MAYOR WILSON AND THE PEOPLE

Human nature queer thing. Mayor Clifford B. Will
son appearing before the finance committee of the Gen
eral Assembly, asks that 100000 worth of bonds be in
flicted upon Bridgeport by legislative mandate.
He asserts that the referendum upon such matters is
failure in the city of which he is the chief executive be-
in certain election but 1000 of possible $1,000
voters passed upon the bonding questions.
The mayor chosen to office by less than 1000 votes;
considerably less.
He believes that the than 5000 voters who cast
their ballots for HIM wise honest intelligent and
progressive citizens.
But he thinks, and in effect he said it the finance
committee that the 1000 persons who voted the bond
ing questions rather stupid and decidedly inferior
lot.
The people all right when they vote the way Mayor
Wilson wants them to- but they all wrong it seems
when they vote the way he does not want them to.

Disregarding the tradition that ma
tives of New York City never amount
to anything, William Gorge Jordan,
who was born in the big town on the
Hudson forty-nine years ago today,
has not only made a name for himself
among his contemporaries, but has
also arranged plan for securing the
respect and gratitude of posterity. As
secretary of the Modern Records As
ISOLATION, Mr.. Jordan has sent to
prominent men and women two en-
velopes made of durable japanese
velluIn, to contain ttsuch genealogical
family memoranda, messages, and
photographs as may be Of interest
to posterity. These documents, with
other historical data of the time, are
to be stored in steel chests, one to
be placed in the New York library
and the other to be sent to Egypt,
where the dry atmosphere is an excel
lent preservative. Each chest will
bear an inscription directing that it
be opened century hence, in the year
2013. Special qualities of ink and
paper will assure the preservation of
the material for the historians and
genealogists of the twenty-first cen
fury.

editor of the Saturday Evening Post,

your shoulders, or how smooth or
soft the skin, if your back be fat, for
then the beauty of your shoulders is
rendered nil.
Do not throw up your hands in de-
spair if you find upon glancing in the
mirror that your shou1der-b1ades are
loaded down with fat, as there is a
way out of this trouble, If you will but
take it.
Heavy massage of the folds of fat
with the dainty lotion given just be-
low will be the means of breaking
down the fatty tissues, giving you a
back to be proud of.
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-03-06

If You wish to make up this lotion
with your own fair hands, add the
tinctures to the spirits, then mingle
with the perfumed water.
After you have massaged your fat
shoulders with this dainty compound
for five or ten minutes, discontinue
the use of the lotion and confine your
self to pinching and squeezing the
flesh with dry fingertips. Pinch
gently, else you will be liable to bruise
the flesh and thus fall heir to num-
erous black-and-bl spots
Thus does the wise woman obtain
shoulders that are prettily thin.

LITTLE BEAUTY CHATS

By BLANCHE BEACON

Very few women know that while
the shoulders, to be beautiful, must
be full in front, the back should al
ways be deIicate1y thin. Nothing adds
years and grossness so quickly to a
woman as a bulge of fat between the
shoulder blades.

NEW YORK AUTHORITIES
HAD THEIR PLANS MADE

New York Sept. 1o.-It was learned
here today that 1t was the plan of the
New York state authorities to bring
Harry *. Thaw direct to Matteawan
in the automobile which whisked him
away from the detention pen at coati
cook at o'clock this morning.
This plan embraced continuous
ride without stop in Vermont. New
Hampshire or any where else along the
way-except. perhaps, for meals until
Thaw should be safe within the walls
of the hospital for the criminal insane,
which has housed him for more than
five years.
In attempting to carry out this pro-
gram the New York state officials are
maintaining toward Thaw an attitude
from which they have not deviated
during the present proceedings. that of
guardian and ward. They have con-
tended all along that their position to-
ward him Is parallel to that Of an in
dividual guardian toward minor and
there is nothing in state or interna
tional laws to change this position.
1t was the contention of Thaw's Gus
itodians tina, they had the right. as his
legal guardians. to bring him back to
New York without asking the perms

through which they might pass on

the fact that the bill would sever the
