HOW TO AVOID THE
AUTOMOBILE BACK

The automobile is coming into such
general use that any advice to its US
ers is of general interest. A great
many people, in cranking their cars
strain their back or drop a stitch"
and if this is once started 1t usually
happens more easily another TINA.
Many people after riding for any
length of time, are tired in the back
when they get out. If this is kept up
the pain or weakness increases, until
many times the person is laid up with
what is called lumbago or rheuma-
tism. Both of these conditions are
commonly due to the wrong way OF
using the muscles of the back. In
cranking, keep the back straight, like
''the oarsman's back Bend from
the hips, swapping the crank over by
Strengthening at knee and hip, but do
not bend at the middle, or the waist
line. In sitting in the car keep the
back straight also. Get the hips well
back against the back of the seat, and
if the upholstery make the shoulders
droop, put a. robe, a cushion, a book
or anything at the hollow of the back
to prevent this. Do not SLOUGH in the
seat and do not sit on the lower part
of the spine. This reverses the nor
NAL curves Of the spine and must
mean strain, with at times much Grip
p1ing.

AUTO NUMBER PLATES.

Connecticut motorists will not have
to wait long for their new number
plates this year. The entire supply
has been received by the secretary of
states office, and will be distributed
well before the end of the present
year, says the Hartford Times.
The new issue is numbered up to
1000. The secretary of state ex-
poets that 1914 will mark an increase
of at least 1000 cars. Arrangements
have been made for supplying addi-
ton numbers so that no delays will re-
suit with late registrations.
The design of the new plate is
changed somewhat as regards the
character. Green is the background
for private owners for 1914, the let
tiers being white raised above the sur
face of the plate proper The effect
is neat and clean Manufacturers,
dealers and iverymen will use white
number plates with raised green let
tiers. Instead of the initial c at the
left hand side as on the 1913 license
plates, the abbrevtation Conn, will DIG
used. At the right hand side of the
plate the figures 1914 are disposed in
like manner.
The new markers are a pound light
er per set of two. There are four
slots at the tops of the plates for
straps and holes are drilled in each of
the four corners. Moreover the
markers are flexible.

Prescription that Soon
Knocks Rheumatism

The only logical treatment for
rheumatism is through the blood: The
poisons that settle in muscles. joints
and back, causing severe pain, must
be dissolved and expelled from the
system or there can be no relief. This
prescription from a noted doctor is
said to be working wonders all over
the country. Hundreds of the worst
cases were cured by it here last win
ter. From your druggist get one
ounce of Toris compound Gin original
sealed package) and one ounce of
syrup of Sarsaparilla compound. Take
these two ingredients home and put
them into a half pint of good whis-
key. Shake the bottle and take a
tablespoonful before each meal and
at bedtime" Results come the first
day. If your druggist, does not have
Toris compound in stock he will get
it in a few hours from his wholesale
house. Don't be Influenced to take
some patent medicine instead of this
Insist on having the genuine Toris
compound in the original one ounce
sealed, yellow package. Published by

tories of Chicago.

ATTRACTIONS
1.-THE THEATRES
THE PLAZA

So manifest was the enthusiasm of
Bridgeport theatre goers when Elec-
trice appeared here a, short time ago
that Manager Callan has arranged for
a greater and more spectacular novelty
in the electrical line to head the bill
at his Plaza Theatre today, for it was
proved that local theatre goers want
something startling, interesting and at
the same time amusing. Moffet, Lor-
raine and company have an act that
includes all three of these qualities
with the strong accent on the anus
ing. Moffet, Lorraine and company
are known all over the world the
Electrical Wizards and their dem
onstration of the power, various uses
and results of the wonderful and. in
valuable X-Ray in the first part of
their act is both interesting and in
structive to the young and old. Their
total mastery of the greatest of all
forces, electricity, places this act in
the lead of all acts of this type and
they present many novelties of both
the spectacular and amusing kind that
Plaza patrons cannot afford to miss.

LIFE OF MOTOR CARS.

How lorg will an automobile last !?
With proper care and sometimes ev-
en- without it, car will out1ast prob
ability. Almost every concern that
has been in business any length Of
time can point to one or more of its
machines that-is still on the job, after
any length of time from seven or
eight years up. There are machines
to be found everywhere that have
had years of running and appear to be
good for thousands of miles more. The
old cars were noisier than their pres
ent day brethren and of course are no
Qufeter now.
Just to cite some examples of aged
automobiles, says the New York Sun,
there is a Peerless 1902 runabout
still in service in Chicago, where it
belongs to a doctor, DR.. f. B. Cooley.
He says of it: 'In my judgment from
the condition of the steering gear it
had been driven fully $4,000 miles in
the first two yeafs of its life. I drove
it approximately 5000 miles during
the summer and winter of 1904 and
1905. In 1905 had the car in the
livery and sightseeing business.
From 1905 to 1906 it was the only
car in the only garage in South Chi
cago and did all the towing for the
garage during that time. Its aver
age mileage was from 5000 to 10000
miles year. 1t has been necessary
to take up the engine bearings three
times but it has never had a new pis-
ton ring and the cylinders have never
been rebored. It carries the original
gears and bearings throughout in the
rear axle. Its approximate mileage
to date is about 10000 miles
There is that old timer from France
which the New York police depart
ment has been using for these many,
many years. Tt is believed that this
car dates back to the late '90s and
must have $4,000 miles to it's credit.
1t is like the discovery in France,
when the oldest car of that country
was sought, that a Panhard 70 1891
was in existence and still running
there

ROUNDUP OF CHAUFFEURS
ON STRIKE, CHARGED WITH
CONSPIRACY TO 1HWART MAILS

New York, Nov. 13.3The federal gov
eminent continued today its roundup
of union chauffeurs charged with con-
spiracy to re&ard the operation of
United States malls in connection with
the recent strike. w. J. Simpson and
IT. B. Kennedy were arrested early to-
day in Long Island City. This made
nine arrests and more are expected.
investigators for the government said
they had learned that the strikers
threatened to use dynamite in their eff
forts to thwart mail transportation by
non-union men
The strike was broken by the prompt
employment of strike breakers and
those who walked out were not taken
back.

Rubber ROADS.

One of the great openings for the
increased use of rubber, says a 39r-
respondent in the London Times, APP
pears to be possible in the direction
of rubber roads. The writer decla-,., =:
Experts assure us that with rubber at
2s per pound there would be some
chance for the employment of the ma
teriaI in this way It would no doubt
be an extremely costly substance to
use, but its noiselessness, freedom
from vibration and comparative
cleanliness would be much in it's ia
vor. With the growing use of heavy
motor traffic in the congested streets
of London, 1t is quite within the
bounds Of probability that it may be-
come necessary to enforce the en-
pIoyTnent of rubber surfaces as the
only means of preserving some of our
great national monuments, as for in

ously menaced by the exa1ting vibra-

ROUTES TO NEW HAVEN.

After further investigation of the
roads to New Haven the Bureau of
Tours of The Automobile Club of
America wishes to notify the many
automobiles who will motor to the
Yale-Princeton Football Game in New
Haven, Saturday, November 18th. of
changes in conditions since former re-
ports were sent out.
The road from Westport through
Bridgeport is in fine condition. A
detour through the city of Bridgeport
is not necessary and motorists from
Westport entering Bridgeport on
Fairfield avenue may follow the old
direct route straight through the city.
Connecticut Avenue construction
work is . finished and is better than
the macadam streets. Stratford ave-
nue. is paved with wood and is open
through STAFFORD. This gives a choice
of routes and the latter is shorter and
probably better for automobile traffic.
The direct road entering New Haven
on the Milford Turnpike is quite worn
so that it is rough Automobiles
are advised to turn off in Bridgeport
or in stratford and &C by way of Der
by to New Haven. This is q far bot
ter road and has the additional adj
vantage of avoiding running through
New Haven itself.
Yale Field is on the outskirts of
New Haven on the road from Derby.

Haven, which will be crowded with
over 5000 automobiles it will be con-
venient to go the few extra miles nee
essary.
The Bureau Of Tours wishes to en-
.phasize the suggestion of the Yale
Ticket Department that automobile
parties get to New Haven as early as
possible because of the great crowds
in the streets after 1880 O'Clock. The
game is called at 1900. The Field is
a mile and a quarter from the center
of the city. With the enormous CON
gestion of traffic on Foot Ball Days
1t would probably take half an nour
to get to the Parking space near the
Field. Available ground in the neigh
borhood of the Foot Ball Field is re-
served for the parking of cars; no
charge is made but machines are stor-
ed on this territory at the owners
risk.

Tonight for the last time, Nero and

Women Shower
Roosevelt With
Floral Tributes

Buenos Ayres, Nov. 13-Inhuential
friendship was shown towards the
nnited States at the banquet given
acre. last night, in honor of Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt and the distin-
guished visitor himself was warmly
welcomed The national hymns of
the United States and the Argentine
Republic were sung and hundreds of
women in the galleries threw flowers
down upon the floor of the banquet
hall in the applause which followed
Colonel Roosevelt's speech.
NJ Frers, a member of the house of
deputies, in a speech of welcome, re-
ferred to the visitor the defender
Of the integrity of the Americas and
after paying him tribute of having
entirely dispelled any feeling of sus-
picfon that may have lurked in Latin
American countries of friendly adj
vanoes of the United States, he said:
I'VE will be justified in calling him
the great pacif1cator." In his reply,
Colonel Roosevelt defined the Monroe
doctrine, explaining that it was not
an international law but a policy OF
the United States for all America. He
said times had changed since the adop-
ton Of that policy so that the Argen-
tine Republic was now a great mod
ern nation which needs no protection
and he added:
Il hope the example of the Argen-
tine Republic VIII be emulated by
other republics and that they will all
accept the Monroe doctrine as the
