JOHN H. ALLEN COMMISSIONED
 AS LIEUTENANT !
Took the Six Weeks Train ing Course for Officers,
 at Plattsburg.

Word received over the long dis tance telephone yesterday by Mrs. w. ID. Allen of Lenox avenue from her son John H. Allen informed her of the fact that he had just been made a Second Lieutenant. Young cdr. Ali len enlisted on July IS the day before he attained his majority and left for the officers training camp at Platts- burg to take a six weeks course.
 H& parents expected that after spending this time in the training camp he would return to Holy Cross College as a military instructor and also finish out his senior year as he would have graduated in December and received his degree. He decided that the better thing to do was to go straight into the army and finish his education when he was through fight ing, that he could serve his country best in this way.
 He is to return to this city very shortly and will spend a few days with his parents, before leaving fol Camp Taylor in Louisville, Ky, where he is to be stationed for a while Young MT. Allen is a graduate of the Bridgeport High school, 1915, and has many friends in this city who will be | pleased to hear of his promouon.

U. s. WILL START
 CAMP A|CN TO AID ALL HOUSEWIVES

The Bureau of Markets of the United States Department of Agricu1- ture has sent two representatives to this city, K. A. Spilan and J. W. Strowbridge, who will work in con- junction with the local post office to start a campaign to further the par cells post delivery system in regard to farm products. Placards are to be placed in all prominent places, and mailing cards are to be distributed among the housewives of the city calling their attention to the articles obtainable from the producers.
 The cards are regular postcard size and have place for the name and ad- dress and a list of products such as butter, eggs, dressed poultry, fruits, vegetables, hams, nuts, potatoes and preserves, and space for sugge- stions. These will be filled out and deposited in places to be designated for collection. A list of farmers in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire and Eastern New York is being compiled and will be sent to the housewives who have re- turned the cards stating their needs. Other details are being worked out and it is expected that a way to ma terially aid the reduction of the high cost of living has been found.

GOOD TO KNOW.

Napkin cases may be made out of odds and ends, and in these cases each set of napkins can be kept to- gether. To make the napkin cases take two pieces of linen or dainty cretonne 26 inches long and about eight inches wide. Bind all of the edges with white linen tape. Cut one end in flap shape and sew on a snap and snap fastener or make a button loop and sew on a button.
 Talcum powder boxes look much better if they are covered, and a scrap of leftover linen made into a bag and lightly decorated with a little design makes a very attractive cover. The bottom of the bag is double and fitted with a strip of card board to make it a little f1rmer and to form a base.
 The neck of the bag is drawn up with a ribbon run in and out of eyelet | holes near the top. If one wants to l make them very fancy they can be | made in the same way but out of ribbon or pieces of silk and edged with a narrow lace edge.

FOR WOMAN SUFFRAGE.

The Connecticut State Federation of Labor, in convention assembled at New London. last week, went on re- cord endorsing the Susan B. Anthony federal amendment to the constitu- tion and thus confirmed as a state or ganization the action previously taken by many of the local unions through out the state.
 The resolution adopted at the con- vention urges the United States Sena- tors from Connecticut to vote for the federal women suffrage amendment and provides for the transmission of telegrams from the convention to each of the Senators and to President Will son urging the immediate passage of the amendment, also that copies of the resolution be sent to Senator Lodge, Republican leader, and to the Senator leading the Democratic forces.

AUTUMN SPORTS CLOTHES

A good-looking rig for autumn wear on the links or for those long and colorful hikes, which probably will be all the more popular this year because of the Sunday ruling, con sists of sweater in one of the dark CT shades, together with a plaid wool skirt, low-heeled oxfords and a chic sailor Black and white, natural and brown and blue and gray are some of the more popular color combina- tions Smart woolen socks with col or introduced in the clockings are the correct thing for wear with this type of costume both from the stand point of appearance and comfort. The shops at present have a varied and good assortment of all the essential sports clothes for fall. The skirts in most instances are as scant as pleating will allow and many of them are accordion pleated. Sailors, when they are becoming, should be worn for they are by far the smartest top ping for the sports rig. A shop in
 Hartford recently displayed a whole windowful of brown sailors in all shapes and sizes Both shades and
 shapes stamped these as being fa1 l from the usual.

and foreign particles more readily than the face and hands that we wash several times daily.
 Good brushing removes some of this, but for thoroughly cleansing the hair and scalp we must depend on the weekly bath of the hair. A good wash for the hair is the following:
 A Simple Hair Wash.
 Thoroughly mix one tablespoonful each of salt, glycerine, borax and powdered sulphur dissolving the mix ture in one quart Of soft water or rain water Let this stand for a week, shaking every day. This water strain ed is one of the best washes for oily hair.
 A simpler wash is to add one heap ing teaspoonfuI of baking soda to one quart of soft water. Wash the hair thoroughly in it. Then rinse the hair in a quart of water to which one tablespoonful of salt has been added. Wash again and rinse in clear water twice.
 For Removing Oil.
 Another simple remedy to remove oil from the hair and to stimulate a healthy, clean scalp is to rub ordinary table salt into the hair~three times a for a few weeks.
 Here is a remedy that may be ap- piled to oily hair:
 cupfuls of distilled or rain water
 1 tablespoonful bicorbonate of soda
 ounces of eau de cologne.
 Mix well and keep corked after it is bottled.
 Rub this into the scalp with the tips of the fingers several times a week and it will help wonderfully to check oiliness

 If, therefore, you want your hair to

 admired there are two rules to ob-

 If you will do these things and then rub the hair with the palms of your hands after washing, you can have as lovely a gloss as any beauty who de- votes most of her time to the care of her person.
