the women will be assisted in working
out an efficiency plan, covering a five
year schedule, in which the object
will be to insure to the home as mod
ern and efficient Equipment compare
lively, as the office or factory. Miss
Maude Z. Hayes, home demonstration
specialist for the Connecticut Agricul-
tural College and the Farm Bureaus, is
working out the details of the plan.
A questlonnaire showing the extent to
which labor saving devices and mod
ern household methods are employed
has been drafted for use n the sur
vey. The surveys will be taken in
units of twelve, not more than one
to be taken in any one town. Among
some Of the points to be considered in
the survey are washing machines,
, dishwashers, vacuum cleaners, kero-
sene stoves, fireless cookers, electric
fixtures, hardwood floors, wheel trays,
ana kitchen arrangement By getting
| housewives to plan on a, t1ye-year
schedule, Miss Hayes points out, it
will be possible for many women OF

War Savings Stamps for fraction of
their redeemable cash value. For
some time complaints have been
reaching the Connecticut War Saw
ings Committee to the effect that Ger
tain individuals in the cities and toWnE
of the State, especially in the centers
of foreign population, We're being IN
duced to sell their w. S. S. at prices
ranging from $500 to 1856, whereas
these stamps are now worth $4-2S.
Some time ago evidence against sew
eraI persons was placed in the hands
of the Treasury apartment at Wash
ington, but i'll the meantime in order
to stop this practice, the Connecticut
Committee had drawn up DILL to be
pjaced on the statutes Of the State,
which, it is believed. will prevent the
cashing of War Savings Stamps at
all places except post offices.
The bill now pending before the Ju-
dietary committee reuires that all
persons buying w. S. S. at less than
| their present cash value first take ou'

| Commission, for which fee OF 500 Is
re d,1ired, also it is stipulated that such

A widow still is she;
She wears a neat old-fashioned frock,
And neater ne'er can be.
She's blest at home, nor seeks abroad
The scandals Of the town;
There's not enough put in her sleeves
To make another gown.
Although she's poor, the needy poor's
Hard wants she will appease;
Her dress it never drags the ground,
Nor sits above her knees.
She every Sunday goes to church,
Nor sleeps nor chatters there; /:
Her caps are of the plainest kind
Save one for Sunday wear.
She often says "she hopes above
To meet her husband dear
She rents a cot at fifteen pounds,
And pays it every year.

And rises now betimes;
She's called by all the neghbors round
