NEW LAW FOR AUTO LIGHTS.

IL is only a few days now before the new automobile Jaw concerning ,lighfs will go into effect for on July first all owners of motor cars must comply with the new regulations. Daz- zItng headlights have been the cause of mum berless accidents. They have caused confusion not only to drivers -af other cars but to pedestrians so- ing . in the opposite direction and there has long been a crying need for restrictions.
 The last general assembly tgaye- heed t6 the demands which were presented h bphaIf of this change and passed a aw which requires that the glaring g ights must go and that spot lights must not be used when an approach ing vehicle is in sight unless rays are projected directly on the ground not exceeding 30 fleet iii advance of the vehicle using it and then to the right of the center of the highway.
 In connection with the compliance with and the enforcement of the law the department of motor vehicles of the state has been making tests of patented lights and has drawn up a list of those which can be used and which will meet requirements. In variably the lights which are in use on motor cars can be used if they are
 
 use the lenses which are so construct Rd as to eliminate the glare, so that the change will not be one Of great expense for auto owners, but it is inn pCrtant that each and every owner should make himself acquainted with the provisions of the law and see that his car is properly equipped before he attempts to use it after July first Many cars are already bearing the accepted lenses, the owners having appreciated the importance of making -ha change while it could be done without confusion and delay
 The legislation has been enacted in behalf of increased highway safety and 1t is important that every owner If such a vehicle should see that he 1oes his part in contributing thereto, for those who fail to comply will be made to thoigh it may entail needless . .xpense.

CANNING LESSONS
Saving Food.

Care should be taken to distinguish bs~Ween containers intended for the distribution of food products and those used for canning and preserv- ing, says todays bulletin of the Ma tional Emergency Food Garden Com mission of Washington. D. C., which is cooperating with this paper in a campaign to conserve the food of the country. The free canning primer is ready for all who send for it.
 The attention of home canners is now being directed to the shorta se of tin and the demand for glass jars for summer canning operations. At the same time efforts are being made to encourage the use of paper or fibre containers for all purposes for which their use is practicable. These two things should not be allowed to bring about confusion It must be remem- bered that fibre cannot be used in canning operations which require the sterilizins of vegeta bles or fruits in hot water or steam. For this purpose glass or tin is essential. Paper con tainers are suggested by the United States Department of Commerce for storing jellies and such preserves as are cooked before packing, as in the open kettle method, although the user should be satisfied that the container is of a type that will properly pre- serve the contents. Experiments made without investigation may prove costly.
 The use of fibre containers is rec commended for the distribution of var ious products from dealer to con sumner Some of these are milk and cream, ice cream syrup and moIasses, oysters, minCemeat, pickles vinegar, salads, sauerkraut, bulk-olives, and reishes. For delivery purposes the fibre container may also be used for jellies and preserves.
 The shortage of tin hSs increased the price for glass jars and nlcV-i l. facturers are being urged to mini possible to substitute paper or fibre containers. Housekeepers may helr in this economy but they must not dc it at the risk of having their home canned products spoiled by made quate protection.

cRoWDiNe NORWAY HARD.

Scandina vian countries have suf- Sered heavily through the destruction of their vessels by the ruthless Ger man submarine warfare. Norway has felt the effects much more than has Sweden and it has not only beer prop erty which has been sent to the bot tom but many lives have also been lost while engaged in a legitimate trade.
 Norway has experienced treatment which could have been no worse had it actually entered the war against Germany. It is experiencing no re- spect for it's rights which are not be- ing obtained by belligerent nations But in addition to the attacks which are being made upon it's shipping by the submarines, there has just been , unearthed in that country a German plot for the blowing up of still more vessels by sonceaIing explosives in the cargoes which were expected to bring about the destruction of cargo carriers at far less expense than that entailed in the torpedoing of them The scheme of concealing a ton or more of such explosives in Jumps of artificial coal is much the same sort of a practice that was carried on in this country, while it was doing its utmost to maintain neutrality, when bombs were placed in merchantmen carrying shipments to European coun- tries for the purpose of causing fires and explosions after they had gotten to sea.
 Norway therefore finds itself in much the same position that this country was placed. The evidence shows that German intrigue is always at work and there is no surprise that the Norwegian people are greatly in- censed over the discovery. As long as it refrains from taking steps to put an end to such operations Nor way can expect that they will be con- tinued. Its rights will be trampled

no desire for such an establishment Is expressed by those most concerned
 Fortunately our law provides wa for halting these efforts. There is first the appeal to the commissioners, and it can be said of these gentlemen that they rarely grant a transfer when the sentiment is strongly against locating in a residential neighborhood.
 Even though the commissioners see fit to grant the change, there is still a chance to review the situation in the superior court. That tribunal will nor allow new locations when it is clear that the evidence supports the claims at law. When it can be proven that
 locality is largely residential. or Co nor properly policed, or there are saloons enough the court will not approve of the location for saloon purposes.
 The people of the northwestern gee- ton should see to 1t when the hearing is held that they are strongly repre- sented before the commissioners. They need not all testify. but they can show by their presence that while Bridge port, as yet, believes in license, there are sections it would keep free of sa- lloons.-Bridgepor Telegram.

TAKING CARE OF THE NEuTRALs

Whatever fears may exist among
 the neutral nations of Europe which
 have been getting a certain portion of their foodstuffs from this country re-
 garding the authority which has been
 granted under the espionage act for the withholding of supplies, the expla- nation which the president has given
 of the working of the export council
 makes it evident that it is not the purpose Of the United States to work any hardship upon these small nations which they do not deserve.
 There can be no question but what the powers granted under the national legislation will be put into effect just as soon as 1t Is determined that the nations which are receiving goods from this country are turning them ever to the enemy. oi' are sending an equivalent which. can be released be- cause of the amount of supplies which is obtained from tGe United States.
 It can be expected by those coun-
 tries that the demands of America
 will be looked after first. It can be
 expected that the requirements of our
 allies will get serious consideration
 but it can also be anticipated that the
 needs of the neutral nations which
 surround the belligerents. of Europe
 will likewise get proper treatment the intention being to supply them ''as
 nearly in proportion to their needs as
 the amount to be divided will permit" :"
 This Of course means that this coun-
 try is going to get the best iuforna-
 ton obtainable in regard to the needs
 of the neutraIs as well as of the al
 lies. It may not take the unsupported statement of those countries without thorough investigation or without some assurances that such foodstuffs as It sends to them will not be trans shipped to the central powers. It is forced to do this for it's own protec- ton. It cannot be expected that this country is going to continue in state of war with Germany and still send it support which will enable it to pro- long the fight, just because certain neutral nations are anxious to profit from the trade which they can carry on.

The power of music has long been
extolled by people who have made
that field of art their chosen work.
What is of unusual interest, however,
is the fact that an appreciation of its
value as a builder of strength and
courage was voiced by an officer in
the army. At the opening day of the
officers training camp at Plattsburg,
n. Y, General Bell, one of the officers
at the head of the training corps, made
an address before the men gathered
there, emphasizing the seriousness of
the work undertaken by them. During
the course of the talk he made the fol-
lowing statements:
"a soldier must think only of his
duty and do 1t In way that all who
survive him will be proud of the way
he gave up his life. You know whom

Tomas for the Greedy Fish.

The fish that swallows bait and hook
Is not JOY to the angler. Getting
the hook out is no easy task. But the
task is slmplified by using a handy
device just invented and described in
the Popular Science Monthly.
The device is made from one piece
of elastic steel wire bent in the shape
of pair of tongs. The ends Of the
two arms of the tongs are sharpened
to a point. When a fish has been
caught which has swallowed the hook,
the arms Of the tongs are compressed
and their ends are inserted in the
fish's mouth. The arms will then
spring apart and hold the jaws open.
