garian. All he says is: let the best ones conquer!
 And yet, it should not be the same to us, Hungarians. Our policy ought to be entirely different from what it used to be-1O, Is years ago. Had we seen to it, in years gone by, that
 our children. now grown to man hood, should not satisfy themselves with the mere speaking limit of the English, but, besides, should have gained college education, there ought to be here today, some c1ergymen, some physicians, some lawyers, some engineers, some commercial scions and some city officials, of Hungarian descent. Isn't our number large? Can
 we complain of hard times? Are there not hundreds and hundreds of us owning real estate or saving ac- counts? Ask any public school teacher, they will tell you that most of the Hungarian children are smart, this city well as the rest of the Ameri ngarians are therefore, entitled to justly expect that we should, at last, shake off indifference to higher standards, contentment in menial work, and uncertainty toward our own future. Far be it from me to make comparison between college bred children of Hungarian parentage and those of other immigrants. And yet we have to admit that quite few more children of ours ought to continue schooling after their 14th year
 Should we not care to understand and to heed this we1l-neant warning, nobody else but our own selves will be to blame, if, in years from now, children of other races will be better qualified to rule over us. Our own growing generation would then fully be justified, to bitterly criticize the indifferent parents who have been cruel enough to force their 14-year- old daughters into the stif1ing atmos- phere of a factory. So much the more as some of us could easily af- ford to wait a few more years, in <or- der to increase the educational value of our children, and, by means of higher knowledge, enable these chill dren to dpIift the name of their race.
 September, the new year of school ing, is at the door. It depends upon us, what we want De we care to re- main in the background, or is there any spirit of intelligen in us? Will it be all right if the elevation of our race here is postponed until the next generation, when children of careless parents will have learned their sad lesson. Or, do we prefer perhaps, to grasp the splendid opportunity of higher education Noffered to our chill l dren especially by this land of the l free, and by the Hungarian-IoVing | city of Bridgeport.

TRIPLETS, DADDY A BALL PLAYER,
 FILL ENFIELD"

Brooklyn, Sept. Baseball history was probably made last Friday night when three tiny boys arrived at the home of MT. and Mrs. Joseph Lerner, of 1889 Prospect place, Three-quar- ters of the inheld of a baseball team possible wee heroes of the diamond all born within half an hour.
 Now there fs' a complete Lerner infeld- Master Nathan Lerner pre- ceded his three brothers by IS months.
 2 -Four bdys, all potential baseball heroes, within 8 year and half. That's a pretty good record. isn't it?" their proud mother asked yesterday. There was no denying this. A future Eddie Collins walled in the crib nearby and the mother smiled and shook her head at the gallant three.
 tNo use,'' she admitted; $ can't tell them apart So I just labeI tn em first, second and third basenen. That's all we can do until my husband and I decide what we shall name them.,'
 Just then small Master Nathan, with all the superior wisdom of his Is months, appeared by the babies bedside. Ever since he was a day stop in the eyes of his doting parents, and now as captain of the three he showed a very unsportsrnanlike jeaI- ousy of the attention the wee strang- CTS were attracting.
 He doesn't quite understand" the mother explained. I'm afraid he's jealous too. But he'll get over it soon. It will be up to Nathan to teach the others all he knows about baseball in 9 few years. intend that the boys practice here in our own back yard. It's a great deal safer. for them than playing in the street.
 So sure was the mother of the fu- ture career of her boys that even this detail had been a. part of her dream plans. Her enthusiasm for the great national game has made her de- light in her sons doubly keen. She said yesterday that she hoped they would all be Giants some day
 That will be the year the Giants have real winning streak the mother announced proudly.
 Mrs. Lerner was attended by Dr. Joseph Baket, of 19 Montgomery street She and the trip1ets are in first rate condition. Each baby weigh ed two and a half pounds at birth The father, Joseph is a silversmith.
 MT. Lerner draws a salary of SIS a week. But he and his wife say, de- spite the size of his salary they are glad they have three more sons

Providence, R. l., Sept. 1. - The condition of Dr. D. c. Franklin Mohr, of this city and Newport, who with Miss Emily Burger, of this city, was mysterious1y shot while seated in his automobile on a dark road in Bar rington last night, was regarded as extremely critical to-day. Miss Bur ger was reported better and it was believed that her wounds would not prove fatal. .
 George W. Healis, Dr. Mohr's chauf- feur, is held by the Harrington police who are not satisfied with his declara- tion that he saw no other automobile at the time Dr. Mohr and Miss Bur ger were shot.
 Miss Burger repeated to-day the story of the affair that she told last night. She said that she and Dr. Mohr wore on the way to Newport and that their automobile stopped in Bar rington because of engine trouble. While the chauffeur wNs repairing the engine she and Dr. Mohr remained in the tonneau. She said she saw an- other car approaching from the road and as it came alongside several shots were fired at Dr. Mohr and herself Both were wounded in the head and shoulder. Miss Burger could give no explanation for the assault.

PIGEONS
 AND THE ANKLE
 WATCH HIT NY.

New York, Sept. 1-Hand-painted :, pigeons to be carried on milady's wrist, ankle watches to be worn over the new fancy high-top boot, sil- houette gowns shorter. wider and isthinner than ever. the Jonre opera. wrap, a cape named after Frances military genius, and a high crown hat worn jauntily on the side of the head tilted well over the eyes in front and revealing the coiffure astern, are just a. few of the very latest war fash ionsY from Paris that arrived with a ship load of American fashion E ex- perts and buyers yesterday aboard the steamer Espagne, of the French line.
 Charles c. Kurzmaan, the Fifth av-. enue 1niIliner, brought Il of the pig cons, colored in rainbow shades with simperisha.b1e pigments, the work of a family of Swiss artists and trained in all the niceties of social etiquette. They represent the latest fad and MT Kurzmah predicts will soon oust the pet canary that Newport grand danes have been carrying this summer.
 Before leaving Paris visited the Jenny col1ection," said MT. Kurzman. .=In spite Of the war it was greater and grander than ever The fashi ons at the resort Ezains le Bains were of the gayest, although the war has un- |doubtedly made the styles more sem sible The pigeons came from Lau- same, and before I could take them away I had to make a. generous con- tribution to the Church of St Francis and the municipality, which Jointly control theN new industry"
 The note of simplicity which has taken the place of the former elabor- ate styles is the most startling change in Paris fashions, according to Miss Frances Clyne. buyer for J. M. Cid dings Co.
 .aThis simplicity has fodnd vent in the new military styles now springing upss said Miss Clyne. Jeanne Lam win, for example, has put out many original hats and street dresses done in the cossack style, with its Puri- tanicaI .straightness of line. A typi- cal dress is one in yeIveteen trimmed in finsel and astrakhan. The striking feature of this is that it is made of one piece.
 seThere is an absolute change in the fasnions,'' she added stand no doubt exists that the high crowned hat is to be the hat of the season. With the high hat is worn the Oriental veil, which covers the upper part of the face in front, with its ends trailing ohsto the waist line at the back.
 High boots, high-crowned hats, high skirts, seem to tbe the cry. With the short afternoon dresses of net are worn large chiffon muffs and collars to match. The short skirt has even become part of the evening gown, sol that now high boots matching the gown are worn to the opera and for nal evening functions

BURNS AND BASsICK CO.,.
 DOES NOT EXPECT ANY DEMAND FROM EMPLOYEES

An eight hour day at the Burns & Bassick factory is not likely for the reason that the men are satisfied with Saturday afternoons off and 55 hours work 2 week, good pay, and athletic endeavors sanctioned by their employ CTS.
 According to sentiment expressed to-day. it is not likely any demand will be made at that shop for the change. In regard to the efficiency question. in which it has been claim ed that a man working eight hours is so much more efficient than one work ing 10 hours that the employer bene- fits in the end. a manufacturer dis euasing the Burns & Bassick case said to-day:
 Take the case of runner If he runs short distance at top speed he is much more exhausted than a man that runs a longer distance, who must conserve his energy. From that you can see. applying the case to labor, that an eight hour day is merely a short squirt that leaves the Werkmen less able 7

LABOR HEADS OF WHOLE COUN TRY
 GATHERED HERE.

r,wentv-tIlree heads of Internation- al labor ofganIza tions thfoughout the United States are in this city. That the National heads of the American Federation of Labor have been con suited and are advising these officials is not denied on any hand to-day, and in some quarters there is no hesitancy in saying that the strike will involve the whole of New England as regards the eight-hour day demand-
 New Haven. Conn.,, Springfield and Boston, Mass, nachinists working directly on munitions or on machin- cry accessories used in the rnanufae- ture .1f such munitions have already begun to clamor to their heads to se- cure this concession for them.
 It is considered that this is a gold en opportunity for labor to secure the concessions they have so long sought in the East and there is little doubt ex- pressed by international labor heads in this city tonight that the demands will be general and quickly granted by the industrial plants that are now turning out capacity.
 As an illustration of the interest which Is being taken in the situation here labor men point to the fact that of the 2s individual international unions represented the maohinists' trade may be taken as representative of the activity of other allied organ izattons. These nachinists officials reported today: J. J. Keppler in transitional vice president; Charles Seh1, international organizer; Frank Jennings, vice president; Walter Saw age, member of the general executive board at Washington; William Lar kin, state business agent, and George J. Bowen. business agent of local 30.
 Other international heads noted in the corridors of the Atlantic hotel were Vincent De FHaIco, international organizer of the Hod Carriers union; J. w. Sweek. international organizer of the Brotherhood of Electrical Workers: John Nolan of the Hoisting Engineers; J. Ryan of the Sheet Met al Workers; Samuel Carlisle. hnan- ciaI secretary and business agent of the Bridge and Structural Iron Work CTS of Connecticut and Massa- chusetts.
 It was reported that the heads of the Stewart company in New York city hearing of the unusual situation here sent a telephonic request this morning to J. J. Keppler. asking him to confer with them in an effort to settle the strike. This fact was neither confirmed or denied by that

 WALK OUT FOR HIGHER WAGES

one of the men, in explanation of this feature of the walkout. we want a standard scale of wages" It was said that the three men who were given the desired increase wore men longer in the service than the others.
 The patternmakers' craft is unusu- ally busy just now. Not man is idle, say mem bers of the craft in this city. The members of the New York division, which embraces the union patternnakers of this vicinity, say not one of their whole member ship is out of work.
 The Lake Torpedo Boat Go. gives employment to nearly 500 men. Many of these are machintsts, and the ma chinists' trade is strongly organized in the Lake plant. The patternmak- CTS said they expected organized la- Dor would give them support in the present difficulty. They added that it would be extremely difficult to supp1ant the striking patternmakers, and that their absence would at once be seriously felt at the plant where submarines are under construction for the United States government.
 The patternnaaktng shop closed Richard H. M Robinson, general when asked about the differences that have arisen between the patternmaA- CTS and their employers.
 -'I believe a complaint of some kind had been made about wages MT. Robinson declared. tI don't know the exact demands made by the men, but the plant has been closed and it will remain closed until business war rants reopening it.
