-EIRsT AIp FoR suNsrRokE.

There are two kinds of collapse caused by summer heat. The first, heat stroke, is much the less serious. The symptoms are collapse, pallor (note this point), sweating, rapid fec ble pulse, hurried breathing, and tenn perature lower than normal. Treat by rest in bed, plenty of fresh air and stimulants. Recovery is almost al ways complete, without after effects
 Sunstroke proper is much more dan gerous, and prompt first aid may save the sufferers life. It is caused by direct exposure to the suns rays, par ticularly if they strike the back of the neck. The first symptom is generally very sudden and deep loss of con sciousness. People may collapse sud denly in the street, and their lives may depend on the right treatment from the nearest passers-by. In this case the face is highly flushed (Where- as it is white in heatstroke and an Or dinary fainD and the temperature rises rapidly.
 Send for doctor immediately In the meantime loosen all tight clothing and apply cold to reduce the tempera- ture. This may be done with ice Ca sponge bag full should be secured to the head) or, failing this, by sponging the body almost continuously with cold water.

suMMER RESORT HAZARDS.

Nothing is palmer than the statement made in connection with the destruction of residences at Averne, L. l., that the difficulty of guarding against the fight ing fire at seashore resorts is great. At the shore it Is the custom to locate cot tages and even larger buildings about as close as they can be built. They are of light construction and 1t cannot fail to impress those who give any thought 10 such matter that once fire gets start ed the chances of stopping it are slim unless there are better facilities for such work than exists at most beaches. Be- sides the excellent material for the flames there is invariably a breeze at the shore which increases the work of those who undertake to stop fire.
 When such facts are understood, how ever, there should be a corresponding in crease in the efforts made to prevent fires. It takes only a brief time to wipe out two and half million dollars worth of property, as the loss at Averne is now estimated. Increased fire appara- tus, fire boats and an improved water system would have made it possible to direct better fight against the flames, but prevention of the cause would have been much easier and quicker.
 It is at this season of the year when much of the shore property is being got ten ready for the summer season that some of the worst fires occur. It is the result of the careless activities of those engaged about them in the use of matches, torches or fire, in some form. Due thought concerning the consequences of carelessness, the misuse of f1rebrands or the proper safeguards, as well as the elimination of such materials as are plainly hazardous will do much to pre- vent fires at any place, but for protec- tion of neighbor as well as self more than the usual caution should be exer- cised in the thickly settled summer col onies. The greatest protection is to be gained before confagration is started, and not after 1t is underway or after smoking ruins have replaced the cot tages and hotels

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.

Never use hot water for washing as 1t dries up the skin and tends to encourage wrinkles-a sure sign of advancing age.
 Always push the cuticle back after every washing, and there will be little need to attend to it at any other time.
 Don't cut the nails more than you can help. They should be filed every day, so that there is no necessity to use scissors.
 Egg shampoos are especially good for dark hair.
 The question of the right shampoo at the right time is important, for without well groomed, glossy hair no woman can lay claim to beauty.
 Unless hair is clean it loses it's bril- lEancT- Consequently cleanliness is the first essential. This doesn't mean however, that hair must be washed too often. It should not be washed more than once a month unless some special occasion demands it, but ii should be brushed slowly and well every night with a brush that is ab- solutely clean. Remove the pins and let it hang loose for a while in the evening for the beneficial result of the air reaching the scalp

IN THE PUBLIC EYE

Today's commencement exercises at Wesleyan University, Middletown, Conn, will be of especial interest because of the presence of the oldest alumnus, ex- Senator Cornelius Cole. of California, who will celebrate his tooth birthday anniversary 8 few months hence. Mir. Cole has accepted an invitation to cross the continent in order to be present al the commencement The venerable alum nus was born in 1922, during President Monroe's administration, in the town of Lodi, N. Y. He was graduated from Wesleyan seventy-hve years ago this month and Is now the sole survivor of his class. After graduation he returned to New York state and was admitted to the bar, practising in oswego. When the big gold rush of '4s came on. Mir. Cole and six others made their way across the great plains and settled h California. He was chosen a member of the first republican national commit tee. He sat in congress during the lat ter part of the Cicil war and was a United States senator from 1888 to ls73.

NEW ENGLAND RoAns.

In various ways the railroads of New England have come in for a large amount of attention for the past several years. This has been increased by the financial problems which they have been obliged to face. While all roads have been hit as the result of the war there were troubles which New England roads had before the war and which they have not as yet shaken off.
 Thus 1t can be appreciated that the question of uniting the New England roads into one system which has been advocated is one that must get more than slight attention. All New England roads may not be in the same class. but The weakness of the largest of them is apparent. Should they be combined in- to one system can 1t be expected that they are going to gain any strength? It would be a New England system, but would that furnish any more business or sarmit 1t to do business more efi- sientiyr
 Under federal law it Is possible for roads 10 combine in systems, and recom- mendations have been made in that d. 'ection. It is possible for New England
  roads to become part or parts of large trunk systems, or to combine among themselves IL has been recognized by Inc interstate commission that the New England roads should have a larger per centage of through freight rates than they have been getting. and that service in New England calls for such. Is 1t going to be better for such conditions to be figured in a large system outside New England. or to restrict them to New England where unfavoraole results could develop from the higher rates which would be required on such a regional Fystem?
 These are matters which must get careful attention in reaching a decision concerning the future of the New Eng land roads. It Is not desired to do any thing that would operate in detrimen. tal way to this important industrial sec. ton or to the roads. If the interests of all sections are certain of being pro- tected under any method 1t Is the best and not a short sighted course that should be pursued. The merits of all methods must be weighed in the balance a reaching the decision.

and the fire protective service for guard ing such property.
 When the chief of the department of agriculture states that "The public should be impressed with the fact that the timber supply 40 to 100 years from now depends very largely upon what Is permitted to grow upon the cut over timber lands" he is dealing with a fact that should be apparent to any who have given any thought to the matter. We cannot have our cake and eat it, and 1t is also self evident that timber for commercial purposes Is not obtained in week or month. There must be preparation in keeping with understood facts and with view to obtaining the best results at the harvest time, instead of trusting to luck and hoping that the brush pasture will convert itself into a gold mine in the sweet bye and bye.
 We cannot afford to neglect our wood lands. They are of the greatest import ance not only for the timber they pro- duct but for the protection which they give to the rivers and streams. It is a subject that may well be given careful attention in connection with waste and undeveloped land.

NEEpLEWoRK NOTES

In sewing pockets on. childrens clothes set them low enough for the finger tips barely to reach the bot tom; the hands cannot then be pushed so far into the pockets as to tear then off.
 A new and practical apron recently seen was merely a straight length of fabric gathered at one side and slipped over metal hoop or wire bent to fit about the waist. The particular advan- tage to htis apron, so it's originator declared, was the fact that it would fit any figure, and could be slipped off the hoop for laundering.
 A muslin blouse trimmed with lace requires special attention when being ironed. The lace should be treated first and ironed on the wrong side in or der to bring the pattern up, the mus lin is ironed on the right side. Plait- ings and frills requiring goffering are, of course, treated last.
 A new way to make use of white petticoats is to cut off the band of a petticoat and make regular carni- sole top by slightly gathering it on to some lace insertion and then putting a lace edge on that. Run a ribbon through the insertion and put ribbon straps on it. These slips may be made with a band of embroidery. crochet ed yoke or a hemstitched hem.

AN nrPoRrANT ouEsTIoN.

Forestry officials have for a consider able time been urging upon the people the importance of planning now and each year for the timber supply of the future, instead of waiting until the available supply Is further decreased and then try ing to do the impossible in a short period of time.
 If reports are correct there is much to be expected from the results that are being obtained in the removal of ink from newspapers without destroying the fiber and thus permitting 1t to be re- worked into newsprint. Millions of tons of paper can be reclaimed in that way each year if the process accomplishes what Is claimed for it.
 But newsprint Is not the only thing dependent upon a timber supply. The demands for pulp wood might experi- ence some decrease but there is grow. ing demand for other kinds of wood while the supply is dwindling. There { need for all the attention that is being eirected to the question of reforestation Dc utilization d Easts or unused land ~ v z~- e--. 7---77H 77|-

FORCING SAFETY.

Effective means of dealing with any weaknesses that develop in connection with the federal departments is what the country expects, and what is needed if The undesirable conditions are to be overcome.
 IL was not so long ago that the coun- try was disturbed with much frequency by the epidemic Of holdups where valua- ble mail was involved. and some huge losses were sustained. While such loot Ing didn't always prove total loss. in asmuch as large recoveries were made, they disclosed a state of affairs that was disconcerting to say the least. They showed that something more effective in Inc way of increased safety for the mails vas needed. There were those who felt that the corrective measures were too strong. but they have obtained desired results as that is what was desired Prompt checking of train, mail wagon and postofiice holdups was needed and that Is what has been obtained.
 Postmaster General Work had good reason for referring to the measures un- dertaken for the protection of valuables h transit when he spoke to the Pennsyl- vania postmasters. and to indicate his satisfaction over the results obtained. When he notes that for the year preced- Ing April 1, 1921, that the losses from mall robberies reached the total of six and a third million it is plain that some action other than that being taken was called for. When there was no im- provement and losses amounting to more than a million at a time were disclosed the placing of armed guards on the trains with orders to shoot and the arm Ing of postal employees seem to have de- creased the interest in that kind of crime Tor since the marines became active the losses have dropped to less than three quarters of a million.
 This was drastic enforcement of pro- tection but 1t told in plain te-ms to those Inclined to regard Uncle Sam as an easy mark what they could expect by contin- ped activity. They have taken the cue and while the losses in the transit of mail matter has not entirely disappear sd it is In all probability getting back rlose to if not quite normal.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
No odOrs and No Contamination.

Mir. Editor: The article in your issue of June 18th headed Warning About Oil Plants,'' was evidently written by a man of no technical knowledg. The article was signed F. c. Williams. and intended to prevent, so far as possi- ble the erection of an oil-refnery on the Thames that would benefit hundreds of employees and tens of thousands of users of gasoline. The gasoline that will be produced at the plant to be erected will be known as super-gasoline. The process and machinery for making this high-grade product ars patented. Un- der this rrocess there will be no odors, slug oil or refuse to contaminate the river. This process Is worked under a vacuum and oil vapors are condensed, making saving of at least Is per cent over the processes used by the rehneries about New York.
 Every ounce is transformed into a fuel for internal combustion engines. Hence the economy and value of the process of our manufacture. The process trans forms the unsaturated molecule of the hydro-carbon oil into a fully saturated fuel for internal combustion engines. The tanks to be used are absolutely tight, having been tested under hydraulic pres sure. These technical points on the man ufacture are under master chemical en- gineer supervisor. No vapor Is allowed to escape Gone of the losses in the or dinary manufacturing by the old-fash- ioried stilD. While cracking of the crude hydro-carbon oil is in progress. ! all vapors are condensed by passing 1 through condensing cous surrounded by cold water, so that no vapor from the oI can escare. The gas produced by this | process, after being washed, is conveyed | to gas-holding tanks, and used as fuel | in the process of manufacture.
 When the fuel is condensed into tanks that have been tested under hydraulic pressure of 15o pounds there is no op- portunity for the escape of vapors It Is l then conveyed to tank-cars for shipment | to consumers. We do not allow any of the products to escape as Saports !n- i to the air. We condense all these va- rorts into internal combustion engines and we sell them for .ess pr e than the ordinary gasoline is sold. We also give greater dynamic energy and efficiency to the engines using them.
 No local or state law can prevent us l from using this process. It is fully pa tented and we are fully protected by the | United States government to make, use and sell our products for IT years.
 Very respectfully.

MARKING LINEN

There are many charming methods of marking linen, but housewives are too busy in these strenuous days to spend much time in elaborate embroid- cry. The most quickly executed meth cd is to have a name plate cut and then it only requires brushing over with marking ink to leave a clear and neatly written inscription.
 Cross stitch is an fashioned method of working the name and date but it is always very pretty when 1t is finished. It is a good plan to mark household linen in two colors, blue for the best sheets, etc, and red for the everyday linen.
 To write the name in pencil and then work over it in red cotton is an excellent way for the autograph, and gives a distinctive touch to such pro saic articles as bath towels and pill low cases
