SECRETARY REDFIELD RESIGNS.

Though it was intirnated at the time that the decided difference of opinion between Secretary Redheld and Di- rector General Hines on the question of price fixing. which was to govern the purchase of supplies by the rail- roads under government operation as well as those made by others. would result in the retirement of the former inasmuch as his plan was defeated, it is declared that such is not the req son for the resignation of Secretary Redfeld which becomes effective Nov ember first. As in similar cases in the past more may be learned about this in the future.
 Secretary Redheld is the sixth to resign from President Wilson's cabi- nets. The first to leave was Secre- tary Garrison of the war department. He was followed by Secretary of state Bryan and later Attorney Gen eral McReynolds gave up his job to go on the supreme court bench. Sub sequently, and during the presidents second term Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo felt obliged to seek a rest and a bigger salary and Attorney General Gregory also resigned his job
 As secretary of commerce Mfr. Red field has not served for six and a half years without criticism in spite of his long framing CoH1IneTC1dl IlIe pre- vious to being called to that cabinet position, but even so it would have been learned with a great deal more satisfaction by the country at large had the resignation come from the postmaster general than the secretary of commerce. Not only has there been widespread protest against MT. Bur Ieson but there has been a clamor for his removal. and even despite the new claims that are being made by the re- tiring civil service commissioner re- garding his acts there seems no pros pect that he will quit until his term of office is completed.

THE RESERVATIONS

Inasmuch as the foreign rela tions committee of the senate has completed it's deliberations upon the treaty of peace. determined upon the reserva lions that it believes should be made and agreed upon the resolution for the ratification of the treaty with reservations. 1t is to be expected that report will be made to the upper house of congress within q few days. Ma Jor1ry and minority reports are to be made and upon these the senate will take action.
 Regardless Of all that 1t has been claimed that the committee will urge. 1t is disclosed that there is no recom- mendation that the treaty be defeated but in each and every one of the four reservations urged is there stand taken in behalf Of true America nism
 By the reservations this country would be governed by it's notice to the league rather than the decision of other nations when it's membership therein would cease. It would decline to assume any obligation to go to war al the direction of any other nations for the preservation of territorial in tegrlty or political independence of any other country. It would insist up- on having full Jurisdiction over all do- mestic matters including political questions of it's own. and it would de- cline to submit for arbitration or in quiry by the assembly or council q ny questions which in the Judgment of the United States depends upon or re- lates to it's long established policy commonly known as the Monroe doe rritle.
 This evidences the purpose of not putting into the hands of other coun- tries matters which are decidedly our own, and the setting up of safe guards for dealing with them without dictation from those who should have no voice therein.

 But in connection herewith there cannot faH 10 he due recognition ac- corded to the one upon whose shoul- ders felI the great responsibility of guiding the great war machine that was sent from this country lie went with confidence. knowing that he had thH solid backing of the country. He was given q big task to perform. a task that the enemy didn't believe could be accomplished. and though the largest thing of the kind ever at tempted by this country he tackled it with characteristic skill and determi- nation. The confidence in his coun- rry's hacking and the response of his men did not fail him. He accomplish e what he sought TO do and today he comes home with victory perched on his banners.

RUMANIA.

Just what effect bolshevism is hav- ing in influencing Rumania in it's de- lance of the orders of the supreme council at Paris remains to be seen T. has been a work in that country for a considerable time and it was only recently that the bolsheviki were seeking to arrange peace with tha. country. The idea of Rumania show ing any inclination in that direction is all the more surprising when one stops to consider how the promises that were made by Russia Of giving it support if it would enter the war against the central powers were al most totally ignored.
 But whether it is due to bolshevisrn or not Rumania should understand the lnadvisa bility of defying the supreme council. That country was treated r1ercilessly by the Germans because it went into the war against il. It was cleared of it's supplies. it's oil fields were wrecked and it's people were made to suffer great 5rivations. Nat urally it could be expected to resent that treatment. but when it under takes 10 carry out much the same sort of tactics against the Hungarians now that the war is over, it must be realized that the Germans are not be- ing affected by such retaliatory meas ures, but that increased suffering is being caused in Hungary even as it was in Rumania by unjust actions.
 It is the purpose of the supreme council to end this injustice. Rumania is a small nation and certainly the council cannot afford to overlook the --aanner in which its authority is ba-

CLEANING 4 SKIRT.

The woman who goes away on Q va cation wearing black clothes has far more trouble in keeping them clean than do the women who wear colors.
 Her black skirt gets dusty. show spots and look seedy because they cant go to wash.
 It might be wise for her to heed the following suggestion. which was given by cleaner and which takes a little trouble, but the result is satisfac- tory.
 F irst, brush the skirt carefully. See that the whisk broom f~ thoroughly cleaned afterward, or use another one to dip in cup of strong coffee to which has been added one teaspoon of ammonia.
 Before applying the whisk broom shake it quite a little so it will not wet the skirt too much. Then brush the fabric quickly.
 If spots remain. and they usually do, clean them with a small sponge dipped in ammonia alcohol and water in equal parts.
 It is best not to try this mixture on grease spots such as come from the food at the table. Remove these by spongtng with salt dissolved in all cohoI, in the, proportion of one to four.
 When the skirt is dry. cover the spots with wooien cloth. which is slightly damp. and then press quick ly with hot iron.

 Nothing brings surer relief to in famed eyes than a wash with boracic acid water. And one thing that it's user must remember is to have the preparation free from any foreign particlcles, however minute or they will cause irritation. The boracic acid should be thoroughly dissolved in water that has been boiled and cooled.
 Our state of mind and body during the day depends a great deal upon the start we get in the morning. If we want to feel really fit" we will never neglect taking a few simple exer- cises-bending and twisting from the trunk and deep breathing with chest expanded. for instance. and if it is possible follow these movements with tepid bath or a cold plunge.

REDUCING LIVING COSTS.

In the fight against the high cost of living there are evidences which in- dicate that progress is being made in l the right direction. While there does not appear to have been any decided
 drop as yet the upward tendency has been checked and there is a slight re-
 cession in certain directions all of which is hopeful and probably indica- tive of better results if there is the general cooperation that is needed by all concerned.
 Some slight benefit is doubtless be- ing received from the way in which the government is distributing it's surplus supplies. Another help is com ing from the decrease in the purchases from abroad because of the condition surrounding the rate of exchange. At the same time there is benefit being obtained from the smoking out of the profiteers and hoarders while the fair price efforts are likewise boosting in the right direction.
 Mir. Hoover, who Is man who generally knows what he is talking about, makes the statement that cheers when he declares that the spec ulators in food have driven prices up but they are unable to finish the job and the corner is about to collap pse, and that good news is followed by the statement of J. Ogden Armour to the effect that all kinds of foodstuffs will decline in price and that there will be a considerable drop in meat prices soon. This latter is in keeping with the report of last week from Chicago that price reductions were coming.
 With all these forces at work and all such favorable indications for ac complis hing this desired end nothing should be more fully realized than the importance of preventing any rash moves that would frustrate such an attainment. It is time for all to lend their cooperation for lower prices, to give all reasonable assist ance to an increase in production ra- ther than to cause obstruction to the work and give assistance to the price boosters through failure to take common sense view of the situation.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
 That Attack at the Cemetery.

MT Editor: In Saturdays Bulletin under the title Life in Norwich as it appears to Hartford we saw that the editor of the Hartford Courant gives an account of what occurred near St Joseph's cemetery last Tuesday even ing. but he has a funny idea of the man who lives in the neigh borhood.
 In the first place. why in the world didn't he print the name of the man, since he copied his news from The Norwich Bulletin? Perhaps he was afraid I would resent it. Well. he needn't he.
 It is true that I was the first one on the scene of the conflict, and to my thinking it would take as big q cow ard as the ones who attacked the car crew not to answer the call of help. Besides let me tell you it takes mighty big towards to come and hide behind the hedge Of my garden. breaking 2 to wait in the dark and jump on men who are not ready to defend them selves at such a sudden attack in the dark.
 They didn't wait for me to be on the road but scattered before I had a chance to he near enough to recognize them. Perhaps they had a better opinion of mo than the Hartford Courant editor.
 Please, MT. Editor of the Hartford Courant. remember that I have lived for over twenty years in Norwich was made a citizen fourteen years ago, in Hartford. and am French born. For the past five years the French have shown beyond question that there isn't a coward amongst them, and I am no exception. Now. MT. Hartford Courant Editor. if you have any more to say. come and say it to me. and don't hide. I am ready to answer you.
 There is a saying that you shouldn't judge others by yourself.

 Heavy Japanese crepe makes de- 1ightful curtains for summer. cottages. All medicine and drugs must be carefully kept out of the reach of chil- dren.
 If bread and butter forms the basis of a meal the rest of it must be sav- ory.
 Outdoor luncheon sets made of un- bleached muslin are delightful to em- broider.
 A shelf devoted to newspapers and magazines alone is a distinct help to- ward tidy housekeeping.
 Anything whatever that saves steps in the preparation of meals Is not an expense, but a necessity.
 The children can blow bubbles with anordinary spool if it is first wet and than dipped in strong soapsuads.
 Place pieces of flannel or plotting paper between fine china plates. This will prevent them from being scratch ed.
 When setting a table place knives at tn right of tn plat, forks at the left and the soup spoon beyond the knives. Teaspoons, for entrees and desserts are placed when those cours- eS are served.
 When you spill grease on a floor or table. pour cold water on it at once to prevent it from soaking into the wood.

WHITE COSTUME

One of the loveliest frocks on a summer hotel veranda during the re- cord hot spell was made of white handkerchief linen, the coolest looking fabric that woman can put on in warm weather. There is always something g highly distinguished about a linen weara bie, and this dainty frock had no trimming but tucks; several deep tucks in the straight. gathered skirt, and groups of very small tucks up and down and across the bodice and sleeve. The sash was of hadkerchief linen, too, hemmed along the edges, and ends and was tied in a crisp bow at the back. A white straw shade hat, with white wings and white but toned shoes and stockings completed an exquisitely distictive costume for a warm day.

THE NEW BLOUSES

The shops are really allurins in their display of the new overblouses in fabric and styles suitable for sum mer wear. It is perhaps an interest ing thing that wash fabrics have been made to serve so admirably for these blouseS-for there was time when it seemed that only chiffon and georgette and soft crepe would do for them.
 But now linen, organdie, batiste, ratine-lots of ratine. too. which is another of those interesting evidences of a return to favor of frabric or style that has seemingly gone all these and other summer fabrics, heavy homespun, crashlize looking things, are used for the overblouse.
 One thing that marks many of the bIouses is little tassels and hanging buttons and fringe.
 There are all sorts of these pendant decorations from sleeve ends and hems and just hanging down from any other part of the blouse itself.

LAUNDRY NOTES

To give a slight stiffness to fine lace rinse in milk and iron while damp.
 Lace can be stiffened by rinsing in milk instead of using starch.
 If clothes are hung on a damp day and brought in before they are quite dry they can be ironed without rolling. To remove grass stains from white hannels take equal parts of yolk of egg and pure glyceriu,a, apply to the stain and leave on for an hour or longer.
 A grape basket for the clothespins with a wire hook fastened to the handle will save much time when hanging out the clothes, for 1t may he pushed along the line and always will he handy
