LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

5. Trying to Stir Up Race Prejudice
 MT. Editor: It is to me source or deep amazement that paper of the standing of The Bulletin should see lit to dignify by publication on June 18th, the anonymous attack on the Jews signed Polish Falcons. Prob ably your editorial staff is unaware of the fact that this attack IS not the expression of a local writer, but IS an identical letter that is being offered for publication to newspapers national propa ganda. Most recently it appeared in the Holyoke (Mass) Transcript.
 To any fair- minded reader, the inco- herent charges made in this letter de- feat their own purpose because of the
 ibellous mode of expression. Were 1t
 not that silence might be construed as a tacit admission of the truth of some, or even one of these statements, no
 answer woud be deemed necessary,
 and especially SO at this time, when
 the findings of the official commission
 lnvesti2a tingg the outraSes in Poland
 have not yet been submitted, and
 pending which judgment must be withheld. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied as to the occurrence of these IldSSdCfeS, that where there IS Slllohe there must be fire.
 It is unnecessary to take these charges up seriatim; suffice it to say l that they fall by the weight of their own self evident falsity. But I can not refrain from pointing out that the wild ascription of blame to the Jewish people because, forsooth, Trotsky was
 once a Jew. would be on par with blaming the entire Polish race be- cause Czolgozs the assassin of Pres- ident Mckinley, happened to be 6 Pole. Moreover, not even the mos rabid anti Semitic can erase the 'envi- able war-record of the Jews in every | line of patriotic endeavor.
 | The attack can only be regarded as an open attempt calculated to stir ur
 race prejudice in a community where i happily, it does not exist but no sucl attempt will ever succeed among fair. minded, intelligent Americans. JOSEPH L. SCHWARTZ June Ii, 1919

OTHER VIEW POINTS

For many years the board of di- rectors of the Connecticut prison has recommended to the general assembly through the governor, the enactment of a law which would make the parole law apply to life prisoners who have passed 25 years within prison walls. There is nothing sobstuffy about the philosophy which lies back of this recommenda tion. It is based upon a prolonged study of the criminal class, and the results of prison management. IL would not mean that all life pri- soners would obtain their liberty aft CT 9 years of incarceration. It would mean the release of those under con tinued control who had earned the confidence of the prison officials. There are always considerations fav- bring a prisoner after years of pri- son serving which cannot be taken into account at his trial-New Haven Journal Courier.
 The farmers complain about having to get out before the dew is off the grass, they complain about the cows not coming home for milking an hour earlier and they make all sorts of other complaints. It would be an easy matter for the farmers to change their hours, so that the men would go out tt could get the milk trains put back to the old schedule and they could adapt themselves to the conditions and think of the value of the change to others. They could do these things, but they ! will not because they are selfish.- Meriden Journal.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Use a soapstone as fatiron stand on ironing day. The irons retain their heat loH@~,
 Clear Lack coffee diluted with water and containing a little ammonia may be used for cleaning black cloth gar ments.
 To keep starch from sticking to irons rub them over with piece of wax; then put little salt on paper and rub them over and they will shine like new.
 One hears so much about using wax and salt for flat irons when rough or clothes stick. Try placing a slice of white soap and a teaspoonful of salt in the starch. A beautiful gloss is the result.
 A grape basket for the clothespins with wire hook fastened to the han de will save much time when hanging out clothes, as it may be pushed along the line and is always handy.

WHAT IS NEW IN SWEATERS.

Sweaters, too, lean toward the sweetly feminine rather than the boy ishly masculine. If one desires a real ly swagger. sporty looking mannish coat, one selects one of those English
 topcoat affairs of tweed in soft gray green or some other mixture. This
 coat will answer for cool days at the
 shore, for motoring and for travelling.
 Ordinarily, with the dainty sport cos
 tune worn at summer hotel or eoun
 try-house colony. one wears a dainty
 sort of sweater or sport coat. Filet
 crochet sweaters are the ultra thing
 irl wool garments of this type; but one
 does not see so many of these flet
 sweaters now as there will certainly
 be later in the summer, when all the
 girls have learned to wield crochet hooks. Jade green is the favored col or for a filet crochet sliDon. Dainty indeed are new knitted silk slipons which are soft and crimpy as silk chemises and can be rolled up and tucked in the pocket of any ordinary knitted silk. slipon style, with long sleeves. A band of purling at the waistline in front shapes the sweater to the figure at the back; the line is straight to the hin. where there is a i deep knitted bGrdep in colors, forming a gay plaid. As to the wool sport coats. they are of flannel, of wool ier sey, of silk poplin, and some new and very stunning belted models are of i heavy linen with sport skirts to
 match. Most of these sport jackets are belted loosely and have pockets al 1 the hip. Some models have Norfoll, | pleats, others have shawl collars that
 turn back to make long revers under the belt. Kelly green is popular shade; so is Pekin blue. Black sport coats worn with black sailor hats anC white. linen skirts are immensely 1 smart

Hemmed sashes of the material matching the frock are smart. When you buy voile. ginghams or dimity for midsummer frock get yard or two extra to make the sash.

Division No. I,
hennepin County

Through the efforts of a spirited
committee, recently appointed, Division
No. z, Hennepin County, A. o. H., is
planning series of entertainments
for the season, and will start off with
a stag party on the evening of Feb
ruary 5. The party will no doubt
be the means of reviving the member
ship towards doing things in the old
spirit the next year. Col. w. H. Dona.
hue will be present and give a talk
on the fight "over there" and this
alone should draw big crowd, for the
Colonel is an able and interesting
talker, and gives many sidelights on
the qualities of our American boys
when in action. Besides his intelli-
gent explanation of modern warfare is
a revelation to those who have not
been able to follow the advancement
of our army.
At the last meeting Lieut.. James
Cogwin gave very interesting and
instructive talk on "Our Army" which
was enjoyed and appreciated by ev-
eryone present. Good smokes are al
ways provided for the members dur.

MINNEAPOLIS SHOULD
Be MORE CAREFUL

Minneapolis should not be too pulled
up over the recent discovery that she
has the second lowest death-rate Of
all cities in the country. The small
number of deaths, averaging IA per
1000, is largely due to the favorable
geographical location of the city, and
the fact that it is newly developed
and settled by young generation. As
Assistant Surgeon-general Young re
marked three years ago, we have here
a larger proportion of young people
between 20 and 40 than any other city
in the country but one, the exception
being. Portland, Ore. This is what
Krank j. Bruno, general secretary of
the Associated Charities, told the wo
mans auxiliary, Hennepin County
Medical Society, last week. Mr..
Bruno was explaining the provisions
of the new bill which proposes to
create a board of public welfare to
have supervision of all health, cor
regional, and charitable work. He
declared that our present health or
ganization was far from ideal, as the
observation-disclosures death-rate showed
and that to demonstrate the urgent
need for more adequate welfare facili
ties, it should only be necessary to
mention the fact that there is in this
city no institution in which an aged
and proverty- husband and
wife may spend the remainder of their
days together.
The new bill is an attempt to put
our civic house in order, he said. It
would consist of two ex-oficio mem
bers. the mayor and the president of
the city council, and five other mem
bers to be appointed by the mayor
with the approval of the council. 1t
is felt that the centering of all respon-
sibility in this small group would make
for more efficient administration. The
work of the board would be divided
into four departments, health, hospi-
tails, charities, and corrections. All
members of the board would serve
without pay.
