JAPAN AND KOREA.

Over in Korea the people have been Seeking independence. Though Japan has been in control there for the past A years there are those who have hoped that the time would come when it would be made free. Whatever the been the latest move by Japan must be considerab ble shock thereto.
 Japan has announced through a that in the future Korea will be a part of the Japanese empire on terms of equality with the Japanese people. That means that the Koreans will have the same rights and privi leges as those in the island kingdom and that they will secure benefits in addition to those which they have previously had. That this is a con- cession on the part of Japan a re- suit of the demand for independence will be maintained but it remains to be seen whether it will satisfy the Koreans though it will be difficult for them to do otherwise than accept
 That Japan has done much for Ko- req since it has been in control there if will have to be admitted. It has in- troduced valuable Improvements and contributed to the prosperity of that province, yet it cannot get around the claim that it has been doing all this for it's own benefit. for by the edict just issued it becomes evident that there is no idea of setting Korea free in the future. The fact is that it is bound closer than ever with Japan's apparent purpose being to keep the trouble there to the minimum and as Japan is much the larger it is difficult to see where Koreans are going to have much to say if the real Japanese desire otherwise. It is not impossible that it indicates Japan's policy toward other portions of China or possibly toward eastern Asia in general. It will at least cause much thought to be turned in that direction.

APRONS OF cHINrz

A young woman who very much ad- mred the bright gazed chintz which formed the window shades, slipovers and overcurtains in a friends home was. presented with a yard-long rem nant to be used flor pillow cover.'
 But as the young woman in ques- ton felt that glazed chintz would not makes especially pleasing or com fortabie covers for down pillows she planned another use for the gay pat termed fabric.
 A circuor apron pattern that crossed over in the back and but toned on the shoulders was chosen. The chintz was cut very carefully with straight, even edges and bound all the way around with rose colored linen braid just the shade of the most prominent flowers in the pattern. Rose coiored pearl buttons finished. the shoulders.
 Because of it's smooth finish this apron did not become soiled nearly so quickly as one of ordinary eingham, but when it did require laundering was treated to an extra amount of starch and ironed on the right side while very damp.

LOSSES FROM FIRES.

Many are the reasons that prevail at all times for keeping to the mini mum and preventing whenever and wherever possible the great fire losses that this country has to stand every month. All months are not alike, for tunately or unfortunately as the case may be. but one of the regrettable facts regarding the fire losses is that in spite of all the warnings that have been issued. the precautions that have been urged and the advisability which cannot be disregarded of adopting preventive measures the destruction from fires continues to be recorded in large figures.
 For the month of July fire caused destruction of property to the value of $20,19S.600. That is at the rate of about two-thirds of a million a day. That the change from war to peace conditions in this country has served to cut down the number of fires is shown by the fact that July this year had losses aggregating four million less than the same month of 1918, but when we stop to look at the figures for the same month in 1917 we find that there is still just as great a chance for improvement for then the loss was just over sfs.000.000.
 When we stop to think that half if not three quarters of these fires could have been prevented it shows what a

AMENDING THE FOOD ACT.

That congress is in sympathy with the request for additional legislation in order to deal with the prof1teers and hoarders is indicated by the quick action that has been taken by the lower house in approving the amend ment to the Lever act. The impress sion has prevailed that there is at present sufficient law to deal with such people both by federal and state authorities. but it is evident neverthe- less that inasmuch as Attorney Gen. eral Palmer and others do not think so, in order to do a good job. there is thus far manifested every disposition on the part of congress to provide it.
 It can be appreciated from this that it represents the -.sen,init nt of .a. country. There is no disposition to tolerate the gouging of the public by those who deal in or handle impor- tant commodities just because they have seen the opportunity for such operations and there happens to be a lack of laws or regulations. Such a situation prevailing the only thing that remains to be done is to meet it and meet it effectively, and in view of what he has had to say about it there will be no excuse for the at- torney general to do otherwise as soon as the addition to the law is passed.
 The early action of the house leaves the matter before the senate. Even though there may be signs of price reductions without such an addition to the war time food bill. it is never theless of. the utmost importance that prompt and proper consideration should be given to perfecting this amendatory act by the upper house. There are the needs of the whole country that require attention and this cannot fail to be taken into con- sideration by the senators busy though they may be with the work before them.

The history of our regiment as recorded in Washing ton is That we went into the battle of Port Hudson with 235 men, and had 176 killed and wounded Cor in other words. three -fourths of the men engaged were killed or wounded) Again when Port Hudson surrendered, and we went inside the fort, our regf- ment was accorded the second regi- ment in the line.

DespoiIine Devils Hopyard.

Mir. Editor Many of the residents in eastern Connecticut know of the great natural beauty of the region called the Devils Hopyard, in the eastern part of the town of East Haddam. in Mil lington. Do they know that steam sawmill has invaded the place and that many of the fine henllocks are already laid low. and that q wholesale de- ried on?
 Is there no way, by public sentiment or otherwise. to prevent such wantcn slaughter? Not a tree is spared even by the roadside, and the plan we are told. is to clear very large space be- fore the work is done. and only the fact that a club owns some of the Ia nd lies in the way of the whole region

THE MEANEsT FRAUD.

The swindler has, no heart. It makes no difference from whom he makes his rakeoff so long as he gets it If given a chance to state his preference he might be more willing to take it from the rich than the poor, but for the lack of an aIterna- tive he goes out and gets it wherever he can and it is quite as often that he lands those who cannot afford to lose the toll that he takes as it is that he draws it from those who can. No act is too mean and no method too low for such a class to resort to and the great regret is that any leniency at all is shown to such frauds when caught.
 The meanest one that can be called to mind at the present time is the fellow. who sets out with the deter imitation of actually robbing the poor woman who is trying to make the ends meet the better through the pur- chase of the government surplus food supplies that are being placed on the market Understanding that such would appeal to the poor particularly, one swindler has hit upon the idea of selling to such people an order for the food, representing that he is an agent of the United States food admins tration, but when presented in an- ticipation of taking home such sup plies as called for the purchaser finds that he or she has been buncoed.
 It is bad enough to engage in prof iteering, where buyers are over charged for the goods. but it is far worse when nothing whatever is re- ceived for the money turned over Too much effort cannot be made to run down those who are engaged in this despicable work and then impose up- on them the limit as to penalty. They deserve no more consideration than a highway robber.

 Are there no laws relating to the cutting of trees by the side of the road which might help in this case?
 While one of the most beautiful sec tions of the drive has been spoiled. there may be still an opportunity to hinder the whole scheme from being carried out if there should be an ear nest protest from the many people who know how beautiful this region is. and appreciate it's value.

sTRAieHr LINES FOR BALL

The dress manufacturing trade has about decided to retain the straight line effect through the fall season. While there was some talk of getting closed to the Paris interpretation of styles and using he boufant effects more freely, there has not been a ten- dency to put words into action. The fact that the suit manufacturers have also adopted the straight line design might have had some influence on the decision of the dress houses, but the counsel of buyers is regarded as the chief factor in setting the matter. The buyers have generally favored the straight line models.

THAT s1oo,o o,ooo. boo FUND.

After the armistice had been signed and just before President Wilson left this country for Paris to attend the peace conference he made request that congress appropriate $100.00o.00o that he could draw upon for the pur- pose of relieving the distress among the destitute people of European coun- tries. The money was voted and the president was allowed to decide where it should be used in accord with his Judgment and the knowledge of the conditions. Tn view of the urgent de- mands 1t is to be supposed that the money has been spent. but as yet it is not known just how or where.
 Inasmuch as congress was willing to trust it's disbursement with the president there is no reason now to suspect that it has been used other wise than in a satisfactory manner. where it would do the most good and that full value has been secured from it.
 Nevertheless, whether a large or small sum, the country is naturally in terested in knowing just what 1t was expended for and what was accom- plished by. the relief fund that was so promptly furnished. Thus there can be no surprise at the resolution that has been introduced in the lower branch of congress by the appropria- tions committee in which the presi- dent is asked to report upon the use that has been made of the money. This is only a matter of sound busl- ness even though there is no reason to think that it has not been properly handled. In fact it is to be presumed that such report would have been forthcoming, or available in time, but inasmuch as it is getting along to- ward a year now since the money was furnished it is only reasonable that something should be known about it even now.

A WORD ABOUT SWEATERS

The sweater is in the height of its career as an article of feminine ap- parel and contrary to expecta Hons the silk sweater has the ~greater vogue. In Paris a silk sweater with skirt of tweed, serge or linen. is an acceptable street mode although New York has not yet admitted such ih- formality of attire. Silk sweaters elaborately embroidered are worn with tailleur on cool days instead of a blouse. The sweater blouse with it's endless variations will delight the feminine heart for months to come.
