ANDREW |. RIKER
 lNVENTS INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE
Is simplification of Type Now In General Use and
 Has Better Points

Andrew L. Riker of Bridgeport, head of the Locomobile Go. of Amer ica and member of the Naval Ad- visory board of the United States has invented an internal combustion en- zine that is said to be novel in the history of automobile engineering and likely to have great use in the future. Patent 1,156,038, applied for March 24. 1910 was issued for the engine at the patent office, Washington, D. C.. on October 5.
 The claims show that the engine is similar to the common type, but it has a single intake and exhaust port located at the top of the cylinder, thus greatly simplifying the present method of combustion.
 It is believed that MT. Riker's pro found knowledge of internal combus- ton engineering will be much sought by the board members who will be asked to evolve some method where by better propulsion methods for sub marines may be attained.
 Other Bridgeporters to procure pat ents in October are Gilbert w Good ridge of the Bryant Electric Go, who has invented 8 new insulated pull socket chain, Alfred Apt, of Warner Brothers, is designer of a new cor set and Alexander McNab who has contributed new boiler circulator to the mechanical world. Edward J. Madden, a local fireman, has invented new letter stamping machine.

TWO LODGES OF B'NAI BIRTH IN
 JOINT MEETING
Members of Harmony and Abraham Lodges In liar
 monious Session

The first joint meeting of Abraham and Harmony lodges. of the 1ndepend- ent order B'nai B'rith was held last night at the Park avenue temple with the result that a. closer relationship will have been esta blished between the lodges which have been acting in- dependent1y for the past three years.
 It is believed that a, result of the conference last night joint meetings of the lodges will be a rule rather than the exception and that the Jew ish community wfA be greatly bene- f1ted by the closer affiliations.
 Hon. A. B. Seelenfreund, Of Chi cago. secretary of the Constitutional Grand Lodge, B'Nai B'rith was the speaker of the evening. He is a. deep scholar as we'll as an eloquent speaker. His address upon the work being done by the Jewish people of America to- wards the aid of the suffering sol diers abroad, without consideration of creed or race, deeply affected his au- dience.
 President Herman Asher, of New York, head of the district grand lodge, also addressed the meeting. Max Co., hen, president of Abraham Lodge and Maxfmillian Stein, president of HaF mony Lodge both spoke upon the work done by the lodges locally and the feeling that exists at the present L1In0, dIAO A0ApI05SS0 I4AO eAooC cSAANO that both lodges would work in com plete harmony in the future for the upbuilding of the order. Great ap- pIause marked the conclusion Of each address.
 Rev. David Levy presided After the meeting a reception was held at the Hotel Lorraine.
 The committee of arrangements which aided, in bringing the two lodges together for the first time in many years were: Max Cohen, Maximf1fan Stein, Benjamin G. Sha1lett, Joseph C. Shapiro, I. J. Cohn, L. J. jF'fnkelstone, Phillip GIassner, Isaac Moss. Henry Greenstefn, Benjamin Oelsner, J. B. Klein, Sigmund Joewith, Joshua Melt ger, Charles H.

President Sends Huge Bou- auet to Mrs. Galt's Home From White House Gar densA Officials Send Con- gratulations.

Washington, Oct 7.-President Will soh and Mrs. Norman Gait, whose en- gagement was announced last night at the White House. will be married pro bably the first week in December. The ceremony will be private at the home of the bride New Hamp- shire avenue near Dupont. Circle.
 Plans for the honeymoon have not been completed, but it was indicated that the trip might include a visit to San Diego Exposition and the San Francisco Exposition, to which the President has been invited many times.
 Early today a messenger carried a great Kouquet from the White House conserk katories to Mrs. fGalt's home. Mrs. Gait besieged by friends coming to offer congratulations and by inter- viewers, denied herself to ali but her closest friends and declined to add anything to the simple announeement. formally issued at the White House, saying only that she and heyPresident of the United States were to be mar ried.
 Tomorrow. party given by Col ~-----v4 House. will be only the first of many events which. are being planned for the presidential party before the wedding.
 Invitations and congratulations be- gan pouring into the White House of fees today in such volume that a special staff of clerks was prepared for assignment to social work, only for the next two months.
 Col. House, one of the few intimate friends who~S has known what was. coming planned his house party some time ago Other close friends are planning pre- nuptia1 affairs and the White House, which for more than year has heen observing a period of mourning will begin to take on it's old aspect of social activities
 The time of the wedding, coming al most at the opening of Congress and the returnys ys0f, the diplomatic corps to the capital from the summer embas- siss, will signalize the full swing of the Washington social season, which. now will include the usual state din- ners and receptions in the executive mansion.
 , President Wilson went to his desk early today as usual and was greeted with contradictions by the White House staff and callers, who began arriving frnm ediately. He received the congratulations with smiles and words of thanks and evidently was a happy man. His first caller was As sistant Secretary Phillips. of the state department, Secretary Lansing fol- lowed and then Senator Saulzbury, of Delaware All the members of the cabinet sent their congratulations early in the day and some of them called later.

HURTS TEACHERS MORE
 THAN CHILDREN
This Fact Does Not Deter Them From Giving Cor

DEPORTMENT BETTER
 IN LOCAL SCHOOLS
Efficiency of Slawson's Methods Is Demonstrated
 By Results Here

This hurts me more than it does you, Johnnie"
 What was once a hypocritical asser- tion generally considered part of the ceremony of administering corporal punishment in the public schools, is fast developing an unpleasant appear ance of truth in Bridgeport
 Not. long ago, Samuel J. S1awson, the new superintendent of schools in Bridgeport, surprised the up-to-date residents of this city by his declara- ton that he prefers spanking to whip ping with sticks or straps, for obstrep- erous children.
 Many smiled. Some scoffed- Others, however, waited. The result has been that the old fashioned system of whip ping has made corporal punishment less prevalent in local schools.
 The humiliation of being placed across a teachers knees and of being spanked, either privately or in the presence of cIasstnates, is proving too Ft.AW, she don't hurt!' He used to rob resin on his hands in the fallacious be- lief that the efficiency of the wallops he received with ruler was lessened thereby. In fact, he used to boast of having been whipped and he g1oried in the fact that he received several more slaps than did somebody else.
 Then again, teachers say. the sense of heIplessness instflled in a refrac- tory youth, when his feet are off the floor, has a salutary effect. All things considered, the boys are beginning to dread the new application of the old form of punishment. ~
 When. however, the teachers tell their pupils that the unwelcome duty hurts them more than it does the pu- pils they are telling something of truth. Corporal punishment is apt to
 
 eause the boys are acting mors beABe- fully, and the process of spanking wears out the teachers. Most of them find it hard work
