PROTECTIVE ASSO.
 WORK MULTIPLifS
 AS CITY INCREASES
Outside Work of the Organ ization Has Grown Large
 ly This Fall.

Members of the Bridgeport Protec- tive association met last evening in the headquarters in Myrtle avenue in able monthly meetings they have ever held.
 One of the features of the evening was the report of Miss Catherine I. Hewitt, superintendent of the home, which told of the quantity and kind of work which the resources of the association had been taxed to meet during the month of. October.
 The record of population showed that sixteen girls had been cared for as house cases, that 892 meals and BOA lodgings had been provided. The financial report showed there had been returned to the treasurer a sum of money almost sufficient to pay the rent. This amount came from the October beneficiaries, who were able to partially reimburse the association for what they had received and also from former grateful recipients, who had heretofore been unable to make monetary return. The gratitude of one woman, cared for just after the opening of the Home in 1914, was manifested by small remittance and words of grateful appreciation. show ing that she had not forgotten how the organization had befriended her in her time of need.
 Not only has there been an increase in the house cases but the outside work has correspondingly grown En- pigment, clothing, food, advice, etc., have been given to many not enroll ed in the family. Cooperation with other organizations and individuals has reached over into other cities and states.
 The report of the house committee showed some good work done. At it's last meeting an inspection of the house was made to note the many repairs end other improvements re- gently made, and also to determine the immediate needs required to raise this good work to the highest point of efficiency.
 Among the more imperative pres ent needs are some rugs, furniture, curtains, linen, both for towels and table.
 Through the courtesy of the Man waring Plumbing Go. the Richardson Boynton Co. of New York city. remov- ed the kitchen stove which was toe small to meet the increased needs, re- placing it with a Perfect range o1 the largest size.- Any fousekeeper knows what this gift means in com. fort and efficiency.
 The rapid growth and the increas- ing demands of the work, coupled with the great advance in all prices calls for generous response to the appeal which will soon be made tc the public for funds to support this work, work whose necessity and success has already been demonstrat- ed

ides and the other dramadsts of Greece

lOeS ana the OCn9T OEa1QaOStS or GT6ece than from Heroditus.''
 pr. Anspacher traced briefly the his- tory of modern drama from Ibsen. to the present day. "The old Greek idea in drama" he said, ''was that you couldn't get away from character. Modern drama is the conflict between religion and ethics worked out. Mod ern drama has gotten away from the ingenue love story, it has gotten away from the elastic story which was stretched at certain intervals and al- end like a rubber band. We realize today that the altar is not the place where the drama ends but where it begins and. the problem of the modern dramatist is to keep his characters married until the curtain falls.
 The moving picture is forcing the legitimate drama to become more of a social force. The moving picture is supplying all the action that the peo- pie want much more realistically than the legitimate drama could do it..
 When he had concluded his inter estlng lecture. Dr. Anspacher spoke informally upon the Drama League, urging it's members to support plays and to go to them during their first week because many of the most splen- did plays have died in New York be- cause people have thought, .'If they are any good, they will be there later on"
 Refreshments were served following the lecture

The news columns describe with suffi-
Cient fullness, and doubtless with reason
able accuracy, the influences which have
led Secretary Garrison to lay down his
post in the Cabinet. These include his
displcasure at the scant attention which
the President and Congress have been
giving to his proposal for a continental
army, and its apparent purpose TO liber-
ate the Philippine Islands before he thinks

and resents with vigor the notion that

Mr., Garrison's departure from the Cab
met is a distinct loss to the Administra-
ton and to the country. II is nothing
more nor less than statement of fact to
say that of all the men whom the Presi-
dent gathered into his official household
at the beginning of this Administration,
Mr. Garrison has made the most favor
able impression upon the country. That
impression will in no sense be weakened
by the circumstances attendant upon his
resignation; rather it will be strengthened
for Mr. Garrsons resignation is prompted
by principle.
Evidently Mr.. Garrison is too MUCH OF
a patriot to be party to sacrificing the
nations preparedness even on the altar of
militia politics and in the year of ma
tional election.
