EXPLANATION DU F..

Editor Macomber, of the Hartford Sunday Globe, advocates the Pennsyl- vania proposition of organizing Ian exclusively red.headed volunteer brl- gade' for duty in Mexico. The idea is plainly a plagiarism of Lew Stones ''bald- headed regiment" suggestion.
 Of course there is no valid objection to the ed-head adoption of the bald.head suggestion, but why should Macomber support the Pennsylvania idea rathe than the Winsted, Connecticut, idea
 He is neither red d.headed nor bald headed his Apollo form and fine Grecian features are surmounted by a luxurlant growth of dark flowing dresses.

NOT EXTRRVAGANT.

According to "The American Boy, :" the discovery of America was not an expensive undertaking, the total cost having been little more than $7,000. The value of Columbus fleet was 1000. Columbus himself received a salary, as admiral, of $500 year; the two captains who accompanied him re- ceived S2OO year, each, and the mem- bers of the crews were paid at the rate of $2. 50 a month, each. The estimated cost of $7,OOO for the discovery of America was none too much for the job it was worth it.

Give the Baby a Chance,

Bad air, bad milk, over-crowding, poverty, dirt, ignorance, heat-these combine in summer to kill the city baby. It seems as though the brunt of the cities sanitary sins were focused on the baby. The baby didn't ask to come, to live in a hot, dark, air tight tenement, to be fed on dirty, half spoiled milk, to be pestered with flies and mosquitoes. He is not responsible for any of these conditions and it is his right that he have fresh air, clean sur roundings and deeent food.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS.

The infantile paralysis problem is engrossing the attention of physicians, not only in New York but throughout the entire East. A number of cases have been reported in Connecticut and vigorous precautions are being taken, especially in the cities, to prevent the spread of the disease.
 In accordance with recommendation of the State Board of Health, measures are being adopted by the various town health officers, acting under instruc- tions of the county health officers, which will insure strict vigilance with regard to the supervision of child ren, especially children coming into the state from other sections where they may have been exposed to the danger of infection. Health Officer Lee. of Canaan, issues a notice to the public, this week, detailing the Instructions of the State Board, for the information and direction of parents and others. These recommendations are reasonable and should secure to the health officer the unstinted cooperation of the people generally and a due respect for the officers authority in the interest of the public health. The provisions appear ill another part of this paper and should be carefully read. At present two homes, in Dr. Lees jurisdiction, are under quarantine, in Canaan Valley, for the reason that New York children visit there, and while there is no evidence or suspicion of the dread disease. it is deemed the wisest course to isolate them for a reasonable time. Local people having guests from the city will do we'll to heed Dr. Lees warning:
 By instructions received from
 the County Health Officer, it be-
 comes my duty to require all child
 ren coming into town from New
 York or other infected districts, to
 register W ith me and be under my
 control and observation for at least
 twenty days"
 The omission of Sunday school ses- O@ Sunday school picnics are considered and accepted as advisable provisions under the circumstances. The seventh paragraph of the State Boards recom- mendations should be specially ob- served. as follows:
 |<Where New York children are present in a community, the attend ance by children at theatres, churches and other pubic indoor gatherings should be discouraged. The exact mode of transmission of this disease has not as yet been determined, but ii is known that the secretions from the nose and mouth of the afflicted contain the germs of the disease. It is there fore possible that transmission may be by dust, feas, flies, household pets ckbpmon drinking cups and towels fsily handkerchtefs and kissing Haenx children. The public should beSarned of these dangers.

g. Billion in War Orders.

America from Chicago east, is now on the shady side of $3, 900, GOO, 900 in all its war orders. counting blankets, machinery, locomotives and other pro. ducts not coming strictly under the head of munition.
 Twenty-four corporations alone ac- count for more than $l, ,000, GOO, 900 up to February of this year. This figure is said to be highly conservative. " In either words this item, comprising scarcely Cne third of the country's war receipts, is equal to the entire national debt of the United States, with 40 years of existence behind it during which it financed four wars, of its own, immunerable congressional "pork bar rels,'' and satisfied the wants of a population of 100, 900, 900, or as many people as France and Germany have combined.
 Official reports from the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce of Washington show that shipments of war munitions up to date have aggre- gated SAG, ,000,000 These figures cover munitions in the strictest sense of the word. They do not include To. comotives, blankets, rails, machines for unmaking or other materials of this class which are indispensable to the nations as part of their war supplies.
 1t must be remembered also that tremendous amount of war orders already placed will not begin to run, before the fali and next year. Some of these contracts call for delivery as late as 1918.

Wood Waste Exchange .

Extensive use by lumbermen and wood working factories of the wood waste exchange conducted by the who have just completed short field study to determine the extent to which the opportunities offered are being taken advantage of. Only a small per cent of the total number of concerns listed were visited, but comparatively large number were found to have benefited by the exchange.
 Makers of wooden novelties, it is said, have been particularly successful ;n finding supplies of material near their plants. Other wood working in- dustries have been able to dispose of their waste at higher prices than they could otherwise have obtained. Many of the firms were located within short distances of each other. but until re- gently have had no way of getting to. gether.
 The wood waste exchange was estab- lished by the Forest Service in 1914. It consists of two lists of manufacturers, which are sent out quarterly to persons Iu6ul OI6 LII kllcs6 IS Ol Opportunities to Sell Waste" and contains the names of firms which use sawdust and small pieces of wood. This list is sent to plants having waste for sale. The other is of "Opportuni- ties to Buy Waste" and gives the names of concerns which have waste to dis. pose of. This list is sent to firms who wish to buy material.
 There is no charge for the service and any manufacturer who wishes to have his name added to either list can do so by writing to the Forest Service, Wash ington, D. O. A list of waste pro. blems which the exchange has proved an effective means of meeting can also be obtained by anyone who cares to ask sfor it.
