You need to think a bit. It's the inalien-
able right Of every man and woman to
seek happiness. So far, though, they have
often not found it there; still the best place
to look for 1t is with the right one of the
opposite sex. II you are willing TO forswear
your birthright, IL YOU like stiff. cramped
up antennae, just continue to decorate the
edges and pass cake at other girls we'd
dings.
But II you really and truly have the heart
OF woman, you must have the antennae.
Use them! Exercise theml Get the kinks
out of them! Polish up your smiles! Lubri-
cate your speechl Learn to laugh when
you are amused In short. put out those
honest natural feelers that were intended
to help you to the rose garden where love
lies among the flowers.

the use Of planning? How often man pro-
poses and God dispSsesl'
True. that sometimes happens. Like ev-
erything else. planning is good only in
moderation. 1t is not wise to lay oHs's
plans too definitely and too exactly. leav-
ing no margin for unforeseen circumstances
which may arise; but II is infinitely less
wise not TO have formed the practice Of
planning ut all.
The man who has learned to plan things
ahead is a man to be depended upon. His
friends get into the habit OF laying their
troubles before him and asking his advice
in finding way out of their difficulties.
His clear mind, well trained to understand
a situation at a glance, Immediately grasps
the facts of the case. debates mentally the
pros and cons and in nine cases out of ten
he is able to plan a course OF action that
will lead out of the trouble. Thus he be-
comes a power for good.

At The Danbury Fair Experienced : Sky Pilot Will
 Make Daily Flights

One of the big features of the Dan bury Fair Oct 3 to s will be daily flights by an experienced aviator in a 60 h. p. biplane of the Curtiss type. George Schmidt is the man who has beenS engaged to appear, and he is a man whsx. if bis past. performances are any criterion, will give entire sat- isfaction
 The Fair management had been en- deavoring for some time to secure a competent aviator to fly at the Fair. The attention of Fair official was one 5ay aHracteA toAa story in a Maine newspaper telling of the great success of Aviator Schmidt's flights in that state. The matter was looked into, and when schmidt appeared at a fair in Waterville, &AIe, .z later in the summer, a representative of the Dan bury Fair association was OF hand to watch the flights. This representative reported that he was greatly pleased with the ayiator's showing. Schmidt flew twenty-five miles over and about thes city, the day that the Fair repre- sentative was there. Schmidt's man agers were communicated with, with the result already stated. The aviator has appeared at numerous fairs

OUR SERVICE SAVES

throughout the country this season, and has had consistent success in his flights, and the visitor to the Danbury Fair can look forward with confidence to seeing real flights on every day when the air conditions do not make them impossible.
 Aviator Schmidt will onake from two to four flights daily. The only thing that will keep him from flying will be counter air currents or dangerous ed dies, as the space about the Fair Grounds is not sufficiently free to warrant the taking of any chances in an aeroplane. The flights will be made from the center of the race track oval, location which will make the ascents and descents visible to all persons on the grand stand.
 On Monday of Fair week, October ?, the aviator will make a flight, weather conditions permitting from the Fair Grounds out over the city and back to the grounds. This will give MT. Schmidt an opportunity to show the Fair management and the general pub l:c that he deserves his reputation as an experienced and skilful sky pilot.

Miss Somerset
 Is Honored By
 French Academy
Teacher at Bridgeport High School Receives Cherished Decoration For Educa-
 tiOnal Service

Persons who have read many French stories will perhaps remember the an- xiety of some of the characters to ob- tain a "decoration'' from the French government as a reward of service to public education or some other use full work in which they had been en- gagged. They will also recall the sat- isfaction with which such aspirants wore the bit of ribbon which was the symbol of their honors, if their dreams happily came true.
 Very few residents are aware that a very unassuming lady who usually keeps her triunphs to herself has just been t'decorated' by the division of the French Academy which concerns itself with education and fine arts. Miss Margaret Somerset head of the French department in the Bridgeport High school is now the possessor of a formal document which appoints her an officer Of the Academy and gives her the right to wear the bit of rib bon which French men and women, especially those engaged in education so earnestly desire. The honor is only granted upon positive proof of the merits of those who obtain it and few foreigners possess it.
 The special service which Miss Som
 
 consists in her successful efforts to establish in Bridgeport a branch of the Alliance Francaise that great na- tional association which has for it's chief object the spread of the French language in French colonies and in foreign countries. But even this would not have sufficed to procure such rec ognition for her if the officers of the Alliance in New York and Paris had not become fully conversant with the extent of her attainments and her un- selfish devotion to the cause she has at heart. They were aware that her knowledge of French had been gained through years of study under profess sors of the first rank in France and the United States. Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Radcliffe College. the Univer- versity in Canada. had all contributed towards her training and at all of them she had pursued her studies with credit. In her frequent summers in Paris she had availed herself to the. fullest extent of the teachings of the distinguished professors to whom the Alliance entrusts its summer courses. These gentlemen as we'll as the direc- tors of the Alliance knew the quality of her work and they cheerfu1ly CO., opera ted in procuring for her the un- sought distinction which those who had personal knowledge of the energy and tact with which the activities of the Bridgeport 'groupe" are carried on considered her due. This graceful international courtesy will give pleas ure to all who know the faithfulness and earnestness which mark Miss, Somersets teachings in the High school and her wholesome influence over the young people entrusted to her care.

How People Are ! Paying The Sugar!
 Trusts ''Fines''

New York, Sept f2.lThe people arc paying the fine of s2,0O0,O0O assessed against the American Sugar Refining Company, say the merchants whose customers protest against the raise of one and one-half cents in the price of sugar. It will take less than nine days-to refund to the trust the full amount
 The advance of one and one-fkfI cents has been made half-a-cent af~a time, during the past ten days.
 The annual consumption of sugar in the United States is, in round num- bers, 5000, ,000,0 900 pounds, or more than 22,0O0,000 pounds daily. During the canning and preserving season of All gust, September and October the daily consumption is twenty-five per cent. greater than the average. Therefore the people of the United States will use during the three months named approximately 27,000,000 pounds of su-. gar daily.
 Thus the advance of one and o7fGz half cents a pound will put into the coffers of the sugar barons $455,O09 daily in excess of their ordinary req ceipts
 The Confessional investigation noz the Sugar Trust, which resulted in f15o fine of s2,000,000 against the American Sugar Refining Company brought out the fact that this company controls about one-half of the sugar busines4 in the United States
 Therefore, this company will get s277,500 daily from the consumers be- cause of the advance. and reimburso itself for the fine paid the Govern ment in nine days.
 But the price will not be reduced, after the fine is paid, according to the predictions of jobbers and retailers These men say that, judging from signs they are accustomed to reading there is more likelihood that the price will go higher than that there win be a reduction
 The refiners say the advance IS dua to the shortage of raw material, which it may be added, the trust also scon- trOls. sfJ
 There is more devi1ment in the su- gar trade than in anything else know anything about" said John Ar buckle, one of the countrys sugar ba- rons, recently. And the consumers of the country are disposed to asres with him.
