Probably the Armenians have long since been wondering what is to become of them in the new situation which Is shaping itself in the near east They haven't in the past been shown much protection. It was not long ago that they got some interesting promises from the allied nations but they haven't been kept and now they seem certain to go back to that gentle and sympathetic at tention from the Turks which Is aimed at their extermination.
 Armenia certainly cannot look with much hope upon the present outlook There was some encouragement for a brighter future when it was stipulatr : in the Sevres treaty that Armenia should be established as separate state and the boundaries of it were even carefully set forth. The way in which the man. date was dodged by the European coun- tries was discouraging but neither the allies nor the league of nations showed the interest that was to be expected in upholding the rights of the new coun- try. Abandoned from the start there was not so much surprise that Armenia should drift to bolshevism or that the situation there should result in Turkey and the soviets taking control
 Now by the indicated course In that region it would appear that the taking possession of Armenia was about to be endorsed by the allies along with all the butcheries which have taken place there in the past and those which can bc con. templated for the future.
 The outlook for Armenia has been fal from bright in the past but 1t now as sumes the appearance of abject hope. lessness. Armenia Is entitled to some thing better than being left to the pitt less mercy of the Turks.

NEEpLEwoRK NOTES

Have small horseshoe magnet in your work basket fastened to the end of a tape or ribbon of sufficient length so that it can be dropped to the floor to pick up scissors or needles.
 Now is the time to plan for new curtains and cushion covers and if one fancies chintz and cretenne the more stunning designs may be pur- chased at prices very much reduced from those of the early season.
 A girl with a lean purse can af- ford to be extravagant over the mat ter of silk stockings because, though they are expensive to begin with. they last ever so long, and may be refoot- ed when the feet are worn out.
 A good way to darn run quickly is to use a raveling or a single strand of darning cotton to fill in the run with zig-zag stitch. For the first stitch bring the needle up from the under side of the material; for the next, bring it down from the upper side. Continue as long as is necessary, catching the run near the edges. Have the thread rather loose and when you have filled in the run pull 1t just enough to draw the edges together For that kind of alarming the stitches should be set about an eighth of an inch apart

WHEN You RuY sTocKINes

The mere fact that you have paid high price for a stocking does not always mean that it is going to prove satisfactory. You should be sure that 1t is exactly suited to fit your type of foot; and also suited for the sort of wear that you. are going to give it.
 The woman who is stout or tall usually has more trouble with runs in her stockings than from holes in the toes or heels. She probably does not measure her stockings when she buys them. She takes the saleswoman s word for 1t that the stocking is of good size. What might prove to be an excellent type of stocking for a small woman would be quite unsuitable for the woman who is large. An certain excellent brands of stockings always run smaller than others. When you find brand that fills your require ments stick to it.
 It is a good plan always to ask the saleswoman to examine the stockings you buy She does this by putting her hand through the stocking looking for defects in the weave. If you always did this you would not have to face the later embarrassment of finding that your stocking had run the first time you put them on.
 If you have narrow feet take the pains to find stockings that are mar row. Often seamless stockings are wider in the feet than those that have seams, and for this reason should not be selected unadvisedly by the woman with narrow feet
 Always examine personally the size mark on each pair of the stocking you buy to make sure that you are GattinG what X01I ask for.

ENDORSING JUDGE AYLING.

Commendable is the judgment that was displayed in the convention of the democratic delegates for the Norwich probate district in reaching the decision that the district has been receiving ser vice of such excellence during the years it has been served by Judge Ayling that it would be mistake to do otherwise than insure its continuance.
 The endorsement thus extended by naming him as their candidate means the appearance of his name on both tickets and ilis election. If 1t were pos sible to speak for the district it is be- lieved that that k in keeping with the desires of the people. There is no ques. tion but what the representatives of the people have skopen for them. It means the retention of an efficient and faith ful official and further supports the idea that 1t is an office which should be kept as far as possible from being made a political football.
 The judge of probate Is an official who should be chosen because of his ability to administer the duties of that office in which most everyone has business of some kind, sooner or later. Recognition VI thlS as oeCohlnS more ana more marked and what is being done in the Norwich probate district is in keeping with policy which is being followed in many probate districts in this state.
 It is of the utmost importance when vacancies do occur in a probate judge ship that the right man should be ob- tained and when such has been clearly demonstrated he should be kept there without regard to his political inclina- tions. The Norwich district continues an excellent policy

wHEN SOCKS wEAR our

Children love simple sewing tasks which they think are useful to the .grown-ups, and making floor polish CTS is a great delight to some small folk of my acquaintance. All the old socks are collected in bag, and when rainy day comes these are taken out The socks are cut down the cen ters and stitched together with big wool stitches. The polishers certain ly lack shape. but that does not in terfere with their useful qualities for polishing floors, furniture. or brass work. Stockings are treated in the same manner, and so the duster draw CT is rarely without a good stock of "rubbers'
 When children are taught to sew it should be on something which can be used. however badly it is stitched. The fact that there is some need for the work will give an added zest to it's accomplishment.

soUARELY WITH THE PRESIDENT.

It was not so many weeks ago that interest was centered on the outcome of the primary in Indiana for United States senator in which former Senator Beveridge proved successful over Sena- tor New. There were those who att tached no little significance to this be- cause of the fact that Senator New is a close friend of President Harding. and his defeat was therefore looked upon as the cropping out of an anti-administra- tion feeling, regardless of the fact that 1t was personal contest between two of Indiana's well known sons.
 Whatever efforts have been made to make political capital out of that test of strength it got nowhere It was an attempt to show that the men held op- pOsite views concerning the adrninistra- tion's program. But if there were those who had not been convinced 1t has now been set at rest by the declaration of Candidate Beveridge, who in making the keynote address for the republican con vention in Indiana took occasion to make it clearly understood that he Is not in sympathy with certain radical views which have come to the surface at widely scattered points in the mid de west, but that he Is heartily in &C., cord with President Hardins's policies and that he will, if elected, give them his full support Not only the Indiana situation but former Senator Beveridge had been misrepresented.
 Thus are the props quickly knocked from under the effort to create the n press.on that dissatisfaction prevails be. cause Senator New was not renom:. mated, when such was no more nearer the facts than in the New Jersey con test where Senator Frelinghuysen wa. renominated by . handsome majority.

Flies are a great pest in kitchen, and are carriers of disease and dirt They are accustomed to lay their eggs along window Hedges, and it is most important to keep these wiped with a cloth wrung out in water with a disinfectant in it, such as carbolic. If fly papers are used, place them flat on a high shelf do not have the unsightly things hanging up. A sim pie remedy against beetles is to sprin- kle powdered borax in their haunts, and they will soon disappear.
