THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

Meran. a famous health resort smothered by the world struggle. is described in the following war primer just given out by the National Geo. graphic Society:
 -SIeran. a favored garden spot of earth. an ancient Roman outpost where legionaries stood guard against northern barosrlans and where Caes- ar's sought to regain their dissipated heaiths, has maintained through all it's chequered history a high reputa- tion as a-pleasure and health garden, and as a resort for rank and fash ion. This picturesque Tyrolese city. banked around by lesser Alps. has been a favorite wintering place for wealthy Americans. a number of whom have purchased villas here, and some of whom have become perman- ent residents. Considerably more than 10000 guests sought Meran each year, many nominaIly. for their health. but most for the beauties of climate and surroundings and for the light gale ties of the fall and winter season
 The counts of Tyrol the noble name, long made Meran their resi- dence. The much decayed castle of Tyrol, the original seat of the family. overlooks the town. and the mountain shelves and cliffs through the neigh borhood are crowned with many oth- CT ancient castles and fine chateaux.
 "Meran is the first town of the up- per Adtge Valley. IL is 4z miles south southwest of Innsbruck. and % miles northwest of Botzen on the Brenner Line The rugged KuecheIberg> lies behind it. and all the hills beside are covered with miles of arcaded vine yards. Delicious grapes and wine are the towns most famed rroducts- A grape cure is one of the tourist at fractions of the place. while the cii- mate draws many suffering from lung troubles Normally. Meran would Just be lIvening up. for its season begins
 in early fall and lasts through to the | end of spring"

4 BIG PROBLEM.

AUTO FATALITIES.

The number of fatal antomobiie &C., cidents which have occurred in this state during the past month and sum- mer does not display a situation much different than exists in other states throughout the country. Deplerabie is the fact, however. that the high death rate continues to be maintained. An effort may be made to explain this on the ground that there Is 8 constant increase in the number of Automobiles and that therefore there is likelihood of more accidents, but that diseloses a tendency in the wrong direction.
 Figures given out by the state sec retary show that there has been a large increase in the number of auto mobile owners in Connecticut this year. That very fact increases the danger in the highway but at the same tirno it calls for greater care by the drivers of such vehicles as well as upon the part of the public. It is highly important that those using the highways should be alive to the dan ger of present day travel for they can do much to protect themselves, but the mere fact that a person owns an auto does not give him license to go out and take all kinds of chances which are known to endanger the lives of others. No auto driver can be en-
 outraged in the abandonment of care
 or in the disrespect for highway reg
 ulations, and the quicker this is real | ized by each and every operator the quicker will there be a reduction in the number of needless deaths. Auto driv- 1 CTS cannot rely upon people getting out of their way. They must obey the
 law and do their part in protecting humanity and when they do not the law should be enforced in a manner 1 which will make them give the mat l ter more serious consideration

KNITTED SCARF.

A pretty little shoulder wrap of new design will be just the thing for catchup work this autumn on the porch The wrap is merely a knitted scarf, about 27 inches wide and long enough to stretch from wrist to wrist when the arms are extended out at the sides.
 When the long scarf has been com pleted in an ordinary loose knitting stitch with, sephyr worsted and a thread of silk to give 1t that brilliant effect, which is so attractive in a worsted garment. the sides are at tached to knitted cuffs, which are done in a ribbed stitch. so that while elastic they cling around the wrists rather closely. When the scarf is thrown around the shoulders the hands are thrust through the ribbed wristlets and one has a cozy wrap, very light, yet quite enough covering for summer evenings. These wraps are charming in pale pink, pale blue or lavender. and they are very easy to make.

EXPERIENCE POINTS THE WAY.


 Experience is great teacher and 1t works out just the same whether it is applied to an individual or the gov ernment, whether it concerns an in- significant piece of legislation or the tariff. It wasn't long ago that the democrats were clamoring for free sugar and even though the adminis- tration understood the importance of revenue it was confident that 1t could get along under it's plans and cast aside the $7e,000.0 GOO, more or less, that had been received annually from the sugar that was brought into this country. It was considered nee essary to put this commodity upon the free list and sacrifice this amount of ready cash regardless of the harm that would be done to the industry in this country, because it promised SC much for the ultimate consumer Though the tariff on sugar is not to be entirely removed until next spring it has long been recognized that the sugar schedule is a revenue producing method which the country cannot afford to part with. There has been lost about $2O,oo0, 900 a year since the reduction went into effect and should sugar go onto the free list as planned 1t would mean the loss oi | S50, 100000 a year more. The depleted condition of the treasury cries out against it and though it may appear to be a case of eating crow there is common sense in the announcement | which comes from Washington to tht | effect that the provision for fret sugar will be suspended and it woulG not be at all surprising if the duty 1 imposed by thel last administration was restored. In this respect congress will have something besides theorie, i to guide it this winter, and it will no all be confined to sugar.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

The probability that the September gross earnings of the New Haven Rail- road will prove to be the largest in the roads history shows that 1t does not require that a wheat crop be moved in order to bring trafic to the New England section. Still. good crops or any other favoring factor of business in any part of the country benefits business in the East and the railroads here. If the New Haven had that four and a half millions which 1t asks from the Government for losses on mail carriage in the past six years by

TO FOLD SKIRTS.

To fold skirts for travelling pin the waist band and fasten the middle of the back to the center of the front. Lay the skirt fiat on a table, and with two pieces of soft paper as founda- ton, roll the skirt over and over to- ward the front first from the right side. and then from the left. thus forming two rolls that lie parallel to each other. If the garment has to be folded crosswise. place a piece of tis- sue paper or newspaper underneath the crease

COVER THE PILLOWS.

Cover pillows with good. strong cot ton cloth. Make same as the slips, only have them fit closer and a little and buttonholes in hem to button them over. They not only save the ticking, but cases that have become thin can be used much longer and covers can be slipped off and wash ed often, which is essential where the pillows are usually taken between the teeth while changing cases.

BURNED PANS.

If by any chance anything being cooked in a saucepan burns, fill 1t. when the cooking is done. with cold water to which a good spoonful of salt has been added. and leave to soak till next day. Then heat slowly. and by the time the water boils the burnt portion will have been loosened and will come off quite easily.

DO NOT CHOP PARSLEY.

When making parsley sauce instead of chopping the parsley. take 1t from the stalk and drop into boiling water to which a piece of soda the size of a pea and a pinch of salt have been added. Boil for a few minutes. then melted butter. The parsley dissolyes into small shreds and retains the color and flavor better than when chopped.
