witnesses to the accident, but it is
evident that Mr.. Love did not see
the approaching engine. The Office

prevented him from doing so and
as the crossing man had left his
duties there was no one to warn
him of impending danger,

THE MARK TWAIN HOUSE

What everyone will be inclined to re-

been rendered by AtterneI General HeaIy
to the effect that the state park COM
mission can take by right of eminent
domain the Hartford home of Mark
Twain, the residence on Pennington ave-
nue. that is attractive because of its odd
ness and where the celebrated "Huckle-
berry Finn" was conceived and written.
Untortu was it in the beginning that
anyone with so little regard for this
literary shrine as to be willing to cut it
up for building lots should have gotten a
chance to get possession of it but much
communication is due to the efforts of
those who have since that time been
areusing interest in the perpetuatien of
the property. Just how much of a. gold
mine they realized they had acquired is
shown by the fact that the purchasers OF
the property wanted 100000 for what
it is claimed they paid but $4,000. Such
price was out of the question despite
the rapid rise in Hartford real estate
and the lack of housing accemnoda.

Some bluings contain compound of
iron which will cause rust spots If it
comes in contact with soap. Therefore
it is necessary to rince out all soap be-
fore bluing.
If clothes are dried in open air and
sunshine, biuing should not usually be
necessary; but if white clothes have be-
come very yellow or if they must be
dried indoors, bluing may be used in
the final water.

more evenly, with less wear to the ma

SALAD COMBINATIONS.

If mayonnaise is to be used with fruit
salad omit the mustard, use lemon juice
rather than vinegar and when the oil is
thoroughly incorporated with the egg add
two tablespoonfuls of pineapple juice and
the stiffy beaten white of one egg. This
will make a lighter and more suitable
dressing for such a salad.
A tartar dressing is especially adapted
for use with crab, lobster or salmon sal
ad. 1t requires the yolk of one egg

two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, salt
paprika and tablespoonful each OF
chopped gherkins and capers of a cup
full of diced cucumbers may be used in
stead of the eapers and gherkins to give
variety.
Finely chopped pimento or green pep.
pier may be combined with mayonnaise
for the sake of decorative effect as well
as favor. Onion or garlic extract is ar
improvement to every kind of salad
dressing, but it should be so skillfully
used that it would be impossible to de.
tect the taste.

WILL THE WASTE CONTINUED

The government has taken leading
position in calling for the elimination Of
waste of all kinds of materials. It was
begun during the early days OF the war
and it has been maintained since. The
Importance of the suggestion was readily
recognized and there have been many
who have given greater thought to the
matter than was ever done before.
Among those concerned in the extern
sive use of material of various kinds is
the government itself. During the war it
considered it advisable to put out much
printed matter in addition to the usual
grist. Some of it was worth while but
about some of it less could be said
Along with the paper shortage there was
considered that the government could
without any harm whatever get along
with the use Of much less paper. A
committee was named to investigate the
situation and it found that there ought
to be a large reduction, that many pub
locations ought to be cut off entirely
and others greatly curtailed and in view
of the way in which expenditures haG
been going on in this direction the ad
visibility Of placing the matter of pub
fishing periodicals, journals and maya
zines under the direction of a specia
committee was seen.
Congress by the rider method attach
ed such requirement to the Legislative
appropriation bill and placed such au
thority with the joint committee OF
printing with a. view to continuing tn,
more than a million dollar saving it EFF
fected by reducing the publications
When submitted to the president he We
toed the idea, declaring 1t to be a plaI
to prespass on the rights of the execu
tive. The sustaining of the veto in tn
house ends the rider but if the presi
dent thinks mis- rights were to b.
usurped and recognizes the need of saw
ing wherever possible, the country vii
follow with interest such steps as h
may take in keeping with the purpose o
the rider to see that the waste is elini
mated even though the task is not con
ferreds upon the congressional commit
tee
