WAYS OF WAISTS.

As much importance lies in the
waist trimmings as in cut and mater
ial. There are so many methods of
treating an apparently simple pattern
that one should not be at a loss to
give the artistic touch to the other
wise plain blouse.
One pongee waist for utility wear
has the small fiat collar and simple
cuffs embroidered in a design of
brown The pongee covered buttons
are embroidered with the same brown,
and over the shoulder seam the same
color silk is used in an elaborate
shocking design.
Another blouse of mermaid green
handkerchief linen is relieved by a
set in yoke of white. Where it's points
Joined the waist material a design of
small dots is worked. The cuffs are
treated in the same way.
An ecru dotted net has a vest OF
white silk. Around this vest, and
forming a second collar, is a strip OF
white silk braid about three inches
wide. This same braid is used again
on the cuffs.

NEW FABRICS IN STRIPES.

The rose tones seem to be as popu-
lar as ever, and the same is true of the
old blues and certain clear, cool, rath-
er light green's. A very stunning lot
of stripes in these colors with white
has been brought out in cotton
gabardine and will doubtless find
favor for summer sport wear and for
other country uses, taking, to some
extent, the place of the gay striped
linens.
In the piquelettes, which is first
cousin to French pique, come very at
tractive colorings with hair lines of
white between the fine cords soften
ing the color tone greatly. In a maize
this material is particularly good and
there are several good shades of rose.
Silk jersey weaves in stripes of
white and color are shown at all the
silk counters and in many colors. An
inch stripe seems first favorite, but
there are stripes both wider and mar
rover. Plain one tone silk jersey, too
is plentiful, and wool jersey is shown
in every color of the raibow. Report
has it that this jersey cloth will not
be confined to sports clothes, as it has
been, but will be used for other frocks

OUR NEED OF DYEsTuFFs.

It is an interesting story which is
told by the representative of an au-
tomobile concern upon his return
from South America to the effect that
there need be no worry about a short
age in dyestuffs, since it is possible
for Brazil to develop it's vegetable
dyes to the point where all demands
can be satisfied. That of course
sounds interesting and must mean
much to Brazil, if it but realizes and
takes advantage of the present situa-
ton, but it can by no means point to
the end of the efforts which should be
made to develop the making of dye
stuffs in this country for the purpose
of meeting domestic demands.
The opportunity which exists in
Brazil is no greater than that which
prevails in this country. We have
been dependent upon Germany for a
long time and if Brazil is to be allow
ed tozstep in and supply our wants in
that direction it means that we are
going to become dependent upon that
country for dyes, much the same as
we are upon Chilli for the nitratei
which are such an important require.
ment in the manufacture of explo.
sives
If this country was unable to make
dyes, and did not have the raw ma.
teriaI with which to work, it would
be different thing, but such is no
the case. This country is permittins
much of the coal tar products which
Germany has utilized to so great al
extent to go to waste. No use is mad,
Of them but the lesson of the pas
year and half is sufficient to brin.
about a change. The dyestuffs whicl
are used here not only can, but shoulc
be manufactured in this country ant
The sooner legislation which will en-
courage such an end is passed tn
betteriit will be for the United State

A GOOD CONTRACT.

IT will be generally agreed that the
board of gas and electrical commits
sioners has acted wisely and well in
securing the contract which it has
with the Uncas Power company for
the delivery of electricity from the
hydro electric plant at Scotland to the
electric light station in this city. 1t
means that the department is to Sc
cure the product of that plant at the
fiat rate Of one cent a kilowatt hour
which, according to the last report of
the commissioners, is less than the
manufa curing cost when produced by
steam, and there is not required the
outlay which" would be necessary to
bring the municipal plant up to the
condition which would permit it to
handle the full load indefinitely.
The advantage to be gained by this
is the same as that which caused a
previous board to sign a similar con-
tract 1t insures the department 9

FIGHTING FOR PURE FOOD,

has been brought clearly to the at

HE traffic in decomposed eggs, busi-
hess which ought to condemn itself.

SATISFACTION
PROMISES.
FROM

Little genuine satisfaction has been
obtained from the exchange of notes
between this country and Germany
regarding the manner in which that
country has persistently disregarded
the rights Of humanity and the pro-
visions of international law in its
method of carrying on its submarine
warfare.
AS if to show it's defiance to the en-
tire world, the neutral as well as the
belligerent, the commanders Of the
underwater boats have been directed
to send ships to the bottom which
were not only entitled to protection
both as to cargo and passengers, but
which had been promised it un-
der international agreements. The
result of the protests that have been
made is that promises were given that
reforms would take place. 1t was first
assured that liners would not be sunk
without warning. Upon the breaking
of that PROMISE the unjustified excuse
was given that it was thought the at
tackled vessel was going to ram the
submarine when it was known that
| the. submarine was in hiding. Reiter-
ated promises that the rights of hu-
mainly would be respected and that ii
would be SEEN that those forced to
take to small boats would be gotten
to places of safety followed only to
| have the lives of neutral and non
| combatant men, women and children
threatened by the announcement that
| all merchantmen armed for defense
| would be torpedoed without warning
1t was impossible to accept such ar
attitude as justified, since the right
to arm for defense cannot be ques-
toned when the acts of the com
planning belligerents are the cause fol
such steps being taken.
In the latest cases, however, the at.
tack Of the Patria, the sinking of the
Tubantia and now within a few day:
| the sending to the bottom of the Sus.
sex and the Englishman, all of which
| were unarmed clearly shows tina
promises amount to nothing and it il
evident that it is time that a differen
attitude was manifested towards them

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Reply to Mr.. Boardman.

Mr.. Editor: Mr.. Boardman is a BUSH
ness man and must be aware Of two
facts, that If electricity can be manu-
featured by steam as cheaply as by
water power it is strange that the
commissioners were so ardent to close
ten years contract for electricity
with a water power company. If what
Mr.. Boardman claims is true the giving
of the contract to outside parties is an
injury not a benefit to the taxpayers,
and is simply a political favor which
from any point of view would be indie
feasible.
If electricity could be made as cheap
ly with coal as with water, the great
companies would not be engaged in
getting hold of all the water privileges
in America, and where water power is
not ample be spending millions to con-
struct storage reservoirs. Some Amer
lean cities have gone $50 miles for
water power to produce cheap cleo
tricity. There is no room for argument
along these lines. The Bulletins fig
ures leave no doubt upon this point
any more than does the past and pres
ent action of the Norwich gas and
electric commission.
The statement that the plant did not
cost the city a cent doesn't hold true
since a debt is a money obligation the
city must pay, and it has cost the city
several hundred thousand in repairs
alterations and interest. This plant
may pay for itself in time, but the
court decided it was a purchase, not &
gift, and a purchase on credit is q
cash liability-a money transaction.
If Mr.. Boardman trusts a farmer fol-
a pillow he cannot say the pillow cost the
farmer nothing, even if it pays for it.
self ten times over. 1t costs the farm
err the charged price. The city has the
gas and electric plant to pay for.
1t was the credit of the city not the
credit of the individuals representing
the city which made the transaction
possible.

Stories of the War
The DARING of the Siberian corps

The Daring of the Siberian Corps.
The following story of The Twenty
first Flying Column of the First Sibe-
rian corps was related by Andrew

Russian embassy at Washington. Kali
paschnikoff offered his service 10 his
country at the outbreak of the war
and was assigned to service with the
Red Cross. He became identified with
the 21st Flying Column and soon was
placed in command of that body.

GOOD BUSINESS MOVE.

While the armor plate bill was be-
fore the senate, an amendment was
offered by Senator Weeks to the ef-
feet that the cost of manufacturing
the armor be systematically reported
on by public accountants the idea be-
ing to furnish the information which
would show whether. the government
was actually manufacturing the pro-
duct at a saving, or whether it was
in reality paying more for the plate
turned out in the government owned
plant than was being asked by the
private concerns now engaged in the
business and which maintain that that
branch of their business is unprofit-
able.
1t appears to have been a common
sense suggestion and a good business
proposition, but it was defeated bv a
small majority, as the result of which
the New York Post says: TT would
be interesting to know just why. The
great reason urged in favor of a gov
eminent plant is that the private con-
Germs get extortionate prices for the
armor; are the advocates of the
scheme afraid that the facts NAV show
that the government gains nothing by
having its own plant? If they think
the showing would be favorable, why
do they not welcome a chance for a
convincing demonstration of the
soundness of the new move? Mere
aggregate statements of current ex-
penditure and current output, without
analysis showing overhead charges
depreciation, etc, will be far from
sufficient to determine the matter"
Such an amendment as Senate,
Weeks proposed was only in line will
business methods which private cor.
porations would have followed, anf
! that certainly is none too good for tn,
| government, whatever the endeayo,
| may be.
