Diet Hint

Water should be drunk freely,
especially during warm weather.
The placing of ice in water is
to be deplored, however, al
though it is a deep rooted
American custom. The excess
sive cold invariably chillS the
stomach and interfereS with
proper digestion. Water may
be taken cool but never should
it be cold. In fact, warm wa
ter is the best of all although
it is not palatable.

Facial


Question: I've been told that
a cucumber mask is one OF the
most cooling and refreshing
facials that can be admins
tered during the hot weather.
1 know, of course, that this
mask also has bleaching prop
critics, but that's Okay with me.
For l want to keep my lily.
white skin this season anyway.
Could you tell me how to ad-
minister a cucumber mask?
S. r.
Answer: The cucumber mask
is indeed refreshing one,
and is also an excellent bleach.
Take the peel of a cucumber
and place it in cup of water.
Add a bit of the juice of the
cucumber and the juice of a
lemon to the water. Before ap,
plying the mask, cleanse your
face thoroughly. Then lie down
and arrange the cucumber peel
on your face in the form of a
mask. Next take a soft cloth
and dip it into the solution in
the cup. Wiring out the cloth
a bit, and place it over the
face, patting it into contact
with your skin. If you bind a
bit of tape under your chin and
over your head, it will help 10
hold the mask in position.

Within the Dream

Within the Dream
In truth, know I cannot mold
Life's ways to my desire;
But could you know the hopes
I hold,
My visions flower and fire!
Could you but glimpse the love-
illness
Which is my goal and guide,
Like shine and sheen of April's
dress,
Like sunset on the tide;
You, too, would then forget the
care,
The burden of the day
Could you in this rich dover
share
OF glory'S hidden way!
The world, perhaps, must laugh
at me,
The dreamer passing by,
With spirit drenched in ecstasy
And rapt, unseeing eye.
But though 1 know I cannot
mold
Earths ways to my desire.
dwell within the dreams hold,
My visions flower and fire!

Dear Mrs, Beeckman:

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
A short while ago I received
a letter from a very dear friend
of mine telling me that she was
going to be married within a
few months time. Wishing to
reply to her letter, I am at a
loss to know what to say. I
wonder if you could help me?
Your column is of much in
tereSt to me, and I have re-
ceived many very helpful point
erS." Sue.
I couldn't tell you, dear Sue,
exactly what to say, for this
would depend on your own feel
ings, but in general you would,
of course, tell her of your de-
lighted in receiving her news,
and of your high-hearted wish
for her happiness. You would
say devoted things about your
friendship for her, and about
your deep and loving interest
in her life and future happi-
ness. If you know her fiance.
you would, too, write apprecia-
tive things about him and his
good fortune" in winning her.
Thanks for Good Wishes
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I have recently become en-
gagged and I am receiving a
number of letters and kilograms
of congratulations. Is it neces-
Sary to acknowledge these?
Yes. Write a gracious and ap-
preciative note to each of these
kind friends, thanking for the
thoughtfulness and for the
good wishes. And write them as
promptly as possible, so that,
in your acknowledgment, you
catch the glow of your delight
in receiving the message.

at the request of several of his colleagues.
 We will pass this economy bill with votes to spare and next will take the legalization of beer" the senate leader said.
 Despite bitter opposition, no evil dence of filibuster has developed.
 That is the hopeful thing about this situation," Harrison told ques- tioners. There is no evidence that anyone wants unduly to delay this economy bill. It is our duty to pass it and quickly"
 Senator McCarran, dem, Nev, a gray-haired newcomer to the sen- ate, offered amendments which he said would effect a 25 per cent re- duction in all pensions and veter- ans compensation. American Le- zion authorities now are publicly advocatig 25 per cent cut, point ing out that the democratic na- tional platform promised to reduce national expenses by that percent age.
 But democratic leaders are de- termined to slash from $383,0OO,- 900 to $400.00O,000 from the ag- gregate of more than $900,0O0,ON0 annually appropriated for yeter- ans.
 Senate Majority Leader Robin- son said after the caucus that the democrats had bound themselves to support the credit of the United States but that no action was talk en barring the amendments of the bill."
 
 Senator McGill, dem.. Kan. re- vealed that quite a number" of senators had announced in the caucus that they would not bind themselves to vote for the bill without notifications in it.
 The effect of the latitude given democratic senators is uncertain. It would appear that a series of amendments might nibble away the proposed economies. The house Saturday passed the bill exactly as approved by Mir. Roosevelt.

chants today visited the banks and obtained generous amounts of cur rency and change to accommodate their customers and this time with the happy realization that their favorite bank would be open and ready to serve them in any and every capacity.
 Ut is remarkable" commented Lewis s. Reed, executive vice. president of the Citizens & Man. ufacturers' National bank today ito observe the feeling of good natured confidence on the part of the public. It has been surprising to note the number of people com- ing into the bank to make de- posits and to exchange cheery greetings with the employees Ev- erything has turned out well and I am very happy that we as well as the other banks of the city are in a position to serve the public" Similar sentiments were expressed by Fletcher w. Judson, president of the Waterbury National bank.
 As a matter of fact comments are hardly necessary today. A visit to any bank would reveal cond1- tions as described by MT Reed.
 The staffs of bank employees sim ply reflected the feelings of the merchants who have been hard pressed for cash to continue re- ceiving checks and making change for their customers. Depositors anxious to make withdrawals for the purpose of satisfying some urgent need were also elated. Restrictions of course were placed on the withdrawal of sav- ings deposits, not as 8 matter of necessity to conserve any supply of ready money, for all banks are exceptionally well prepared, but as safeguard against any rash act of persons taking their life earnings and exposing themselves to the risk of being robbed or film -fammed. Ten dollar with drawals from savings accounts were given on request. Checks were honored on their face value. Business checks were rushed through following the usual pro- cedure.
 The restrictions as outlined were
 ordered by the secretary of the U.
 s. treasury. Every bank in the
 country hasfbeen instructed to ob-
 serve them. They are not of local
 origin, but exceptions are permiss-
 ible to meet any emergency. A
 banker has the privilege of mak-
 ing ruling on learning the nature
 of the request.
 l It is expected that the Big B."
 Chase's, Scovill's and the American
 Brass company, will again issue
 checks of small denominations as
 they did last week which will be very convenient, but not neces-
 sary for the employees.
 Merchants of the city reported 1 that business today indicated a big
 increase owing to the fact that
 hundreds who have been denying themselves felt free today to make purchases. Within a day or two affairs will be running normally and everything pointing to an en- joyment of happy days" again. The resumption of business to- day by all the banks, commercial and savings. federal reserve mem- bers and state institutions, came about in rather interesting way.

William M. Harris, chairman of the Mutual Aid Unemployment Fund stated today that the pay roll for tho unemployed in Water bury would be met in full tomor- row, regardless of the deep shrink age in the receipts for last week. This spikes the reports making the rounds that the unemployment fund would be discontinued tenn porarily.
 At a meeting of the fund com mittee yesterday afternoon it was decided to continue the operation of the unemployment relief sys- tenn in Waterbury the same as be- fore. Mir. Harris pointed out that a number of corporations and bus mess houses in the city neglected to send in their weekly contribu- tions. due perhaps to the furry

ness of the state banking system.
 Hundreds of stories of splendid cooperation are being told now. During an exciting, anxious hour last week when a number of em- ployes of a local factory were waiting word about checks being cashed arrangements were made through the courtesy of Dennis J. Scannel of the W. T. Grant com pany whereby one of the officials proceeded to the New York office of the firm and returned with am- pie cash to meet the payroll on time. It was a friendly act of CO., operation which helped out in an emergency and an instance where one local firm was ready to inter- cede for another.

caused by the closing of the banks. He thought the matter was perhaps overlooked.
 Mir. Harris stated today that he was in the hope that those who failed to send in contributions last week would double up this week, so that the payrolls would be met without any great difficulty.
 At yesterdays meeting, MT. Harris reported that there are 1884 persons on the payroll at the present time. In addition to this, he said, 425 persons are being fed and housed at St. Johns parish house and the Chase compares barracks. One hundred and ninety five persons are otherwise being cared for, making a total of 2,504 persons depending on the unem- ploymelt fund, it was reported.

drawn up in the treasury and will be issued shortly.
 About all I can tell you Is that to-day Is continuing the fine record of yesterday so far as the banking situation is concerned. The people Have been cooperating with us Ifagnificently. I am beginning to believe a superstitution I have long maintained-that is that 13 is my lucky number. Everywhere 1t is Indicated that the era of fear that Was so manifest before the bank ing holiday has completely passed. People are using the reopened banks as banks were intended to be used-as a convenience in pay ing their bills and safeguarding their funds. Deposits continue to equal or exceed withdrawals. In other words, the country under stands what the administration is doing and is showing its confidence
 -and that means everything.
 "I am sorry that I am not able to answer questions at this time there are too many things in the Formative stage for me to discuss Everything you would like to know r-so you will have to be satisfied for the present by my statement that everything is moving along satisfactorily and that the clouds are evaporating one by one.
 'In little while, the stress of the present will have passed, and U will have time to talk to you more freely and, I hope more fre- quently."
 ss The McAdoo depositors' indem- s11fty bill, together with all other sproposed bank guarantee legisla- Uon, was referred to-day to the Glass subcommittee, before which is bending the bank reform bill sponsored by Senator Glass, dem, va.
 M The Glass bill, which was killed in house committee at the last session, apparently will be the basis for democratic permanent bank reform legislation. It was in- Adicated all bills of this type would be referred to the same sub-com- e1hittee.
 A resolution sponsored by sen- sator Bulkley, dem, o, to facilitate emergency bank reorganization was also given favorable report. Il sproyides that in. state where pre- ferred bank stock is subject to double liability, banks desiring to feorganize may issue capital notes and debentures.

Hartford, March 13-The annual greenhouse tour under the auspices of the Connecticut Vegetable Crow CTS association will be held Sat urday, March IS. beginning at 1880 o'clock from the farm of Hans Christensen in Windsor. This tour is of statewide interest but the actual greenhouses to be inspected arc all located in the town of Windsor, making it possible to in- spect a wide assortment of indus tries in an afternoon.
 Prof. A. E. Wilkinson, Frank Roberts, J. c. Jensen and Chris Petersen have been working as a committee. to make this a most in- teresting tour. Those who parti- cipate will have an opportunity of inspecting structures of different types and see how the men in the Windsor district grow and handle their plants, especially early varie- ties. While this tour is planned primarily for vegetable growers any one interested is invited to at- tend. &

 The house passed a bill today that will affect every town in the state where voting machines or ballots are used. Under provisions of the measure only one space will henceforth be provided on ballots or machines for presidential elec- tors. There were eight spaces pro- vided for these electors at last November's election.
 With only thirty spaces provided on our standard voting machines and ballot slips the addition of new offices, not to mention referen- dums, seriously cramped space. In the future the presidential electors will be grouped under one name, probably that of the presidential candidate of the party or under his name and that of the vice-presi- dential candidate. There is no need of "cutting" presidential candi- dates, so criticism cannot be di- rected at the proposed change on this ground.
 The senate rejected a bill today that would have affected the Wa. terbury court of common pleas. The bill provided that the common pleas court of Litchfield county be placed on an equal basis with that county's superior court. This would have given the Litchfield court of common pleas Jurisdiction over the Litchfield county towns now in the Jurisdiction of the Waterbury
