SEALER KELLY
 WOULD REDUCE COST OF LIVING
WANTS COMMON COUNCIL TO ENACT ORDINANCES COVER ING WEIGHTS AND
 MEASURES.

The following communication from Dennis E. Kelly, the newly appolnteo Eealer of weights and measures Is or Interest in view of the increasing cost hf the necessities of 1ife., The, com rnunication was referred to the Oro1- nance committee of the Common Council for appropriate action:
 "Gentlemen: During my tour of in- spection of the weights and measures of this city I find that conditions warrant my recommending to your honorable body some additions 10 the Lrifv ordinances, that will emphasize laws already on the statute books concerning weights and measures and assist me in the work I am doing in .carrying out the provisions of my of Nice as city seaEer.
 'sT find that all previous inspections which were carried on under the old Nee system were very lax and induc- tive to laxity in the methods of some iof our shop keepers in regards to the way they follow the law regarding weights and measures. l find many of them selling articles by liquid measures when they ought to use dry ln easure, and others are measuring Vegetables with paper bags without the aid of seals or measures. These measures are clearly an injustice to the buyers as in the first instance there Is about 15 per cent difference lbetween dry and wet measures, and ifhe buyer loses just that much, and lin the case of paper. bags it is not given the buyer a chance to see if he is getting honest weight or measure and enables the merchant to give short weight.
 stTn other cities of the size of the city of Bridgeport the peddlers are IAz to be registered or licensed and are required by ordinance to bring In at the first of the year their measures and weighing devices to the sealers' office, that he may examine and cer- ifffy them If correct. The cost of 1iy- ing seems to be growing higher each wear and it Is desirable that full measures of each and every conn 1r1odity purchased by our citizens be .assured by the passage of our ord1- finances as will enable the purchasing sspublic to get honest weight and meas you will assist me in this matter, I recommend for your adoption the fol- Lowing resolution:
 Resolved, that the Ordinance com nnittee be and hereby is instructed to present to this Common Council for lerlng the following points, against ifl1e practice UfsvFeighfng nx zneasuTiug Ibv paper bags or any other way than by certified scales DrsR n eaEures, against the practice of sling fruit, nuts. vegetables ur cerea4s by liquid dnstead of dry measure; An ordinance providing that all peddlers be licensed and registered. small nominal fee to be charged. for the same. also pro- lviding that at the first of each year for on going into business the vender bring into the office of sealer of weights and1measures their measures land scales to be examined and certi- lied; also to name a sufficient pen ialty for the violation of any of these Drdinances.

CAPTURED FIVE
 CHlNKS STRUGGLED
 IN AN AUTOMOBILE E

New York. Aug. 20-The arrest by the police today of five Chinese in an automobile heading south through the Bronx, at lively speed, led immigra- tion authorities to believe that at last they had reached the solution of the method of smuggling Chinese across the Canadian border. A po- liceman noticed a touring car with drawn curtains standing at the curb. He questioned the chauffeur, Arthur G. Pierce.
 Suspicious of the mans answers, the officer pulled from the tonneau what appeared to be five bags. The supposed bags proved to be Chinese clothing in which crouched the five Chinese. Pierce said then that he picked up his passengers and white man outside of Buffalo and was to receive $25 per day for conveying them to New York. Later the police ar rested Barton Franks in a 3rd avenue hotel and he was charged with being the man who hired the machine Franks. the chauffeur and the Chinese were held.

ACCUSE FIGHT MANAGER OF
 ROBBING KAISER'S SISTER

London, Aug. 20--Manager Thomas Pritchard. of the Ring one of the most popular pugilistic arenas in Eng land, was charged at the Westminster police court today with the theft of a travelling bag from the Kaiser's sis ter, Princess Frederick Charles, of Hesse. as the Princess was saying goodbye to several royalties. The prosecutor expressed his belief that the thief had destroyed the bag and contents.
 The police thought the bag was taken from the royal car by some one who slipped into it from the side cp- posite to the platform flor1 where the crowd was gathered. It is said the bag held jewels of great intrinsic and even greater sentimental value, al- though the railway officials are arx- ious to minimize the loss.

COIFFURES

= never displays the bad taste
to wear dress of definitely antique
period and couture some centuries
less ancient.
A Louis XVI. costume was worn at
a recent dance. The hair was ar
ranged after the manner of the
times. Parted in the center, it was
crisply waved and brought down to
the ears.
A curl hung from one side, rest
ing upon the shoulder.
Many young girls still cling to the
simple, demure manner of arranging
the hair.
The hair is parted in the middle
and softly coiled at the back of the
head.
This makes it possible to wear the
close-fttins little bonnets of the
quaint old-fashioned 1880 modes.
Others part the hair from the fore
head to the nape of the neck and,
having plated it at the sides. wind
1t over the ears

As to all the other occasions when
dress in a prescribed form is usual.
too much ceremony is never expected
of the busy man, who is himself OF
consequence. This man may with
out SHINING drop in at a friends
house where a woman's tea is going
on in a we'll brushed and pressed
business suit; he may dress in the
same way for an questionable seat
at the theater; but If he is person
age of any consequence he wears his
frock coat and top hat to church, for
here the greatest respect to fashion S
decree must be shown.
But extreme neatness is the first
qualification for mems dress as 1t is
for woman's. The well-dressed man
is the man who looks always as If he
has just had a rousing good tub and
as If he spends plenty of money to
have his clothes pressed and cleaned
and his shoes blacked.

business suits worn by the man of

with which are worn plain
white or colored linen, four-in-
hand silk tie whose color accords,
or contrasts stylishly, with the
suit, Derby hat, and well-made
calfskin shoes, kept shiningly black

1t Is not correct for anybody but a
bank president, or some other mag

coat and a top hat at a place of
business. The picturesque soft hat is
also tabooed, though artists and such

For a morning call upon a lady,
this business suit may be worn in
emergency, but the man who knows
how much ''ice" clothes "cut"" would

BABY DoNr's
BY LUCILLE DAUDEr.

~ OMEONE has said that the next
best thing to knowing how to
~ do things is to know how to re-
frain from doing others. The don't
sign should be just as keenly OBJ
served as any other positive direc-
ton.
With your little baby there are
certain things that should be OBJ
served. How many mothers ignore
the fact that habit, that great factor
of everyday life. is formed each day
and begins to weave the strong, un-
breakable cable from the very hrst
day of the baby's life.
Don't let the little one form habits
that will have to be broken at some
future time and that mean needless
worriment and work for the mother.
1t has been proved by maternity hos
pitfalls that little babies can be train
ed in bodily habits to reduce all care
to a minimum Remember that good
habits and good training go hand in
hand.
Don't rock the baby or walk the
floor with the baby You will have
to keep it up If you begin. In his
little mind there is formed quickly
an association of ideas. He will
learn to expect rocking II he cries,
and he will cry.
Don't neglect to let the little one
have fresh air from the very first.
See that he is warmly clothed and
then Yentilate the room in which
he is.
