agreed that the tenants and labor
ing class generally are more atten-
tive to business and their families
better provided for than ever be-
fore. So much for its moral effect
From a Business Standpoint.
What has been its effect on bus
inessq Naturally the closing of
eleven places Of business had
depressing effect temporarily, yet
in six months we find other lines
of business in their places, so that
today we have no more vacant
buildings than we had before local
option became a reality. Now this
statement, at first blush, may ap-
pear inaccurate, since several
former saloon buildings remain
vacant. These are offset, however,
by rooms then vacant, which have
since become occupied.
An saloonist is authority for
the statement that the average re-
ceipts of each saloon was 81 ,250.00
a month-some of them much more
and few of them Lessor $780,
100000 annually for the eleven,
which, in the main, came from
that class of citizens who could
ill-afford to thus spend their
earnings. This enormous, sum,
which heretofore constituted an
economic waste, would have been
sufficient to wipe out, in one year,
the entire floating and bonded in
debtedness of both the city and
county; would have purchased the
ground, built and equipped two
warehouses like that of the Farm
ers' Tobacco Warehouse Company;
would have purchased the ground
and built two buildings like our
government building;
would have purchased the ground,
built and equipped an adequate
school in every Magis-
terial district of the county, would
have reconstructed every mile of
road in the county, and in
fact, amounts to more than the en-
tire sum taken in in taxes for city,
county, state and school purposes.
II is our belief that not less than
ninety per cent. of this sum now
goes into the several avenues Of
legitimate trade, while the re-
goes to the mail order

Marriages On Credit
 Don't Go, Assistant
 Town Clerk Declares

.tI have left my pocketbook at home and will pay tomorrow, said Robert Wilmington. a teamsterM to Assistant Town Clerk Winton after the latter had issued him a license to wed Eune- line Camp and had performed the mar riage ceremony.
 MT. Winton said: We don't do bus mess that way here, sir
 Wilmington then left the office while his bride and her sister Ethel. who was a witness to the ceremony, re- 1naiued in the town clerks office as hostages. When he returned he laid down $1, which is the regular fee for marriage license. MT. Winton ex- plained that the government tax on >the document cost something but he could not impress on Whitington's mind that he was entitled to a fee for per- forming the marriage ceremony. Whit ington at last separated himself from 50 cents more and with that amount the assistant own clerk had to be sat- ished,
 The couple were sent to the town clerks office from police headquarters by Superintendent, Birmingham. His instructions to Town Clerk Schultz were that wilmington was to procure a marriage license and was not to leave the office until a marriage ceremony. had been performed. Wilmington is 27 years of age, a teaInsther and lives at 55 Commercial street. His bride is IS, lives at the same address. She had the consent of her parents for the cer- emony

BIG CROWDS GREET
 RETURN OF WOUNDED

London, July 3O-One of the sights of London is the arrival of wounded soldiers at Charing Cross station. The crowd gathers there about o'clock every afternoon. Although not day has passed since the early part of the war without the arrivcal of a. varying number of victims of shot, shell and gas, the crowd never lessens.
 Charing Cross station used to be the brightest and most interesting station in London, for most of the travel with the continent passed there. It stands just off Trafalgar Square in the Strand, near the center of the west end shopping district. Be- fore the arrival of the Red Cross train, the ambulance motors form in a line in a narrow side street. Ordi- nary motor cars are used for the slightly wounded. and ambu1ances for the badly wounded. The platforms in the great station are kept clear, but the sightseers, who are largely women, gather in the forecourt wait ing for the big iron gates to open and let out the stream of slow nov ing cars, which pass from the side street into teh station and then out.
 People are attracted to Charing Cross less from curiosity than to show their sympathy. The men in the crowd always raise their hats as the wounded go by.

All Churches Given Representation Now
 In Parish Booklet

London, July 3o-In view of the social and religious gulf between the Church of England and the non-eon- forrnist churches, the decision of the Vicar of Wendover to give the other Protestant scots equal representation in the parish magazine has excited wide comment in England. The An glican church does not join in reiigi- .ous communion with the other Pro- testant churches on the ground they are not part of the original Catholic church and their ministers are at least in the thigh church view, merely preaching IayInen. Moreover, the established church is connected by blood and sentimental bonds with the aristocracy. But the Rev. c. c. Sharpe. vicar of Wendover, not only invited contributions from the Con gregationalists. Methodists. Baptists and other denonain nations. but publish es their meeting notices in the Wend- over Magazine.

EFFORTS BEGIN TO SETTLE TROUBLES
 IN TOSS PLANTS

Boston, July 30.-Eforts to settle the labor difficulty at the plant of the Becker Milling Machine Company ill the Hyde Park district which was closed after a strike of 3. large number of machinists yesterday, were looked for today Members of the strikers committee announced they would con- fer this forenoon with former Gov ernor Eugene N. Toss, president of the company, and would report the result of the conference to meeting of the naehinists later in the day
 Union officials also directed their at tention to the Blower works of the B.. F. Sturdevant Company in the Reade- vile district, likewise controlled by MT. Fyoss.
 The Becker riant strikers claim that the company is making large profits on machines intended for use in the manufacture of war materials and seek to obtain advance in wages and shorter hours
 The gates of the Becker plant were opened as usual this morning and ob- servers stated that about fifty men, mostly 1nou1ders,. reported for work. There was no demonstration.
 Efforts of the strikers committee to obtain a conference with former Gov ernor F,oss failed, MT. Foss refusing to meet them on the ground that the at titude of the company had not changed!

GERMANS ARE GUARDING
 BORDERS AGAINST SPIES

Rotterdam, July 3o-So that no use- full information may escape attention, the German government has instituted a very thorough system of examina- ton of travellers crossing the frontier from Holland.
 To deal with Americans there is on the staff of the comrnandant of. the station on the border three officers who speak perfect English and have a thorough knowledge of the United States and Canada One of them halls from Milwaukee, where he was edu- cated in the public schools, another from St. Louis. and the third from Montreal.
 After the traveller has undergone an exa imitation at the hands of a Ger man non-comn1issioned officer, whose chief air seems to be to find out whether he can speak or understands German, for Germans are suspicious of German-speaking foreigners. he is handed over to the three English speaking officers who entertain him lavishly and proceed to extract all the Information that they can. especially if he has spent any time in England. When, as it often happens, the travel CT scents the object Of the inquiry. the trio seek another and probably more vo1uble passenger.

 At St. Johns Church

During the month of August and for vices at St. Johns Episcopal church will be in charge of the Very Rev. J. J. Wilkins, rector of Grace church, Kirk wood, St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Wilkins is well kuoWn to many Bridgeport peo- pie. He was for many years dean of St. PauIs Pro-CathedraI, Los Angeles, one of the largest congregations on the Pacific coast. Later, at the request of the General Convention of the Epis- 'copal Church held in Richmond, Va, in 1907, he was requested to take up the work of laying the foundation for a systematic pensioning of the clergy. 100000 for this purpose.
 It was pr. Winkin's stirring appeal that aroused the whole church to the necessity of some such plan, and this has since been carried on under the energetic and wise leadership of Bishop Lawrence of Massachusetts. Aftr completing his work with the Pension Fund Commission, Dr. Will kins accepted the call to the rector ship of Grace church, Kirkwood,, St. Louis, one of the large suburban churches of that city, in one of the most beautiful residential districts.

RUSSIAN WAR BOOTS
 IN BRITISH UNIFORM

London, July 5o.-The British army has decided to discontinue the use of the puttee, which has been the dis tinguishing leg wear of the British soldier for many years, and to substi- ute the Russian army boot. This de- cision was arrived at as a result of last winters campaign in Flanders, when it was found that the cloth put tee was little or no protection against the mud and water and led to the men suffering, not from frost bitten. but from benumbed feet and legs. Large orders have already been given for boots. which will b~ supplied to the troops before winter sets in, as the War office anticipated another winter in mud and water-soaked trenches. The puttee, which is to be discarded, was adopted because of it's protection against snake bites in India, and be- came general throughout the British army, and in fact, has since the com mencement of the present war been taken up by some of the continental armies. It, however, has proved use less under conditions prevailing in Flu rope, not only because of the lack of protection it affords but because of the time it takes to put it on prop er1y.

Luke McLuka sans:

A woman is certain of heaven. But she is always afraid that her nose is shiny.
 A mans wife always tells her hus- band that the man next door always comes home at decent hour and all ways behaves himself and always takes his wife with him everywhere he goes. And this is just what the woman next door is telling her husband about the man next door,
 When she is single she believes that she pleases all fthe men. When she gets married she discovers that she can't even please one man.
 When they are first married she is surprised if he doesn't kiss her when he gets home. But after awhile she is surprised if he doesn't cuss her when he gets home.
 Why is it that most of the things that make life worth living are the very things we are told we must not dor
 Any man can talk bossy to his wife when he is out with her. But he has to take it all back when he gets home.
 A woman who is too fat gets a lot of comfort out of worrying over how awful it would be if she were too thin
 You can convert cash into experience. But it is hard to reverse the process.
 You can't guess a mans bank ac- count from the way he uses his knife when he is eating.
 One half the world wonders how the fellow next door ever raised the price of an automobile.
 When woman isn't indignating about her rignts she is indignating about her wrongs.
 After mar has busted the trusts all morning snd spent Rockefeller's money all afternoon and fought the war in Europe all night, he goes home and tells his wife that if women didn't talk so blamed much they would get along better.
 What has become of the old fashion ed dude who said '.eye-ther'' when he meant "either?'
 Anyway, when a girl has freekles you Know that she didn't paint them on.
