MAINTAINING STATE ROADS.

In Connecticut as we'll as in other states there is a large growth each year in the number of automobile owners. This means of course that there is greater use of the highways and that the expense of maintenance is necessarily increased. Equally so is 1t evident that good roads are lend ing encoura cement to the purchase of motor vehicles, and this applies to the residents in the country as well as to those in the cities.
 In this connection it is therefore in teresting to note that the automobile bureau of the state shows that the. li- cense fees received by the state from drivers and owners of autos during the fiscal year amount to the good sized sum of $78O,0 and that the steady increase in this income is such that the state secretary is of the opin- ion that the revenue from this source will amount to a million or more next year.
 The money thus obtained goes for the expense of maintaining the state highways, because it is realized that good roads are important to the com fort of automobile riding and decided ty beneficial in the case of those ma chimes which are engaged in business pursuits. The wear and tear on the roads by automobiles make big high way repair bills. even though it is largely due to the autoists that Con- necticut has its excellent system of state roads. It is apparent, however, that they are contributing their share to the upkeep and that they give promise of doing even better in the future.

president that there are some in the administration circles who are hc- quainted with the facts, Ambassador Bernstorff also declares that he has no information bearing upon the re- port, but his denial was made before his receipt of the communication from the commander of the submarine U-53.
 Just what this report is really based upon may be cleared up by the ar rival of MT. Gerard and even though such a request is brought by him it does not necessarily mean that it will be followed. .
 It is entirely possible that Great Britain has received some inl6ling of a move of this kind and it may be that it was such which prompted Lloyd George to make his recent speech upon that point when he in sisted that the war must go to a f1n- ish and that no meddling in behalf. of peace could be tolerated at this time. If such is the case he has given ex- pression to England's attitude, and probably that of it's allies, before it has been asked.

PRETTY CANDLE SHADES,

The vogue of black and white, which has brought about so many black and white rooms. has one dis advantage, and that is in the coli2ness of its effect in the evening. The se- were black and w[ite candle and lamp shades are charming by day, but unpleasantly glaring by night. As a result new transformation shades are being shown for both lamps and can dles. These are outwardly plain white with a design in black, but they are lined with colors in varying designs. Of course. the moment the shade is put over a light the coiors shine through the black and white and the severe magpie shade becomes a glow ing bunch of roses, or boasts a flight of swans across an azure sky, while others show iustrous reds and warm purples in a grape design. Even if those who have the black and white shades cannot achieve these charm ing color schemes, the mere lining of the shades with rose or amber tinted paper or silk will bring about a charming result when dusk falls and the lamps are lighted

WOMAN IN LIFE AND IN THE KITCHEN

suits and blouses are the most effcc- tive aditions.
 One simple style uses the net cape, which falls from the top of a rather high collar. This cape is full and the edge may be picoted or herstitched, plain or embroidered. The high col lar, underneath, which shows plainly through the net, is finished at the front with a tiny bow and long ends of narrow ribbon.
 To wear with the suit Of taffeta and serge or the all taffeta gown, enc may make a ruff of the tafeta and white mousseline. A neckband of velvet ribbon really holds the two ruff1es together and continues in long ends down the front. The taffeta is cut with deep points at it's upper edge and stitched, the front one accetuated with tiny roses. The joining of the band and the full outstanding mous- seline ruffle is invisible.
 Mousseline is used to make another cape collar suitable for wear over a plain blouse. The undercape reaches several inches below the shoulders, and over 1t is fastened a smaller fit ting cape, ending in deep embroidered scalIops. A ribbon band at the neck connects them with an upstandfng neck ruffle

 The fact is further emphasized by the speech of Theodore Roosevelt when he said President Wilson re- fused to speak in Independence Hall on the one hundred and twent eighth anniversary of the signing of the Dec laration of Independence in that hall, and he so refused because inasmuch as over one hundred ofa our men, women and children had just been murdered on the high seas be regarded it as the very moment when he would not care to arouse the sentiment of patriotism.

 Is there any wonder that the nations of Europe got the idea that they could do with this nation about as they pleased? Is there any surprise that this nation was ''too proud to fight they gathered that this nation was too proud to fight" even before the president so declared?

HOW TO ALTER WAIST PATTERNS

To increase bust measure draw a line on front and back of pattern from shoulder straight down through waist line. Cut on this line and sep arate back and front patters each one fourth of the whole amount need ed
 To decrease bust measure reverse the process. laying a fold on both back and front.
 To lengthcn back and front measure two inches above the waist line and cut through pattern. Separate as much as Is needed. Straighten under arm seam.
 To shorten back and front lay fold two inches above the waist line taking up the extra length. Should the figure be extremely long and full in the bust the pattern may be length ened more by cutting across the chest and back, besides adding some at waist line.
 To alter sleeve use the same method as for waist.
 If much alteration is necessary new patterns should be cut either from paper or inexpensive material. Meas ures to be taken are:
 Waist-Bust, length of back, length of front and sleeve
 Skirt-Waist measure, hip, length Of skirt, front and back.
 With these measures, one Is ready to test, the comercial patterns.

POLITICAL

MT. Hughes need hardly reply to the presidents wild assertion that the election of Hughes and Fairbanks would be followed by a declaration of war against some foreign power.
 The American people know Mr. Hughes as man who will not use the army and the navy in a war of az gression. They require no assurance that MT. Hughes will not make DOT tentous threats when he has no idea of putting them into execution.
 MT. Wilson has talked about what he would do and has been prolific in writing bellicose notes. But when the time for action came he did nothing, and the diplomats are well aware of his vacillation and weakness.
 MT. Hughes would not plunge the country into war, as MT. Wilson de- clares. Fairness and firmness in deal ing with other countries do not call for the use of big guns. All respect the man who knows his rights and says no more than he is prepared to do.
 MT. Wilson's record is that of sn

MUST RESPECT HUNTING LAWS.

When the announcement is made by Superintendent Champion of the fish and game commission of Connecticut that determined efforts are to be made to see that the hunting laws are obey ed this fall, it will be realized that the undertaking is big one but it is nevertheless important that such should be done.
 Not only is it important for thes proper protection of bird life, or game in general. but there are laws which require certain things of those who go into the country with a gun and it is important that there should be full compliance herewith. It is true that hunting is one of the things which has advanced in cost but this should be applied to all alike and not mean that it involved simply these who are will ing to pay the license and not to those who are not. It should not mean that the residents of the state must pay for the privilege when aliens and those from other states get by without it be- cause they take a chance at dodging the law and there is no one to force obedience.
 There has been much of this in the past and it is the right attitude which Supt. Crampton takes when he gives notice that he will hold every hunter to the provisions of the law this fall. for the sooner this is fully understood by those who are affected the quicker will the end be put to the number of violations. It is therefore a move in the right direction which will meet with general commendation.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Ate Meals Inside Enemv's Lines.


 In one of the Italian restaurants ir the London business district much frequented by newspaper men who have grown tired of the stody and monotonous English food of the or dinary polite little figure who the last month has been kept busy telling of his experiences in Gorizia.
 A year ago he was a private in the Italian Bersaglieri, and it was then that he went into the famous Austrian fortress under the very eyes of the enemy and had a meal in a restau- rant.
 We were on hill,' he said,' and we could see Gorizia far below us. l should say it was about six or seven miles, and we were taking about the distance, when one of the Austrian prisoners we had just taken said: Why don't you go down there and see Gorizia?"
 We had taken a number of Aus trians, they were decent chaps and we gave them salad and Chianti wine. One night we said very weIl,' and went down. There were seven of us and three Austrian prisoners to show the way.
 Tt was dark and I do not know what Gorizia was like. We went to a place and had supper. It was in the poorer part of the town, but we had a very good supper there with our prisoner guides. There were no Sol- diers in the town itself then.
 We were on the hill at one side and the Austrians were behind 1t and on the sides. There were old people there and sometimes Austrian soldiers came tc visit their homes there, but did not wear uniforms in the streets. The old woman of the restaurant said her son, who was an Austrian sol- dier, had been there earlier in the evening. We asked her to show us his clothes, which she did to prove that what she said was true, and one of us cut off the collar of his uniform with the number of his regiment on it.
 Here his story stopped. He doee not consider the rest of the medieval the slipping back to their own lines and the dangers that sur rounded them everywhere worth men, tioning, though he admitted that the visit was a good deal talked about in the regiment. A few weeks later he was wounded and now is back In his old place iii the London restaurant once more.

cut the doubled ends and your tassel is complete.
 For beaded tassels, which are coE- sidered stylish, 8 different method will have to be employed. The beaded strands of silk not beaded too closely will have to be carefully measured as they cannot be cut after doubling. A large bead may be used for the head of such tassel and each thread ed through this large bead and all tied together in a large enough knot.
 Narrow ribbons can be made into tassels in the same manner as silk or wool threads. Strips of leather can be treated in the same way.
 Even ostrich fronds, beaded, oc- casionally are formed into tassels. Infinite care at the hands of an anna teur might accomplish such a tassel from an old willow plume.

WEAR LOOSE CLOTHES.

Some girls have the strangest ideas of cool clothes for hot weather. So long as their outside covering is of the sheerest gauge they think they should be cool. Now, as a matter of fact, physical coolness Is more de- pendent on loose clothes than on thin cnes. If your stays are as loose as possible, if you have no tight collars nor shoes, if your dress is loose in fit, you will be much cooler, even though the goods of your dress be medium in weight, than the girl who wears a frock of transparent thinness but has her stays tightly laced. So have your summer wardrobe made loose and com fOrtable in fit

ENOUGH OF THE DEMOCRATIC
 TARIFF.

Owing to the emphasis which was placed upon it at the time it Is inn possible to forget the fact that the democratic platform of 1912 promised reduction in the cost of living The term of the administration which was put into power with such a platform is drawing to a close. but it is not re- corded that there has been any full fillment of this promise. On the con- trary it is well known through daily experience that the cost of living has been steadily advancing. It has got ten to the state where an increased cost in some commodity or other is faced almost daily.
 Even the federal statistics show that the cost of living has advanced 14 per cent. during the Wilson admin 1stration meaning an aggregate addi- tional cost of $S0O.000,OOO in the food bill of the nation up to last July. Since that time it is well known that there have been further additions and there is no telling where they will stop. And this added cost did not start with the opening of the war but had set in before it broke out.
 Much was said by the democrats about the high cost of living having been due to the tariff. They proceeded to remedy the situation by slashing the tariff laws as they found them, and still the country is waiting to be shown where the democrats have helped matters. The fact is that their claims about the republican tariff were groundless. since their own pro- duct has failed to improve the situa- tion, and yet the country has been de- nied that very protection which sound industrial prosperity requires The country has had enough of the detrie mental effects of the democratic tariff

FRlNGED CENTERPIECE.

A rather novel idea for large cen terpiece is to use instead of scanops a narrow lace insertion on the edge and finish this with a plain fringe in stead of the usual lace edging. It is much prettier than one would ex- pect.
 The centerpiece should be a coarse Clury, not necessarily expensive, for many of the limitations that are ma chine made are quite pretty.
 A narrow fringe, as plain as pos sible, is best to use; frequently where the lace joins the materials and also where the lace and fringe meet a line of colored stitching is used.

 The importance of one vote was again emphasized in the town cleo tions of Monday. The majority for in Simsbury and also in East Granby was one. Such instances are frequent enough to show that the influence of one vote may be great and far reaching. The person who chise because he feels that an individ- ual ballot will be lost in the mass should study and remember such in stances as these, and they are by no means infrequent. Most certainly the vote that is not cast does not count. The sensible attitude is for each voter to feel that his ballot may change the result. Elections or eau causes that go by default by reason of failure of voters to act, are exceed ingiy unsatisfactory.-Bris Press.
