ATTEND THE CAUCUS.

Every republican in the city has
reason to be interested in the caucus
of the party for the selection of can
didates for city office tonight. There
is a duty to be performed which can
only be done tonight and which ought
not to be neglected. It is only right
that there should be large
and representative gathering, that
there should be wise se1ec-
ton of citizens who will command
the respect and confidence of the vot-
ers and that there should be manifest
ed that spirit of unity which is based
upon a deep interest in the city's well
fare.
That it is an "off'' year should make
no difference. There is always an
Importance attached to elections. re-
CARELESS of the year which ought to
permit of no inattention when it comes
to caucus for it is there that action
is taken upon which election day re-
suits to a large degree depend 1t is
for the Interest of the city and the
party that the ticket selected should
contain the names of men who are
thoroughly qualified to look after the
business conduct of the city, men who
are thoroughly alive to its many in
terests, its advancement and growth
and men who can be relied upon to
stand for economy and efficiency in
city government.
The caucus is the time and place for
this to be done. The bigger the at
tendance the more representative is
the result and with the best of indi-
cations for success it is the time for
the republicans to name their best men
for Office.

AN EXCELLENT REFORM.

AS the session of the present general
assembly is approaching the end, it is
interesting to note that it has been
able to accomplish something which is
bound to be of value to those which
will be convened in years to come
This is a most important contribution
to the saving of time.
Four years ago a record was estab-
lished for length of session, it having
run way into the summer, being pro-
longed beyond all reason and for no
good cause. 1t was the elimination
of a habit which had been growing
upon such bodies, but it called for re-
form and by the succeeding sessions
it has been demonstrated that the fix
ing Of definite time when session
must end was one of the best things
that was ever done at Hartford.
Two years ago that requirement was
met, but only by leaving a lot of I'M
finished business. Time had been lost
which could not be recovered There
was not the disposition to speed up
and Friday sessions became a failure
This year different tactics have been
followed and 1t is to the credit of
those in charge and those who have
so acted as to give the needed cooper
alton that the end is to come Just
after the middle of May. Though a
trifie slow in getting started and the
waste of several weeks of legislative
days through half hours lost in open
ing there has nevertheless been a
connmendable response as the necessity
for disposing of the business was rec
ognized. Not only has the old buga-
boo that Friday sessions could not be
held been effectively disposed of, but
1t has been demonstrated that Monday
sessions are practical. This legisla-
ture must be given full credit for what
1t has done in this respect. 1t is an
example which should be closely fol-
lowed in the future.

THE HATTERS' CASE.

In accordance with the announce
ment made few weeks ago by D.
Loewe & CO. Of Danbury, which COM
pany recently had its judgment against
the United Hatters of North America
sustained by the United States SUI
preme court. the suit which has now
been brought to recover the accrued
interest on the funds belonging to the
hatters in banks of that and neighbor-
ing cities is the beginning of the eff
forts of the concern which was injured
by the boycott to recover on the YER
dict. This will be followed in turn
by the bringing of action for the TAX
ing over of the property belonging to
the defendants, which in most cases
represents all the hatters possess.
It is impossible to look upon this
step in any other manner that a Sc
rious reflection upon the labor
organizations which encouraged and
backed the hatters in their actions.

SCHOOL FOR FEEBLE MINDED.

From the action which has been
taken by both branches of the legis-
lature upon the bill for the change in
name of the School for Inabeciles to
the Training School for the Feeble
Minded and its removal from its pres
ent location at Lakeville to Mansfield,
which carries with it an appropriation
of 5000, 900, it must be recognized that
the legislators have wisely taken into
consideration the needs of this state
institution. It was one of the mat
tiers which the governor referred to in
his inaugural address and for that
reason there is good ground for believ-
ing that it will meet his approval.
This is state institution. the i'm
portance of which cannot be disre-
garded. In its present location there
are inadequate provisions for the care
Of those who should get it's attention
and it permits of no such additions as
are now required and as will be need
ed in the future Confronted with this
situation there is wisdom in making
the change in location at this time
and it must be recognized that the Sc
lection of the site near the hospital for
epileptics means adequate opportunity
for whatever engagements the future
may require.
Realizing the number of unfortu-
mates for whom duty and necessity
demand proper care. but who are now
either unprotected OF not receiving
that which they should get, the time
is ripe for the very move which has
been made. 1t shows the state alive to
it's responsibilities and wisely meets a
problem which the state is as capable
Of meeting now as at another time.

TO KEEP QUILTS CLEAN.

Many different methods have been
used by careful tlousekeepers for keep
ing the quilts or eiderdown comforta-
bles clean, at the top, where they rub
against the face. Those who have
tried turning the sheet over have found
that it is impossible to retain it in
place: and pinning it with safety pins
has not proved entirely satisfactory,
for. aside from the looks of the pins,
which are not attractive they are la
Bile to tear the sheet: but a strip of
cloth sixteen inches wide, turned over
the quilt so that eight inches will be
on each side of it, is an excellent pro-
tector.
1t may be of linen or fine cotton
made either with hem one inch wide
all around. stitched on the machine or
hem stitched, or the outside edge-the
one that Is intended for the outside of
the quilt-may be scalloped and as
much hand embroidery put on it as one
wants. This could be made of a strip
of embroidered founcing which has lit
tie open work and not deep scauops as
they would soon become wrinkled. The
appearance Of these strips is of the
sheet turned over. and there is little
work attached to ripping them off
when they are soiled and REQUIRE
washing. They save many cleansing
bills.

TO CURL OSTRICH PLUME.

Ostrich feathers that have lost their
curl may be treated at home by using
a piece of whalebone or the dull edge
of file over which the fronds may
be separately curled. 1t is no longer
considered fashionable to have the
feathers tightly curled. In fact the
absolutely straight feathers are af-
feeted as leaders of fashion, but it
must be confessed that on the ma
jority of women such hat garniture
takes on a woe-begone, detected look
that does not add to the smart en-
semble of the average dresser.
Frequently good reults have been
gained by slightly dampening an os-
trich plume-by using an atomizer
with little water-and then lightly
shaking the feathers over radiator
or an open fire, of course, not hold
ing them too closely to the latter for
fear of smuggling. When feathers have
become quite hopeless, from every
point of view, they have been known
to be effectively retored to usefulness
by Baking a sharp penknife and cut
ting away all the fronds from the
stem to within two or three inches
of the tip. When placed on the cha
peau the ertswhile ostrich feather
takes on the appearance of a quill. A
medium length plume is better than
very long one for this purpose.

WHERE THE COUNTRY STANDS.

Throughout the whole period since
the possibility Of trouble with Ger
many has doomed UP there have been
expressions to the effect that the coun-
try stands solidly back of the prest-
dent. 1t was confidently believed that
he would meet the existing situation
and meet it in accordance with the
requirements under prevailing condi-
tons. How well he has done this is
indicated by the expressions which
have come from press and individuals
throughout the country in support of
his attitude as manifested in the last
note to Germany.
If there was any question where the
country stood it has been entirely eff
faced. It understood the RESPONSE
bility which rested upon his shoulders.
If realized that if there ever was a
time for a display of patriotism it is
now, and from the tone of the COM
munication it is more certain than
ever that its trust has not been mis-
placed.
The country stood back of the pres
ident in the belief that he would cor
rectly interpret the national attitude.
1t approves his action and continues
to back him up now that it has been
revealed just what sort of a stand he
has taken and what demands have
been made of Germany. It is taking
the only logical position under the cir
cumstances, for while there may be
a difference of opinion as to details
or as to the diplomacy used. there
can be no question but what in the
face of national danger the head of the
government should have the united
support of his people. That he has
this there can be no doubt.

Stories of the War
Lack of Ammunition.

A strong plea for greater supplies of
ammunition is made by the Times cor
respondent in northern France. He
attributes chiefly to the lack of an I'M
limited supply of high explosive shells
the disappointing results of British at
taeks Sunday in the district of Fro
melles and Rickebourg. By way of con-
trast he records the fact that the
French, who cooperated in combined
movement against the German lines,
fired 276 rounds of high explosives per
gun in one day and levelled the Ger
man defences to the ground. The cor
respondent says:
TT is important for an understand
ing of the British share in the week
operations to realize we are suffer-
ing certain disadvantages which make
striking successes difficult to achieve.
Two armies, those of the Crown Prince
of Bavaria and the Duke of Wurttem-
berg, are still in our front holding at
full strength lines which are supported
by formidable artillery and are not to
be taken easily. Secondly, we are still
suffering from the aftermath of the
first gas attack at Ypres.
AT FromelleS and Richebourg we
found the enemy much more strongly
posted than we expected. We lacked
high explosives to level his parapets.
When our infantry gallanty stormed

unable to maintain ourselves in the
trenches won; and our reserves were
not thrown in, because the conditions
for success in assault were absent.
Until we are thoroughly equipped
for this trench warfare we attack un-
der grave disadvantages. If we can
break through the hard outer crust OF
German defences We believe we can
scatter the German armies, but to
break this crust we need more ex-

IS YOUR CHILD COMFORTABLE

When a child seems to stand incor-
rectly and there is no sign of muscu-
lar weakness to account for it, make
sure that the clothing is not at fault.
Perhaps there is too much weight
on the shoulders, or the hose support
ers are too tight, or the weight OF the
garments is not evenly distributed.
Perhaps the shoes are uncomfortable,
so that the youngster unconsciously
bears more weight on one hip to ease
the other foot.
Sometimes when a child is dull and
listless the clothes are too heavy.
This is apt to happen in the spring,
when warm spells appear in between
cold days.
1t is not wise to tighten fannels
until the weather settles, but there
should be change in outergarments
If possible. Nothing wrags a child
more than overheating.
More children catch cold from cool
ing too suddenly from a draught when
in a perspiration than become i'll from
too light clothing.
