From the New York Mail.
From a friend comes the suggestion
that a protest be made against a plan
which seeks to place copy OF Mrs.
Eddy's Science and Health" In the
library Of each American war ship and
naval station. The suggestion ID not well
taken. It is explained that the Eddy
book is not purchased by the govern
ment, as the Bible is. and that there
fore 1t may be accepted as gift as
any other authentic work on church de-
velopment might be. Libraries on naval
vessels are supplied with books purchased
under the supervision Of the. Bureau Of
Nayieation. and works Of denomina.
tional character are rarely. II ever. In
cluded in the selections. But any rule

DAVE JACKS OUTING,
Bridgeport Ambulance Driver on An
nual Vacation in Jewett City-Avoids
Trolley Cars.

The Bridgeport Farmer said Friday:
Dave Jack, the veteran ambulance
driver accompanied by Mrs Jack, the
police matron, left Bridgeport at II
o'clock this morning for their annual
visit to Mrs Jacks former home
Jewett City. Conn.
Dawes annual excursions to Jewett
City have come to be a part of the
regular life of the Police and Charities
! buildings. Events and happenings of
note about the place are dated "the
last time that Dave was at Jewett
CITY, and when Dave returns from his
annual outings he brings a stock OF
stories of happenings in the pictur-
esque old town that entertain the at
taches of the police and charities de-
partments for hours.
Bright and early this morning Dave
DOTTED his jumper and cap and brought
forth from his clothes press a black
suit and fedora hat. There was I'M
usual hustle and stir about the build
ing, for everyone knew that Dave was
going, and all wanted to bid him
adieu.
Dave has an unutterable prejudice
against all trolley cars. Never has
he ridden on Bridgeport trolley car,
not even a horse car in the old days.
So. he and Mrs. Jack walked down to
the railroad station and boarded a
train at II o'clock that bore them
gaily away towards Jewett City.
Last year, for the first time in his
life, Dave rode on Q. trolley car.
Though he had spent the greater part
OF his life in Bridgeport serving many
years in the fire department. later In
the charities department, he never
rode in a, trolley car in his life, until.
in an unguarded moment last year,
Mrs. Jack persuaded him to board a
car at Jewett City and enjoy spin
through the picturesque country.
