ADMITTING CASTRO.

After having been subjected to a de- lay which could not have been other wise than annoying, former President Castro Of the Venezuelan republic and bis wife have been admitted to this pountry to stay as long as they like. t was not, however, until an appeal bad been taken from the decision of khe special board of immigration of icials and the unfavorable action of that body overrUled by the secretary of labor that entrance to this country was permitted and under the circum- stances there is little ground for sur prise that he should feel disturbed.
 When Castro attempted to come into his country three years ago he met with similar opposition. He was held It Ellis island and considered an un- desirable because of the trouble he had been creating in his own country md the fear that his visit to the United States was simplyif for the pur- pose of setting in motion more trou- ble for his owp country. He fought he opposition which he encountered md after taking the matter to the courts he was permitted to come in.
 Since that time it has not been re 1orded that he has been engagedI in new operations which would be suffl= dent to deny him admission, and as lar as known he was not confronted with any such claims upon the part of 9le immigration board when he ar lived from Trinidad to spend a short lime here before leaving for Porto Rico. With no new stains upon his Eharacter there wasa reason to sup bose that the previous decision was alfacient to- cover. his case now as it vas when given, however much it hayshavee seemed4a the time. as if551is fonduct, eIsewhere4had been enough ito lxclude him. from this country, and his appears to be the ground upon which the secretary of labor sets
 side the ruling of those before whom Eastro appeared on his% second visit ibis country. -.

Careless Use of
 Soap Spells the Hair

Soap should be used very carefully, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alknn. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it.
 The best thing for steady use is just ordinary mulsif1ed cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), and is better than the most expensive soap or any thing else you can use.
 One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten' the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy father, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You can get mulsif1ed cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and a few ounces will supply every mem Der of the family for months.

HE CHILD LABOR BILL.

If the majority party leaders in con- gress have their way there will be no action taken upon the child labor bill at this session. It is intended to sidetrack it as effectively at the pres ent time as it was done on its previous appearance. That there has been op- position to it by southern senators has been long understood. That has cropped out at every corner. It has long been manifested from the rest which has been given to the matter that it would be delayed until the hustle and hustle of the closing days when it is an easy matter not only to overlook such @ bill, accidentally or Intentionally but to so plan that it will go into the discard.
 President Wilson by his visit to the capitol and his conference with the senate leaders makes it certain that he is not only opposed to such a plan, but that he insists that it shall be abandoned. Like others he knows what it means when the caucus of the democrats placed it in the list of those bills which are to be considered only if time remains after other measures regarded as more urgent have been disposed of.
 It is quite evident that the pork barrel bills are in the more urgent classification as made by the demo- crats They have taken no chances of overlooking these and they have shown no disposition to put them off until the December session. In fact no delay could be tolerated in a mat ter of that kind which might just as well have been postponed without do- ing any harm.
 President Wilson considers the merit of the bill and the political ex- pediency which is involved in it's pass age. He has held the whip over the party OL many occasions of like char acter, but it remains to be seen whether the southern senators can be brought into line on this matter which particularly involves their part of the country, and a matter which is so i'm portant to humanity.

RuR.Ai- CREDITS,

In attaching his signature tQ the rural credits bill, President Wilson through the brief address which he made on the occasion, indicates his entire satisfaction over the fact that this measure has been fovorablys acted upon. He does even more for in his address he disclosed his elation, and 1t is, an important piece of legislation, which has been in the works for a long time.
 More attention was given to the presidents approval of the bill than is usual, but 1t is not surprising for, as the Philadelphia Ledger says: "It cer- tainly marks one of the signal achieve ments of his administration that this legislation has been brought to frui- tion during his term, and it would be useless to point out that division of sentiment with respect to the meas ure has not been along political lines of cleavage. Republicans have been as ardent advocates of the engrafting upon American law of some form of assisted rural credits as have the dem ocrats, and the success of the present effort should be regarded as the cunu- lative result of an agitation extending over many years and confined to no one party"
 The necessity of giving encourage ment to the agricultural sections of the country long since recognized re- suited in the extensive investigation of the methods employed in Europe of meeting just such problems. Ambas- sador Herrick while in France devoted much time to the study of the Organi- cations perfected in that country for obtaining the relief sought in the United States. The bill as passed does not conform to any one particular view in regard to bettering rural con ditions, but is rather a composite piece of legislation to which many have contributed. That it is perfect no one could claim. Whatever defects there are will be revealed by putting it into effect and that will furnish a basis for future changes. The real import ance lies, however, in the fact that a start is to be made.

 T always want to lend a hand if possible, so I ran in to see Mrs Bar kle early the next morning. She was all fixed up ready to go somewhere and smiled at me so condescendingly couldn't stand it, knowing what I did. So l plunged firmly.

AMBASSADOR TO TURKEY.

It has been some time now since this country had diplomatic representa- tive in Turkey. It was hinted when Ambassador Norgenthau left Constan- tinOple to return to America that he would not go back, so that when his resignation from his post came it was no surprise inasmuCh as he wished to be where he could take an active part in the political campaign of the presi- dent.
 But the need of having the vacancy filled was important. Conditions in Turkey were such at the time and they continue to be of such a character that a change was hardly advisable, but certainly it called for the filling of the vacancy as soon as possible. Not a little responsibility was placed upon the United States ambassador when Turkey entered the war since the af- fairs of several other nations were placed in his hands. There was also the Armenian trouble. and more re- gently there has developed the utter disregard for the seal of the United States consular general in Beirut.
 Amba ssadOr Norgenthau rendered commendable service during the time that he held the office. He accom- pished as much probably as anyone could have in that position under the circumstances and his retirement marked the departure from that am bassadorship of a man who was par ttcuIarly close to conditions which had been brought on by the war in that part of the world
 The reported appointment of Abram l. Elkus of New York for that posi- ton, it being understood that he was recommended by AIr. Morgenthau be- cause of his qualifications for the of fee and his party allegiance indicates that he is acceptable to Turkey and if he proves as efficient as his pre- decessor and sponsor there are req sons for believing that the cOuntry's interests will be well served in that quarter, though at the present time the task before him cannot be looked upon as any sinecure

 There are more AnlaSicans scattered among Canadian 6attalions than most people realize. Some of these were living in Canada when the war began; some crossed the border and enlisted for the sake of being in a scrap" some felt it a duty to strike a blow for the Allies.

Besides, the recruit sometimes had a bad memory on that score himself. 'FWhat part of Canada are you from?" a British of ficer asked @ Canadian private.

 What part of the West?"

 After a man has been wounded the truth is more likely to come out. After an examination of a bad jaw fracture the surgeon said to one wounded American:
 You've a bad smash, but we shall pull you through and fix you up as good as new"
 Are you giving it to me straight? ?' was the feeble question.
 Yes, you can depend on it."
 Well if that's the dope and no kid ding I wish you'd write to my mother out in Ohio and tell her"
 Those who were looking for a scrap frankly admit they have had it. No one questions how they stood up to 1t along with their Canadian comrades.
 Nor are they all privates. Three of ftcers who were killed in the retal1ing of Observatory Hill were Americans.

LETTERS TO TIE EDITOR
A Public inconvenience.


 Mir. Editor: There appeared in this mornings issue of The Bulletin a let ter upon the traffic ordinance evident Iy written by some politician who took part in making the law or some friend of his. If there ever was a law which by it's enforcement was an imposition on the business public of this city, this is certainly one. That fact ap- peared to the previous council who made the law and then saw it not to enforce it showing that they had at least some good sense and judgment It will pay no body of men to assume an arbitrary attitude in a matter of so much importance to the general public, and if these same officials doubt it, let them sit tight and await the result. Since this new ordinance went into effect the City of Norwich would remind one very much of Vol untown I should say we have no special ambition to progress in that di- rection. Some of our business organ izatiOns which seem to be such 9 great success CD in settling all civic ques- tiOns seem to be especially drOWsy at the present time now that there is something of real interest to the cit izens which they may discuss and to the advantage of every one. Maybe they are trying to settle the European War and that is the reason nothing has been done. How long more have we got to stand for this drastic pub lie inconvenience?

The report from Bridgeport that the high wave of industrial activity is receding, and that things are get ting on a normal basis again, is not surprising though earlier than might have been expected. It is to be hoped that it will not go to low tide for Q long time, and but gradually. Never theless, on some accounts it will be welcome. It will ease up the con- gested rent and boarding condi- tions before cold weather comes and adds suffering and danger to dis comfort. It will relieve the labor sit uatiOn a little and not make it so hard to get a man or a woman to do something who is not already en- gagged at high pay at something else. It isn't likely that the situation will get so far yet awhile that the other side of the question, that is the lack of work, and the reduction of wages, will need to he considered.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

Capt. Cupid" Black denies that he advised against members of the foot ball squad joi.2:ng the Yale batteries; that his sentiments run in the other direction. The situation would be made much clearer if Captain Black would specifically deny that he told his players that there was little like Iihood of Yale men being needed in the threatened war, and that, therefore, it would be better for them to keep the team in mind. That he said some thing to that or a similar effect is the understanding of the Yale soldiers and some of the graduate athletic ad- visers. His denial yesterday would have been more impressive had it been entered some days ago. The most con- vincing reply he can give now is to hurry to the camp where the boys are and enlist.
