Davis Distributes
 Literature Dealing
 With City Planning

i Charles D. Davis head of the City Planning commission and president of l the Bridgeport Business Mems as- sociation has received a number of 1 circulars which contain much infor l nation on how city planning is un- dertaken and carried out in other cities He is having the circulars dis tributed to all who are interested in the work of the commission. The cir cl1lars were gotten out by the Nation | al Conference of city planning which has held annual meetings in large cities of the country since 1909. According to these circulars the
 most notable achievements in city planning have been revenue produc- CTS Too little Knowledge of the sub ject has resulted in the opposition of citizens of intelligence and influence who think city planning is another
 name for the "city beautiful" another way of spending the peoples money
 without adequate return.
 This antagonism is often shared by the municipal official who honestly be-
 1feves that there are enough executive
 departm ents without adding a plan
 commission.
 Besides Bridgeport, New Haven and
 New London created city planning
 boards this year. Hartford and Wa
 terbury already had these commits sions. Forty-three of the largest cities in the United States have these boards and the six largest cities of the Canadian northwest, the country which is recently and rapidly being developed largely by immigrants from the United States, have sirnilar boards.
 Most of these municipalities are now at work systematic plans through the agency of an unofficial or ganization, or under a regular depart ment of administration, or through a new department known as the city plan commission.
 The Bridgeport commission is plan ming for another public meeting when a city planning expert will make an address.

HARTFORD BANKER
 PATENTS SYSTEM FOR
 COLLECTING COUPONS

Hartford, Nov. 23-with view to simplifying matters for it's patrons, the Aetna National Bank has put into operation a system of collection of coupons under the income tax law as prepared by It's cashier, W. D. Nor gan, that is meeting with approval throughout the feast. So clear is the system that several representative New York banks have adopted it, and it is probable that many more will soon follow suit. The method is proving of much benefit to the first collecting agency and of great assist ance to the final collecting banks. These banks feel assured that the handling of December and January coupons will be carried through with much less labor than was occasioned by those due November l.
 The system has been approved by
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-11-28

the United States internal revenue de-
 partment, it has been copyrighted by
 MT. Morgan, and patents have been
 applied for. The principal feature is the coupon envelope. This bears
 on the face the name of the bank, with
 whom the coupons are left for col lection, the company issuing the cou-
 pons, when due, where payable, name of depositor and the amount of the coupons. On the rear flap is a, print ed certificate to be filled out by the depositor, in compliance with the in- come tax law. This provides for the declarations of ownership of bonds, residence and whether Or not the de- positor claims the benefit of a deduc- tion of $.... with respect to the sin- come represented by, said interest, as allowed under paragraph c, Section IT, of the federal income tax law, and a space for the total amount of ex- emption to which the depositor is en- titled. The owner must indicate whether the benefit of a deduction is claimed or not.
 Accompanying these envelopes are clear instructions for filling out the certificates, which if allowed, will pre- vent confusion. Another paper is also provided on which the list of with income tax certificates attached left with the bank for col lection is to be noted. By keeping this paper properly filled out, the de positor knows at a glance the amount of coupons left for collection, whether the benefit of deduction has been claimed or not, the amount of the tax deduction and the amount credited

THANKSGIVING AT

 Dinner.

Among those who really appreciated I Thanksgiving cheer, brought by officials of Bridgeport Christian Union, were 50 unfortunates. who were fur nished with a turkey dinner, Peter 1 Demas catering. The chapel of "the little lighthouse on Bank street, 9 never showed a. more hearty welcome than it did last night at the Thanks giving night service. There was a large attendance and there were cor dial responses to the invitation of As- sistant Superintendent Harry Kratzig,
 who led the services.
 The facilities, 38 beds in the dormf- tories, are proving entirely inadequate to- the demands. It was necessary to turn away IS last night and refer them to the police. Every night it is necessary to turn away from three
 to seven. Some of the most worthy,
 particularly cripples or elderly men,
 are referred to. lodging houses with
 the Union paying for their beds out of the treasury.

 night there were 12 who appeared this
 morning ready for work in the wood

ORIGIN OF BARREL UNKNOWN
This Receptacle for All Manner OF
Things Has Been Used Since
Time lnmemorial.

Nobody knows who invented the
barrel. It has been used since time
immemorial.
Barrels are used for all manner OF
articles, solid and liquid. There are
barrels for holding sugar. salt. apples,
potatoes and so on; for all sorts Of
oils. from the heaviest lubricants to
the most volatile products OF petro-
leum: for beers, wines. and all sorts
OF beverages. II Is contended that
the barrel is the strongest structure
OF Its size that can be made from an
equal amount OF wood. Its contents
are frequently the strongest that can
be made from liquids.
The barrel has tremendous power
OF resistance to pressure from within
and from without. A barrel set on
end will, It is claimed. support half
the weight OF a railway car while the
truck Is taken from beneath for re-
pairs. Yet the primitive barrel Is put
together without nails. screws. bolts.
or pins-lt Is entirely self-fastened.
The barrel Is smaller at Its ends
than II is in its middle. so that the

DEEP BREATHING BEFORE BED
English Physician Gives Como Simple
hsses That VIII AID Seekers

A correspondent Of the Medical
Times sends an interesting note on
deep breathing. The best time Che
says seems to be Immediately before
retiring to bed, 90, doing nothing more
bofore lying down. the habit contia-
uos and becomes iIed; the window, Of
course, should be open more or less.
After breathing In as much as Dos
sibls through the nose (out anyhow,
either mouth or noss), the nose
should be held by the thumb and fore
finger with q handkerchief for about
nftsen seconds TO prevent the escape
OF air, and thereby force the oonstitH-
snts OF the air over the system. This
should DO repeated from four to eight
lines q intervals Of about half n min
ute.
The particular proof Of this being
more effective than other methods
Is seen in the following experiences:

Cocoanut mating may be cleaned
with q large coarse cloth dipped in
salt and water and then rubbed dry.
Knives which have been used for
onions and smell Of them can be
cleaned by drawing them through a
piece Of carrot two or three times.
To remove hot water marks from
j%apanned trays use sweet oil. Rub 1t in

ish the tray with dry lour INT a soft
cloth.
When gilt frames or molding of
rooms have specks OF dirt from flies
and other causes upon them they may
be cleaned with white OF egg applied
with a camel's hair brush.
To clean dust stained alabaster or
naments. make a paste of whiting, soap

WASHING SILK BLOUSE
WHITE ONES MUST Be DEALT
WITH BY THEMSELVES.
Soap Jelly, Freshly Prepared, the Best
to use-Some Minor Points, That
Near Much, Well to Keep In
the Memory.

When the washing and ironing Of
SILK is so easily done there Is prob
ably nothing so practical and useful AZ
the silk waists. When preparing to
wash silk waists separate them into
coiors, putting the white ones alone
Soap jelly is easily prepared, and is q
valuable help. 1t should not be kept
Tor longer than a week. as It soon
loses It's strength.
Have ready three bowls OF luke
warm water. and into two Of them
place some OF the soap Jelly. In the
hrst bath plunge the waist, having the
right side uppermost. Squeeze the
soapy water gently through the fabric,
keeping II we'll under the water, and
paying special attention to the neck
wristbands and armholes. When the
waist is well washed in the FIRST water
squeeze the water out OF It. Never
wiring the garment. Turn It on the
wrong side and repeat the process of
washing In the second bath OF soapy
water. Squeeze when we'll washed.
Shak and rinse In clean, warm wa
ter to remove the soap. Then rinse
In cold water, and II possible IN run
ming water. In order to make white
SILK a good color rinse in blue water.
SIX must be ironed while quite damp
or 1t will have a rough, unfinished ap-
pearance. Use a moderately hot iron
and place a piece OF muslin between It
and he right side OF the silk. 1t has
been found that 4 hot iron yellows
SILK and gives a crimped. rough APP
pearance. Iron the silk to give It 4
good gloss. Lace trimmings on the
waist should always be ironed on the
wrong side, as lace is never supposed
to have a gloss.
