A Wife's Confessional
 Adele Garrisons Phase REVELATIONS OF A WIFE

soon found that Lillian had spoken but the truth when she told me was to do as much work as herself upon the translation into code of the apparently meaningless Jargon contained on the card Steve" had dropped. It was te- dious and a lengthy task, for as Lillian pointed out, there must be no chance of a mistake in d single letter. If the contents of the card turned out 10 be lists of figures. as we suspected. single error might throw the whole reckoning out.
 l watched her narrowly as we worked. for I greatly feared the ef- feet upon her of such close atten- tion to the task as she was giving. But to my surprise and relief, she appeared more animated-and more rested-at the end of the task than she had done at Its commencement. It was as If work of the kind she loved held some mysterious element which poured healing into her veins.
 "There!" she said at last, looking up brightly as we checked the last line of letters upon the card and its translation upon the sheet which contained the telegram to Allen Drake. This thing Is fool-proof at last. Are you too tired to type this telegram, with couple of carbon copies, right away"
 Her voice held the sollcitude which is always hers for everybody save herself, and I laughed 8 bit ironically as rose from my chair.
 Tired" I repeated. T should be ashamed even to spell the word when l see you looking so bright after this performance"
 Its been like tonic to me-" she said earnestly.
 Look Out for Reaction"
 T believe you" I returned. But look out for the reaction"
 There ain't going to be no core to this apple" she quoted with g little laugh. but her eyes fixed them, selves upon her portable typewriter unused since her illness, and I real. ized that she counted every second wasted which was not used in com. pleting the task we had set our selves.
 Here's hoping" I answered as crossed the room and took the ma chine from its case. When I hat put 1t in shape for work I reached for the papers which we had jus completed but Lillian held then away from me.
 "I'll dictate them to you" she said, The other way would bt

 Wilmot rose to his feet and made as if to go. but MT. Samuel Honey bun stayed him with a gesture.

 "No. sir, and you had better not know where l am living" was the reply. There may be kind inquiries after me. I shan't be far away, though, and if run short of money l may look you up some night after dark"
 "Whatever you need" responded Mir. Honeybun. "1n reason," he hastened 10 qualify the rashly un- conditional promise.

 "Of course" said Peter, quite as if that were the thing he would do under the same circumstances.
 Billy Mink laughed right out. "To hear you talk, Peter" said he. "one would think that is just what you would do under the circum- stances and yon know very well that all you would do would be to squeai and kick. Jerry Muskrat doesn't look for trouble, but when he meets it he stands up to it, He may be frightened half 10 death, but no one would know it from watching him. I have seen him scare people much bigger than himself. No, Peter, I certainly am not looking for a fight with Jerry Muskrat.
 I'm glad 10 hear it." said Peter. Jerry admitted to me that you are the one he fears most because you can follow him wherever he goes. I guess he feels about you the way feel about your cousin Shadow the Weasel. Just thinking of Shadow takes all the fight out of me"
 Again Billy Mink chuckled. Well, you can be pretty sure, Peter" said he, "that thinking about me doesn't take the fight out of Jerry Muskrat. It puts fight in him. No, as l said before, Jerry needn't be afraid of me now. I haven't the smallest de- sire in the world 10 bother him. There are plenty of fish and If one is spry there is a young bird now and then for change of fare. That reminds me, Battles the kinghsher should have a family by this tims.

Nothing gives quite so much relief to a person suffering Ssm fatigue as a good hot bath
 At first the warmth of the water has a stimulating effect. The super fcial capilarles dilate promptly, the circulation Is quickened, perspira- ton Is excited. the skin easily parts with its worn-out layers, the stiff ened and wearied muscles relax,

BAD FOREST FIRES

oNtI M oN
 Berlin, July 25 P'-serious for est, moor and heath fires are re- ported from various parts of Prus- sia. They are spreading steadily. owing to the drought and efforts by troops and tlremen to put out the flames have met with little success. Fifteen thousand acres of forest are af1ame around Rathenow, Havel- berg and Standal, and ccmmunica- tions between these places are in- terrupted.
 The villages of Karsthal Kletg and Steckelsdorf had to be hurriedly evacuated by their inhabitants who were unable to save even personal belongings because the fire was rap- idly encircling them. Many thou sands of acres of heath also Is afire in the districts of Burgdorf and Neustadt.

Some Of the larger cities Of Con-
ncc'icut appear 10 be bothered with

smaller adjoining towns. Hart ford,

that the reason therefore is the

larger cities Of the state. Waterbury
and New Britain are The only ones
that are credited with not suffering
from this malady to any extent. A
writer in the Bridgeport Telegram
pays Now Britain the compliment
that it has not gone into sufficient
public expenditures to force an
exodus of prospective home-oWners
in order TO avoid sharing in meeting
the bills, Which perhaps is another
way OF saying that New Britain has
been economically administered
compared with numerous other
cities in the state.

1t is noteworthy that the person
mel of the new state commission to

choice Of membership. Especial in
terest in the commission lies in the
fact that a New Britain man is

Senator Frederic C. Walcott of Nor
folk, president Of the state board
OF fisheries and game. DIR. Walter

field Of pathology and bacteriology,
is the other member.
This commission has been grant
ed very large powers TO clean the

are deeply interested in methods to
improve the public health by
eliminating stream pollution. while

ness man who will lend the practi-
cal viewpoint.

OUR MORE POLITE
POLITICS

NJ p, Senncssy, political writer
on the Boston Globe, paused In his
handling OF the Boston mayoralty
contest to write Tary OF past po-
litical battles In Boston aud came to
the conclusion that the present day
style Of political campaigning is
mild as water compared with the
bitterness and personalities OF the
good old days.
Which Is not only the fact in
Boston, but in every city. And If
anything, 1t is an improvement. The
day when every politician dealt in
invectives rather than issues, when
street fights over elcctioneerlng
were common. when political organ
izations sought to control the voting
by honest means or foul-gcncrally
tho latter-is past. We don't miss
the loss, either.
But in one thing there has been
no improvement. Fewer people vote
nowadays compared with the total
Of eligible voters. No way has been
found to change this condition. IT
can scarcely be denied that the gain
in the character of most political
campaigns has been offset by the
lessening In voting power.

THE STATE BARRIERS
AND THE NEW BOARD

The law establishing a state board
Of hair dressers and cosmcticians
does not contain any clause making
it necessary for BARRIERS to separate
their barber shops and beauty par
Tors. The members of the new state
board evidently themselves made
the ruling. In fact, section II of the
new law seems to be clear that per-
sons holding a license under the
provisions OF chapter 1853 of the
general statutes are not affected by
the new law. (Chapter 1873 creates
the board of barber examiners and
creates the rules governing the
separation Of barber shops).
The state board of hair dressers
and cosmeticians, however, disput es
all these points. which seem clear
enough TO the attorneys represent
ing the BARRIERS.
The state board, noting its re-
cent ruling is being iloutcd, dignines
the ruling by calling it law" A
ruling made by a state board does
not have the force Of law unless the
board acted within It's legal bounds
when it made the rule.
The state BARRIERS are acting with
in their rights in ignoring the rul-
ing Of the new board. If the board
is willing to bring the matter 10 q
head let il order the arrest of q
barber Chargnge violation of its
meddlosomc rule, and then let the
state courts decide. 1t win be time
for the BARRIERS 10 act differently
after the decision, should it 90
against them.

DIRECTING TRAFFIC
WITH MACHINERY

The Board of Police Commission
ers is said to be highly pleased with
the workings of the automatic traf-
fic signals installed at the Center
and at Main and East Main. AL
though 1t is assumed that no deci-
sion has as yet been arrived at as
to which particular make of signals
experimental with are the most
satisfactory. the principle of auto
matte traffic control is said to meet
with considerable approval by the
board. All of which may lead to
the conclusion that some kind OF
automatic control, along the lines
as those being experimental with,
will become a permanent thing in
the city.
Rumors from various sources that
the board hasn't enough of an ap-
preparation TO buy such equipment
seems erroneous. The board has
money TO spend for traffic control
and seems bent upon taking advan-
tage of the situation. We are not
running the police board and the
officials on it are the doctors who
will have the final say. There is
evidence that they have been OK
perimenting carefully and noting
how the traffic control works. There
nave been some criticisms and some
commentator. and the public as
spmes the board is conversant with
the pros and cons. Authentic in
ormatiOn is TO the effect that the
noard considers the weight of OBJ
~eryation to be in favor of institute
tng the automatic traffic control
system.
Some Improvements are needed
for those at the center, due TO the
peculiar lay Of The land. The police
hoard has been attempting to get

would not accept a system without
