ACTING ALONE.

Official announcement comes from government officials to the effect that whatever this country has done. and it has been doing something in an effort to modify the demands which have been made by Japan upon China, as the result of the situation which has developed in the east, it has acted alone. The importance of this can be fully appreciated, in view of the fact that under the present conditions in Europe it would be inadvisable for the United States to unite with any of the belligerents in such a move, even though their sentiments are along the same line
 There is doubtless much which re- mains to be cleared up in relation to the demands which Japan has made and the exact situation which prevails in that part of the world today. Ap- parently this country looks upon the developments there much the same as do Great Britain and Russia, as evil denced by the communications which are reputed to have been made by them, but the wisdom of an independent move prevents us from giving any in dication of a departure from our neu- trality or a display of any feeling which could be interpreted as mean ing a closer understanding with either side among the belligerents, even though such might have no real sig nificance.
 Whatever may be Japan's attitude relative to such alleged representa- tions as have been made, it cannot escape the point that other countries do not look upon the present as the proper time for pressing it's claims, and that it is not time for throwing into the discard treaty provisions and international law.

AN IMMIGRANT STATE.

While every state is more or less in- terested in the immigration question there are few which are more so than Connecticut since there were but seven states which received a larger number of those who came to these shores in the last calendar year than Connecti- cut. Of the million and a quarter im- migrants who came to this country in 1914 over 33,0o0 of them came to this state.
 A steady increase in the number coming to this state has been indi- cated during the past fifteen years. In the decade between 1900 and 1910 there was an increase in the foreign born population of Connecticut from 2SS,210 to 32e.547. but the year just passed showed almost a third as many settling in Connecticut as did so dur ing that ten year period. This in- crease is due largely to immigrants

There is precious little excuse for that practice.-Bristol Press.

Bridgeport's streets are a monument to municipal incompetence, inefficiency and indifference. If Bridgeport were business enterprise under private management, the person or persons responsible for this condition would not remain in office any longer than it takes to utter the words Get outi" But Bridgeport is city, and it must bo afflicted longer than that.

THE PARASOL VEIL.

A novelty of note is the so-called parasol veil. This is a huge circular veil thrown over the hat so that it fall in equal ripples on all sides A border of ribbon combined with velvet dots renders this creation striking one.
 Still another idea is featured in a fancy mesh, yelling, so that it would appear over the mouth when the veil ing is adjusted. This style is strongly suggestive of the old time vanity veil.

It is a mistake to suppose that a healthy complexion needs no care. It needs a good deal of care in order to keep it healthy. A daily facial bath of soap and water is not enough even to keep the skin clean if one lives in a big city where soot and dirt abound. for soap and water do not reach the inner pores, and unless these are treated to a cleansing with cold cream they will become clogged in short order. So the daily bath of cold cream or some other cleansing property is just as necessary to healthy, clean condition as soap and water.
