BUILDING A FORD "RACER"

Fred Ramer is building a Ford
racer. He has had aluminium pistons
fitted into the regular Ford engine
and has cared up the differential
to accommodate all the speed posi-
BILE. Where or when Fred intends
to race we have not learned, but if
he can make the remodeled car go
swifter than his usual pace with
the old one, the others will sure
have to scatter to keep out of his
way.

MONDAY, MARCH 20, 1918.
Copyright, 1o15.)

Mars and Jupiter are strongly ad-
verse during the early hours today
but, according to astrology, their in
fiuence is overcome by the benefic
sway of Uranus and Venus.
This rule should be particularly
auspicious for whatever relates to
romance. Love affairs are subject to
a powerful sway.
Women should make the most OF
business opportunities as we'll as
sentimental oVertures.
Under this configuration ventures
in speculation or new avenues Of
activity should prosper
While wooers may be unusually in
sistent during this government of the
stars, they may be treacherous. This
year of war will be marked by a
peculiar increase of susceptibility to
emotional experiences, the seers say,
and they who bell themselves i'm
mune will be not less foolish than the
young.
Scandals and libel suits will multi

Storms of extraordinary violence

SUNDAY, MARCH 2l, 1915.

According to astrology, this Is a day
in which it is wise to conduct the
routine affairs Of life. Neptune and
the Sun are in benefic aspect and
Mercury is strongly adverse.
1t should be an auspicious time for
making visits and associating with
friends whose favor will be helpful,
whether In business or in society.
The sign is a fairly good one for
making plans, provided nothing is
done toward realizing them.
Clergymen may find the influences
inimical to satisfactory effects in
preaching, but the wealthy should be
in a mood generous toward philan-
thropies.
A move toward the establishment
of governmental employment for idle
workmen is foreshadowed. This will
cause severe strife among Legislators,
but IL will be a necessary measure,
the seers predict.
During the malign sway of Mercury
the mind is often seriously affected.
Uncertainty, indecision and sensitive
ness are likely to produce friction
with friends and relatives. Special
attention should be given to efforts
toward mental harmony.
The moon Is in sign today be-
lieved to cause quick transitions of
mood and decided fluctuations Of en-
ergy.

Much to Gloria's disgust, she
blushed hotly.

Gloria was so indignant that she
flounced within the cottage to toll her
troubles to Martha. Had she waited
until Freddy reached the tent she
would have seen the delightful meet
ing of the two men and would have
heard the laughter that followed. She
did, however, hear the returning foot
steps of her brother, and, looking out,
discovered that he was coming arm
in arm with her gardener.
Presented to her gardener in a most
formal manner by her brother, she
smiled the smile that Randall remem-
bered as having fingered on the first
day of their meeting in Gloria's eyes
"You are a pair of dipp.es," was
Freddy's comment in a disgusted
tone.
II done knows he was a gentle
man." Martha said, as she stood in
the doorway watching developments.

next that you two have fallen in love
with each other" there was a hint
of hope in Freddy's tone.
"You have no right to suppose any,
thing of the kind flashed Gloria.
Besides, Mr.. Randall has not given
me chance to fall in love with him

Randall.
THE sooner my sister is tied up to

be-" Freddy said and drew Gloria
into his arms. "Isn't that right,
Martha"
"It sure am, Mars Fred" Martha
nodded, grinning broadly.

murely.

Washington, April 20-Arrange- ments to take Americans and other foreigners from Mexico City by train to Vera Cruz have been abandoned, although both Carranza and Villa off cia1s showed a disposition to- give the necessary train service.
 State department despatches to-day from Mexico City said that on account of physical difficulties of the trip, be- cause of broken railway lines the Americans had decided to await Ee- opening of communication to the bor- der and the project had been Saban- doned.
 The army transport Sumner reach ed Tampico to-day and will sail for Galveston Wednesday with 200 Arneri- can refugees. t
 Oficial advices from Mexico to-day give evidences that Obregon and Villa are gathering forces for a battle. There was nothing rpore definite of last weeks encounter%at Celaya where Villa troops are said Ito have been de- feated.
 villa garrisons all along. the line are reported moving southward to strengthen the main army near Ira puato.
 General Villas mining decree will not be enforced until he ifs in a po- sition to give guarantees and transpor- tation to the industry State depart ment advices to-day from Villa head quarters at rapuato sent April 16, said the protest of the United States and Great Britain had been laid be- fore Villa and he had given assur- ances that he would modify the de- cree to avoid possibility of interna- tional complications.
 Consul Sil1iman at Vera Cruz re- port to-day that Alfred ,Tappan, of New York threatened with execution by Carranza forces in Yucatan, now is tos be tried on a charge which does not involve the death penalty. Sec retary Bryan instructed SiIliman to make representations last week.

PHOTOGRAPHERS LAUD
 ARTISTIC WORK OF A
 BRIDGEPORT AMATEUR


 The lecture on photography under the direction of John P. Haley, at the Bridgeport Art league yesterday af- ternoon, while primarily upon the value of gum prints, resolved itself into a means for prominent men to publicly express praise for artistic work of George S. HaSvley. MT. flaw ley is the stenographer of the superior court and has taken up photography as a pastirne but his work, samples of received the highest praise from the speakers and applause from the audi ence.
 John GaTo of Boston, who was to have addressed the meeting, was un- able to be present, having had to change his plans at the last minute because of illness in his family. His splendid exhibition of gum prints was on view, including his picture of still life which has won prizes all over the world as the most remarkable photo l graph of still life ever takenA It is said that MT. Garo attributes the per lection of the picture to it's careful composition which Is so good that the blocking out of the smallest high light throws the entire picture entirely out of balance.
 1 MT. Haley presided at the meeting and during his introductory talk said that gum prints were to the photog- rapher what the paint and brush were to the artist.
 MT. Hawley was introduced and gave an interesting talk upon gum print methods He divided photography into two parts, that which makes an actual record of things as they are and the other which expresses what they mean l to the photographer.
 l Tho object of the artistic photog- l rapherF he said, was to express one thing whether it be a peaceful evening scene, a bright sunny road or a view Eof a penstve face and if he succeeds in making those who view it feel this one thing, he has accomplished what he set out to do.
 l Carl P. Alderman, editor of the Pho tographic News, next talked on the lsubJect in general. Mir Alderman has a fund of humor and he is always a nauch-we1coned speaker at the league Clifford Ryder, illustrator, who is at present with the Robert Gair company doing Photographic work, talked next emphasizing tI1e fact that while the artist can leave out anything that he wants to in his sketching, the photog- rapher must perfect his work by elim. mating all undesirable records which his camera makes.
 MT. Haley in closing remarked that Bridgeport must have plenty of Ioca , talent in this line and that probably , al 1t needed was a :'stirring up.''
 Tea was served following the legture

Frazier's Slight ShrinIxage

James Fill McCooI Frazier, the giant bartender employed by J. E. Morrissey, at 2O6 Main street and the inea1 descendant of the famous Celt whose name he bears, made start ling discovery this week To settle a bet his height was measured and found to be z feet 3 1-2 inches, or half an inch less than when he was measured about a month ago.
 As half an inch on a giants stat ure, is as the saying goes, of as much importance as an inch on a mans nose the discovery was serious enough to warrant an investigation as to the cause of the shrfnkage. The surgi- cal expert, who conducted the inves- tigatton, decided that it was due to the inadequate length of the giants lsbed, the sfrinkage resulting from the settling of the spinal yertebraes- As a bed of his size could be had only by having it made to order it was de- cfded to cut a hole in the foot board of the bed which he is now using An uph o1stered chair was placed in po- sition for his feet to rest on during his stumber-
 His arms are now tied to the head posts of the bed and 1o-pound weight Is attached to each foot al night, and by this means it is expected that the lost half inch will soon be regafned
