The woman Of many friends, con- demned to a two or three weeks so- Journ at the hospital, is apt to be sur feited with flowers, which are the easi- est thing to pick up on the way to visit the sufferer.

PLAYING POLITICS.

For the time being interest at Wash ington Is centered in the strength which the president and the two nom- inees for the federal reserve board who are opposed, will have in the senate. With the apparent assertion of the chief executive by some of his ardent followers and the disposition to withhold approval of Messrs. Jones and warburg, if not to reject them, the claim is being made of politics. Tn the case of the latter at least this seems to be the fact
 It is recognized, or it should be if 1t Isn't, that the reformation in the banking and currency law depends to a large extent upon the character of service which Is rendered by the board which is 4to put it in operation and maintain 1t. Men best qualified to act in such capacity are needed and those who are recommended should receive . just. unbiased and non- par- tisan consideration. They should be weighed for what they are to do and perience, ability and integrity.
 With the senate in it's present mood 1t is impossible to tell upon how much strength the president can count in carrying the fight for confirmation before that entire body. This game of politics and its detrimental effects goes back of this board and is by no means one-sided affair However near right the president may, be in this matter. his insistence as task master in holding them to a continu- ous session and fnsistence upon fur ther legislation under existing condi- tions while appointments are being held up, is but the working out. oi the whole game and means a severe test of his leadership.

REFRIGERATOR DISHES.

Covered glass dishes made especial ly for the refrigerator and sold at req sonable prices have two-fold value for the housewife
 Tn the first place, she can see at glance what they contain; in the sec ond, all danger that one article of food will absorb some of the properties of another is removed. Butter becomes tainted merely from standing in close proximity to meat or vegetables. If 1t is not actually spoiled it loses it's purity and sweetness.
 Delicate desserts lose their flavor simply from standing overnight in the refrigerator uncovered.
 These glass dishes come in differ ent shapes and sizes. An oblong glass butter dish, similar in style to the old fashioned ones once used on the table, costs only 25 cents. There are fiat round dishes with high covers espec- iaIly suitable for meat and deep dishes with fiat covers in which to place veg etables or stewed fruits or whatever one has on hand

TIE SUMMER scHooL

None but those who have it realize what benefit or waste the long vaca- ton in summer can be. Even a large number of the children long for some thing to do at least part of the time, play even becoming a drug on the market when it is made possible for such long, unbroken period and it is readily recognized that a better dis tribution of the time between bene- ffcial work or study and play can be profitabiy made.
 Such to a large extent finds expres- sion in the number of summer schools which are established. These are, of course, conducted for various pur- poses and different ages. but through out their institution and conduct there is the general purpose of offering op- portunities and permitting all who de- sire to turn to personal use the abun- dance of what would othefwise be waste time. Both teachers and chill dren find such schools of great in terest and value.
 Even those which are started for the sole purpose of providing some- thing for idle hands to do, with the in tent that something of value in the way of handiwork will be taught, serve an admirable end in teaching manual training or household duties to hundreds of children who can make good use of. and delight in such in struction. To the teachers who are seeking further instructions along cer- tain lines 1t is an invaluable oppor- tunity and a wise use of part of what might otherwise hang heavily on their hands The summer school does not reach all who might be benefited but it nevertheless renders an ad . mirable service and is something every city might well have.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Lack of Fish and Gam. Protection,

Lack ot Fish and Game Protection.
 MT Editor: The brooks, streams and ponds of New London county arc stocked each year with bass and trout nngerlings from state and government natcheries and the question arises do our waters receive proper protection to the fish therein from persistent vio- lators of laws regarding the taking of fish Contrary to law?
 Why are not the many violators of the short trout law brought to jus tice? Why are people allowed to fish our trout streams during July and Augustz Why are residents of Rhode Island allowed to fish with hand nets for trout in the brooks and streams Of Connecticut from April to Octoberf Every season during the memory of the writer our fish and game laws are openly violated in this county Is this fact throughout the state or only in New London county? Are the game wardens afraid they will be- come unpopular and lose their jobs # they enforce the law?
 What protection does an honest an- gier obtain and how many trout does he get If a flock of violators of the trout laws are allowed to take short trout without restraint? Why are people allowed to use purse nets in the Thames river Also seines and nets in our ponds and lakes? In a few weeks one thousand or more pheasants will be set free in the county by the state fish and game commission Shall unlicensed hunters from Rhode Island be allowed to shoot them or licensed hunters of Connecti- cut?
 How many violators' of the law were
 punished in court by the game warden | in the last. few seasons? I fail to remember any. Who does7 It's too bad we haven't an active warden of the stamp of Game Warden Arthur L. Day of Putnam and Daniel son. who is. considered one of the best \ in the state
 Come. Mir. Game Warden. snap out of your Rip Van Wrinkle sleep and | give the licensed hunters of New Lon | don county at least some protection l the coming season from those who
 hunt without a license and from those men from another state who contin-
 ually violate our laws regarding fish
 and game. '

France are designed for this very purpose.

Tn this regard the New York Tribune wisely says: Eff two countries involved in a guar rel will wait year before flying each at the others throat. giving an. international commission a chance to straighten out the difiaeulty. blood will cool and concilia- ton is likely to prevail. Such breathing spaces are very necessary. and the more generally the principle of delay is accepted the happier the world will be. The United States should be glad to make such pacts with all the other civilized nations. z
 This is an example which this coun- try offers to- the world, for not only is such course advisable where 1t is concerned. but 1t is likewise an ad mirabie thing for every civilized na- ton to do with every other.

pisct osED BY THE INQUIRY.

In its. decision placing the blame up- on the third officer of the Storstad the commission, which inquired into the sinking of the Empress of Ireland. has been able to determine, through getting at all the available facts. only what seemed apparent from the early facts which were available in con- nection with the disaster. There was evidence of bad navigation, disposi- ton to insist upon personal rights without regard to safety or to others. with the unforgetable results.
 It is a noteworthy fact in this case that the commission finds no lack of discipline on the Empress, and that All requirements in behalf of safety were complied with, for thus far it is manifested that the last word has not Deem uttered. or theg final necessary step been taken to protect life on Steamships. With a realization of this the commission makes two valuable suggestions when it points out the ad- visibility of closing all watertight ooors and portholes in such compart ments in foggy weather and that pre- ferabiy they should be closed between sunset and sunrise, and that further consideration should be given to the placing of rafts on the top deck which would release themselves automatical. H when a vessel sinks.
 These are matters in which the i'm. porfnnce of the suggestions has beer emphasized in this St. Lawrence col hsion. Watertight compartment: amount to nothing unless they are pu into use before the water enters, whii, the quick time in which the big line, sank indicates the value which raft. automatically released would be ii such instances. There are very few steamship disasters which do not fur, nfsh lessons for the future and tn, storstad Empress collision is no among the few.

HIGH COLLARS.

Neekwear, conspicuous by It's ab- sence for several seasons. has become one of the most important features of womens dress. Instead of the necks cut low in the back have appeared high Medici collars. most of them wired to preserve the desirable high effect Then there are the soft. un- wired styles which stand or fall but all showing fiaring effect.
 Materials differ. There are the very thin organdies. muslins. chiffons and faces, which have to be wired to hold them in place, then the heavier ma terials such as linen and pique. and all of them made either plain. em- broidered in eyelet or French en- broidery or as fanciful as may be de- sired
 Collars were once considered too frivolous for women to wear. but the styles this season are the daintiest bits one could imagine. adding a touch of chicness to an otherwise plain waist.

NET SLIPS.

Summer attire makes all that is worn underneath of additional importance as to cut and decoration.
 The princess slip is worn by many women in preference to the separate petticoat- The slip fits with kindly difference to the lines of the figure and are intended to take up as little room as possible under the outer garments.
 Net, either plain or figured, is de- hghtful for slips. There Is a liking for the sheer organdie. which fashions so many of the new undergarments Whatever trimming is used on the slips is applied fiat about the top and in the form of lace or net frill at the hem.
