The Bridgeport evening farmer. [volume] (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1866-1917, 1915-12-22

TO the Editor of The Farmer. Sir:
|. In Steeplechase- Island, Bridgeport
possesses a unique and unusual OPP
portunity of giving to its people a
snlendid pleasure and recreation place.
IT is an opportunity that many a
progressive city would give a million
dollars to possess. What would Hart
ford give to have Steep1echase for a
playground?
Bridgeport having the great advan-
tage of being located on the SOUND
and having this great opportunity
should take advantage of it before 1T
is too late.
A prominent city p1anner, Arnold
Drummer, in addressing the University
club in this city said that in develop
ing a city it's particular characteristics
should be made the most of.
Bridgeport is seaside city and the
thing for it is to make as much. of a
seaside city as possible, for its future
development.
Bridgeport's chief public asset at
present is Seaside park; but Steeple-
chase Island, or Pleasure Beach. as a
great = public playground would be
equally an asset. It would pay many
times over in returns it would give to
the city
A city cannot do better than to care
for the health anr happiness of it's
working people. Such a recreation
place would make for health and hap
piness and attachment to the city. = 1t
would also mean better workmen, for
health and happiness make for better
workmen
It would also prove a great moral
asset for it is universally accepted
that innocent health giving out door
pleasures tend to morality by crowd
ing out evil thingE.
It also would be great advertise
ment for Bridgeport.
It should be open to the people
seven days in the week, of course un-s
der proper. policing and no liquor
should be sold there.
The cost should be largely taken
care of by selling the privileges for of
course there should be at such resort
all kinds Of fun-naking and fun-g Civ
i opportunities for young and old
Let Bridgeport, before it is too late,
secure this splendid advantage for its
working people.

The New Comet Is Whitaker


 No. those two red lights over the mountains south of town are not new stars or comets, as many people sur missed last night. They are merely rel lights on Vic Hannys sign "Hanny's Hats Always On Top, placed at the top of the ladder from which the De mon Dare DeviT' Whitaker makes his lean for life every night at Riverside Park. Crowds of people in the resi- dence sections were sure they had dis covered new twin stars until the torch was applied to Whitaker and he leaped into the air,a mass of flames and then they knew it was a new comet come to life From many places in town the blaze could be seen just as he leaped and disappeared behind the trees, but as the attraction is a f, ee one offered by the park without extra charge, most of the people went down where tee entire performance could be seen from tn time he jumped from the platform at the top of the ladder until he sailed and extinguished he flames which had burned his clothes almost to cinders. Whitaker is appearing at the park every night, but as his act is the most dangerous public exhibition in the world today, most people are going 10 see him now for fear he may any night dash his br7'ns out agains. the sides of the small landing tank, which is only three feet wide, eight feet long and

! ADJUSTMENTS 1 COLISEUM LAUGHS AT
 HEAT WITH JIMMY LEE

James r. Lee has entered upon his third week at the Coliseum with My Uncle From Japan" as the opening attraction. It is one of the funniest farces yet produced by the capable company and gives the star comedian and his support abundant opportunity to distinguish themselves. Mir. Lee played the part of the uncle. and as usual kept the house in roars of laughter. Frank Nack, Tommy Burns. Lew Matthews, Marie Barbier and Phyllis Eltis all had good parts and they played them for all they were worth. The songs were new and catchy and the dances not only live " but pretty and well executed.
 This company is making new friends every day and Madelaine Lee is fast becoming one of the most popular prima donnas that ever came to town. With all the snap and go the chorus puts in their work 1t is not surprising that it Is so much appreciated by the patrons of the house.
 My Uncle From Japan" will re- main at the Coliseum for tonight and tomorrow and there will be com plete change of bill on Thursday.

 A and Selling, with the corresponding reduction of Over head Expense when divided over so many classes, is what gives to the Goodrich Factory the iowesf Cosf for Tire Manufacturing of the highest Grade.
 The Responsibility to so many lines of Dealers and Consumers, in so many lines of Trade, is what makes 1t SO sealous in guarding the Quality and Value of each Product that bears the Goodrich name-so slow to launch new things until thoroughly tested so keen to make Success sure and continuous, rather than dramatic and transient.
 And of all these Goodrich Products, that which best expresses the meaSure of our capacity, our Experience and Good-faith is the Goodrich Satey-Tread Tire.
 It does this through giving the greatest Mileage and Residence in the field, at the tanesf Cost, per Mile, to Users.

 with others of considerably higher price, you will then understand our Pride in Goodrich Standards and Ideals.
 A pride which results inGood- rich Tires being made better each rear than they have ever been, and improved with each months output.
 The Goodrich Safety. Tread Tire today gives more Mileage than our own (or any other) blain-Tre0d Tire, with only about 59o more Cost to us and about 5 51o more price to yon than that of our Plain Tread.
 This, in lire with Goodrich Co. Policy-which is to base it's charges only on it's low Manufacturing Cost, nOmatter how much more price could De obtained for the greater efficiency 1t develops from same materials.
 Pride which results in this, concerns YOUR Pocketbook.

 Roger IS expressing a lot of amuse- ment over our christening his team the N1iSfits. But it was one of his own apt phrases that stuck in our conscious ness. and thus became the regular ap- pelation of the leaders. Since pulling up to the top. however. Laveen cares not for the cognomen. Neither does anybody admire the name of AIl-Stars for Whipple's cellar champs But it is proper to remind everybody that the term All-Stars was also not of our in ventiOn. but the donation of somebody who rightly figured that players like Blair. Fitzgerald. Whipple. Wakelin etc were deserving Of that distinct title Inability to win any matches has not changed the name. however. In fact being all stars is one of the causes of the unanimous defeats suffered by the Whipples. Everybody on the team plays a brilliant individual game. and falls down woefully on team work

 Doris is the kind of a swimmer who can grind along for long distance. and then when most racers would be losing their pep, put on the grandest little sprints you nearly ever saw. IL is his confidence in his ability to spurt toward the end that makes him one of the most feared tank men in the com munity.
 This astonishing youth also holds long distance record at the Y. He has svum 23S lengths of the sixty foot pool without 9 stop. This was not for a time record, however
