Street Work superficial.

To the Editor: This morning while
reading my Sunday paper found a sheet
added to the paper telling of the Won
derful CD results of our present city ad-
ministration, particularly showing re-
suits of our street department which as
is we'll known has been run the poorest
in years. A great deal of the work mas
been superficial and not lasting l have
in mind West Main street from Thames
square going west up the hills. 1t was
poorly laid poorly protected, is again
Just prior to election poorly top coated
and will not prove permanent. 1t is only
| duplicate of other parts of the city
| Look at Washington street on the curve
near the Riley block, so rough that one
driving north instinctively pulls over or
the wrong side of the road. 1t was re-
paired this year 1920-now almost as
bad as it ever was.
| Forest street is in terrible shape ant
a letter calling attention TO conditions
on that street directed to Mr.. Fox, thu
street commissioner, was absolutely ig
nored as was a letter in regard to tn
condition of Maple Grove avenue.
l am sure similar conditions could b.
| cited all over the city.
1 hope the voters will do lot of think
ing before casting their vote tomorrow
and will vote straight republican and Sc
cure a good competent business admin
istration for the good Of the city.
Very truly,
HENRY z. ULMER.

Mr.. Fox sends US a list of the men %
plumbers representing the journeyrnen
who in the name Of their local have
agreed to the restrictions imposed on
them by the tinsmiths. Mr.. Fox, and all
the rest of us, can tell why the plumber
left the city hall roof unfinished and in
an exposed condition. Furthermore, the
demand for compensation from May /,
1902, to May l, 1921 was to be one dol
lar per hour, which is 81 1-2 cents
per hour more than the journeymen
plumbers and filters are getting. This
shows that the tinsmiths think them
selves worth more than. the plumbers,
and hence have right to grant them
| the privileges named in their edict-
among which is to work for one hour on
a job where a tinsnith is not available
If the plumber on the courthouse rool
had been smart, he might have WORKED
an hour at a time. taking rest OF ave
| minutes between, and got the job finish

reported would have to have been refer
red to the joint committee for judgment
now give his article, which Nj. Fo'
| said I omitted-and which shows ina
the matter Of Jurisdiction" is consider
ed and claimed under the head OF Con
| cessions; namely Article 5.
"In any case where dolbt as 70 Jurls

ferred to a joint committee Of each 10
cal'' AS Mr.. Fox is on this committee
we would recommend him to study IN

DRY CLEANING.

Dry cleaning may be done at home with
good results if few suggestions of care
are observed.
1t is preferable to do the cleaning out
doors if possible; if within the house it
should not be done where there is a fire.
A sufficient quantity of the cleaning
fluid should be ready. A pad of clean
cloth underneath the place to be cleaned
will absorb the stain and extra cleaning
fluid.
The sponging may be performed best
with a long, sweeping motion A few
drops of oil of cloves in the last rinsing
water will help to destroy the objec-
tionable odor of the cleaning fluid.
The material should be pressed after
the fluid has been given time to evap-
crate.

SUGGESTIONS FOR
THE HOUSEWIFE

THE HOUSEWIFE
A novel salad is Danish one made
of herring and beets.
Roller shades of printed chintz are
best for the sun parlor.
Never fail to wash poultry before it
is prepared for the table.
Beans will take the place of meat for
two made each week.
For large steamed buildings it is best
to use a tube shaped mold.
Brush bread with cold water instead of
fat while It is rising; this prevents the
formation of crust.
Save oil paper to spread between the
stands on the dolly.
Potatoes and parsnips cooked can be
served together if persons find the flavor
of parsnips alone too strong.
Newspapers sewed together and GOV,
cred with cloth will make good pad tc
use on a dining room table.
For grated cheese sandwiches toast
the bread first, then sprinkle grated
cheese on it and brown in the oven.
Prepared horseradish is not so goot
as that which you crate and prepare Al
home.
Ola fashioned Inolan puoolns 10 gooe

wINDHAM MooNsHINE.

Is Windham countX out to grab the
''moonshine" crown long worn with
unique distinction by Kentucky? Time
has been that Connecticut's chief interest
and information as to 'moonshine" has
been that it furnished subject for stir
ring reels in the movies, but arrests
made last week in this section Of eastern
Connecticut, with the location Of stills
and the seizure Of quantities of the illicit
liquor, bring the subject closer home.
Any inveterate patron Of the motion
picture houses will have no difficulty in
visualzing the stage setting-the wild
ragged, desolate looking countryside, the
tumble down shack where the still was
located, the skulking mountaineer with
his trusty rifle, the wild rides along
mountain and forest paths in the moon
light, and the searching revenue officer
for whom bullet was waiting from al
most any bush or tree along the road
side.
Eastern Connecticut, in either New
London or Windham counties, can quail
fly in any number of it's back-countr!
sections as far as typographical charac
teristics are concerned to make an ad
mirable locus for the "moonshine" indus
try There are wild and abandoned dis
riots, far enough from the lines of reg
ar travel, to satisfy the most exact
evaders of the Volstead law, ant
doubtless there will be no lack of in
/ genuity and enterprise on the part o
those whose respect for law would no
be proof against the incentive of larg
financial profit from the manufacture o
"moonshine"
Is "Windham moonshine" about t
carve a place for itself alongside tn
lightning" that comes from the stat
over which Governor Edwards presides?

in which congress has met national de-
mands and popular expectations. This
probably seems hardly worth mentioning
to an administration that showed such
tender consideration for the Louisiana
sugar planters and <such disregard of
the public welfare by its failure to Sc
cure the Cuban sugar crop; that is re-
sponsible for the Burlesonizing Of the
post office department, and the fantastic
manipulation of the navy by Daniels.
OF course there have been failures to
pass legislation that many members and
their constituents deem important. Some
of these owe their failure to late intro
duction. In the closing hours. for in
stance, it was deemed impossible to give
consideration to an embargo on coal ex-
portations in order to assure New Eng
land a fuel supply.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

If your skin is dry and rough. use
cold cream in preference to soap when
soap is used it should be an oil soap such
as olive oil, CASTLE or palm oil soap, or
should be bran or oatmeal.
If your skin is oily, you can use a great
deal of soap and may even do away
entirely with cold cream. If you are ex-
posed to a great deal of dust and dirt,
the face may be washed twice a day
with soap and hot water, a thing which
would be ruinous to a woman with dry
skin.
Which ever type of complexion you
possess, there is only one rule that APP
plies TO the use of face powder and that
ls-purehase the very best quality you
can afford and pay more attention to its
purity than to its perfume.
If you use rouge or any sort of make
up. use it sparingly. You defeat your
own purpose, which is to make the skin
appear more beautiful, as soon as you
show that you have employed artificial
means. You had better look a little toe
pale than too colorfuL If there is any
error let it be on the side of good taste
Obvious makeup is never in good taste.

CONCERNING WOMEN.

Mrs. Mortimer Hancock of Asheville
N. c., has the honor of being decorated
IA times, most of them for services rem
dered under fire while acting as a Red
Cross nurse.
Irish girls are said to have the most
beautiful hands, while those of the Eng
fish girls are too plump and fleshy. Next
to the Irish girls the daughters of Po-
land deserve the palm so far as the beau
ty of the hand is concerned.
One of the most interesting French wal
heroines is Madame Renon, who in 1914
at the age of II years, Joined the French
army as a nurse. During the Franco
Prussian war she was a canteen keeper

DICTATES OF FASHION

The over the-skirt blouse continues
in favor.
Square neeks and short sleeves put in
an appearance.
The spring breezes will play with top
coats, capes and dolnans.
Transparent hat brins have flowers
laid fiat between the tulle.
Rows of stitching in bright eolors are
chic trimming.
Novelty weaves in trieolette are be-
ing used for spring blouses.
Jersey dresses are still worn and they
have permanently adopted the long
string belt
Satin eharneuse draped with beaded
georgette is conservative, but always
satisfactory
Chestnut brown straw, with pink quilts
is recent Paris idea for a hat.
A dominant note in color schemes and
designs is of oriental inspiration.
Tailored dinlity bleuses and the latest
tailored nets are also favored.
Meecasin brown is a new color among
negligees.

LONGING JACKETS.

Longing jackets or tea coats are in
high favor from a fashion viewpoint, as
well as for the comfort they give.
Deshabile is the name that best de-
scribes some French creations in these
indoor dress novelties that are in shape
nothing more than huge squares with
round, square or v shaped openings in
the center, permitting the square to bt
slipped on over the head
But the charm and beauty of these
simple sacks lies in the materials used
lace and net, georgette and hand EN-
oroldery or fringe, or Of handmade sill
flowers.

MODELLING MATERIAL.

Every child loves to make things, and
with this material they may experiment
in all manner of ways. All kinds of
animals may be formed and all shapes
of beads by running a hatpin through
them to form the hole before they be-
come hard.
Take four tablespoonfuls of cornstarch
eight tablespoonfuls of salt and eight
tablespoonfuls of boiling water. Mix the
dry ingredients in small vessel and
pour on the boiling water, stirring until
the mixture is soft. Put ON the fire and
stir until it forms soft ball. then err
move from the stove and stir for ten
minutes Fer change little color may
be added, and the children will amuse
themselves with this for days. Wrap in
an oiled paper to keep from hardening
when not in use,

CARE oF SHOES.

One little lady seldom biaekens her

stiff brush on the soles and the groove
between sole and shoe, blacks and pol
ishes the heels and the edge of the sole
then treats the rest to a bath with a
sponge ligely moistened in milk. The
boots take dull polish, never crack and
keep their softness TO a good old age.

SHEET LORE.

So many people stick hard and fast
to the old rule of making the beds with
the large hem of the sheets at the head
end This method does not give the linen
equal wear, for the foot end soils much
more than any other part of the sheets,
needs more rubbing in laundering and,
consequently, wears out sooner. Always
reverse the sheets, using the wide mems
at the head one month and the next
month using them at the foot end
