LEGISLATION TO OPPOSE.

That the state automobile associa- tion will take an important part in the shapinE of new auto legislation is to be expected. The members there Df are vitaIly interested therein and there are reasons to believe that they represent the sensible rather than the radical drivers and owners of motor ears. Such at least is to be gIeaned from the determination to oppose such urcpOsed measures as the reduction of the age limit from IS to Is years and rhe bill for reducing the penalty pro- vided for those found guilty for the second time Of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor.
 There are automobile accidents enough under the existing regulations without removing any restrictions which would be an iuducement to in crease the number and without doing anything in the way Of tinkering with inc laws so that those who are ir- responsible or in no condition to guide such a vehicle should be encouraged.
 Ir is to he realized Of course that tho sutomobilists have their own safe tr 10 consider as well as that of the other users of the highway and the removal of safeguards places them in danger as well as everyone else. It Is tn he hoped. however. that these will not be the only proposed bills which they will oppose since opposition from that source on such matters should carry weight. There is the dazzling SsarchliEht menace which should mean equally strong opposition from the au- toists. It Is a danger which should be abolished or be regulated by the en- forced use of the dinner.

TRYING TO OVERRIDE THE LAW

Going beyond the court of last re- sort and endeaEorinG to have congress virtually absolve them from all blame by coming forth and paying their fines of Sz90. 900, the Dannury matters are making an interesting proposition to inc national lawmakers. Just how they can expect the government to come to their relief after violating q federal law is difficult to understand
 Contending that they were justified in practicing the boycott as they did against D. F. LoeWe and Co.. the su- preme court OF the country has decided that they were properly prosecuted un- der the Sherman antitrust law and by so doing supported the verdict that had been rendered against them For the matters to now claim, in order to escape their responsibilities. that the sherman law was never intended to apply to labor organizations is the height of folly. Not having been ex- elnpted in that act or subsequent pro- visions up to the time the boycott took place such a contention is preposter- ous. The highest court in the land has said that they have been given a just trial. that they are guilty and much pay the penalty. No one else could escape it; why should the hat terz?
 Throughout the entire legal fight of s. dozen years the national orsaniza- lion contributed to the cost. There was no appeal to congress for the defray- ing of any such expense. Having lost. 1nsead of appealing to congress to take pity upon them 1t would be more ap- propriate for the labor organization to assume the burden. What will the interpretation of the federal laws amount 10 if every organization that loses it's suit sends the bill to con- gress to be paid? Such would if granted be class, and unwise Iegisla-

school of medicine, namely the allo- pathic school is sufficient reason to foresee opposition to the measure. Parents and guardians who prefer the homeopathic, eclectic, osteopathic, or some one of the various newer syS-' tems of treating disease. naturally would object to the constant medical surveillance and examination of their offspring. by physicians of the one school of the medical profession rep resented in the school physician and provided by the state. It is argued bE the critics of this bill that, confninG school inspectors to practitioners of one school of medicine or system Of treating disease constitutes special privilege and class legislation, Q vio- latiou of constitutional rights. besides being manifestly unjust when it is considered that the adhe-ents to the allopathic school constitute 9. small minority of the present population of our country.
 The purpose of this bill. those favor ing fl state, IS to lessen disease and in the language of the bill ito insure better physical conditions of school children. On the ether hand. 1t is claimed, experience has proven that school inspection does not diminish disease. but on the contrary tends to increase it. The experiences of some of our large cities are referred to to prove that school inspection has not accomplished what it was claimed it would. It is pointed out that, accord ing to Chicago official tables chil- dren's diseases in 1906 numbered 2O242 and in 1913 aggregated 3S,G39. and each intervening year showed q steady in crease. Another thing which this proposed measure calls attention to, is that physicians are not yet infai- lible as to diagnosis. Such an eni- nent authority as Dr. Cabot of Bos- ton has stated that in only 50 per cent. of cases is the diagnosis correct. And it is common knowledge that physicians of the same school are con tinuing to disagree with respect to the diagnosis of cases.
 Tn view of this it is considered. by many that the state cannot consistent ly pass laws giving to one school of medical practitioners the entire super vision of the children of Connecticut which it is believed would be the re- suit if house bill No. S6 is passed The penalty for Q violation of it's pro- visions IS fine varying from S to $50.
 This measure is so manifestly un- democratic, so unAmerican it appears clearly to a large majority that it should never be enacted into law. The fact that it is asked for by but a few there being no public demand for it is given as Q reason why it's passase should be opposed and that the com mittee should be requested to report it unfaVorably. Otherwise parents should see to 1t that senators and representatives are correctly informed that they may vote upon it intelligent ly should occasion require.

PILGRIM TERcENTENARY,

EMBROIDERY NEEDLES.

The size of cotton and the quality of the linen determine the size of the needle that will produce the best re- suits in embroidery. The needle should be large enough easily to carry to the cotton, for if it is too small the cotton will become fTayed
 For linen lawn or handkerchief linen. number nine and ten needles are required. Number eight is the size generally used for most stamped goods, while for all heavy linens and mater ials of d like quality, number seven needle should be used. If a. very heavy floss is employed for working, then the needle must be of a size somewhat larger

 A worlds fair is something which is not expected every few years. It is al most valuable method of setting forth the progress of nations in va r7ous lines, but it loses it's force and value when one is crowded closely upon another. Such is perhaps nc better manifested than in the failure of such affairs to meet expectations
 The Pilgrim tercentenary should not pass without celebration and will not but if Massachusetts can devise some thing new for the occasion without of feT4ng the same old cut and dried pro- gra1nme that is often adopted for less important historic events it will be assured of a far greater success.

THE NEW UMBRELLA.

Before using a. new umbrella, insert a small quantity of Vaseline into the hinge portion of the frame. This will not spread like oil. and thus spoil the covering, while at the same time, it is a sure preventive of rust. Wet umbrellas should be stood on their handles to dry; this allows the water to run out of them instead of into the part where the covering and ribs meet, thus causing the metal to rust and the cover to rot. When the cover needs brushing, open the umbrella and place on the floor and hold the left hand under the part that is being brushed. In this way the cover will be prevented from splitting.

If you mean to save your sheets and pillow slips and towels, you must give them a glance before they go into the laundess' hands. Often a stitch set then will mend a little break that washing would develop into a hole. The hemstitching of a towel which has begun to break may be caught up in two minutes now. If you wait until the towel comes home you will find the hem hanging in a strip which will require half an hours work if it is to be repaired properly.

Women who pass hours caring for their hands pay little attention to their better treatment. Feet are best kept in condition by shoes that fit.

Frequent bathing keeps the feet from being tired and swollen, and it prevents roughness of the skin that leads to callous spots.
