Park Departrnent,s Grass Tennis Courts $
 Are ir Big Demand
Nss st e


 The Popularity of the grass tennis courts at Seaside and Beardsley park which were inaugurated for the first time in Bridgeport this year has been so great that the Park department is likely to increase the facilities three fold next year. A demand for tennfs-courts at the parks has been made repeatedly for q number of years but appropriations for concrete foundations were lacking The grass courts were substituted swith the result that four courts. at Seaside and three courts at Beardsley park have been occupied with play CTS waiting their turn.
 Preparations will be made this winter to increase the number and 2 request for appropriation for cement foundations likely will be made.
 :. The sea wall is reported as pro gressing satisfactorily with 45Q feet of foundation completed and, the su- perstructure completed nearly half 4he allotted distance. The railroad Track from the Crane Conpany's west end plant has been laid and tenn porary trestIe for dumping the .fffil'' also completed It is expected that before snow flies this years work will have been equal to that finished in 1914

THE DAY OF AToNEal E.Nf.
The initial aerui66a is hala in th

j. \ The Initial service is held in the evening of the 17th of September. The entire day of the 18th of Sep tember is devoted to it The Ritual of the Day is public and congregation al; but its significance is personal
 The Day brings the people togetf1- CT, because they share, the Limitations of human nature and because they are equally. aware of the fact that our careers, whatever they may be to oth- CTS, satisfy or dissatisfy ourselves in accordance with our, moral or inn moral interests. This Holy Day gives opp ortunity for@earnest thought on our inner life. The difficulties men encounter in the course of a busy year may prove, after self -exa11ina.- tion. to be not <decrees', of God but instances of their shortconnings. The ancients frankly and humbIy called them tSinss''c
 The "reminiscences of centuries cling to, this Day of days and make it's lessons suggestive and impressive. In ancient times PriestIy soIennities invested it with dignity and the perse- cutons of later times gave it pathos and intense fervor. It is always a salutary experience to face the facts of life as they are, to realize that there are illusions and delusio ons to bring home to ourselves the truth; thai we work Under the limitations Of sr111nds heart aid will Men who feel their responsibilities will neither ig- nore this reminder nor evade the ap-i peal r They will frankly ayow the shortcomings. of their common hu- man nature in the midst of their fel- lownlen- The Day of Atonenent is not for selfish privacies, as little as for penitence which is merely pen ance- It is for moral uplift by which We. may acquire moral strength The first act of moral health is hunil- sity.g
 The Ritual of the Day expresses openness. sympathy and desire to. attain to a. moral wiH. And so do the customs of the Day. Fasting is. meant as a discipline of seIf-controI, the sponsor. of many virtues4 Con- centration upon the pro obIems Of character makes it easy and noble Public contest on of sins is an act of Will, an assertion of the best in ones self The Day brings men to gether in consciousness of their common mortality. Judaism makes men genuinely democratic; it makes them realize that they are equal be- fore God.
 One phase Of the Ritual of the Day is the thought and memory of the Dead Each man thinks of the void that has come into his. career through the loss of kindred and of the obligations he has because of it. And all think of the Eminent Dead. of the men of efficiency and world influence, who have served and ad- vanced the good of the world. In this too there is evidence of the de- mocracy Of Judaism. Whatever tn cir origin or place, the great and good ar lenentioned with appreciation. l
 Tine Day of Atonement is a day far inner peace, and vaccordingIy, the Jews re-assert' their loyalty to Peace for themselves and for mankind. By the assertion of the better self they broaden it into goodwill for fellow men. Know myself, and if thou tfokst. | thou wilt understand, feel with and respect thy feIlowrnan. This is the basis of Justice and Peace. ,

Anniversary of GesFdy's
 Debut in National League


 Hank Gowdy, the Boston backstop, will celebrate today the fifth anntver- sary of his debut in the National League Hank got his major league starss the New York Giants on Sept 1S, 1910, vshsp hf. covered first opposed the McGraW clan GoWdy's record in the field was ten putouts, one assist and one error At the bat he didn't geta hit in three times up, the delivery of Babe Adams being too baffIing for the future star of the Beaneaters- GoWdy was bought by the Giants from the Dallas club of the Texas League, and had previously played with Lancaster, in the Ohio State League. Hank stuck with the Giants less than a year, and in July 1911, McGraw sWapped him to the. Braves for Charley Herzog- Cow ysss work at the initial bag didn't make much of an impression on Sta11ings, and he shipped him off to Buffalo, where he was put behind the bag, and soon became the star backstop of the International circuit Hank was re- called to- the Boston club at the close of the International season.
 Gowdy is not the only member of the great 1914 aggregation of Braves who failed to make good oIl@ his first assignment, but by switching positions developed into star StaIIings himr1 self was failure as a catcher in the big show, but he is considered a pretty fair manager. Schmidt was a cheese as a pitcher, but Jack Dunn developed him into a crack first sscker. Evefs started as a shortstop, hut soon found his natural position at the. Keystone bag. Connolly also started as 8 pitch CT, but had to settle down in the out field. Old Fred Mitchell was a pitcher before he became a backstop. Teddy Gather was another reformed twirler

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had Im- bibed the Policies Advocated
 by Her Mother

Dorothy's mother is suffragette of advanced type. Dorothy is dear little girl in primary grade, but somewhat inclined to copy her elders. One day her teacher received note from the secretary of the school board, but waited until after class to read it. Dorothy returned for some books and caught tears in the teach CTS eyes (the latter had been denied an increase in salary upon which she had based large hopes), and said:
 Why are you crying?"
 The teacher laughed and said, "The naughty old school board isn't nice to mel"
 Dorothy took hold of the teachers hand with both hers and said very seriously, Don't you cry any more. When we get the vote we women will correct such things!"-The Sunday Magazine.

ARE YOUTHS AT SlxTY-FIVE
Drinking Distilled Water Is Declared to Be Beneficial to Men of
 the Navy.

Eliminate the hazards of naval of ficer, say the life insurance companies. and he is the best risk in the world.
 Why?
 Because simple means are used to prevent him from contracting diseases which cause the arteries to harden.
 The strength of the navy and ma rine corps is between 65,000 and TO- 900 men. The report of the surgeon general for 1913 tabulates one death from apoplexy and places arthritis as the least common of all maladies.
 q urge that the rest of the world live as we do, using distilled water, and live on and on, youths at sixty five," writes Doctor Wedekind, com mander of the hospital-ship Solace, in the Medical Record last issued. We do not develop arterial degeneration, gout and rheumatism, though not sur rounded by home comforts, regular seasons, regular amusements and home life"
 In half an hour anybody can make a still large enough for thirst.quench- ing purposes. A tea kettle, a copper coil, piece of rubber tubing and glass preserve jar or an ordinary pitcher are the materials required.
 One thing in favor of forming the habit of drinking distilled water, as recommended, is that it can never prove harmful, even if no benefit should be derived in certain cases.
