The report, it is understood, draws
the attention of the board to the fact
that the land commissioner receives
applications for sale and lease of state
land, passes upon them himself, fixing
the rates and holding sales of land and
timber without consultation with the
land board. Records show that dur
ing the present year 1915 acres OF
land were sold for 1921 ,019.87, on
which $64, ,159 was paid. Timber GOV

A FRENCH idea in hunting garb Is
~ shown here which the practical
American may make use of in fashion

dertakes tramping through field and

We wear short skirts, boomers and
leggings and are prepared to tramp she

paths. But hunting and fishing and

some, fishes considerably. and tramps

No one can fathom the idea of the
designer in making. to go with so
practical a jacket, skirt so entirely
unsuited to hunting. The proper skirt
is to be cut much shorter, extending
not below the calf of the leg, or at
most to the top Of high hunting shoes.
It Is to At smoothly about the waist and
hips and fare toward the bottom. 1t
should be finished with machine

brown linen or other strong fabric.
The cap is very good model, with

made of velours, chinchilla, velveteensa

would be hard to improve on this one.

IDEAS FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER
Seven Little Things Of Moment With
Which All Of Them May Not

When it is necessary to boil a
cracked egg add little vinegar to the
water. This will prevent the white
from boiling out.
If you have difficulty in cleaning
the candle grease from metal candle
sticks try setting the candlesticks IL
a hot oven for a few minutes. This
will melt the grease. OF course, care
must be taken not to leave them ir
too long or the candlesticks will mel
as well as the grease.

Wide skirt Has Arrived.

THE wide skirt has arrived" says q
fashion authority. 1T started with the
short, flaring minaret tunic. From
there it heightened and expanded into
the long, full Russian overskirt. Here
it ruled supreme for some time. but
at last the final drop came, and sud

half yard round-the- bottom skirt The
circular skirt hanging in quaint godet

skirt, and Paris favors both as smart
autumn styles. The long coat which

Canning Hint.

A vegetable soup is one Of the best
canned helps to the housekeeper. Cut
into small pieces some tomatoes
onions, parsley, carrots, sweet pep
pers, okra, etc. Stew together until
Thoroughly done. To each pint jar add
half a teaspoonful Of salt. Flavor with
celery. These soup vegetables are 81
delicious that just the addition OF
boiling water makes a very palatable
soup. Two large teaspoonfuls Of beef
extract to a quart of boiling water and
p jar Of the canned vegetables make
delicious soup.

PROPER USE OF WASTE FATS
oaved From Any Kind Of Meat They
Are Valued by the Economical
Housewife.

Have you ever noticed how enticing
sweet potatoes are when served with
Maryland pork and beans? Somehow
the pork greases make them seem
more like a dessert than a plain vege-
table.
Neither cream, lard, butter, nor
beef can take the place of pork fat
for sweet potatoes. Pork fat also
gives tang to beets, parsnips and
carrots which cannot be duplicated in
any other way.
The waste fat from beef makes a
better cake, a better pie crust and
better candies than the highest priced
butter. Cookies. buildings and cakes
have a savoriness so enticing when
made of beef drippings that not even
the most delinquent appetite can cay
them nay.
The fats, oils and greases from
lamb or veal all lend themselves 70
the economical housewife as q great
improvement over costly buffers and
cheap lards for frying, broiling and
preparing food in all sorts Of othel
ways. One part of these fats viii
give happier flavor to fish, beans
carrots and peas than ten times al
much butter. Indeed. a spoonful of i
will do the work of whole pound o
butter.
Then there are the "grube," 81
called by the Jewish cooks who re
move the fat and grease from gees
and fry it with the goose flesh init
crisp, brittle fiat cakes. The greas
from the geese and other fowl is wide
| ly used in Jewish homes. Some stu
dents think it's use has much to d.
with the relative absence of wastin
distempers among the people of thi
ancient nation.

IF YOU are casting about for inexpen-

anything that makes as good a show
ing, for the smallest outlay, as the
little serving apron. OF course these
small bits Of dainty apparel may be
made of fine materials, trimmed with
the more costly lingerie laces, and
elaborated into expensive affairs, but
these will not be any more pleasing
than palmer aprons which are equally
dainty and are made Of inexpensive
cotton fabrics trimmed with sheer en-
broideries or the cheaper laces.
The weaving of cotton into exquisite

gowns which women are privileged to

for the serving apron and for the

There is saving in buying enough
material to cut several aprons, and
they may be made of short lengths OIL
pieces or remnants, because the body
of the apron is often cut in panels that

NEW FISCAL YEAR.

This is the first day of the fiscal year in New Britain and there are some indications that it will be the most expensive, city-wlse, that the municipality has ever seen. The tax rate is going to be high and 1t may at present all depending on what the legislature may do before adjourning. Aside from what may be done by the water department in the way of add :ng to the water supply at Burlington, this year, is not likely to be of any particular interest to the city. There is no great work planned and although the expense will be high it will be due more to the ordinary demands of the city than to anything else. The expenses are unusually large and have been watching public affairs very closely that New Britain IS spending altogether too much money, that 1t is trying to do too much in some lines and not enough in others, but taken as a whole an effort is made to strike 8 rather even balance.
 What causes the expenses to appear so high is the fact that the income does not seem to increase fast enough to meet the needs of the city and all new Improvements necessitate an in- crease in the tax rate. The report of the building inspector, which appears in another column, show new build ings to the value of a million and half of dollars for the past year and to this will be added the buildings which will be erected before october i. All those buildings will not be completed by that time, but there are always some unfinished structures coming over from the previous year to make up for it and taken together this year ought to be fairly good revenue pro- ducer The city needs the money and more, too. in order to pay it's way.
 There have been some things which have upset the usual equanimity of the city during the past year. and they have tended to breed discontent. This does harm in many ways, but under present conditions there does not ap- pear to be any help for it. Much of the bickerings of the past year could have been very easily avoided.

nDICIT DEADINGs IN DRUGS.

If there was any doubt as to the difficulty the authorities are up against in dealing with the drug habit in this city it was removed this morn ing when it became known that a de- tective had been here for over week in order to apprehend those who deal in this kind of traffic and who are ad- dicted to the use of drugs. All of the latter have not been caught and it is said that if they were the cell room at the police station would not be large enough to hold them. Still some progress was made in capturing those who make a practise of dealing in drugs in violation of the law. Such people have regular customers and were it not for the dealers these peo- pie wouro be likely to recover from the habit because they would find it impossible to obtain the dope as they call it.
 business. so much so that two of the accused in the police court this morn ing were bound over to the superior court and may receive severe sen- tence when thefr cases come up in Hartford. The charge is theft but in reality dope is at the bottom of it. There has always been some people who were addicted to the use of mor- phine but the number was smal4 and it was rarely that they got into the police court and then it was on another charge. but of late, especially during the past year or two, num- Der of men and women have become dope fiends and others have ob- tained a living by selling the drugs in violation of the law. It is the lat ter whom the police are the most an- xious to reach because the others will cease using the drug if there is no illicit sales of it, it being impossible for them to obtain it in the drug stores. Some progress is apparently being made along this line
