Briand Getting
 Ready To Leave

Paris, Oct. 27-Prenlier Briand was today making final preparations to leave on Saturday for America, where he will attend the conference on limitation Of armaments and Far Eastern questions He will appear in Washington as the spokesman of the French people and parliament, armed by a mandate given him in the Chamber of Deputies last night. The vote of confidence accorded the Pre- mier was considered a great political victory, the final ballot cast in the House being 3S1 to 1S6.
 After days of debate which often was most bitter in character M. Briand took the floor late yesterday afternoon to answer his critics aud demand that his policies be vindicat- ed; his answer to Andre Tardieu, and M. Herriot, radical leader. was con ciliatory in tone, but was firm in the defense of the policies followed by France in the past and proposed by the present ministry for the future. Before the PremieI's onslaught. the opposition lost ground rapidly and what seemed to be potential defeat yesterday morning was changed to a triumph.

Efficient Housekeeping
FOR CROCHET1NG :
 TWINE SHOPPING BAG.
By LAURA A. HERMAN.

Please print directions for cro- ch cting one of the new, round >twine bags that everybody seems to be car rying nowadays when shopping or marketing" writes a reader of this column.
 While I cannot always comply with requests to publish crocheting or knitting directions because of space restrictions = and also because this column is primarily devoted to house. keeping science-I am glad to ac- mmodate a reader occasionally in this way.

Continue un- til you have the desired size. This bag measures 2 inches across. Make another circular piece the same size and join the two with @ straight side piece which is inches or more in width and made iii doubles; leave an ample opening at the top (this is done by having the straight side piece go only two-thirds around the circu- lar discs.) A handle of plain crochet is now made (this should be one l inch in wfdth) and attached to the | top. The bag is now ready to be decorated by two small worsted roses | made by the directions given below. | A pale pink rose and a lavendar rose together sewed on one side of the 1 bag near the top, make an effective | finish. This bag, when finished. re- ,semb1es the parchment "head' of a l banjo-only, of course, 1t has an opening at the top made by not hay l ing the sides (which correspond to 1 the nickel part of a banjo-head) | come together at the top. | To Crochet Wool Rose: Oh 6, and join in ring; ch 2.

Must Keep Strict
 Liquor Sale Accounts

Wholesale druggists of Bridgeport must keep a strict account of their liquor transactions in the future. A new ruling by Prohibition Director Harry E. Mackenzie restricts whole sale druggists liquor withdrawals to only ten per cent. of the previous months business. The ruling will make 1t necessary for druggists to prepare each month an accurate statement of their gross business in dollars and cents to determine theis liquor allotment for the ensuing month.
 Director Mackenzie's move is direct ed primarily against the ''mush- room" whole drug stores which are springing up all over the state In increasingly large numbers. During the past three months since MT. Mackenzie has been in office, no less -9peJu u9eq eAeu slHuI than 150 applications for such per-

Again Identify
 Murder Victim

The mutilated torso of a womans body found near Long Island CltX last week has been again 'fdentlned, Bertha Baker, IS years old, of Hart ford. The girl has not been seen since October 12. when she disap- peared from her home. The descr1p- tion of the murdered girl and the missing Baker girl so cOlsely resem- ble each other that the Hartford po- lice went to New York this morning in company with several members or the Baker family to prove the iden- tity. This makes the fourth "identih- cation" since the finding of the body Families in New York, New Jersey and New Haven previously had claimed the body as that of m1ss' ing relative

 CATCHING ON?
 I am gratified to have received many letters anent my little piece in this column regarding the Italian boy I advised to go into the country The following is in answer to questions since received:
 The book mentioned is called Farms for Sale or to Rent in New York State and can be procured by postcard request mailed to the De- partment of Agriculture of New York State at Albany, N. r. Then, if you mean business, you can write or call at this Department in Albany. ana will get straight advice as to whether the land is ar1able, what kind of seed you will find it best to plant, where you will find your market, and much else with regard to farming, freely given you by experts. This is so in New York State; but the same, I am sure, is true of many. Certainly 1t is in New Hampshire. Vermont and
 Next, I beg of you, if you are going unto farming, go into 1t wholeheart- edly or don't go into it at all Also be prepared to work, otherwise you will lose your farm in bankruptcy proceedings, and your last state will be worse than your first. There must be hired men who will work faithfully and hard for you, but in the nature of things they must be rare. I will tell you why presently. The city parks are filled nightly by men who are raising an awful wall about unemployment; there isn't one of them who couldn't get a place on a farm if he would work for the wage which the farmer could afford to pay him. Do your own work then on your own farm!
 One August afternoon I took a rig and drove down through that part of Connecticut which was at one time a 1tiver bed, some of the most fertile 1 land the globe, all a1luvial. soil, l hardly a rock the size of 8 football | to be seen for miles.

I observed people most indus | triously growing tobacco and onions penniless immigrants, several years ago-the man and htS wife, his chill parents both sides, people whose l various languages I could not under | stand except to be sure they were not speaking English.
 Then drove into the city and came upon jobless sSck1y, emaciated Amer | jeans, on the corners hands in trous- CTS pockets hats s1ouched over their

 With new merrymallers and a new production the Big Wonder Show will come to the Park theatre, Tues- day and Wednesday of next week. Murphy and Mile Babette, a comedy and exceptionally young woman, head the cast. Of almost equal import ance as the many other principals are, Olive De Corney, Nettie WilsstS Bertha Sto1ler, Morok Sisters, Clare Evans, Frank Martin, Chick and Burt Hunter, and others who will be seen to advantage in the many bright and ca ap1iva8 ing scenes of an all-new two act book especially written. The plot is Interesting and deals with numerous complications and entangle- ments, during which the spectator is constantly amused. There are we'll staged musical ensembles in which the winning and attractive chorus wardrobe adds much to make the en- tertainment of the Big Wonder Show unusually handsome.
 Based on Thompson Buchannan's successful stage, melodran1a which created theatrical sensation when it played over year on Broad duction for Paramount, heads the new bill at the Plaza theatre today. An all star cast of Paramount stars | interpret the roles. Life is a recent years.
