SOME DIFFICULTIES OF
THE BACHELOR MAID.

The more you think of it, the more
you will realize how impossible it
is for the masculine sex to under
stand the problems which come into
the life of the bachelor maid in any
large city.
in the bachelors life, unless they are
of his own making. While on the
other hand, in an unmarried girls life
there are difficulties not of her own
making So don't be 50 prone to &C
cuse her OF "hbbing' and insincerity.
1t is not girls fault if she is born
pretty, and therefore attracts mascu-
line attention, some of it undesira BILE
and persistent. If she encourages the
wrong sort of a. man and finds it hard
to get rid of him, that was an avoid
able difficulty. But being pretty, with
the penalty of persecution which
sometimes follows, is unavoidable.
That is one of her problems no mere
man can ever truly appreciate. Us
ually he feels that to have admiring
glances cast in your direction by the
opposite sex must be rather nice.
Despite the fact of the extraordin-
airy increase in freedom and com
nonsense, the pretty bachelor girl has
to tackle problems of conduct almost
every day which the bachelor man
can never fathom. Such simple things
as being spoken to-" doesn't bother
her, she can promptly dismiss him.
But suppose she is made happy by an
invitation to a dance given at the
home of a friend, and the hostess in
PRODUCES IAN old friend of the
family" and he proves to be a perfect
cad, and later the hostess asks if he
isn't Charming" and hopes he will
take her to the theatre, can she tell
her bluntly that he is undesirable?
These things simply cannot be ex-
planned, they can't be put into words
Girls are forced-more or less
into being not quite honest with men,
If a man doesn't want to dance with
girl, he simply doesn't ask her-but
the girl must refuse outright, and
thereby incur the displeasure OF the
hostess, in all probability, or else
'fb' out of it some way.
So many men seem to expect a
harmless filtration, as a kind of pay
ment for their good times, and look
real cheated if they don't get it But
they look equally cheated when the
girl flirts, and they find out it is
only a filtration.
Don't forget the fact that the girl
who comes in contact with men
good deal has to make up her mind
often on the spur Of the moment. and
just guess the best line to take How
ever shrewd she may be in her intui-
lions, she may metimes guess
wrong. So don't be always trying to
trip her into "fibs."

yards which had a building capacity
Of 750, 900 tons. In the following
year, ending June 80, 1916, American
production of steamships had increas-
ed to only 232.354 tons.
Even when the United States en-
tered the war in 1917 the building
capacity Of the American yards was
still far below the output required
There were a t that time only 81
American shipyards which could
build seaGoing ships. OF this slunn-
Der 81, or little more than half, were
equipped for steel shipbuilding. These
yards had a total of 1872 ways, while
"a wood shipyards comprised 10
ways.
Americas great effort in ship
building, came after 1917. So
rapidly were yards created, when the
nation set out in earnest to meet the
worlds call for ships, that before
hostilities ended the United States
possessed s41 ship plants for seagoing
ship construction with a total of 1884
ways. This was more than double
the number of shipways in the yards
Of all other nations combined.
In 1917 there were only $4,000
men employed in the American ship
building industry. BY September
1918, says the Bankers Trust Com

Hail Storm Cuts
Tobacco To Pieces

Hartford, Sept. born somewhere
In the Ldtchfeld hills. hail and wind
storm swept across Hartford county
yesterday afternoon causing damage
. to tobacco crops to the extent of
more than S1.5o0,000, according to
tobacco growers. Having torn a path
of destruction In the tobacco belt over
the river lowlands and the rising
ground to the east the elements dis
persed In the forest uplands of Toll
land county.
With more than half of the tobacco
crop still standing and ready for har-
vest, the destructive elements caused
more havoc than at any time in the
history of the Connecticut tobacco
industry with the possible exception
of the memorable storm of 1915. Re-
ports from tobacco growers all
through the Connecticut belt last
night indicated that the damage
would be much heavier than the
100000 mark.
The northern tier of tobacco towns
will find space aplenty in the bents
of the curing barns, which week or
a fortnight later would have been
damned with the product smitten yes
terday by the tempest of hail and
wind. Tobacco harvested. whether
lathed or strung, is practically unin-
5ured. although some barns are re-
ported to have been weakened by the
gale and in some others leaves were

Once over in Holland county, in

area, the storm ragged with but little
real damage. as crops in that pastoral
district are mainly fruits and the
grass IN meadows and pastures, ex-
cept in parts of Somers and Vernon,

GREAT INCREASE
IN SHIPPING OF
UNITED STATES

The story of Americas supreme
effort in shipbuilding stands out in
statistics which have just been issued
by Lloyd's Register of Shipping.
These figures show that the sea-
going tonnage of American ships has
increased nearly 100000 tons or
almost 500 per cent since 1914.
While the period involved is six
years, the great squirt in American
ship construction covered only half
that period When the world war
started, shipbuilding in the United
States, according to study of
Americas Merchant Marine by
the Bankers Trust company, of New
York, was at it's lowest rate of pro-
duction in IT years.
For year from, the outbreak of
war the American output was only
225,122 tons of all classes of ships in

PARTY LEADERS
START SESSIONS

Chicago. Sept The Republican
midwestern conference of party lead
ers began it's two day session today
with National Chairman Will H.
Hays presiding. The progress of the
Republican presidential campaign
was discussed.
A separate meeting was held in the
afternoon by the women in attend
anee at the conference to take up the
plan of campaign based upon parti-
cipatien of women in the elecr,on
It was pointed out that the Con-
necttcut legislature will meet in spe-
cial session September Ia and is
counted upon to furnish a ratifying
vote, even should there be any doubt
about the issue.
Some of the prominent Republican
women here were Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up

NEW ARMY FOR

Warsaw, Aug. s1.-A new Russian
volunteer army which already is as
sunaing respeotI,faIe proportions is be-
ing formed by the Russian national
committee, founded in this city during
the Kerensky regime. NJ. Savinkoff,

against the Bolshe&-k forces which at
tempted to take Warsaw.

tobacco lay, possibly a few hundred
acres more. Probably two-thirds of
the crop in that tier was badly injur-
ed, perhaps a large fraction of the
two-thirds nearly irretriveably. As
the best of the tobacco may have had
a potential value at this time of the
summer of somewhere about $500 or
$3.50 an acre the damage would seem
to be well over $1.500.000.
The tobacco districts of the Con-
necticut river valley were hard hit.
The crops in most cases were 5 per
cent. harvested and the standing to-
bacco was reported as a total loss on
many of the plantations. In East
Windsor the loss was reported as very
heavy. Estimates of damage to to-
bacco in several towns were: East
Windsor, 100000; Sufield, $500, 900;
Windsor Locks, 100000; CRANKY,
100000; Ellington and Vernon, $780,
600; Windsor. $4,000.
Hail stones larger than walnuts
were found in the tobacco fields after
the storm passed. It was said very
little insurance was carried on the to-
bacco. The wind also did heavy dam
age to fruit trees and to corn. Tele-
phone service was impaired in several
sections of the state.
NORTH HAVEN HARD HIT.
North Haven, Sept. This town
was swept by a whirlwind yesterday
afternoon, the Storm demolishing a
large boarding house of brick con-
struction just south of the railroad
station, piMng up a wooden building
used for fireworks making, tearing
the roofs from four of the largest
of the Stiles Brick company's storage
sheds, uprooting at least a hundred
large trees and score of telegraph
poles along the railroad line, killing
a boy seriously, injuring eight wom-
en- and slightly injuring twenty-five
other persons. The center of de-
structfon was in the area between
the North Haven and the Quinnipiac
railroad stations. Just south of the
North Haven station stood the board
ing house for workers in the brick
yards and on the railroad. This
came tumbling down and crashed
across the tracks of the steam road,
blocking all traffic for two hours and
delaying trains for several more. Pass
engers on the delayed trains helped
the railroad remove bricks, timber
and furniture from he right of
way.
Rafaele Schalon, a Spanish boy of
Is years and the son of a brick yard
laborer, who lived in the boarding
house, was instantly killed. He
was hit by falling timbers or a tele-
