WANTED THE REAL THING

Pittsburg Dispatch: Once you give
a boxing fan Il taste of the real arti.
Gle you cannot hand him anything else.
This is demonstrated in the turn Of
events in the boxing game in New
York. Tho leading clubs of the me-
tropolis had a championship fight and
drew hig money houses. Latter on
some of the boxing clubs fell into dis
repute and had their licenses revoked
and the game in a degree came to a
standstill. The minor clubs. how
went on with their business, but
they could not draw with the second
rate fighters. Before the state legal
lied the boxing game these second
raters drew. hut after the patrons Of
the game had seen the real fighters
they refused to %patronizc any others.

Charley Ebbetts and other supporters

FIRE

The annual report of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for 1910 shows that the percapita loss by fire in Bridgeport was very much smaller than that of any other of the larger cities of Connecticut, situation re- fiecting much credit upon the Bridge port Fire Department. The per capita losses are given as follows:
 Waterbury, s2.07; Stamford, soss; Bridgeport, s1.15; Norwich, s142;Hart- ford SPOT; Stamford, $2.49; New Lon don, s2.63; New Haven, $3.6S; and Dan- bury, s5.4S.
 But no efficiency of fire depart ment can restore to the property owners of Bridgeport the losses they sustain through the enormous sums paid for fire protection. Undoubtedly in 1910 the people of this city paid out more than s3 in fire insurance premiums for every dollar that was paid back in fire losses. The cost of fire protection has been increasing for the past 10 years. But the charges for fire insurance have not been decreasing.

BROTHERHOOD OF I. o. o. F,

The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is the greatest upon the American continent, perhaps in the world. It is a brotherhood that num- bers 1,441,4 ,403, not considering growth since 1910, and not including mem bers of the order in Australia and Europe. Only the Freemasons and the Modern Woodmen of the World, of other brotherhoods, rank above the million mark. The beneficences of this magnificent order are enor- nous. In a single year it has paid out In the United States and Canada for. relief to members and their fami- lies more than five millions. Connec- tieut is a fair part of the brother hood, as show the proceedings of the Connecticut Grand lodge. just ad- journed. There are s3 subordinate lodges in the state with member ship of 21,8Ss,: assets amounting to somewhat less than a million dollars and annual expenditurss amounting to &21S,57o. He who is chosen a grand officer of such a body has been indeed honored. He who is chosen treasurer is doubly honored. The odd Fellows of Bridgeport will be glad because of the election of Sid- ney W. Challenger to this important post.

SIMPLICITY A CHARM
 MUCH TO BE DESIRED

Simplicity of manner is one of the greatest charms woman can possess. If being ones true self were as easy as it sounds, simplicity would be as common as a right eye or left hand, and the practice of it as habitual as the taking of the morning meal
 There is an irresistible tendency in all humanity, both masculine and fem mine, to copy some one else in man. nerism, in dress and in action. We are all born mimics. It is not neces- sary to go to the theatre to see a cor rect imitation of the other person.
 This example we set up to follow is the guiding star, the measure of our very existence. It may be real parsonage an acquaintance a friend tance. It may be merely a creature of imagination, sort of ideal entity we throw on the canvas of the minds 8 eye and then proceed to copy. Out siders accuse such a copyist of posing of affectation and guile, admiring or censuring according to the nature of the ideal.
 The girl who thinks everything is "just too sweet" "adorably lovely" 'perfectly maddening' and the rest of the girliSh guSh, is never so convince ing as her sister who uses one adjec- tive that rings true. She uses the same phrase to describe a visit to the soda fountain and a trip to Europe. In reality one doesn't mean much more to her than the other, for in almost every instance she is shallow. A reckless scattering of superlatives is a way of cheapening the conversation which no amount of actual thought

THE VAST PROPORTIONS OF THE LIFE INSURANCE BUSINESS

The number of people in this coun- try who make use of life insurance as a means of saving exceeds the total number who avail themselves of all the other recognized modes of thrift. Thus if we add together the nine millions of savings bank depositors, the seven millions of persons who own their own homes, the two million building and loan society stockhold- CTS, and the million and three-quar- ters of corporation stockholders. we shall have, not reckoning Implications, not more than twenty millions of in vestors, whereas the number of per sons who hold policies, ordinary and industrial, in life insurance compan- ies, exceeds twenty-eight millions. These twentye eight millions do not in- clude the number of certificate-hold- CTS in fraternal and assessment asso- citations.
 The total life insurance carried in the United States to-day is about $15O per head of the population a sum considerably greater than that of any other country in the world The com panies reporting to the New York in- surance department had on December 31, 1910, $14,6S0, 26S,315 insurance in force. They had total premium in- come of s533.O ,996, and assets am- bunting to s3,665,63O,535. which repre- sents approximately as large a sum of money as the total savings in all the banks of the country-Thomas Scanlon. in Moody's Magazine

 Dwelling in particular upon the sin gle assessment to be levied each month ,by the New England Order of Protection, Grand Vice Warden James L. Christie in speaking at the meeting of Park City lodge. N. E. O. P, last night, to make report on the recent session of the supreme lodge at Bos- ton, made it very clear why this was done Heretofore the order has been 1evying two and sometimes three as- easements each month, but in the fu- ture one assessment equal to three will be- levied. The order has decided to do t6is because the recent mobile" law enacted by Massachusetts requires it to have a surplus equal to a certain percentage of it's liabilities. It is conceded that three assessments a month will more than pay all the claims anticipated so that it is be- lieved under the decision to levy this triple assessment a comfortable sur plus will be accumulated. At this meeting the lodge also completed ar arrangements for a social whist and pinoch1e to be held on Wednesday,, May 31. for the members and their friends.

 When cards are fashionable the wo- man who poses will assure her hostess she is simply "wild'' about bridge when in reality she thinks it is stupid and can't play we'll enough to keep up interest in the game. There is anoth- CT type of girl who tries to convince the world at large and her own circle in particular that the welfare of the poor little children in the tenements is of vital import to her, when the truth of the matter is she thinks them wretched little beggars, and never makes a visit into the domains of pow erty, without feeling of intense re- vulsion.
 On the other hand the sincere girl says cards bore her to death, grand opera is a disease-not music-and that she prefers a summer on her un- cle's farm up in Maine to Newport any day. She shakes hands with a firm, steady grip, vents her amuse- ment in ringing laughter instead of painful chuckles and admits a con- stunning desire for old fashioned New England dinners.
 To be natural at all times is not easy but simplicity is a charm which few men or women can resist.

Four Robbers Bind Woman

Greenwich, May 1S-Four robbers held up Mrs. Joseph Franks late Tues day in the absence of her husband and boarders and ransackd the house and took her gold beads and watch. The Franks boarding house is north of here, just over the New Castle line. and the robbery was not reported until late yesterday. The Franks have about 20 boarders. Late Tues day four men entered the house and finding Mrs. Franks and her children alone in the house, pointed pistol at her head and bound her to a chair While two of them watched her the others ransacked the house, but found no money. They then took a string of gold beads from her neck and a gold watch Before leaving they dressed themselves in the clothes of the boarders and ate a hearty meal. The superintendent of the State police has been notified and a search for the men has begun.

SOME TOWNS THAT DO

There is bridge between the ; t-->s e R.Nsn and Stamford which Is so narrow that the street railway tracks cannot be carried over it. It is to be widened 5 feet on one side and five feet on the other. The by the street railway corporation in the proportion of two-thirds to one third. The towns will divide a charge amounting to $2,50O between them. The company will contribute $5,000. This is equitable. Two-thirds of the cost of a bridge jointly used by the public and by trolley companies, is about the amount that the latter should pay, establishing the duty ac- cording to the stress that each kind of traffic infiicts.
 Let us have no more talk about the state spending $5O0,OO0 to build new bridge for the Connecticut Company between Stratford and Mill ford.
 Let the new. bridge be built at the expense of the company in the pro- portion established in the precedent above set forth. Let the counties divide the remaining third of the ex- pense between them. This will he fair But if it seems unfair to the trolley company, it may build bridge entirely for it's own use. The present bridge is ample for all other traffic. Under this plan the coun- ties would be at no expense.
