'GILPATRIC PLANS
 PLEAS OF GUILTY
Will Admit Some Charges and
 Deny Others
THEREFORE ASKS DELAY
Case Has Been Postponed from Monday to Thursday to Give Him Chance to Change Plcadings-His Health Much Improved

Hartford, Oct. 3.--Former State Treasurer G. Harold Gilpatric plead guilty to some of the counts charged against hlm in the tndict- ment returned by federal grand jury, but will plead not guilty t. other counts in which he Is charge with misapplication of certain futes of the First National bank of Put nam of which he was cashier. This was one of the reasons advanced by Attorney William King of Willi- mantle in asking Judge Edwin S. Thomas in the U. S, District court Thursday for a continuance of the case.
 Has Admitted Some. Gilpatric had been ordered to ap- pear in the federal court at New Haven on Monday, October 6 for plea to the indictment. It was re- lated by Attorney King that when a copy of the indictment had been fur nished him he waited on Gilpatric fors the purpose of checking up on the 39 counts alleged in the indict- ment. He told the court that Gill patric had admitted some of the transactions alleged in the indict- ment but had declared his inno- cence in respect to others. A com. plete checking on all the counts al legged in the indictment has not vel been made, Gilpatric having wearied in the effort he made to supply his counsel with the information and il was necessary to suspend for the time being.
 More Time Granted.
 Judge Thomas was inclined to al low additional time for the purpose of ascertaining which counts Gil patric would plead not guilty to ant reassigned the case for receiving Gilpatric's plea to Thursday, Octo Der g, at o'clock. MT. King sait Gilpatric was now sufficiently stront to appear in court to plead, but wa not quite strong enough to mak two trips to New Haven, and tn fdelayed date would make it possiol to plead and receive sentence at til same time.
 Mir. King did not intimate whic of the counts alleged against Gilpat ric would be admitted, and to whic he would plead not guilty. This in formation in all probability will no be disclosed until the plea is" for mally made.
 Two Other "Deals"
 It was learned today that tw transactions In which Gilpatric alleged to have figured were nc presented to the grand jury for in clusion in the indictment, and thes | of course will have no part in th case when it Is presented next weel One of these is said to concern note claimed to have been paid a man now dead, and for which II credit was given by Gilpatric a cashier of the First National ban , of Putnam.

DECLINE IN LAVISH TIPS
Public Is Not As Generous As It USet
 Tn Ra Pullman Rnrfers Saw

Public Is Not As Generous As It Used
 To Be, Pullman POrters Say
 When Pullman porters meet in idle moments, as they do at the Pullman Porters' home in the Bronx or at the barracks of the Pullman company at Sunnsyside, l.. l., they are likely to fall to talking about tops, and they are sure to say that the public gives small CT tips today than it gave 25 years ago.
 One porter reported sadly the other day that he had carried a party of F passengers from Richmond, Va, to Jersey City with a net profit to him of 63 cents, three cents of which he found. Another porter told of caring for a mother and three small and thirsty children on a trip of 24 hours and receiving a quarter for his minis trations. He calculated that he would have had 90 cents, at least, if the father of the children had been along.
 Porters say they get the best tips on southren lines used by Cubans. The largest tip ever recorded in Pullman circles came from a citizen of Havana When brushed off at the end of his journey he handed the porter a $50 bill and bade him keep the change. But that was eight years ago. Middle westerners, too, are inclined to be liberal in tipping, the porters say, but New Englanders are retentive of their money. Men are more lavish than women. Every porter says he knows women who, after a transcontinental journey, will cautiously part with a dime.-New York Times.

Sour Milk Very
 U eful In Summer
no NOT waste the sour milk that D accumulates during the warm
 weather

kO NUT WaSCe tne sour mllk tHat accumulates during the warm
 weather.
 If you do not care to bake mullins or cake with it you can use it for making the ice cream, and it makes most delicious summer griddle cakes. When it becomes thick you can con- vert it into cheese that is nourishing as we'll as a cooling food.
 It is a good liver tonic and makes satisfying meal on hot day when served as "bonny clabber" accompanied by potatoes boiled in their jackets.
 If thoroughly shaken or beaten with fork or break the curd, you will get beverage very much like buttermilk.
 Physicians who have experimented with sour milk pronounce it a health full tonic drink. We have often been told that sour milk is conducive to long life and now one doctor asserts that his experiments proved to him that the longevity of the Bulgarians is due to their large consumption of sour milk.
 Sour milk will whiten fabrics that have become yellow. It will freshen salt meats and fish. If the ice is low you can keep fresh meat nicely by covering with sour milk and changing 1t often. Among beauty hints sour milk Is recommended as an excellent complexion zeautifier. So why waste anything so useful?

1t don't do as she says she does it herself. She told me the living room curtains needed washing and I explain ed that l intended to have them done later when the house is cleaned.

Jimmie"
 'Too bad about me 1. Well, if she stays over Sunday we oan4take her for long drive and that will give you a rest. Genevieye. shan't mind if she devotes most of her attention to me-
 "It's your turn, Jimmie" laughed Mrs. Warren, and when Cousin Sadie began on Sunday morning to tell the best way to wash the car Mrs. Warren maintained calm repose that she had not been able to reach earlier while packing the lunch according to her wis., itor's most minute directions. Warren behaved with admirable suavity and said every time he received suggestion that it was a good idea or that he had never thought of that.
 The drive went merrily with Cousin Sadie in the front seat with Warren, and Jamesy in the back seat with his mother, until late in the morning a flat tire brought them to a stop.
 "Genevieve," ordered Warren sternly, you and Cousin Sadie walk up on that hill over there and look at the view while James helps me change this tire. I'll honk when we're ready to start"
 Mrs. Warren obediently dragged away the reluctant Cousin Sadie, who shout ed back few suggestions as she climb ed the hill. That evening Mrs. Warren innocently asked her husband what was the grand idea of making them mount the hill to look at swamp.
 ''You know mighty well, my dear, that if that she-cousin of yours had stayed by to boss the job should have cussed before we got the tire on."
 "Why, Jimmie Warren, I'm shocked and surprised at you"
 You are not" was Warren's laconic rejoindef, and this time his wife did the prinning

 Well, hurry!" Raggedy Andy said.
 My! You fooled him fine!" Rag gedy Ann said. "We must hide now so that MT. Gooly does not see us, for if he does, that will spoil all our plans. So the Raggedys and Walter ran to-

 As soon as Mir. Gooly hopped from the duck boat the duck boat sailed up in the air above Mir. Gooly's head "Now then. have escaped from you !'' the duck boat said, land I shall sail away and hunt Raggedy Ann and be- long to her!"
 "Ha, ha, hal! M4. Gooly laughed You will not find Raggedy Ann, for she is shut up in MT. Sanky,s house here, and I shall see that she does not escape"

 Instinctively Marian's fingers closed on his. Without a word she gazed into the compassionate eyes. Then
 Thank you for telling mel" she whispered. "I will try to be brave."
 He drew her hand through his arm as he accompanied her down the long platform to the train, the porter, carry ing her bag, preceding the pair. Parker bent his head so that his words reached the girls ears above the noises in the station.

She will take care of the few effects I left with her until my re- turn-but she is to rent my room to anybody else who may want it-for my plans are so indefinite"
 They had reached the Pullman in which was her seat, and Parker entered with her. When he had tipped the porter she opened her purse.
 How much do owe you for my tickets and everything?" she asked.
 "I will let you know later" he said q promise to keep memorandum of it. Just now you may need your ready money. "Good-bye" as the warning of departure sounded.
 He took her hands in his and held them fast for a moment. His eyes gazed down into hers with an expres- sion that said more than words could.
 God bless you!" he whispered. My heart will be with you every moment my very dear!'

 Let us cut the telephone wires and talk over them so that Mir. Gooly will think it is Mir. Sanky talking, then we will ask Mir. Gooly to run over to Mir. Sankys right away. Then we will res cue the wood duck boat and all fly away from here!" :

 The Civil war produced very many more good songs than the World war did. In fact, the World war may be said tWhave produced no songs of its own at all, except, perhaps, Where Do We Go From Here?" The marching songs of the British and French, 'Tipperary" and ''Madelon," had nothing to do with the war in their origin: But in the Civil war-what a musical harvest The production of war songs, beginning with "John Browns Body"-a great tune and going on quickly with

 Fire had perfect fascination for my youngest boy was greatly wor- ried by his trying to get hold of matches, and realized that the for bidden element of fire appealed strongly to him. I told him that if he would promise never to light fire alone, I would allow him to light the gas for me whenever be was in the kitchen. Often, too, I had small bonfires for him when burned trash and papers. He lost the feel ing that he must steal these privi- leges, and his interest in the mystery of fire waned rapidly.

We Women
A Voice In The Past

'
 COME time ago I received a letter - from a young man who complained
 that he didn't ever want his wife to help him, and that before he was married it would have to be distinctly understood that his wife would have to mind her own business. My core spondent was very blunt about it. His argument was that he felt pretty con- fident of being able to take care of himself and his business affairs and that in his mind his wife-in case he should find one who would measure up to his specifications-shoul confine her activities to her own offices and head quarters. These, he said, should be her kitchen and nursery. .t
 I have since received a number of letters from women who attacked this young mans viewpoint and denounced it as a reflection of selfishness of men in general. Now have a letter from an other man who writes along the same lines. He happens to be married and, of course, his viewpoint is different from that of my unmarried correspon- dent. He says that out of all fairness a woman should not be required to help her husband.
 II do not" he writes, want my wife to help me. I don't think she

Helpful Cousin Sadie

ELT DON'T believe I can stand il much longer, Jimmy" remarked Mrs. Warren when her guest had gone to bed.
 Stand what, Genevieve?" asked Warren.
 Cousin Sadie's visit. She, is weary ing me horribly. Did you ever in youI life hear anybody chatter so while play ing bridge as she did tonight?'a Pool James received more instruction iron her in three hours than you and; I to gether would give him in three months:9
 Perhaps we are neglecting our sins, said Warren.
 Perhaps you think it's funny, Jim mic, but if you had it all day every day you wouldn't see much humor in it.'
 "Oh, we'll, my dear, don't take it SC hard. It's about the only exercise ths old girl gets. Don't let Cousin Sadie disturb you. You can't stop the flow oi her conversation, but you can be obliv ious to it. She doesn't bother me at all I simply don't pay any attention tc what she says"
 "Yes, have noticed that and so has Cousin Sadie, She said to me this morning that she feared you were growing little hard of hearing. I as. sured her you were not, but she insisted that. I should tell you to have your ears examined She says Great Uncle Tim's deafness came on at middle age too."
 "'Middle age, too Whats the grand idea?"
 T see you do pay attention to some of her remarks. She says if you're not losing your hearing, you are certainly terribly absent-minded. She suggested psychopathic test"
 Warren. grinned dryly and Mrs. War ren continued: "She supervises every. thing I do, from mending rent in Jamesy's golf knickers to writing my club report. She knows some better way to do everything that I do. She won't let me percolate the coffee any more. She says we don't get the full value if we don't boil it fifteen min ] utes."

We have heard our grandmothers tell of the good old days when they used to spend hours meltingsand mold ing odd bits of soap into cakes. We up-to-date homemakers have no time for that, but we want to utilize the stray bits just the same, so we put all the little pieces of toilet soap into a cheesecloth bag and use it for the bath, just as one used the bran bag. The kitchen soap we handle in the same way and have the bag hanging in a convenient place near the sink, where we may. use the soap bag to make a good, thick father for our dish water. <.
