FEATURES OF SUITS.

The new season suits will have Jack
cts considerably longer than those Of
the spring. Those now in course of
preparation run from 80 to SO inches in
length. Some are even longer, coming
to the knees, and even below. Many Of
the suit coats show a fitted tendency
above the waistline, but flare from be-
low that point. The collars are unus-
ually high, particularly at tlle sides
and back, but in many instances are
open at the throat. The sleeves are
usually set in at the normal arm size,
but are frequently finished with a
fancy fare cuff to give them an air Of
novelty. The skirts Of the suits are
usually made on simple lines. Pleats
are being introduced in some of the
new skirts, but the modified circular
skirt with belt, and occasionally with
Pockets. is favored largely for the
fall numbers.

equipped and prepared to fight
Mexico has been dependent to a
large degree upon this country for the
supplies Of arms and ammunition with
which the revolution has been carried
on for the past several years. It has
some Of these which it could and

Means Injury to Wooden Company, Not
Contractor.

Mr.. Editor: Every legal voter Of the
town of Norwich WHO has any pride
in the good name Of his town and in
the reputation Of its citizens for in
tegrity and fair dealing should make
it a point to attend the special town
meeting Monday evening and defeat
any attempt to rescind the vote passed
at recent town meeting in the mat
ter Of the future taxation of the Win
chester Wooden company.
On the 18th day of March, 1916, the
citizens of Norwich in town meeting
assembled duly voted to extend to the
Winchester Wooden company certain
consideration in the matter Of the
taxation of its property providing such
company would locate its plant in
Norwich. Acting upon the strength of
such vote, and relying upon the good
faith Of the citizens of Norwich, the
Winchester WooIen company complies
ed it's organization, purchased real
estate in Norwich, and has contracted
for the erection of large wooden mill
upon the same. Such contract was let
to the lowest bidder after all local con-
tractors had been given full oppor-
tunity to bid and now because such
lowest bidder (T1o understand Wae
over 81 500 under the neaxest COM

petitor) employs non-un1on LABOR and
is not in good standing with the local
labor organizations, it is proposed to
rescind the vote above referred to and
thus punish, not the contractor, but the
Winchester Wooden company. The Cit
liens of Norwich cannot afford to take
such action. We want new concerns to
locate here and new capital to be in
vested here, but we cannot expect to
bring this about if we do not propose
10 live up to our agreements.
If the vote with reference to the
taxation of the Winchester Wooden
company is rescinded, how much at
tention will ever again be paid to any
inducements that Norwich may offer to
bring new industries here? We viii
be told that cur promises sound We'll
but that, judging from the past, they
cannot be relied upon
1t has been said that the vote sought
to be rescinded is not legal one. This
is not the question. Legal or illegal
wise or unwise. die fact remains thai
the. vote was passed and that, relying
upon it, the Winchester Wooden COM
pany has expended a large sum OF
money and has contracted to spend
much larger sums in the establishment
of new industry here, and 1t would
be an unspeakable breach Of good faitt
for the citizens of Norwich to now d.
otherwise than stand by their vote.
We are friend Of labor, but we
should not sacrifice to such frinedsIliI
our reputation for integrity and fail

Yours truly,

rHAT MANIC BRIDGE.

All New London county has reason
to be interested in the proposition
which is to be placed before the rep
resentatives Of the towns and dis
tricts by the county commissioners in
this city Tuesday, concerning a new
bridge over the Mantle river to re-
place the present structure which was
purchased 'by the state and which il
Is incumbent upon the county to main
tain.
That there is need for new bridge
at that point cannot be questioned.
The present one is old and dilapidated.
1t does not meet government require
ments and New London county has
been directed to alter the unsatisfac-
tory conditions, but the matter Of ex-
-pense is a thing which cannot be care
lessly considered If the interests of the
taxpayers are to be safeguarded.
The proposition is to change the To-
cation and erect structure which will
call for an outlay Of about $4,000 al
a point where there should be a good
substantial bridge but not necessarily
an elaborate one. 1t would be folly tc
rush into such an expenditure blind
folded only to find that the replacing
OF that structure with substantial.
bridge according to the requirements
Of the government could be done fol
half that amount or even less.
The debt Of the county at the pres.
ent time is $4,000. To more thar
double that amount by building 6
100000 bridge and issuing bond:
would either put the debt up close t.
the quarter million mark, with a large
increase in the yearly interest accoun
or else 1t would mean a stiff county
tax bill for a number of years and i
is not known that there are any citiel
or towns in the county that are in
position to welcome any such burden
The matter is therefore one tina
should interest every town through it
representatives to see that this propo
sition gets the weighty consideration
that It deserves, but that the interest
OF the county be not neglected AM
in this connection the suggestion mad
by Mayor Allyn L. Brown in a lette
published elsewhere on this page ough
not to be overlooked.

CLEANING THE BEAN POT.

Let the bean pot stand over night
fillsA1 with water in which a table,
spoon of potash or I've has been dis
solved, and you will find it cleans
much better than with just soap and

Run an elastic through the band of
the little girls bloomers; much nicer
than the usual buttonholes.
Try cleaning gilt frames with cold
water and kerosene oil; great for re-
moving fly specks.

for an hour; keep the burners covered
with the water

WOMAN m LIFE AND M THE KITCHEN
NEcKWEAR FoR FALL.

The hchu type OF neck garniture
continues to be widely endorsed by
Paris dressnalxers. and it is likely that
this influence viii be reelected in this
country. The cartridge p1eat now so
favored in Paris neckwear decoration
is another item which bids fair to
prevail
The vogue for scarfs and sto1es Of
fur has inspired neckWear nanufac-
turers to produce similar styles in
satin effects with fancy striped or for
al Innings are particularly prominent
The cape note which served as basis
OF inspiration for spring styles in coll
lasrwiH continue for early fall Types
OF callars for fan will be exceedingly
varied. The tendency toward high
back styles cut low in the front, now
evident in Paris, viii be represented in
the United States, especially in tlne
higher class lines.

proceedings incidental

domination proceedings incidental
thereto.
The debt of New London county is
now $4,000. It is estimated by the
commissioners That a new county home
will have to be built within year or
two at an expense Of $50, 600. Add to
this 100000 for this Mantle bridge
ana the county will face within two
years an Indebtedness of over one
quarter OF q million dollars, which
will mean a three mill tax for county
debts alone. 1t is for this reason that
every taxpayer in New London coun-
ty should be anxious to save $50, GOO to
$4,000 in the construction of this Nj
antic bridge if it can possibly be done.
The county commissioners have is
sued a call to the three senators and
80 representatives who compose the
New London county delegation of the
1915 legislature to meet at the court
house at Norwich at IL a. m. on Tues
day next, June 9th, to take action, as
am informed, upon the appropriation
for this bridge. Chapter 339 of the
public acts of 1915 apparently gives the
delegation the power to appropriate
for a county purpose Of this kind.
It is for this reason that I write to
call to the peoples attention the i'm
portance of this meeting, to urge every
representative and senator to be pres
ent, to vote as his best judgment may
direct, and to express the hope that
an opportunity may be given by that
meeting to the interested taxpayers of
the county outside OF the delegation to
be heard upon the proposition before
action is taken. I would further re-
specially suggest that it might be the
part of wisdom for that meeting to
defer action on the matter until after
the legislature convenes in January,
1917. In this event the state might be
gotten to assume the whole or a part
of the expense of constructing this
bridge, but it is certain that if tEle
county ties itself up now on a 500, 900
contract the state legislature win never
take the burden off the county's back.
Should the next legislature refuse to
pay any part toward the new bridge
why shouldn't the county then pro-
coed to build this bridge in the most
| economical way? It may be argued
that the governments order won't per-
NIT of this delay. The answer to this
\ is that the government, whatever may
have been the cause of its first pass
ing the order in this case, in similar
cases has often granted an extension
of time as the exigencies OF the par
/ ticular situation required, and could
| doubtless be persuaded to do SO in this
case.
hope, therefore, that the people OF
4 the county viii realize the Significance
of this situation and win urge theil
| senators and Representatives and look
to them on Tuesday to table this prop
osition until after the state legislature
has convened in January, 1917.
Very respectfully yours,

be SO attracted an opportunity to get
securely located and become financially
sound, thereby adding proportionately
to the industrial development of the
town as well as the grand list?
The vital thing for Norwich just
now that l. has decided to take full
advantage of it's destiny, is what it is
to be, rather than what it is, or what It
has been. What it is to be rests in a
large measure with the citizens whose
names now appear upon its voting list,
and whether by their will as expressed
in said meetings the same spirit still
lives as was so abundantly manifested
by our forefathers who needed the call
of 1776, when General Israel Putnam
led the troops of eastern Connecticut
to save the day at Lexington, and
again when our beloved Governor
Buckingham upheld the integrity of
Norwich ana the state Of Connecticut
in 1861.
It is the Norwich character that must
be considered in dealing with the
question of the development of Nor
witch, il there is a hindrance now to
progress in Norwich.
Let every loyal son attend the special
town meeting Monday night and by
voice and vote see to 1t that when
| Norwich gives her word it is as good
as her bond.

The City Would Suffer from Such
Action.

Mr.. Editor: AS a citizen of this town
am. deeply interested in the outcome
Of the town meeting called for A1ondey
evening, and feel that this is = very
important meeting for every citizen
and especially merchants of our city.
The labor union is calling this meet
ing for what special purpose? Simply
to get even with the Cross company Of
Worcester, Mass, for running now an
open shop, and to accomplish this end
they are trying to raise the taxes of
the Winchester Woolen company. What
will be the result for the town if ahey
accomplish their purpose next Monday
evening?
It will simply mean that for years
to come no outside capital can be in
terested to purchase propert yhere and
erect manufacturing plants, If labor is
going to dominate how they shall act.
That being the case, win not 1aborers
in the long run lose more from a
money standpoint in keeping outside
capital away than it viii to leave the
Winchester Wcolen company's tax rate
alone?
hope every union man win think
this matter over carefully before next
Monday evening, and then vote for
what he considers is the best interest
