THE VICTORY LOAN.

Secretary Glass of the treasury de-
partment is already making plans for
the floating Of the next war loan to
be known as the Victory loan and he
is fully conscious of the task which
lies before him as the head of the de-
partment and the country from
which the needed money must be Sc
cured. But. he is nevertheless opti-
mistic as he has reason to be for the
people have stood nobly by the govern
ment on the previous occasions and
there is no reason to think but what
they will on this occasion.
Just when the loan is to be asked
for is not certain but it will in all
probability be in April, so that it can
be gotten out of the way before May,
but the amount, the period l. will run
or the rate have not been determined,
or if they have been they have not
made public Secretary Glass indicates
his grasp of the situation when he de-
clares: I'VE are not going to float the
next Liberty loan on a commercial
/ basis meaning thereby that il is not
going to be solely an investment az
peal. for while that will of course be
made because of the security offered,
| it is nevertheless recognized, as he
says, that I'VE have got to invoke the
! patriotism of the American people"
The patriotism of the people of this
| country has been a shining light dur
| ing the period of the war. 1t has re-
sponded generously to every appeal
| that has been made for every worthy
cause. 1t is fully conscious of the
| fact that the government has war OBJ
legations which must be met even
though the fighting has stopped and
| that same patriotism is going to
come to the front and met such de-
nand as is made upon it. There will
be no disposition to display a lapse OF
interest in seeing that the government
meets it's obligations. 1t is going tc
be a chance to show our thanks other
wise than by words for What has be3r
ACCOMPLISHED

AUTOMOBILE LAWS

For several sessions Of the general
Assembly there has been much atten-
ton given to new laws regarding the
automobile This has been needed be-
cause of the large increase in the num-
Der. the many accidents and fatalities
which have resulted and the demand
Tor greater safety in the use of the
highways.
II is encoura girg to read in the re-
port Of Commissioner Stocked that
while there Was an increase of 10 per
cent. in the receipts Of the depart
nent for the year ending Septem Der
30 which means much larger num-
her Of cars and drivers, that there was
drop in the number of fatal acct
dents Of A. over the previous year and
nine less than III 1916, the total for
the past year being III.
There were, however, a total Of ali
accidents amounting to 1,454, with / =
$40 cases where licenses were sus-
pended for -he year and there are l =
90 cases where such suspensions still
exist, but the commissioner properly
calls attention to the fact which can.
not he lost sight of that there are a
great many instances where children
running ABOUT or playing in the
streets are concerned and it can be
recognized that the responsibility OF
parents in this respect cannot be dis.
regarded. There are likewise mary
Instances where older people should
exercise greater care in the crossins
of highways.
When the commissioner therefor,
recommends, a number of changes il
the automobile laws it is to be realized
that they are based upon the expert
ence he has had in dealing with tn
many problems Of the department anc
they doubtless will as they should ge
eonsiderate attention. THERE'S nee
Of properly curbing the careless ant
reckless drivers but there is likewis
need of correcting other defects an,

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The main on the corner says: There
are those who plead for justice and
there are others who do their utmost
to get away from it.
With states still ratifying the fed
eral prohibition amendment it shows
what speed there was behind the
movement
For the death of Liebknecht and
Luxembourg no one appears to be as
much TO blame as themselves.
In view of the appalling results of
the explosion Of the molasses tank in
Boston, there's no telling what may
happen to a cracker barrel.
Of course the prohibitionists must
be careful to see that they are consis-
tent in whatever celebrating that they
do.
The former emperor of Germany is
said to be growing beard. Possibly
he is getting ready to join the boil
sheviki.
The Ford plant for turning out
| Eagle boats doesn't appear to have
met with the same success that the
automobile factory did.
| Of course JaequeIine Lebaudy prob
ably understands by this time that
! the way is being paved for her to en-
ter on a profitable stage career.
The claim is made that the masses
in Petrograd are subsisting on oats
but there is certain element that in
dicates that vodka is its steady diet.
| The fact that Germany has been
! found constructing more submarines
just because it was not ordered other
wise, indicates that it didn't intend to
I be short Of the means of bringing
about another Lusitania case if des
peration ever demanded it.
| 1t begins to look as if the provinces
of Russia were going to have as much
trouble amongst themselves as if they
were training among the Balkans.
According to all the conflicting re-
ports about the return of the 26th di.
vision it is quite evident that it is use
less to expect it until it arrives.
One can imagine that if Postmastel
General Burleson should intimate tina
he was going to give up his job fo
pecuniary reasons there would be al
immediate clamor for a popular sub
scription in his behalf.

COAL SAVING.

Have weather stripping on all your
window castings. Put storm windows
on on the north side of the house The
warm, comfortable cold winter homes
in the northwest are a great lesson
in that respect.
Shut off any rooms that do not need
heating. You will be just as well off
without them; better, in fact, as they
will then call for less work.
Sift your ashes from the stove and
sift those from the furnace, too. From
each sitting you will get enough coal
to run the furnace over night.
Don't burn coal in open fireplaces.
90 per cent. of such heat escapes
through the chimney. You may love
your CHEEKY open fire. It is a sacrifice
to give it up perhaps. But, compared
with the sacrifices of life and love
that the brave families overseas are
making it is really nothing to renounce
this pleasure. Burn wood in your
open fireplace when you need the
cheer

After a long wait, and list had been
added to, 1 found my own name, but
not that of either son, so l called on
Mr.. Raymond and he told me the
painter had made a mistake, and he
would have it corrected.
Then the board was made larger
and more names added, and still my
name was there, but names of my
sons were not there, so l again call
Ell on Mr.. Raymond, who said paint
er had been very busy, but he would
see that the correction was made.
After the armistice was signed. war

year and half in the army, came
home on leave and on one of his
rambles he saw the list names sup
posed to represent the quota of Nor

He asked me why his name was
not there. I could not tell him. but
called up Mr.. Raymond aud asked him.
He said he had been very busy. and
so had the painter, but he would have
the matter attended to by Christmas.
BY Christmas, or very soon after,
my name was gone and that of the
sailor was on, but up to January 18TH

after war was declared, and, has
worked his way up to rank of cap
tain in the regular army, Yet is de-
MED the local honor Of having his
name appear on board with the 9TH
ers.
I called at Mr.. Raymonds office
, again today, and learned that he is
| i'll Florida, and that my wishes viii
be attended to in the spring, as il
so cold now that the painter can
not work.
I have no doubt there are Others
who could tell a similar tale i'll fact
l have names of half a dozen.
Is there any way in which tha
work could be finished before spring
| and do you suppose the people o
Norwich realize what an efficient e.
man has charge of that work?
If painters work has been inspect
ed, and checked up before he got hi'
pay. it is barely possible he migh
find a day warm enough to make thu
additions and corrections.

it could refuse to comply with the pro-
vision.
Turkey as d fighting nation was
down and out when it dropped out OF
the war. 1t was powerless to offer sue
cessful resistance although it could
continue to kill and murder its sub
ject peoples as it has continued to
do, but to think that it could defend
Medina against any and all corners
was ridiculous.
To make that country keep it's prom
ises it was necessary to threatento de-
stroy the Dardanelles forts, which form
one of the greatest systems of de-
tense in that region, but whether
that was done or not Turkey could
have had no hope of avoiding compli-
ance. Backed into corner it could
do nothing else and it ought to have
realized that the defending of the
city against the control of the allies
would not only have meant more trou-
bic but it would have been followed by
increased demands from the allies.

THE CALIFORNIA CONVICTIONS.

The verdict of the jury at Sacra-

form of dynamiting the residence of

south and results in the lynching OF

without regard to the law of the state
1t makes no difference where this
occurs the only way to deal with it is
to apply the firm hand Of justice. I'm.

Waistcoats and waistccaT blouses
are among the newest fashions from
Paris and are one more of the many
charming old fashioned modes which
have been adapted to present day
styles. This particula" fashion was
taken from The clothes WON, not by
the women, but by the men of long
ago. for waistcoats of varied and bril-
liant fabrics were the garments most
delighted in by the fastidicus beaux
of other days.
No less varied and fancifdl are thu
waistcoats of today. They are made
in the most delicate of chiffons. as
well as in such wool matcrias as these
war times offer. Some of them con-

PEACE CONFERENCE PUBLICITY.

1t is fully understood that the peace
conference now in session at Versailles
has wide powers, but it will be learn

decided not to carry out the provisions
of closing the sessions to the news

whom il is depended for the world to
be informed Of the doings.
The reconsideration of the attitude
in regard to publicity is welcome one.
and particularly SO in view of the fact
that one Of the principles of President
Wilson was against star chamber
methods in the making of treaties, an
Aause which has been the cause Of
endless trouble among the nations of
Europe
Tho protest Of the correspondent

have access TO the sources where news

nittcd TO the general sessions and that
they will have opportunities of learn
ing what goes on in the executive ses-
niour.

SURRENDERING MEDINA.

Just what Turkey could have been
thinking of, if in fact the Turkish gov
eminent itself was responsible, in en-
deavoring to avoid the surrender of
Medina which was made one of the
provisions Of the terms under which
the lighting was stopped, is hard to
understand. But perhaps it is a waste
of time to try to find out why Turkey
does certain things when it is known
that it is actuated by much different
motives than those which govern other
people.
Medina Is of special importance to
Turkey because of the Mohammedar
religion. but whep it had agreed to sur.
render it, it should have been realized
that it was in no position to do any
thing else. 1t was forced to accept

OYSTER LORE.

Oysters are in their prime and a hot
oyster dish is easily prepared for the
nome luncheon or supper. Many of
the methods of cooking these shellfish

among those present.
In cooking it must be remembered
that oysters contain an albuminous
substance which hardens at high tenn
perature, just as the albumen of ar

FOR STRAW MATING,

When putting down n new straw
mating do not cut it to fit corners:
just give it q thorough wetling with
4 cloth which has been dipped in ho'
water to which cupful of salt has
been added.
When it IS thoroughly soaked the
mating becomes as pliable as rubbe -,
and can be turned ua'ier without
breaking. This makes a neater fin

GELATIN MIXTURES.

In molding gelatin mixtures the
chilling may be FASTENED by having at
hand a roasting pan filled with cracked
ice, into which the molds may be set
In fact, many things may be cooled in
this way such as salad ingredients
etc. A little common salt sprinkIed on
the ice quickens the operation.
If the dishes in which ice cream or
salad are to be served are chilled in
the refrigerator the problem of melting
ice cream or wilted salad is practically
solved.
Frozen desserts nodded in melon
