Mir. Editor: For the la st four months l have been 8 daily reader Of The Nor wich Bulletin and especially enjoy reading Women in Life and in the Kitchen" Some of the suggestions are good and well worth reading. The one which I have noticed several times is headed "Cheery Nitcnen.'' Now who doesn't like a Cheery kitchen? But the writer of the article seems only to have her own self in mind, or those who are unfortunately without a maid, very thought which breathes selfish ness in the first degree.
 If housewives who have maids would take a few minutes and survey their kitchen and then ask themselves How would I like to work in this kitchen all day, how would I like to sit here when I have an hour of leisure in the afternoon. or, if had to live in it, how would I like to entertain my friends there in the evening""

PROPER PROTECTION FOR PUB
 'IIC

Not much surprise will be manifest ed at the fact that the proprietor Of d store in Maryland has been arrested on the charge of violating the revenue law. when it is claimed in connection herewith that he has been increasing the price of his goods under the plea that the raise was due to the tax that has been imposed by the govern ment And it will not be unexpected if d good many more dealers through out the country are brought before United States commissioners for the very same reason for it is to be re- membered that there is 3 penalty for ascribing part of price to a tax when it is known that such statement is false, or that the tax is not so great as the portion of such price ascribed to such tax"
 The government agents are appar- ontly giving attention to an abuse which is frequently indulged in. It is an easy thing to say that the price of certain article jumps five cents, ten cents or whatever 1t may be because of a tax or jump in the wholesale cost, when as matter of fact the ad- ditional cost or the tax may be only d small part of that increase.
 The injustice of such misrepresen tation and such profiteering can be fully appreciated, and it is certainly time that the government got busy in giving the public the protection that it deserves.

RAILROAD MONEY.

-. Director General Hines of the rail- road administration has called upon congress for an appropriation of s1.- e0o,oo0,OoO 10 meet the needs of the railroads which means s1.7Oo.o GOO asked since the government took hold Of the lines year ago last January. Of this amount it is claimed by Di- 2 rector Hines thero should eventually be returned to the government Si.214.- o0o.000 or a triflc more than is being Asked at tho present time. but the p billion and d fifth is expected to car ry tho administra ton through the year.
 q According 10 the statement of the director there has been sustained by the government in the handling of the railroad systems a total loss thus far Of s4s5.000,ooO. which is over and above anything which can be expected efh return from the roads. This is made up Of S236,000.00O sustained dur ing the year 1918 because of the un- prccedented difficulties presented by the winter Of that year together with Inc fact that the increased cost of Transportation covered the whole year while the passenger rate increase was for only six months, and s25o,o 900 which has been lost in the four months of this year due "in part to cumulative high levels of cost brought about by the war. for labor and ma tcrisis, and in part to the sudden and abnormal falling off in business"
 Apparently no estimate of what loss sssn be expected during the remaining eight months of this year has been made. but when the director declares that the deficits should be treated as psses, which doubtless means that they must be assumed by the govern . ment, 1t must regarded as the only just thing to do.

withdrew. It was understood preyi- ously that it would be necessary fer all to sign in order to avoid a separate peace, but this provision means that it will go into operation when three of the principal allied nations have af- fixed their signatures.
 There has been some concern lest this might operate against the in.er- ests of the United States since the other countries would be getting the benefit of an earlier resumption of trade with Germany in case the other leading powers signed without this country, and it became necessary for the United States to arrange a sepa- rate understanding.
 Such, however. seems to be a bit overdrawn when it is realized that this country is already extensively en- gagged in forwarding goods -o Ger many. that it is depended upon to provide many of the supplies that are required there and that we are fur nishing it more than any other cour- try. And yet why should we bp wor- rying about other countries beating us out in the resumption of trade with Germany when we have been saying consistently that we want nothing more to do with made in Germany stuff?

Protest Was Against Maseacres o

MT. Editor: Permit ne. please, to correct an error, due probably to misunderstanding, in your report on the 26th inst. Of the Jewish protest meeting held Sunday night at the Breed theater.
 This report as printed was to the ef-
 feet that the meeting protested against bolsheyisrn we are one with Jews, but as one of the speakers at the

 horrible massacres of Jews by Poles in Poland.

Tn this stand against Belshevism we are one with the rest of the civilized world. But while the entire world justly de- nounces bolsheyik terrorism, actUated by alleged ideals. we hold that the civilized world should even more strongly denounce aud condemn the Polish terrorism against the Jews that has not for itself even the excuse l of any apology for an ideal, that is so |! savage in it's selhshness, and has not even the smallest fig-leaf of idealism l to cover it's naked cruelty.

The young man with the nervous ex- pression surged into into tie library of the solid business man and tried to make it casual with poor success.
 ''Oh!" said the solid business man. looking up from his desk in some sur prise, having thought his visitor was safely checked after dinner with his pretty daughter as entertainer. 'Er- come in.''
 "Er-thanks,'' said the young man, who was already in and had nothing further to do. He looked around the
 room with fervent interest. T just

 His host abandoned the papers. Not al all," he assured him, getting

THE FIRST TO CROSS.

By the arrival of the American sea- plane NC-4 at Lisbon, Portugal, the Atlantic ocean has been crossed in the air and though the projected trip Of the American fiers will not end until they arrive in England, it has been clearly shown what strides have been made in aviation in the last few years. The honors thus of bringing forth the heavier than air machine that would fly and the making of the first trans atlantic crossing go to Americans, and certainly the country has reason to be proud of the accomplishments.
 It is of course true that a non stop flight has not as yet been made but what has been done simply demon- strates that the time is coming when it will be possible to make the flight from shore to shore without haltins at the Azores. With the American sea plane of the NC type it is apparently only a question of being able to caiTy a sufficient supply of gasoline and be- ing able to meet weather conditiors.
 That Americans should succeed where the others who have tried the flight have failed must to certain  degree be attributed to the provisions that were made in behalf of safety. It is not to be supposed that great risk was not involved even then but the wisdom of the precautions rather than trusting to luck in encountering a life saving ship on the way is perfectly apparent.
 What progress is being made i1 the navigation of the air could have no better demonstrati ton. A few years ago such was nothing more than a vague dream and yet today no one dsres to forecast what the limits ol aviation will be and in connection with it all too great credit cannot be given to those who have risked ane are willing to risk their lives + frin eine. ahout the deVeloprueutS.
