TssE ARMY RECOMMENDATIONS.

There are indications that Secre- tazy Of War Garrison may experience some Of the difficulties of the last ad- r11intssraaion in endeaverfng to have his recommendations for the better nent and strengthening of the army carried out. It was in the report Of the cabinet official concerning the needs and requirements of the mil ttaFY E0ecss of the country that evil dSuce was given of d careful study 0f the sitnatfoH and that the improve lzaAnts sOusht were for the promotion Of fhS eEfhsiency Of that branch of the coun4TYSS defense, It is but proper rha3 So long as q Rre4ensa is made to maintain an army. 1t siGodsd be so done AS 10 obtain tae best results and upon sosnetf14ng<

MORTON E. PLANTS OFFER

For a number of years Morton F. Plant has been doing a great deal for southeastern Connecticut Just how much is perhaps best known by the towns of New London, Groton and East Lyme. Ills interest in those localities has been manifested in various ways involving the expenditure of large sums of money. Large investments have been made for the public as well As for his own personal welfare and pleasure He has entered into every undertaking with the initiative and enthusiasm which are in keeping with his financial ability
 What he has done for those towns Is only what he has undertaken to do for the state and in offering to the fish and game commission of Con- necdcut his elegant game preserve at East Lyme, containing as it does three thousand acres and on which many thousand dollars have been expended he is opening the way for widespread public benefit instead of holding it simply for his personal enjoyment. It is a most natural thing that the offer should be accepted for the assistance which if will be to the commission in the work which it is created to do. The proposition fits the need as if the gtEer had made a study thereof, and in a way which, under the pres ent financial condition of the state. wisdom would have declared could not have beer attempted by the common wealth for some time to come
 The real worth of the offer Is prob ably best understood by the commits sion and those closely associated with ths propagation of game, but such must 6e acknowledged as a generous p'abiic spirited action which cannot help being appreciated

 Out In the garden Peggy sniffed the air with delight. Such a perfect day how wonderful all the flowers lock edLhew-
 The selnequy ended suddenly. There was @ ereeking, a grinding, then the earth apparently opened and swal- lowed her. Fer a time she was too dazed te think, expecting at any mo- ment te be blown up ST sucked down. As nething further happened, how every she began te take account or stock.
 She remembered there had been an old well that had been bearded over, sedded up and forgotten until the psychological mement when 1t chose to break open, landing poor Peggy buried up to her neck, and, though quite Hnhurt, also utterly unable to get out.
 ''Of all the ridiculous situations" she greaned, with tears of vexation in her eyes. Here I am just like those tortured Fiji islanders or something. If any enc sees me I'll die, and if they don't, of course I'd die just the same. O, Dehal De-H-ai Yahl Of course she won't hear me. Deeeee-na!"
 Spying a male figure approaching, she dropped hastily from sight. She simply could not bring herself te call for help from an unsympathetie and possible huanerously inclined stranger

 Presently her mind went back to the problem of the hour.

 'I have it. Whichever one finds me Rll haya of COurae tho loves best will hunt hardest. I simply can't make up my mind, and I must marry some one.' She shuddered at the awful possibility of the fate to which she had declared her life not an hour before.
 T can't be an old maid!" To a girl of Peggy's age nothing would seem more horrible.
 T wonder whieh will come first. !" she yawned. If it's Roland l bet he won't dix me out for fear of soiling his ralment; anyway it's up to them"
 Upon which thought, tired from her ride and worry she fell asleep fortu- nately before she had time to think of toads and snakes.
 She was awakened by voices when it was quite dark. She felt so craznped and cold she could scarcely contriVs to peek one eye cautiously above ground Jack and Roland were talk ing together. Roland had 8 lantern. by the light ot Which she could see ne looked pale and worn.

 T don't know, of course, but I feel sure. I'm off to the lodge, but if she isn't found when I get out I'll turn to and hunt By the way, aren't you coming?"
 "Oh, no, I must find her"
 A head shot out of the ground at the very feet of the astonished gentle men. head whose eyes glared bale fully at Jack

 Thereupon Roland completely dis proved her theory that he would not come near on account of the dirt Buffalo Courier.

An Appeal to Women.

Mr. Editor: It was my privilege to hear Miss Todd in the Norwich club house Monday afternoon. I had never before attended an equal franchise meeting. 1 sought the invitation to be present because a friend who Is an enthusiastic admireP of Miss Todd and one active in the equal franchise move ment had written me thus: and if she should talk on equal franchise or child welfare in your city. be sure and hear her, even though you have to beg for the privilege.'
 It's a pity that all the women of Norwich could not have heard this earnest, sincere woman who is laboring for the uplift of humanity.
 After listening to Miss Todd's plea an intelligent woman could neither continue apathetin, remain uncon- vinced nor turn her back on a cause the object of which Is to obtain the vote and compel the enactment of laws Framed exclusively for the purpose of providing for the welfare and protec- ton of women and children.
 Women come out into the open and declare your intentions" Do not sit in your comfortable homes at your well supplied tablas and etfusiyeiy sympathiza for the mothers who must see half clad, lily Rnrtured ehiidRefa go out in the cold of the early morning, tFiets, ia struggle for hours beyond their endurance for 8 hare existence; {; put get 6ut and menifest your sympa- thy by iabeFiHg ta obtain the vets, and then make your vote an expression of ydiif sympathy, HeiH by explaining to intelligent fathers, hFetheFs, husbands, sons and msR friends the importance

INpETERMlNATE SENTENCES.

The granting eff pardens Is a ques- ton to which every state must give more CT less thought as the sheTt- jennings and good examples are brought to light from other states and compared with those existing at home. There is a bill before the Massachu- setts legislature at the present time fathered by Prison Commissioner Ran dall in which it is asked that the in- determinate sentence be extended to those convicted of felonies. In sup port of his measure he contends that lit would relieve the courts from fix ing the maximum and minimum of those committed to state prison, which was right. for the courts duty Is sim ply to find whether a man is guilty and 1t does not study his personality to any extent. The question of when a prisoner shall be released should be left to the parole board rather than to the court Indiana and Minnesota have tried this and have found that it works with wonderful success
 This Is another effort in behalf of dealing out justice for the best effect upon the prisoner. It is being urged in a state where much consideration Is given to appeals for paFdons. even though 69 were granted there last year. It reveals the strong contrast between the efforts which are being undertaken in one state where ad vanced penology already prevails and those in such states, for instance as South Carolina where the pardoning power is vested entirely with the gov ernor. Great responsibility is impos ed upon the parole board by the pro posed change and calls for the placing of it in similar class to a high court

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
States With Child Labor Laws.

States With ChIId Labor Laws.
 MT. Editor: In reply to the letter of Feb. IS signed Information, I would say that all but two states had en- acted child labor laws in 1912, and that 80 states passed laws with refer ence to child labor, with 59 bills, in 1911.
 All the equal suffrage states have child labor laws, four have passed these laws since women voted. These four are Colorado. Wyoming, Idaho and Utah. Washington. Oregon, Kansas, Arizona and Illinois had passed child labor laws before their women became voters.
 The national child labor commission is the most influential agent in this work. It is a government commission independent of parties or factions These few facts are taken from pam phlets issued by this commission.
 Information could procure literature on this subject by applying to Miss Julia Lathrop, chief of the children's bureau, Washington, D. c. He tor she) would also find interesting facts about past and proposed child labor legislation in that very enlishtening little book, The Quest of the Best, by President Hyde of Bowdoin.
 Information might also be interested in a short statement of laws dealing with child labor passed in the Con- necticut legislature in 1913 which I can furnish.

MT. Editor: The clock problem may be a brain -twister to the Boston math- ematctans, but a well known Norwich calculator can take the kinks out of it in less time than one revolution of the calendar clock named in the propoSi- ton. We may get the same result by another route and are glad to shake hands (not of the clock). but of the hero of the first answer given Here is our method:
 The calendar clock under test must run 62 revolutions from o'clock p. m. January IT to o'clock p. m. February IT. The rate at which this clock goes being five minutes to each revolution more than the correct time, or as 435 is to 432, the equation is as follows: As 4S5: 432: :62: 61 revolutions, hours 52 minutes 24-S7 seconds, or. when the calendar, clock indicates 5 D. m. the correct time is minutes and 51 and a. fraction seconds to 12 m This brain twister is not calculated to pro- duce a hubbub in these parts.

 Scientific efficiency Is at it's lowest point in snow shovels. Much of the gain obtained by experts in shoveling coal was due to fitting the shovel to the man and to the size of coal. In the case of snow there is even more variation, and there is enormous waste in trying to use the same implement for heavy slush, for light fluffy snow, trodden snow, and hard crusted snow.
