NO cHANGEIN
 THE TROLLEY STRIKE

There was no change in the trolley strike situation on Tuesday and a set tlement of the controversy seems as far away as ever. Trolleys are still being operated on the Yantic line. Three deliberate attempts to- wreck trolley cars on the Shore Line Electric Railway Go. were made Monday on Montauk avenue in New London The first car left the parade at 5:45. A dense fog hung low and heavy over the lower part of the city and Motor man Stewart could see only q few feet in front of him. In one way, it was fortunate that the fog was so dense for it forced the motorrran to run his car slowly and cautiously, and it was only the slow speed that prevented the car from being derailed or damage otherwise, for one of the switches had been "doctored." A large iron pin had been hammered and wedged in the switch in such a manner that a car could not pass over it without be- ing dcrailed.
 When only few feet from the switch. Motorman Stewart noticed the bulging pin over the side of the switch and on account of the slow rate of speed atIwhich he was travel ing he was able to bring his car to a stop, but only just as 1t was to take the switch. It required the combined efforts of the motorman and conduc- tor Badger to remove the iron pin. It was brought to the office of Train master Spohn.
 Heavy Iron Placed on Track N
 The second attempt came shortly after the first was made, short dis tance south of the Montauk a-ea;s- bridge over the New Yo-k Nev- Ha- ven & Hartford railroad tracks A large iron switch support, weighing IS pounds, about a foot long and ee-- erinE at one end. had been placed on the rails, 1engthwise. An account of the fog, neither Motornan Stanton nor Conductor Malona, who was standing beside him in the vestibule or the car. were able to distinguish the abstraction until they were near ly upon it. The brakes were applied and the power was reversed but ef- forts to stop the car were futile and the front wheels slid up onto the iron. but the speed was not fast enough to throw the car from the rails.
 Bolt Placed on Track
 The third attempt occurred soon after and. only a few feet south of where the second had been made An iron bolt an inch in diameter and about inches long had been laid across the track, and although the trolley car ran over it. the bolt was not large enough to throw the car from the rails.

TO STOP iMPosITIoNS
 ON STATE INSTITUTIONS

Attorney General Frank E. Healy, in the following opinion, made public this week, has named the institutions un- der the supervision of the department of state agencies and institutions headed by Col Robert o. Eaton:
 Robert O. Eaton. State Agent:
 Dear Sir: You have submitted to me for my opinion the following question:
 Under chapter 345 of the session laws of 1919. what institutions main tained wholly or in part by the state come within the supervision of your department, and to what extent are they under your supervision
 From an examinati tion of the statutes the following institutions are intended to be included within the terms of he act: Connecticut state hospital. Nor wich state hospital. Mansefild training school and hospital, state farm for in- ebriates, tuberculosis sana toria. county homes, Connecticut Children's Aid so- ciety corporation. House of Good Shepherd. Florence Crittenden Mission and all other homes for dependent and neglected children receiving state aid :; also all reformatory institutions of the state where the authority making the commitment makes an order for the support of a minor by a relative under the provisions of section 1874.
 Under the terms of this act no duty devolves upon you in the management of these institutions or in the experdi- ture of public funds for their mainte- nance. Your duty is confined to coi- lecting from people who are using our humane institutions under false pre- tenses the cost of their maintenance in these institutions. either from them directly or from their relatives made 1iab for their support by statute
 In the exercise of sound public pol icy the state maintains these institu- tions for the benefit of it's poor and in digent, and if people with property wish to take advantage of support and care therein. the state will no longer bear their burden, but make it your duty to collect from those financially responsible the amount of money the state has expended in their behalf while confined in these institutions.
 The statute under which authority is given to you to make these collections for the benefit of the state has just been construed in favor of the state by the supreme court in State vs. Romme and will appear in the 92d Connecticut.
 Respectfully submitted.
 FRANK E. HEALY,
 Attorney General.

AIkali in Shampoos Bad for Washing Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alxah, which Is very injurious, as it dries the sccalp and makes the hair brittle.
 The best thing to use is Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo. for this is pure and entirely greaseless. It's very cheap and beats anything else all to pieces. You can get this at any drug store, and a few ounces will last the whole family for months.
 Simply moisten the hair with water and rub 1t in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy Iather, cleanses thor oughly, and 'rinses out easily. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and is soft, fresh looking bright, fluffy, wayy. and easy to handle. Besides, it loos- ems and takes out every particle of dust. dirt and dandruff.

Then there promises to be a good supply of cab bage, cucumbtrs, peppers and other products that can be used for ickles and relishes. Cabbage and cucumbers are bargains right now.
 Canned goods are used during at least seven months of the year (about 200 days). The varieties and the amount canned will depend upon the family taste, the garden supply, the season, and the cost. Miss Maud E. Hayes, home demonstration specialist for onnecticut, estimates that a fam fly of five, two adults and three chill dren, can use 140175 quarts Of vegetablts, such as peas, beans, corn, tomatoes, etc. 105-140 quarts of fruits, and 35-50 quarts of jellies, relishes, etc. This estimate presupposes that root vegetables VT! he used freely and that the family will use no commtr- cially. canned goods.
