bets. The cafes do not look quite as they should, either.
 AS for the people in them, a good many would pass without question Just such slight and trim young men in Italy would sit at little tables on the sidewalk. Just such young wom- en, rather pale and powdered as to complexion, rather dusky as to eyes and hair, would sit beside them. And you hear a good deal of Italian. But you hear more of other and less fa- miliar languages. And those red fez- zes are @ new note. So are those more numerous hay -colored uniforms that sat at no cafe in my Italian days.
 "A more striking note is afforded by numerous dignif1ed old gentlemen taking their ease in their bath-robes as 1t were, slit @ little up the side and tied about the waist with a gay silk girdIe. Over the bath-robe they usual | ly wear long, open coat lined with yellow fur, which guards them from the cold in winter and in the sum- mer from heat. And none of them is without string of beads preferably i of amber, dangling from his hand and giving him something to play with.
 Such an old gentleman should be accompanied by an old lady, who contributes what is most ohara ctef1s- tic to the local color of Saloniki. The foundation of her costume is petit coat of some dark silk, and a white bodice crossed below her throat--a very thin bodice, cut very low at tho neck and palpably unstiffened by any such mail as western women arm themselves with.
 "Over this superstructure the old 1a1 with fur and two striped silk aprohs- one before and one behind. The lat ter is caught up on one side, some corner of it being apparently tucked into a mysterious pocket. But the crown and glory of the old lady Is her headdress-a sort of flat frame tightly wound about with @ stamped or embroidered handkerchief, and crowned with an oval gilt plaque get off by seed pearls. Whatever its col or, this creation invariably ends in a fringed tail of dark green silk, also ornamented by a gilt plaque of seed i pearls hanging half way down the
 old lady's back. Tn this wonderful tail she keeps her hair, of which you | see not scrap, unless at the tenn l ples. And about her throat she wears
 strings and strings of more seed | pearls.
 "she Is, this decorative, this often
 extremely handsome old lady, a mother in Israel The old gentleman 1 in the gaberdine is her legitimate con- | sort while many of the modernized
 young people at the cafe tables are ! their escendants-very many. A ] dozen different estimates of the pop 1 ulation are given, varying according to ! the race of the informant; but they ! all agree on the point that Salor1ki contains not far from 150,000 people, and that more than half of them are l Jews."

she has spent her morning so profit
 able. Did you ever pin freshly washed clothes on a line out in the sunsbine and breeze? Clothes that you had washed with your own hands? You haven't? Well, you needn't say 1t with such a scornful tilt to your nose.
 for you've missed one of the joys of
 being woman. Maybe the real work
 of it, the scrubbing and boiling and
 rinsing part, couldn't be called pure
 joy, but hanging the pieces up, clean
 and sweet and white, then standing
 back to view proudly the whole long
 row, ah! then you taste the glory of
 real achievement, and it gives 8 satis-
 faction that few achievements give.
 It's such worthy work, making the
 world @ cleaner, more wholesome
 place, by beginning on your own
 soiled raiment.
 And it's a cure for a lot of ail-
 ments, too, washing is! It Is parti6u- larly beneficial for that worst of all ailments, the blues. If you rise with an unusually deep shade of blues some morning. make a good hot suds and tackle your shirtwaists or doilies or curtains By the time you've put dozen pieces through the studs and taken the dirt out, you'll feel the blues fading out, and when they are all rinsed and hung up. and you stand back to gaze at them you'll feel like different person. It gives you such a good working knowledge of how to tackle dirt-both physical and spirit ual dirt.
 At long ago meeting, where brethren and sisters were called upon to tell their experiences one good sister rose to tell of the joys of the Christian life and said: "Tn tell you what real conversion feels like. It feels just like you do on @ nice bright Monday when you've washed 8 nice big washing and hung 1t on the line" When she sat down, a less sancti- monious sister got up suddenly, hl<e B jack in the box, and piped up. Yes and I can tell you what 1t feels like when you've had religion and | hen baoksld. It feels just like when you've washed g. nice big washing on ! Monday and hung 'em up on the inc, and the line breakst'' There were some tittering from the back seats and frowns from the front seats. The ttttering was from boys and the frowns rom stern men. Neither class un~ lerstood the illustrations, but every woman present understood them. The women knew the bestfffo mood ollowing 8 washing we'll done, and hey knew also the sickening sensa- ion of seeing ones snowy garments trailing in the mud. They were as good illustrations as ever were given in a church, but they wouldn't mean anything to you, if 7ou've never done a washing.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 2.-A str1k- Greece, is given in war geography bulletin of the National Geographic society, compiled from a communica- ton to the society from H. G. Dwight.
 Somebody had told me that Sa loniki was rather like Genoa" writes MT. Dwight, My first impression, therefore, was of a disappointing flat ness not in the least comparable to the lofty air-the piled. bastioned, heaven scaling air-of the Italian city. Yet Saloniki scales heaven, too, in her more discreet manner.
 And there is even something Ital- ian about her. This is most palpable on the broad quay of the water front, especially when a veritable row of fishermen from the Adriatic are dry ing nets or sails under the sea wall, just as they do in Venice. The ores cent of white buildings facing the blue bay would not look foreign in any Ri- mini or Spezzia.
 ''The White Tower, which Is the most conspicuous of them might per fectly have been the work of an Ital- ian prince. Indeed 8 Doge of Ven ice is said to have built the first edi- tion of it, and Suleiman the Magnif1- cent employed Venetians for, his own.
 "A splendid palace opens fiorid gates of hospitality there. skat- ing rink and g. cinematograph offer their own more exotic entertainments to the passer-by. Cafes abound over flowing onto the awninged sidewalk. Electric trans clang back and forth in proud consciousness of the fact that they existed when imperial Constanti- nople was yet innocent of such mod ernities.
 These cars take you around the eastern horn of the bay to the trim white suburb of Kalamaria, where consuls and other notables of Saloniki live. and where Sultan Abd-ul-Hamid IT spent nearly four bitter years in the Italian Villa Allattini, looking out at the provinc cial capital which he and Nero embellished in their day. On the opposite horn of the crescent Is the Latin-enough park of Besh Chinar- Five Plane Trees-where it Is good to sin coffee and listen to music in the cool of the day
 And if you did not know that greater prize and ornament of Salon. iki for Olympus, the true Thessal1an Olympus of Greek legend, you might easily imagine 1t to be some white l Alp or Apennine looming magnificent | ly across the bay.
 Look a littel closer. however, and | this Italian appearing town has un- ] familiar details. The white campan- l i'll that everywhere prick up above the roofs of weathered red are too slender and too pointed for true bell towers.

 Christmas is now less than a month away and the time in which to do Christmas shopping is considerably less than that. Therefore it behooves the purchaser to "do his Christmas trading early" This for several req sons. The early shoppers get a bet ter assortment of goods to select from and by doing their trading carly the shoppers save the tired clerks much hard work during the last few days when they have to work night and day and are literally worked bo death. It Is also a great relief to the clerks to have customers do their trading as carly in the day as possible. Later tn the day the clerks are tired and fretful, cannot give aS good service and cannot be expected to be as oc- commodating. Then too, the clerk has regular hours for stopping work as do other workers. yet crowd or late shoppers prevents this class or public servants from being able DO cease when the right time arrives

THE PROPOSED EMBARGO.

THE PROPOSED EMBARGO.
 Under the commerce clause of the 1.-the Constitution of the United States tEe Congress is vested with power to regulate exports to foreign nations iuSt~as it can place certain restrictions upon commerce among the several satatcs and with the Indian tribes. Be- cause of this power it is proposed that when the short session convenes next week an embargo be placed on food gstuffs Any such attempt will lead to an interesting debate and one that should be filled with the greatest 9Source of information ever given the 5nation on the conditions of it various acrops. There may be a special com mission appointed to obtain all the q raila ble data, d temporary commits 3Sion with powers somewhat similar to Ithose exercised by the interstate com mercc. commission and which would have to report back to Congress.
 The high cost of living has set the American people in search of a way out of their difficulties. An embargo on foodstuffs has been advanced by many as one of the first measures of relief It has been intimated that the pres- ent price of wheat is due to the Enormous shipments that go abroad every day, that the people here are left to suffer because higher prices can be obtained abroad. As with wheat, so with other crops. The foodstuffs which should find their way to Amer
 ican tables before the surplus supply
 is sent to appease other appetites are
 said to be shipped directly out of the
 country, thus causing an abnormal de-
 mand and a short supply. If this con-
 dition is found to be a reality and not
 a myth then there will be some excuse
 for an embargo. If on the contrary
 it is found that spectators have hoarded up the nations food supply in great warehouses and are waiting for the advance in prices then the em- bargo will be out of order To many minds it is a mooted question if an em- hargo on foodstuffs will bring about tEe panacea proclaimed for it. Econ omic theories have a way of being de- molishcd in the face of practical con ditions. The theory is that we are exporting more than our surplus sup ply of foodstuffs. The condition might be the reverse. The facts il the case must be determined before ahY radical action is taken and al embargo is radical in the extreme It would tend to upset our entire ma farmers who would necessarily GU down their crops because of a smalle market and thus throw out of em ployment many men. Such a reduc ton of supply would in itself proven any falling off of the prices.
 From whatever angle the question affords much food for thought. Ger tain it is that the mere contemplation
 of an embargo is fraught with al
 sorts of possibilities. Aimed primar
 fly to aid the people of the natiol
 1t might act as a boomerang. Drawn
 to alleviate the suffering of city foll
 it might hamper the farmer in hi
 work of providing foodstuffs for com
 munities unfitted for such production

will cease to produce. Prices lowered below a certain level because of a courage planting in the future. These are but few of the things to be con- sdered in the proposal to place an embargo on foOdstuffs.

Generally the New Britain fire de- partment has what might be called a snap when the actual work at fires during a year Is considered, but with al, when they do have big fires they have them In punches as has been the case this week. And when the critical moment arrives the local fire fighters are not found wanting. Equipped with the best of apparatus and men the department does its work In a manner deserving of much credit. That Is when the de- partment is generalized. Individually however, several suggestions might be made for the improvement of the de- partment and increased efficiency. This refers to the unnecessary shout ing of officers and unwarranted back talk by the men. An efficient officer should give his commands and en- force them, but in an unobtrusive manner On the other hand, 1t Is the duty of his interiors in rank to obey his orders without question. Theirs is to do and the responsibility rests with the leaders At one of the two biz fires a certain company leader was half way up a ladder superin- tending the taking down of a length of hose. As he did so he ordered a man just below him to stay Where he was and then he remarked In

out at the plate. Rousing cheers for
j. F. B.
High walked, Nunamaker was thrown
out, and this brought Gilhooly up with
the bases full, two runs needed TO tie
and two men out. When Bush handed
Gil two strikes and three balls the
game had reached its highest spot. AS
Bullet Joe started TO wind up the three
runners lurched out into a quick sprint,
but the start wasn't needed. For the
diminutive right fielder cracked one on
a line over Oldring, scoring three men
and counting himself when the relay
was fumbled.
Having packed away the lirst battle
the Yanks started at top speed for the
top of the ladder With two out in the
first. Wyckoff walked Gedeon and Bau-
mann, while Pipp and Boone singled
and three runs were over. This lead
was increased in the fourth, when High
tore off his home run with Baumann on
base.
Cliff Markle held the Mackmen TO
seven hits in the final contest, but the
youngster was a bit Wild, passing five
men and hitting another. The support
accorded both Msrkle and Wyckoff was
spotty and full of holes. The contest
was slipshod, but a spark of interest
iared up when the Mackmen started a
rally in the eighth, scored two and had
runners on second and third when
Markle settled down.
The final game was enlivened a trifie
by a heated debate between Danny
Boone and a loud-mouthed piker back
Of third, who came from the stands
down TO the box in his effort 70 ride
the Yankee infelder. Boone resented
the attack and was on the point of
starting trouble when High ran over
and dragged Dan away.
There have been several cheap gam
blers inhabiting this spot back Of third
and the main outbreak was supposed 10
have come from one of these who had
bet down on the Mackmen and was
trying to protect his fifty cents by
driving Boone into rout.
Bill Donovan went 70 the scene Of
warfare and launched a number of
pointed remarks, but when Bill arrived
the gambler Immediately moved back
out Of range.
In the two contests the Yanks scored
II runs on 10 hits, so you can gather
from this the shreddy nature of the
Philadelphia defence in the box and
around the inield. Donovan and cast
