PRICES OF AUTOMOBILES
WILL BE LOWER.
So Says DR.. J. M. Griffin of Detroit,
the Mecca of Automobile Man.
ufacturers.

That the automobile prices are COM
ing down and will go still lower. lust
as did the bicycle, was the assertion
OF DR.. J. M. Griffin, a noted dermato-
logist of Detroit, and who has been
spending his vacation in the far west.
Doctor and Mrs. Griffin came here
from their way back from the Grand
Canon where the skin specialist took
on enough tan to require the services
of one of his specially.
Il have heard great deal of talk
in the west and in the far west about
the price of automobiles" said Doctor
Griffin this morning at the Palace no,
| tel, "and the probable effect of Mr.
! Morgan's trust on the prices. |, for
one, living as | do in Detroit where
more automobiles are made than in
any other city in the world or, in
all the cities of the world put togeth-
er, do not believe for an instant that
a trust is going to put up the prices
of motoring. Why, in Detroit we feel
that there is something wrong if a
million dollar automobile merger is
not effected every day.
you know, as well as I do. that a
few years ago a good auto cost $4,000
or more and that today splendid
machine can be bought for $1,000, or
less. The auto manufacturers are
turning out machines with a frenzy
and the time is bound to come, and
very soon, when there will be more
machines on the market than are GUS
toners in it. It was the same with
, the bicycle, the price of which was
cut in half and into thirds and then
quarters, after few years.
Il do not see how an automobile
trust is going to control the market
for there are constantly new self pro-
pelling devices coming out and they
are Independent of the trusts that
have already been formed. One
grand automobile trust may look very
we'll on paper but fail to see how it
would restrain trade Or keep up the
prices of machines considering the
ease with which they are manufac-
tured"
Doctor Griffin is believer in the
Pastor Wagner theory of a SIMPLER
life today and said he takes usually
four short vacations each year. In
this way he keeps from impairing his
faculties in over work. With him he
! takes a fine camera and photographs
scenes on all his trips. These he
keeps in series and when he gets
home he keeps young by looking over
! the views. He has taken many pic
lures in this city and surrounding
country which he declared blessed by
nature in a remarkable degree.
Commenting on the large number of
persons in the far west who show
the marks of small pox the dermato-
logist said that as quarantine reguIa-
tions become effective and their value
more and more appreciated, Doctor
Osler's declaration that a pock mark
ed person in the east has become al
most a freak, will hold good else
where. The physician was greatly
amused at the story printed in the
New Mexican about magistrate dis
missing peremptorily colored prison
er charged with assault when he told
the judge he had just spent a few
days in pest house. Il don't won

ssNAPOLEON | AND
 HIS EMPIRE"
SUBJECT OF REV. MIR. FRANCES DISCOURSE BEFORE ALLIANCE
 FRANCHISE.

The third lecture of the Alliance F'rancaise was held last evening at the Stratfield. The lecturer was the Rev. Jean Cyril France and his sub ject Napoleon I and his Empire.''
 This is a subject forever young, forever fascinating. To follow so per feet d drama, played on so tremendous a scale, with all Europe as theatre, and Kings and Emperors and armies as characters inevit ably arouses ones enthusiasm and as presented by M. France last evening, with the aid of numerous views, it was doubly inter- esting to the members of the Ali ance.
 M. France told briefly the comet like career of the marvellous child of Des- riny, from his boyhood campaign against snow forts at the Military school at Brenne. through his early battles for the Republic, his election as first Consul, his successes in Italy, and in Egypt, then he showed the Emperor at the height of his glory, finally undertaking the disa astrous ex- petition into Russia He told of Eng lands gathering the nations of Europe to hurl against the Emperor, in the final desperate efforts, the defeat, ab- dication and exile to Elba.
 Then came the final flash of light France dared hope, and Europe must fear that Napoleon was really indom- itable. But Waterloo and St. Helena and the six dreary years ending in the Emperor's death in 1921 close the final curtain and pronounce the presage of Moscow correct and the drama trag- eiy.

PREVENTATIVE MEASURE SUGGESTED TO STOP
 SCARLET FEVER RAVAGES
Epidemic of Disease Here Mostly Confined to Children
 Attending Public Schools
Health Board May Employ Nurse to Examine Children and See if Contagious Can Not be Grappled
 During Their IncipienCy.

There are 75 cases of scarlet fever in Bridgeport at present, twice as many as a year ago at this time. This ficer Mcclellan handed to the newly organized board of health at its first meeting last night.
 There have been two deaths from the disease and all of the cases emanate from the schools. President Ober characterized it as school term disease saying that when vacation scarlet fever, diphtheria, measles and other children's diseases almost who'll ly disappeared. He said it was a lucky thing that the holiday vacations came on as they did at Barnum school as there were 17 cases there and there is no knowing what might have happened.
 Health Officer Mcclellan said six of the IT cases at Barnum school were in one family. The mother of the children thought they had German measles and as fast as she thought they were we'll she sent them back to school while they were shedding the scarlet fever scales. Four of the children had gone to school before or before the school authorities knew they had the cases on their hands.
 .Dr. Mcclellan said that the danger of the disease spreading was so great that he was going to impress the ser vices of the sanitary inspector and the meat inspector to aid in tacking signs, fumigating, and establishing quarantines. The school teachers, he said, are watching for indications of the sickness by examining the hands of the children, but he felt that the city should take up permanent fight against childrens diseases. He thought the cheapest way to carry on the work would be to hire skilled nurse who could visit the schools and look up all of the cases where chil- dren stayed out because of sickness. Dr. Osborne thought 1t would be wise to hire a nurse to assist in the work.
 It was finally voted that the health officer should report the state of the epidemic each day and that the board should secure a nurse immediately if the indications were that more help was needed to stop the epidemic.
 Dr. Mcclellan said the epidemic

worked I1ardships whenever there was @ case in a tenement house of sev- eral families as all of the children who used the same railways as the Many cases of scarlet fever run for six weeks. President Ober said that six weeks was a long time to keep children out of school who intended to go to work when they reached the age of fourteen.
 Dr. Mcclellan said that the quaran- tine of children was the only way that the me ejority of the children could be protected unless the city wanted to build big hospital for contagious diseases where the patti ents could be taken.
 Such a hospital he said would pay for itself as in other cities families antir1e paid as high as $36 a week for rooms in the institution. Of the 75 cases in the city 69 are children from the public schools. The cases are distributed among the public schools as follows: Barnum school, IT; Hunt ington school, g; Sterling street school 2: Nichols street school, 1; Newfeld schools, g.; Staples school, 2; Myrtle avenue school, 5; Prospect street school, 5; Clinton avenue, |; Maplewood avenue, 4; Washington, 1; Wheeler, 2; Oak street, I; Shelton, 5; Island Brook, 1; Grand street, 4; St. Charles. 5; Bostwick avenue, i; and Summerfleld, 1.
 Before the board adjourned it voted to ask the board of apportionment for S1,000 for nurse to devote all of her time in searching for contagious dis eases and eye, ear, nose and throat throubles among the children of the public schools. AS the board of health expects to move into more commodious quarters Dr. Mcclellan thought it would be possible to have a room where the children found by the nurse to have ailments could be examined by physicians who he be- lieved would be glad to give their services gratis.
 The board has asked the tax board for $1,000 to rent rooms outside of the police and charities building and for $200 to purchase furniture. The room now occupied by the health board is wanted by the police depart ment,

 Jan. 12.-The complete overthrow of
 | President Madriz and the government
 forces within the next fortnight is
 confidently expected by the revolution
 ary synpathizers here today as re-
 l suit of the initial victories of the sol diers forming the advance guard of
 General Chammerro's army, which is
 advancing on Managua. General Chammerro is at the head of .0O0 soldiers. He can easily reach
 lManagua in two weeks and if neces- sary can reduce the time to ten days. General Mena is within few miles of Acoyapa with 5000 soldiers under him.
 Mena is counted on to defeat the government troops under Vasquez at Acoyapa. A decisive battle there is imminent A small clash took place yesterday at Lavordas, few miles from Acoyapa, the government force being driven back into the town. Lat -er however Vasquisz sent a much stronger force to the outpost and sue ceeded in checking the revolutionary advance. If Mena meets with serious resistance at Acoyapa, Chammerro will throw his entire army against the town and there is no one here who 0OuDLS. IQaL d COUlDlLCu dltdCh of the two wings of the revolutionary army will win an overwhelming vic tory. The resistance at Lavordas was the first encountered by the revolu- tionists which leads to the belief that, aside from the expected battle at Acoyapa, the march to Managua will be accomplished without serious ob- stacles.
 Provisional President Estrada is be- lieved to have the situation so we'll in hand that there is an increasing demand that he agree to compromise with Madriz on any other terms than the elevation of Estrada to the pres- idency.

 "Artie was determined to spend Christmas with his wife and little girl and wild horses could not hold him. We had him haled into court. in Ha- vana on the charge of contract break ing" said Hanager A. M. McAllister.
 Hoffman fell on his knees and pleaded so passionately that even the Cubans were touched and we had to abandon the tour. It cost us 5000, Now [ wouldn't blame the National Commission if it had contract jumpers burned at the stake. Baseball slavery is a good thing"

SUGGESTION THAT TROLLEY OFFICIALS
 MIGHT LOOK INTO

Editor of the Farmer:
 Sir-In regard to the trolley service in this city. I would say with the rest of the kickers:
 It IS not how many cars a system has but how they are used, that im- proves the service. If they would send the cars that come to Main and Fair field; avenue every morning to the South and West Ends with the passen- gers on them Crowded to the doors) instead of dumping them on the cor ner to transfer to other cars, they would, do much better. Instead they send those cars back to the barns empty.
 As far as the traffic delaying them is concerned it amounts to nothing; there are not over a dozen vehicles of any kind on Main street and Fairfield avenue corner between and in the morning. The cars get in each oth- er's way for lack of proper manage ment. If the superintendent would get out among the inspectors and give them a few points. if he has any, it might help some.
 Respectfully,
 w R. HARRIMAN.

other hand became affected and they were like piece of raw meat. Then it came on my face, neck and under my right arm so that I was unable to raise my arm for two weeks. It became so bad that was obliged to give up work.
 About four months ago started to doctor and the doctor told me it was eczema. So he told me to get - ointment and soap. I used them for month and they didn't do me one bit of good so I tried another doctor. He gave me three different kinds of medi-t cines, but I was very much put out when these remedies did not help me. I was unable to sleep at night and I gave up all hope until I decided to try the Cuticura Remedies. I used two cakes of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and three bottles of Cuticura Resolvent and I am glad to say am cured.
