FINANCE CAMPAIGN OF HOME FOR GIRL s
 INSTITUTED TODAY
Bridgeport Protective Asso- citation Has Done Good
 Work Tn Year

The financial campaign Of the Bridgeport Protective association began
 this morning in real earnest For two
 weeks the workers will cover the city and collect $6,000 with which to carry on the splendid work for the coming year. Almost $1,000 has been sent in already, testimonial of the faith of the Bridgeport public in the associa- ton.
 During the year s9 persons have ben admitted to the home at 591 Myr- tie avenue. 4,3S9 meals were given and 1,41o lodgings were supplied. The as- Eociation was but a sprig Of hopeful ness last year but it is now a, full grown tree. Immediate relief has been
 given and the girls have been fed,
 clothed and sheltered until ready to
 face the world again They have been protected, not only while in the home but when they left they have been fol- lowed by the knowledge that some one was interested and that some one cared whether or not they made good.
 The tree of the Protective home was branched- out into an employment agency to a very large extent, girls
 are given work and those who need
 helpers send to the home and are fur n1shed help.
 Girls for GirIs,'' is the slogan of the work which the association is most
 anxious to accomplish this year. They
 desire to form leagues throughout the city where the girls will meet with ex- perienced workers and become trained
 to meet emergencies and help one an- other. When a girl is taken into the
 home, who has no interest in anyone except herself, she is watched most carefully As soon as that girl be- comes interested in other girls, in help ing those whom she can sec is worse off than she, that girl is no longer kept under watch, knowing that the spirit Of ee6zirls for Cir1sP' has worked its charm This branch has not been thoroughly developed. but it will be in the near future as will each branch of the sturdy tree of the Protective as-
 sociation.
 The ss who. have bsen-soa1naed- for by the association have been sent in through the following mediums: The Bridgeport Christian union, emergency hospital, Charities Organization so- 1 fcety, charities department, churches,
 courts, day nursery, friends, members
 Of the association, newspapers, nurses.
 the probation officer, Salvation Army,
 and the Young women's Christian as
 sociation.

In the Right Direction

Next to President Wilson's discus sion of the national defense question fet features of his message have at tracted as much attention as his ref erence to the transportation situation. His recommendation that a commits sion be appointed to make thorough investigation of the interstate com merce laws with view of ascertain ing what can be done to better rail- road conditions has had very heart ening effect in the financial world. This part of the Presidents message grew out of suggestion of Oscar Underwood Alabama's junior sena- tor made a notable speech in New York year or more ago in which he discussed the problems of the car riers from a broad and statesmanlike point of view. He was opposed to gov ernment ownership, but he made the prophecy that unless the railroads were treated in way that would en- able them to earn fair returns on the capital invested and strengthen their borrowing power, the whole trans portation system would eventually break down.
 | If the time ever comes when the carriers are unable to handle the vast volume of this country's traffic, then government ownership would be in- evitable.
 Senator Underwood is very earnest in dealing with this railroad question, and he or some other member of the Senate will, at his request, offer a bill providing for a commission or joint committee of investigation.
 Of course, such commission would be carefully selected. It would re- quire a year or more to perform its duties, but there is reason to think that it's findings would crystalline into such congressional enactments as would remedy the trouble which now lpresses for settlement.

Heflin's Cotton Statistics Bill

Congressman Heflin's bill seeking monthly government statictics on the varied consumption of cotton has a practical purpose.
 The census bureau is well organ ized for statistical work and if its activities are extended in the way MT. Heflin's bill provides, the cotton trade and the cotton farmer will be alike benefited.
 Now the cotton division of the cen sus bureau gathers and publishes only data showing the consumption of the staple in mills of the United States, but since great quantity of cotton is used in the manufacture of rope, felts, buggy and automobile cushions, pillows, mattresses, surgi- cal lint, explosives and other com modities, the information sought would prove of far-reaching economic value.
 The bill is certainly timely and should be enacted into law as speedi- ly as possible.

FASHION A COSMOPOLITE

From the Cincinnati T1meS-Star.
 In Berlin recently there was held con vention of dress reformers under the patronage of the crown princess. The purpose of the meeting was to induce Ger man women to abandon styles originat- ing in enemy countries, and to adopt purely German modes. The enterprise was complete failure.
 The results of this convention show that style cannot be nationalized. It does not follow that German women are less pa- triotic than they should be, but that the inc adornment have upon the feminine mind gives way before nothing.
 French and English literature and ian- guages have been largely exiled from all German countries. Enemy art objects also have in some instances been re- moved. But the attempt to Germanize styles for women, although it was led by member of the royal house. was de- feated by the reformers themselves. Ca ble dispatches say the advocates of the truly German modes were hopelessly in the minority
 This adds another to the long lists of victories to the credit of the Goddess of Fashion. If the fierce resentments of the present are unable to modify her decrees. perhaps nothing ever will She knows no boundaries. no nationality. no limits. Woman, it seems. loves beauty for it's own sake, and cares not whence it comes.

 cox not upon the mnce pie when it is compounded with dash of - strong drink as fiavoring. That is the official interpretation of a clause or the excise law of Colorado. It was held that the law forbids the sale of all kinds of alcoholic liquors for use in foods. The mince pie is not concoction or contradictions Epicures do not common | ly eat their fruits and meats together, vet both are blended in the mince pie Pastry Is supposed to be best when newly baked. but the mince pie improves with age up to the period of it's finest flavor. Sour and sweet are both literally used in the construction of mince pie of the first order These ingredients do not neu- tralize each other. They blend in such way that it is impossible for the delight ed partaker to say whether the pie is more sweet than sour or more sour than sweet.
 The modicum of strong drink in a mince pie imparts flavor to the entire struc- ture that is most gratifying to the un- suspecting teetotaller. At the same time this flavor is deliciously tantalizng to the toper epicure-a flavor of so near and | vet so far, an effect that only he can appreciate but cannot describe. The question may come up whether the alco- holic curse in mince pie cannot be re- moved by a further resort to contradic- ton in compromising. If sours and sweets fruits and meats, and so on, why not rum and grape juice?
 We have not at hand the statistics as to the numbers of mince pie drunkards in the various states. If such figures have been compiled they cannot be very trust worthy. Mince pies are not sold over the bars. Minee pie inebriation. while not solitary vice. like surreptitious drinking, is usually acquired at home or in pub lie eating houses. In the former the vic tim can sleep off his jag, and in the latter nobody suspects the cause of his ! deplorable condition.
 It is hard to imagine what the pro-
