REPAIR PAVING SOON
Men Will Con7e to Putnam After Fin
 ishing at Hartford.

A representative of the company that laid the aniesite paving in Put nam two years ago was in this city Friday and inspected the work, which in some pla particularly between Richmond and Bridge streets, on Elm street. When the paving was laid it was with a guarantee that it would remain in good condition for five years.
 Some time since John G. Johnson of the highway committee of the common council wrote a letter to H. Ii. Davenport POmfTet, who repre- sents the state highway commission in this section. calling his attention to the manner in which sections of the pavement had broken down.
 MT. Davenport referred MT John sons letter to the office of the state highway department at Hartford and from C.. B. Hamlin, chief clerk. MT. Johnson has received a letter in which is set forth what the highway depart ment proposes to do to remedy the trouble.
 In his letter to MT. Johnson MT. Hamlin explains that the attention of the Shore Line Electric Railway, which met a part of the cost of lay ing pavement in Elm street, has been called to the condition of the pave ment at the present time.
 The letter also contains the infor- nation that men are now at work on Albany avenue, in Hartford, doing re- pairs to aniesite pavement and that as 500 mas the work is completed there the men and the equipment will be sent to Putnam.

IMPRESSIONS OF A REGENT
 VISIT TO THE PHILIPPINES
By Dr.. Inazo Nitohe, a Japanese Scholar We'll Known in the U. S.

TOkio, Aug. I8.-Dr. Inazo Nitobe a Japanese scholar, well known in the United States, where he spent several years. has just published impressions ot 9 recent visit to the Philippine Is- lands and his articles have attracted wide attention in Japan.
 Dr. Nitobe said he heard many Americans III the Philippines express belief that the islands would ultimate ly pass into the hands of the Japan ese, but he believed the attitude of the natives might be quite different
 The natives said he. believe they are superior to the Japanese, having enjoyed a European civilization for four hundred years and having used a language derived from the Latin As a matter of fact the Filipiros are no equal for the Japanese in politics, national defense or industry, but pos- sessing as they do such foreign ideas and customs, though ancient, they ra- ther look down upon the Japanese. It fefnalnS a, serious question whether they would COndesCead to look up to the Japanese as their superiors.
 They have, furthermore, not neg lected to pay close attention to the Japanese administration in Formosa and Korea, While Japan's administra- tiOn is not without its faults, it has been as Q rule a great success, and yet when comparison is made between Ja- pans colonial administration and that of America in the Philippines, they are widely different
 'In the Philippines the natives en- joy unlimited liberty of speech; they write and discuss as they like and no official intervention takes place. View cd from this respect alone would the Filipino welcome Japanese control. when he realized the present condition of Japan's policy in Formosa and Ko- req ?'
 The writer referred to the many po- litiCal liberties and prerOgatives pos sessed by the FfHpinos under Ameri- gan rule, and spoke particularly of the fact that American teachers in the public schools are gradually being re- placed by native instructors He add ed: Visit the primary schools and you will see the native instructors teaching very patriotic songs with the note, such as My Native Land. the Philippines, the Philfppines.'
 Tn the high schools, native books are used as text books, encouraging the spirit of political independence. There were more than eighty diolects in these islands, but today English is the common language, thus uniting the diversed inhabitants into one
 Our wonder grows, then why the natives under such favorable condi- tiOns should desire to discard Ameri- can rule to be replaced by that of Ja- pam"
 pr. Nitobe pointed out that the United States spends the huge sum of $30000, 900 annually in the Philippines Add to this the immOvabIe capital aI- ready invested in the islands, some thing like from 25 to 30 million dol lars more. It was not necessary. he said, to enumerate the blessings that have been brought about to the ra- tives by the inflow of such large amount of specie. Their wages have increased, and the standard of living has been raised. Should the Philip

til you find out where the auto is go- ing,
 On Thursday of this past week I went to the beach, some twenty in the party; but the day was so cold and the place so big and public, that we did not enjoy the day with our usual Social Corner freedom. The mist that fell at SEQ D. m. when I finally got Trottie and Theoda started for my home, added to our mirth if not our comfort. But I think either of them can describe the short trip from the car to my house better than can. l assure you it was a moving picture with a leading lady and a hero.
 The Hero said next evening: "'I know where there are two more Ri- plonos-I am going to the woods to- day to be gone a month If any of you are at my place. do look us up The Flag is out, the wild flower gar den is in front of the porch. and our porch is well furnished with what one neighbor calls Chicken GOOD furniture" You will know the place

TRY THIS GREEN GRAPE PIE.

The recipe for this pie has been a favOrite in our family for 50 years, and possibly never has been in print.
 Line a pie plate with crust, sift over this 1 level tablespoon flour. Wash as many green grapes as will heap on 3 tablespoons, scatter evenly over flour Mix l coffee cup of sugar and 8 Slightly more than leveIl tablespoons flour. Sift ove< the grapes. add I cup scalding or hot water. Place top crust carefully and bake at once. Use grapes the size of green pea, before the seeds harden. The older &ey are the more sugar is required 0Ad fewer grapes. About one-third as many will make a single layer on the bottom of pie There should be enough flour to thici1en so it will not run or be too stiff.
 Green gooseberries also are excellent for me.
