STATE MILITIA IS
 NOT LIABLE TO BE
 CALLED TO MEXICO

Hartford April 20.-Adjutant Gen eraI George M. Cole. who as the chief of staff of the Connect ticutl National Guard, is naturally much interested in the Mexican situation. said when informed of the deyeiopzn ents, that he did not anticipate that state troops would be called out for some time in the event of declaration. of war.
 ..It seems to me that the navy, will have the situation will in hand said he. They must be within striking distance of the Mexican coast and will proceed to occupy Vera Cruz and Tampico, as already outlined.
 There are many regiments of reg uIar troops along the northern border of Mexico which can be thrown into Mexican territory at an hours notice. This will probably be done. Then if more troops are needed, suppose the state troops will be called for.
 Connecticut now has about 3,oo0 troops. counting all arms of the ser vice They are fully equipped and ready to take the field at 8 days no tice To fill up the organizations to war strength about 2,000 more troops would be needed distributed among the various arms of the service.
 Equipment for these additional men is either at the state armory and arr sena1 of this city. or held in the fed eral arsenals, subject to- the order of the acting chief quartermaster Of this state.
 If Connecticslt. s troops are called into service, the organizations will be taken to the camp at Niantic. It is probable that they would be under canvas in twelve hours from the te1e- phoning of the order to the arnories. Recruiting stations would be estab- 1ished in the citfess and the voIua1r ters sent to Mantle and apportiOned among the companies as fast as en- listed.
 Tn an astonfshinglyvsh vshort time, the present organization would be recruit ed up and started for the front. If more troops were then needed, a third regiment would be organized and sent to the front

"CHIEFs' BENDER II YEARS IN
 UNIFORM OF THE ATHLETICS

"Chief'' Charles A Bender. the great
 Indian twirler for the worlds cham.
 pion Athletics, will celebrate today the
 eleventh anniversary Of his big league
 debut. It was on April 20, 1903, that
 Bender made his first public appear
 ance in any league, wearing on his six
 feet two inches of solid red flesh a
 uniform which indicated that he was
 Q member in good standing of the
 Philadelphia Athletics, champions Of
 the American League. Bender was
 sent into the box in a game at Boston
 to relieve Eddie Plank, who was hay
 ing an off day, and the Injun was
 largely resp onsib1e for the 10 to vic-
 tory Of the Philadelphians.
 The discovery of Bender is just one.
 of multitude of proofs that Cornelius J. MeGiIlicuddy is crazy like fox.
 Charles Albert was born on an Indian
 reservation at Brainerd, Minn.. nearly thirty-one years ago, and was sent to
 Carlisle to sop up an education. He
 soon attained great proficiency in
 baseball and other branches Of the Carlisle curriculum, and played first
 base and pitched for the Carlisle nine in 1900 and 1901. The following year he went to Dickinson College, and also played with the Harrisburg Athletic Club baseball aggregation. There he attracted the attention of Connie Mack and in the Spring of 1903 joined the Athletic pitching staff, which then consisted Of Plank, Fred Mitchell. Ed WaddelI and B. J. Hastings.
 Bender acquired the title of ..Chief' early in his baseball Career In the Box he is calm and deliberate, ana nnanifests. the stoicism of his race. From his first appearance on a big league diamond Bender has always been frnperturbab1e under the vocal assaults of the fans, and the latter have long since learned that it is futile to try to rattle the rangy red
 man. Bender is 8 great strategist as
 well as brainy pitcher, and his eagle eyes miss mighty little in the course of game. In the 1911 worlds series between the Athletics and the Giants it was rumored that Bender had ssgot next, to McGraw's signals and was thus able to warn his teammates of every coming move of the foe. Wheth- CT or not that rumor was based on fact, it is certain that Bender was kept on the coaching lines nearly all the time and manifested an almost un- canny wisdom in getting players around and forestalling the moves of the Giants. Last year Bender pitched and won two of the games of the worlds series

THE kIMBLE DOLLARS

Large successes in business are not dependent on large capital. It is the nimble dollar that pays. The average business man turns his capital a good deal more quickly than his father did. The old time merchant bought half 8 years supply at time. He visited the larger centers of trade for these wholesale purchases, and he bought right and left until he was stocked uu for six months or more. All his own money and all he could borrow was locked up in goods
 Under these conditions, if a mer- chant turned his whole stock in a year, Re was considered to be doing fairly well. Today, it is the ambition of business men to turn their capital a number of times in a year.
 An enormous interest charge is saved where a man sees l11is money coming back to him promptly. A 5 old system was not q living return on the capital. Under the modern sys- tenn of quick sales. it yields hand- some return.
 The one means by which this mod ern ideal of business can be realized is by consistent advertising. Not necessarily sp1urgy advertising, be- yond merchants ability, but an amount of advertising reasonably pro- port1oned as a part of his regular sell. ing expenses.
 The public should favor the mer- chants who advertise regularly. Al most invariably these men have the freshest goods. They hold an article only while it Is suited to the season or the prevailing taste, and then they get it out of the way.
 AIso it is cheaper to buy in such stores. The man who keeps his capi- faI on the move all the time can af- ford to sell at a lower figure. Tlfe smaller percentage of profit on the selling price yields him an equaIls good or better return.
 It is an axiom of trade, that it costs money to hold goods In a store. The longer it stays. the higher proportion of rent. clerk hire, and taxes is charged up to it. Amy goods will stay unless the public is told about them

LONDON WOMEN
CAUTIOUS FOR
FEAR SPIES

LONDON, Dec 4.-Women's clubs
in England have been enlisted in the
movement to head off the activities Of
possible German spies and Austrian
and German women have been asked
to resign or discontinue their attend
ance at many clubs which formerly
welcomed them.
a number of prominent literary wo-
men have urged that English women
should be as cautious as English men
about their associates and should shun
all women of German or Austrian
sympathies at a time when chance re-
marks might give valuable informa-
ton to the enemy.
Reports from Belgium and Holland
of the activities of women spies who
served as governesses and servants in
Felglum and Dutch families have also
tnrUwn suspicion on German and Aus
TRAN women in service in various
parts of England The Belgian refu-
gees who are in England have issued
general warning against German wo-
men as well as German men, and their
tales of how Belgian cities were be-
trayed by German spies in all walks
of life have alarmed the English.
Alarming tales have been printed
in London papers of alleged German
spies high in social and financial cir
Giles, and practically all of the leading
mems clubs have asked men of Ger
man or Austrian birth to resign or re-
frain from frequenting the cldbrooms
during the war. Many supposed spies
high in official life voluntarily left
England before the movement against
suspected persons became so acute.
Charges were generally made that
even Germans who had become natur-
allied had often done so only for bust
ness and social reasons and were at
heart Germans as much as ever.

use. l am somewhat loath to employ
or recommend secret or proprietary
medicines or lotions not knowing their
compound; but on investigating was
convinced of its harmlessness and EN-

thing occurred during my observa-

family was suddenly afflicted with
general eczema. used EX-ZEMA-

procuring both prompt and lasting re-

would prevent me in rendering you
this testimonial, but my feeling of

Merchants Must Cooperate.

Editor Times Recorder
I have heard quite a number of
the Americas ladies discussing your
recent editorials on trading at home.
If you will kindly give me little of
your valuable space l would like to
say a few things from the shoppers
viewpoint. I am sure that practically
every woman in Americas agrees
with you about spending chr money
at home But I think it unfair to place
all responsibility on the shopper.
The merchant has his share of re-
sponsibility and should strive to meet
it.
He should not only give constant
and careful study to the wishes of the
public but be willing to take necessary
risk in buying the latest, newest
things and keep abreast the times.
So often we are forced to send to
other cities for what we want because
we cannot get it here. This is true,
not alone in the incest or most ex-
pensive goods, but of the smaller nee
essary things.
Then the interest in and courtesy
shown shoppers are big factors. Wo-
mans time is of value as we'll as
mans. In this fast age there is no

time to spend in idle waiting. For
our women, most of whom are house
keepers, to be forced to wait some
time before they are noticed or, per-
haps, to see clerks wait on others,
who have not been waiting so long, is
not encouraging to home shopping.
Our merchants should be sure to see
that each customer or prospective
buyer who enters their places of bust
ness receives prompt and courteous
attention.
During these war times while most
, of our dry goods merchants are SELL
ing for cash only, they should sell at
closest possible prices, making a mod
crate percentage only.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
Americas merchants can afford to sell
goods at as low price as they can be
bought elsewhere. But when they
ask from five to twenty-five cents per
yard more is it fair to ask that we
shop at home? 1t is natural and right
, to want to do the best we can with
each dollar.
Thorough sympathy and co-opera-
ton is the only solution. 1t is alright
to stress shopping at home, but let's
remember it is not one-sided affair.
