The Connecticut Association Op.
posed to Woman Suffrage is planning
a series of meetings in the cities an6
towns represented by the delegation
to the convention sof the National AS
ISOLATION in Washington, which will
be addressed by the members who
went with the delegation, giving their
experiences, and the plans made for
the continuation of the state cam
paign in Connecticut. While in
Washington the Connecticut presi-
dent Mrs. Daniel "A. Markham, Of
Hartford, received many compli-
ments on the good work already done
this year which has resulted in such
a large increase in membership
which now. standing at more than
$4,000, makes the state branch one
Of the largest Of the rs which COM
prise the national organization.
There will be meetings in Hart
ford, New Haven, fairfield, Rock
vile, Litchfield, and Norfolk, at each
Of which the members will be adj
dressed by one or more of the state
delegates to Washington. The board
Of managers also met in Hartford
and laid out plans for the campaign
for the winter, based on views ex-
changed with the national leaders at
the Washington convention.
The coming winter will be busy
one in anti-suffrage circles, for with
the opening of the legislature next
month, there will be inaugurated a
campaign to. inform them Of the
strong sentiment against suffrage for
women which exists here and which
Is represented; by the anrl-sufrrage

Whistling Buoy From
Nantucket Makes Trip

Washington, Dec. 15.-The rowing
voyage of a whistling buoy, has just
been written into maritime records
by the United States Bureau OF
Lighthouses and its courses gcharted
by the photographic Office Of the
Navy in the interest Of science.
Nantucket Shoals wlaistling buoy,
stationed off the Massachusetts, coast

dulges in is "bull-dogging." The
chances Of bull-dogging ever being
the national sport are exceedingly re-
mote. The game is played by a
bull and two mounted men. The OBJ
Ject is for one of the riders to throw
the bull: the, shorter the time the
better is the performance. The
riders, as soon as the bull is let loose,
spur on their ponies to overtake him.
When they have reached him and
are riding one either side of him,
the rider on the right suddenly slips
from his saddle onto the neck of the
bull. Then by digging his heels into
the ground he is able to stop the ami
NAL who evidently responds to the
brake more readily than would be
supposed. Then by some marvellous
trick Of throwing the ---? to one
side, while with one hand he grasps
the bulls horn and with the other
his jaw, he rolls the animal over on
his side. When the bull goes down
the man goes down with him and
raises his hand to signal that the
trick is turned. The object of having
two riders is to keep the bull from
swerving away from the horse after
being overtaken. We use the term
in, this sport, because Mis- Baldwin is
that INDUCES in it and her role is sell
dom that of the rider who merely
steers the bull toward the real bull
dogger.
At community picnic held in
South Lyme last October, the Bald
wins gave their services and : did
many of their stunts in trick riding
such as standing on one horses back
and driving two Others. dropping
away from the saddle on one side
Of the horse and coming up again on
the other, and various other thrilling
bits of Workmanship, but as there is
a scarcity Of untamed. bronchos in
the town and as the bulls there are
not wild enough to make bulldog
ging exciting for John and his sister,
the pair of riders speak of their ex-
hibition then as a very tame affair.
They also rode. last autumn at the
Norwich, Naugatuck and Derby fairs.
The Baldwins' most priced posses
sions are their saddles. The sunniest,
largest room on the ground floor of
farm house has been emptied Of all
furniture, and there in the center of
the floor on an especially built stag
ing are their three pet saddles. Til
lies business saddle, Johns business
saddle, and an deliberately ornament

set in the leather as, thick as buckle
berries in a Johnny cake. This cost
$125, and was won by John in New
Mexico at q tournament of al1-around
horsemanship.

PRINCE GEORGE OF SERBIA

In the Serbian army there is said
to be a strong movement for the re-
storation to Prince George, eldest Of
King Peters sons, OF the rights to
the throne which he was forced to
re1inquish six years ago. Prince
George made himself very unpopular
among the Serbians because Of his
ungovernabIe temper, which often led
him to severely chastise his servants,
and even attack peasants who had
angered him in some way. The old
luminosity toward the Prince has been
forgotten because of his bravery in
battle, and he is now a popular hero
among the Serbian soldiers Prince
George is in his thirtieth year. His
early life was spent principally in
Switzerland, where his father, a scion
OF the outlawed Serbian house OF
Karageorgevitch, was an exile. Prince
George was 16 when Peter was re-
called to Serbia and placed upon the
throne. His mother had died when
he was three-she was the Princess
Zorka OF Montenegro-and this may
account for the Wild and dissipated
tendencies he manifested soon after
his arrival in Belgrade to play the
role OF Crown Prince OF the Balkan
kingdom. In 1909 he gave one of his
Wallets so terrible a drubbing that the
poor fellow died. Popular indigna-
ton reached such pitch that King
Peter commanded his eldest son to
renounce his rights, and his younger
brother, Alexander, quiet but mas
terful youth, became Crown Prince OF
Serbia. Prince George was placed in
a French sanitarium, and after his
release entered the Saint Cyr mill
tary school, where his father had
been a student. but he was soon Dis
missed. He returned to Serbia when
the first Balkan war broke out, and
In that conflict and the subsequent
war with Bulgaria, as well as in the
present war, he was noted for his
bravery. On many occasions he risk
ed his life recklessly and was at his
best In leading forlorn hopes.

DAYS OF CHEAP
TOUR IN EUROPE
BELIEVED Over
Travel There VIII Be Elk
pensive as In America,
Agents Assert.

Vienna, Dec. 14.--Cheap tours
through Europe are considered over
forever by men qualified to speak on
the subject. The days in which a
dollar doubled and trebled in value by
crossing q border are considered
gone. The increase in the cost OF
labor, taxation due to the war. the
wear. and tear on all means OF travel,
: augmented by the neglect which the
war brought about. and the great ano
general economic loss and waste In
cident to the present times have re-
moved Central Europe from the list
OF places where one could spend
few weeks In great comfort and still
save the price OF first class steamer
ticket. Travel after the war will be
as expensive in Europe as In the
believe.
At the present time such a thing
as an empty room In a Vienna hotel
has ceased to be. Nowadays a room
worth having in q Vienna hotel can
1 be obtained only by getting ones
name ON the waiting list. and even
this Is impossible If the would-be
patron Is unknown to the manage
ment. visitors still under the inn
preston that Vienna hotels are run
on the old basis usually spend hours
after their arrival trying to find a
room and then end up by sleeping in
some hotel corridor on a cot at a
price which formerly would give
them a good room Those unlucky
enough to reach Vienna with a night
train may spend their first night in
the station. AT one of the best Wen
ma hotels the price for q suite Of two
rooms and bath went up by % crowns
q few days ago, this increase being
incident to general rise which add
ed from two to five crowns to even
the plainest rooms. In Budapest con-
ditions are possibly a hifle worse
Even Sofia is seeing rise in prices
In hotel accommodation which is un-
precedented in the Balkans, and Con-
stantinople, Boasting OF but two first
class and three second-class, hotels,
has become altogether impossible for
the ordinary traveller.
The cause for i this Is the same
everywhere. The war prevents peo-
pie from going to the wintering
places in the South, and amusement
is therefore sought in the large cities.
Refugees from districts in the war
zones, and the many officers on leave
OF absence or convalescense, not to
mention innumerable government
agents and purchasers also make
heavy demands on transient living

portrayal of "Robbins'' in 1.-THE For

the hits of the play. James Mott, who

WOULD REDUCE SPEED
OF AUTOS IN CITY
Gideon Stok Makes Some
Pertinent Suggestions
About 1t

Gideon Stolz goes on record as against
fast automobile driving, cutting close
corners and the driving of autos past
street cars while taking on or unloading
passengers. In communication to the
city council at the last meeting, Mr..
Stolz suggested that eight miles an
hour should be the speed for autos in
the center zone and that Is miles an
hour would be right for the outside dis
trict. The present law provides for Is
miles an hour within the fire district
with 20 miles in the residence district,
with a limit Of 10 miles passing school
houses during school hours. Mr.. Stolz
also favors an ordinance wherein no
curtains shall be allowed within two
feet of the wind shield on each side of
the auto. In turning corners at the
intersection of business streets, he
would cut the speed down TO about
three and one-third miles an hour. And
that these laws should be enforced, he
believes two plain clothes men should
be added to the police force. Tho com.
was referred to ordinance
committee.

the liver becomes sluggish, fat accum-
ulates and the action of many of the
vital organs is hindered thereby. The
heart action becomes weak, work is an
effort and the beauty of the figure is
destroyed.

and if nature is not assisted in throw
ing it off a serious case of obesity
may result.

too stout, take the matter in hand at
once. Don't wait until your figure has
become joke and your health ruined
through carrying around burden of
unsightly and unhealthy fat.

of korein capsules; take one after each

It's really simple matter to reno

old complexion into one of snowy white
ness and velvety softness. 1t literally
peels off the outer veil of surface skin,
but so gently, gradually, there's no dis,

not in patches, but evenly, in tiny par.

of mercolized wax, to be had at any
drug store, is enough TO remove any

Many skins wrinkle easily with every
