MAGIC

There is little coy den up on our highest
floor:
It's right beneath the roof and far above
the city's roar;
The way to 1t Is up steep and dark ana
winding stair
It's rather difficult to reach, but jolly when
you're therel
A table and some shelves of books. some
pictures the wall;
couch--and that's (Pll tell you why) the
very best Of all;
When things are going all awry-they some-
times do, you know
come up here alone and choose where ia
most like to go.
Perhaps 1t is a Saturday all spoiled by
clouds and rain
Well, then, would it be just the thing TO ny
away to Spainl
All right, I'll go! Here's Irving's "Con-
quest" ready on the shelf;
lie and read-and soon in bright GRANADA
find myself!
Sometimes I visit Arthurs court. and join
the Table Round
Again. with Mr.. c. Columbus l am west
ward bound;
Sometimes 1t is that wonder book. the
famed Arabian Nights"
And then upon my magic couch take the
strangest flights!
And that's the secret-dont you see? I'm
sure you never guessed
That there were any such things now
enchantment and the rest!
Come up some time and try a trip-just now
I've got to go
And meet my old friend Robinson-Man
Friday, too, you know!

DEMOCRATIC MEMBER IS FOR STRAIGHT
 PROTECTION
Especial from United F

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington. May 26.-Stralght pro- lection doctrine proclaimed by a Democratic member, was a diversion in the Senate to-day. McEnery of louisiana, speaking for protective duties on lumber and sugar, and of the benefits derived by his state from these industries, said:
 ''In the fact of this showing, made possible through protection, it is time that the Democrats abandoned their absurd theory of a. tariff for revenue only and supported the interests of the United States. I would not put a tariff on sugar for revenue only be- cause of the necessity that this coun- try become independent of foreign production. Z
 With protection" the Senator de- clared. ''the sugar industry in this country would. before long. be supply ing the world. Why cruelty the people, why sacrifice them to the original sin of the so-called sugar trust? The manufacturers have right to buy sugar and refine it, provided they do not enter into a conspiracy in restraint of trade-''
 He declared that the other farmers of the country had been given assist ance9 by the government in protecting their crops from the states while the cane planter had received nothing.

Borrowing" Practice
 Bothers Merchants

The practice of borrowing" clothes and goods from stores for a period of time by dishonest customers is prac-, tice from which Bridgeport is perhaps more immune than other cities of the same size. With the opening of the spring season and the change in styles of finery there has been great out cry among the merchants against the outrage which it seems impossible to check In several of the magazines for the past few months the subject has been exhaustively treated and sev- eral of the methods by which mer- chants are attempting to protect them selves have been recounted.
 Several local merchants when inter viewed on the matter said that the trouble was not nearly so great now as in previous years since extra pre-. cautions are now taken and the mer- chants and their assistants are grad ually becoming expert in spotting the people who go to the stores and have an article charged, sent to the house where it is subsequently, used and then returned to the store as un- suitabIs.'' probably damaged from wear.
 Mems clothes are also among the borrowed garments. This applies particularly to the more unnecessary dress clothes and Prince Albert coats In several cities when these garments are sent out on approval they go with metal tag fastened on the outer sleeve by a fine soldered wire. In would be a hardened Borrower" in- deed, who would wear garment with the tag of his infamy thus promiscu- ously displayed. Men. however, do not seem to take the same delight as women in taking advantage of the merchants and consequently their garments are less "borrowed.''
 Recently a woman had charged two handsome boas, one to be returned on the following day. Both returned, one, composed of chiffon. being so badly crushed as to be unstable, and the. other in perfect condition The second boa was used blind It is in these more unnecessary articles of apparel that the borrower" often deceives the merchants, the things being so we'll cared for that they ars oflen returned without blemish.
 A gentleman connected with one of the larger department stores said this morning that it is the custom of most Bridgeport houses to give much lati tude in the matter of returning pur- chases. Practically everything is sold on the underst anding that it may be brought back if not satisfactory Some people, he said, abuse this privilege, but in the main it is not abused. Nat urally the system lends itself to s'bor- rowing and some avail themselves of the opportunity

HUNDREDS VISIT TUBERCULOSIS
 EXHIBITION
Map of Deaths from White Plague in Bridgeport Shows Fearful Ravages of Disease in Poorer Dis tricts.

Hundreds of persons visited the tu- berculosis exhibit yesterday afternoon and today. Especial attention was given by most visitors to the map of Bridgeport, in which black headed pins indicate the number of deaths from the disease in each city block during the past four years.
 The most prominent fact driven home by the exhibit is the terrible pen atty exacted of the poor by the disease. The black headed pins. telling the fa- tai story of long suffering and distress. are so dense in certain blocks in the poorer part of the city as almost to conceal the paper of the map. Nine pins are thrust into the block bounded by HaHam, Reilly, Pembroke and Hall lett streets. Other blocks in the same neighborhood show almost as many.
 The exhibition includes diagrams, pictures, and bulletins conveying much valuable information relating to the disease. Models of shacks and cot tageS used for the cure of consunlp- tives are shown. The exhibit is given under the auspices of the Fairfield County Ant-Tuberculosis Association and admission is free.
