HEALTH AND BEAUTY

An easy and effective mode of venti- latien can be arranged with piece of wood cut a little smaller than the width of the window frame and about six inches high. Insert this at the bottom of the frame and shut the window bottom down on the wood. A steady ventilating process will go on from the center of the windows.
 If you have hollow cheeks or an insignificant nose, the hair should be brought out over the ears and duffed a little out on the cheeks. If you have LA very large nose the hair should be brought over the cheeks also, but not to such an extent. It is only very we'll formed nose that can stand a severe style of hair dressing.
 One splendid exercise for overeom- ing round shoulders is as follows: Lie flat on the floor, with the arms along the sides of. your body. Slow ly open them out, keeping them al ways so they touch the floor, and bring them over the head. This eK- ercises practically every muscle down the back and it raises the chest. Ii should be done about 25 times, twice 8 day. that is about 50 times alto gether.
 There are so many styles of ceiffure that you should have no difficulty in finding something to suit your parti- the hour if it is unbecoming to you Study your hair; take a hand mirror and look at the front, sides and back try doing it up in different ways and decide which one looks best. Arrange it so as to bring out your best lines in other words, so that it will make you, the real you, look your very best

RAILROAD oN pAYLIerrr rra1E.

Announcement by the New Haven road to the effect that from the last Sunday in this month it will put daylight saving time into effect on it's system to continue until the last sunday of October indicates that as fsr as transportation service for southern New EAgland is concerned there will be no NnSertainty. 1t may opnhict as it did last year with the communities which adhere to standard time thncughcut the summer, but it is action taken with a view to running its trains in accord with the time prevailing in New York city and Massachusetts, and the larger communities in Connecticut and Rhode Island. It's action is in accord with the policy that inasnuch as the majority de- mands daylight saving that is what should govern.
 Whether New York state will remove its daylight saving law now rests with the governor. But Governor Miller is talk ing the same course that Governor Smith did. He has decided to hold hearing upon the question of repeal to find out for his own information just what the sentiment is. Governor Smith did this and decided, in spite of the legislatures approval of the repeal, that it ought not to be repealed and vetoed the bill. If Governor Miller goes that far it is not believed that it will be possible to over ride it. But if he approves of the repeal. local option will prevail and New York is committed to daylight saving and that big terminal must naturally have it's ef- feet ppon the New Haven road
 Connecticut cities fer the most part fla vor daylight saving. The same is true in Rhode Island end in Massachusetts the effort to repeal the daylight law is not likely to succeed though considerable sen timent favors reducing the length of the daylight saving period.
 The action of the railroad will ungues- tienably mean that those cities which changed their time last year will do so this. That will be in keeping with uni ferEnity as well as in accord with public sentiment and for the preservation of this benefits which come with the saving of that additional hour of daylight.

GERMANY MUST PAY.

Much interest of course centers in the reply which the German delegates will make to the allies today, the time fixed for the reply to the statement made by Lloyd George last week that the offer which had been made by Germany as a substitute for the reparation demands was entirely unsatisfactory and that the allies would proceed to send forces into Germany unless the representatives Of hat country accepted the terms or could convince the allies that there were ways In which they could meet the demands letter than by the terms submitted in the indemnity proposal.
 Unsatisfactory ttus far has been the sndeavors of the Germans at the London conference to get a reduction in the mount demanded of Germany. They have encountered a united front on the part of the allies after having come to the conference expecting to make some headway with the claim that Germany cannot pay what is demanded of it. Ger many hasn't impressed the conference or those awaiting It's outcome with the fact that it is sincerely prepared to do it's best to meet the bill. r. endeay0as to counter by claiming that 1t is net responsible, by intimating that it ought not to be viewed as the loser and that 1t does not possess the means to meet the terms.

 Tony looked thoughtful. He was a small boy. even smaller than his twin sister Laura, but he seemed older, for ever since his father was killed overseas, he had been the man of the family.
 'I'll give up my Christmas money Toney said. your Christmas money, are yeu% ask
 "Yes, all of it." he replied, with a little sigh. Tt won't go very far" t.Nell. Pm not going to give all of mine. I'm going to save enough to buy
 sweater for my precious Geraldine, for Laura adored her newest doll. Just then their pretty Aunt Laura | came downstairs in an evening gown. i She was going to a great dinner in Boston for the benefit of the starving
 children abroad and there was to be I a vacant high chair on the platform to represent a hungry little child. "I am so sorry you are not going, 1 too" she said to her sister -in-l law, whe was helping her into her wraps. But Mrs. Marsh was not sorry, she \ was going to have her own good time at home; for the invisible guest could be at every table in the land.
 ] When the dfning-room door was l opened, the children saw the high i chair that Tony had sat in when he
 was a tiny child at the head of the 1 table for the invisible guest, and the 1 Nigh chair that Laura had sat in next
 te her own place, and in it sat her | newest doll!
 l "Oh, you set a place for Geraldine, l how nicei" exclaimed Laura.
 They ate their supper without say |! ing very much, while the candle burn ed lower and lower at the place of l the invisible guest. Tony was think ] ing of the great and good man who planned the dinner in Boston, and I loaged with all his ardent young soul to grow up brave and true. so he
 could do some big work that would l count. Laura thought how glad she
 was that she lived where food and
 coal were plentiful. She had never felt so thankful for her blessings be- fore; and Mrs. Marsh was thinking of her husband, who had gone across the sea to lay down his life that other ma tions might be free, and there might be peace in the world. Freedom had
 not come as yet, nor peace to all, but perhaps when her children grew up, something of this dream might come 1 true.
 Then she told them over again of the work for the starving children and
 added, wen send our contributions l tomorrow"
 The last spoonful of stew was eaten I and the last drop of cocoa drunk: even Geraldine's portion was gone, for Laura drank Geraldine's cocoa, and gave Tony the dolls share of stew ] Because am not so aYfuliy fond of stew as you are" she said, then glanc- | ing at her mother, she added, I am

roNIGHrs MEETING ON SCHOOLS,

The open meeting in the town hall to- night for the discussion of the merits of the proposition for-more adequate school facilities in two sections of the city calls for and doubtless will get large attend ance. It is a meeting which will serve to better prepare the citizens for action at the special town meeting which has been called for Friday night when decision will be made as to what is to be done to give the children the schooling they are Anti- ted to.
 New school buildings in Norwich are a rarity. Nothing has been done in that di. rection for the last quarter of a century and then it was when the schools were under the district system. Since consol- dation nothing of the kind has been un- dertaken. In the meantime, as we have desired, Norwich has grown The build ngs which were not fully or only com fortably occupied at one time are now Overcrowded. There are children who are not getting -the advantages others are, pr that they are entitled to, because of insufficient school room.
 It isn't a case of advocating a new building to discard an cid or an existing one. All that are r>oss1sSed will be re- auired even when tho ones to be &C., uuired Or constructed an, Neady for use.
 The question ruay be raised as whether 1t is advisable to bu Id now Conditions are better. How much better they will be if we should wait year no one knows. It is known that conditions in the schools as to room are bad and growing worse. With Norwich steadily going ahead and the population increasing on ts>e East Side and West Side the handicap that exists will be increased so seriously that the diff ference in the cost of construction be- tween now and a year from now can only be considered in connection with the ef- feet which delayed action will have upon our educational system and the children involved.
 Norwich has always stood for good schools and it isn't believed that it is ready to reverse itself on that policy The citizens at least should attend to. nights meeting for the purpose of in. forming themselves or the meeting upor the merits of the proposition before tht town.

OUR POSITION.

Notifca ton to the effect that the United States expected them to adjust their diff ferences otherwise than by force is no more than the Panama and Costa Rica governments should have anticipated. The idea of undertaking to settle such trouble as that involved in B boundary dispute by resort to war should never be entertained until all other avenues for adjustment have been closed. The two countries have made efforts which do not appear to have been successful Appar- ently each insisted upon having its way and refusing to carry out the decision of those before whom the facts were pre- sented. At least a number of years has passed before any attempt has been made to carry out the terms of the award, and the method employed was such as to cause ill feelings Nevertheless it is no time to show which is the stronger or the weaker, no time to measure their fighting abilities and no time to create greater enmity between neighbors
 The United States nas no other inter- est in the matter than to see that blood shed is avoided and justice secured It doesn't want to see the countries drained of funds and men and the fighting terri tory devastated when, as it believes, 1t is possible to bring about settlement in a peaceful manner. Interests of Ameri- cans will of course be carefully looked after and the government will endeavog to obtain a solution of the dispute on the basis of the White award made in 1914
 Panama, n spite of pertain demonstra. tions which have taken place there, ap. pears to be disposed to accept the advics and assistance offered by tho United States for the adjustment of the trouble Costa Rica's reply while not so satisfac- tory, may yet result in that republic agreeing to such a solution. From such ?. reply as it is reported has been received from the league of nations it is expected that this country's good offices will noa rnly be offered by accepted in bringing about a settlement. The dispute has ex isted for many years, and it is time tha' t was not only settled but whateve1 award is made accepted by the two coun
 .ries and put into effect.

CARING FOR KITCHEN FLOOR.

Whatever the material of the kitch- en floor, or the covering used on it, constant scrubbing and the excessive use of soap and water will ipjure the surface. Care. should be taken, there fore, not to drop f6od on the floor. Spreading papers where food is likely to be dropped or grease to be spat- tered. will save labor in the end. A soft brush or dust mop will keep a floor in better condition than a broom and make mopping less frequently necessary. A dish mop of hotel size, kept in a convenient place and used to remove drops of water or other liquids accidentally spilled, will save frequent scrubbing of the entire floor, and when dampened and wrung nearly dry can be used to remove spots or dust. If so used it will often prevent dirt from being carried from one part of the room to another.

HOME MILLiMERY.

In millinery it is easy to create a be- coming little toque with a ready made bpclzram shape which need not cost over k2 at most and some fabric from ones scrap bag. Silk and cloth are all So much used this year, in both dark and bright colors, that one can choose practically any color that is becoming or that goes nicely with ene's street clothes. A combination of fab- rics. too, is just as modish for hats as for dresses. so a hat crown of silk .draped around with cloth or feathers is way to utilize scraps. An old silk dress, either taneta or satin, can be used even when quite worn if covered where .ther is thin spot with wool, silk or chenille embr oidery. Metallic threads, too, make an old fabric look quite new and smart. As feathers are more used this year on hats than formerly, it is possible to make a feather "melange"-that is, to use up a great many small feathers of all colors and band a toque with them To hold them in place piece of mal- inc in dark blue is both neat and at- tractive.

HE CRAY FOOTWEAR.

This seems to have appealed strong iy to Dame Fashion, for there is plenty of it. Dear little gray slippers, with one, two and more straps-straps with buttons straps with buckles ard straps in perforated effects are all in favor. The gray suede sort is especial ly pepular-and it is pretty enough to deserve the popularity.
 To go with the slippers the hosiery makers have certainly thought up prettier stockings than ever. Clocked stockings, stockings with lacy and eeenweFk designs, stockings with drop stitch stripes, stockings with openEork stripes = all these she may have.
 And there are other accessories, toe dainty new gray silk gloves in all the requisite lengths, and gray gloves of chAmois lisle that look like suede and, of course, gloves of real suede ir the right shade.

cARE oE YELNEr.

Good Yelvets cost so much nowa- days that it often pays to spend time in freshening them.
 Most xelvets may be freshened by steaming from the wrong side. One was is to draw the velvet through the steam from teakettle. Care must be taken that the teakettle contains only little water. or the water may spat- ter out and spot the velvet. As a spe- cial precaution several thicknesses of cheeseeloth may be tied over the spot. A cone of heavy paper placed around the spout will direct the steam and make it possible to hold the velvet farther from the heat.
 Another way to steam velvet is to place several thicknesses of damp cloth oyer a hot iron and pass the back of the velvet quickly over the cloth. Velvet so creased that it can not be freshened by steaming may be banned" by steaming and then ironing it in one, direction.
