In connection with the Elwell road

The contracts for these roads were
let last Friday by the county com
missioners to Messrs. Partridge and

was let to Mr.. Geo. "A. Snyder of this

and notified the county au-
ditor that they coald not sanction
this road building at this time,
whereupon Mr.. Jevne went before the
board on Wednesday, and after a
whole days session succeeded in get

has been confirmed by Mr.. Ogaard' :

Deserves Credit.
Because of this decision due credit
should he given to Mr.. Jevne for the
determination with which he per-

time. Had he not succeeded, these
roads would have ben delayed at least
another year and the development of
this county held back for that length
of time:
Great credit is also due to County
Auditor Slocum, TO our local state

to every member of the county board,
especially to Commissioner VIM. Dur

WHY FRENCH WOMEN
 HAVE FEW WRINKLES

American women marvel at the vel vety skins of their Parisian sisters and rather chide the fate which treats the European so graciously when, in reality, it is neither chance no nature which makes the difference. It is only the difference of care and the use of proper treatment which marks the beautiful skin from the wrinkled, un- pleasant one. The heavy massage is one of the American institutions which make the flesh and skin fabby, while the use of simple vegetable jelly cream takes little time and both cures wrinkles and protects against. them. It will not grow hair nor stain bed linen and acts immediately. Just dis solve one ounce Of almozein (every good druggist carries this) in F pint water, and before retiring apply the paste thus made to the wrinkled sur- face. At the very first application you will feel a slight drawing and note the fact that the blood is moro active in the region which is covered. This means cstimulation Of the face mus . cles and a greater supply of flesh building material brought to the sur face at the place it is most needed, which will demonstrate its power to smooth the skin and stimulate it so that the surfaoe becomes perfectly healthy.

CONTRACT FOR ROADS
 AT WoMEN's COLLEGE
Work Soon to Begin--Start College
 Buildings by First of June.

~ The contract for the construction of macadam roads on the grounds of Connecticut College for Women has been awraded to Arrigoni Bros, of Waterford. There were ten bidders for the road construction contract, seven of whom were from New Lon don. The job Is an extensive one, and involves, the expenditure of sew eral thousand. dollars.
 The college architects have not en- tirely completed the plans for the first five buildings to be erected, but will do so in a few days. Delay has been caused by the question that arose as to the advisability of a separate pow CT. heating and lighting station on the college grounds. It was at first the intention to heat each building separately, but recently it has been proposed to establish a single build ing which will be the source of light, heat and power, thereby reducing the possibility of fire to a minimum.
 President Sykes is understood to be heartily in favor of the latter plan. Fire is bete noir of college dormi- tories and the chances of it will be eliminated to the utmost degree in Connecticut college. Cooking on chaf- rooms and students desiring to give spreads will be required to prepare the dishes in room on the ground floor especially designed for this purpose.
 The contract for the construction of the first five buildings will be given out about June 1, it is stated. and work thereon will begin immediately thereafter. The college will open It's doors for the reception of students in September 1915. In a few weeks the college site will be the scene of build ing activity which is likely to con- tinue for several years. With the commencement of actual work, it is believed that donations for other buildings will come in from various sections of the state and beyond.

BATH TUBS PAENTY

Gov. Baldwin Tells Connecticut Mast CT PIumbers-John Trotand Trsas- uHed.

At their annual convention Wednes- day at New Haven the Master Plumb CTS of Connecticut elected these off, cers: President. R. T. Rock. Bridge port: vice presidents. B. F. Judd, New Haven c. J. Dickiesser. Derby; fnan- cia1 secretary, G. s. Bull. Hartford; corresponding and recording secre- tary, F. C. Booth, Bridgeport; treas urer John Troland. Norwich; dele gates to the national convention to be held in Atlantic City in June w. H. Day and A. Heimdel The place and date of the next convention were left with the officers, to be decided later.
 Governor Simeon E. Baldwin was one of the speakers at the banauet. He said in part: There was a very large field ready for the plumbers of Connecticut half a century ago, when we first began the construction of city waterworks. In my boyhood, New Haven, then as now, Connecticut's largest city, was dependent for her water on wells in each separate house lot.
 Bath Tubs 50 Years Ago.
 s'My fathers house was then one of the newer and larger ones in. the city. but the only bath tub was sup piled by pumping up cold water from a cistern in the back yard. and lugging in hot water by the pailful from the kitchen boiler. It was so much trou ble to get a bath that the bath tub was finally turned. into an aquarium for my benefit We preferred to re- sort to hat bath in each bedroom "a big tin construction-some five feet across, looking like a woman's hat turned upside down such as the dear creatures wore a few years ago.
 There were several town or city I meetings held about that time to act ens propositions to authorize a system of city water works. One of the old citizens, who used to be called doctor, presided as moderator at one of these. The advocates for water works made their arguments. Gentlemen said the chairman, if I may express the opinion of the chair, we don't want them. The chair has not taken a bath in forty years

 Plumbing was a rough art fifty years ago and even 24 years ago when this association was organized. I SUD- pose the eastern states of the United States lead the world in it now, lead in making really scientific plumbing fixtures, installed on really scientific plumbing basis; and that they lead it in the number of bath tubs in single house. I suppose this could be said pre- eminently of New Eng land"

 The invitation of the First Congre- gational church in Norwich to the con ference asking that the 1915 meeting De held here was presented and ac- cepted.
 One of the principal addresses of the conference was by Rev. Dr. Howe of Park Congregational church, who spoke upon the theme of The Sacredness and Dignity of the Christian Church. His opening words concerned the diffeernt attitude of the people of a community toward the church. He noted five forces that lend dignity and sacredness to the church. First, the appeal which it makes to reason. forcing the mind to the highest level of thought: secondly, that Christ lives again in the church That when one is dealing with the church one is touching Christ through men; thirdly, because of the work of the church in saving men. In this respect MT. Howe said that wherever an evil appeared there followed the church with drawn sword. The fourth appeal for the dignity and sacredness or the church was its destiny. In the last instance he said that the church is the one, mighty force in history which has prevailed, because Christ Is in 1t. That if human malignity could have crushed it Christianity would not have lasted 19 centuries. He appealed to the congregation to look behind and at the great humanity to come and to realize that they were a part of that current.
