FASHION HINTS

(Written for the United Press
Behold the banished petticoat
Has now returned to grace
And ornament fair neither limbs
With crepe de chine and lace.
Quite like the prodigals return
The petticoat's will be
Because the fatted calves are all
Prepared for it you see.

PERPETUAL LOAD ON COUNTY.

\ bill before the legislature of s;pe- uiaI importance to the people Of New London county is that which seeks the order of the general assembly di- recting the treasurer Of this county to pay to the Law Library association the sum Of $2.00n annually to be divided equally between the law libraries in this city and New London and for S3, ,000 additional this year for the en- 1argenent of the law library here.
 By the provisions of this act if passed there will he saddled upon the county an annual expense of $2,000 for the purchase of law books for the benefit of the legal profes sion. At the present time the perpetual expense Of the county for this purpose is $1, ,000 annually, which expense goes towards the maintenance of not one library for the lawyers of this county but for the support of two libraries. Not satisfied with that. tho aim ia that there shall be a doubling Of the expense for each year in the future. with no assurance that 2 still further taxing of the peo- pie cf this county will not be neces- saIy to meet such demands. Such a drain upon the county $ unjustifed and 1t is not surprising that many cannos understand why the working tools should be purchased Toy the coun- ty for the lawyers any more than for the farmers, and others. Equally diff feu1t is it to explain the necessity of maintaining two libraries In a county 2 r2ssessed of the trans sportation faciI- ities this has.
 New Londor county is at the pres ent time shoulderjng z. debt running up well towards s1000G0 the removal of which will Teauire several county taxes. Economy is the ratclword in the legislature this winter and it should be made to cover this very situation. The passage of such an act will not mean any expense to the state, but with the people of this county. in common with others paying two additional national taxes, facing state and county taxes in large amounts already, and city and town taxes ever on the increase, it is time that they should be given due consid- oration.
 The proposed act deserves only op- position apd defeat.

WE'LL MEANT ACTION.

Just how much Consideration will be given to the action by the adnlinistra- ton. coming as it does from one of the large ports Of the country no small weight should attach to the opinion of the Boston Chamber of Commerce. claimed to be the largest business or eanization in the world when it comes out in opposition to the proposed Alex ander ship purchase bill. It looks upon government ownership as q doubtful experiment and believes that the bill would prove the greatest detrinaef1t to the building Up Of a, merchant marine and would involve a large expenditure of money against the advice OF the best expert opinion.
 It doesn't require any great search 10 disclose the fact that the bill is not backed by any large part of the nation. There are features therein which are going to prove boomeranrs If the mea sure should become law and the tinle to prevent such harmful pro- visions is now.
 The opposition of the Boston organ i2ation is not political. It is the re- suit of a study of the act and 8. care fuI consideration of the assured con- sequences and t is the same sensible stand as has been taken by other or 2anizati0ns Cr like character throughout the country. The danger spots in the Alexander bill cannot be overlooked and congress will do well 10 give heed U the advice given if it has not already studied it out for it. self. It is well Taant action,

 It>is the tissue building, curative ele- ments of the cod's livers, aided by the blood making strengthening properties of tonic iron contained in Vinol, that makes it so successful in building up strength for old people, delicate chil- dren and for all rundown conditions.

PICKLE MEXICO,

Mexico has another temporary pres i0ent. GaIza, chosen by the peace con- ference which selected Gutierrez, as- surTles the duties with the same con- f1dence that has characterized his pred ecessors, but there is every reason to believe that he will find all his joy in the anticipation rather than the realization. Upon just what he bases any hope he may have that he will be able to administer the office to the satisfa ction of all concerned is difficult to see. The fact is that the provision al president Of Mexico must depend, for the holding Of his position, upon keeping in the good graces of the fac tional leaders, and from the expert ences Of the others it Is next to the impossible.
 That republic to the south Is get ting deeper and deeper into a r.svolu tionary snaTl. Conditions were bad enough before tfpe constitutionalists endeavored to straighten them out and set in motion some needed reforms, but instead iof getting better they have grown worse. Failure to agree split that faction and after much delay during which various other men were given d tryout, the combination of P4ia ahd DdPaIaC eslaoiISHeo TuCIeIfeH at the head of the nation. He was forced to fee as a, matter Of personal safety for failing to satisfy the Zapata followers. Whether GarZa. a Villa. man, can do any better will ire quick iy learned. For Mexico the outlook is. however, decidedly gloomy. It needs something it hasn't got when the lack of unity is so apparent. and under the present drift iifs prospects of inn proved conditions are understandable.

A WoMAN's WIT

It was on a, bright morning in De- eenber that Mrs. Garland decided to send her little boy to the sidewalk to get the fresh air. She put on his over coat and his toque and his GloVes and took him out on to the stoop. Then, giving him & kiss, she told him to run about for awhile. Jimmie was six years old. and his mother, who was a self-re1iant woman. had discharged his nurse.
 Jimmie did =loa ret urn, and his moth CT went out to look. for him He was not on th.s stoop or on the sidewalk Indeed, he was not in sight His rnoti- CT walked f1urriedly ID and down the street expecting every moment to catch sight of him, but she did not. Finally she asked sc1ne children play ing near by, and they told her that they had seen a little boy-describ4ng Jiranaie-so off with g. man.
 Then Mrs. Garland knew that her boy had been Kidnapped. By a. strong effort of tho will sine kept her head and questioned the children closely as to the appearance of the man. They described a. small poorly dressed per- son, his trousers patched and his el- bows in rags. His hair was what they called brown. This is all they could remember.
 Mrs. Garland, though in agony about her boy being an unusually self con- tained woman, very soon brought her self into condition to think what she should 6o. When a. child Is kidnapped 1t is usually for money. The parent is informed of the fact and negotiations opened for payment. Mrs. Garland. who was g. widow. made up her mind to await the kidnapper's demand be- fore taking any action.
 And yet one can never be certain when a child has disa ppeared that he will ever be heard from. There arc many disappearauces that remain for ever mysteries. It is therefore the more remarkable that this mother should have contained herself and acted in a way that would afford the ting her boy safely back. She req soned that if the boy's loss were pup- lisi1ed in the newspapers the iddnarpsr would read 1t and taking fright, might , remove her boy to Q distance. If no notice were taken of the matter he would write.
 On the third day after the 1ddnap- ping the postman handed in a better which as scpn as Mrs. Garland Ioofoed at it she knew was tine one Expected. It was addressed simply to the street and number and written in English as an Italian would write English. The llidnapper demanded $50e0 for the return of the child, An Italian name was signed the writer stating that a reply could be sent to the general de- livery at the pest office but whoever called for it would have nothing to do with the case.
 Mrs. Garland determined if poxsi ble, to win the confidence of the Kid l. napper. So she replied that her only wish was to recover her child. She could raise but $S009, which sfse would be glad to give If the person would instruct her where to make the de- livery. She also said that she had moi

reported her loss to the police and had no intention of doing so. She pre- ferTed to pay and recover her boy.
 The llidnapper wrote that he WouIu accept the S3000. On a certain avenue between two streets was a vacant lot At or Tsser Il o'clock Cn a certain night Mrs. Garland was to leave the money in q cracker box she would hnd in a corner farthest from the street Within two days after the receipt Of the money the boy would be placed on the street near his home. Mrs. Gar land wrote back that the conditions were accepted, except that her boy was to be returned within twelve hours after the depositing Of the funds. A letter came agreeing to this Stipuia- ton.
 Now, on this last letter Mrs. Gar land noticed a stamp that had eVtdeTt- ly been placed on another envelope and removed. The stamp was soHed, in- hands had ehdeavored to mako 1t stick Mrs. Garland took up g, mag nifyfng glass and discovered thumb marks.
 Thus far no notice Of the kidnap- ping had appeared in any nswSpaper, Garfand's loss. On the appointed night sine went to the vacant lot and de- posfted bills to the amount Of S3O00. The next morning at dawn there vas a Sn2rp ring at the dOOroeu. t1IS Garland ran downstairs and opened the door, and there stood Jimmie. He said he had been left there by a girl
 Having got her child back safe and well, Mrs. Garland went to the office of the police and informed them of the case. stating that sine had obtained from United States treasury officers S5ooo in captured counterfeit $1o and s2o bills. Since they had been paid to an ignorant Italian he would not like ly know that they were counterfeit and he might be caught trying to pass them. Instructions bearing on the case were sent out, and girl was spotted offering one Of the bills. She was fol- lowed to a sQualid room in a, tenement buildisTS,' and every one found there was arrested. All but a, few of the counterfeit bills were taken, and d man arrested was found to be the kidnaP- Der. The children who had seen him take Jimmie away were not able to state positively that he was the person they had seen committing the act, but his thumb marks corresponded with those on the stamp Of the letter sent Mrs. Garland, and he received @. long prison terni.-Boston Record

measured in terms of labor: and a realization that every man and woman must make his or her own living and contribute to the welfare of the com uaunity, information will be furnished to school boards throughout the coun- try bearing upon the progress that has been and is being made in such undertakings.
 Experiments have already shown that with proper direction an average child can produce in an eighth of an acre of land from s60 to $f06 worth of vegetables and at the same time ac- quire both theoretical and practical ideas upon gardening that will prove of positive value throughout his life. Such also affords a method of self help for more schooling, which is highly desirable since education for life and citizenship cannot be obtain e3 before the age of fourteen.

Sachem Street Work.

Mir. Editor: In the spring Of 1914 an appropriation was made by the city of Norwich to nlacadamize Sachen street from UnCas street to OneCo street. Previous to this action, the property owners on that part of the street were ordered to repair their sidewalks, which they did. But after the appro- priation yfas made we were ordered to lay new cement sidewalks. To some of us this meant an expenditure of money which we could hardly afford, but which we did gladly for the sake of having sidewalks that would be in keeping with our new street.
 We were told that the work on the street could not be begun until the sidewalks were all laid. so We laid ouF new walks immediately in order that the work on the street might be start ed. But it was not. and as yet We see no signs Of its ever being started. Is laid out over $i,00o for new sidewalks, with the promise that the city would immediately supply Us with a new street. Does such a proceeding raise the standard of our city? Ought it not to be investigated? We would like to have our street commissioner come up and See what a condition the street is in. especially during these rainy days. But We advise him to come afoot and walk on our new sidewalks rather than run the grave risk of getting stuck up to the hubs in Sachem street mud, through which all automobile owners on this part of the street are obliged to take their cars whenever they wish to go out.

WHEAT AND FLOUR.

The big advance in the price of wheat and flour naturally directs at tentior to the situation which has de- veioped here concerning these staple articles. Despite the very large crop of wheat for the past year the de- n1ands from abroad have been such as to indicate great threads into what under ordinary circumstances would have been considered an unwieldy suP- plus.
 According to the estimate Of the crop this country had for export at least ts0.009.2e0 more bushels of wheat than it dis last year. IL was there fore bounti&ul!y 1ozst1ea after by ma ture as tf in preparation for the in creased denan6. For oue-haif of the wheat year or ttA last halP cf 1914 this country exported wheat to the amount Of 217- 9,o39 I.,,lIsi2eIs. Such is a. large amount h12t 1t ;s c2ly about fifty million hush;5.s in excess of the same period in ttia previous year and should the call for American wheat continue at that Ia for the remain de- Of the wt5at year it would not then carry off the available suuoluH or endanger the amount available for home consumption.
 That advantage has been taken of the situation to push up and profit from the high price of wheat is per- haps the natural result of the prevail ing conditions but with a surEpIy on hand sufficient to meet the probable needs no shortage can justly De fear ed. This fact IS in & large degree responsible for the belief that there ts not the slightest reliability of & wheat erlRoargo. In it's hope to handle the situation through investigation the government deserves to succeed, but its success will be measured in 9 large degree by the influence 1t has in re- storing the old price on a bag oP f7c1,r
