The flooded Piave is said to be giving the Italians much the same lort of trouble that 1t did the Aus lrians.

MYSTERY OF THE LOST BILL

''Ths druggist was telling me the
 other day that one of his clerks was
 accused of stealing $50 from a woman
 customer. The clerk swore he didn't
 steal the money, but the woman vowed
 that he did. He was dismissed and
 had trouble getting another job. And
 then the woman found the whole $50
 in the lining of her huff and was ashamed to contest"
 T heard of that case at the time" the niece commented. The woman found the money that very night be- fore the clerk had lost his place but she was too big a coward to go to the druggist and admit that she had been mistaken"
 I don't see how anybody can be so cowardly," the woman of the house continued. Tn the first place, don't see how any self respecting person is absolutely sure. And then if she is in the wrong about 1t I should think it would give her the greatest pleasure to go straight to the accused inI- vidual and beg his pardon"
 Well, what are you going to do about your $10?" the niece wanted to
 know Are you going to settle for the groceries and let the matter drop? Or are you going to take out war rant TOT the p0y arrest, Or What? That sounds terrible. The boys larrest! He'd lose his position and l everything. And just think how his 1 mother and sisters would feel Even 1 if he did take it, I believe I'd better 1 let the matter rest. I wouldn't cause all that distress to his family for the l sake of few dollars. And if let him 1 of this time perhaps he'll reform mad
 never steal again.
 1 ''I guess I'll go now and phone the l grocer to let 1t drop---that can't find 1 the money, though I've searched the house for q week, but that unless 1 someone had actually seen the boy 1 take it won't accuse him of it and that I'll come over and pay for those groceries this afternoon"
 l As the woman Of the house ap-
 preached the telephone it began to l ring. She unlocked the receiver and said Hello" Then she listened close l ly, punctuating th silence with an oc-
 casional and eager "Yes-yes" l As the receiver clicked on it's hook l the woman of the house turned to her niece. Well, what do you think ?' 1 she laughed, That was the Blink l laundry. The man says that in the
 pocket of one of lanes little dresses 1 they found 8 small red purse with a $10 bfll!"-Chicago News.

BETTER USE AVAILABLE LINE.

There Is nothing to indicate that the railroad administration is dis. posed to comply with tho appeal for government funds for the purpose of completing the Southern New Eng land railroad planned to operate Iii connection with the Central Vermont between Palmer and Providence and on which line much preliminary work has already been done. On the other hand the fact that the administration has consented to reopen the case in order that a further appeal may be made indicates that it is spen to proof of the advisability ofP making such an expendlturs as is desired
 It has not been netej since the i1- creased demands were made upon the railroads that the Central Yer mont has not been able to handle all the business that has been thrown in Us direction. If such was the case it must have been because of a lack of rolling stock, so that it does not ap- pear that the road is in need of any new outlet on the southern New Eng 'and coast in order to meet the trans nortqt ton. needs. Such business as riaieht be sent over this new line can all he taken care of over the line be- tween Palmer and New London which now exists. The New London termi- nal is capable of receiving and des- patching all freight and it is much nearer to New York than is Provi- dence.
 This apparently is the decision that had previously been reached by tine administration and it Is certainly ad- visable to make full use of what is already possessed before spending money for extensions which do not appear to be needed. Far more int- portant is the need of increased rail- road equipment

No more senseiess attitude could be taken by the Bridgeport munition workers than to threaten to strike because of the clalfn that they have not received their back pay under the new arrangement of prices.
