INCREASE THE GARDENS.

From some parts of the country re-
ports are coming TO the effect that
owners OF vacant lots are unwilling
that they should be used for home
garden plots this year even though
they have been under cultivation for
the past year or two. 1t is of course
understood that the war is over and
that the same conditions do not exist
either here or abroad, but it is never
theless true that the home gardens
serve an excellent purpose whether
there Is any war need or not. There is a
benefit 10 be obtained from the raising
gilmore crops. even though the indi-
vidual production is small, and though

FOOD For RUSSIA.

The Russian problem is one that has
given the peace conference no end of
trouble. 1t seems to he definitely de-
ternliued that there will be no recog-
milton of the bolshevik government,
out the situation is such in Russia
that an appeal is being made in be-
half OF humanity. AS the result of the
methods which have been used by the
Ienine- TrotZlcy government the coun-
try is demoraliaed, According to the
report OF Mr.. Hoover starvation is
claiming the people at the rate of $500
3 day. and it is through the control
which they have held over the sup
Pile and the funds that the bolsheviki
have been able to draw to their sup
port as many as they have. Many
have turned to bolshevism in or
der to get sufficient sustenance from
the bolshevil,i Yielding to such ter
rovists has been against their prin-
ciples but there was no other course.
Those at the peace conference who
have dealt with this problem are as
determined against sending an armed
force into Russia as they are against
recognizing the bolsheviki. tits believed
that Russia should he allowed to set
tie its own internal problems, but in
view Of the call for relief the feeling
exists, according to a Paris report,
that food should be sent to Russia, not
for the purpose of supporting the
bolshevik government but to help the
starving and lend encouragement TO
the anti bolshevik forces to regain
control. Food is realized as the real
power at the present time in view OF
the wreckage which the terrorists
have piled up there. 1t is perfectly
evident, however, that if food is sent
to Russia great care will have to be
exercised in order to keep it out of the
clutches of those who would continue
the present reign of terror. Whether
such can be done rests largely with
those who are at present undergoing
such privations.

OTHER VIEW POINTS

on free speech: No person shall in

necticut or the administration of the

No one can find any fault with the
intent of such proposed law. The
question, however, which presents
itself to the lay mind is whether
there is not law enough, common or
statute, to meet an emergency of 6his
character. If there is it would APP
pear to be unnecessary TO add to the
power already existing. AS a gen
eral proposition it is a dangerous
thing to experiment with the prin-
cipleS of free speech and it is eSpe
cially dangerous where it is left to
individuals TO determine just what
the abuse of free speech is or just
what damage is done to government
by the exercise of it. While the sus-
pension of free speech was necessary

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Close fitting hats and extra puffs and
braids cause the hair to perspire and
do not allow the air to circulate
through at the roots. Lack of air is
responsible for so much poor hair
among city women. There is no hair
tonic that equals natures.
To produce fat one should eat
starchy foods, sweets or fats. And of
the three, fats make more speedily for
weight and adipose tissue. The mix
ture of cream and buftermilk forms a
liquid that is not as rich as clear
cream and not as poor and thin as
buttermilk. Almost every one likes
it. 1t is best to eat a cracker or a
slice of bread with it. Long hours of
restful sleep start all the little tissue
formations to building up their padded
fat cells. Bat, in order to sleep well,
one must exercise. The lazy loafer

THE NEW HAvEN's TRoLLEYs.

In view of the troubles that are be-
ing experienced by the trolley roads,
the question as to what the New Ha-
ven road is going to do with its large
holdings of electric lines comes natu-
rally to the front. According to the
decision of the federal court the New
Haven road must dispose of its troll
ley holdings by July l, 1921. The Sc
curities at the present time have a
book value of s1o0.0o0,000, the Con-
necticut and Rhode Island companies
having been for some time under the
direction of trustees named by the
court, but recently the latter has
gone into the hands OF receivers.
The New Haven invested heavily in
trolley lines when it was realized that
the trolleys were big feeders of the
railroads. 1t was expected that they
would be the means of increasing the
railroad traffic, or that transportation
in general would be controlled through
the ownership of both. Conditions
have changed since that time and even
since it was decreed that the road
must dispose of the holdings in these
electric lines.
With the present situation in mind
it is certainly not a favorable time to
think of disposing of such securities
In fact it was not thought at the time
that the trustees were named that it
was wise to attempt the sale them
More favorable conditions were antic-
ipated, but instead of improving they
have gone the other way until today
the state is being asked to come to
the assistance of the Connecticut COM
pany to keep it going.
No one can tell what the state Of af-
fairs will be two years hence con-
corning the trolleys. Certainly il
would be a decided hardship on the
road to sell under present conditions
and unless a decided improvement
follows a petition for extension of time
would appear to be entirely justified.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

When ironing have a number of coat
hangers to put things on.
When using an iron get a brick,
white one preferred, for stand; it
will keep the iron hot longer.
When washing skirts lay them open
in form of box plat thus allowing
soap to be applied to edge of hem on a
fiat surface. making work more eff
ticent.
Among the most difficult stains are
those made by coffee; with care, how
ever, the stains can be removed from
the most delicate silk or wooden fab
RIGS. Rub the marks gently with a
little pure glycerin, then rinse it in
luke warm water. lay a cloth over the
damp part on the wrong side and press
with cool iron until dry. Do not
wet more of the material than is abb
solutely necessary.
1t is a very good idea to have a lit
tie bowl containing very thin starch on
the ironing board when starched things
are to be ironed. If a speck appears
on the object to be ironed, rub it off
with the starch instead of with plain
water, and so run no risk of leaving
an unstarched place in a starched sur
face.
The starching of colered things is in
deed an art. for starch must be care
fully used if it is not to show on a
colored fabric.

CURTAiLING THE COTTAGE,

we prefer very light and airy draper
les to these old fashioned heavy ones
that people used to like, VIC still cling
TO some sort of window curtains, even
in the simple summer cottage Perhaps
it is because the curtaining materials
are so very attractive that we still de-
sire them. For certain it is that the
shops have many lovely things to show
when one asks for curtain fabrics.
0 course. the silky curtain fabrics
that are not faded by the sun are the
most desirable in many cases There
are many grades of this material. One
at $3.50 a yard is wioe enough for two
curtains from each width. One at 80
cents is only half as wide-but even so
is cheaper. In both there is a wide
assortment of colors-and there are
combinations in cltangeable fashion. of
blue and gray, brown and green, black
and brown, violet and gray and other
colors.
There is the usual assortment of ere
tonnes-that is TO say, there is an as

A BAD SHOWING,

Even though there may be little I'M
derstanding of the many details in
connection with the reporting of the
casualty lists from the time the first
record is made until it is possible to
make the fact public, there neverthe-
less seems TO be an unjustified delay.
This was manifested months ago after
the days when our troops were getting
into the hottest of the fighting and in
spite OF the fact that the war was
over, as far as the fighting is con-
cerned, months ago it is still appar-
ent.
In connection with the killed in ac-
ton, there are still presented occa-
sionally the names of those who were
killed on the battlefield which could
not have occurred later than Novern-
Der II last. These may be due to COR
rections that are being made as the
result Of checking up the lists, but

verely wounded, while it was set forth
that in many instances the slight
