BONDING THE JITNEY

Where problems develop in a state which are similar in character to those which other states have experienced and wrestled with some regard is usu- ally paid to the measures which other commonwealths have adopted for meeting them Such. however. does not appear to be the case in Con- necticut if as indicated by prelim- mary report that the judiciary com mittee does not intend to recommend the bonding of the jitneys, but instead favOrs collecting a special state tax of S4 for the privilege of doing bus- mess
 Connecticut's experience has been very small with the jitneys in com paTison with that of other states. but wherever they have appeared legisla- tion has invariably been enacted which requires that a bond be furnished for each car. The amount of the bond varies in different states. the author ity to impose that requirement in some cases being left to the municipalities, but few, if any, are the instances where this protection to the public is ignored.
 l. rests with the general assembly to take care of this matter or delegate it to the cities and towns, but for the sake of uniformity it should be as- sumed by the legislature. What pro- lection is given to the public through the imposition of an additional tax of S4 on each car engaged in that busi- ness? In the west. where the jitneys started and have been in operation the longest, they are under the most careful supervision and invariably a bond is required. While the most of the regulation can be left to the va rious communities it is the legislature alone which has the power to bond them and it should not be remiss in its duty.

RECIPES.

Charlotte Russe.-Cover one-fourth of a box of gelatin with one-fourth of a cupful of water and let it stand for half an hour; dissolve 1t over hot water. Scala one cupful of milk, add one cupful of granulated sugar and stir until it is dissolved and the milk looks blue. Beat one egg very light, add 1t to the milk, stirring all the while. Take from the fire, add the dissolved gelatin and stir again. Flavor with one teaspoonful of vanilla and put 1t away to cool. Whip one pint of cream and add to the cooled custard. Line a glass dish with thin slices of the sponge cake and turn into 1t the custard, putting away in the cold to harden. If desired this recipe may be variously favored with strawberry, pineapple or peach juice from cans of fruit. It is not necessary to serve cake with this dessert

ROAD BUILDING AT CHESHIRE.

Inasmuch as there has been wide spread discussion of and experimental tion in the use of prisoners in high way construction, with pronounced opinions upon both sides of the ques- tion, there cannot help but be the greatest interest in the plan which it has been announced is to be tried at the Cheshire rcformatory of having the young men in that institution build the stretch of modern road for dis tance of about five miles leading to that institution.
 The experiment has not been de- cided upon without careful consider ation of all the details for it is not to be haphazard effort at road building, but under the direct super vision of the state highway commits sioner, with the young men placed upon their honor and, drawing pay at the rate of 50 cents a day. which will go to their credit to be used for the benefit of their people or retained for them when their discharge from the institution comes. The reformatory was a new departure for Connecticut and the road building plan is a new departure for the institution and state, but if there are any bad features in connection herewith they remain to be determined.
 That the young men there should be engaged in some such healthful and safe work is generally recognized. It can and should play an important part in their remaking and if it proves a success as there appears to be every reason for believing, 1t will furnish a basis for the introduction of similar ideas in other state and county insti- tutions.

HOW TO CLEAN SUEDE.

If you are wearing a pair of fash ionable shoes, 1t goes without saying that they have some suede some where in their makeup. They have suede tops or they have suede trim mings or some place there is some suede. Also, as a matter of fact, the suede becomes soiled rather easily. Now, there are several sorts of clean CT sold for suede and all of them are fairly good. But a woman who has had much experience with cleaning suede says that the best way to clean it is to rub 1t with a fine emery cloth. This literally rubs off the dirt and leaves the suede smooth and clean.

ITALYS METHOD.

The announcement that an under standing has been reached between Italy and the allies whereby the for mer will go into the war at the proper time and fight against Austria and Germany is but a result that was ex- pected. That every possible effort has been exhausted to bring Italy to see the wisdom of taking up arms with the alliance, or at least remain neu- tral under the promise of territorial gain, is thus indicated.
 Italy has been guided ever since the breaking out of the war by a careful understanding and 8 thorough regard for it's own position. It saw the op- portunity for the realization of it's na- tional ambition-the extension of the Italian border to include valuable and b~<mer Italian prpvinces and .cities--and

The acids of medicines have very destructive action upon the teeth. Iron tonics greatly discolor and injure the &eeth. The best way, therefore, is to take such medicine through a tube, afterward wash out the mouth with one of the alkaline lotions. Children should be taught not to crack nuts with their teeth or to pick them with pins. In short, it should be more gen. orally recognized that the teeth re- quire constant attention in order to preserve them through middle life. Di- rectly your teeth show signs of decay, pay a visit to the dentist and have them promptly filled.

Curtains can be made before they are needed, and one gets such a choice of dainty, inexpensive ma tertals in the early spring. The print ed lawns in the dress goods section make satisfactory curtains if one can not find what she wants in the scrim and Curtain muslins. White cotton voile can be used for the sash curtains edged with lace.
 The colored curtains should be made with a valance, and if made as follows one can save on material: : Cut two lengths, each measuring two and one-half yards, and hem one end. Cut strip the entire width of the goods and twelve inches wide.
 Hem one raw edge and sew the selvage edges to the top of the two curtains Booming between then) and making one long straight edge. Hem this and pass the rod through, then hang.

FLATTENED FLOWERS.

Flowers that look as if they had been pressed as we used to press flowers and leaves when we were children trim all the newest hats. They are placed between layers of chiffon or crepe which form the brimS of hats, or are applied fiat against the sides of the crown, but wherever they are found they are most effective. In all the pastel shades are they to be had. Daisies are used invariably in every combi- nation of more than two flowers.

ment holds against him. After arrest
ing the Chinese Mr.. Baird notified the
local marshais Office and Deputy Mar

partially filed with a substance be-
lieved to be opium. were taken. by Mr.
