GERMANY TO SIGN.

There can he no surprise in the an nouncement to the effect that the na tional assembly of Germany has voted in favor of signing the treaty. That is what has been anticipated would be the outcome and that is of course the most sensible thing Germany could do. Even though there are terms of the treaty that might be regarded as hard it has been apparent that there has been a strong sentiment in certain circles at least in favor of signing the docu- ment. That there were those in the former cabinet who could not bring themselves 10 take this view did not change the situation. and the shift in the makeup of the cabinet indicates that they had taken a position which they could not maintain.
 There were only two things for Ger many to do. Either it must accept the treaty as presented and by so doing make the best of the provisions, or else it could refuse to sign and thereby in- crease the penalty that would have to he paid. It was fully understood that if Germany did not agree to do as re- quired 1t would be made to. and it could not be overlooked that if it was made to. it would have to bear an ad- ditional burden. Thus the chance to act for it's own good has been recog- nized in spite of those who have been endeavoring to revive old time prin- ciples and put forth defiant front.
 But with Germany agreeing to sign 1t should proceed not only to submit to the terms of the treaty but it should carry out the requirements in good faith for il cannot fail to under stand that by so doing it will help it's own case just 90 much.

 The situation as to the reported ice trust has not changed material ly, as far as positive action is con cerned, but every day testifies to the popular interest in it, and to the extent of the feeling that the people hereabouts are paying more than they should. It remains for the dealers to make stronger defense then they have yet indicated.-Hart- ford Times.

 About the only way to reduce the cost of ice which has been worked out in Connecticut cities is to es- tablish centrally located ice stations at which the consumer can buy ice and take it away. This plan works very well in congested districts where the consumer buys ill small quantities and can carry his supply home in dishpan or similar recep- tacle. It would not be practicable however in place spread out as Manchester is, for in most cases it would cost the consumed as much to get the ice home as he would save by buying it at the station. One of the penalties we have to pay in this community for our large yards and detached dwellings is that cf costly eliyery.-Manchester Herald.

Previous borings made in 1893 sunk 8 shaft to 135 feet before being stop ped.
 The Trinidad asphalt lake is about IA acres in diameter and this entire mass is in slow, almost imperceptible motion, which is the extreme difficulty in making soundings. and this motion bends and breaks the sounding appar- atus.
 The latest borings were made in the center of the lake by sinking a two inch pipe. The motion of the asphalt was found to exist as deep as one hundred feet and at depth between twenty-five and fifty feet the motion seemed to be reversed. The core re- moved from the recent borings shows the asphalt to be Of uniform charac- ter throughout.
 It is stated that another effort will soon be made, with special apparatus. to find the bottom of this great as- phalt deposit

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

The child's diet should be made satisfying as well as nourishing, so satisfying that the child will not crave sugar or any other food that it ought not to have.
 In removing wrinkles the face should first be thoroughly cleaned and the massage be carried out in a systematic manner. Begin with the forehead. Stroke. with the two thumbs over the forehead, starting near the eyebrows, and work out toward the roots of the hair. In the second movement one hand IS used to stretch the part work ed upon, while deep friction is made with the tips of the fingers of the other hand.
 When motoring or playing golf you should dress the hair loosely, that it may have the benefit of the airing. Let the hair hang loosely in the sun for a few minutes each day, if possible. This treatment naturally bleaches the hair slightly. The wholesome effect upon it of the sun more than compensates for the bleach. For a blonde this treat ment is especially effective; it main- tains the fairness of the hair as noth- ing else will
 Care of ones person is actually one Of the little points of good dressing. Well kept hair, complexion teeth and hnger nails are expected, of course, of any well groomed woman. Plenty of hair-pins in several sizes are essential to a becoming as well as a neat coif- lure, and waving or curling the hair is popular style, because it disposes so prettily of untidy wisps about the neck, ears and temples. A little reg ular daily care of the teeth, complexx- ion and finger nails is not great deal of trouble and by keeping one young and fresh looking on all occasions is worth ten times as much as the spas modic visit to the beauty parlor

MEETING PLACE OF CONGRESS.

- The suggestion has been made that inasmuch as it is necessary to have a session of congress during the sum mer months there ought to be sum- mer capital where the congressman can carry on their deliberations in comfort and not be required to sub init to the sweltering heat of Wash ington.
 It has of course been the custom to refer to the summer home of the , president as the summer capital when congress was not in session and of course we have seen the white house placed on wheels and sent to Europe for a period of over six months but we have not as yet experienced the interesting situation of having con- gress gather anywhere but in Wash ington since that became the national capital
 The idea of shifting the meeting place comes from California and the Californian is anxious of course that the summer session of congress should be held in that state, but what could we expect next January or Feb ruary, when it gets pretty cold in Washington, other than that some res- ident of Florida or some other south Tern state would advocate the moving

NOVEL. THRIET.

One housewife says that she has aI- ways believed in following recipes ex- actly, and one matter that has often troubled her is the amount of material that is left sticking to the mixing and preparing dishes. For instance. she makes her own salad dressing, and until she discovered the following kind she had to think of some easy method to remove all of the dressing from the double boiler. This is how she now saves every bit of dressing that she makes in the double boiler:
 She secures what is known to bicycle supply houses as a hand pump. With the aid of this small pump she is able to concentrate all the dressing at one point after she has emptied the con- tents of the double boiler into the bowl. The jet ot-air that issues from the nozzel drives the dressing that sticks to the sides of the boiler to a point where it can be easily recovered with spoon, and what has hereto fore been a loss now makes dressing for three slices of tomatoes.

ROOTS SUGGESTIONS.

As he made clear some time ago Elihu Root, formerly secretary of , state and United States senator, still believes that there are features of the peace treaty that are not what they should be since they are against the interests and safety of this country, - vet there is in the covenant "a great . deal of very high value which the world ought not to lose.' He approves of the idea of a separate consideration Of the peace terms and the covenant of the league of nations, but he like wise points out that conditions are such in Europe and throughout the world that there ought to be prompt action, so if they must be consid- cred together it is his belief that there should be certain reservations noted that will overcome the defects.
 He would thus approve the treaty with three reservations. The first would be the elimination of article ten insofar as it affects the United States. This article guarantees the members of the league to maintain the terri torial integrity and political independ- ence Of all the nations of the world admitted 10 the covenant Secondly he would reserve the absolute and un- qualified right of the United States to withdraw from the league on two years notice and as the third reserva- tion he would provide for the clear and unmistakeable protection of the Monroe doctrine and the sovereignty of the United States over purely American questions.
 This is a recommendation that will doubtless get much consideration in the senate since it cannot fail to ap- peal to those who have manifested & opposition to a separation of the peace terms and the league. It is in keep ing with what has been previously done in overcoming treaty defects in the past by means of reservations.

EMBROIDERED VEsTEEs.

Waistcoats have gained an even greater vogue than was predicted for them in the early spring. The reason that they persist in really good style in spite of the fact that they are found in most of the cheap ready made suits is because they can be made as expensive and distinctive as their wearer wishes. Some of the smartest are made in the newest weave of silk jersey, which is very heavy This is embroidered at the neck and across the lower edge with colored silks or wools in a conventional design Elm broidered silk is sold by the yard for walst-coats from $S 8 yard up. It may be had in narrow width for a slightly smaller sum, but as two strips of the narrower width are needed for the waistcoat the expense is even greater. The woman who is nimbIe fingered can reproduce this sort of embroidery herself. It is worked on heavy silk, in an allover pattern, with colored silk threads and with the occa- sional introduction of gold or silver threads to point the design.

of congress down where it was more comfortable and overcoats would not be required. A movable congress would be great thing for the mem bers. They would have great chance to see the country and gather in the interesting mileage fees. but even if the constitution would permit the shifting around there is pretty good reason to believe that precedent will settle the matter if it ever becomes necessary In fact there is no reason to believe that the Californian takes his own suggestion seriously. There's no chance of getting congress on wheels

FLOOR AND WALLS.

The choice of floor covering is af- fected by so many conditions that it is not easy to lay down and def mite rules as guides. Rugs and carpets should always be as inconspicuous as possible. They must blend with the walls and furnishings or an otherwise beautiful room will prove unpleasant to live in. The less pronounced the floor of the room. the better and more restful the combined effect.

STORIES OF THE WAR
Not Popular With Germans

Correspondence of the Associated Press)-The two most unpopular American officers among the Ger mans in Coblenz are Major George Cockreil, assistant provost marshal, and Captain Theodore F. Fisker, in charge of the bllleting office which must furnish accommodations for something like eleven hundred offic CTS and thousands of soldiers.
 Major Cockreil whose home is in St Paul, is in command of more than twelve hundred military police and five to twenty or more Ger mans pass through his office every day on their way to jail. So among the civilians who buy stolen Amer ican food and who try to sell cog nac to American soldiers and com init other acts contrary to army reg ulations Major Cockreil is a most unpopular man.
 Sometimes he receives threatening notes and also letters in German with skull and cross bones at the bottom of the page but they do not frighten him in the least It's all a part of the job the major says.
 Captain Fisker, who lived in Chi cago before he went to war, has been going about Coblenz for five months selecting choice billets for generals and other officers and for the soldiers, too. And so most all the civilians in Coblenz have had a glimpse of Captain Fisker from time to time and they do not like him one bit. Many of them tell him so. in a nice way of course, each time ne comes around.
 Every house in the city has been listed in Captain Fisker's office, and he knows just how many members there are in each family and when there is spare bedroom or two handy he takes it over for Q gen. eral, a colonel, a major, a captain or a lieutenant according to the fur nishinss and the location of the home Being unpopular is incidental to the duties Of the billeting officer. But the work appears to agree with him. Since he came to Germany with the Army of Occupation Cap tain Fisker has gained ten pounds.
