After the magr.ifieent service he ha? rendered to France as premier dur ing the darkest periods of the war !t touM not he!p being learned with rurprise. outside of France at least, that Gecrgcs Cl.-menceau was not de Fred for president of that republic. F.xre,n on very special occasions, such es di-ring a w.ir or when it become! recesary to select a nw cabinet, the Iresidncr cf France is not much more than an honorary position, but for his work it was but natural to ex- pect that his country would have been anxious to accord him that hon or. Clemencau is a man whoso activity noes not incline to honorary Jobs. It ran bo appr?ciated therefore that those wh-j know Hm as "the Tiger" emuld not expect him to sit idlv by in the er.ty chair of the presidency. Be cause of that ana recause it was be lieved that his influence would be felt as the head of the nation even as it was while he was premier, the opposition that was manifested to h:m and his methods during the pre miership was Increased when it came to electing the president. Thus while there maybe conferred on him the t:t.e or -saviour of France" he was not desired for the presidency and the result is that he goes out of the poutica! activities of his eoun try. As president of France Desehanei, the successor of Poincare, Is emi nently fitted by his long career as a statesman. It was not his first at tempt to secure the, position but he was a dark horse in this latest con tt until the eve of the election. Ke has been particularly successful as the president . of the house of deputies and the respon sibility now falls upon him to secure a firm ministry but In the selection of Jlillerand as premier there is al ready the belief that he cannot hold tie position long. HELPING RUSSIA. Seemingly it has taken a long time to realize the necessity of fighting Bolshevism in this country, but even now while we are putting forth cer tain efforts to decrease the menace here EHhu Root, former United States senator and former secretary of state, who was at the head of the mission sent to Russia by President Wilson declares that "Russia is the place for Americans to fight and de stroy Bolshevism. "We are fiddling around here with a few bolshevik agents and the men who have gained control of old Russia by the use of German money, by the use of mercenary troops, by the exercise of a tyranny and terrorism and cTttelty never surpassed in history those men are using the -resources of that great rich country to poor out a steady stream of propagandists. who laugh at our feeble efforts. The way-to destroy beishevfsm Is to put the strength and heartiness and courage and hope of prosperity late the people of Russia who are ready themselves to destroy botekevism If they can but have the means to sup port life, and to hold themselves to gether . in the opinion- of .-theforraer, secre- tary this country has made many promises to Russia which have not been backed by deeds. Russia has been a friend to this country, ; but to day we are in default to Russia is the way he views the situation. In urging the protection of ourselves and the extension of help to Russia he believes that now is the time for the first steps in the reestablish ment of trade relations, and it is in teresting to not In this connection that the supreme council has approved recommendations to the effect that the embargo on seviet Russia be lift ed to the extent of relieving interior populations by giving them medi cine, machinery and other commodi ties in exchange for grain and flax. Apparently there is an opportunity to help Russia and strike at Bolshev ism through the same channel. MUST DRAW THE LINE.. Even though certain citi.es in eastern Massachusetts have gone from trolleys to jitneys and back again, and as the result of the un willingness of the electric road trus tees to compete with the unfair ad vantages presented by the autos compel tha street railway company to maintain service, it ought to be plain to the peonle in those cities as vell as elsewhere that if they ex pect to have service which they de sired furnished they must give it such tatrot-afte that will make it possible. Where tthe kick is justified is when thty are giving proper pat ronage and failing to get service. As might have been expected Gov ernor Coolx'rrc in reply to the ps,i tioners impresses full confidence that the public will have .j difficult !i obtaining -jh transportation fac: itics as it is willing nr..' abie to pay for. He appreciates the fact th.it more than ono method .f transpor tation may be an excellent thing for a community but hers a:j.ii i he points out the obvious fact that if it is going to have such service it must i, v fnr it r,n rtw. mhpr 1 hand if i is not possible to suprort more than one kind of transportation facilities the line will have to be drawn between trolleys and jitneys. In eastern Massachusetts a kick isi being registered because the electrics are not run. The cars are irot run because enough people do not ride in them to warrant their operation, The solution eeems to lie right in the hands of the . people themselves. Either they should be willing to pay for the jitney service to such an ex tent that it will meet their require ments or else they should see the wisdom of maintaining electric ser vice. Apparently they are not pro viding patronage enough to expect that they are going "to have both services and until they do they can not complain If the . one that cannot eke out a living quite. JOHN DODGE! Within the past year there have passed away some great captains of industries. Their names are familiar throughout the world because of the fortunes they amassed and the way in which they did it. Frequently it has been said that others are not likely to roll up as much wealth as they did and yet there is no certain ty in such statements. It is not prob able that others will rise to the rank of the country's wealthiest men through just the same channels that they did and yet it is to a certain ex tent all a matter of seeing and tak ing advantage of an opportunity. This has been disclosed by the ca reer of John Dodge, Whose untimely death occurred last week in New lork at the age of 54. Possessed of a common school education, augment ed by certain training he had received to Detroit at the age of 20 to make in his father's machine shop, he went his way in the world. Joined by his brother they were wage earners In a machine shop until 19 years aco they had enough to start a small shop of their own. They did good work and they had their difficulties but they prospered. The time came when they saw a chance to go into the au tomobile business for themselves. They made the most of their oppor tunities, did business on the policy of putting out meritorious work, and as the result of that comparatively brief period since he quit as a wage earner John Dodge piled up j$50,000,000. Where he succeeded others have failed. Where he became a multi millionaire others are still working at the bench. It all depends upon the willingness and ability to grasp and develop an opportunity. John DodgeJ, cannot fail to be included among the nation's industrial captains. EDITORIAL NOTES. Another mill for Norwich if houses are built. There's a chance for a double benefit. Windham county doesn't present a tragedy very often but when it does it usually goes the limit for frightful ness. The man . on the corner says : No straw vote will be necessary to find out what people think about January weather. Matterlinck must have reached the conclusion long before this that ail the trouble is not to be found over In Europe. With prices advancing on most all kinds of material there doesn't ap pear to be any profiteering on good intentions. Even if the war kisses in Russia are placed at 35,000,000 there is no Indication that there is going to be an immediate end to the fighting there.

LIFE AND SUGGESTIONS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Don't buy kitchen tools which will seldom be U3ed. 4 Save all waxed paper that comes into the jrttchen. thoroughly greased. A double wire broiler is the best thing for broiling. . . Use an oil polish mop for all floors except waxed ones. - Left over cereals may be used thicken soups, stews or gravies. An .excellent .breakfast .food to is browned bread crumbs and cream. In the washing of gloves, whether leather of fabric, avoid hot water. If potatoes are cooked in an iron pot they have a much better flavor. Never fiat meat into water to wash It, but wipe with a damp -cloth. When you rip an old garment, first out a few stitches with the scissors, then pin the material to your knee and rip with a sharp knife. Always keep half a lemon handy in the soap dish to use after washing your hands. Coffee tapioca is as easy to make as any other kind, and is an agreeable change. If you have several parts Or rolls of light wall paper, just try using them wrong side out. They make a very pretty tan room. THE VEGETABLE SALAD, If your family is not very fond of left-over soup, try the left-over saiaa It is just as .good a way of utilizing the odds and ends ef Ifeft-over vege tables as is soup. Of course, for si salad, the bits of vegetables must be neatly cut. For the soup pot they need not be. But for salad they must. Cut them in neat dice or in strips,, or cut them with a fancy vegetable cutter. Then, usually, the next step is to let them lie for a couple of hours in a little French dressing, on the ice, where they will become thoroughly chilled and ripened. The dressing should be made, of three parts of good salad oil and one part of vinegar or lemon juice, with any desired seasoning. Salt should always be added, and pepper of some kind. For many vegetables, a French ressing in which chopped parsley has steeped for a few hours, and then been strained out through a piece of gauze, is good. Or the parsley may be steeped Just in the vinegar or lemon juice.- Onion juice may be added to the dressing if you like the flavor of onion and there are many good cooks and eaters of salaaj who think no salad is complete with out a taste of onion. For a vegetable salad the lettuce may either be arranged with whole leaves, placed cup fashion, or else the lettuce leaves may be shredded with scissors into strips, and the strips piled neatly' in mounds on the plates. Be careful as to the - combinations you make. Tour own taste will prob ably tell you what vegetables go well together. Celery is a wholesome ad rtitioni to almost any vegetable com bination. String beans go well with diced beets, flowers of cauliflower, green peas or sliced tomatoes. Cucum ber and tomato combine well and cucumbers also go well with celery. Celery or minced green pepper may be added to potato salad. Diced car rots and -peas are a goo combination. Corn cut from the cob goes well as. a filling to hollowedout tomatoes. ABOUT POTATOES. When potatoes become old in April ftnd up to June it is wise to pare them early in the morning and let them soak in water for several hours, in order to restore moisture they have lost. The same treatment will help those that we get in July and August are ripe and are indigestible, as any green fruit would be, so never give them to children or invalids. HEALTH AND BEAUTY. Both power and rouge should be re moved at night and cold cream and the face bathed afterward with warm wat er and a pure soap, after which an other anointing with the cream should take place. A woman who had been a "light eater" all her life and who was al ways pale and wan looking was ord ered by her physician to drink a pint jof cream and a -pint of milk a day, I in addition to eating three good sized meals. In six weeks she had gained fourteen pounds and was astonished to a state of wild jubilation because her cheeks were pink and rosy for the first time in her life. For chilblanes, French druggists of ten offer a decoration of walnut leaves, which is made for the bath; after this the affected parts are rubbed with spirits of camphor and then dusted with a powder made of two and a half drams of bismuth and three and an eighth ounces of pow dered starch. A softening pomade, which is also most healing Ijr chapped f?kin, is made in this way: Cocoanut butter, one ounce; oil of sweet almonds, one ounce; oxide of zinc, one dram; borax, one dram; oil of bergamot, six' drops. Heat the cocoa butter and almond on a double boiler, and when they are thoroughly blended add the zinc and borax; stir the mixture as it cools and put in the-'bargamot last. REMOVING STAINS. The chemists of the department of agriculture have conducted a series of experiments in removing stains from various materials and the results of their efforts are summed up as fol lows: Blood and meat juice Use cold Water; soap and cold water; or starch paste. Blueing Use boiling water. Chocolate and cocoa Use borax ana com water; Dieacn it necessary. Coffee and tea (clear) Use boiling water; Dieacn is necessary. Coffee and tea (with cream) Use cold water, then boiling water; bleach ir necessary. Cream and milk Use cold water, men soap ana com water. Egg Use cold water. Fruit and fruit juices Use boiling waier; oieacn n necessary. Grass use cold water; soap and cold water; alcohol; or a bleaching ageni. Grease and oils Use French chalk blotting paper, or other absorbent; or warm water and soap; or gasoline, Denzine or car Don lecracnioriae. Iodine Use warm water and soap; alcohol; or ammonia. Ink Try cold water; then- use an acid or bleach if necessary. Iron Use oxalic acid; hydrochloric acid; salts of lemon or lemon juice ana salt. .Kerosene Use warm water and soap. Lampblack, and Boot Use kerosene benzine, chloroform, ether, gasoline or otherwise try to bleach with javelle carbon tatrach londe. Mildew If fresh, use cold water; water or potassium permanganate. Paint and varnish Use - alcohol. Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S IN THE KITCHEN carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or turpentine. Perspiration Use soap and warm water; bleach in the sun or with jav elle water or., potassium permanga nate. Shoe polish (black) Use soap and water or turpentine. Shoe polish ,( tan) Use alcohol. Sirup Use water. Stove polish Use cold water and soap or kerosene, zenzine or gasoline. -Araseline Use kerosene or turpen tine. " Water Steam or sponge the entire surface of water spotted materials. Wax Scrape off as much as pos sible. Use French chalk, blotting pa per oi oiner aDsoroent with a warm iron; or use benzine or gasoline. If color remains use alcohol or bleach. . Scorch Bleach in the sunshine or with javelle water. DICTATES OF PASHION. -Black frocks are worn merely as backgrounds for brilliant brocade vests or girdle. Many of the emart evening gowns use as trimmings large wreaths of flowers and foliage. Dainty blouses have little front and back. aprons, Shiny black satin ribbon is much used as binding. Every airy little dress has to have its touch of lace. ' , Mole waistcoats are excellent with brown velour suits. , ' Plaid umbrellas are ah agreeable change. New coat - models are frequently 'very straight and unbelted. Both dinner arid evening gowns have sleeves which are hardly more than caps. The gayest of skirts are being shown in the shops. The big side pockets are a feature. , Judging from the winter's fashion notes there are to be a good many coats with detachable capes. Some times a little fur cape is to part of a cloth coat a detachable Part, that may be put on and taken off the coat at will. DARK COLORS IN SILKS. In the realm of silks for afternoon wear almst all the dark colors, are finding acceptance, taupe and the chinchilla shades being selected for daytime clothes as are navy blues. plum and dark red. Printed chiffons are regarded, very favorably by smart dressmakers for afternoon gowns for autumn and winter. Patterned fabrics of sheer material have been so popular during the sum mer that it seems likely that their vogue will continue- into autumn. For instance, taupe crepe de chine or chif fon, figured in delicate designs in shades of dull blue, leaf, plum or flesh is exceedingly effective. Among the tones which are being selected for evening frocks are bright blue, jade, mauve and orchid. Tur quoise is another shade making a strong bid for popularity, and a soft silvery gray and a soft orange hue are also conspicuous on tire modish color card. HEAVY WOOLEN HOSE. The heavy woolen hose are being worn by Indianapolis young women with heavy leather oxfords as well as lighter weight dress shoes. The havy " English ribbed hose have a close-fitting ankle that is worm and comfortable as it is neat looking. These come in the heather mixtures and all white. COLLARS FROM DOILIES. With the present vogue for . flat biblike collars, round or square, and o'dd-shaped, drooping cuffs, comes a chance to utilize old-fashioned lace of doilies. Two doilies of equal size are requir ed for cuffs. The linen centers should be carefully ripped out' and the edge of the lace basted to the edge of the sleeve, from which it will fall in graceful, rippling folds. The collar doilie should be somewhat larger than those used for the cuffs. After the linen center is removed, de cide whether you wish the collar to fasten on the shoulder or in the back. If the doilie is round, all you have to do is to cut it in one nlace and -hem the raw edges, and it is ready to be worn open either at the side or the back. But if it Is square and the open ing is to be on one shouldrr. one side will have to be cut and faced or hem med after being fitted and a tuck taken in the opposite side to make the collar fit smoothly. Of course, if the doilie is quite large and the neck line rather low,, the 1ace need not be cut, but just worn slip over fashion, basted or pinned In place. LAUNDRY HINTS. Turn a silk glove wrong side out be fore washing. Use warm water and pure soap dis solved in a little hot water. No board should be used but the woolen should be moved constantly about the water and rubbed and squeezed between the hands. Then, it should be wrung out, rinsed thoroughly in clear, warm wa ter, wrung dry and hung up.

"YOU CAN RELY ON SHALETTS" colored ebmroideries from losing tone when washed "is to put them through bran water. 'The bran may first be boiled, the water strained off and the bran then added to the water In which the work is to be washed in the proportion of a handful to a pint of warm water, or the bran may be boiled in a bag so as to be strained by one and the same process. Fine lingerie must not be dried out of doors on a windy day that is cold enough to freeze. The combination of freezing and heating proves to much for the clothes. They freeze stiff, are beaten against one another and the line, and bread. Suchthings must be dried in the house and if a clean at tic or empty room can be used for a drying room, the task is much sim plified The windows should be open ed and the heat should be turned on, so that te air will be fresh and dry. REMNANTS OF LINEN. A new use for remnants or for dis carded breadths of narrowed linen skirts is to make pillow slips of them pillow slips designed, to cover the crryaii mnst used couch cushions. Make these slips just like ordinary pillow cases with hemstitched hems. They will give a fresh, clean, dainty effect that is often lacking when cushion covers are chosen for service in the reaction from the day9 when, to use one of the elaDorateiy em hrnidered ruffled "sofa cushions, was nnthinff shof of sacrilege. If you have enough; of one color linen make two or three covers and hoc thpwn on the cushions at one time. When these go to the laundry change to another hhade. But if you have'nt enough for more than one of a kind, choose the colors that go best to gether to use at any one time. In general shades of linen are soft and blend well. . - As for comfort nothing feels quite as cool and restful and clean as linen, and certainly no material after repeated tubbings acquires a lovelier sheen than does pura linen. CONCERNING WOMEN. In the reign of Henry III. four wo men had seats in ,the British parlia ment. . ' ' As late as 1S78 Portugal had a law forbidding widows above the age of 50 to marry. The poorest Arab woman paints her eyes with kohl to make them appear larger and more brilliant. Prenarations are going forward in England for a suitable- observance of the Florence Nightingale centenary next May. The' Toronto (Ont.) Presbytery has decided to allow women to ocupy the pulcpits and take full charge of the services on one Sunday of the year. AVOID FINGER BURNS. .Hang your tongs for handling hot fruit jars in a convenient place and use them to remove baked potatoes from the oven. No more burned fin gers. They are -fine also to remove hot corn from the water In .which It has been boiled. CEREAL CARTONS. Save your cereal cartons in which to store quart and pint cans of fruit, berries, cherries, tomatoes, etc.,' that bleach when exposed to light. The boxes keep the cans from dust and help to preserve the contents. - RECIPES. ' Baked Oranges The firmest quality of oranges should be used. Peel four oranges carefully, removing all bitter substance left after peeling the fruit, Slightly separate the sections at the top and insert three almonds in each orange. Place in a small stewpan and sprinkle well with one cup of sugar, add water as for baked apples, and bake in a slow oven for one hour to one hour and a half to prevent burn ing. Serve hot, using half a cup of marshmallow dressing. i . Christmas Dreams Prepare small rounds of bread toast delicately and butter on both sides. Have prepared one cream cheese, softened and rub bed smooth with one dessertspoon of cream and one dessertspoon of vine gar. Chop one sweet pepper, half red and half green;-mix with the cream cheese. Spread rather thickly on the rounds of toast and place in a hot oven for five minutes. Serve hot or cold. These are much liked and eas ily made. Stories That Recall Other Needed the Short One. The head of the family was invar tably lengthy in saying grace at the dinner table. The children expected It and had been taught to be very rev erent during that period. In the ab sence of the father the mother, was accustomed to be brief possibly as a reward for their good behavior when father was home. But the other day when they came to the table very hungry indeed, there before them was a plate of fried chicken and a large lemon pie. "Father took his place and looked around to see that all hands were folded and all heads bowed. They were and he was just preparing to bow his when six-year-old Bobby said In an agon izing tone: "Qh, mother, don't you Dyers Gowns, Gloves suppose you could say grace today even it father is nome ' Just Right. Having been on a visit near the Ma son and Dixon line a profess onal man was presented a small botUe of whis key. He didn't like the smell of it and in fact couldn't have tised it any way, so disposed of it uy giving It to a colored fellow who had been doing some work about the place.- It was a day or two before the man showed up again but when . he dm he was asked how he liked the whiskey. "Jes' right, boss," said the former plantation worker. "It was jes' exact ly right. Ef it had been any better you wouldn't have gave it to me and ef it had been any worse I couldn't hive drunk, it." LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Doctor Not Admitting Guilt. Mr. Editor: As counsel for Dr. At chison we wish to call your attention to an article published in your issue Of Jan! 14,' 1920, concerning the doc tor's case now pending in the super ior court. This article was so worded, that one unacquainted with" the legal signifi cance of the proposed disposition of the case might conclude that Dr. At chison was admitting guilt in the mat ter. Such is not the fact, Dr. Atchi son has and floes deny all guilt in connection with the same, and would never consent to any disposition of the case that would impute any guilt to mm. we reel it our duty to our client and the public to call attention to this. The truth is that Dr. Atchison from beginning to end would never consider a plea, of guilty, and has insisted upon tha establishment of his innocence by trial. The proposed disposition of the case has been entirely at the instance or the subscribers, his atorneys. WILLIAM A. KING. THOMAS M. SHIELDS. JOHN H. BARNES. Norwich, Jan. 17, 1920. Answer Was Obvious. air; n-aitor: Just a word and I am through with, the "One who voted for Bryan." I d.d not write with. the ob ject of having a discussion with any one, much less a man. who is afraid to come out in the open and give his name. I will briefly note a few things which he says in his last letter. He tries to make an issue of the question of whether I approve of Bryan's break with Wilson. This I replied to in my own way and supposed my answer was obvious to any intelligent reader. He says after much fencing I left the question unanswered. I can only say that if he had only stretched his ima gination as much to find; my meaning as he has the truth to say the ques tion remains unanswered, he would not be repeating a question about one of the deadest of dead issues. He uses the mask of "One who vot ed for Bryan" to call men like Lodge and Borah "things." Who is this man that hides behind a fenc throwing stones at decent people as they pass by? He goes on to give his version of Bryan's first break with Wilson and tells us, according to his thought, what Germany thought of us. giving as a reason for Germany thinking as she did that we as a nation were di vided into two contending parties the' executive being democratic and the legislative republican which is not true in regard to the legislative, ss the legislative only became repub lican in November 1918. But at the time of which he speaks, Mr. Roose velt and General Wood were thunder ing at the administration to prepare. Mr. Lodge from his seat in the senate. Mr. Gardiner of Massachusetts in' the house, and other patriotic men throughout the country were sounding the alarm, and It was not untl nress and people were boiling over that the democratic administration could be forced to move. , On account of the delay In prepara tion, the war has cost us more than double what It might have cost., con sequently wn have to pay double the taxes and this adds to the high co-t of living, and this-is only one of the bUmders of a blundering administra tion. No wonder the "one who voted for Bryan" is ashamed to come out in the open. Thanking you. Mr. Editor, for your courtesy, I bid the man with the mask adieu. "JOUN M'WILLIAMS. Norwich, Jan. 17, 1920.
