 the desire of John Pitz to open sa-
 loon on the Huntington road. Pitz's application was filed regularly and at
 tested by Town Clerk Lowell. When this particular advertisement appear ed in accordance with che law in such cases made and provided. the name of Harold c. Lowell appeared both as ap has been busy denying the report that he proposes to open a saloon.
 Thousands of visitors were in town yesterday and the selectmen had pro- 1 vided no extra police to take care of
 passed through the streets and gath
 cred at Paradise Geeen, Longbroolzt
 avenue and the Center. State Police | man Rowe Wheeler and Constabbe
 Palmer had their hands full and as &
 result more than dozen arrests were
 made. On the Fourth of July a. dozen extra. deputies were sworn in to pre- vent the boys from shooting firecrack- CTS, but yesterday a big crowd of careless outsiders did as they pleased about the town and laughed at the
 rural selectmen who had % little re- gard for the welfare of tine town kAutomobiles were damned together at Paradise Green and Longbrook avenue l until it required over an hour to un- tangle the mess. At least twenty special policemen should be on duty
 every Sunday until the war game is over.
 l The Dingbat clambake at Hickory Lodge was the affair of yesterday,
 even if the town was full of aviators and soldiers. Frank Hermann of Bridgeport was
 again seen behind the counter at Tut

 1 That good looking. smooth faced young fellow about town who has a sort of fazniliar look is Capt. Byron Romer, minus the flowing beard of Jet black which has been admired by lads and laSsies alike. While the loss | of his beard may have some adva.nt-
 ages in summer weather it has also brought it's disadvantages On Satur- day Capt Rorner was in Bridgeport. I While standing on the sidewalk wait I ing for a Stratford car at the Allan
 tic Hotel he discovered an intimate
 friend, a lady, in distress attempting l to board a car with heavy valise.
 Capt. Bonner, always gallant, stepped forward and attempted to take the
 bag and assist his friend aboard the
 car The lady is very deaf. She did
 not recognize the captain Thorough 1 ly alarmed she called loudly for the police. Capt. Romer attempted to explain but the lady asserted that she
 did not know him and would not lis- ! whole party to the police station where Byron explained to her and to Supt. Birmingham. The lady recog- ] nized him, made all sorts of apologies
 and allowed him to carry her valise
 and see her aboard her car. Capt.
 Romer has thrown his razor into the river and has registered a VOW never again to put steel to his face.

 ordered the motorman to turn back I ito Bridgeport In the meantime, the
 hospital at Camp Lee had been noti- q fled and an ambulance was ordered to meet the car at Paradise Green l with a surgeon The inspector said the next car for the Green would take the injured man there. but the de- mands of an officer who was on the car and the protests of a crowd of
 people who objected to leaving the injured man for such a length of time induced the inspector to change his order and the car continued its trip
 The crowd around the car was in an ;, angry mood and threats of violence were freely made if the inspector re- mained obdurate. As 1t was ne es' capped by a narrow margin.
