Thermos Bottle in India.

A New York paper Friday had the fol- lowing reference to the use in India of 2 Thermos bottle, probably one made in Norwich:
 Ice on the Shore of the Arabian Sea-A wonderfully interesting letter tells about ice in Cochin, on the coast of sun-baked India;
 "Ih the club at Cochin. when you get a cool drink, you sign a chit for the dring and on the chit is an item for the few tiny crumbs of, ice that give the liquid a faint refreshing chill. One afternoon was in the really magnificent old house of one of the Englishmen. Lemonade was. passed around and the lady of the house followed up the servant and hshed up from the depths of a wtde-mouthed Fhermos bottle 9 bit of ice apiece. She apologfzed for the tiny ration of ice telling us that the supply had not come over from the com mercial ice plant at Madras that day and until it came we should have to put ur with what ice was left"

ASKING WOMEN HOW THEY
 INTERPRET ELECTORS, oL

How do Connecticut women interpret the electors oath? Does 1t mean that party members vote the party ticket straight regardless of the merits of par ticular candidates? Or does 1t mean that they should vote for the candidates they consider best regardless of party affiliations?
 The Connecticut League of Women Voters has asked it's members for opin- ions on this point. The July number of the Woman Voters Bulletin, published monthly by the league, says:
 Everyone, upon being made a voter in Connecticut takes the following oath:
 You solemly swear that you will be true and faithful to the State of Connec- ticut, and the constitution and govern ment thereof, as free and indepedent state, and to the constitution of the United States; and whenever you shall be called to give you vote or suffrage touching any matter that concerns this state or the United States you will con- duce to the best good of the same with out respect of persons or favor of any man; so help you God
 How do Connecticut women interpret the electors oath. Some, believing that the best interests of government lie in the success of the party of which they
 
 ticket straight regardless of the merits of apy particular candidate They be- lieve that the time to work for the candi- date of ones choice is in the caucus, but that after the caucus they should sup port whatever candidate wins.
 Other party members find that they can not always conseientiously vote for their party's candidates. They believe that if their party fails to put up as good candidate for a particular office as some other party, it is their duty as cit izens to split their ticket and vote foI the one they consider best They do not believe that women lose influence in poll tics by doing this. Rather they feel that their action will be an effectual protest that it will force their party to put LII better candidates for the next election l They believe that such action will servt | to improve the party.
 Here is q real difference Of opinion It is a point that women will discus l more and more keenly as election da. comes nearer. It is one that they ough to discuss with freedom and open minded ness"
 The Woman Voters Bulletin will giv space in it's August issue to opinion from league members. It has asked fo contributions of not over seventy-fiv words. The present number also con tains questions and . answers on tn Sheppard-Towner maternity act, tells c experiments in the direct primary fo the nomination of candidates in Meride and NIiddletown and outlines the work C the League of Women Voters for proven tion of war by international cooperation
