WORN BLANKETS.

Lay smoothly upon the thin place a piece of used merino underwear and pin amply and securely Then begin at the lowest edge and stitch with the cessive1y, a quarter of an inch apart, until the extenteof the patch Is reach ed, withdrawing the pins as you pro- ceed. This is quickly done. and is a most satisfactory method. Do not work around and around, as the goods will bulge in the middle, and half the design of the patch. that of neatness, will be failure. Should the se1vage be frayed, turn the nerirA over it, in- cluding it, and stitch as directed. It is not necessary to break the machine thread for each row. Stich the way of the stripes.

This week has thus far been pro- life in automobile fatalities in this state. Because of reckless driving sew in the hospital These things make our new automobile law look as fool ish as the old one. Weak laws weak ly enforced are an abomination. The Connecticut automobile law does not give the protection that was hoped for, but this state has never been deeply concerned over automobile kill ings. There is excitement only when Ia criminal is about to pay the penalty and only then, is there a roar of pro- test to the governor. When little -chi1- dren, women and useful men and c;ti- zenS are struck down in he streets by the modern .juggernauts the only pro- test comes from their families and an occasional newspaper.

Turn sleeve wrong side out and turn the extra width of the cuff in and wip to sleeve.
