can absolute remedy is not, easily
discovered, but. our records are al
ways open for the assistance Of APP
pointing officers in determining these
questions. and might be of value in
proving where increased appropria.-
are desirable.
''It may be said in closing that the
diminished number of tests and appIi-
cants under the new law has given
our secretary and clerical force a
much needed opportunity to get to-
gether records and statistics of state
employment. For the members OF the
commission it has meant a much
smaller volume Of work of a much
less interesting nature than. that
which fell to US under the statute OF
1879
Accompanying the review are re-
cords of legal opinions from the at
torney general and the facts bearing
upon the various tests of applicants,
together with a reprint of the laws
governing the commission.

VICE INVESTIGATOR
WILL SPEAK BEFORE
MEN OF THE Z. M. G. A.

Frederick H. Within of New York
city executive officer of the commit
tee of fourteen, will speak in the lob
by of the Young Mems Christian asso-
citation at the meeting for men, Sum
day afternoon at 800. The commit
tee of fourteen is well known through
it's connection with the investigation
of the white slave traffic under John
d. Rockefeller, Jr. Probably this in
vestigation developed more Interesting
and significant information. regarding
this great question than any other
which has been, held in the world.
Mr.. Waaitin, as secretary of this
committee, is probably one of the best
informed men in the country on this
problem and will be able to make the
most interesting and illuminating adj
dress which Bridgeport men have had
an opportunity to hear. All men over
IS years of age are invited.

best wishes for the coming year and
their siI1cerest hopes that you will re-

A spirit Of cooperation seems to be
abroad in the country and let us all
hope that this spirit will thrive and
increase during 1916.
