PiCKETs POSTED BY FREIGHT HaNDL FRS
 RETURN TO WORK
Faint-heartedness of Watch men Leads to Unexpected Developments in New Haven Yards.

The fa1nt-heartedneSS Of strikers at the New Haven freight houses has proba bIy done more toward an imne- diate settlement in favor of freight handlers throughout Connecticut than any opposition of the New Haven road according to organizers here.
 Section hands, track walkers, ash employed by the New Haven road :n the neighborhood of New Haven were out on strike Wednesday and it was freely prophesied if they fought the battle, the company will make a gen eraI concession for the whole state system.
 Freight piled up and it was said that a switch engine was kept shunting cars all day long to prevent hopeless confusion. Hundreds sof tons of fur. niture, shipped to the Yale students for furnishing apartm ents and rooms, were piling up any many omplaints were made.
 The strike looked successful The 12 pickets duty sent for help and 40 more vert put. on the line. Instead of picketing, however, they listened to overtures from the company officials and within half an hour after being sent there, they were at work,
 The favorable settlement that was expected this week was put off indef- nite1y in this manner both ia New who precipitated the strike in Bridge port have returned to work But for their action it is likely conditions would have become so serious that concessions would te willingly offer d It is known that handling freight with fthe strike breakers has been a tre- nendous problem here.

Are All Useful Things Unbeautifula

In the current issue of Farm and
F,ireside, the national farm paper pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio, Herbert
Quick, the editor, speaking of the
beauty of onion plants gone to seed,
makes the point that we are prone to
look upon the useful things as unbeau-
tiful.
iTi-ere are people still living who re-
member when tomatoes were supposed
to be poisonous, were grown as orna-
mental plants, and called love apples.
When they were thought noxious, they
were bealtiful-Iike an innocent act
falsely condemned as a sin. AS soon
as they appeared in the soup they
ceased to please the eye, though as
beautiful as ever.
Down in New Mexico tie agricul-
tural college station is experimenting
with sweet peas as winter cover crop
and a forage plant. Shall We cease to
admire them and buy them at the flor
lists shops when they are used for
ensilage and plowed down to fertilize
the corn? l suppose so-and the pity
OF it is that so very many people who
in tat case will be sowing, tending
and haresting sweet peas will lose the
sense of their beauty, thereby losing
also certain proportion Of the happi-
ness properly belonging to the bust
ness Of tilling the soil

that the formal reply probably would
not be forthcoming tor another week.
1t was estimated in official circles
Il at the only response to Acuna's ques-
ton would be a message calling atten-
ton to the fact that all tie other con-
ferees attached their full titles to their
signatures. This, it was pointed out,
left no room for doubt that they acted
officially and with the authority of
ter respective governments.
Officials were rather at a loss to ex-
plain the object of the Carranza min
listers query. In some quarters, how
ever, it was suggested that Carranza
probably desired to delay his final re-
Spouse, which is expected to be an ap-
peal for recognition, pending estab-
lishment of his government in Mexico
City and the outcome of Obregon's
campaign against Villa forces in the
north.

Conservative Fashions This Fall.

Grace Margaret Gould, fashion ed
itor of the Woman's Home Companion,
presents a fully illustrated report OF
the fall fashions in the September is
sue of that periodical. Following is a
brief extract from her forecast for
the fall:
First we are to have conservative
fgure-the natural fgure-but with a
smaller waist line tan the historic
Venus de Milo. The definite waist is
an essential of the new fashions.
"Our clothes are to be conservative,
too; that is, when we compare them
with those of last season. The ridicu-
lously s hit skirt is no longer style; it
never was good taste The ankle
length skirt is the fashion. 1t must
flare, to be sure, but it must not fly off
on tangent.
SLEEVES are conservative and they
are charming too in the way they out
line the arm, while color and fabrics
carry out just the same idea. The
plain tailored skirt 6lis fall will be
more popular than ever in its long
useful career. 1t, too, will be con-
servatiye.
"1- suit jacket will vary in length
from % up to 80 inches, but it may
vary according to the height and figure
OF the woman who wears it. This will
help to blot out from our memory the
fat woman in the short, belted and
i faring coat"
