle breeze and puffed away, there runfbled and re- echoed over the valley the measured, deep throated note of the Krupp gun which had sent the whining shell to- wards us Before the cliffs and mour1- tain-sides had ceased resounding with that cannon note, a gun in our bat teries spoke, and then another and another The mountain fairly rocked beneath us. We rose to our knees to watch the bursting of the shells. lis- tening to the fainter and fainter vail ing that ended in 9 thin zineyRQD before the white dots 1eaped out upon the background of the crest of Tara boS to show where our shells burst. Then the air was full of deadly, screaming, shrieking, winged iron; the echoes rumbled and rumbled again as the guns roared out their defiance and tossed death back and forth across the hills and valleys, from one cIoud-capped summit to the other. The pungent, intoxicating smell of burnt powder filled our nos trils, setting us to tingling with ex- citenent Now and then one of our shells would throw up a huge geyser of brown earth when it burst on the very crest of Tarabos, and we would leap to our feet and shout with pleas ure, for we knew that there were the enemy's guns. That our shells might be killing men over there never came into our heads. And when the shrap- mel from Tarabos burst over our heads, or to right and left, we did not realize that the nasty hissing, and the pat-pat that followed, was death di- rected towards us with all the intent to kill which men can feel It all seemed like some grand and ma gnif1- cent pageant, with the boomings and roarings and shriekings and sighings and wailings, planned according to some mighty orchestration to fit the titanic staging upon mountain tops, and above deep-shadowed gorges and canyons. Death was so unseen in it's coming and going, the sky much like the skies Of other days, the wind so familiar on ones face, the noun tains so peaceful and tremendous, that one could not grasp the truth that men were here for battle and sudden death.

ICE FAMINE TO
 HIT ICE CREAM

The Connecticut Association of Ice Cream Manufacturers held a, banquet in New Haven, last night. The off cers for the following year were elect ed. They are: President, John Semon. of New Haven; vice president, c. F. treasurer, C. B. McEnroe, of New Britain, and the executive committee, composed of Jacob Huber of Bridge port, W. F. DeKlyn of Norwalk, w. H. Thompson of Meriden, F. A. Judd of Hartford Charles G. Morris and P. G. Nicolari both of New Haven
 In his speech at the banquet Presi- de1rt Senon said: '"The question of ice is going to come most seriously before us in the latter part of the summer. The State of Connecticut does not pro- duce one-tflird of the ice necessary in it.
 we will run into famine in Aug ust and September and 1t will be a question if we will be able to sell to the people at the prices at which we are selling at this time. believe that 1t will be necessary to raise the price of ice cream during the coming sum nser. A short time ago I tried ro get some of the people in this state to sell me ice by contract but the pest they could offer me was that they would sell me the ice at the price prevailing at the times, that I desired it. be- lieve that we should tell the ultimate consumer of these difficulties and show them that we cannot produce further at the present high prices, not only Of ice but of the ingredients which are put into the cream. We are putting into the cream the best things that are possible, and rather than reduce the standard of our product it will be inn perative that we advance the price of ice cream.''

How to Banish White Nail Spots

Never allow yourself to forget that you cannot take too good care of your finger nails, as when neglected they detract greatly from the attrac- tiveness of the hands.
 Manicure them at least twice a week, and never let day slip by with out cleaning them thoroughly and polishing them with the palm of the hand, or, if you prefer, a chamois-cov- cred nail buffer.
 Should you come to know the day white spots, try some common-sense way of banishing them, as no nail can look it's best if so disfgured
 A great many times these white spots are caused by striking the nails against some hard substance The moral of this is writ plain for all to read. Avoid hourishing your hands in the air, and refrain from tapping the finger nails against tables and win dows and chair seats. A small amount of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
 Another reason why some women S nails are disfgured by white spots is that there is a stoppage in the flow of the nutrfnent juices. In such a. case it would be we'll to cover the nails with some helpful paste. Such an ointment can be made by following myrrh over a. low flame until it meIts, when add an ounce of refined pitch and mix well together.
 This preparation should be spread upon the nails every night and morn ing with the aid of a little warm olive oil.
 Persistence with this treatment will
