 Westport, Sept. 21.-This peaceful town is in the midst of a mad dog scare and as result of several chil- dren being bitten, all dogs have been ordered muzzled. Medical Examine CT Dr. Frederick Powers has given this order in order to prevent any further trouble. It has also been ordered that all dogs with out nuzzIes found on the streets shall be shot
 Thomas Hubben and Miss Mary Benson were bitten yesterday by dogs owned by w. L. Taylor. It is feared that the boy is in a serious condifion n and he has been sent to the Pasteur institute in New York for treatme ellt. The girl is at her home here and it is said that she is not in a. dangerous condition.
 The dog was afterward shot. In order to discover if the animal was mad, the authorities sent the dogs head to New York. Physicians at the Pasteur institute reported that the animal was undoubtedly mad Taylor owns three other dogs and these will probably be shot if they show symp- toms of madness.
 A dog belonging to Herbert Pres ton was shot this morning The peo- pie here are thoroughly frightened d about the matter and following the recent scare in Bedding where sever al were bitten, the present affair arouseS greater alarm.

GOODSELL'S FINAL PLEA
 AGAINST HERRING SYSTEM

The Scofe1d sewer system up to the present time is the one system that has wfthstood all demands made upon it. without the necessity of continually digging up and rebuilding the same, in comparison to all other existing con- ditions in OUT city.
 Bridgeport has from twelve to ff- teen miles Of water front along it's various in1ets. The dilution of sew age from the present sewer outlets into so large body of water as Long Island Sound is almost inf1nitesimaI in it's po1luting effects. making therefore a practically perfect sanitary sewer condition for our city.
 For the past twenty yers the Sco- field Sewer System has well met the ticular, ir all sections ot the city. save for the natural wear and tear, and two or three isolated places which can be easily remedied. And by re- ha bilitating the Scoheld Sewer System to it's former condition; by removing the present small sewer connections from the main trunk sewers where such ridiculous connections have been made the future of the city Will be well provided for.
 No other city has a better average natural drainage whole for it's present trunk sewer system than Bridgeport. If we allow that the tide ebbs and flows on an average from two to three miles each hour, and that it takes six hours for the tide going out, it would mean that all the sew age coming from our trunk sewers, would be carried out into Long Island Sound distance of from twelve to fifteen miles on each outgoing tide, and this would so thoroughly spread and dilute the sewage over so large an expanse and volume of water&as to never be heard of again
 Natures rains have cIeansed our present sewer system in the most per feet manner. No flushing by artifi- cial means could equal the same, or re- suit in near as perfect sanitation as we now enjoy.

 Immediately following the return ing of the indictment Assistant Dis trict Attorney Fielding turned to the grand jury and informed them that there would be nothing more to con- sider until Sept. 30.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1912-09-21

Statistics show thet from the stand. point of public he1th the death ratio for Bridgeport is lower than the av-I craze for cities of its size elsewhere. The issue of bonds now called for and the unlimited amount of honda that must be called for in the future. could have been avoided. and no ex- tra hardship upon -tl1e taxpayers would. have been made, if $50Oo0O worth oe. sewer bonds had been issued. as ws@i recommended for the extension Of thal present Scofe1d Trunk Sewer Systsnz< to such distances, as would have been necessary to provide outlets for an. lateral sewer lines needed from time to time for long period Of years.
 New York City is using the sanG, system of com mbined sewers for it's i've. millions of people that we do; and, many other cities in the United Staten7 ranging from 100000 to 100000 popu-' lation are using the same combined sewer system.-and the health Of an these cities is of the best.
 Is it possible then, when our city has many times better facilities for sewering, that any could be made. that in any sense would better our present conditions?
 SHOULD FRANKLY ANSWER <sA HUNDRED TIMES NO"
 Common sense and our experieDcs with the present Scofield Sewer Sys- tenn have fully demonstrated the fact that it is much wiser to let well enough alone. than to experiment and tinker with a foreign engineers plans and pay millions of dollars for his er- TOTS and mistakes. What difference in the world does it make to him one way or the other. so long as we paid him for his plans, which was all he was locking for or cared for

Why We Are Eiuht-Handed.

One of the professors at a we'll
known agricultural college has figured
it out that if you are left-handed it Is
a sign that your ancestors were not
good fighters.
Most persons are right-handed,
says he. "Only one in every twenty
is left-handed. Why are people right
handed? They may have been born
that way, it is true; but why?
Away back in the beginning the
chief occupation of man was fighting.
In battle he carried a shield in one
hand and a weapon in the other. 1t
was not much work to carry the shield,
but the quick action required by the
hand and arm which did the fighting
soon developed that arm. 1t also de-
veloped the nerves and the half of the
brain that governed the right side of
the body. Those who shielded their
left side-thus protecting the heart
were the ones who usually came out
victorious. Down through the ages
this selection continued, the right
hand gradually becoming more prof.
cient."
