Berlin in First Place As Rcd Hot Political War Zone

lhcu 11OI IOItlIdl war AoIiC
 For piping hot campaigns, where every wire is pulled and bitterness is allowed free play, championships in all classes must so to the town of Berlin.
 Judging by the excitement caused by the proposal to spend s125, ,0OO on an addition to the present gram mar school or erect new building in another location, the Bcrlincsc take their affairs seriously. Noth- ing that has quite equallcd the dis turbancc in that town during the past two or three weeks has ever been noted in the history of the community.
 Agitators for one plan or another have been burning up their nervous energy during the past fortnight arguing for the scheme which, in their opinion, was best suited to the needs of the town. Business and household duties were almost for gotten while men and women en- gagged in violent debates on the merits of tho proposals to build an addition or a new building. If the grocer boy was late in delivering or ders it was probably because he was too busy advocating the plan which he thought deserved support. If the biscuits burned up in the oven or dinner was late it was probably because the women of Berlin. who arc famous cooks, overlooked such trfes as the familys desire to cat three times day and on the minute and spent their waking moments i'll heated rgumcntation on the school question.
 Berlinese who visit New Britain regularly let their friends in this city know how the campaign was against the corn borer, which promises 10 cost Berlin farmers a pretty penny unless lifted, was pushed into the background. The school question was uppermost ir the minds of everyone and nothing was permitted to interfere with dis cussing the pros and cons.
 From this distance it seemed that the women voters became more eX- cited than the bland males, and the latter were aroused enough, as anyone who spent an hour in the town recently can testify. Which makes us wonder what has become of the fellow who opposed the adop- ton of the 19th amendment be- cause "shucks. women won't bother to vote even If they get the privi- leGc.' He should have seen the women marching to the Berlin polls this week, each grimly determined to register her views.
 There is no tonic better for q lethargic community, be it large ol small. than first class politica ruckus. It uuickcns the sense ot civic responsibility, educates tho and teaches him a great deal about the place he lives in and its leaders When q. populace gets fighting mad over a political issue. the community aNakcs and blood that has beer sluggish begins to course through the veins
 Berlin, apparently, needs no tonic The city dweller may think it is backwoodSy, but it takes q keen in. torest in itself and in it's develop mCnt.

Conscience Tortured
 Soldier Settles Dent

Washington, March 1 (UP)- The conscience fund of the Unit cd States treasury is $50 larger today because of an unnamed former soldier in Colorado who cifclosed the amount in q letter to the war department, which explained:
 While in the service during l919-20, I stole equipment and clothing to the amount of about s5O.' Since that time God has wonderfully saved mo and l am going back over my tracks and making every wrong right that l possibly can.'

New York, Mar. Big depart mcnt stores and specially shops are capitalizing telephone courtesy. Mumbling, stcrcotypcd greetings arc entirely passc. Customers have grown tired of hearing Jess q min utc' and then dangling on the oth- CT end of the phone.
 Today when a patron telephones there is q chccry answer of "R H. Maccy Co. - Good morning." or Carticr's-Good afternoon" as the case may be. The voice is pleasant and vibrant with interest. and as Il result in a few months time there was q marked increase in orders.
 Mercantile establishment discov- cred telephone orders were falling off and traced it to the indif -rence of receiving operators. Patrons were turning to neishborhood shops, preferring to walk d few blocks for purchases to unsatsfac- tory results over phone.
 One of the big stores on the ave- nuc brought about the revolution. It engaged q staff of sixteen care fully selected girls and put them through six weeks of intensive training. The chief idea Of the crcdo was that no purchase was too small 10 receive attention.

 Traffic congestion has given an added impetus to telephone sales and proprictors, recognizing this, are paying higher wages to such employees. In some instances q per ccntagc system has been installed. And the whole experiment has been q pleasing revelation in the Navlc 1 or good manners,

Blending Is An Art.

terday." he pursued the subject
dolefully. II had a beautifully served
luncheon mt a smart restaurant. The
main dish was a shrimp salad.
shrimp II delicious. but its flavor is
very mild. and one cannot serve Il
with every kind OF vegetable with
out endangering the loss OF flavor.
One should not ever put pepper on
shrimp. as II Is too powerful. "A dash
OF curry Is sufficient seasoning and
not so strong as to overwhelm the
shrimp. But this particular salad
OF shrimp was recognizable only TO
completely dominated by the other
ingredients. which consisted OF a
strong mayonaise. some capers. and.
will you believe IL. many slices OF
pineapple. which has perhaps the
most pronounced flavor OK all native
fruits"
As a matter OF fact. the blending
OF flavors Is the superlative art IN
cookery. It's not to be learned
from books alone. Partly it's a gift.
and partly IL comes from cUnscien-
tious experiment and careful obser-
walton.
But the average -housekeeper with
a liberal assortment of spices on her
shelves and acces TO fresh vege-
table markets. can create for her
self any number OF original and dlf-
