 The Bristol police department is do- ing fine work in wedding out the .'reds' Those fellows are here to foment and plan trouble. and they are doing their best to blaze the way for it. As might be expected practically all of these en- gagged in anarchistic propaganda arc Russians. They get and follow orders from Petfograd, to which place they should be speedily returned. The fact that the government is so slow in 1aak- ing deportations gives rise to deep dis satisfaction and eaHstic criticism. It is a scandal. The Congressional in- vestigating committee has found at least one reason for it-an immigra ton official who is in sympathy with the -reds.'' Howe himself appears to be good deal of rather illuminating explanation, but that does not explain why he is permitted to do as he pleases. Meanwhile the country and the administration suffer.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT. Editor: would like to bring before your attention and the atten- ticn of the readers of The Bulletin, a question which in the writer's opinion will interest a good manS of the bus mess men of this community.
 A few days ago, a question arose between a business friend and myself, over the proper method of computing the profit on an artciie. and thereby determining the selling price, that costs Sl.50 when the seller requires l5 per cent. for overhead and must make a profit of l5 Der cent, thus doing business on a 3u per cent. basis
 Assuming that my friend figures that the $l.50 cost, or 100. per cent. and the 50 per centh for overhead and profit equals 13o per cent. of the sell ing price, he gets 13o per cent. of $1.5O which is Si.95 and considers that the selling price with 45 cents gross profit.
 This is the proper selling price on this article that has been affirmed by the editor of another local paper, doubtless assuming that the profit is determined on the cost, not on the selling price. l will now attempt 10 prove that these people are not hgur- ing their profits correctly.
 
 45 cent gross profit there would be 22 l-2 cents for overhead and 22 1-2 cents for profit. If $1.95 is his selling price and it cost him l5 per cent. of his selling price to run his business it goes to show that 15 per cent. of the selling price is s.2995 instead of g 1-2 cents and his actual profit only 15 cents instead or 22 1-2 cents. AS matter of fact the cost price IS not a thing to be added 10 but is D percenta ge of the selling price. On the S1.50 article let the selling price ] be 100 per cent, deduct the overhead and profits of 30 per cent. which l leaves the cost TO per cent. of the selling price. Divide S1.50 by TO and the selling price of $2.15 is obtained with a gross profit of 65 cents. With such a selling price and gross profit 15 per cent. of the selling price Or about B cents shows both the nc; l profit and the overhead, which to- 1 sether are 65 cents.
 ! This is not the only way of figuring 1 profits, but it is certainly more satis- l factory for man to mark his goods so that he will know how much o1 I each dollar taken over the counter be- longs to him, and how much must be set aside to cover expenses.
 By hgurlng thlS way ne IS enabled at any time to determine by a re- l equalization of his sales just what hi. profits to date must be.
 1 There are a number Of advantage. 1 from figuring on the selling price in stead of on the cost, namely that thi
 seller nearly always has his sellin;
 price before him, and very seldon
 has his cost.
 This method is merely reversing tn
 percentage, so as to enable the mer
 chant to know from day to da l whether his business is going as h
 expects it should. I have presente this same problem to the editor C
 System, the magazine of business. E. c. Norwich, Nov. 2S, 1919.

TO SAVE TIME.

In order to keep the children's stock ings mated when sending the clothes to be washed sew snappers on the outside tops of the stockings. They are snap ped together when put in the clothes hamper and can be washed and hung over the line in that manner. The well will hold for a long time. The washerwonaan finds this a great help to her Stockings are so easily mixed or lost5 and it. saves a Preat deal of time in sorting and putting away the chiIdren's clothes.
 Small pieces of tape sewet to each stocking and then tied together during their visit to the washtub is satis- factory to the grown ups" but the tapes viii usually hang below the dresses or suits of the "wee tots" so you will find snappers best for their use.

 One of the incidents connected with the signing of the Bulgarian treaty which was carried out without pomp and unusual alacrity was the signing of the document by American dele- gates. Such action caused not a little comment among those in attendance because as is known this coutry has never been at war with Bulgaria. Re- peated efforts were made to have this country declare war against both Bulgaria and Turkey but it refrained.
 That this country was among the signatures is because the league of nations covenant is included in the document all of which will have to be gone over when the treaty is submitted to the senate. it being presumed that in as much as our delegates signed it ratification will be necessary.

 Printed satins are conspicuous for their width and are much used for wrap Innings.
 capes and coats are so similar in line that one cannot distinguish one from the other.
 Guimpes of white organdie are a dainty accessory to the wee girls achool dress of wool. Tuiie tunics on some of the new black frocks are embroidered with silk floss.

When shoes began to climb. both pa- triotism and pocketbook demanded that steps be taken to outwit them in their dizzy ascent.
 In the fall, when pumps and low shoes were being closed out, the family was outfitted at half price The 1na- terial for a pair of spats costs very lit- tie, and with one ready made pair for a model, it was not difficult to spat the family and the high cost of leather at the same time.
 Scraps of the heavy cloths used for mems clothing can sometimes be se- cured from the tailors, and they make excellent gaiters. Or the broadeloth from a worn suit or coat will answer the purpose just as well and even more economically.
 This is an "ever the top" scheme that any patriotic housewife will do well to consider carefully.

If 1t is inconvenient to heat water for washing up purposes, put a couple of handfuls of ordinary crystal soda into cold water, before starting q meal By the time you are ready to "do" the dishes tle soda will all have dis solved. and you can wash off grease or anything else. This is particularly useful on camping trips and picnics when hot water is scarce,

TINY TUcKs EVERYWHERE,

There is perfect frenzy for tucks this year in lingerie. and they are the tiniest tucks imagina ble and all set in by hand. Just such tucks as are set in the lovely little frocks in baby's lay cite tucks that are hard on the eyes to make-but so dainty when finished that they are trimming ali in them selves,
 To make such tucks in linen gar ments you first pull threads at equal distances apart and then crease the material along the lines Then with a very fine needle and No. 15o cotton thread you run your tuck not more than a sixteenth of an inch from the edge of the fold. An expert needle
 woman runs a tuck with rapid, rip- bling motion of the wrist, setting ten or a dozen tiny stitches at a time. and
 the slight ripple of material in the finished tuck is as much a mark of distinction as the blue marks under hand embroidery = the incontestibie proof that the work has been done by hand and not by machine.
 Many Of the linen nigitgowns and chemises are trimmed oniv with these dainty hand tueiSs and with an edge very narfow-of real filet lace Other garments are lavishly ornaa1ented with lace insertions and nedallions. Ii al depends on which you fancy most. dis tinctive simplicity or lacy loyeiiness ir l lingerie.

We are told that the peace flag
to be displayed when 'the peace
terms are signed is to put a white
border around an American flag.
We don't know who is the origi-
nator of the fool idea, neither do
we care, but the American flag
without the dissertations will be
good enough for all red-blooded
Americans. If the white border
added to the flag when peace is
signed is to symbolic that we
had to surrender some of our
American rights and liberties in
order to make a League of Ma
tions possible, perhaps the idea
is not so bad after all. But true
American citizens will not be
over enthusiastic when that kind
of a flag is unfurled, and many
will hang their heads in shame.

The latest move in the row at
the capital over the office of ad-
jutant general is the appoint
ment of Capt. Arthur Taylor, of
the 158th Infantry, to the posi-
ton. Capt. Taylor has just re-
turned from service in France,
and has all the military require
ments provided in the bill drawn
by Harris to perpetuate himself
in office. Harris will probably
still refuse to surrender the Of
flee and separate himself from
the salary until the court throws
him out. He is one of the class
of patriots who likes the swivel
chair job with it's accompany
ing emoluments. Our boys who
have been fighting in France for

get out of the army and back in

been handed the peace terms for
consideration and their sigma
lures, which has brought out the
same old Hun spirit of bluff and
threats. For once the Huns will
have met up with a nation that
cannot be intimidated or fright
ened. President Wilson, repre-
senting the United States, has
affixed his signature to the terms
and all that is left for the Huns
is to '.'sign here. ? Their threats
will not disturb, and the absence
of buster on the part of this ma

Under the terms of the alleged
League of Nations the United
States as a signatory obligates
itself to maintain the integrity of
all other countries as established
by the peace commission. At
some future date if Ireland tries
to escape the yoke of England,
this country must send it's army
to aid in subjugating them. The
editor comes from Irish stock on
one side of the family, and he is
not favoring any scheme that
makes this country a party to
prevent the freedom of Ireland.

The fundamental reason that
government ownership of public
utilities can never be as efficient
as private ownership lies in the
partisan politics that would en-
ter into it. If the republicans
were in power every senator and
congressman would insist that
some relative or influential poll
tician be made a general mana.
ger, superintendent or assistant,
without regard to his fitness, and
there would be no way to pry
them loose, and the same would
be true when democrats are
in power. Under private own
ership the question of a mans
politics is never considered when
these responsible positions are
being filled; and when a man is
given place his tenure of office
depends solely on his ability, and
even his ability must be of super
ior order to keep from being dis
placed by another. The private
employers want "isers, instead
of "wasers;;" and government
control means making the rail-
roads an asylum for broken down
political hacks and relatives, with
no thought of their ability or fit
ness to serve.

Two superior judges in this
state-one at Tucson and one at
Phoenix have upheld the curb
stone opinion of the Winslow
Mail editor that the failure of
the governor to sign the bill carry
ing the emergency clause, only
defeats the emergency clause and
the bills become law in ninety
days unless referendum petitions
are filed against them; and CO.
incidentally have reversed the
distinguished attorney general,
"Wily" Jones, who handed out
lengthy opinion from his office
that the failure of the governor
to act kills the bills. And Mr..
Jones draws a salary of $4500
for handing out alleged legal
opinions to the taxpayers, while
the editor offers them gratui-
tously. We will always be glad
to advise with the attorney gen.
eral as to the law on all ques-
that arise, if he requests it, and
give his office some standing as

The effort is being made to
force the hand of republican u.
S. senators to make them vote
to approve the peace treaty and
the League.of Nations scheme that
has been so skillfully interviewer
by the peace commission. Let us
hope republican senators have
backbone enough not to be STAN
peded by an army of pacifsts and
democratic politicians beating the
brush. but will come out strong
for separating the peace terms
from the League nonsense. Mr..
Wilson and his commissioners
were called to France to dictate
peace terms to Germany, placing
such restrictions on that country
that would forever preclude her
from again being a menace to
civilization, and to levy an in
demnity to cover the ravages in
flicted on Belgium and France.
Mr.. President was not empower
ed to trade off the birthrights
and liberties of American. citi-
zens in order to make the treaty
effective. The reason given for
the United States entering the
war was to make the world safe
for democracy, and to this end
we gave our boys, our money,
and our food, but now with the
drafting of the peace terms the
worlds greatest democracy that
so unselfshly gave, is to be Pc
nalized by being compelled to
surrender some of it's constitu-
tional rights, and our Declara-
ton of independence falls into
disrepute for an English joke.
No other nations are asked to
abrogate any portion of their
constitutional government. but
to make us fit into the rule of
monarchies our plan of govern
ment must suffer. If the League
of Nations is approved by the
Senate it gives the lie to the a.
legged reason for entering the
war. 1t was not to make the
world safe for democracy, but to
make it safe and perpetual for
monarchies.
