Mr.. Editor: 1t was several years

my attention settled on any one.
Her cultured manner and man

our gaze met For a few seconds she
halred-she was walking the waiting
room t1oor-then she approached me,
with a winspme smile, saving, 'Will

She carried her dainty cane in one

EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES.

Because Connecticut has been ex-
tensively engaged in the production OF
war goods It's industries have been
badly hit by the cancellation Of the
orders. Some relief is expected
through the arrangements which have
been made bv the government for the
completion Of a certain proportion CT
the work in different stages OF com
pletion or n certain part OF the unified
orders. That is going to help tide
over until the change from war work
to the resumption of peace time pro-
duction can be undertaken
The labor situation in the meantime
Is one which is deserving Of careful
consideration. For some time now
there have been fourteen United
States employment Offices maintained
in the state for the purpose OF acting
rs a clearing house for labor. with the
government and the state meeting the
expense. 1t was not so many weeks
ago that help was being sought in
such number that 1t could not be sup
piled. Today the situation is just the
reverse and it is next to Impossible to
find work for those who are seeking

1t can be appreciated, however, that
1T is highly valuable sacrifice which
is being performed by the employment

were drafted have not only gone TO

NEEDED HIGHWAY IMPROVE.
MENTS.

Norwich as we'll as the towns in
this part of the state are greatly In
terested in the betterment of the high
ways. That there is an opportunity
for much effort along this line is moi
to be questioned. Good roads have
come to be recognized as a valuable
asset and they cannot be wisely dis
regarded.
1t is not to be overlooked that Nor
witch has much to keep 1t busy In
this respect within its own limits. but
it Is nevertheless interested in bring
ing about the Improvement of the i'm
portant highways which connect i'm
portant centers.
A most commendable change has
been made by the construction of the
so called military highway" between
Preston and Groton, along the cas-.
side of the Thames river but there is
need Of giving the same kind OF at
tention to the main road between this
city and Hartford through Colchester
which except for the matter of a few
miles is in very good condition. anG

road from Preston Plains to Norti
Stonington ought to be improved.
With that section bettered and a
! equal amount OF attention given t
the road 10 the capital through Col
chester there would be a direct an
attractive line Of highway eommuni
cation between Hartford and Waite

Of these two sections would be =
