TO FILL A HOT WATER BAG.

What a great comfort the hot water bag is for the little pains and aches that we all have once in a while. How foolish to deceive ourselves, however, that it is doing good, vtlen it is half filled with air. We all know that it is the heat that does the work. Air is a nonconductor of heat and cold and therefore we must get the air out of the bag.
 Fill the bag with water, using judgment as to the amount, being sure not to have too much if the bag is to be used on a tender spot. Twist the top of the bag, pressing gently to allow tIle air to escape and quick ly screw on the cap while holding the bag in this way. Vigorously shake the bag, holding it by the bottom, to make sure none of the hot water will leak out.
 Now we must test the bag to make sure it will not burn; as it is noth- ing less than a tragedy to blister a patient with a hot water bag. A blis- ter made in this way is very bad 1 to heal and almost always leaves a very ugly red scar, and sometimes renders useless the muscles burned Place the bag against your own cheek or the back of the hand to as certain whether or not the bag is at 1 the right temperature.

CLEAN uP WEEK.

This is the week which has been set aside for the annual clean up of the city. It should not only be par ticipated in by city departments but every individual should contribute his part to it. It will be the first time if there is not a chance for practically everyone to enter into the movement with such determination that a week hence it will be possible for the citi- zens to notice the results without be- ing obliged to have them pointed out.
 The city clean up is as greatly needed as the annual house cleaning. There are places which have been all lowed to become unsightly by the dumping of refuse material, by the scattering of papers and tin cans, by permitting back and front yards to set into untidy condition. There are side streets and aIleyways which are not only eyesores but breeding places for disease. In most instances it will require but short time to bring about a decided improvement.
 There will be those who will set a good example by starting in bright and early this morning to do what they can in this direction. and the lesson which is thus set should be carefully followed. It might be we'll if this undertaking became competi- tive affair. with the residents of the neighborhoods doing their utmost to outdistance those who live nearby in getting such property as they are re- sponsible for cleared of the debris and kept clean, for everything of the kind means a most valuable contribution to the appearance of the city.
 There should not only be an effort made to clean up but influence and good example should be used at all times to prevent the nttering of the streets. We'll kept streets are a credit to any community and there is an in- dividual responsibility which should be exerted at all times to this end There is no reason why the clean LII movement should not attain its greatest success this very week.

TIE NATIONAL GUARD.

There may have been too much un- certainty expressed relative to the strength and value of the national guard in certain states of the union, in case of trouble, but it appears to find support in the revelations which have come to light as the result of calling out the militia in the states of New Mexico and Arizona It is nearly two weeks ago that the call was issued for the state, troops to mo- bilize for the purpose of doing patrol duty along the border. Following the Mexican raids there was certainly reason enough for sentiment in those states to be at such a pitch that there would be a ready response. It has not been made, however, and from reports the trouble lies in the fact that the militia companies are in poor shape, so much so that they would be of little use if the remnants were got ten together for guard duty
 This is a condition which would un- dou'btedly be encountered in other states should a similar summons be issued to the existing militia organi- zations. It shows a lack of prepared ness, which of course does not charac. terize all the states, but many more than those on the Mexican border are no better off.
 With such conditions revealed, it i. shown that there is much that car be done in the way of federaIizing the guard. Since the Dick bill was passed the militia has been put on a differen basis in many states. The improve. ment was needed and it should hay, met with better response from certain sections of the country, but such { test as has been made shows the Iacl of fitness and discIoses no smal amount of work ahead in putting in to effect the provisions of the nev 1 liberalization plan which bids fair tt be adopted. Unless the state niIiti; is going to be of some use it rnigh as well not exist.

 liam III in turn visited Dublin with armed forces.
 Another Fitzgerald loomed up as a factor in Irish unrest about the time of the French Revolution. He was Lord Edward Fitzgerald, leader of the United Irishmen, who had received ing under Lord Rawdon in the Revo- lutionary War. Lord Edward was one of the most picturesque Irish lead CTS of the 18th century and his beaJlti- full wife, the famous Pamela, was an equally appealing figure in the revo- lution of 179S, during which Lord Ed- ward was captured and thrown into prison. where he died of wounds re- ceiYed in the struggle with the officers who arrested him while in bed.
 "A greatly loved Irish patriot and orator. Robert Emmet, headed the revolution of 1903. Emmet, while try ing to make his escape after an a.bor- tive attempt to seize Dublin Castle, was apprehended as he was saying farewell to Judge Curran's daughter, to whome he was devoted. His speech delivered on the scaffold the following day is one of the best-known examples of impasSioned Irish oratory. William Smith O'Brien, from the South of Ire- land, was the leader of the rebellion of 1s4s, in which Dublin took little part. The Fenian Society's activities ica, kept the capital city in turmoil | for many weeks.

THE BRITISH. BLOCKADE.

According to the statement made by Lord Robert Cecil, it is not the inten-- ton of the British government to be influenced in any way by the recent action of Germany in modifying its submarine warfare. Such action upon the part of the imperial government was taken, not because it was seri- ously embarrassing Great Britain and it's allies, but because it was a gross violation of international law and the rights of neutrals and humanity were being frightfully transgressed.
 Lord Cecil's statement was made in reply to the proposition put forward by the German foreign minister, won Jagow that inasmuch as Germany had abandoned its illegal methods that Great Britain should end its blockade. As matter of fact Ger many has not given up submarine warfare, though it has agreed to end the unlawful features of it. It. was not asked to go that far, and only a refusal could have been expected if it had been, since it has a perfect right to use its underwater boats in le- gitimate manner and secure all the advantage from it that can be ob- tained.
 On the other hand Great Britain has a right to set up a blockade and maintain it. That it's enemy is anxious that it should be abandoned Is pretty good evidence that 1t has been and is@ effective, and that the ending of it would be heartily well comed by the central powers.
 Germany made a grave mistaken when it included in its note the pro- vision that this country should do its utmost to call off the blockade in re- turn for Germany's action regarding submarines. 1t was a kind of bar tering which this country. could moi become party to, though it recog- nizes that the treatment of neutral commerce and the seizure of the nails is not in accordance with a proper interpretation of blockade law

THE WAR PRIMER By National Geographic Society

5ubIin-"The revolt in Dublin re- calls many stormy episodes in the history of the Irish capital on the shores of the Irish Sea, 334 miles northeast of London and less than seventy miles from Holyrood, the near est English port. Even it's legendary history, going back to the third cen tury of the Christian era, is filled with stories of conflict, one of the earliest being narrative of the defeat of the people of the surrounding province by the inhabitants of the town in 291.
 One of the most tragic events of Dublin's early history is an echo of this hatred of the people of the coun- try districts for those of the city. The occurrence is commemorated in Irish chronicles as the Black Monday of 1909. It was during the Easter holi- ing the time of the present revolt, that the Irish of the surrounding noun tainS rushed down into the valley of the Iiffey River, on whose banks Dub lin is situated, and, while the inhabi
 tants were celebrating the religious holiday. 500 cf their number were kill ed. The place Of the massacre is still known as Bloody Fields, and for many years, in order to keep alive the sense of outrage against the hill peo-
 of Black Monday would march to the
 scene of the massacre, bearing ban
 ners inscribed with the legend, "A ter-
 TOT to the Native Irish
 Even in the early days the vigor
 with which the people of Dublin waged
 their internecine strifes did not les sen the impetuosity with which they entered upon any conflict with for eign invader. They tore down their churches to secure stones for their | walls when preparing for the defense l of their city against Edward Bruce in 1915, and when the Irish governor, | who had yielded to the enemy; fell l into the hands of the defenders, he was brought to Dublin and starved to 1 death.
 "One of the most spectacular out breaks of the sixteenth century was l that led by Stlken Thomas (Sir Thom- l as Fitzgerald) daring young noble man who, upon hearing that his father 1 had been beheaded in the tower o1 | London, raised a large army and marched to the gates of Dublin, where i citizens. Shortly afterward, however when he endeavored to leave the city he found the gates locked. He made his escape, carrying with him some oi l the children of the city, and with these as hostages he managed to secure the release of all of his followers. Sub sequently t5is rebellion was quelleC and the Sleaders were executed at Ty- l burn in 1536.
 "Dt was more than a hundred year. after the death of Sir Thomas that conspiracy to seize Dublin castle wal revealed by Owen Connolly on the da1 before the attempt was to have beer
 made. This was during the rebellion
 of 1641, and it was Connolly's infor
 nation which saved Dublin for tn

NEW FACE WELLS.

Loose, towering veils are worn this spring. Some are made circular, while others are draped. The circular veil, with round opening in the center which fits over the crown of the hat is will liked. The lacey designs with woven scroll patterns are especially attractive. Some of these veils are gathered on to an elastic band, allow ing it to be adjusted over the crown of the hat. Some hang in straight lines to the shoulders, while others are fin ished with ruche or band. which may be caught around the throat
 There is a marked tendency toward the use of colored wells. The extensive use of color in millinery affords the we'll dresse woman an opportunity to wear a veil to match the color of her hat. Brown, navy blue, taupe and plum or wistaria are all seen in colors which match perfectly those shown in straws and silks. All black and black and white veils are smart.

Lovely georgette crepes have baskets of flowers scattered over the surface. A fine taffeta broche, which combines crispness and softness in with a little flower which never grew on land or sea.
 Stripes are very fashionable and are cleverly used. patterned Things are used in coats and suits. Delicate organdy embroideries are used in a number of dainty ways; many are lightly touched in color, especially old blue and delicate rose. Embroidered nets touched in color and used for en- tire frecks as well as for trimmings.

LINGERIE DRESSES.


 White net is being used for lingerie dresses this season. The washable white net is selected, and when the pretty frock is soiled it may be sent to the laundry along with white dimity and lawn costumes. These white net dresses are rather simply made, with ruffled skirts, or full, gathered skirts tucked in groups. Shirrings are lovely in net, but they do not launder very satisfactorily. Neither do net plait- ings. So it is best to use narrow white lace or frilled footing as a trimming on bodice and sleeves.
 Snap fasteners close such a frock invisibly, and usually there is a slip of accordion plaited daphne silk or of pussy willow taffeta to go under meath. Such a frook may be worn at very informal afternoon affair, or with handsome sash, tinted pussy will low lining ard dainty slippers-at a formal evening affair in summer.

PROPER ENFORCEMENT oF THE
 LAW.

LAW.
 New attention has been directed to the need of enforcing the street regu- lations regarding motor vehicles in New Haven by the recent statement of the coroner of that county. As might be expected it followed the number of accidents and fatalities which occurred in and about that city, and it is with interest that 1t is noted that there is determined coopera- ton manifested on the part of the authorities and the courts to bring about a change in the conditions and establish greater respect for the law.
 It is the safety of the public that is at stake This was the reason for the laws and regulations being en- acted and that is good and sufficient cause for seeing that they are prop erly observed. New Haven is there fore, as the result of new police or- ders. experiencing number of ar- rests among auto drivers, who are found disregarding the law. who are inclined to take chances because they think they can get away with such conduct and who display a careless ness or recklessness which cannot be countenanced.
 There is need for all the protection that is furnished by the law and when disrespect is encountered, and contin- ues to be repeated after good and sufficient warning, it is time to act. This is what New York judge has done in sentencing driver to three years in a penitentiary for the death of a woman, after he had been al- lowed to pay fines for previous vio- lations. It is the kind of action which is needed in Philadelphia where AS deaths from autos have occurred since the first of the year, and it is the right step to take in every other community if just such fatalities are going to be prevented.
 l Let it be understood that no greater privileges are accorded to the opera 1 tors of motor vehicles than to any other user of the highways and that protection to which the people are en- | titled will be secured, but it will not be obtained through 1axity in the en. l forcement of the laws.
