SWAP CHILDREN IN DENMARK
Curious System Of Exchanging Little
Folk During Summer Months
Scheme Works Well.

In Denmark there Is a curious sys-
tenn of exchanging children during the
summer. The country people send
their little ones to the city people, and
the latter send theirs to the country.
The state delivers free tickets. and
the schools send the children accord

their destination by the peasants and
their wives.
Treated with affectionate care by
these good hearted people. the children
often enjoy privileges they have never
known at home. There is no severe
discipline nor irksome restraint. They
return home full Of tales about their
adventures, and their mothers are de-
lighted to find them looking rosy
checked, fat, and healthy. The peas
ant women feed them we'll and often
make them fresh clothing.
The latter send their children into
the towns and volunteer guides show
them the monuments and sights. Last
year the principal restaurant keepers
at Copenhagen gave them series Of
feats and organized little dancing par
ties for their amusement. Both cate
gories OF children benefit by this mode
of exchange. which. It may be noted.

AMERICAN BEEF EXPORTS DROP TO
 STARTLING POINT

Washington, Oct. 1S-Exit the American cattle and beef as a factor in the worlds commerce. This yir- tuaIly is the declaration of the United States bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, which announced, today, that such exports had been dropped in less than a decade to a startling ex- tent.
 In 1904, the bureaus statisticians found this country sent. cattle and beef abroad to the value of more than A million of dollars during the eight months ending with August. In the corresponding eight months, this year, a scant million dollars in such products have gone to the larders of the peoples of other lands.
 Not only have exports fallen off but the United States has been forced to draw more largely on the other coun- tries for beef and beef animals, says the bureau. This demand has been met mostly by Mexico, which, in spite

OVER 75 CASES OF SMALLPOX
 AT DANIELSON

Danielson, Conn.,, Oct. 1S-s'No doubt most of the people in Danfe1son have been exposed to smallpox infection, g said Dr. George M. Burroughs, of the board of burgesses, today, in discuss ing the smallpox situation here, to- day. He thought that the danger O. further spread of the infection had departed. Three extra police officers were assigned to duty, today, to pro- tccc the quarantine which has been esta b1ished and which is rapidly being extended. The difficulty in maintain ing quarantine is that families are concealing the eases of sickness. A house to house canvass is being made and within 48 hours the health au- thorities ought to have a record. It is not thought all the 75 or 80 cases passed upon, yesterday, by the county health officer are actually smallpox.
 An infection thought to be chicken pox has been prevalent all summer. Persons afflicted were kept at home about five days and then they resum- ed intercourse and went about their usual duties.
 The warm weather had @ tendency to makethe cases light in character.
 No new cases of smallpox were found, today. The rush of persons to be vaccinated is strong and one physician was caring for persons at the rate of one a minute. About 75 per cent of the school children have been vaccinated. Schools will not be closed The health authorities be- lieve that nothing would be gained by closing them as all children have been exposed to the infection and as all will have been vaccinated by to-

Foresight Needed
 In City Planning
 Says Expert NoIen

Tn the development of conpreben- s1ve plans for such city as Brio ge- port, I wish to advocate three points: CD the exercise of more foresight; t2) the greater use of art and skill and experience; (3) the adoption of an ap- propriate goal Or ideal for town de- ve1opment," said John NoIen, city planning expert of Cambridge, Mass, in an address given in the Council chamber at the City Hall last night The address was the first to be giv- en by an outside expert under the d9- rection of the new City Planning om- mission. Continuing, MT. Nolen said: {: Whether we care about health, wholesome and refreshing recreat:1n or beauty in civic life; or whether we care only about the increase in in- dustria1 wealth and commercial pros- perity, must, sooner or later turn for aid to this subject of comprehens- i've, far-sighted, co-ordinated cits planning.
 While not a panacea, this city plan ming. it offers a safe and sure way out of our many municipal difncuIties. Especially serviceable will be city planning if applied to small towns and cities,
 .As definite program for securing action recommend the following:
 CD Provide for a survey and in- form the public as to actual present conditions, needed Improvements, and the available means Of securing the same.
 t'c2) Secure professional and technical advice on pending or proposed im- provements, especially a general re- port on city plan for Bridgeport.
 -(3) Plan ahead for needed improve meEts thus avoiding expensive mis- takes and reconstruction.
 '(4) Adopt definite and co-ordinated plans for general community better ment.
 "(5) For improvement programs ac- cording to which successive ente-- prises may be taken up in an agreed upon and logical order, according to their importance.
 .tt6) Assign particular enterprises or improvements to particular public or private bodies. In this way, impor- tant changes may be gradually ac- conlplished in water fronts, in streets and roads, school buildings, play grounds, parks, building regulations, and housing"

 A good demonstration of this will be given at the Red Mems Carnival at Eagles hall, Oct. 20th to 27th in the popularity contest for the most popular lady in Bridgeport.

 'tEverywhere'' is a series of scenes depicting the progress of America from the inception of the scheme leading to it's discovery, down to the present time. There are 800 in the cast, most ly girls, and when you see the chor- uses romp on and off the stage in the rapidly succeeding numbers, you'll be a hardened old bachelor indeed if you don't say that Bridgeport is a good town to claim as your own.
 The interest in ''Everywhere'' is growing by the hour. Practically all the boxes have been sold for the opening performance, on Monday night October 27, and many theatre parties have been arranged. The hrst night promises to be a memorable society event. There are four performances in all, three evenings, and a matinee on Wednesday.
