NOT LIKELY TO
CALL MORSE
But No Formal Decision Yet by Inter
state Board-Plant III at
Connecticut Home.

Washington, May 26.-Aecording to
present plans of the interstate COM
merce commission, it is understood to be
unlikely that Charles W. Morse will tes-
tify in the investigation into the New
Haven railroads financial affairs. Mr..
Morse has written to the commission
suggesting that he be afforded the OPP
portunity. No decision on his request
has been reached, but the commission is
said to feel that he could throw no inn
portant light on the subjects rnder in
vestigation. His name was brought into
the testimony by Charles $. Mellen-
who told the story of how he, as New
Ravens president, received an offer of
S2O,O00,000 from Morse for the com
pany's water lines, and how Colonel
Roosevelt, as president of the United
States, persuaded him to reject the offer.
An attorney and physician represent
ing Morton F. Plant, one OF the New
Haven directors. informed the commits
sion yesterday that Mr.. Plant is i'll at
his home in Groton, Conn He is under
subpoena, and his testimony may be
taken later.
An agent OF the commission, investigat-
ing the physical condition of William
Rockefeller, whose testimony also is de-
sired. announced that he mad made an
appointment to see Mr.. Rockefeller and
would report as soon as practicable.
No definite arrangement has been made
for the hearing to be resumed to-day,
but Chief Counsel Folk says he will have
witnesses prepared to testify.

Sweetness and Flint.

There is sweetness in the Scandinavian
nature, but you reach it deep down past
flint. The late Gov. johnson. of Min
nesota, drew people because he had inn
agination and tenderness traits none
too common among his people. They are
undemonstrative in the family, and 1t is
not surprising that their youth on the
farms are restless from heart hunger.
Besides. there is dearth of recreation.
The Norwegian has his violin, but the
Swedish folk dances we hear so much
about were not brought in by the i'm
migrants. They lack the German Maen-
nerchor, Turnverein and Schuetzenfest.
II is unusual to find them organizing
athletic sports. Their social gatherings
center in the church, which of course
acts as damper on the spirits of the
young They love fun, to be sure, but
have not the knaek of making it. Shut
ND within themselves. hard to reach,
slow to kindle, and dominated by an
austere hell-iire theology, they are too
often the prey Of somber moods and
victims of suicide and insanity.
An experienced social worker finds
seldshness the besetting sin of the Scan
dinavians lie deals with If settlement
class gets a room or camp, they OBJ
ject to any Others using it. In any un-
dertaking they have in common with
other nationelities they try to get the
best for themselves, They withhold aid
from the distressed of another nation
atty. while the Irish will respond gem
crously to the same appeal. A labor
leader notices that the Scandinavian
workingmen are "hard givers."
On the other hand an observer re-
marks: "For a suffering person. circu-
late your subscription paper among the
Irish for good cause. circulate it
among the Scandinayians. From The
scandinavians in America" by Prof Ed
ward A. Ross in June Century.

Fitting Up a Boys Room.

When the small boy is old enough to
have q room to himself land this should
be bv the time he is four years old it
is most important for it to be made at
tractive.
A boy enjoys pretty surroundings just
as much. as girl. Although his room
should not be so dainty that he cannot
do as he likes in it, it should still be
cozy enough for him to want to stay in
it. and furthermore to bring his boy
friends to see and play in it,
His first room should be near his
mothers. One mother who felt that the
crib next to her bed should be put in
the adjoining room was afraid that the
only boy would miss her. To her sur
prise, the little chap was overjoyed to
have a room to himself Just like Tommy
Jones had. and the first night went to
bed as usual The next morning, instead
OF wanting to come back to her room, as
she had half expected, he asked anxious
ly: "Were you very lonely without me,
mother? | was right in the next room
takin' care of you"
It is not too soon to be collecting his
library when he shows his fret interest
in reaching-when he likes to be read
to, though he himself cannot read,
1t is a simple matter to construct a
bookcase of plain shelves. If space is
lacking, they can be fitted into the al
cove or the unused closed door. or placed
under a window seat and covered with
cretonne.
Plain, sturdy mission bookstands can
be bought for $3.50 and more. Some of
these are quite low-barely as high as a
table; but they hold quite number of
volumes: they have the advantage of
fitting into a corner; they are light
enough to move easily, and since they
are not carved, they are easily kept free
from dust.
Mission furniture is well suited to a
boys den, and since boys grow up so
quickly. it is a good plan on his birth
day and at Christmas systematically to
give him equipment for his room-an
easy chair one time. reading lamp the
next, table or a desk.
1t is well to look ahead when begin
ming to furnish. just as it is wise to
plan for the future when selecting his
books. These must be sufficiently inter
esting to make him fond Of reading and
yet sufficiently instructive to form. a
taste for good books.
Boys rarely want window draperies,
and certainly not those of frilly ma
ture. They probably would not object
to cretonne hangings. A curtain at Che
door to prevent drafts is a good thing,
since it gives certain privacy with
out the necessity of closing the window.
1t is a great thing for the small boy
to be big enough to have his own room
and to feel after all more or less con-
slant espionage of bsbyhood. that he is
trusted-put on mis- honor.

FEARFUL HUMOR
COVERED Face
RESINOL CURED

Paterson, N. J., Dec. 0, 1918: about
a year ago my face began to crack and
get scaly in blotches. 1t soon got
worse and my face was all spotted and
rough, and it itched me very much at
night, and caused me no end of discom-
fort. After month or so, pimples and
blackheads began to show, first in small
numbers and then gradually covering
my entire face. IL was awful. The
pimples were sore and the rash was
itchy and my face had most un-
slightly appearance. could get no
relief. Resinol Soap and Resinol Oint-
ment caused me instant relief. By the
time another jar of Resinol Ointment
and cake of Resinol Soap were gone,
can truthfully say that IL was a COM
plete cure. Ny face had assumed its
former color and looks, due to Resinol
Soap and Resinol Ointment. They are,
/ think, the best for any skin trouble"

THE SITUATION
REQUIRES ACTION
"The Boys Will Report on
Various States" Teddy"
Is to Visit Wilson

Oyster Bay, N. Y, May 26.-The trip
which Colonel Roosevelt is to make to
Washington to-day took on new signifi-
canoe when it became known yesterday
that the former president would hold an
important conference with Progressive
leaders there. From Progressive mem
bers OF Congress he expects to obtain
first hand information as to the course
of events in Washington during the last
few months. While Colonel Roosevelt
said a few days ago that he desired to
keep out of politics as much as possible
until after his return from Spain, recent
events have caused him to consider the
question of jumping into the fray at
once. He already has expressed briefly
his opposition to the Wilson admins
tration's advocacy OF the canal tolls ex-
emption act and to the proposal to pay
S25, 100000 to Colombia. 1t IS under
stood that he will make his severest at
tacks upon the present administration :
foreign policy and upon the operation OF
the Underwood tariff law. 1t is not Inn
probable that before he sails for Europe
at the end of this week he will fire the
opening gun in what is expected to be
the hardest fight of his career.
Another possible outcome of the Wash
ington trip is meeting between Colonel
Roosevelt and Republican leaders. Re-
ports that such meeting might take
place reached Oyster Bay yesterday. Ii
was said that at this meeting the presi-
Dental compaign of 1916 and the can
didacy of Colonel Roosevelt on a joint
Republican, Progressive ticket would be
preached The latter suggestion was
secuted by Colonel Roosevelt. He did
not deny specifically, however, that he
might meet Republican members OF Con-
gress while in Washington. IL became
known yesterday that Colonel Roosevelt
received letter late last night from
former Senator Beveridge of Indiana.
Colonel Roosevelt left New York for
Washington at ten o'clock this morning.
He will be at the capital from three
o'clock until midnight. when he is to re-
turn to New York. Mr.. Roosevelt con-
firmed dispatches from Washington that
while there he would pay his respects to
President Wilson at the White House.
Judge Ben d. Lindsey of Denver, an
old friend of Colonel Roosevelt, came to
OYSTER Bay yesterday With him was
Mrs. Lindsey. Before leaving, Judge
Lindsey predicted for the Progressives
in Colorado this fall '"rhe Democrats
are in bad shape there" he declared.
"You know Colorado is beet sugar
state and the tariff law has hurt the
sugar industry. The Republicans show
some signs of coming to life, but they
are not as strong as some people think.
The Progressives are getting stronger all
the time, and | think we will have no
trouble in carrying the state"

New Hampshire Farmland
in Court on Murder
Charge
TAKEN TO
BRADFORD COURT
Jealousy Believed to Have
Been the Cause Of
the Murder

Concord, N. H., May 26.--Eugene
Wood, who is charged with the murder
of Horace w. Peaslee of Henniker, who
was shot while sitting in his little toy
factory Friday, was arraigned in the
court at Bradford to-day. Wood has re-
tanned as counsel Joseph A. Donigan of
Concord, one of Harry X. Thaw's law
yers in this state.
County Solicitor Robert Murchie of
this city, who has taken charge of the
case for the state, said to a reporter
yesterday that Wood is the only person
at present under suspicion. He said
Wood maintains he is innocent. He said
that if Wood is held for the grand jury
he will be returned to the county jail
in this city to await further action.
The accused man has been known to
be jealous OF Peaslee for considerable
time on account of Peaslee's friendly re-
lations with his employer. The MUIR
dered man is said to have acted as an
advisor in all business matters of Miss
Barnes and it was because she so relied
on the opinion and idea OF Peaslee that
Wood, who evidently entertained some
sort of an affection for his employer, be-
came insanely jealous.
1t is said that he often threatened
Peaslee and that on one occasion he
threw a large stone at the man whom
he considered his rival, narrowly missing
his mark. The stone has been kept by
Morrison Peaslee, son of the murdered
man, and may be used as an exhibit in
the case.
In Henniker the coroner, DR.. Chaun-
cey Adams of this city, conducted an
autopsy on the body of the murdered
man to ascertain whether he met his

RECORD IN SAND-LIME BRICK.
More Turned Out in 1918 Than in Any
Year Recorded.

The year 1918 was a banner year for
the comparatively new sand lime brick
industry. The output last year reported
to the United States geological survey
was valued at 81 1925, or Sl2,556 more
than in 1907. the year of maximum
value prior to 1918 and $3.50 more
than in 1912.
Michigan continued to be the leading
state. the value OF its product constitut-
ing 90 per cent. of the total value of all
sand lime brick produced in 1918. New
York was second in 1918, as in 1912, re-
porting II per cent; Minnesota regained
third place, from which it was displaced
by Florida in 1912, and Florida was
fourth i'm 1913. Eight states-Califor
MIA. Massachusetts,. Michigan, Minnesota,
New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania
and Wisconsin-showed increases in
1873 over 1919, and three--Florida, Ida
no and Indiana-showed decreases.
The average price per thousand for
common sand-lime brick was 1927 in
1912. compared with $6.46 in 1912 and
$500 in 1911; for front brick it was
SlO.6l in 1912, against Sl0.4l in 1912
and 1888 in 1911.
The sand-limc brick industry has been
the victim of boomers" Early in its
history it suffered severely by reason of
glittering promises to make for a few
dollars a thousand brick that would sell
in competition with high-grade clay face
brick. Plants were established for the
manufacture of sand-lime brick with
out regard TO market, transportation
facilities. or even supply of suitable
materials. Later came the natural re-
action, with a decrease in the number of
operating plants. Within the last few
