Troubles Over Transfers To
 SteepIechase
Cottagers at the Milford Beach Feel They Have Grievance Against Conn. Go.
Especial to the Farmer.)

Laurel Beach, Milford, July 3-Cot- tagers at the Milford beaches have a just grievence against the Connecticut Co.,. which kick will be put up to of ficials of the company by committee from the beaches during the week. Many summer boarders who yesterday took a trip to Steeplechase Island in Bridgeport, to attend the New Brit Bridgeport game, were compelled they continued to the center of the city, ten cen fare would suffice.
 There is way around paying the extra nickel, but that is by way of the Barnum avenue route, to the cen ter of the city, and transfer to the Seaview avenue cars at the depot. This is a matter of from twenty to thirty minutes longer than the Strat- ford avenue route.
 The fact that the Connecticut Go. send the New Haven cars in SBarnum avenue brings about the result. There would be the same outcome if the Shelton-D Derby cars ran through Bar mum avenue.
 The shorter route to Steeplechase is by way of Stratford avenue. From the beaches transfer is required Sat Stratford center, but another transfer ford and Seaview avenue The Griev- ance committee will suggest that the company issue a special transfer to alleviate such conditions. The com pany got around the trouble to a slight degree yesterday by sending number of her beach cars over the Stratford avenue route.

A GOOD HISTORY OF IRELAND

The History of Ireland from the Earliest Times to the Present Day." in three volumes, by the Rev. E. A. Dalton, LL.D., is published in a third edition in six convenient half vol umes by the Gresham Publishing Company, London The author is an Irishman and a priest; in so far per haps he may be said to be biased, but it is difficult to see how a satis- factory history of Ireland can be writ ten in English except by an Irishman and a Catholic. With these limita- tions it must be admitted that the author has shown remarkable res traint and impartiality. His study of the sources is particularly noticeable in the tangle of the early history; with the advent of the English he has gen orally left the facts to speak for themselves. He does not hesitate to blame Irish leaders when they deserve it noE tQ- praise. English, administra

Angela Tempest, barely 21, an heiress and unspoiled, arrives moneyed Engliishman has. rented from Jock" the impoverished head of a Scottish clan. The other guests at this house party rather look down upon "Jock,' otherwise John Murdock Mackenzie, for having rented his an cestral home to strangers for the sake of a few extra "bawoees"; hence they give him the nickname ''Baw- bee Jock"
 Angela becomes interested in Jock" She thinks there must be some reason for his course or he would never let Glenmoira, his dearly loved home, to strangers. She dis covers that he has become impover- ished through the wrongdoing of a younger brother, the scapegrace of the family, who was his mothers idol, although he broke her heart. On her deathbed the mother had left Alister as a charge to Jock bidding him shield his young brother even # he had to sacrifice GIenmoira
 So far Jock" has been able to pay Alister's debts without selling the old place and he himself lives on an acre of the estate in a very simple cottage. He never fails to shield his brother, and when he falls in love with Angela the habit of self-sacrifice is so strongly formed that he does not dream of asking her to be his wife,
 Angela has let him think her pen niless girl, liking the sensation of be- ing loved for herself alone. She knows that Jock loves her and she returns his love; he is so different from the men she has known As she tells Flossie, her guardian it was a getting away from all that was conventional to what was really real; the strong, sweet, pure things of na- ture, things which have not changed for centuries; the hills and the moors with their memories of what has been."
 She marries Jock with an idylIic service held out of doors, with only F1ossie as a witness and goes to live in his little cottage with

Her partner and she get big auto mobile by leaving the agent in the front hall of an apartment and going out the back way.
 But the woman is jealous of her partner because he is ostensibly in love with the richest girl in town, who reciprocates the passion. So she sets the detectives after him. They ar rest him while he is robbing her safe as they suppose.

HOW TO KEEP WELL IN sUMNEg

In the July Woman's Home COT1f- panion pr. Jean Williams writing on How to Keep Well in Summer" says,
 in part:
 burden during the summer months, eat sparingly. especially of the heat producing foods. Add green vegeta- bles and fresh ripe fruits generously to the diet. Avoid underripe. overrfpe or partially decayed fruits as you would poison for that is exa ctfy what they are. Strawberries and other small seeded fruits disagree with many people, In such case.use only the juice of the fruit.
 Ice water, so commonly and copi- ous1y consumed, is very bad for tEs stomach and sometimes very danger ous. Acute indigestion is often caused by drinking it. As for the ever-pres- ent soda fountain. though not all is evil that flows from it's faucets. there are few persons who's health will not suffer from indulgence in the heavily sweetened, over-favored. fce-crears1- nut chocolate mixtures that are sold so much more commonly than the wholesome grape-juice. apple-5uice, lemonade, Zoolack matZoon or butter milk The last named three not only serve as agreeable refreshing bever- ages. but are most valuable foods as well.
 Finally, let me urge everyone to cultivate the holiday spirit. If you can't have a long vacation, take q short one. If you can't leave your work at all, manage to make your work conform in some manner to summer standards. Picnic as much as you can, if you enjoy it. Eat out of doors, if you can do so in compara- tive privacy. In these respects housekeeping women are much more fortunate than their brothers and sis- terS husbands and fathers out in the business world because much of their work can be taken out of the stuffy rooms into the air. Fortunately we are all rapidly learning how much of a factor in preserving health this out door life may be, and how much ft will help us to make our summer not only healthfu1 but happy"
