l Science and religion, the irrecon- | c1lables, will bury the hatchet to-day | and join in celebrating the centenary
 of the birth of David Livingstone, the l immortal Scotch missionary and ex- | p1orer- The names of Livingstone and Stanley, his journalistic rescuer, will forever be coupled in the history
 of Africa, for to them must be ascrfb-
 ed much of the credit for the fact that the torch of civilization now sheds it's light in nearly every part of
 the former Dark Continent At times it's rays have not been benefi- cent, as witness the Belgian atrocities
 in the Congo, but civilization may be trusted to provide a remedy for the evils it causes,
 Geographical societies throughout
 the world, and especially in English
 speaking countries, will observe the Livingstone centenary to-day, and many missionary societies will also
 honor the memory of of the most
 distinguished and devoted of their
 workers. In comm ern orating the ca
 reer of Livingstone it may well be
 proud of the fact that it was in Lam arkshire that Livingstone was born
 on March 19, 1913, of a family typf-
 cal of all that is best among the poor
 and se1f-respectfng number families
 of the land of Burns. Welshmen may
 point with pride to the Welsh birth of Henry M Stanley, the de1iverer of the
 great missionary. It was the jour- nalfstic enterprise and humanitarian spirit of James Gordon Bennett, an American of Scotch descent, which led wise the hickering flame of his spirit might have been quenched forever and swallowed up in the darkness of Af- rica, leaving no trace. Lastly, it was the missionary enthusiasm of the Eng fish that inspired Livingstone to rn- dertake the spiritual conquest of a, forbidding and unknown land
 The Livingstone centenary has led to a tremendous revival of interest in African exploration and missionary work. Stan1ey's book, How I Found Living gstone,'' has been brought out in new editions on both sides of the Atlantic, and his work '1n Darkest expedition for the relief of Er11in Pas11a, is also selling in, large quanti- ties.
 Livingstone graduated in medicine at Glasgow in 184O, and was sent to Africa by the London Missionary So- ciety. He had hoped to be appointed to a station in China, but the fates were kinder to him than he knew in the hour of his disappointment. Af-| ter sixteen years of exploration he re- turned to England, but the Spring of 1858 found him back in Africa as head of a Zambesi expedition. His wife, who had been his companion on many hazardous trips through the jungle, died in 1862, and in the following year the heartbroIzen man went back 70 England. But Africa had claimed him for it's own, and in 1865 he again set out into the wi1ds. Deprived of supplies, worn by fever, fearful dys- and dreadful ulcers, Living stone was at the point of death when Stanley reached him in 1871. Two years later, at I1a1a, on Lake Bong weoIo death claimed him while he was on his knees, praying.

 Shooting goats is the greatest sport in the world,'' she said. fIt beats other kinds of shooting, fishing or swimming; it's the thing that sets your pulse in motion and your heart throbbing; it's the first step in gain ing and retaining happiness"
 And containued the Count, "she has killed fourteen goats. She shoots with her left hand and holds her right in the middle of her chest, but at that she's pretty clever"

WHAT BRIDGEPORT NEEDS.

It is interesting administration. It's city gneer has reported that there nsuperable obstacles in the way of bridge at State street But it keeps aatg the folly because the project makes another way to spend money We must spend money, you know, be- that is and efficiency Since the citizens
 have refused to vote themselves into great public debt they must be thrust into that debt without their consent Debt for State street bridge good other kind of debt and the thing goes merry What the city really needs large and costly police station for the large and costly police force. There should be tirng for the heutenants assembly hall in which the patrolmen and their superior officers meet together to be instructed in cvics There should be getting out the vote Special instruc- hon in the art of getting them to vote right must be obtained No expense should be spared that every policeman does his duty in the next primaries. Every must remember who made him, and he must show gratitude in the number of voters voting right that brings to the polls.
 % Away with the State street bridge, say we and up with the police station and the department of political education.

The first Photographic picture was exhibited in Munich 115 years ago to- day, March 19, 179s, and was the in vention of A1ois Sennefe1der, who had been working on the process for over two years. The Germans called the are ''po1yautography,'' and the name lithography was not applied until it was introduced into England in 1901. Alderman, an Englishman, made many Improvements, as did Enge1- mann and the inventor, Sennefelder, who died in 1S41. Printing in col OTIS was first commenced in 1455, but the first successful process for color printing, called chromo-lith ography, to be applied to pictures was the in vention of George Baxter, in 1S36- G. c.

Since then the art of color-printing has been so improved that even the cheapest pe- riodicals issue far better prints than

One of the wea1thiests of English men is the second Duke of Westmins- ter, who passes his thirty-fourth mile stone to-day. The Duke is an enthu- siAstic poloist, and it is said that. he will spend a ha1f-rni11ion dollars, if necessary, to get possession of the in- ternationa1 cup, now held by Ameri- can poloists. He will spend some time in New York this Summer. The Duchess of Westminster is a sister of the Princess of P1ess and of George Cornwa1lis West, whose wife, the for mer Lady Randolph Churchill, of American birth, recently sued for a restitution of conjuga1 rights. The Duke and Duchess had only one son, who died a. few years ago, and the Dukes uncle, Lord Arthur Grosvenor, is now the heir to the title and the vast estate, which includes 500 acres in London and 30.OOO acres in Chesh- ire and F1intshire.

THE INCOME TAX.

The Democratic party preparing to use the income tax amendment which has just been adopted by the incomes up to $5OO0 and to lay of per incomes above $5OOO This is fair start but would be better if the principle of the graduated tax might be realized Tt would be much better the tax slightly, the income increased until insta- where the income great and profitable per cent might be taken
 The income tax has this advantage It very diff cult to send 1t back the Tariff taxes on the other hand paid entirely by the consumer according to the amount consumed by him of the taxed articles
 which is in contradiction to the principles of scientific ation, which require taxation according ability the taxed person to pay.

UNCLE SAM IN ENTANGLEMENT
 ON LAND TITLE

Washington, March 19-Conflict has arisen between the federal government and the local government Of the Dis- trict of Columbia, over title to land on which now stand many public build ings. An investigation under way by the District government to determine the title to property has resulted in the discovery that many local govern ment buildings are on ground owned by the federal government, while in numerous cases the reverse is the case. When the investigation is completed the land probably will be appraised by a joint commission and the transfers will be made on a sale basis.
 The inquiry is an exhaustive one, and in some cases the investigators have gone as far back as 1767 in their search One interesting feature de- ve1oped was the fact that some of the lands for school purposes were ac- quired through lottery schemes while others were snapped up at public auc- ton sales.

pr. George Herbert Palmer, profes- sor of philosophy at Harvard, begins his seVenty-second year to-day, and has been a member of the Harvard faculty for forty-three years. Dr. Palmer is one of those who vouched for the statement that a Harvard pro lessor has spent twenty years withou sleep. It is said that this educator when 8 victim of insomnia and threatened with insanity a score of years ago, discovered the lost instinct which enables him to do without sleep. Dr. Palmer has long been a close friend of the sleepless professor, who rests in the twilight state" without losing consciousness, and who, despite the deprivation, is alleged to have "a keen and virile mind.''

Percy Il1ingworth, chief whip of the Liberals in the British Parliament, is a comparatively young man, to-day being the forty-fourth anniversary of his birth. He is a Cambridge man, a barrister. and was formerly captain of the Westminster Dragons. Since he entered parliament seven years ago ne has risen rapidly in the esteem of his Liberal colleagues, and his eleva- ton to the position of chief whip, who performs the non-official but highly important duties of looking after, the interests of his party, and of securing the attendance of as many members as possible at important divisions, was a marked recognition of his ability.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS
Rest Your Hair
BY BLANCHE BEACON

Do you ever think of granting your hair a. short respite during the day from pins and combs? You need not reply as know beforehand that your answer would be no without a capital N.
 This is a pity as hair needs to be rested once in a while, resembling in this particular the eyes. Those wise women who make a practice oe giv- ing their tresses a daily rest from hairpins and bands and pads, are gen orally women whose hair is 1uxuriant and g1istening.
 Why not decide to give this new beauty treatment a trial? It will cost you nothing to loosen your hair and it will undoubtedly do much good.
 ftHow does one rest the nair?'' que ries a far voice. I will tell you.
 Every morning after breakfast, al- low your tresses to hang loose and free. No ribbon must confine them. No hairpins fasten them.
 When your various household tasks are finished, and you are at leisure to think of your hair needs. I advise sitting down in ''comfy'' chair and rubbing strand after strand of your hair between the palms. This bur nfshing process causes the hair to glisten and shine in a most fascinat- ing manner.
 Wear your locks unconfined until the noon whistles blow, then dress them in some accustomed way, and run down to luncheon with an easy conscience.
 Do as say each and every morning for the next two months and you will find that your hair will respond to the treatment. From being dull and fad

ABOLISH RUNNING BOARDS.
Rristol Press ]

Naturally the trolley companies ob- ject to a law -forbiddfng people rid ing on running boards of cars. It does seem rather absurd, about as much so as placing a chair in pub lie place and forbidding any person to sit in 1t. But the trolley people have sure and certain defense against such a law. They can abo1- ish cars with running boards and run more cars to accommodate crowds. That is the sane solution from the standpoint of the public. The run ming board car is a crude and antique thing at best.~

DR. VAN sICKLE's ADVICE.

On further scrutiny of the report of James H. Van Sickle relative to an of the Bridgeport school svste1n beautiful gem of financial thought which has had leading part the utterances of Brdgeports municipal spenders since Mayor Wilson made hls eraI address, advocating large debt and low tax rate.
 It was the mayor and the mayors Warnerized plat form which first enInciated wholesale way the phan- tasmc theory that living shnt the cost of their public works upon somebody else, and escape payment
 Two the mayor sent a special message to the board suggesting that the mill school tax be the cost of schools charged to postery GOO all but five dollar bi little later reiterated that the living should shuffle off financial responsibility for public and insinuated that they COULD
 Now comes Dr. Van Sickle with the same touching piece of financial unwisdom as follows:
 FUTURE GENERATIONS MAY PROPERLY BE ALLOWED TO SHARE THE COST OF IMPROVE MENTS AS PERMANENT AS SCHOOL HOUSES"
 Dr. Sickle n educator. His report devotes many pages to discussion of arithmetic There rous dealing with commercial work and commercial arithmetic
 We venture to say that no pupil of the Bridgeport schools years of age over, but with pencil prove few minutes that the living MUST pay for their school houses
 If this true-and it is true-it would to be to Dr. Van Sickle tell WHY s'future generations should PAY AGAIN.
 We who build the schools must pay for them. Why ask future generations to pay for them again. How often does the learned gentleman suggest that the schools should be paid future generations living will pay and the next generation If the bonds hundred year bonds the living will pay and future generations will pay about four times
 We fear Dr. Van Sickle is not expert munich pal finance We afraid he relterates the financial timents thoseh expert he who are guided by lively the largest possible public debt consistent with the longest possible term public office.

CONSTRUCTION TO
BEGIN TOMORROW
Materials Are Being Assem-
bled to Build Houses
at Fairfield

Following the official order from New
York, 1t was announced yesterday that
the officials of the American Steel and
Wire company have planned to begin work
on the 75 residences at Fairfield tomorrow
morning. 1t was announced that ma
terials are being assembled as quickly AS
possible and tnat workmen are being en-
gagged to handle the jobs. The work will
be done under the general direction. of C.
w. Lutz and c. II. Morgan.
The houses, 1t was announced. will cost
on an average about $25O0 each. or the In
vestment at Fairfield will be approxi-
mately s225. 900. That money will be spent
at once irrespective of the price of lots
which are already owned by the Tennes-
see company, which concern is to build
the houses. The lots owned by the Amer
lean Steel and Wire company are az yet
under option, which is expected to be ex-
ercsed within tho next few weeks
The houses will lie scattered oyer the
city of Fairfield The lots are in all parts
of the city and as a rule there will be. iio
similarity of the residences. for obvious
architectural reasons. The houses will
possess every modern convenience and
will be well constructed.
The houses will differ in interior and ex-
terror treatment very much. and In The
collection will be found residences to- suit
the fancy of ,ne most exacting skilled
worker.

WIRE MILL MAY BUY
ELECTRIC POWER
Understood Alabama Power
Co. Line Is Being Sur
veyed to Plant

Although the American Steel and Wire
company has heretofore arranged for un-
usual electric power facilities. it was un-
derstood YESTERDAY that a power line was
being surveyed to the plant by the Ala
bama Power company engineers and that
very probably the American Steel and
Wire company would use the hydro-elec-
trio power rathe, than generate it's own
force.
The statement came from Ensey last
night that a party of engineers for the
Alabama Power company was ,nga ged in
surveying the hne from the already sur
veyed main transmission line to Birmins-
ham across to Fairfield. The distance is
said to be about one-half mile. The engi-
neers, according 70 statements made, were
unwilling to say anything about their
work, but said she surveying party was
en- route to Fairfield.
The Alabama Power company has an
nounced in contracts that the power rate
In Birmingham Will be 0.4 per hour for
power in excess of $4,000 kilowatt hours.
and that price for all power consumed
above that amuunr. 1t is gathered that
the American steel and Wire company
has been at least partially convinced that
such price is lower than power can oe
made individually and the power will
therefore be use1.
If the American Steel and Wire com
pany determines to use the hydro-electric
power. that step will be convincing proof
of the cheap rates that Birmingham will
enjoy for electric energy when that line
is brought here January 1.
