BREEZY POINT, PLAY
 TO BE GIVEN BY
 HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS

For. the second time in the history of the Bridgeport High School the assembly hall will be the scene of much merriment when on Friday evening, January 3rd, the girls of the Junior class will appear before real a little p1aylet entitled Breezy Point The 1914 Dramatics it will be remembered is a society of girls only which was organized just one year ago for the purpose of studying dramatic art and presenting one play annually. Last year the 1914 Ora on the evening of December 18th, and 1t was then the girls began their up- ward climb upon the ladder of dra- matic fame. Since then the club has itself as one of the best societies now existing in the High School. The young ladies who comprise the society have been working very faithfully and are hoping to crown their efforts with great success. Much of the credit which the amateur Thespians will re- ceive will be due to the careful and excellent training of Miss Violet Shepard Marsh, whom the girls were so fortunate to secure as coach. Miss Marsh has worked long and cess as are the girls Rehearsa1s have been held before the close of school before the Christmas vacation and ev- cry afternoon and evening before va cation time. The dress rehearsal will be held Thursday evening and every thing will be in readiness by then. Many friends outside the organization have graciously helped the girls by accessories free of expense. Mrs. Fanny Landes has offered of any necessary furniture, which will be of great assistance to the club, and best of all, the management of the Lyric theatre has kindly offered the use of the centre curtain The procuring of a suitable curtain had worried the girls greatly and they certainly ap- preciate the kindness of the Lyric management in helping them out. MT. B. Oe1sner will preside as artist not of scenery but of the faces of the girls. The play itself which is. a comedy, is all that could be desired The cast consists of IA young ladies. Those taking part are as follows: mistress of Breezy Point; Helen Miss Irene Hazel as Aunt Debby, Plumbley as Eleanor Pearl of un- known parentage; Elizabeth A. Far mum as Ashrael Grant; waif; Miss Agnes Clampett as Mrs. Hardscratch, the village gossip; and the Misses Grace Schwerdtle and Frances Erhard as the Bardscratch Twins who never tell nothin'; Miss Lydia B. c.

 Because heat is a motion of the molecules. Closely grouped as they are, the molecules of solid bodies cannot oscillate without communicating their motion to neighboring molecules. This propagation of the motion of heat from molecule to modecuDe is called conducjion of heat.''
 "And is the conduction of electricity the same sort of process?'
 Exactly. Only electricity moves in finitely more rapidly, because it is a more orderly motion. There is what should cau more team work among the molecules twisted by an electric current than the molecules moved by heat. When the molecules have no motion at all the substance is at 'ab- solute zero'-abol1t 461 degrees below zero Centigrade.''

Murder Not Always
Result of Wild Impulse.

1t is a shock to many people to
know there are professional assas-
sins in our land.
Many good people had believed
that murder was always, in these
days, the result of some wild i'm
pulse-of drunkenness, or Jealousy
of anger, of self protection or in
sanity.
1t seems almost incredible that
men who are not moved by any of
these emotions are to be found
banded together. ready to kill any
one for a stated sum of money
and a paltry sum comparatively
Now that such men have been
found and are held by the law for
trial, 1t would help the students of
eugenics to learn something of the
prenatal and early childhood con-
ditions from which those men came
1t would be worth while to appoint
committee to go about this search
for the desired information with as
great care as the detectives went
about the search for the criminals.
There should be, indeed, such
committee, whose work is to look
up the pedigree for at least two
generations of every man and wom-
an who becomes a criminal.
Especially should the prenatal
conditions be learned when there is
any possibility of obtaining such
data.

Other men implicated will no

fifteen men and eight women past
50 years Of age one sureIy,possesses

the room there were a fly having
an unerring sense enabling it to
detect the presence Of the undis-

mark. But, according to the sta
tistics. there would in the long
average surely be ONE in every
such assemblage who would carry

Sometimes the doctor can detect
the fatal blight or the probability
of its existence, but generally even
he can know nothing about it until
the disease visibly declares itself.
Then, if instant action is taken, in
some cases of external cancer he
can effect a cure with the aid of
the knife. The object of the spe-
Cialists now is to find some remedy
which win act upon the disease
wherever it may be located. You

What It Would Mean.

But would they be content even
with that condition. Not in the
least. The next effort would be still
further to prolong life. Then the
question would be seriously debat-
ed-as it has indeed already been
debated $500 whether death itself
might not be banished 1t is not
in the nature of man to be content,
and his Creator did not intend that
he should be content. His wonder
full powers were given to him in or
der that he might always seek to
better his condition. He was not
placed in the position of a Sisiphus,
doomed to pass all his time in
pushing stone up hill, only to see
it inevitably roll down again. He
DOES GAIN something every day.
His progress is slow, but yet GER
tain. He was put into a world full
Of enemies and given the means of
combating those enemies. Many
of them he has already conquered,
but many yet defy him. When he
has mastered all of his diseases a
new field for the exercise of his
genius will open before him. If it
did not he would WISH TO DIE,
and might welcome back the dis
eases as friends, for there is no
happiness for human nature except
in marching forward and accom-
pliShing something.

Few Women Know Laws
Of Prenatal Influence.

Only few women of the most
progressive order today know, or,
knowing, believe in, the laws of
prenatal influence.
Not one poor woman of the -un-
educated classes in a thousand has
the least idea on this aIl-important
subject.
Yet a butchers wife, who watched
the slaughter of animals before her
child was born, brought forth a
human monstrosity-a child crimi-
nal-who possessed an Unsuitable
desire to destroy life.
The child Of a woman whose hus-
band was miser and who com
PEELED her to beg or steal pennies
from his pockets to satisfy her
hunger was born a thief. and went
through life a kleptomaniac.
Innumerable cases can be cited
of the immediate results of the
mental influence Of the mother on
her unborn babe; and there is no
subject Of greater import for wom-
an to study than this. I
The government would do well to
set aside a certain sum of money
to aid such investigations for the
benefit of the science o. eugenics.
And this present moment is
most appropriate one to begin these
investigations.
Science is doing a great deal in
its effort to conserve and prolong
life,
