CONNECTICUT DEFINED.
Gets Its Title From Corruption of Two
 Words, Connect" and "Ticket"
(By George Fitch.)

Connecticut is a narrow strip of land along Long Island Sound which is used as a right of way by several lines of railroad and automobile speedWays leading into New York city, in fact, and it's name is a corruption of the two words "CUnnect' and Ticket" the two principal topics of conversation among a large majoe- ity of the citizens.
 Connecticut is a pleasant state filled with pleasant towns which are any where from thirty minutes 10 150 years away from New York It's pop alation in the day time is about 5O0.- . 900, but this swells to over a million at night, providing everyone catches the last train home. Owing to the fact that Broadway is within easy walking distance. almost all the big theatrical managers try their new plays on Connecticut audiences. If the state ever becomes unpopular it will be because of the plays which she did not discourage.
 The chief products Of Connecticut are firearms pocket knives and colleee graduates. Connecticut is one of tIse most peaceablo states in the union never having been known to turn rascal out. but it furnishes the weap- ons by means of which inc uuarreIs of the whole country are carried op No western or southern quarrel is com sidered a success unless it is eked out by a nicklc- plated underta kcrs friend from Connecticut.
 Connecticut is chiefly famous as 4xn seat of Yale university a magniffcent institution of learning which is onlv
 
 years. Yale is situated at New TTa,,or except after football victory. when it over1oWs into three states. If com tains more than 2,5O0 students o,n,, one of whom believes that tho rost as the country has been settled in ordo. to furnish an admiring audience Fo- his university, New York Is fu1 os captains of finance by having a son o,, tho Yale football team.

VucIa sam: HOmemaker!
(New Haven Union.D

Despite the ever increasing COmpll- cations of the foreign situatiO U-boat crisis. Mexican haclIlings, trust lnVes- tigations, neutrality plots and the mil lion and one other things occupying his attention, your Uncle Samuel IS find time to actively interest him self in the problem of creating two homes where before there was only one. And when that can't be done, he devOtes the energies of half dozen of his departments to making that home a better place in which to live.
 The Interior, Treasury, Labor and Commerce Departments, their act1vl- ties divided among many smaller de- partments arc working in behalf of homemaking. Some idea of the extent of the work may be obtained from the statement that the Reclamation de partment of the Interior department alone has organized more than 200 clubs to study the home problem. The
 Homemalling in the territories and dependencieS of the United States is going on steadily. In Alaska, every teacher is social worker. Not only do they drill into their charges the usual
 
 spect homes for sanitary conditions Garbage removal is insisted upon, and the natives are urged to discard the hut of their forbears and build the neat American cottage.
 The Yankee "SchOol marmS" also are carrying into the Frozen North the standard of Vegetarianism. Not many years ago the natives of Alaska subsisted entirely on meat and fish. Vegetables were unknown, or at least considered only fit for animals and birds. Now, thanks to the American school teachers, vegetables form regular part of the natives diet.
 To all practical purposes, the same work is going on in Porto Rico and in the Philippines. In the latter place, the bureau of education has cooper ated with the Department of AgriCul- tllrc and has been instrumental in the csta blShment and supervision of thousands of home gardens

for good reading will be more than spasmodic. Education is the only thing likely to create a lasting desire for the best in literature It is cur ious and sad fact that educated men nearly always have written so that only educated men could read them. The great thinkers have always de-
 lighted to presume vast sympathy and comprehension on the part of the reader. They have a hesitancy about being explicit, preferring to leave much unSaid. Perhaps they be-
 heved that persons unable to find their meaning would be unable to un
 derStand it. But that assumption IS somewhat cruel. There are many good and earnest people who are not pro- found thinkers, not students. They could derive much help from the wis dom of the great writers, if they could only get at it.! Would 1t not be noble task for some scholar to make slmplitied versions of the writ inss Of the great masters of thought; to translate allusions and yelled mean ings into plain language? Occasionally such thing has been attempted, but not on a comprehensive scale.

BiQ Business Boom M Dual Monarchy Before War

Washington, D.. C., Feb. 23.--"JuSt what Austria Hungary's economic out look was before the war, the people of Austria-IIuneary did not know them selves begins a bulletin just given out by the National CieOgra phic sOCie- ty, which gives a brief outline of bus mess conditions in the dual monarchy before the August oG 1914. "Before the outbreak of hostilities. the empire was undoubtedly doing comfortably we'll, though it possessed few places and fewer industries which knew ought of such business enterprise and success as exemplified in the United States Germany, and England More over, the governments were heavily in deht, and the people had deeply committed themselves to investments in futures.
 "PolitiCally and industrially, though outnumbered by the other races in the empire, the German Austrians domin- ated the situation. They stood solidly together, W While the other peoples were divided into many factions The Ger man Austrians were in control at Vi- enna and Venna, more truly than Der lin, was the center of an empire. Dur ing recent years filled with an ardent Sp1TlI or nallOndllSm, Inc MagNarS or Hungary, inc Czechs of Bohemia, and the Poles of Galicia have strivcn to compose all their differences in solid racial organization
 For many years past, AustrO- Hun garlan finances have been merrily ad- ministered in terms of future hope. Railroads have been laid everywhere, fine roads and bridges have been con- structed, all branches of the govern ment have been strengthened, and a powerful army created at great eX- pense. Students of finance, who have studied Austrian budgets and Austrian enterprise, have passed the verdict that the dual monarchy was in dan gerous financial condition that an individual in such a condition would have been forced into bankruptcy long ago.
 However, Austria-Hungary is the largest country in Europe with the ex- ception of Russia, having a territory of 260,000 square miles or 50, ,00O square miles more than Germany. Further more, this land is rich in fertile agri- cultural and pasture acres, in vast forest and mineral resources, and in an intelligent, industrious population.

Writer Gives "UnprejudiCed Version of Present Difficulty in the
 Peoples Church.

What has created the diSSatisfac- tion with the pastor of the Peoples church? There has bcCn mo state ment made in the press that did jus tice to either pastor or people. May l venture one more, ] hope, unpreju- diced version of the present difficulty. There can be no question of the up- rightness or good intentions of the pastor or of those who are opposed to his retention. Both think that they are right, but both can not see from the same standpoint.
 The first real difference between pastor Anderson and members of his official board was over matters con corning the carrying on of our mis- sionary work in Africa through the Gospel Missionary society of which the Peoples church is the head and moving factor. From it's organiZa- tion this had been connected, as a subordinate society, with the African
 Inland Mission," with headquarters in
 Philadelphia. Our work on the mis-
 sion field was separate, but under the general supervision of the philadcl- phia society. l need not enter into , details. The clash came over the de
 mand of the A. l. M. that our sO- | cicty give up all supervision of the missionary work on the field in Africa turn over the title of all mission prop erty to that society and confine our selves to the raising of money for work in Africa which was hereafter
 to be known only as A. l. Nj. work
 We could do that or sever our con nection with the larger society The pastor was in favor of giving over the work in the field entirely to the Philadelphia society. The executive board of the c. M. $. thought diff

Feeding the World.
Waterbury Democrat.

A report by the department of commerce on a single months exports of American foodstuffs shows what America is doing to feed the world during the tremendous foreign crisis. During December last our exports of wheat amounted to 12,619,927 bushels worth $15, ,221; of flour to 1,695:- 5S3 barrels, worth $9,195, 552; Of bacon, to 55, 405,666 pounds, worth $76S6,976; of lard to 46, 3C9 pounds, worth 4,S63, POT; of ham, to 21,731,527 pounds worth $3, 3, l3"; of fresh beef, to 27,296,6 ,68S pounds worth S3,294,111; of pickled pork 70 13,5O6,794 pounds, worth Sl,4 9,9z" : of corn to 3,591,25S pounds, worth $1,S32,346. The figures for month are pretty large. Take them for tho calendar year ending December 3( last, and you fairly gasp. For wheat the years totals are 205, ,333,799 bu- shels which brought $2S1, ,815, ,044; for bacon, 52O,S31, 464 pounds which net ted S69,305,5 ,517; for lard, 45O,O9S,- 52S pounds which sold for $48,lO7,- O72; fresh beef, 2,O03, 348 pounds which sold for s33, 9S9; flour, 75,- 3SO,69S barrels, which brought the enormous sum of $94, ,720.

tions and organizations of women of favor of child labor legislation, while the poverty of argument on the other side was well typified by the telegram from the southern textile association, dated at Charlotte, N. c. These en- plOyerS of child labor asked why the national child labor committee, if the conditions in southern factories were as bad as they had been painted, had never spent any money to relieve the suffering and place the children in school.
 An analysis of the strong vote by which the house a second time has passed the Keating- Owen bill, to put a ban on interstate commerce in the products of child labor, discloses that except for the Carolinas, the southern states delegations are in favor of the legislation. Eight states voted solid ly for the bill, four had a majority for it and only the Carolinas were solidly against it. If Carolina public opinion be judged by the expressions at AsheVille from representative or ganizations and people, it can evident ly be asserted that the south is ready for an end of the business of rObbing children of their childhood in the in terest of profits. But this is not say ing-mores the pity-that the fac controlled from the north, by the way are yet ready. The handwriting on the wall, however, is unmista kable.

plications are coming in day after day, that, if anything, business is pick ing up.
 Not only does the war fail to affect the barbers' business, but the weather likewise makes no impression. Win ter, summer spring and fall the barbers keep on shaving. The volume of business in the barber shops re- mains about the same. Men must be shaved and although the barbers ad- init that the safety razors have cut in on their trade somewhat they assert that as rule men are becoming lazier and want their whiskers whisked away to the tune of the ton sorial song, the barber's incessant chatter. Business bOOms or depres- sions have no significance for the barbering business. As long as the flowing whiskers force their way to the cheeks and necks of struggling manhood so long will barbers be seen at the old stands. Until someone comes across with new method of getting rid of a pestiferious adorn- ment the barbers will thrive. That being the case, long life to the barbcrs.
