Summer washing means days dfscom- fort every week-unless you use Fels-Naptha soap.
 A hot fire on summers day Is heart breaking; every woman knows 1t. If you wash with Fels-Naptha you don't need hot fire. Boiling Is unnecessary.
 Fels-Naptha will clean the clothes bet ter and quicker in cold or lukewarm water than any other means That Is why Fels-Naptha Is not only soap, but different way of washing.
 No boiling. No hard-rubbing on a wash board to heat you up. No time wasted. Makes your white clothes winter and sweeter than you can get them in any other way: Wet the things, soap freely with Feis-Naptha, let them soak for thirty minutes; then rub lightly, rinse and hang out to dry.
 Sounds easy, doesn't it2 And it is easy. If you have tried 1t, you know. If you haven't, try 1t next washday. But be sure and use -Fels-Naptha the Fels-Naptha way. Follow directions on the red and green wrapper.

DINNER TONIGHT
To BIRD men BY
BOARD OF TRADE

In honor of the big aviation carnival
which opens tomorrow the Board OF
Trade will give a complimentary din
ner this evening to the aviators. the
citizens committees which have been
working for the affair, the mayor, the
local Senators and Representatives
and a number Of other prominent citi-
zenS.
Glenn Curtiss, James A. D. McCur-
dy, Lincoln Beachy and Lieut.. Fickel
and Ellyson, of the q. s. Army and
Navy respectively are the aviators
who will fly at the Bridgeport meet,
and accordingly they will be the
guests of honor tonight.
The dinner will be a strictly infor-
NAL affair and will be given in order
to show the Board of Trades appre-
citation OF the boosting Bridgeport
is receiving throughout the State and
the Nationa as well through the COM
ing of the Curtiss aviators.
The last place in which these dar-
ing birdmen gave an exhibition was

Bridgeport is the first city of its size
in the world to have meet of such
Importance and furthermore it will

MANUFACTURERS DECLARE
SATURDAY HALF HOL!DAP
FOR AVIATION CARNIVAL
Indications Point to Record-Breaking Crowds All
Three Days of Meet-Curtiss, McCurdy and Beachy
Arrive in Town This Afternoon - Machines Are
Now Here

Official action was taken today by
the Manufacturers association OF
Bridgeport toward declaring Saturday
afternoon a half-holiday in all the
factories of Bridgeport, to give the
working people a chance to see the
big aviation meet at the Bridgeport
Aerodronre (Nutneg Park which be-
gins tomorrow and continues Friday
and Saturday afternoons.
Indications point to record breaking
crowds on all days Of the meet, and
the city is sure to be swarmed with
visitors.
At The Stratfield, where the ad-
vance sale of seats is being handled,
reservations are constantly coming in
for the automobile section and grand
stand. 1t is very probable that the
biggest collection of automobiles ever
gathered at any event in the state
will be parked inside the fences Of the
Aerodrome during the meet.
Curtiss. McCIfdy and Beachy will
arrive in this city about $40 this af-
ternoon and will be the guests of hon.
or at an informal dinner arranged by
the Board Of Trade. to be held at The
Stratfield at ESQ.
The two Curtiss aeroplanes which
will be used in the meet arrived this
IllOTIluS Dy NCNpfSSS OUo vi lli6IIb ~
now being assembled at the park, in
readiness for the installation of the
wireless apparatus. The other will be
set up for tomorrow. There is no hur-
ry about putting the machines togeth-
err, as it is q work which requires
only two hours to perform.
No set program has been arranged
for any day of the meet, as the
weather will govern all that, but it
is planned to nave as nearly as pos
sible to Is events each day.
A thrilling race between aeroplaneS
starting from the scratch mark on the
field is one Of the novelties which is
planned for the Bridgeport meet.
This affords a spectacle which has
more thrills to the square inch than
any Other contest in the world. The
sight of two aeroplanes starting off
side by side and racing at faster than
express train speed through the air
is one which will long be remember
ed by every spectator. 1t is fraught
with more than even the ordinary
heavy risks of aerial navigation. Fly
ing machines are not under such deli
cate control that it is possible to race
them side by side with any dgree OF
safety.
CAefer events will be the sending of
wireless telegraph messages from a
moving aeroplane to the wirless sta
ton in the Pulitzer building, New
York: target shooting contests with
rifles; bomb throwing tests from
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1911-05-10

aerOplanes: races to determine the
speediest aerolaane as we'll as the
one which can remain in the air at
the slowest speed: and many other
novel and SPECTACULAR stunts showing
the latest strides in mans mastery Of
the air.
A force Of workmen is busy today
decorating the aerodrome. Special
festoons of flags and buntings will be
draped about the boxes in which the
Mayors of various Connecticut cities
will be the guests.
The policing of the park will be well
attended to in three ways. Sheriff
Charles F.. Stagg and a force of depu-
ties from Stratford will be on hand;
squads from the Bridgeport police
force will be present, and Capt. F..
NJ. Hawes, former Pinkerton who
now conducts a detective agency in
this city, will be on the lookout for
any possible visits from the light
fingered gentry
The local aerodrome is not equipped
with 'pilons'' the technical term for
the long white poles which are set up
as marks for the aviators to turn
about. Instead the local aerodrome
OF making the guide marks upon the
ground.
In view Of the Saturday half holiday,
it is probable that the greatest crowd
of all will attend on that day. but
it is more likely that even the big ca
pacity Of the aerodrome will be test
cd on all days of the meet.
During the aviation meet on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, at the
Lake Aerodrome, the Connecticut
Company announces the following
special car service arrangements:
Cars bearing sign ito the aviation
field will be operated on the loop
through Bridgeport and Stratford in
both directions. In one direction. cars
leaving the railroad station will go
through Main, Congress ,and William
streets, East Washington avenue and
Barnum avenue, Main street and
Stratford avenue, (Stratford) to the
Aerodrome. Passengers from Noble
and Barnum avenues, upper East
Main street and adjacent sections,
will find 1t to their advantage to take
cars in this direction. These cars
will return to the city through STRAIT
ford avenue. f
Another line of cars bearing the
sign ''to the aviation field will leave
the railroad station, going out STRAIT
ford avenue, and returning to the
city through Barnum avenue.
Due to the traffic congestion at
the corner of Main street and Fair
field avenue. these cars will run
through Water and Golden Hill
streets. not rounding this busy cor
ner. Passengers should transfer at
the railroad station.

to shoot that only served TO beighten
the speed of the fugitive. The chase
continued until the negro ducked in

shoot through the crate the negro
begged for mercy and surrendered.
Later g. kit of tools suitable for burg

In fact it is with US already.

MAYOR WELCOMES
MASTER PLUMBERS
TO BRIDGEPORT
Two Hundred, Representing
Local Organizations of
Connecticut, Dine at At
lantic Hotel.

Gathering in Bridgeport to cele-
brate the 21st birthday of an organ
ization that had its inception in
Bridgeport, the Connecticut Master
Plumbers association were hidden a
cordial welcome to the birthplace of
their association by Mayor Bucking-
ham at the Atlantic hotel, today.
Upwards of 200 plumbers, repre-
senting local organizations from all
parts Of the state were present. The
meeting opened with the mayors ad-
dress Of welcome, and a. brief bust
ment was taken. When the conven-
ton reconvened, an executive session
was held for the election of officers
and other routine business.
A banquet was served at the At
iaalcfg horei at - o.5lock this after
noon. Mayor buckingham waxed
facetious in his address, blending his
expressions of the city's good will to-
wards the convention with a. vein of
humor that tickled. the plumbers.
After assuring the plumbers that the
city was proud to entertain the con-
was entitled to recognition in the
craft.
The plumbers have to look out for
bad joints said Mayor Buckingham.
But that's part of my business, too"
He thought the mayor of a city or
any politician had as much to do
with twists and turns as any plumb
er that ever lived. But there was
one feature about the plumbers, he
argued, that would tend to disqualify
them in the race of successful poll
ticians, and that was the prevalence
of leaks in their business
Speaking of the association's hav-
ing attained its majority today, on
the occasion of it's 21st annual con-
vention, Mayor Buckingham said it
was eniinently fitting that they should
return to the birthplace of the or
ganization on an event so auspicious.
He characterized the organization
Conn.," and said the city
was honored in having a body so
and enterprising claiming
the Park City as its home town. He
paid tribute to the vigor of the local
plumbers, who he said were in no
having attained eminence as the in
dustrial capital of Connecticut and
the second in population.

and then took up the routine of work.
