brielle in them is a lovely, sympathetic
young woman. who is all the time
working her Vaccinations without ev-
en- the audience suspecting it. That's
Bernsteins way-to build up to
seeming climax and then topple it over
with another about which the audience
have not dreamed. In the third act
! Gabrielle is revealed for the first time,
not only to the people in the play, but
to the audience, as criminal mischief
maker, wrecker of homes. Even
then she cannot explain her diabolical
plottings. Her husband, listening to
her confession demands again and
again: why? Why? Why?" and she
does not answer. The wronged girl
friend demands to know why, and Ga
brielle cannot tell They all demand
the answer and Bernstein furnishes
none. But the point is, both hus-
bands, after receiving proofs of their
wives short comings, forgive them.
Those who remember Miss Starr in
1.-THE Easiest Way" and "The Case of
Becky" unanimously agreed that her
work has improved wonderfully. Ga
brielle is wholly a psychological role
and in the hands of less skillful
actress would be a miserable hodge

Wierd and Awful.

In it Bernstein Ibsens Ibsen in
wierdness and awfulness. Besides Ga
brielle little Nora and Hedda Gabler
are nusery children. But Bernstein
lets the psychology of it take care of
itself. He does not explain the mo-
tives of Gabrielle. He allows the au-
dience to figure it out for themselves.
That is art, yes, but far from satisfac-
tory to the average theatre-goers. No
attempt is made to explain.

MT Editor: was asked in good faith a few days back why it is necessary for women to vote in order to have laws enacted for the better protection and welfare of women and children. This question can be answered by asking another. Why, when labor trou- bles were seething and the outcome inevitable, did not capital play the part of philanthropist and provide for more pay and fewer hours" for the workingman?
 As easily could labor have obtained justice from capital by waiting till the employer advocating more pay and fewer hours for the employe as can defenseless women and children expecc laws enacted favoring them if such laws attack the interest of manufac- turers employing women and children. If the women-and men-of Nor wich are really sincere in their quest for information, let them take advan- tage of the opportunity offered them by the Norwich Equal Franchise league and attend the meeting to be held in town hall Monday evening, March 16, when women qualified to do so will prove that human interests demand that women should have the franchise.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

men who confess they have nothing to talk about, and who, because they do not want a certain thing themselves are determined that others shall not have it? Blinded by their self-con- celt. 1Hoglca1-eYen Vindictive at times and clinging to ideas long out of date, they might as well try to stop the stars in their courses as to sweep back with their feeble little brooms of protest the mighty wave of awak- ened sentiment that will not stay until 1t has swept from ocean to ocean, and the women of America shall be per mitted to defend their homes and their children with the ballot. Let the women stay at home and influence men and thus vote by proxy as it were," goes on the argument" We'll, just between ourselves, have any of you ever known a man to change his vote through his wife's influence? It sounds real pretty. but the number of such cases on record just equals the number of hens teeth
 The question of the regulation of vice cannot be accomplished by the ballot. And yet that is exactly what we have done, and are still doing here in California.
 Then the argument" proceeds to deal with the working girl, and de- clareS her condition cannot be changed by giving her the ballot, and adds that the majority of the working girls are loo young to vote. boln statements are incorrect. It was through the bal lot that the working girls of Cali fornia were given an eight hour day and working conditions improved, and in California at least. seventy-five per cent. of working women and girls are old enough to vote.
 But what's the use, Why argue against women who are heating the air and talking into space in a vain attempt to stay the wheels of progress which men themselves are helping to push on.

There's work ahead for the Ne.% London Business Mems association Of greater Importa nee than the matter of merging with an organization thaS has long since ceased to be publicly active as an opponent and has re- solved itself into a sort of helpmate and could not possibly be of more help after the merging process was com pleted. Attention was called in this correspondence some time ago of the lac kof interest shown in fostering the industries we have with us rather than to fly to others we know not of and the HOpsOn and Chapin company was cited as an instances. The company is still doing business, but in an office building while the big plant it has occupied for many years is adle. Ref erence was also made to another less pretentious plant that was Conten- plating removal elsewhere, and per
 hapS for financial reasons. People seem to be ever ready to put money into new industries to have them To- cate in New London and instances Of this kind are known where 1t meant serious financial loss to the local pro moters. This class of industries was certainly new as they practically started and ended in New London and at the expense of New London people If the Business Mems association
 has such a committee trade and manufacture, suggestion is again made that official visit be made to some of the smaller industries and ascertain the real reason why there is centem
 plati6n of removing elsewhere. The association has accomplished much for New Londan and there is ample CD
 pOrtunity for further accomplish ments aIeHg the same line.

The older organization in no way interferes with the work of progress of the newer organization, but strengthens rather than weakens it's work for the advancement of the city. Ever since the Business Mems asso- citation departed from it's original pur- pose and usurped the prSrOgatives of the New London Board of Trade. the latter organization. so far as appears on the surface, stepped aside and let the kood work go on. This under the belief that even double work for the same identical object might create tealausies and a feeling perhaps that would defeat some project that might be fer the city's good.
 The New London Business Mems association is q very active body while the other orga nization is engaged in a more quiet form of work and is per haps Q stronger ally to the oTga niza- ton than is realized by the gent eral public.

NEW LONDON GETTING TOGETHER
Merging Board Trade and Business Mems Association Urged-Has Been Fried Before-An Laborng For Same Purpose.

As the Board of Trade is no detrS~ ment to the Business Mems associase tion, and is rather a help to the irsE dustrial conditions of the city it fS almost beyond calculation to conceive the reason for reviving the idea of merging when but a few years ago it was decided that such a thing could not be done.

Mems association? There are times when the two organizations can work in unison and when that time come sthey are at work as q unit the work being strengthened by the two organizations
 The only reason given for the resur- rection of the merging idea at this time, is that the suggestion was made at the annual meeting of the Con- necticut Business Mems association. It is strange that there is no talk of the merging of the two state organizations except that the same conditions exist statewise as they do in New London in regard to the local branches of the Connecticut Board of Trade and the Connecticut Business Mems asso- ciation.

 Talking about wastes on the farm.
 The very biggest wastes are those which come from our spending time and thought and work and worry and hard-earned cash in ways which don't return any payment for the time and work, etc, given to them.
 Or
 In spending time work and money on things which don't pay as well as they ought to and might be made to-
 For instance; I've just been reading about two great and good COWS. Great and Good Friend" is the way certain foreign potentates address the president. Considering some facts of history and remembering some incl dents in the lives of certain presi- dents. l am constrained to think that great and good" is perfectly appli cable too. to a COW which gave IT, 557 pounds of milk and made 1,175 pounds and seven ounces of butter in a single year.
 That's the record of Sophie 18th" of the Hood Jersey Farm for the year ending January 2O 1914. Sophie's Rnm@Rd for the five years ending at that Wrle Is 64,25S pounds of milk and A. 424 pounds of butter. She is now de- clared to be the champion long dis Jance COW of the world, regardless of age or breed.'
 She's surely some COW.
 Not a great many years ago l brought up a Jersey heifer. Her mother and grandmother had been great butter cows: her sire was a reg ist cred bull of high pedigree I took rather more than ordinary pride in her. and gave her rather more than ordinary farm care. When she was but a calf. l was offered s30 for her by neighbor who knew her breeding. Later. after she'd had her second calf and had shown just what she was going to amount to, I sold her for S20 and was mighty glad to see the last of her. I think 1 got more than she was really worth, at that. She had one bad teat: she gave very small mess of milk: she insisted upon go sng dry" from ten to twelve weeks. She ate s much as any COW I've ever had. and gave rather less return than any COW I've ever had.
 No. Three" Later 1 changed her name 10 Rumble Goat No. 13." I felt sure there must have been crossers with either goats or bumblebees somewhere back in her remote ancestry. She possessed the. lawlessness and uncer- tain temper of the bumblebee, and she had the lacteal qualities of the tin-can fed goat.
 Now, from my observation. I am in- clined to think that there are quite as many farmers keeping Rumble goats" as 'Sophies." Indeed. rather more. for Sophie" is admittedly alone in a class by herself, while Rumble goats" are to be found in every town.
 And, if there was d waste of work and material, it is in keeping Bum blegoats" in COW stables and pretend ing that they are milch kline.
 l haven't at hand the figures show ing hom much "Sophie's keep cost for her wonderful year, nor how much profit she has made to her owner. But l have here clipping telling the story of another rather good cow AUchenbrain Brown Kate 4th,' a big Ayrshire weighing about HOO pounds, whose milk record for the last full year was 10,S20 quarts. Her own- CT IS a dairyman and he sold all her milk at i've cents a quart; s541.

arrived at that there is no excuse when we keep on wasting our time and olsr work and our money on things that don't pay for either.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-03-14
Whatsuer thsorx we may hold about

Whatever theory we may hold about this matter isn't of so much import ance. after all as the cold fact in yoIved. One COW earns her owner a good profit on extra poor care and feed: another COW costs him more than she brings in to him, no matter what her care and fodder.
 The first COW is a profitable in- vestment: the second COW is a four legged bunco, and all the fodder given her is waste.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-03-14

ifestly wasn't any of it waste, for it brought back in milk twice what it cost in money. I know I didn't give my "Bumblegoat' half that amount or value,--though I always fed her all she
 would eat. The smaller cost of my
 ration was. nevertheless, futile waste,
 for the COW didn't return me the cost of her keep.
Norwich bulletin., 1914-03-14

Now, we can't all of us have "Sophes" and "Kates." more's the pity On the other hand, we don't any of us need to keep ''Bumblegoats' any longer than is required to find out their worthlessness.
 Yet whole lot of us are doing ex- actly that thing keeping cows and horses and some other animals that don't pay their way.
 Will you tell me why?

N you'll subtract s1a4.62 from s541

V you'll subtract S134.62 from $541 you'll get S356.3S, which is the years gross profit from the big Airshire. Of course the net profit wasn't as great, because out of this S356.3S had to come the cost of milking, interest on plant depreciation in cows value, cost of delivery, etc. But against these latter items might fairly be set what ever the manure was worth and whatever the calf brought. Figures for those items I haven't at hand considering the amout and character of her rations I should think that the manure would be worth quite a pretty penny. And I don't believe that the calf was either given away or made into bob veal" That doesn't happen with calves from such a mother
