Where Did They Find It7

NEW YORK, March I'm the alb
sence Of detailed information as to
just how the government obtained
the complete information Of German
plotting against the United States,
shipping men here were speculating
today on the possibility of some of it
having been obtained when the liner
Frederik VII was searched at Halifax.
The baggage Of Count Won Bern
storf and other member OF the Ger
man party was thoroughly examined
at Halifax. The chance that it may
have yielded some assistance to this
government in definitely establishing
the plot, was obviously suggested by
the statement Of Secretary Lansing
that the Zimmerman letter came into
the possession Of authorities this
week" The Frederik VIII sailed
from Halifax Tuesday.
Knowing the thoroughness with
which the British authorities conduct
their search of vessels, steamship
men expressed the belief that some
code may have been found which
made it possible to decipher the
documents in possession OF the United
| States.

HACKING UP" THE CLOCK.

Why not advance the clocks in this country an hour during the summer?
 Would we not all be better off,
 Meriden Journal.
 Imagine the jumbled up mess that would result from moving the clock an hour ahead for no reason other than to get people out of bed earlier in the morning. If one who is accustomed to start the day at six wants to start it at five does it make it easier for him to get up when he looks at clock that he knows is lying to him? Supposing you arrange with someone to meet you at one o'clock. AS railroad time and your time would be an hour apart how would the other party know which time you meant unless a1 explanation accompanied the arrangement? It is understood that the railroads would not shift their timetables.
 A person who cannot get out of bed at six in the morning unless he sees seven o'clock staring him in the face should see doctor.

COAL RIG ES.

Anthracite coal, stove and nut sizes, is retailing at $9. 50 ton; egg size at $9.25 and pea size at $8. 50.
 A number of Hartford retail coal dealers dropped the price from SIC to $9 ton Monday, but none of them would contract for future orders at that price as they were all rather apprehensive that the price would soon go up again. The dealers say it is impossible to say what is going to happen to coal prices, but the indica. ticns are the railroads will be per- mitted to add about l 5 to 90 per cent to the freight rates and the miners have been promised bonuses in May, which will raise the prices at the mines. One of the chief factors in the l.igh price of coal just now is the car shortage on the railroads. -
 Winsted Citizen.
 ~ The freight rate on coal to Hartford is fifty cents ton less than to Canaan i'll other words, the Canaan coal dealers pay fifty cents ton more than tht Hartford dealers. And the people here kick because they have to pay $9 a tor for coal.

 4g the good things of the country with those who do not possess them was the return of the "No Trespassing" signs, backed up by an enthusiastic dog that knows what "Sic lem" means. And yet, the people who trespass upon the property of country residents, leaving destruction in their wake, cannot understand why ruralists are so mean, small and stingy, and why so much land is posted. Very little country property would be posted if people, instead of abusing the privileges, would treat country folks as human beings aud practice the golden rule.

SUFFRAGE AND ExPEDIENcY.

The great war worked a swift trans formation in the attitude of the Eng fish public toward woman suffrage. Opposition was voiced in many ways
 during the old days
 ., of riots and win

 it was grounded, In England to tho notant element Carry on the war. of the opposition at
 least, in expedien- cy. Objectors argued that as woman did not do the work of men in the na- tion she had no just claim to full po- litical power and privileges with men. Military duty was cited as a clinching argument. Sending troops to the con- tinent, to India, Africa and America was the only form of military service with which the English masses were familiar. To shoulder arms and march away was not a conceivable, much less a becoming, spectacle for women. This war, however, brought a burden of duty upon shoulders which the female sex could mobilize. Industries which contributed to war power utilized wo- mems strength of physique and brain, her deftness, courage and zeal, and she bore the test of devotion ill way to put men slackers to shame. Public eX- pediency is a powerful element in civic affairs. Perhaps women have not real ly saved England, but they have helped to minimize the grave evil of shortage in man power. The former premier, Asquith, makes bold to say that the war could not be carried on without them. If merely a compliment, it is surely one which the suffragists and their fair minded brothers will not for get after the war is over.

Politics and Tobacco.

Something like half a century ago a man named Dan Bradley started the custom in a little cigar store in Brook lyn of keeping a box of smoking to- bacco on the counter, with a sign above it saying, "Fill your pipe" Part ly on the strength of his popularity, due in no small degree to the free fill ings for a pipe, Bradley ran independ- ently for the state senate and was elect ed as against the regular candidate.
 "Ffve thousand clay pipes did the trick for Dan" was a saying at the time
 "A man would have to give away au- tomobiles to get elected to the senate nowadays" observed one of the new school of politicians.

Commenting on recruiting methods the Chicago Daily News observes: Patriotic Americans are not likely to view with equanimity the spectacle of young women going about striving to induce young men to join the national guard. One gathers that all concerned obtain considerable amusement from the operation of this recruiting device. The young women are described as turing prospective soldiers to enlist. Turing men to enlist is not the proper way of providing the-nation with nec- essary military forces" The News might have said with truth that it Is the improper way, fraud on the army, to pad the ranks with individ- uals having no heart in the work.

 tion for this sort of unhappiness is to be found in keeping sharp eye-on no account a sharp tongue-on children when they are be- ginning to study too hard, and to have some diverting relaxation at hand for them when the point is reached at which study is no longer productive. Children sometimes muddle for hours over lessons without getting any clear idea, and when all the nervous force they put into their study is wasted. Sometimes that is because they have not learned how to think and some bNNduSC ho OllC lldS dIOuSGu lu6lI interest in that study. They just hate algebra or civil government, and in that frame of mind the effort they put on it is almost sure to be wasted. The remedy in that case is not more study, but either a better understanding or more play to rest tired brain and nerves. But the application of the remedy requires very close and sym pathetic understanding of the child, and parents sometimes find that harder with their children than outsiders" !" This is not pleasant theorizing, but un- pleasant facts known to all parents, laymen and school officers. The prob lem is to agree upon some satisfactory method of giving the outsiders" free hand at sympathetic understanding.

FLAG FLYING.
for coal.

There is right and wrong of doing everything, and trip through the state will convince one that, if the display of flags counts for anything, the people are extremely patriotic, yet many are not familiar with the way in which the American flag should be displayed, in accordance with the code established by the government for it's own use.
 It is not expected that people will put up the flags at sunrise and take them down at sunset, nor fly them on stormy days, unless they wish to, but the principal difficulty that confronts householders who have flags here con. cerns the way that the union, or stars are placed. When the flag is put in the window or against tile wall of a house the stars should be on the left if the stripes are horizontal and on the right if the stripes are vertical. When the flag is used as banner in the street it should have the stars to the north on streets running east and west and to the east ill streets running north and south.
 Put your flag out every day, if you can, and take it in every night. When you put it out or take it in be sure that the flag does not touch the ground.
Connecticut western news., 1917-04-26

It is patriotic to put out the flag, but it is disrespectful to Old Glory to leave it out for rains to soak and gales to pound until all its "heaven born" eff fulgence is destroyed. The. government flag rules require that it be hoisted at sunrise and lowered at sunset. Its beauty is lost in darkness, and damp ruins its brightness.
