are bone dry" and the youngsters
are taking their "bottles filled to

result from the drought is that the

Care should be taken to strain the juice through a fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and remove such blemishes as freckles, sallowness and tan and is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try iti Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up a quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion and massage it daily into the face, neck. arms and hands. It should naturally help to whiten, soften. freshen and bring out the roses and beauty of any skin. It is truly marvellous to smoother rough, red hands.

GIVES DRIVERS CHANCE TO CORRECT FAULTS
Motor Vehicle Commissioner Writes Personal Letters to Offenders.

Motor Vehicle Commissioner Rob- bins E. Stoeckel has established a pre- cedent in writing personal letters to motor vehicle operators, about whom he has received complaints for minor violations of the automobile law. In most cases, if the offense is slight, the commissioner merely informs the of fender that the department has knowledge of the matter and will file it, to be used only in the event of other complaints being received. The motor vehicle department finds that this is a very effective and practical way of dealing with such cases, as the person receiving the letter from the commissioner appreciates the spirz it in which it is written and, a re- suit, usually tries to avoid similar of lenses in the future.
 Commissioner Stoeckel and his dep uty, John B. Macdonald, lay much stress on the cooperation of the pub lie in the enforcement of the new mo- tor vehicle law. They desire persons noting violations of the law to re- port them to the department, be1iev- ing that by this method many viola tions in the country or other places not as we'll policed as city streets will be reduced.
 The new motor vehicle law provides that "any three residents of this state who have witnessed violation of any provision or this act may make an affidavit to that effect, addressed to the commissioner, who, upon receipt of the same, shall give written or yer bal warning to the person alleged to be guilty of such violation, or, in his discretion. may suspend the motor ve- hicle registration or operators license, or both, pending a hearing of the case after which said commissioner shall take such action as he shall deter mine"
 All information received by the de- partment concerning operators is systematically flied away to be avail able at a moments notice. Such complete system of records was not kept under the old automobile law when the administration of the law was in the hands of the secretary of the state, whose various other duties made it practically impossible to him to devote the necessary time to this important detail Every means pro- vided by the new law will be employ cd to secure it's proper enforcement.

FORGED TO INFERIOR
 TROLLEY CAR SERVICE
Electric Road Finds It Impossible to
 Secure Crews.

The reason for the failure of the Connecticut company to improve its accommodations on the main line is stated to have been because of the impossibility to secure motormen and conductors to man the cars, together with the fact that 14 of the open cars are now at Norwich, receiving install lation of double running boards, an order issued some time ago by the public utility commission. The cars have been at the Norwich barn many weeks and it is probable that the en- tire number will not have been equip ped with the latest improvement till late in the summer.
 The company has several open cars stored at the local barn, but they are in no condition to be operated.
 Patrons of the New London and East Lyme Trolley company will have to content themselves with the win ter or hourly schedule in operation. The reason given for the abandon ment of the half hourly trips is be- cause of a falling off of travel, due to automobiles being used, both for pri- vate and public conveyance. = New London Globe.

WELLINGTON GRADE CROSSING
 IS ORDERED CLOSED
State Utilities Commission Acts for Safety of Public.

The public utilities commission has ordered the Central Vermont Railway to close the highway grade crossing located in Wilmington, about two miles north of West Wilmington station and known as Roaring Brook road The highway crosses the main track of the New London Northern division of the Central Vermont Railway be- tween the Willimantfc river and the main highway, leading from Wil1i mantle to Stafford. It joins the main highway between Willimantic and Stafford.
 Public safety requires an alteration in the crossing, known the north erly highway with tracks of the Cen tral Vermont Railway Go. in Staf ford, accordin gto the finding of the commission. The crossing will be dis continued and a new highway con- meeting the northerly highway with the Staffordville and Monson highway, will be substituted. so that traffic from the northerly highway may pass through the new portion of the high way and across the tracks of the Cen tral Vermont Railway Co. at the pres ent grade crossing of the Stafford vile and Monson highway. The ex- pense will be borne by the Central Vermont Railway Go.
