Issue of $273, GOO in Paper Will Have to Be Assessed,
 Rules the Senate.
Especial to Farmer)

Hartford. March 3o-Fo11ow1ng a spirited debate the Senate rejected to- day an amendment to exempt from taxation the $273.o0o court house bonds to be issued by Fairfield coun- ty. The bill authorizing the bond is- sue was tabled last week when Sem ator w. H. Com1ey presented the amendment asking for their exenp- ton from taxation.
 In calling the matter up today Senator Conley said that the exemp- ton of the bonds would facilitate their sale and possibly save the county a large amount of money.
 Senator Wadhams, Senator Magee, Senator Cheney, Senator Ta1cott and Senator Isben spoke against the amendment. Senator IsbeIl held that exemptions for municipal or county bonds should be covered. by general legislation and not be granted to He characterized such special Iegis- ration as unwise on the part of the state and unfair to other counties.
 In his remarks in opposition to the amendment Senator Magee said: For Heavens sake let's stop making spe- ciaI laws so we can tell where we are at. The statute books are full of special laws similar to thIs.''
 The amendment was rejected by a vote of 21 to 12, Senators Hewitt, Purcell, Brady and Whitney voting with the Fairfield county senators in favor of the amendrhenr.
 Another amendment changing the designation of months in which i'm terest shall be paid, was adopted. The bill with this amendment was then passed

ETECTlvE BARES
 SECRETS OF REDS ON WITNESS STAND

New York, March 307The state opened it's case today against Frank Abarno and Carmine Carbone, charg- ed with making bomb and placing it in St.s Patrick's cathedral, March 2. by calling to the witness stand Anaedeco Poignant, the young Italian detective who uncovered the alleged plot.
 Poignant, posing as a chemist, ob- tained the confidence of the prisoners and for months associated with them. It was during this period that the alleged plot to wreck the cathedral was matched and the bomb made. Polignani, familiar with the prison CTS plans, kept police headquarters here advised of them. It was due to his work that detectives were pIac- ed in various disguises, throughout the cathedral when the bomb was lighted.

No Chance of Vessel Run ming Within 3 Mile Limit Up To New York Harbor, President Wilson Says. Prospect For Internement More Definite.

Newport, News, March 3O.- The German auxiliary cruiser. Prin EiteI Friedrich lay at her dock to-day with smoke lazily pouring from one funnel with no evidences of what her in tention may be when the limit of her stay in the safe haven of neutral ports shall have expir- ed. The battIeship Alabama ar rived in Hampton Roads and while the authorities were si- lent as to circumstances which actuated the government in sending a warship here it seemed apparent that the pur- pose was not to protect the Prinz Eitel within the three mile limit as had been suggest ed.
 Marine men here, however, assert that one reason for the presence of the Alabama is to see to it that British merchant ships which leave almost daily, do not carry fuel to the allies warships off the Virginia Capes.
 Scores of men at the docks declare that British merchantmen after te k ing cargo and filling their bunkers have taken on deekloads Of coal such as would not be needed for an over sea voyage. Marine men also insise that the allies waFshIps frequently have been within the three mile Iii.aie at night and that one of the ships ven tured within the capes last week.
 The German raider, in all proba- bility will be interned, although those who have talked with her officers say they are ready to brave the dangers of a dash for liberty.
 Washington, March 30.=President Wilson has been informed that there is no chance of the Prinz Eitel Fried rich going to New York inside the three mile limit. The President told callers today he had received appar- entIy authentic word that it would be impossible because Of the draft of the vessel and added that he saw no reason why the EiteFs captain should desire to go to New York

Hot and Cold Clothes.

Some of the clothes we wear to keen
warm in reality prevent us from retain
Ing the body heat that is necessary in
cold weather. On the other hand. there
are many so-called Cool" garments which
by no means keep us as cool In the heated
season as other garments would.
Any fabric Of an open texture, which.
when warmed by the skin, allows cold
air to replace the warm, chills the body,
but any garment which minimizes the
passage of air through 1t, protects the
body with warmth. Thus newspapers,
heavy furs and leather ducking coats are
especially warm.
Frocks that have lots of air retained
in the mesh do not conduct heat from the
body. Wool Is such a material, because
of the stiffness and elasticity of the fiber.
Cotton goods have much smaller air cells.
Linens have air spaces even smaller.
Some Of the latter are extensively adver-
tised as possessing specific medical vir-
tues. This, OF course, is not the case.
Gaping threads and air spaces in some
cloths may prove the undoing of careless
individuals. For, should the warmed air
in them become soaked with snow, per-
spiration or other moisture, heat is rap
idly dissipated, the skin grows frigid and
the internal organs become congested.
This means disease OF one kind or an
other.

Business Methods in Keeping House

family is much healthier for the change.
She dresses herself and her children
in plain garments and doesn't worry II
they are not always ironed. In fact, her
flatirons see an easy time of 1t in the
Summer and they are not overworked at
any time, for she believes it is more bust
ness-like and sensible to wear clean gar
ments that never knew the pressure of an
iron than to use up all her surplus energy,
bring on a nervous headache perhaps and
waste dollars worth of fuel.
1t Is not the best housekeeper who
keeps the most immaculate house or who
spends all her time and energy digging,
scrubbing and securing.
The best housekeeper is the one who
looks after the business details of her
work, keeps careful account OF her ex-
penditures, sees that nothing goes to
waste, and keeps her family comfortably
clad and wholesOmely fed at the least ex-
pense of time and money.
In fact, she is a living example OF the
proverb which says; She looketh well
to the ways of her household

Cup Custards,

Heat a quart of milk in a double boiler,
but do not bring it quite to a boil. Beat
five eggs light and stir into them half a
cupful OF sugar. On this mixture pour
the scalding milk very gradually, beating
steadily all the time. Return to the dou-
Bile boiler, and cook, stirring constantly,
until the custard is separated. Remove
the custard from the fire, season with
two teaspoonfuls of vanilla and set aside
to cool. When cold, nearly fill the glasses
or cups with the mixture and heap with
meringue made by whipping the whites
OF two eggs stiff with two tablespoonful
of sugar.

White Fabric Hats.

Fabric hats are among the millinery
styles for the Spring season. There are
golf hats of golfine and corduroy; beach
hats of white. natural or colored shan
tung; shepherds check bingham or taf-
fetas are used for making sailors, and
those which have been worn are thought
to be the forerunners of a great demand
later In the season.
For these outing hats there is no trim
ming except a band Of ribbon around the
crown. White fabric hats have returned
to favor, and are worn with white linen
dresses. These are unlike the white en-
broidered linen hats that were worn sew
eral seasons ago, in that they are made
of sheer materials, as batiste, and have a
knife plating around the edge. DRESSER
hats are made of silk, Of chiffon, and
silk and straw combined, as a silk crown
with a brim of straw.

This is both wholesome and tasty. Fry
two or three large onions in butter or
clarified %drippings. When soft, add three
tablespoonful of flour and stir until
cooked and frothy. Now add slowly a
pint of boiling water, stirring until
smooth and slightly t%hickened. Have
ready three potatoes boiled and mashed
and add to them a quart of milk that has
been brought just to the scalding point.

gether, season with salt and pepper, let
it get very hot, then press through a
s~trainer into a hot tureen. Sprinkle over
the top a little parsley minced fine and

Eating Out of Doors.

Eating, as we'll as sleeping, out of doors
Is becoming popular and is suitable to
hot weather when cold dishes are in
favor. A big screened porch next the
~dining-room usually proves most conven-
lent for the housewife unless it can be
directly connected with the kitchen, in
which case it Is convenient for the cook,
at other times being cool, yet near enough
the kitchen so that an eye and ear can
be kept on the cook pots and a nose will
detect anything wrong with the oven.

Mock Oyster Soup.

The oyster plant is used for this de-
licious dish (by many it is known as
salsify). Scrape the vegetable and cut
into small pieces with a silver knife "a
steel knife would darken the oyster
plant. Cook in just enough water to
keep from burning, and when tender
press through colander and return to
the water in which it was soaked. Add
three cups of hot milk which has been
thickened with a little butter and flour
rubbed together and seasoned with salt
and white pepper. A little chopped pars-
ley may be added just before serving.

A quarter of a pound of boiled spa
ghetti cut in half-inch pieces, one pound
of stewed fruit, or some preserves, and
one teaspoonful of vanilla extract. Place
a layer of the fruit in a pretty dish, then
a layer of the %sphaghetti until all are
used, having spaghetti for the top layer.
Pour over a custard made with the yolks
OF the eggs, sugar and the milk, and bake

In the Laundry.

There are several meritorious washing
machines on the market.
One of the things to remember in using
any Of them is that the water should be
boiling, and that the machine should be
worked as rapidly and as long as is called
for in the directions.
In washing, always try to have the
water the same temperature throughout
the wash.
Before washing, all clothes should be
wet thoroughly with cold water, and
should be set to boil' in cold water.
In removing clothes from the line.
much trouble will be saved IL they are
pulled into shape and folded smoothly.
Especially is this true of table linen and
bed linen.
In ironing table cloths and napkins be
sure to iron with the warp. They should
be ironed first on the wrong side and then
on the right.
Wash table linen by itself. Wash hand
kerchiefs alone. Don't use soiled suds
for washing colored clothes or they will
be muddy looking. Don't wash stockings
in water used for other clothes, such as
flannels, or they will be covered with
lint.

Children's Dresses.

A particularly smart style for little
children is the Dutch dress. In these
dresses one usually sees a combination of
materials, says the Philadelphia North
American. The skirt Is sometimes made
of a plain or checked fabric while the
waist is Of white lawn. wolfe, organdie
or other novelty cotton. In other in
stances the skirt is of plaid material
while the blouse is of the same fabric,
but in plain color. In every case the
skirts are full, and are topped with a
girdle and a pair of suspenders.

ness in the slipshod manner in which
most housewives carry on their work,
he would "go to the WALL in a short time.
But competition is so sharp, he must
needs study his business from all points,
to make every edge cut. He must watch
his stock, so as to replenish in time; he
must keep everything up to date; he must
keep his store attractive, and cater to the
tastes of his patrons or he will lose GUS
tom.
He must keep his stock moving, watch
ing to eliminate waste, keep his books
carefully so that each penny is accounted
for.
The business of housekeeping-and it
Is a business, and a most important one
is rarely conducted on such lines.
In the first place, few h~ousekeepers
ever keep accounts. This, when a fam
lily is living on a salary, is very necessary,
as one should know just how ones in
come is spent. A certain sum should be
set apart for rent, or if one does not rent,
for the upkeep Of the house, taxes, etc,
for fuel, lights, ETC., for food, clothing
and incidentals.
Oftentimes We find we are spending
money for useless things and in this way
a saving may be effected. The wise mer-
chant buys his goods at the proper sea-
son; the housekeeper often buys vege-
tables and fruits when their prices are
highest, consequently her family is tired
of them when they are cheap.
1t is not always the most expensive
foods that are the most nutritious. For
instance, it is a conceded fact that the
cheaper cuts of meats contain more food
value than those higher in price.
The wise housewife saves her strength
and time, as we'll as her money. She does
her Spring sewing, except perhaps the
best dress, while the February and March
winds are blowing, thus getting 1t out OF
the way before more %strenuous tasks,
such as gardening and house cleaning en-
gage her time.
She does not hurry when the latter
task requires doing, but prepares for 1t
by getting washing, baking and other
necessary jobs done the first OF the week.
She selects a sunshiny day, one upon
which she Is feeling "up to the mark
physically, to begin. And IL anything
occurs to cause the miscarriage OF her
plans, she doesn't worry but like the
bride who set her wedding day for a
certain day II it didn't rain and If it
did for the next sunshiny day, she cheer
fully plans for another day.
She cleans one room at a time, and
doesn't wear herself out doing it. Neither
does she worry If two or three weeks
elapse before her house Is 'spick and

She has probably been cleaning out
closets. putting dresser drawers to rights,
