SAVING STATE. POWER
FOR PRIVATE INTERESTS

Some time ago Governor Trnmbuli
received L letter from Governor
Tircho: of Pennsylvania suggesting
cha. a survey OF the Connecticut
power situation be made. The Penn.
sylvania governor sent a similar let.
ter 10 q large number OF governors,
possibly all OF them. the underlying
idea being 10 determine just how
much latent water power there was
IN the country, how it was being de-
veloped, whether it was being hand
ed over 10 private interests 10 eX-
plot, or whether the states in any
number were taking steps to curb
the practical seizure OF an important
public resource.
Governor Trumbull, evidently not
being In entire sympathy with tho
object OF the Pennsylvania governor.
and possibly not wishing TO offend
The states chief power magnate, j.
Henry Roraback, quietly pigeon
holed the letter; at least, he stimu-
lated no action upon such an i'm
nortant matter as conserving one Of
the states chief resources. its po
teutial electric power.
Small wonder, perhaps, Anyone
suggesting that the public keep an
eye upon It's power resources. so that
they do not go altogether the way
much Of it already has gone. is per-
soma non srata az the state house.
If the capital at Hartford in these
years stands for any one definite
thing, it is ''let alone" policy for
power grabbers.
Propaganda OF a rather subtle
quality has been set afoot TO dis
credit any attempt to make a sur
vey OF the states natural resources.
The propaganda is simple and is
meant for mple-minded souls--of
which there are plenitude.
This propaganda has it that a
survey Of power resources and natur-
al resources generally means q
move o develop the resources of the
state by the state, instead Of private
capital.
Another angle OF the propaganda
would have it that such a survey
would result in putting the state
into business.
OF course, the state is already in
the business of giving away power
sites, and has been in that business
ever since j. Henry began working
/ or milking the state. But this isn't
regarded a. real business. but mere.
! ~ good business for ]. Henry.
! 1t would be terrible thing to put
the state in the business Of looking
/ ont for its power resources and see
| ing tina. they continued to belong tc
! the common people instead of TO the
| power interests. Prevent the state
| from becoming too particular as 70
what becomes OF its power sites. let
them be given TO private interests
represented by J. Henry, and let the
public be the exploited instead Of
| the owners. That's the method being
followed. Small wonder that the
governor did not act upon the
| Pinchot letter. The governor belong!
10 the Roraback machine and moth
ing will he done to question thu
beneficient henevolcnce of THU
| politico- power combination.

GAINS IN TIE COT NCH
BY THE DEMOCRATS

It is one OF the significant
.eatures OF American politics that
the Democrats in Republican
state or city can usually show gains
during an off-year election; that Is
one reason why the grand old
party managers would like to
eliminate these pestiferous supple
n!eutary elections, which give to the
Democrats all opportunity to add to
iaair holdings in local government
machinery.
These off-year campaigns, how
/yer, in many respects reflect
more truthful picture o. local po-
Ii.ical sentiment than when local
elections are mixed up with state
elections or national elections. a
presidential election year is milk
and honey for every Republican
candidate, and those unable to fly
TO safety hanging to the tail OF the
national kite during such a timv are
inconsequcntial political mites in
deed II is during the of-year, when
candidates cannot hug the national
issues or lean upon the state Or
ganization, that voters are left free
TO exercise better judgment, dis
pensing their favors at the polls
strictly upon local issues.
Such a bona-fide disposal OF po-
Hlcal favors took place in New
Britain yesterday and resulted IN
interesting results. The chief result
vas that the Democratic party OF
this city gained two seats in the
Common Council, giving them a
membership o. ten emDa'tled JEFF
tersonians; meanwhile. the Repub-
iican man power in the Council
was reduced to 20 members, or just
twice as many rs the Democrats can
muster. From this it can be Judged
that the grand old party in the
Common Council is not in danger of
being swamped as yet: but all the
same. party managers hate 10 drop
any seats, even when they have Il
fortaDle-surplus.
1t is significant that the Demo-
rats NOW have swept TWO complete
wards. adding the fifth 10 the sixth,
the latter Tor some time having
tunctioned as the sure-lire Demo-
cratic STRONGHOLD in this city.

Expert Cooks and Amateurs.
BY LYDIA LIZ BARON WALKER.

Ii Is not enough TO he accurate about
part OF the ingredients. All must
have the same care, or proportions
are wrong and results poor.
Table Measuring Spoon.
For the table sugar spoon con.
tinues to be a measuring spoon. and
so should not be too large a shell, j"
as il is also called. Unless loaf sugar
is used for coffee and tea, the size OF
the spoon determines the sweetness
of the beverage. For instance, the
customary one or two SpoonfulS OF
sugar may be too much if a big shell
is used. Yet a person invariably esti-
mates by the number of spoonfuls.
one, two, or sometimes three, for
coffee or tea. Too big a shell causes
waste.
Measuring Utensils.
To insure correct proportions, al
ways use graduated measuring cups
and spoons. 1t is well TO select the
cups that hold more than one cupful,
though that mark is definitely RIM
med on the cup, as we'll as the other
proportions. One that holds precisely
one cupful is not SO easy to manage,
for liquids are apt to spill If the cup
is jostled ever so little. Some meaSur-
ing spoons come in sets attached by a
ring; the smallest holds one'quarter
spoonful, the middle one one-half, ana
the third exactly a spoonful. 1t Il
well to have two sets of spoons ana
two measuring cups, one for dry and
the other for liquid measurements. II
is a nuisance to have 10 stop and
wash and dry a cup after using it for
a liquid in order to measure dry
ingredients. and you cannot always
measure all of one kind and then all
of the other when compromising a
recipe.
Recipes Now Accurate.
In recipes of today measurements
are given with punctilious care and
not so vaguely as once. Spoonfuls
mean level ones unless specified as
heaping or rounded. A pinch of salt
means what can be held between the
thumb and foref1nger, and this occa-
sionally Is named. but generally one
eighth teaspoon is given instead. After
making a recipe a cook often uses 1t
as a basis, altering it slightly to suit
her own ideas, but she still adheres
to correct, If differently compounded,
proportions For instance, If vanilla
fiavoring is preferred to almond, more
is required to flavor the cake, pudding,
or whatever is being made. Such 6
change does not alter other ingredi-
ents, for the quantity is trifiing.

Clues to Character
Speaking Lines.
BY ]. O. ABERNETHY.

When the stork leaves a baby at our
house it's face is smooth and express
sionless. But as it takes on years the
expression changes-that is, If it is
going to have much character. Lines
begin to form as the individuals char
acter is molding.
The smooth, shining face of an adult
resembles that of baby and generally
is accompanied by infantile character
istics, because thought and feeling
leave their impress upon the face of
every one. If there's no thought, no
feeling, no marked characteristics,
then there will be no lines in the face.
An unlined adult face is a clue to alb
sence of reflection, intelligence and
feeling.
Deep lines are indicative of prolong-
ed thinking and study. Wrinkles or
lines form on the chin, the cheeks,
about the lips. the sides and root of
the nose, between the eyebrows and
upon the forehead. The takers wrin-
kle is found in the lower region of the
cheek, outward from the corners of
the mouth. 1t extends from a short
distance above the corners of the
mouth and slightly outward and runs
down under the chin from side to side.
These lines are formed by constant
use of certain muscles needed in
talking.

The Stay-at-Home

The sad little girls who. because OF
mothers death or illness, have TO stay
at home and do without the pleasures
of school or business make me W'sH
| could comfort them.
They tell me that their pleasures
are few-their dates practically mr.
because they're unable TO get out III
the world and meet friends.
What chance have they TO meet the
right kind of man friends-or attract
these when they do meet them
What chance have they, anyway,
against the free, independent young
girl who's running around town con,
tinually--who knows how to talk ana
dance and play bridge.
Every stay-at home girl gets my
sympathy but she must be told that
her case isn't quite as hopeless as II
sounds.
Granted that she has a hard time
meeting the right sort of friends
there is usually provided by kind
fate some opportunity for meeting
them.
The stay.at,home's trouble is that
once having met a boy she'd ike 10
know~-She grows so respondent over
her inner conviction that he can't pos
Sibly like a domestic mouse like her
she just doesn't try.
Whereas. if she would only put the
thoughts of her disadvantages out OF
her head, she'd be more likely to make
hit with the young beau.
Let the stay-at-home take heart and
set about winning the affection of all
the friends she'd like to make.
Let her keep that home she has to
| look after in the most spOtleSS order
| but let her keep the atmosphere as
| merry and informal as may be.
Let her give as many pleasant,
friendly little parties as she cares to
and let them all display her good
| taste and ability as a hostess.
Let her not grow dispirited and un-
| happy because she thinks the world
is rushing past her.
Out in the world there are plenty of
girls, continually dashing from one
| party to the other. who are not pro-
| crossing any farther than she is--who
are not capable of attracting any more
| men than she Is.
The stay-athome must conquer her
inferiority complex and get to work
making her home and herself as at
tractive as possible.
She will probably have time to keep
up with things If she makes regular
| practice of reading-books and new
| magazines and the daily paper.
She can learn what to talk about
just as easily In her own home as she
| could out in the busy world.
She can learn how to talk to young
people by inviting them into her home
| and giving them a royal good time.
She can make her home a perfect
setting for very attractive young
person-and this gives her an advan-
| tage over many a girl whose parents
| enforce strict rules and insist on an
| atmosphere of rigid formality in
| the home.
The stay-at-home has a lot of things
| her own way, If she'll only throw off
| her mood Of black despair and realize
wherein she's lucky.
