THE HAGUE CONFERENCE.

With the onening of the conference that was adjourned from Genoa to The Hague it remains to be seen whether any better progress is going to be made than was done in the Italian city. There has been time in which to make the most of such understandings as were reached at Genoa and to consider what is going to be the policy in dealing with the Russian situation, but from the pre- lfminary exchange of views 1t doesn't ap- pear that any compromise course has been agreed. upon by the nations par ticipating, and particularly Great Brit ain and France.
 France has agreed to participate but 1t is by no means reconciled to soviet Russia or the demands that it made at Genoa. France. through its president, takes the stand that it is absolutely useless to attempt to do business with such a government as long as 1t ad- heres to the position taken only few weeks ago. France has no intention of doing business with Russia unless it is willing to admit the rights of private property and recognizes the indebted ness that it has incurred and it does not look with favor upon other nations talk ing view that is contrary thereto France doesn't believe that soviet Rus sia is country with which any chances can be taken, and in that view of course it is supported by the unfavorable re- suits which others have had in negotiat- ing trade agreements.
 Great Britain, however, doesn't ap- pear to have budged from it's disposition to take a lenient view of Russia and to trust to luck that whatever is done will encourage that country to meet it's re- responsibilities. This Is done regardless of the history of the soviets, but the fact that the countries are not together upon a programme of action doesn't give any great assurance that there will be any more accomplished at The Hague than there was at Genoa.
 There has been nothing done in Rus sia to change the views of this country regarding soviet responsibility, and in voicing its attitude France indicates that it views the situation in very much the same manner. Russia can do much tc relieve the tension but it remains to be seen whether 1t will.

FROM LUCILLE'S DIARY

That will be lovely said Miss Mar tin and thanking her warmly for her timely help to me, left.
 When I offered to do that embroid- cry for Jessannine I had no concep- tion of how difficult it is to work on velvet If grandmother had not learn ed in the convent in her girlhood to do most charming embroid oidery, ! don't know what I should have done. For tunately, she was glad to do it for me. It makes dear granny happy to feel that she is useful so I always give any little odds and ends that I can She worked on the jacket faithfully while
 Cousin Fannie finished the slipover
 for me. I helped by reading aloud
 Cousin Fannies French lessons.
 It was good practice for me to brush up a bit in French and was just the thing for Cousin Fannie, who really needs to hear a more correct accent than hers. I am sure the few days that 1 did this two or three hours helped her great deal.
 The coat was wonderful pretty ! when granny got it done, and I help l ed it on to get the effect and it suit 1 ed me so well that I decided to bor-
 row it for one appearance only, at the ! Wayfarers' Club, where I was going 1 to a golf tourney with my new friend, Stephen Vyles. I was awfully glad 1 to have something so novel and chic
 to wear, as he is man who appre-
 ciates smart dressing. I had no idea l that Jessamine would care, but in this I was wrong for greatly to my aston
 ishment I met her at the club and she l glared at me in an almost ferocious
 manner. 1 Dear me, Jess, I am surprised t | see you here. I thought you were over l in Michigan siad pleasantly.
 l Well, I'm certainly surprised to | see you,' she said eyeing the coat. "It was sweet of you to bring my jac- i ket out here on the chance fo seeing l me and I shall be glad to relieve yot 1 of it now, as it is quite too warm tC be comfortable, l am sure"
 l Of course there was nothing to dC I but to remove the jacket which I dit l as gracefully as possible under th' l circumstances. don't know what Mir l Yyles thought of the little encounter 1 but I know what I thought I though l Jessamine was saockingly rude, ant most ungrateful for the beautiful em broidery, which she did not even men ton. It was sorry that l had done S much trouble for her.-Chicago News

SQUARE DEALING.

Every now and then there bobs up the matter of short weight. An iceman in Q neighboring state has recently been called into court for selling ice by guess. It doesn't appear that he had failed to give less than he should have for the money but his cart wasn't equipped with scales so that he had no way of check Ing up his judgment.
 There may be those in any line of business who are disposed to give over weight for good measure, but that is not the impression that is given when they undertake to dispose of goods without weighing them especially when the customary method of dispensing them Is by weight. Likewise when pound of any article is bought and paid for there is a much greater sense of sat isfaction to know that pound has been actually received than there is to know that it has not been weighed and there is as good if not better, chance that 1t is underweight than over
 But when it Is required that distribu- tors must be equipped with scales 1t cannot be expected that evasions of the requirements are going to be disregard ed under any plea that generous treat ment is being accorded the purchaser in the way of weight. The customer feels greater sense of security when the distributor weighs his goods. He may be placing too much confidence in the scales and too little in the dealer but in these days Of sharp practices there is good reason for insisting upon fair and square deal, and when the ! authorities take action to that end they are serving the best interests of all con- cerned. It is impossible to require scales of one dealer and not do the same by the others.

STOPPING VEHICLES Ar NIGHT.

Perhaps the question has been raised in your mind as to what you would do in case you were driving through the country and someone should demand that you stop. You might have visions Of holdup men and robbers unless you caught sight of a uniform. and then as ln the case of a Massachusetts man, you might get the impression that an ex-ser- vice man had found it necessary to re- sort Go desperate methods, step on the Eas and endeavor to get away.
 While this assumption may have been bit un1ustided it doubtless would have been in line with what others would have done. Nevertheless 1t was quite as reasonable for the driver to have figured that Inc man in uniform was member of tho state police. which he was. as to have jumped at the other conclusion. The wrong inference result td in the firing of several snots and the pursuit Of the efeing driver, who upon being overtal1en threatened to make nr7ued resistance until he learned from whom he had been trying to get away.
 By his action this driver had given he state police the impression that he uas the holdup man for whom they were looking. Naturally he was considerably tunerved over the pursuit and the firing Es shpts ius his direction thoughAhe vas

Warninr Against oal PIants.

MT. Editor: Will you allow me to say a few words of warning in regard to the oil plant industries proposed for the Thames river? The plans suggest ed by MT. Pendleton in the Thursday morning Bulletin sound good, and it seems as if the carrying out of such plans would be 8 great boom to east ern Connecticut; but oil refineries have been a great injury to other places and are bound to be injuries to eastern Con necticut They should be established in places which are desert and uninhabit- ed. for the pollution of the waters and the pollution of the air for miles about them is terrible.
 Massachusetts is now having unpleas- ant experiences with two plants, which are causing lot of trouble-one in Fall River and one in Braintree. near Boston. The oil from these refineries spells the water for miles about, so that bathing, boating and fishing are spoiled, and the stench, both summer and winter. is unbeatable.
 Those who have property along the banks of the Thames river, and in the cities of New London and Norwich shouN stir themselves eahay to stop the project before it is too late, for their property, unless bought by the company will be useless. I have some property

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
More Objections to the Carnivals.

More Objections to the Carmvals.
 MT. Editor: When I bacame a tax payer of the East Side, the Battlegrounds was nice grass rlot with path along the river, but twenty-five years of civ ilization and prosperity have turned 1t into a dump and ball playing ground to break windows and do other damage, The same grass path is now Talman street extension. When the weekly carnivals are here the citizens and tax payers can not use it to go home for their din- ners it is taken up by tents and furth- CT back it is used for the accommoda- tion of the patronizers of the carnival at night. Where is the city health and street commissioner?
 The carnlvals that see on the Bat tlegrounds are not amusement for the children; they are far too nerve-rack- ing and kert too late at night. They are cover for something else. (Have ycu notided that the carnivaIs grow rather numerous since the drinking and gambling establishments are no longer public?) If children must have play ground in summer the money is taken out of the city by these carnivals would buy those lots and transform them into l a play grounds ten times over. At least if we cannot have that let us have the grass plot we had or homes in the 1 heart of the Rose of New England. OBSERVER.

 The case Is not so difference from an- other which occurred in that state some months ago. Under such circumstances when the state police undertake to pro- tect the highways and stop drivers in so doing there doesn't appear to be any sure way of convincing the man at the wheel that they are not really highway men from whom it would be the dispo- sition Hof many to flee, under the belief that they stand better chance of get ting away whole than if they halt as commanded.

THE TORTURE OF
INDIGESTION
Thousands Relieved by Taking
"Frult-a-tlVeS"
The Famous Fruit Medicine

What is Indigestion and what
causes it2 AS you know, solid food
must be changed into liquid by tho
stomach before it can be taken up as
nourishment by the blood.
The stomach acts as chum. IL is
covered by strong, muscular coat
and lined with a soft, delicate
membrane which secretes tho Gastric
Juice which digests or dissolvcs solid
food.
When food enters the stomach, the
muscular coat squeezes and presses
the food from end to end, or churns
1t, with the gastric juice to dissolve
or digest it.
Buff the stomach muscles are
weak-or il the dissolving fluid IS
poororinsuiIicient - then food cannot.
be digested properly and you have
Indigestion.
"Ftuita.,iucs" or "Fruit LGxo Tablets"
are made from concentrated and irtensi-
fed fruit juices and tonics. They will
positively cure Indigestion and Dys-
pepsia because they tone up the
stomach, bowels, kidneys and skin,
and thus insure pure gastric juice
and improved digestion.
"Ffuita.tiuss", the only medicine made
from fruit JUICES, viii correct your iadiges-
ton and enable you to enjoy euey meal.
