S. Greims, Branchville, Conn. One package of books from “An Ally.” hteen tennis racquets from Messrs. Alex. Taylor & Co. Busy Connecticut ONNECTICUT is busy; very, very busy. In normal times they make some war material in Connecticut. In. these times they make everything for war. The State is strong in brass factories. Imagine a brass factory this year and what it must be making! But it is very much so with the other factories. If there is a buckle factory it will be making buckles for rifle straps or fastenings for soldiers’ leg- gings; if it is a watch factory it will Pp ee AT LIFE'S FARM LONDON BRIDGE probably be making watch-works for time fuses; if it is a corset factory it will be adapting itself to bomb-cases, and, of course, all the wooden-nutmeg factories are making shrapnel. If there is a factory in Connecticut that is not making war material, it is work- ing overtime to try to take care of jobs the war-material factories have had to throw out. Waterbury. Bridge- port, New Haven, Hartford—they are all in the war. THE papers reported that on July fifth Mr. Bryan addressed one hundred and twenty-two thousand peo- ple on universal peace at the fair- grounds at San Francisco. Surely that is better for Mr. Bryan than to be cooped up in Washington and have to say, “Please go way,” 1o reporters. / ANTICS Tut, Tut! If the struggle of women for the vote lasts much longer it will en- gender bitterness between men and women which will take many years to overcome. —Crystal Eastman Benedict HAT would be bad, very had. Why not quit struggling, Crystal? However, there need not be any bitterness between the women who don’t want the vote and the men who don’t want them to have it. Nor does a serious falling out between the male and female suffragists seem immi- nent. That pares down the impending hitterness quite a bit. How queer those people are who think, as Madame Crystal thinks she does, of men and women as separate parties! As though votes or the lack of votes would ever separate whom Nature has joined! 2 comicbooks.com
