SHEEP INDUSTRY
 NEARLY WIPED OUT
Came Close to AnnihilaiOn Dur. ing Recent Imitation Period

l Chicago, Sept 2a,-Five years will ' be required to overcome the effects of the recent collapse in the sheep in-
 iustry according to survey made | public here today by the National h. sttute of Progressive Farming i How close the sheep industry in this country came to annihilation dur ing the inf1aton period is not realized by the general public,'' stated the survey. Tt was all but wiped out 1 Imported rams were butchered and sold as meat owing to the collapse of the market" There is a mad scramble to get back into the business now that the market has returned to a stable level, the survey states, and herds which al- most disappeared are being revived,
 The supply of breeding stock, sheep association officials say. is the lowest in twenty years and the demand for such stock on the Pacific coast is the greatest seen in double that time. Texas. Idaho, Wyoming and Montana also report large demand.
 Tn the corn belt where the maize crops can be fed to three dollar nut ton, the pfopleIi is ,o 'iid 'iic ioiiip"' declares the survey. Tt appears that higher price for fat lambs will pre-
 vail this fall, despite the present al titude.
 "1he institute believes that wool growing should be conducted as a side line rather than as an essential indus try Sheep men are in the habit Of virtually ceasing business when the wool market is against them, and then slowly working back when the tide turns.

FRESHMEN AS COMEDIANS.

New York. Sept, 29.-Traffic on BIoadway was halted for a time yes terday morning and crowds lined the
 sidewalks as 1000 Columbia men
 engaged in the annual freshman sophomore scraps at the Morningside
 Heights college. Under the eager guidance of the sophs, led by Edward Byrne, the newcomers were decorat- ed with iodine and shoe backing. and with their coats inside out and trous- CTS rolled above their knees were made to push pennies across Broad way with their noses.
 The freshman hazing marked the opening of the college year at Co., lumbia, more than 400 of the enter ing men were herded together on their way to class and marched around the campus and down Broad way by their traditional enemies. Many fights occurred, and policemen, at loss to keep order. discreetly turned their backs. Several trolley cars and a fleet of 26 taxicabs were by the freshmen in an effort to escape from the hazers.

FIREMAN AND BROWN.

Two important conventions were held In eastern Connecticut on Saturday and in keeping with the expectations of the people the two incumbents for the offices for which nominations were to be made ware renamed by exclamation. That in dicates the degree of satisfaction that exists relative to the services which they have performed in behalf of their con stituents and certainly augurs well for the election.
 The Second congressional district, em- hracing as it does the four counties in the east end of the state, is a most i'm portant division of the commonwealth. There Is a wide variety of interests in- voived They are entitled to proper rep resentation in the national legislature end they have been receiving 1t during the several terms that Congressman Freeman has been in Washington He has not only demonstrated his fitne 9. tor the office but he has gained a val uabie experience which Is certain to bt of steadily increasing value to his dis. trict. If verAcation of that were nee sSsary 1t was certainly furnished at tht congressional convention when he wal nominated by exclamation by those re publican delegates who represented every town within the four counties, ant the choice Is unquestionably one tha will be endorsed by the voters in genera at the coming election.
 Nothing appeals to the people like !; successful administration of public trust. For the past IT years Sheriff Sid ney A. Brown has been high sheriff O New London county. an office to whicl he has given conscientious service an, filled with great credit to the county, tn, ofiee and himself.

there are still great quantities of 1t used by those who obtain 1t illegally. All kinds of schemes for evading the law are encountered. Smugglers are attrac- ed by the handsome returns and become desperate In their determination to get rid of the stuff in violation of the law The human wreckage that is directly attributed to the use of dope only seems to spur them on to greater effort as if it was worthy accomplishment to en- mesh others and to hasten those already trapped to the scrapheap.
 The capture of those in possession Of half million dollars worth of narcotics doesn't by any means insure the end of the practice. It helps to impress up ,n others that the enforcement of the law Is not entirely forgotten. but each and every instance of the kind points out the need for greater effort.

A JUSTIFIED WAR.

Taking narcotic drugs of a value of I500,0o when considered in connection ~ith street vending purposes strikes an- other blow at the illicit drug traffic in New York city, and a tranic that in- wolves not only the metropolis but ap- psrently many cities throughout the country.
 Fighting the dope peddlers must con tinue relentlessly. New York is only one of many centers where those who know inc large sums which the drug 6snds will pay for the habit forming narcotics are prepared to get every cent the business will stand. How they get it CT what the results of their participa- ton in such sales are certain to be makes no difference to the traders. Their sole object Is to make big hauls and the mora of the drugs they can dispose of the better It pleases them.

FOR JAW AND nRnrR.

The granting of the nationwide tenn porsry injunction against the striking railroad shopmen means that the action taken by the attorney general in the federal court for the support of law and order has been sustained. It was nec- sssary for the government to prove to the satisfaction of the court that con ditions existed which warranted such an order. That was done. From time to time strike leaders have urged that no violence be used. but, said John wilker- son in his decision. Notwithstanding the admonition of the leaders of the combination to use peaceful means only, the real situation at most of the places where the strike was in progress was that employees were insuhed, assaulted and otherwise intimidated. The work of the peaceful picket spoken in the vi- cinity of the shop was emphasized in the darkness of night by the club and the pistol Of the unknown party Regard less of the instructions that no injury must be inflicted upon property, there was sabotage on a large scale. Engines cars and equipment were tempered with and innumerable actions of maliciou: mischief committed which endanger~i the lives of both passengers and those operating trains"
 Such a finding ls In keeping with tn, reports which came from various cen ters where there was an apparent deter nination to deny others the right f, work and to take lives when 1t was con Hdered that by so doing the cause O the strikers would be advanced
 The fact that avoidance of violenc had been urged does not make 1t DOS sibls to view the acts committed, fin tn opinion Of the court, "in any othe light than as done in furtherance of ; common purpose and as part of a com mon plan

Making pretty kitchen is not nec- essarily expensive, although if certain essentials do not exist money should be spent for paint at least. Most of all making the kitchen attractive de- bends upon suitable color scheme White Is nearly always dainty, but is objected to by many because it in wolves frequent scrubbing to keep spotless. All white-that is, both walls and woodwork can be both glaring and monotenous also.
 Cream, buff, pale green and even blue woodwork. not to mention tan or gray, if not too drab shade can be floors and curtains help out the color scheme A two tone effect can be ex- ceedingly attractive; thus tan wood work is further frightened by buff tinted walls. The floor, whether painted or linoleum covered, also aids the color scheme. Dark brown, for example, would tone in with the buff and tan kitchen.

HEALTH AND BEAUTY

While spending as much time as possible out of doors during the holi- days, one often forgets that the con tinual wearing of hat Is not good for the head. Let your hair get as much air and sunlight as possible, and when you have an opportunity let 1t fall unconfined down your back.
 For improving the general condi- ton of the hair the bob is said to be the most beneficial thing Many women who do not care for bobbed hair are having their hair cut shoul- der length, just long enough to do up under net. Beauty specialists also recommend sun baths and letting the hair hang as much as possible. A glass of cold water taken on rising is very beneficial in clearing the com plexion, while few morning exercises before putting on the corset aid greatly in giving tone to the system. Every one needs exercise, and the more sedentary ones work the more exercise is needed It is absolutely essential tc take one. walk daily for the heaIth's sake.
 Food and diet also play an important role in health. Overlooking the stom- ach, eating too many sweets or highly. spiced dishes are all unhealthy ant produce indigestion and sometime.
 worse ailments. Too hot food, again
 is bad, and "gulping" down ice drink or glasses of milk should be avoided
 Always sip drinks. especially icet ones.

ROWING TO TURKEY.

Peace seems to be the dominant fea- ture in connection with the near east trouble at the present time. From such action as has been taken and such rep resentataons made to Kemal Pasha he seems to have good reason to feel that he has with the assistance of certain of them brought the allies to his way of thinking. In other words confronted with the fact that the Turks are in a fighting mood and prepared to get about what they want there is a division among the allies against excluding them from Europe any longer, with the pres. ent indications that they will regain eastern Thrace with Constantinople and Adrianople. That will mean Turks on both sides of the internationalized Dar- danelles. It is impossible to regard the representations to the Kemaiists other wise than saying. '1nasmuch as you have the trumps we will yield in the in- terest of peace"
 But will the admitting of the Turks to Europe again mean peace in that re- zion? It was for the benefit of Europe nent that the unspeakable Turk was Silul OIL Dy HlnSoiI III ASid MlnOr. he has succeeded in breaking the unity oi those holding such views and it is diff cult to believe that his return to Eu- rope will be any more peaceful for his neighbors than was his exclusion in Asia Minor. Likewise having strengthened himself on the west as well as the east side of the neutral zone along the wa terway, can it be expected that he vii long submit to any other than sucL con. trol as he wants there, or as he ant soviet Russia dictate?
 The near east problem has developed to it's present size through negligence Even now there is greater unwilling ness than ever to handle it withou gloves. The Turk having gotten the up per hand the chance of his contributin, to peace in that region until he has got ten all that he wants seems unlikely Settlements now in the name of peac give promise of only postponing troubl
 instead of obtaining a permanent ad 5ustment. It Is great day for the Rem

REMOVING STAINS.

Clean white kid slippers with any mild soap and sprinkle them with tal- cum powder. When dry, rub off with soft cloth. This makes them retain that new look.
 Yellow spots on clothing are often due to acid. Try immersing them in weak solution of ammonia-and warm water.
 A few drops of turpentine added to the rinsing water when washing white silk hose, underwear, skirts, etc, pre- vents them from turning yellow.
 To clean fur collars and cuffs, rub thoroughly with corn-meal soaked in gasoline.
 To remove auto and car grease from any wash goods, before wetting, rub the spot with lard This loosens the grease and 1t will wash out easily Also lard can be used on woolen goods then washed out with gasoline with q blotter under the spot. This is splendid for mems Palm Beach suits. The white braid on blue woolen mid dies may be cleaned by sponging witt 8 solution of white soap. Press, ant the middy will look like new.

We all, some time or other, suffer from sleeplessness. Worry, anticipa- tion of the morrow, and exciting thoughts of the past day. all drive sleep from the eyes and should be put right out of the mind
 Going to bed really tired after a day in the open air with plenty of ex- ercise is the best antidote of all, but in the ordinary course of events, when you turn and toss in vain, it may be that your room lacks ventilation and needs good airing, or that the bed clothing is too heavy for comfort, or too light
 Always have the bedroom windows open during the night. Screens, nicely adjusted. will protect the sleepers from draughts.
 If you feel too warm get up, throw back the bed clothes to air the bed, and stand for a few seconds at the open window, thoroughly well wrapped up against chills, of course. You will return to bed refreshed. On the other hand, cold feet, and feeling of chilli ness keep sleep away, and in this case a hot-water bottle at the bottom oi the bed will soon engender a delight full sensation of comfort, and we'll being inducing slumber With warm Ing the bed before getting into 1t, sieer Will come much quicker.
