claims or the efforts which Great Britain has made concerning the con- tro1 of the North sea, German war ships have not found the English so vigilant that they have not dared to venture forth. but invariably one &C., ton has closely followed. another, whether it was a raid by aeroplanes or by destroyers, the idea of the Ger mans being to catch the British off their guard and they have repeatedly succeeded. even as they did on this re- cent Suffolk attack.
 By this latest raid, in which so far as known only one ship took part. there was an insignificant amount of damage done. Possibly it was not ex- pected that there would be any greater results, since the attackers must have been planning to show that the pro- lection of the British coast is not what it has been cracked up to be. and ev- cry instance where an enemy vessel carries out such a stunt at least adds to the worry of a people who have all ready complained many times because their fleet has not been able to put stop to such activities.

THAT HUNGER STRIKE,

That hunger strike which is being resorted to by that New York wom- an, who having been convicted of vio- lating the law regarding the circula- ton of certain literature, is of course being adopted for the purpose of giv- Ing increased publicity to the cause in which she is interested, but there is no reason to believe that the course which she is pursuing will bring about her release from jail before the time fixed for 1t by her sentence.
 She IS making a fight against the law. She considers that because she thinks differently that the law ought not to exist or that it is unconstitu- donal, but instead of devoting her eff forts to bringing about a change in the law. she proceeds to show her de- fance thereof, and a determination not to obey it, and even when convicted af- ter a full and impartial trial, where all her rights were carefully guarded, she offers resistance to the punishment meted out for her deliberate violation by refusing to eat. but from all indi- cations her health is bound to suffer the consequences of her policy. She is frightening no one by her actions, and while she may be getting a cer- obtained at tremendous cost when as good results if not better could be secured through an educational cam paign in behalf of the subject in which she is so greatly interested. She doesn't like the existing law but She makes a mistake in deliberately violating it as long as it exists, instead of devoting her energies to securing it's removal or amendment.

PEGTOP SKIRTS.

Remember the old pegtop skirt of several seasons back? Well, it's com ing in again, perhaps not quite so ex- aggerated as formerly, but nevertheless it's pegtop. The skirt bottom is not too narrow, but the hips are widef, and the pegtop effect is arrived at in sev- eral different ways. Umbrella draper ies, puffed panniers and deep tucks around the hem of the skirt which flares at the hips give this upside down appearance. Skirts that hike in front are seen on some afternoon and evening dresses The uneven hem line is still apparent. As to sports skirts, straight lines reign supreme. No more circular skirts like last years but straight gores occasionally and pleats commonly are seen in sports fabrics. Unusual effects are gained by clever pleating arrangements. For in stance, a black skirt with a brilliantly colored stripe will have the stripe so folded in under the pleats that it shows only when the wearer walks. Other plafds are treated in such a manner that they appear striped until the pleats break in walking. Very largely figured tussores are being used for the advance sports skirts, as we'll as plaid and striped taffetas, madras, colored fiannels and velours. Bags to match the skirts are often sold with them.

EYE OPENER TO CANADA.

When the war broke out Canada was not slow to realize the opportu- nifty as well as the duty that was be- lore it. It was expected that it would be called upon to furnish large quan- hties of supplies as we'll as it's quota of men for the army and it was not slow in taking the steps which would make it possible to do what was re- quired of it, and the result is that the Dominion is doing a greater business than it ever did before.
 Before the war opened the imports of Canada exceeded it's imports by $500, ,0O0,0 ,000 and just what the war has meant to it is shown by the fact that in the past year there was an excess of exports to the amount of $2S00 000,- poo, the total export business for the year reaching billion dollars. In re- view of the financial condition of Can- ada it is claimed that almost all indi- Viduals there are gaining by the war except those who have a fixed income. This can be seen by the fact that its bank deposits have increased by near ly a quarter of billion dollars in the past two and a half years. Almost every industry is thriving and the volume of business has been so great that it was impossible tp handle it there and orders amounting to mill lions of dollars have been turned over to plants in this country.
 Canada recognizes of course that it Is the war which has brought about this situation. It nevertheless has been the means of demonstrating that that country can do a greater man. ufacturing business than it has in the past and it is highly probable that the lessons which have been learned will be put to good use even after peace has been declared. The war has been an eye opener to Canada

WELL KEPT HANDS.

Well kept hands are always an add ed charm. no matter how many others a girl may possess, and a months treatment will make a big hnprove- ment in any hands.
 Each night just before retiring scrub the hands in water as hot as can be comfortably borne, then rinse in several warm waters and quickly after drying and before the skin gets cool rub in warm olive oil or cocoa butter (either is very nourishing to the slzin). Work and rub the hands together in the same manner as when washing them.
 Do this for about ten minutes. then dust them well with good quality cornstarch and slip on old loose gloves with little tip cut off each finger, as hands so incased need ventilation.

TIMELY WARNING.

This country cannot help manifest ing an interest in the efforts which are being made in Mexico to draw up new constitution, for while one country may have a perfect right to do as it pleases concerning it's laws, it must be remembered that it must not overlook its responsibilities when it comes to giving the proper protec- ton to the rights Of the subjects of other countries.
 This is the reason why Secretary Lansing has addressed a letter to the head of the Mexican de facto govern ment relative to the work of the dele gates who are drafting new consti- tuition, for it is plain from the plans which are being made what the effect is going to be upon American inter ests already established in that coun- try.
 Mexico certainly has many problems to solve. It needs to give them serf- ous attention. It needs to bring about the correction of abuses which have too long existed in that republic and at the same time encourage the devel- opment of it's natural resources. but while it is doing this it is but right that it should give consideration to features which are likely to cause them increased instead of less trou- ble. It is but proper that Mexico. the same as any other country, should deal fairly with foreigners who have money invested there. Such is for it's own interests and it should welcome whatever criticism which bears upon this point while it Is endeavoring to improve it's situation. Mexico cannot now claim that it has not received warning when about to take a step which later might cause regret.

ENDING THE DRUG HABIT.

Interest cannot fail to attach itseli to the efforts which are being made by a former medical director of the United States navy to give a thor ough test to a method which he has discovered for the treatment of drug addicts. Throughout the country. ever since the Harrison drug act has been put into force, as well as before though to a lesser degree. hospitals have been filled with those who have been seeking a cure for the dope habit. There have been many instances where the facilities for caring for such cases were insufficient to accommodate all who desired to break away from for mer practices.
 The treatment of such cases has re- quired much time and has been ac- companied by varying results, but 1t is claimed that by this plan which has been hit upon by this doctor, and which he was working out quietly in order to establish its efficacy beyond a doubt. the results are obtained much quicker and that the patients show surprising gains following brief treat ment.
 What the method is has not been disclosed. In fact it is claimed that it has not as yet undergone sufficient tests to permit of a statement regard ing it. although in the cases where tried it has thus far proved a decided success. That it will prove to be all that is claimed for it must be the hope of humanity. The demoralizing effect of the drug habit is such that there can be nothing but pity for those who have gotten into its clutches and if there is a better method than now used for freeing people from such bondage it cannot come a minute too soon. Drug soaked humanity needs it as it never did before.

FOR THE CRIB.

A very pretty crib over and pillow is made of flesh co1ored poplin Of course the cover is padded to make it sufficiently warm; but the most inter esting part of the cover is the design embroidered on it. Little Bo-Peep and her sheep have been used as the motif for both the pillow and the cover. The design is outlined in old rose and the animals eyes are design ed by beads. If you wish to make such set for a youngsters birthday gift you can get your design from any nursery book.
 If you wish you can add to the sea and make side pads for the crib, us- ing the same design to decorate them. Pads of this sort are very practical for they do the services of a screen by keeping drafts from the occupant of the crib

You can't escape the belt question at present. There are too many che mise frocxs and slipover blouses here and coming which are the better for a distinctive belt to hold in the fullness at the wearer'S most becoming waist
 line Now there are some new belts of satin with old fashioned belt buckles of gold and silver set with colored stones. Tan suede leather belts with printed designs in Paisley patterns are up to date. Sash belts are in keeping with the soft fabrics which they en- circle. Some have strips of Chinese embroidery across the front and are finished in the ends with Chinese tas- sells or fringe. A crush belt of silver ribbon is embroidered with chenille flowers. Then, of course, there are bead belts galore, some partly of suede leather with beaded clasps and slides.

TORTOISE SHELL.

Now that tortoise shell has once more come into public favor, it is we'll to know a way iii which to clean and polish 1t. When tortoise shell loses it's luster from wear the polished sur face may be restored to its original condition by carefully rubbing it with powdered rottenstone and oil. The rottenstone should be very carefully sifted through the finest muslin. When all scratches on the surface of the tor toise shell are thus removed a bril- liant polish may be given it by apply ing friction with a piece of soft leather to which some jewellers rouge has been applied

WORRYING ENGLAND.

Just about the time the impression Is given that Great Britain is exer- cising a closer oversight in the North sea and is making it's blockade felt, as indicated by the battle between the destroyers, another German warship which remained so far away from the coast that it could not be seen and some of it's shots failed to reach land dashes through the British vessels doing guard duty, gives another scare to the Suffolk coast and gets away without molestation.
 This shows the difference between the two nations for regardless of the

A fl year old boy, recently brought before a judge for vagrancy, was told he might go free if he got out of town. So they turned him loose-although he didn't have a penny and had no EI5- ible means of getting one. He sought shelter in switchn5 ! shanty, in railroad yard, whither hs had gone to hop a freight for other regions.
 The switchman sIumbered. Ths boy hit him over the head with an iron weight and took his watch and coin. Men picked up the switchman later. dead, where he had dragged himself across the tracks.
 The first impulse, in a moment of horror, is to condemn the boy-for his act is objectionable.
 The second impulse is to reflect that the boy would not have been in posi- ton to commit the crime had the law not said to him, in effect:
 You may escape the consequences of your last crime by committing an other!"
 He had to steal a ride or steal a meal, or both.
 The boy, knowing he must violate law, decided on robbng his sleeping benefactor, perhaps not intending his blow to prove fatal.
 There is no excuse for the boy-cer- tainly not!
 But neither is there any excuse for the system that sent him forth with orders to remain a, criminal!
 If we expect boys or men to obey the law, we must furnish them O means of living within the law Bridgeport Standard.

THE BRIDE AND HER RING.

Not so many years back a bride would have been thought lacking in a sense of decency to choose anything but the plain circlet of gold for her wedding ring. In fact, she didn't have any choice. Now she has quite a little to say in the ring which she will wear flor better or worse" It may be plat and other jewelry. It may be gold edged modestly with a tiny rim of platinum 1t may be chased with the myrtle leaves dedicated to Venus; 1t may be a circ1et of diamonds. One wonderfully beautiful diamond we'd ding circlet is flexible, with a gem set in each link of the ring.

pile of indebtedness. But the city au- ditor points out in his report that the citys debt, with interest charges, al- ready amounts to $5,7O5,8O and that the addition to this of $3,294,200 would bring the debt up to the extreme linn it allowed by the law of the state.
 Under the circumstances the pro- posed bond issue of $6,OOO,00O would put the city's debt $3,000,O00 above the limit which has been set for sound financing.
 In order to permit Bridgeport to ex- ceed the speed limit for debt in this manner, it would be necessary to ob- tain a special legislative enactment.
 To obtain such an enactment with out giving the voters of Bridgeport the power to accept or reject it at the polls would be absolute treason to the taxpaye Telegram.
