While divorces are easy to obtain,
marriages are still easier TO contract.
Mnay people are married because
it seems a good idea at the time, and
they know that both law and public
sentiment will make it easy for them
to escape the bond if it proves irk-
some.
And yet while ardent lovers pursue
willing maidens, and While the reas-
oning power Of the average man is
not keen in penetrating The eXigecies

tinue those appeals to the law Of man
to dissolve those brought together

PHILIPPINE INDEPENDENCE.

In view Of the policy which has been
frequently declared by this country in
regard TO the Philippines, the desire of
some on the islands fo; independence
and the question of self determine
ton which is at present occupying a
prominent position in the deliberations
Of the peoples of the world the visit
to this country of a commission seek
ing the extension Of freedom to the is
lands is only in accord with the sit
uation. The communication of Presi-
dent Wilson to the commission was
carefully worded statement intended to
convey cncoura cement and quite in ac-
cord with the previous attitude which
he has taken in regard to those pos
sessions.
There can be no doubt but what the
Philippines are due for independence
but it is question today as it was two
or three years ago as to whether the
Filipinos are able to properly take care
Of themselves. One difficulty may seem
TO be removed. if the league of nations
becomes reality, by the provisions
therein which would protect them
against aggression and see that a
mandatory was provided should they
not be able to take care of themselves.
It might therefore seem that we
could well cast them adrift at this time
and leave them to the tender ,mercies
of themselves and the league. We could
and would have set them free long ago
IL we had had no interest in their well
fare. Should they be given their indie
pendence and a revolution develop
there in a few years to undo all that
has been done for them, we might say
that it would not be our fault, but that
would call for the appointment of a
mandatory and it would be quite natu-
raj that this country would be asked TO
assume the task. That would mean do
ing all over again what has once been
done. il would mean reconstructing
what was needlessly demolished and
in view of the advantages equalling in
dependence which they now have the
question this country must decide is
whether it will not be better for all
concerned to retain them as they are
until there can be better assurance OF
a stable self government.

CONCERNING WOMEN.

A Washington, D. c.. department
store recently tried out several women
as floor walkers and they proved so
efficient that other stores are now fol-
lowing suit.
In Utah the employment Of women
more than nine hours a day or more
than f1fty-four hours a week is held to
be legal where emergencies arise.
During the year ending June so civil
service examinations for government
positions were taken by 1877 $40 women
as compared with 25.457 the previous
year. This is an increase of 441 per
cent. in the number OF women appli-
cants.
A woman testifying before the
United States war labor board claimed
that she had been employed i'll a Vir-
ginia factory at wages OF 1112 cents an
hour at the beginning and later re-
ceived $40 per week for the same work
that men doing similar work received
SIS a week for.

ORANGE PEEL DAINTY.

A harmless and palatable dainty for
the children as well as older folk is
candied orange peel. While it is some
little trouble to prepare it is well worth
the effort. Here is an excellent recipe
offered by one whose candied orange
peel is the delight of her family and
her friends:
-Four oranges make one quart jarful.
Take four oranges, cut into quarters,
and remove peehng so as not to break
it. Let peeling stand overnight in cold
water. Next day cut peeling into
narrow strips with scissors which have
been sterilized. Put strips of peeling
in cold water to boil, changing the
water several times. Boil for about
on hour or until tender. This removes
the poison in the rind. Take a good
cup of sugar and put III the same dish
with one-half cup, of water. When
melted put strips in syrup and boil
until syrup is used up. Take out and
lay on platter, stirring strips around
until they are a little cool and LOOK
Sugary.

Either the bolshevik leaders are going
to get stronger or they must Of neces-
sity lose their grip. Thus far their
success has hinged upon the fear which
they have been able to instill in those
outside their actual following.
Bloodshed and starvation have gain
ed them support and weakened their
opponents, but the question is how
long this can be continued. 1t is re-
lated that Petrograd is far from being
the populous and busy center that it
was. Deaths from many causes and
fight have removed a large portion of
its people, so that not a third of its
three million are there today. The
bolshevil1i are depending upon what
they can force from the wealth of the
communities. There is bound to be an
end to that and when that comes if
there are any left there is bound to be
a change. Time will tell whether that
change is already taking place.

MOVABLE TRELLlS.

II the sun comes in at the east end
of your porch of a morning and the
west end of an afternoon, and you do
not care to go to the expense of avn
ings or screens, have a movable ivy
trellis, which is a joy to the eye as well
as protection from the sun.
The foundation for the trellis is a
long box, perhaps six feet long if your
porch is as wide as six feet, for the
trellis should extend almost across the
end of the porch to act as a screen.
The box in which the ivy is planted
sets on q long platform only slightly
raised from the floor on castors. The
light trellis, or wood framework which
supports the ivy, will be built up from
the box; an upright about six feet
high at either end, and a crosspiece
over the top from one upright to the
other.
Lengths of Irvine or lattice work of
chicken wire may be stretched from
box to crosspiece as a support for the
growing vines.

DICTATES OF FASHION.

Coat Innings are bright in color and
rich in material.
Most suit coats show the normal
shoulder and armhole.
Blouses are rather elaborate and
usually match the suit.
Sometime blue gabardine of two
shades is used in suit
Tricolette is better liked than ever
Taffeta is used for the newest coats.
Wolfe Innings are suggested for coats
Once again elaborate jewels are in
favor.
Side panels are a feature in skirt
trimmings.
Embroidery will for the present be
less used.
The tan shades will be especially
popular this spring.
Quantity f1ounced skirts are pron1i-
sed
The most useful brassieres come
very near being corsets.
Mere cord or ribbons are now substi-
tuted for real belts.
Organize and Devonshire print make
a new combination.
Navy blue and tan still hold the CEN
ter of fashions stage.

coNNEcTlcUT's FARM PRODUCE.

As the result of the efforts which
have been put forth in Connecticut in
the past several years, there is reason
TO believe that far greater interest is
being taken in the production of farm
produce. We arc still far from the
point where it can be said that we are
raising the equivalent of what is con-
stunned but some progress is being
made in that direction even though the
most attention is devoted to industrial
activity. This is borne out by the re-
port to the effect that in the past ten
years Connecticut has increased it's
TILED acres by 66.154 or - per cent.
And while il has been putting more
land under cultivation it has also been
giving increased attention to sheep,
hog and cattle raising. In all these di-
recuons the gains can be attributed to
the campaigns Of education which
have been conducted.
1t is not to he expected that the state
is going to stand still with this gain. It
still has plenty of land which can be
made better use of and it is constant
~ recognizing the opportunities which
are before it. There is no reason in
fact why it ought not to be said OF
this state as It was recently said OF
Mississippi by =. St Louis stockyard
representative that it had Shipped
more hogs in the last three months
than in the last three years. In the
last two months more than 81 900 hogs
have gone to the st. Louis market
Now when buyer learns that a car
load of hogs are from Mississippi he
takes them quickly and wants more
That's reputation worth having"
The truth about such IN assertion
cannot he denied and though Connect.

markets there is no reason why il

Of its needs and do it handsomely.

Bonuses For Teachers.

Mr. Editor: In these days when SO
many individuals and corporations, as
we'll as our whole beloved country are
enjoying enlargement OF heart, it is
gratifying to see some of our towns
right up to the mark in granting bon
uses to their faithful teachers,
Parents, who have visited schools
with open and unprecedented minds, APP
preciate the hard schedule of work
our teachers perform under state SUI
pervision.
A neighboring town with only a
thirteen mill tax to its credit is big
enough to give bonuses to its teachers
We rotice there are many towns with
a twenty mill tax and wonder if these
same towns are liberal and broad
minded enough to share the same with
the teachers in the line of bonuses,
thus encouraging the teachers and
reaping a reward of well taught cit
liens now in the making.

LAUNDRY HINTS:

Underwear should be ironed on the
right side, colored clothes on the wrong
side.
Boil a perspiration stained garment
in water in which you have put little
washing soda.
Although cotton crepe waists are not
supposed to be ironed, they are greatly
improved if laid on a thick Turkish
towel and the edges pressed with a
warm mot hoD iron.
To dry a WOODEN sweater without
pulling it out of shape line d big pan

way they look as good as new.
