CALLING CARDS.

Formal correspondence has suffered change this year, brought about per haps by the change of attire. One point especially noticeable is that women's visiting cards are somewhat smaller than usual, due to the fact that they must fit into smaller mesh bags than heretofore. Girls cards are likewise one size smaller than those of their married sisters, and perhaps be- cause of society's superstition they are no longer engraved. Again, they may have a delicate touch of color, even if it is only line or a novelty figure de- sign of dresden tucked away in one corner

THE THAW CASE,

It must be apparent to the New York authorities if the law of that state is going to triumph over money, that they cannot afford to overlook any details in the handling of the Thaw case. While the acquittal of Thaw on the conspiracy charge may have been sat- isfactory to the deputy attorney gen. eral who conducted the prosecution, it is impossible to overlook the fact that 1t is closely associated with the discharge of former District Attorney Jerome from the case. Such may be only a coincidence but it is so direct ly opposite to results under the con- duct of the cases by Jerome that it cannot fail to attract notice especially since the move is immediately made for the return of Thaw to New Hamp- shire as a sane man.
 The verdict of acquittal does not establish the sanity of Thaw, and as a matter of fact New Hampshire has no claim upon the prisoner. Convicted of a murder in New York and saved from the chair only through the plea of insanity, 1t remains for that state to pass upon the question of his men, tai condition and determine whether he shall be aided in entirely escaping the penalty.
 It is impossible to overlook the fact that it is 8 struggle between law and justice and the Thaw money. A poor man under the exact circumstances would have long ago been forgotten. In all probability he wouldn't have had the chance to go to Matteawan. If he had escaped he would have been brought back without going to the supreme court of the United States to overcome the obstacles thrown in the way and there Is no reason why tho Thaw money should make any diff ference in this case.

INTERNED VESSELS

The increase in the fleet of Ameri-
 can warshtps guarding the harbors of this country where German ves- seIs are interned, to prevent them from slipping out for the purpose of rem dering any service possible at this stage of the war. indicates again the responsibilities of neutrality. Having taken advantage of a haven for the war and received protection on that ground they should remain where they are until the proper course is taken.
 Such interned ships being under the protection of this country might nat urally be expected to respect the po- sition of this country, and such may be the intent, but there are good req sons for believing that this govern ment would not be taking precautions which were not. considered necessary.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-15

The placing of extra vessels on the watch to prevent any violation of our neutrality, and to stop the interned ship of any country from imposing upon this country is significant move indicative of the fact that there are reasons for believing that such a move can be anticipated
 If, however. such has never been considered and has no better basis than rumor the move on the part of this government can do no harm. It makes it quite plain, however. that it does not propose such a thing will happen through laxity upon it's part. 1t has taken time by the forelock and prepared itself against an emergency in which move it is thoroughly jus tified. It is an obligation of neutrality.

PREVENTING cATERPILLARs.

No greater or more effective force can be turned against the invasion of the tent caterpillar than the school children. This has not only been rec ognized but it has been proved by the successful attacks which they have made against this foe of vegetation and the value of their work is thor oughly endorsed by the state board of agriculture in Massachusetts when it offers silver cups as prizes to the attendants of public schools who col lect the greatest number of egg mass es between the twentieth of March and the first of May.
 Even though concerted efforts have been made to keep down this pest, it is easy to believe that the school chil- dren of that state in city and coun- try will be able to show that there is much which remains to be done if that fruit tree blight is going to be kept at the minimum.
 The school children of every state should be encouraged to enlist in this work since the most successful at tack can be made by finding and des- troying the egg masses. That is strik- ing the pest at it's source. It is a preventive step which ought not to be neglected, and if in every town and community there was an organized eff fort to get rid of every egg mass seen the results would speak for them selves in comparison with the condi- thons in the past. Massachusetts thinks well enough of it to offer an induce ment to engage in the hunt and 1t would be an excellent thing if such existed in every school district. The chances of starving out the caterpil- lars are small, but the task of pre- venting millions of them is easy.

WISE HANDLING.

There is no more enthusiastic advo- cate of the development of rivers and harbors than Senator Ransdell, but he takes a sensible view of the situation which exists today under the curta:l- ment of the government appropriation when he declares that friends of wa terways have no reason for discour- agement''
 It is of course to be realized that financial conditions were such that curtailment of expenditures for a great many projects was to be ex- pected. The money was needed in other ways. It is also to be under stood that the country is insisting upon the use of such money as is ap- propriated for those purposes where it is most needed and where it will do the most good. It is folly and un- wise to devote millions of the coun- try's funds for the building up of pat ronage, or for the promotion of some expensive idea without any prospect Of an adequate return.
 1t was not unfriendlinees to water way improvements which brought about opposition to such appropria tons as were sought in the last two sessions of the sixty-third congress. = "0'o IA1o AioWieoSe tnal the eXpend1- lures Of the government are con- stantIy piling up and while it took no small amount of argument to demon strate it, it was recognized that many of the projects would not seriously suffer by waiting. and yet, as the southern senator and president of the national rivers and harbors congress says the waterway projects have been taken care of in fairly satisfactory manner It Is always best that such matters should be handled in a sen- slpie manner, which will permit re- sults without waste. and which will piace needs before the pork barrel"

ROUGH TOWELS.

A bath towel that is said to bring vigor and good circulation to the skin of mankind is now sold. It is made from strips of fabric of rough weave, woven loosely together. and it must not be ironed after it is washed. In- deed, any bath towel is better if it is rough dried, for ironing smooths down the threads and makes it softer, and is to increase the circulation by ir- ritating the skin. These new towels are especially useful for getting up 8 good circulation. The same material is made into strips to pull back and forth across the back and shoulders, and into wash cloths

The soft neutral tone of cartridge paper is a splendid setting for ornaments and pictures, while soft brown is a safe choice of paper for the average room. as against it almost any picture, be it oil painting, water color, portrait, etching or photograph. ap- pears to advantage. Gray Is also a good and restful color. A happy and popular combination is the gray wall covering with white woodwork.

USE PAI'NTBRUSH,

When stenciling on chiffon use water color brushes, as the material is too delicate for the regular stencil ing brush. The paint should \ be thinned with gasoline, which should never be used near a fire. The paint should be dried on a piece of chiffon so that the color and consistency are just right before applying it to the scarf
 White or cream ribbon, stenciled with attractive motif can be made in- to very fascinating little gifts. such as bags. pincushions, etc. The gift should be planned so that the stenciling can be done before the ribbon is made up
 After the paint is thoroughly dry the work should be carefully pressed with a hot iron, so as to set the colors

CHILD'S ALLOWANCE.

own allowance in proportion to the means of the parents as soon as they are old enough to know the value of money? This is what many a parent has said in substance:
 Certainly. An allowance is the best safeguard against the habit of extrav- agance if the child is taught to spend the money judiciously and to keep a strict account of all expenditures. It is absurd to think that a boy is not capable of buying his own neckties or a girl her handkerchiefs. What if they do make mistakes. They can be taught to profit by them and they must learn to rely upon themselves sooner or later. Children like to be trusted, and will seldom betray con- fidence
