THE GIRL
BOOK OF TRANSFERS
Generous "Conny," Who
Was Enamored of Pretty
Suburban Miss.

One of the fly-by might conductors
who by chance got job with the
Connecticut Co., had grave forebod-
ings last week that he was under sus-
palsied right arm. and q short MEM
DRY. and he planned to make q get
away before he was fired. He had
been infatuated with sweet young
thing who attends a local educational
institution. and who resides in Mil
ford. Just so that the Miss would
have something to remember him by.
and would be able to save a few nick
els the young conductor punched q
whole book of transfers and present
ed them to his fair charmer. They
were so arranged that she could ride
day as long as the big bunch of trans
fers lasted The sweet young thing
who is some day destined TO have
charge Of some mercantile office. set
out to show her friends that she did
not have to pay to ride on the trolley
cars.
When a conductor would present
himself for her fare the young lady
would dig down in her hand bag and
make the conductor wait until she had
gone through the book and found a
transfer that was properly punched
Her schoolnnates looked on with eyes
of envy and wondered If they would
ever have someone hand them q book
of transfers.
The conductors who collected the
transfers were dumbfounded by the
innocent manner that the young lady
openly displayed her book of trans
fers
Last evening when she flashed the
book of transfers an inspector sat
down beside her and asked her for
the book. She gave it up reluctantly
and when asked for her name and
adrresr She, r1nAdqd that NOTHING bn
done toward prosecuting her She was
a. badly frightened young women.
1t is understood that the company
will not bring any action in the mat
ter. as It is satisfied to get possession
of the transfers.

DIR. ZONES WOULD
PROVIDE FOR FREE
DENTAL CLINICS
Offers Use of Portion of His
New Building Without
Charge
Outlines His Views as to How
Clinics Should be Conducted
Out of Town Dentists and
Local Officials Among Speak
erS

At an open meeting of the Bridge
port Dental association, at the STRAIT
field last evening, where were repre-
sentatives Of the Board OF Educa-
ton and school teachers, DR.. A. c..
Zones, offered the City the use Of
the entire top floor Of his new build
ing at Main and Arch streets for free
dental clinics.
Dealing with the condition Of the
teeth of public school children DR..
Zones declared that If every dentist
in the city were to work 10 hours a
day on the children, it would be years
before all were properly cared for.
The city pays $4,000 a year needlessly
towards education Of children who
would not be backward if their teeth
were properly attended. He argued
that prevention, by cleanliness was
better than cure Of conditions that
arise from neglect.
DR.. Zones outlined q scheme for a
dental clinic for the school children.
He said that two women graduates Of
dental colleges, with 10 dental nurses
would form an ideal staff for such an
enterprise, and said that his building
was at the disposal Of the city for
such a purpose. AS for the cost, DR..
Zones estimated that to be, Of the two
graduates $25 per week and the nurses
$40 a week for the last % weeks Of
the school year, their services for the
first part of the school year being
available free.
Among the other speakers at the
meeting last evening were DR.. T. p.
Hyatt, DR.. q. B. Palmer, both Of New
York city and DR.. George W. Osborne,
president Of the Board Of Health, Dr..
G. W. Deane, superintendent of
schools, and Health Officer e. A. Nc
Lellan. The three city officials en-
dorsed DR.. F'one4 proposed clinic,
which IL along the line Of action pro-
posed by Mayor Buckingham to the
Health Board a few weeks ago when
he urged the establishment of a clinic
for the care Of school children.
