Escorts for School Children
and Guides for Tourists.

LONDON. May 14.-There Il a growing
demand for "aunts' TO escort schoolboys
and schoolgirls who are passing through
London on their way to and from school
for vacations. American visitors are
also keen on securing the services OF
'aunts" for sightseeing and shopping ex-
petitions. This has led 10 the formation
of an association called Universal
Aunts," composed OF about seventy cul-
tured women experienced in travel and
having linguistic ability.
Their sphere of usefulness is not con
fined to the chaperoning of boys, girls
and American visitors, as many of the
"aunts" are expsrts in designing dresses
and decorating houses.

ing to Senator Hugues lie Roux, in the
Echo de Parts
While complaining of the difficulty of
obtaining baths in France the Senator
does not approve the English tub"
being apparently under the impression
that the English take only ice cold baths
which he gives as the reason that they
are the people most afflicted with
catarrh and other pulmonary and nasal
infrmites." What he urges Is the Amer
lean system installed by an American
plumber. The French plumbers do not
understand their business, according to
the Senator.
THE American plumber is an extra
ordinary virtuoso compared with whom
ours are but poor tyros." he says. Con
slider how often the Paris bath with its
gas heater does not work. and how long
1t takes to fill It with water that has
reached temperature that will allow
one to plunge into 1t without fear of
Catching bronchitis.
IF one complains, the plumber says
that 1t is because there Is no gas pres
sure, and the gas man replies that 1t Is
because the apparatus is no good In
the United States. on the other hand,
hot water is always ready. The only
real remedy that I can suggest Is for
US to marry our French cooks to Amer
lean plumbers. Thus in a quarter of a
century we should get a generation of
efficient experts who would make the
fortune of French hotels"

NORTH CANAAN's BOIL"

Editor Peterson, of the Torrington Register, asks a question and makes a statement editorially regarding the growth of the growing end of the Nutmeg" that we feel should not pass unnoticed. Following are the remarks:
 "What is the matter with Ca naan and it's sister, North Canaan? Those towns once proudly desig mated by John Rodemeyer as "the growing end of the nutmeg", con- tain only three per cent. of the total population of LitChfield County but they are furnishing about thirty-three per cent. of the criminal cases on the long docket for the coming session of the su- perior court. The new growth on "the growing end of the nutmeg" appears to be in the nature of a boil"
 Only three per cent. of the popu lation! Yee-ow! And our healthy growth has a boil on it! Gee! That makes us sore! If Editor Peterson had said fungus" we wouldn't be rearing around on our hind legs, bn7 a boil is enough to make anyone sore.
 Living in con2munity whose mum bers and nationalities make crime z common occurrence, as does Brother Peterson, it would seem that q little cleanup campaign, such as we have had here, would hardly be noticed by him. Further, we will say that thc fungus was not entirely confined t the growing end of the nutmeg. Th' local authorities desiring to keel North Canaan clean, secured thu adjoining towns, going as far al Torrington in a south easterly direc tion and into Berkshire County Mass, on the north. From thes places were brought forth man, kinds of criminals and violators O the law. The state is now payini directly for their enforced vacation but we feel sure Torrington is con tributing a large proportion in directly.

INCREASED NITROGEN SUPPLY
Element May Be Added by Proper Soil Treatment, Rotation of
 Crops and Phosphate.

The supply of nitrogen, the most costly element of food for plants, can be increased through proper soil treatment, rotation of crops, the ad- dltion of phosphate and limestone and the growing and blowing under of legumes. All stable manure is to be utilized, and on the older worn soils of the East and South some commer- cial nitrogen may be profitably used. Following a crop that is a heavy nitro gen consumer with one that is a light user Is good farm practice.
