Editorial Correspondence
STONINGTON, Conn., Aug.
and there is a touch of fall in the air. A rain laden sou'easter
over the week-end, cleared the muggy atmosphere, the sun is
shining brightly in a clear, blue
weeks vacation for a couple of
choly task of bidding them farewell was enacted at the little
Stonington station last night, a brave show of merriment and
good cheer was attempted, but it wasn't very convincing, and
the trek back to a cold Sunday supper was decidedly funereal.
The young people left behind, have a week or two left, before
they have to pack up and return to school, but the fact that
summer is over can't be denied, and today it hangs heavily
over the entire community, for when all is said and done sum
mer for youth, is the gayest and happiest time of the year.
.....
Your correspondent has a strong suspicion these colonial
furniture auction sales are a well organized racket. The older
girls don't think so, and we wouldn't dare suggest such a thing
outloud, if we were not reasonably sure, we WOULD be two
thousand miles nearer the Pacific ocean, when the copy of the
M. T. containing this statement, finally reaches the Stonington
P. 0. We have enough to bear as it is without taking on the
New England association of auctioneers, and their loyal and
satisfied clients. Moreover we have no 'evidence to sustain
such an indictment. It's just a hunch. And while any member
of the deadlier sex has a perfect right to play a hunch, backed
up by table stakes, no mere man better try it, if he values
what is left of his epidermis and his amour prope.
Oh, yes, we know some of them are held in grange halls, and
the glib, wise-cracking auctioneer, has a fine line of tnlk about
the articles coming from the old family homestead in Vermont,
heirlooms of priceless value, which must bo turned into cash
to keep tho wolf from the door, and of course look at. the
bargains the older girls get, a painted tin tray going for $5
when it would cost $15 on Madison Avenue in New York yes
we know all that nevertheless
auctioneering business is a racket, and only proves for the
steenth time, that old P. T, Bnrnum of Bridgeport, Connecticut
was right. For every real bargain that is secured we maintain
there are a hundred large sized
insatiable feminine gambling'instinct and if men are allowed
to play slot machines in their clubs, why shouldn't tho Indies
be allowed to attend auction sales in the grange hulls of New
England. Why nott Tho only answer to that is they will
anyway, until in tho course of time, both rackets play out.
And the older gals do enjoy it so much, it would be a
shame to have a cold-blooded appraisal of the value of the
articles and spoil their sport.
There was Mrs. B over at Mystic on Saturday for example.
The auctioneer was offering a couple of colonial salts and
peppers, which came from the old Wolcott mansion in Massa
chusetts. Just as they reached $7.50 the boys at the other end
of the platform were unrolling a colorful and very antique
hook rug, for tho edification of certain prospective customers.
"Seven fifity, seven fifity, do I hear eight" shouted the auc
tioneer, Mrs. B looked up from her knitting and murmured
"eight." .
"Sold for eight the lndy in the rear sold for eight."
One of the boys promptly transported the salts and peppers
to Mrs. B who agnin looked up from her knitting, looked at the
purchase, cast a frightened glance in the direction of the plat
form and cried "Oh I thought I was bidding on the hooked
nig!"
Too latel A sale's a sale. And what a joke on Mrs. B,
material for a nice little story on mama for ten or fifteen years
at least.
Then there was Mrs. C who with her kindly and economic
roynlistio aunt had looked over the articles before the auction
started. Mrs. C just adored a certain bowl small, cheap and
oh, very, very antique Tho bowl finally enmo up nnd Mrs. C
who had become separated from nimly bid $2 as a start. Some
one else bid $2.50, "Three dollars" chirped Mrs. C. The same
someone else made it $3.50. "Three-fifty, three-fifty, three
fifty, going for thrco-fifty, do I hear $J" Mrs. C hesitated,
should she or shouldn't she it
that, yet she thought sho would be able to get it for less,
but her fighting spirit had been aroused, she had started
something why not finish it, "4"
Four dollars sold for four dollars, to Mrs C.
When Mrs 0 and aunty met later, aunty remarked she tried
to get that howl for her darling niece, but she simply refused to
pay more than $3.50 for it.
Tableaux!
Aunty, dear old soul, had been bidding against nieeey, and
forced her to pay $J for something she could have gotten for
not more than $2.50, if aunty had just kept out of it.
If this sounds a trifle phoney you have never attended one
of these New England auction sales. . Even strnnger things
might be related, but enough perhaps so you can see the point.
Racket or no racket it is SUCH FUN! And they serve
luncheon very cheap, and one can knit and talk v talk, and if
you don't like what you have
conflict, well you can put it up at the next auction and not
lose more than 20 or 25 percent !
What is a loss of 20 or 25 percent when George, the old
hypocrite, at the country club
put another $3 in the slot machine without cashiug in a cent!
"A-al right, A-a-al right", but girls will bo girls and boys
will be boys, but this colonial auction business IS a racket !

DIABETES AND ALCOHOL
Some time ago my husband wrote
to you about his diabetes. He was
very grateful for your reply. He has
ureat respect for
your views . . '.
Prom now on,
though, he will
not think so
much of my
views. Seldom
knew It to fall . .
would you
please tell me
what effect
drinking has on
any one with dia
betes. My hus
band lives up to
the doctor's or
ders and Is very faithful In every
thing relating to diet and Insulin
treatment, but thinks whiskey Is
good for him, although he doesn't
take any beer on account of the
sugar In It. I fear he la drinking too
much. One or two drinks may be all
right, but he takes much more than
that. I am sure he will follow your
advice. (Mrs. D. W.)
Formerly, In the "starvation" or
fasting treatment, from one to two
ounces of whiskey, brandy, rum or
gin were sometimes prescribed to fur
lnsh some calories (about 200 calo
ries in the burning of the alcohol and
two ounces of one of the liquors
named), but the prnctlce was dis
carded when It was found that alco
hol produces a return of sugar In the
urine when taken In quantities ex
cccdlng the patient's caloric toler
ance. For good reasons, physicians skilled
In the management of diabetes sel
dom prescribe or permit the patient
to take alcohol. It Is likely to bring
on protracted alcoholic neuritis. Pa
tients with such a chronic disease
am likely to contract a dangerous
habit. If a dlbnetea patient who hap
pens to have taken a drink or two
suffers either Insulin shock or diabetic
coma bystanders arc likely to mis
take his condition for Intoxication
which might mean fatal neglect. Fin
ally. In everyday practice It seems
that patients get along best without
alcohol.

Stop That Slouching
My older sister, who is an actress,
and now my dressmaker, tells me I'll
never get anywhere because I am so
slouchy. I guess I have a bad habit
of slumping down. I don't know
why, for I have always had excellent
health. ... . (Miss R. O. R.)

Low Temperature
What Is cause of temperature con
stantly below normal? I never find
it above 97.4, more often around 97.
(M. C. B.)
Answer. Inaccurate thermometer,
most likely. Hypothyroidism common
ly accounts for subnormal tempera
ture. Advise you to give thermome
ter to physician or nurse or throw It
in ash can.
Iron Rust
The municipal water here Is very
rusty. Water department has flushed
out hydrant repeatedly, without cor
recting trouble. Is It harmful to
drink such water? It tastes all riitht.
How about using It for flushing or
syringing out sinus? (M. E. E.)
Answer. It Is harmless for drink
ing, so far as the Iron rust is con
cerned. Better use distilled water,
rain water or spring water for Irri
gating sinus.
