Time and again, we've de- clared that Bridgeport folks are not slow.
 But for once, we are in doubt.
 And it's because of the splendid watch chance that the store has offered. Because of the way you have failed to realize it's goodness.
 Do you know, we have sold only about a-third of the number of watches we should have.
 Do you know, we've sold only about a-third of the number that have been sold in other cities no bigger than Bridgeport.
 Knickerbocker watches are splendid and reliable. Each one is in a gold filled case that is guaranteed for 10 years. Each one in an American 6-jeweled move ment. Every one is sold with the privilege of carry ing for 30 days. At the end of that time, if it hasn't giv en satisfactory service, bring it back and get your money back.
 Such watches are worth $7.5O to $10.
 Present price is $4.5O.
 That price will rule for only a few days.
 If Bridgeporters are real ly not slow we are going to sell a great big lot of them within the next five days.

Were Taken In Pink Block, Which Is Worst Resort
 In City
DELANEY DEMANDS CLEANUP
Will Take Up Nature of Block Tenantry' With
 the Owner

Creased and dirty from faithful service for several years, a tattered remnant of marriage license, saved from the wreck of domestic row that brought a honeymoon to an end, saved two people from jail today
 The lucky people were Charles and Louise Youngs, colored. The hus- band works for c. Rickard, as team ster. He came here from Philadel- phia five weeks ago. His wife is manner gained from experience as domestic in well regulated homes.
 They with a score of whites and blacks were arrested in a raid in which was apprehended every human being in the big tenement in Housa- tonic avenue known as the Pine Block, just north of East Washing ton avenue. Sergeants O'Leary and Blansf1eld, with a score of patrolmen surrounded the place, then routed out the inmates.
 While penalties varying from small to the others, according to the reputa- tions they had acquired by previous police experience, Charles and Louise escaped fortunately.
 None of the police knew the pair. They said they were man and wife.
  ed Prosecutor Delaney.
 ''Yes, sah, y'onnah," came in quick response from Louise. She delved into little hand bag and brought forth a piece of paper that was once white. She handed it to Court Officer Finnegan.
 Whats this?'' asked Delaney.
 Oats it, sah," replied Louise.
 On examination it was seen that the paper was about one-fourth of the original document, while pinned to a corner was a slip of paper con- taining the information that was originally contained in the document as it stood intact.
 Where's the rest of it?'' demanded the prosecutor. Louise no doubt blushed. At any rate, she hung her head bashfully.
 '.Ah'll tell de truf," b1urted out Charles at this juncture. we had row, men Louise, and An done torn up dat paper"
 "Yessah, Mister Jedge. and An done save jest dat corner" interrupt ed Louise.
 Judge Wilder vouchsafed a judicial smile. DsLaney .grinned, and asked Judge Wilder to let the pair go free.
 They barely stopped to thank the court officials for their escape, and prom ised to keep as far away from the Pink Block as possible.
 Delaney told Judge Wilder the Pink. Block is the worst joint in the city. and he announced his intention of ;aking up the nature of the oc- cupants with the owner of the build out of town trip. He says the Block must be cleaned up. Later he said he understood the owner of the block is Tracy B. Warren.
