Even if the sun didn't shine and the trolIeys didn't run the Sunday school picnic of the Trinity Methodist church on Thursday was one of the best and most enjoyable ever held. The Sun day school with their guests number ing over 200 left the city at 10.10 in the morning on the Nelseco II, sailing down the Thames to Ocean beach, ar irving there shortly before noon. At the beach a basket lunch was enjoyed and members of the Epworth League furnished lemonade and the committee in charge presented each person a bag of peanuts.
 After the lunch the afternoon was spent in bathing and games. The games for the boys were led by the Boy Scouts and those for the girls were under the supervision of Miss Elizabeth Lane and Miss Mary Grove, girl scout leaders. The picnickers re- turned on the boat arriving in the city a little after seven o'clock. The com n1ittee in charge of the enjoyable af- fair was J. B. Stanton, chairman, Mrs. Albert Boardman, David Purvis, Miss Elizabeth Lane. Miss Mary Grove, Le- Roy Fielding and Henry Jackson.

Cocoanut Oil. Fine
 ForiWashing Hair
-. l..nl.a,.. ~,ll--.-,----.

If you want to keep your hair in good, condition. be careful what you wash 1t with.
 Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much aikali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is very harmful. Mulsified cocoanut oil greaseiess1~ is much better than any thing else~you can use for sfampooins, as this can't possibly inJure the hair.
 Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or. two teaspoonfuls will make an gabnhdance of rich, creamy lather and cleanses the hair rinses out easily. and, removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and ex- cessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly. and 1t leaves 1t fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage.
 You cah get Mulsiied cocoanut oil shampoo at most any drug store. It is very cheap. and a few ounces is enough to last, everyone in the family for months. f

 It looks as though Mir. Perkins was trying to use the public's pocketbook as lever to gain public opinion by saying that if the men are granted a raise it will mean an increased fare. am willing to pay the increase if I was sure the men would get it in- stead of some of those who do noth- ing.
 If the company is operating at a loss, as they claim. why don't they sell out or go into bankruptcy. and let the Eastern Connecticut oPwer com pany take over the road. as under stand they want to do. k It looks as though the public utili- ties commission will have to step in after all and settle this matter.
 This is the most orderly strike I have ever seen, and my sympatlfy is with the men. I don't see how they can live on the money they get now.
 A $5- a day job in a year looks pretty good to me for a conductor or a mo- torman.

in Expectations at
 Times

Unreasonable in Expectations at The army has been unreasonable at times in it's expectations from the Young Mems Christian Assoc:atio be- cause the "y''- spirit of willingness made the doughboy- take for granted the associations ability to accomp- fish results, General Pershing declares in letter of commendation to E. c. Carter, Chief Y. M. c. A. Secretary with the American Expedjitionary force.
 "on behalf of the A, F. F.. I desire to express to you and to your fellow workers my appreciation and thanks for the splendid services which the Y. M. c. A. has performed for the Amer ican army in Europe" General Per shing's letter read:
 When the first. contingents began arriving, the Y.- M. c. A. began that work for the American soldiers which has ever kept pace with the growth of the American Expeditionary force. All the divisions and most of the smaller organizations have enjoyed its benefits and services. Besides main taining the usual recreation huts. 1t has conducted canteens where the men addition the Y. NJ. c. A. has constantly distributed. without charge. tobacco, hot drinks and the like at the front.
 Another service of great value has been the creation Of ana the work tn leave areas, where the problem of giv- ing the men occasional respites from the routine of army life has been solv- ed. The facts which made this pos. sible have been the recreati tional facil. ities in the leave areas. and especially the presence and splendid assistance of the American. women with the Y NJ. c. A.
 "Other branches of your endeavor deserving of special mentio are those connected with education, entertain ment and athletics. Tn each of these departments the Y. M. c. A. has done excellent work. but the features which I have mentioned do not begin to cover the activities of the association, which has at all times shown itself eager to undertake any extension of its work to meet the wishes ow the military au- thorities. This spirit of willingness has resulted in the arfny's taking for granted much of your society's abili- ty to accomplish results, and some times expecting more than wns reas- onably allowable under the t:ircum- stances. In fact yours has been the same spirit which has animated the American army and made possible it's contribution to the successful eonclu. sion of the war; .'.. ..A--'-@ @
 "As I cannot address all Of your workers personally. I hope that you and they will accept this letter as an expression of my appreciation of the splendid work that you have done in France.
