Among interesting things in the news of the day in Danielson on Thurs day was the fact that Warden W. A. Burrows has been in conference with First Selectman John A. Gilbert rela- tive to relocating the watering font at the junction of Main and Reynolds danger that some motorist will collide with it at night; of Warden Burrows giving consideration to placing staff in the center of the font to bear road signs and of the possibility of putting an electric light upon the staff. Such improvements will be hailed by all, though some would go the length of re- movisg the fountain entirely, holding that it is a menace to the general health of horses that drink there and attestinS thzt there are amply water ing facilities at other points in the bor- ough and that the font really is not needed. All VIII not agree with this.

HAIR NETS AND ARMENlANs
Interesting Comparison Between Cost
Of the Former and the Clothing
Of the Latter.

The hair nets mllady wears would
clothe several orphan children in Ar
menla for more than six months. That
is, the cost of them would. Even Ar
meninn orphans are sometimes more
modest than milady.
Experts have figured that $3.50 will
completely attire in unbleaehed mus
lin garments child of the Far East
relief orphanages of the Transcauca-
sian famine zones for six months. And
/ experts also figure that milady's bill
for hair nets during u like period would
be In considerable excess of that
amount, depending upon--well, upon
several things. Hair nets are of un-
certain durability under any circum-
stances. And milady is not always
over cautious. Even an expert hest
tates to hazard some guesses.
The Near East relief has just pur-
chased 100000 yards of unbleached
muslin for summer garments for its
wards in Transcaucasia. Where Is
