COMMISSIONERS WATCH TEST OF
 QUEER VEHICLE

AS the result of a series of highly successful tests yesterday morning in the presence of Fire Chief Edward Mooney and the members of the Bridgeport Board of Fire Commisslon- CTS, that body will appeal to the Board of Apportionment for an appropriation to permit the purchase of Martin Tractor,-a bit of automobile appar- atus which will change the big No. ? truck from horse-drawn to self-pro- pelled and add greatly to the efficiency of Bridgeport's fire department.
 President Dwight Wheeler of the fire board, expressed himself as being greatly pleased with the tests. He and the other members of the board be- ieve that the tractor will make great addition to the fire department. Its greatest virtue is the fact that it will permit of the use of the present truck, which is fine new one, where as if new automobile truck were to be purchased, the present one would be relegated to the scrap heap.
 The Martin Tractor, as it is call ed, is a peculiar looking affair, with only one wheel in front for steering. It is a bit of automobile apparatus which may be mounted readily to any perior to horses for drawing the big fire truck, for the single steering wheel permits it to turn at an angle of 80 degrees-much greater than the ordinary automobile-and it can be handled much more readily than the horses, and will pull to fires with greater speed.
 At the same time the Tractor may be so arranged that it's speed cannot exceed 25 miles an hour, which the commissioners believe is the safety limit for such a tremendously cumber- some and heavy vehicle as the big fire truck.
 Yesterdays tests were made with the old discarded No. 3's truck which has been kicking around the back yards of the Bridgeport department for 15 years. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning the tractor, drawing the truck, was sent spinning up Arctic street, over the steep grades of Hos pital hill ! Without apparent effort, the tractor pulled the heavy truck up the hill at a speed of between 25 and 80 miles an hour, while the fire chief and commissioners looked on.
 Then an exhibition was given of handling in close quarters. The sim gle steering wheel in front gives great range-that is it's purpose. The ordinary automobile steering wheels cannot make sharp turn, but the sin gle steering wheel of the tractor can turn at an angle of 80 degrees and the big truck can be handled with the grea test readiness.
 The Martin Tractor is a new device brought out by the Knox Company in Springfield, who make @ speciality or auto trucks and auto fire apparatus. The tractor desired for the use of the local department is listed at $3,25O, and will be less expensive for up-keep than the horses now utilized by the depart ment to draw the big truck.
 All who witnessed the tests are en- over the advantages of the aractor and hope to see it added to the local department, thus completing the automobile fire brigade.

CHOOSES \ HUSBAND
OUT OF y HUNDRED

Boston, Mass-Miss Lena Leavitt,
a West End girl. has received within
a short time more than 100 proposals
of marriage, all due to her procuaim-
ing her right to choose for herself
when it came time to pick a life part
ner. Her views found immediate re-
spone in the hearts of a great num-
her of SWANS, who deluged her with
marriage proposals.
What she did was simply to state
publicly that she did not believe in the
custom still in vogue among Orthodox
Hebrews to allow the parents with
the aid of a "schatchen." or match
maker, to arrange all the details OF
a marriage pact between two young
persons without consulting them In
the matter.
Miss Leavitt admitted hat out of al
the proposals she picked one, a
young man from WATERFOWL, and they
will be married in the winter.
