Griffith Says His Team Is Sure
To Beat Out Boston For Honors

THE TROLLEY HEARINGS.

Opinions differ greatly in regard to
the recommendations and bills which
have been presented to the general as
sembly for dealing with the situation
that exists among the trolley roads Of
the state. There are those that ap-
prove, there are those that disapprove
and there are still others that approve
in part and disapproye emphatically
relative to other details.
Now it is well known fact that the
adjustment of this matter has been
placed before the general assembly and
the legislature has arranged for sew
efal hearings this week which will give
opportunity for those desiring to be
heard regarding the proposed legisla-
ton to state their views and explain
why the laws ought to be enacted or
ought not to be. The street railways
are vitality concerned but likewise is
every community and every individual
to a greater or less degree.
The committees are DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning the facts. They want to know
the views of the people as well as the
railways. They should have revealed
to them the effects of the proposed
bills in order that that which is act
ually needed should be provided for
and that which is unwise and needs
Improvement can be fully revealed.
Therefore it is of the utmost import
ance that there should be large at
tendance at these hearings arranged
for three afternoons this week com
mencing with Tuesday and two mex
week. This is the chance for giving
| expression to the views even as the
ballot box is at election time. Finding
fault after it is all over without par
ticipation accomplishes nothing. AND
| it is being made more and more
plain that many of the laws that arc
passed at Hartford about which dis
satisfaction results is due TO the fac
that just such hearings are not prop.
erly attended

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE


The white of an egg applied to
burn or scald is most soothing and
will cause the wound to heal quickly.
An apple eaten before breakfast
serves as a natural stimulus to the d.
gestive organs.
Ali liver must be fresh to make de-
sirable food.
Lettuce for salad should be well
dried, as well as cold.
A waste paper basket in a bathroom
is a real convenience.
Mildew may be removed by soaking
the garment in buttermilk.
This is a good way to clean carpet:
Get one ounce of NORWOOD salt from
the druggist, put it into a pail of warm
water; then wash your carpet as you
would the floors, or, if very dirty, scrub
it. When finished, all the dirt and
grease spots have disappeared and the
carpet looks like new.
When travelling bag becomes dirty,
wash it all over with tepid water and a
| little soap. After it is dry, put a little
/ oxaiic acid in a cup of hot water and
| wipe the bag well with a soft cloth
dipped in acid. When dry, brush the
| bag with the white of an egg and it will
look fresh and new.
A very good plan to clean knives
without putting the handles in water is
as follows: Have handy jug or YES
sci with soda water and as soon as pos
sible after the knives have been used
stick the blades in the soda water
| leaving the handles on the outside
| this will cleanse and quickly remove
| stain and rust

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

When a patient is feverish battle
with warm water and soda.
If the children are fond of candy and
you fear bad results, do not allow them
to have ii just before q meal. but be
liberal with the sweets right after they
have eaten a hearty meal. They will
not eat so much. nor will it do them
harm. if this method is followed.
To keep the hands white and soft
apply cosmetic jelly after bathing
them. The following formula cannot
be excelled: Soak thirty grains of
gum tragacanth in seven ounces of
rosewater for three days. Strain
through muslin and add one-half ounce
of alcohol and one-half ounce of gly-
cerine. A few drops of any preferred
perfume may be added. If little black
creases appear, as they usually do
after a session of housekeeping, battle
the hands with pure soap and yellow
corn meal.
Swim every day and you will not de-
velop large, ugly muscles, but beauti-
full, smooth working ones under a clean
skin a body that moves with grace,
bright eyes and a smile that will carry
you anywhere.
One of the greatest medical experts
in the country has classed swimming
as the greatest of exercises, because it
uses the whole muscular system, with
moderate demand on nerve control.

STRIKE INSURANCE,

Interest cannot fail to be attracted
by the company which has been organ
lied under the laws OF the state of
Maryland for the purpose of providing
insurance against strikes, the purpose
being to protect the employers against
loss of fixed charges, net profits and
the cost of litigation connected with a
strike, and TO employees whose income
may be cut off for the same reason.
1t is an organization which is to
take a middle of the road course as far
as taking sides is concerned. That
there is a chance for such an organi-
cation to do business is indicated by
the statement to the effect that an in
vestigation shows that not less than
$1,000 establishments in the country
were involved in strikes between 1901
and 1905, while in seven months of 1917
there were 1000 strikes called. Accord
ing to an estimate there is an annual
labor wastage in the United States and
Great Britain each year of fifteen bill
lien dollars.
For the purpose of giving those in
volved in that loss chance to prevent
it through insurance the company is
organized. There will of course be the
premiums to meet but it is to be hoped
that the protection will not result in
the feeling that every possible effort
need not be made to avoid strikes and
lockouts. Inasmuch as it is to be a
mutual company, it is probably in
tended to have it operate much the
same as such companies among large
industries for fire protection, where if
is insisted that every precaution shall
be taken IN construction and fire pre-
Vcnt1on provisions to prevent losses. II
such thing can be worked out in con-
nection with insurance against strikes
it ought to become a most valuable Or
ganization.

CHlLpREN,s ROOMS.

Much thought and care should be
given to the furnishing of the child's
bedroom Environment, it has long
since been granted, has a most potent
influence upon child's development,
and the major part of his early life is
spent in these two rooms.
1t should therefore be kept in mind
in arranging this environment that it
should minister to the childs highest
development in good health, good
spirits and good taste.
Taking it for granted an airy
sunny room, with a floor that is easily
kept clean, let us begin to furnish it.
First, it is well to keep the wall d plain
background, for many reasons, and it
should be a CHEEKY, restful color, such
as soft yellow, pale dull green, dun
rose, buff or if the room is very sunny
gray. In color, it may be almost any
soft, restful color that does not brand
itself on the child's eye.
A suggestion that seems worth con
sidering is that, although certain good
pictures hang with a degree of perma-
hence in a child's room there should be
exchanges made from time to time and
new one placed there to give the
child's interest some fresh stimulation.
Considering the high cost of chill
drens stockings the thrifty mother
wishes to protect the stocking knees,
as the children are on them SO much i'll
their play.
Take the top or any part that is
good of an old stocking (about eight
inches), hem one end and run a small
rubber in to fit just below the knee
| Fasten top to elastic together with
stocking. This has proved a success
as the children wear their stockings
| out completely in the feet before any
holes come in the knees. You can turn
| the protector around until worn out.
