KENT FALLS HAVE BEEN
 GIVEN TO THE STATE

The White Memorial Foundation, of Litchfeld. has recently purchased and given to the people of Connecticut the beautiful Kent Falls. in the northeast ern part of that town, with about two hundred acres of land, being the homestead of the late MT. Carl Lorch. Negotiations for this purpose were be- gun in 1915. but owing to the attach ment of MT. Lorch for his home and his unwillingness to part with the Falls alone it was impossible during his life to secure it. The donors have greatly desired to assure the perma- hence of the hemlock forest along the brook, and have entrusted it to the
 care of the ctate on the single con- dition that it is to be used for park purposes only.
 To those who are not familiar with
 the Falls, few words of description are necessary. but those who have seen it will know how inadequate any words must be. The Falls Brook. ris-
 ing in the town of Warren drains about six square miles of that granite roof, and is true mountain stream
 though it's drainage area insures a considerable flow even in the driest seasons. It may be readily found on
 the Topographic may. and the falls are situated on it's lower part, not far from the HOusatonic river. railroad and highway. which at this point are crowded close together by the noun tains. The total fall of the brook on the Lorch farm is about two hundred feet in a quarte< mile, which is broken into man, falls and cascades by the upturned lodges of white mar ble, sculptured into fantastic forms, l with numerous potholes of all sizes, by that continual dropping whose eff l feet is or formerly was so well known. l The "big fall,' in two parts of about i thirty feet each. the upper one sheer, i the lower a fan shaped cascade, is at i the upper limit of the marble, and the
 sheer fall is caused by the harder
 character of the overlying schist, which is also sharply upturned to form
 a lip. Geologists have named it the i Berkshire Schist, and the marble they call the Stoekbridge Limestone A

 that seek such cool moist ravines Residents and visitors have long used particularly the hemlock grove close
 to the big fall. which is most easily
 reached from the mountain road leav- ing the main highway just north o1 the North Kent schoolhouse.

RETAINING OUR SHIPS.

Twice has it /been thought that the necessary details were completed for the transfer of the vessels owned by the Interpational Mercantile Marine company to English buyers but each time the plan has been upset. First it was the government that interposed an objection, and it looked for a time as if it would pay the owners the equivalent of the British offer and take the ships. But that fell through and now the stockholders of the com pany have refused to endorse the rec ommendation of the directors that the ships be sold.
 The vessels owned by this company have a tonnage of 7S0,000. large fleet of ships that would be of great benefit to British interests at this time but which will likewise be of great help to this country which has suf- fered from a lack of merchant ma rine and is now in need of all the vessels it can get. The shipping sit uation in this country and the chances for the development of trade through the increase of such facili- ties undoubtedly had much to do with the decision of the stockholders of the company, even though the directors had felt they had received an offer that should be accepted. The idea of American interests selling these ships at time when ships are what we need has not been received with fla vor. The need of taking advantage ourselves of the opportunities which such property would open up for an other has apparently not been lost sight of and even though some of the ships which are now under British registry remain there, they will be ir the hands of and under the control ot Americans.
 That the decision of the stockhold- CTS will be disappointment to the English cannot be questioned for such an acquisition would be of great ad- vantage to them now. but it is cer- tainly time that we began looking out for ourselves

The boy with the first hint of down on his upper lip came in and sat down determinedly near the prosperous looking gentleman who had the honor to be his father. He coughed and opened his lips.

STORIES OF TIE WAR
Wearinq Burlap Stacking

Montenegro is in pitiable state The inhabitants are destitute. DWlell- ings are burned or smashed by shell fire. The young men are gone. There are no tools to work with, no seeds to plant. The city dwellers have no livelihood. Each day the American Red Cross gives everyone a kllo or bread or two quarts of thick, meaty soup. American nurses visit the sick from sunup to sundown, each nurse attending to about fifty sick persons daily.
 Before the war most of the clothing worn by the Montenegrins was made bythe women at home, either of linen or wool. Only small number of of ficials and tradesmen used imported cloth. During the war no clothing was made and now the home supply is cut off because there is not enough labor to produce food and no one can spare time for spinning or weaving.
 AS a result Montenegrin men, wo- men and children are clothed in burlap sacing. There is not enough sack ing to go around and the mountain eers huddle in their huts during in- element weather. When one of their number, generally child, is sent after the Red Cros rations he or she is supplied by making a round Robin collection with sufficient sacklng to keep warm during the journey to the relief station.
 Malaria and tuberculosis are com mon and the children suffer much from the itch, due to the general fil- thiness of conditions in the noun tains and mountain towns. In the former residence of Prince Mirko, son of King Nicholas, near Podgorit- sa, American doctors and nurses maintain a fifty bed hospital and treat daily about eighty patients. The surgeons principal work has to do with bullet wounds.
 At Danilorgrad the Red Cross maintains a dispensary. Here in Niksich the Red Cross feeds twelve hundred persons in it's soup kitchen making no ditinction between roy alists and those who favor the Jugo- ! for three hundred people housed ir

RevoIutionists in Montenegro.

This town and the hills about Nix sich, Montenegro. are full of revolu- tionists who are scheming to put King Nicholas back on the throne of Monte negro. The royalists and nationalists of Montenegro do not take kindly to the idea of their little country's inclu- sion in the Jugo- Slav state.
 The American doughboys who are bringing American food into Montene- gro for the flood mission and the American Red Cross Balkan commits sion are well liked and trusted by the Montenegrins who suspect the motives of the troops of other nations in the country.
 The Mcntenegrin, however, is much like the Kentucky mountaineer of old. He dislikes intrusion of any sort and shots have been fired at the numer- our power stations which operate the cable tramway by which the American food is swung through the air from

PROTECTING THE PEOPLE.

The decision of the supreme court of the state of Michigan to the effect that the sale of any stock in that state not approved by the state se- curities commission is void is one that will be heard with keen interest not only in that commonwealth but throughout the country.
 Michigan is one of the states that has blue sky law, legislative meas ure which requires the endorsement of security for the protection of in vestors, and the decision has been rendered as the result of a suit against a resident who had refused to pay for stock in an Arizona company which had not received the approval of the state commission.
 Thus it has been demonstrated to the people of that state at least that it placed a valuable law on its statute books when it enacted the blue sky measure. It has been found out that there is a means of protecting the resident who is attracted by the of fers of concerns that are not what they represent themselves to be. There are many cases where such does not exist. In fact there is no provision in many states whereby a commission is named for the purpose of declaring afters full investigation of a concern whether it is a bona fide company and fit to receive the approval of the com mission, but the advisability of such a protection cannot fail to be appre- ciated. And now it has been shown by the finding of the highest state court that stock sales are void unless the stock receives a clean bill of health. Michigan has apparently taken long step against the swindlers.

and January. In such a case if the family used greens once week (and they should be used at least as often as that )ten jars or greens should be planned for. In other places the sea- son when fresh greens are available at moderate cost is much shorter. so more jars will have to be planned for.
 Likewise with tomatoes, there are about 3S weeks in the year when fresh tomatoes are not available, yet nearly every family uses tomatoes once a week either as vegetable alone or in combination. as rice and tomatoes, or in soup. In that case, aS jars of tomatoes should be planned for.

HELPING HOUSING PROBLEM.

At the time of the calling of the special session of the legislature in the state of New York in order to take action upon the suffrage amendment 1t was realized that the demand was imminent for legislation dealing with the situation regarding housing facin- ties and rent profiteering that has been developing for the past two years. Likewise it was understood that 1t rested with the governor to say whether permission should be given to the transaction of any bus mess in addition to what was set forth in the call. but from the fact that he has permitted these matters to be taken up and acted upon it is 1uite evident that he appreciated the
