Red Cross Seals On
 Sale Here Dec. I3

Red Cross Seals will be on sale in Bridgeport on December 13, agencies being established in the pOst-o office depot, and all the prominent stores in the city. The stamps which are handsome reproductions of a model tuberculosis camp in the west, are issued by the American Red Cross Society of America, under the auspices of the Bridgeport Visiting Nurses As sociatfon. Their use upon holiday mail and packages sent to friends, not only proves attractive but fosters one of the most worthy charities yet in augurated.
 For several years the Red Cross Society has waged persistent battle against the white plague. Their method of selling stamps to defray ex- penses met with instant favor and their use has become almost universal. Not alone does their sale net the ma tional society large sums for expendi- ture in the cause but as arrangements have been made whereby a large per- centage of the money collected here will go directly to the local Nurses As sociation, Bridgeport will be directly benefited.

AVOID THE MAN THAT SNEERs
Whole Existence Spoiled for Unfortu' nate Wife Tied to Such an
 Individual.

How would you like to be tied for life to snake whose fangs slowly poisoned your blood, though 1t Is not avowedly dangerous?
 Silly question, say you?
 Cleopatra with her asp-which they say is only myth these days-is no surer of extinction than is the whole some woman who marries a man who sneers.
 So often this sheer is hidden under polished exterior. The girl does not at first realize the sting. She calls her lover critical or particular, or per haps thinks his cynicism a sign Of breeding or great intellectually.
 She begins by needing that sheer. first in trifies such as behavior or dress; later it gets in it's deadly poi son on ideals and principles. It takes brave woman and an ex- ceptionally strong-nainded one to stand out against the cynicism Of the man she loves. Unconsciously she ia influenced. Before she realizes the deadly influence her whole view of life is changed. A girl of sweet nature but not too much brilliancy, married to sneerer, becomes nothing more than a faint record of his warped vision. She may start out trusting unsuspicious, loving, but life with the sneerer leads fer to wonder if there i Is such a thing as honor and truth and goodness in this bad world.-Ex 1 change

VALUE OF FORESTS PROVED
!n Addition to Conserving Rainfal''
 They Are Of Other Aids to Agriculture.

While the rainfall of any region is dependent on dynamic influences in the atmosphere, and can be affected only in very slight degree, if at all, by the extent of that region covered by forests, it has certainly been shown that woods and forests conserve rain' fall. The briefest consideration lndl' cates the likelihood that this must be so. because vegetation and the ground covered with vegetation absorb water and allow it to percolate slowly to the lower levels, whereas on bare ground the rainwater runs quickly away to sea. But trees serve another purpose in aid Of agricuH are; because, as some recent experiments show, they act as windbreaks and shelters to growing crops. The distance to which the pro- tectiye influence of trees extends Is estimated at twenty times their height. though complete protection such as might be afforded to growing wheat in a gale, extends only to dis tance eight times the height or the
 trees. Partial protection is about twelve to fourteen times the height They also check evaporation Of rain i tall, their influence extending five times their height to windward and eighteen times to leeward, and pre-
 serve as much as 70 per cent. of mois
 ture ordinarily lost. Finally, thei1
 influence heats both air and soil, in
 creasing the didrna:. range of temper
 ature by as much as nine degrees l Eahronhai
