FRILLS AND FURRELoWS.

After several seasons when outdoor ing clothes have been worn from sun rise to sunset it is a relief to find that we may again indulge in frills and fur bellows, in flounces and in the truly feminine frocks in the afternoon and during the evening. And many of these truly girly frocks are on the Dolly Warden order, refiecting the quaint conceits of the 1880 period It is with real enthusiasm that the wo- men have taken up the frocks of pale blue and pink, mauve and yellow or gandie. made with founces and frill- ing, fichus and big sashes. Just the frocks that call for old-timey cameo brooches, lockets and bracelets. and even the sash pins. And if you would add the touch that is going to linf. you with the picture of your grand mother when she was a girl you will wear the locket probably of enamel to match in coloring your frock, Nsus pended on a narrow black velvet rib bon. If you thought it rather spoiled the effect of the lovely cameo brooch then tie the black velvet ribbon aroun5 your wrist and let the locket dangie from it.

USE OF BINGHAM

Everything is taking to gingham plaids, even needlework. And this is not to be wondered at when you con- slider how neat and symmetrical for practical purposes the gingham check and plaid can be. Here it is applied to the end of a useful scarf or runner in eighteen inch width. The gingham part of it is simply matter of out lining those squares with neat stitches in one color. most likely blue, or any color to match the general scheme of your room.
 This scarf may be stamped on li- nen, if you can afford that luxury-or dolly cloth, cotton rep. lawn, batists, crash toweling or linen. It will not be hard to do this stamping yourself; merely repeat the design on each end of the scarf. In this way you can make it as long as you like, and should you want an eighteen inch width you can reduce it to fifteen very easily by removing the last row of squares on each edge. The design remains ex actly the same, but not quite so wide Now as to treatment, you will find colors the best choice instead of all
 white Let the squares be outlined
 with the color you want to emphasize | Note that the intersections of those lines are interrupted by a cluster o1
 four small single stitches of another color and a knot of third color.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Sabbath Observance.

MT. Editor: One of the causes of national degeneration is the neglect and violation of the required, scrip tural Sabbath observance. Many other causes contribute to that lamentable and. awful end, but the verdict of his tory is not indefinite or uncertain as to the prominent part played in that sad tragedy through the blatant and fragrant disobeying of the fourth com mandment in the DecaloSue. And the trend of commercialism and social life seems to be to the discoura cement of q scientific and religious observance of one day in seven for other than secular purposes. Business and pleas ure hold high carnival upon the Lord : Day in many localities and whatever of law there is against such vicious procedure utterly fails of a rigid en- forcement at the hands of time -serv- ing officials. But agitation, that friend of all reform, will serve ben eficent purpose in the interest of Sab- bath observance. Like all great mi 4uities, the dissertation of Gods Holy Day cannot bear the light of an awak- ened sentiment From every angle commercial, scientific, social, political and religious, let the flashlight and | the searchlight of Truth be thrown | upon that lax and loose morality which pays but little regard for the 1 Day of Rest A peculiar people" arc needed for the maintenance of tha standard of righteousness so essentia to national health-that ideal of pub 1 lie conduct which revolts at intimida. l tion or compromise and will not lister to the entertainments of an arrogan worldliness. If not enough people art reached through the pulpit, let tht press be evoked for that needed agi tation which will afford no rest unti not only new and better Sunday law! are enacted, but an enforcement O such laws is obtained as was neve known before. That a material as wei Gs a spiritual prosperity awaits sucl {; needed reform certainly no close ob
 server can fail to discern or the in
 different refuse to admit. It is i'm lortant that public attention should b
 constantly called to a strict regari
 for the Sabbath. Our national life an perpetuity urgently require it. w
 shall need it not simply that we ma.
 outlive other nations, but above a
 that we may possess and enjoy sub
 stantial peace and prosperity.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Eiahtina a Super Submarine.

Report of an encounter between a German cruising submarine and the steamship Chincha with an American naval armed guard was made public by Secretary Daniels. E. D. Arnold, cheif boatswains mate. commanding the armed guard says the U-boat had two coming towers and was armed with five-inch guns. It has been known for some time that the German submarine were using fiVe-inch guns, but they are short range guns, and the American four-inch weapon IS considered by American naval authori- ties match for them.
 According to Arnold's report, the enemy submarine was sighted at 2:55 D. m. on March 21, by J. Weiman, sea- man. second class. lookout in the for ward crows nest. About two minu- tes later the submarine began firing and the Chincha also opened fire.
 The fourth shot struck the vessel aft and killed A. S. Edwards, seaman, second class, and two of the ships crew. A number of shells burst close by and over the stern. The Chincha fired several shots close to the sub marine which submerged.
 The Chincha was attacked by Ger man submarine on Jan. IS, when F. E. N cnlel nldlS- IleLLOlOO the armed guard so well that he was /, later commended. NOrdQuist in his re- port. of the encounter, said in part: "On Jan. IS, at 7:25 a. m. an object like an enormous whale showed itsel1 off our port quarter about 1000 yards away.

Views of the Vigilantes
eoETHE's PROPHECY.
By Augustus Thomas of The viailante


 Goethe said, ''The Prussian is by na- ture cruel; civilization will make him ferocious'' Goethe was prophetic civilization, as far as it can affect the Prussian, has made him ferocious, and conceit has rendered him invulnerable to reform. Through scores of years congenital megalomania has been craftily fed and augmented by official and philosophical and literary and re- ligious reiteration of German greatness until the idea has become national hypnosis.
 This treatment has left the Pan Ger man imagination with only captive fiexibility of the dachshund variety, so near the ground that it seems to have been born under a bureau. Present 1 Pan Germany cannot see with its ar | rested spiritual development that its kaiser, as Emerson said of Napoleon, | is doomed to ultimate defeat, because l he is fighting against the moral law I of the universe.
 They don't recognize moral law. They can't even see it;a dense mate rialism has covered their organs of spiritual perception.
 l It is their philosophy that success 1 justifies any means the state may em- 1 ploy; that the foulest methods are Esterilized and made sweet by victory
 They believe themselves divinel5 appointed in this world to put 'peutschland uber alles"
 That conquest is good title.

BOYS AND GIRLS, PIG CLUBS.

Attention is being called by the farm bureau of this county to the import ance of having the boys and girls take a deeper interest in the raising of pigs Commendable work has been done in this direction in the past few years but there is certainly good req son for arousing an even greater in- terest at this time through pig clubs.
 There are of course many, ways in which the boys and girls can contrib ute to the nations requirements This they are aware of as is shown by the results which they are accomplishing in many directions. but while they are giving valuable help through their ser more. Like their elders they like nothing better than rivalry and there is certainly great opportunity for this in raising pigs.
 The nations demands for pork are steadily increasing. Unfortunately the supply is not keeping up with require : ments. This means that more pigs should be raised and it should be re- membered that there is no better place for doing it than right here in New London county, and no one more en- titled to the benefits to be obtained through this method of increasing the country's meat supply than the peo- pie of this section.
 Where there is will there is a way and there can be no question but what the pork produced by the boys and girls who enter the pig raising con- test will not only serve to materially boost the meat supply but give the youthful raisers experience which i: bound to be of the utmost value ir years to come especially if they are | interested in activities on the farm.

official to accept that which ought to appear to him as inevitable. Yet in stead of putting forth his best efforts to get everything possible out of the tube service he continues to back and fill, to obstruct and hinder, and all the time the postal service is suffering.
 The postofice department has. enough to do to give the country the postal service which it needs and which it is clamoring for without standing out against this part of it. Instead of insisting upon having his own way, when those who have the authority to give him orders direct otherwise, it behooves him to get down to business, fill his collar and show that he can handle the mails of the country expeditiously in other di- rections and to the satisfaction of the people before he demands the tearing down and abandonment of service which is already meeting require ments, or would meet them if proper ly supported.

UNREST IN AUSTRIA.

As time goes on it is made evident that all we hear about the unstable conditions and lack of unity in Aus tria- Hungary is not simply talk and it is quite evident that it is not all propaganda put forth to confuse the allies and cause them to turn their thoughts to consideration of peace.
 For long time there has been un- certainty in that country. This has been clearly manifested by the upris- ings in numerous localities because of food conditions. Labor has time and again been showing it's dissa A 'ac- tion. certain of the people have S4en working for peace and in the govern ing bodies much opposition and en- barrassment has resulted from the po- sition taken by the representatives of different closses.
 That these conditions had much to do with the famous letter which wae written by Emperor Charles cannot be doubted. Austria appears to be seeth- ing with unrest and this needs nc clearer demonstration than the act ot the emperor in ordering the Austria premier to adjourn parliament indeh. nitely and at the same time directing him to take steps which will render 1t impossible for the resumption of it: activities.
 That Is indeed an indication of tn, uncomfortable situation which is facet by the head Of the dual monarchy Try as he would it has been impossi ble for him to straighten out the sit uation apd satisfy the opposition. H now plans to do this by use of tn iron hand and such methods being evi dent it remains to be seen whethe he meets with any greater measure o success.

PASTE ON PANTRY DOOR.

The lover of thrift is often con. fronted by directions for household economy ennanating, as trial shows, from abstrait. rather than practical, domestic science. Try these suggest ions from an old-fashioned New Eng land housewife:
 l. Eggs are not needed for a rice pudding
 2. Milk is not needed in cake made with baking powder.
 3. Milk is not needed for any kind of wholewheat bread. Even when milk ahounds and is cheap, water is prefer able
 4. Half, or even quarter. of yeas' cake will raise a good amount of bread for baking.
 5. "War cake" which calls for z package of raisins and much shorten. ing is not economical. $. Do not allow servant to throw out remnants of shredded wheat lief l in the bottom of the box, More than cupful is often so lost '. An unstrained soup made iron remnants of yesterdays meat makes l good meal. No meat course is re qufred herewith. S. Are you careful to make as man, pies as possible from one squash? 1 g. Are you careful to allow every bi of the white to drain, or to scrape il from an egg which you break? 10. Neither broken crackers nor tn crumbs in the bottom of the bo should be thrown away. Use then for fish, oysters, etc. Il. Memoranda of all sorts, as we as rough drafts of manuscript may b kept on pieces of wrapping paper. Thi is the kind of economy which goo
 housewives practiced during the civ
 war.
 1 12 Remember that the old New Eng
 lander considered wastefulness, eve
 among the rich, sinful It is a crim when the nation calls for thrift.

OUR POSTAL SERVICE.

Isn't it about time for the postmas- ter general to give up his determined opposition to the retention and use of the pneumatic. tubes for the quick dis tribution of mail in the large centers of this country? Mir. Burleson has shown his hand in this regard and gotten the attitude of congress upon this matter. He knows that while he has said that the tubes must go and while he has declared that he would not use the appropriations for the continuance of the tubes for such a purpose that investigators have found that they are needed and desired by the communities which they serve that the help which; they give is much better than the service by trucks which Mir. BurIeson' would substitute for them.
 Such being the case-th postmaster general should be a big enough public

UNITED STATES AND NORWAY.

The trade agreement which has been signed between this country and Nor way has been a long time coming but it is thoroughly in accord with the de- mands of the situation. The arrange ment has been concluded without the use of force. The need of it has been recognized by Norway as well as this country and it should result to the benefit of both countries.
 According to the terms of the agree ment the United States is to send foodstuffs, metals, textiles, rubber and fertilizers to Norway under the strict stipulation that Norway shall not per init any of such imports to get to the central powers directly or indirectly. This means that it will not permit them to go through another neutral and that it will not send equivalents. The goods which it gets from this country will be used in Norway, to- gether with whatever supplies it has or gets otherwise, for the benefit of the Norwegian people. This protec ton has been made necessary because of the practice of the central powers of drawing upon the northern neutral for large quantities of supplies with .he result that what we were sending 10 them was working to the advantage of Germany.
 The other side Of the agreement is that Norway will permit free expor- tation of it's goods to the United States, so that her trade which Ger many would like to get will not be shut off except to Germany. There is no question but what it is the treatment which Norway has been get
 ting from the central powers whicI has made it willing to approve suct an agreement, and the way Norwa!
 feels must to large degree be sharet l by other neighbors.

THEIR OWN THINGS.

Let the. children have their own washcloths and towels. Children de- light in having their very own things, and the magic which is brought about by these simple articles embroidered and labeled is wonderful. Even grimy handed boys have been known to relish their ablutions when accompanied with Washcloth crotcheted around the edge with their favorite color which is generally red, and marked in one cor ner with their name or initials. When the boy is too mannish to allow crotchet he will still hold dearly to a washcloth which has his name printed on it. Indelible ink, put on by his own pen will mean much. Try the trick and see. Little dainty girls love dainty things. They like fancy colored cross stitch patterns on their towels and washcloths. They like their favorite
 pictures of cats or dogs or dolls ol l little girls or sunbonnet babies.

DRAFTED CAFES.

The popularity of the cape has been months ago capes were seen only here and there where the smartly gowned women are wont to congregate. Bu' like flash of the eye. all the shops began to feature the cape in window displays and the showrooms, and i'm mediately the cape became conspicu- ous by the great numbers worn in tfi. street. First came the regulation cape circular in shape, then the straight piece of material attached plainly to the deep yoke, or often gathered: then the draped affair. Each it might be admitted were fashionable. the prefer ence being decidedly for the type bes; suited to, the individual. Usually these capes are in dark blue, and again, they are seen in taupe and tie materials are serge, gabardine, tri- cotine, velours and satins

THE FIGHT FOR YPREs.

The situation has changed in re- gard to the YPres situation within the past week. The German offensive cannot be considered ended and it cannot be claimed that Ypres may not yet have to be evacuated. but it has been made evident as the days go on that though Germany still continues to indicate that it has men 10 throw against the slaughtering fire Of the enemy. the allies are steadily growing stronger and the new con- trol is bringing about tho improve ment that was expected of it.
 There are reasons to believe that the entente forces had fully prepared themselves against the possibility of retiring from the Tpres salient if in the face Of overwhelming odds it could save men at the expense of territory. Tn the face Of the resistance which was displayed by the British and French to the west of Mont Kemmel and to the east and southeast of Ypres it was made plain that the allies are not lacking in fighting ability. There oc- cured at that point a check from which the Germans have not as yet been able to recover. They have not as yet been able to get the benefit from Kemmel hill which they had an- ticipated and the assaults made upon the hills to the west have broken down under the allied resistance. Ypres without the defenses to the east is still strongly held and Germany un- doubtedly realizes that the cost of talk ing it from that direction would not compensate for the losses that would he sustained. Even the efforts to the south have failed and even though the retention of Ypres is perhaps more 2 matter of sentiment than anything else t is not going to be abandoned without a struggle, worthy of the de. lenders.

 ''The submarine did not try to dive, but seemed to be trying to come up. As I thought she was trying to come up for shell fire at us I kept on firing. The submarine now headed for the beach. Twenty mine shots had been fired at her after her second appear ance. One of the last shots had hit and exploded close to where her pro- pellers were churning. As she head ing for the beach and quite a way off I ceased firing.
