HELEN A. KELLER
 WILL SPEAK HERE
 UPON PINESS''
Contemporary Club Mem bers will Have Noted
 Blind and Deaf Person

Miss Helen Adams Keller. who is one of the most noted blind and deaf persons that ever lived, will address the members of the Contemporary club at the residence of MT. and Mrs. Jonathan Godfrey, at Brook1aWn park Tuesday evening, October 19 at 8:15 o'clock. This will be the first meeting of the season of the literary club. Miss Keller will talk on eHap- piness., She will be accompanied by Mrs. John Macy, her teacher and companion for many years, who will tell the story of her development.
 Miss Keller was born in Tuscumbias Ala. in 1880. When scarcely. two years old she was deprived of sight sence of smell and hearing by an att tack of scarlet. fever. Miss Anne M Sullivan, later Mrs. Macy, a graduate of the Perkins Institution, Boston, was obtained by Miss Keller's parents to teach her in her home.
 An exact record of her education was never kept but under Miss Sarah Fuller at the Horace Mann school in New York, and at the Wright Huma- son school, she not only learned to read and write, but became proficient to an exceptional degree in the ordi- nary educational curriculum. In 1900 she/ entered Radc1im college and suc- cessfulIy passed the examinations in mathematics and other subjects for her degree of A.B. in 1904. Mrs. Macy, whose ability as a teacher must be considered almost as marvellous as the talent of her pupil, was, through out the entire schooling her devoted companion,
 The case of Miss Keller is consider ed the most extraordinary ever known lin the education of blind and deaf persons. Her requirements, including several languages and her general culture are exceptionally wide.
 She is the author of "The Story of My Life,'' "Optimisnn,'' and s'The World Live in,'' all of which from a literary standpoint are highly rated.

ITALIANS TO MAKE
 SPECIAL EFFORT TO ,. ASSIST RED CROSS
Usual Gaiety For Columbus Day supplanted by
 Worthy Enterprise.

Special efforts in behalf of the Red Cross of Italy will be made by Italian speaking citizens of Bridgeport a celebration of Columbus Day this year.
 In the belief that no more worthy testimonial to the famed discoverer can be made than by donating gener- ously to the relief of those suffering in Italy, from the effects of the war, rep are of Italian birth, will contribute. and urge others to contribute to the aid of war sufferers.
 Besides this, the day will be gener- ally observed by persons of that na- tionality in this city. The holiday as- pect will not be emphasized as much as in other years, because of the war and the sharing here of the sorrow in Italy.
 A parade will be held at oclo' ok in the afternoon. Louis Richards will be grand marshal. Several thousand per sons, representing various societies, will be in line and the parade will take in the principal streets of the East Side, the main streets on the West Side and some of the less used. though cosmopolitan districts besides.
 It was at first thought, that because of the war, the parade would not be held. Thomas Savino, president of the day, that plans are being made rapidly and that it will be known next week how many will march and what fea- lures will mark the parade.
 Observances will be held in some of the public schools. Particularly inter esrfng will be the dramatization of Columbus struggles to get recognition for his plans his return from America and other incidents in his career, at the Grand street and Columbus schools. Miss Euphrosyne Bown, prin- cipal of the school, is directing the playlets, which have been practised several months, and in which the chill dren are taking great interest
 On the evening of Columbus Day, a dance will be held by Italian citizens in Eagles hall. Further, a banquet will be held by 100 or more persons at an Italian restaurant
 The local custom house and the de- partment of internal revenue will be closed all day on Columbus Day.

approximately 5000 drug adcts in that
