TRANSFER MILK BY MOTOR TRAIN TO CITY PATRONS
System Used In West Adopted By Bridgeport Concern
 for Shipments.

The motor-truck train idea, con- ceived and practised extensively in the West has reached Bridgeport. It's adoption here has been highly suc- and has helped save the city from a milk shortage at the breakfast table.
 The idea, which has been in sue cessfu1 operation here for nearly a month by the Mitchell Dairy Co.,, be- tween Newtown, Brewsters, N. Y, and other points towards Iitchfield will soon be increased to the exclusion of the railroad, and transportation au- .thorities suggest that nearly every large short-hau1 shipper will be likely to adopt the scheme flor freighting be- tween cities not more than 50 to 75 miles distant from Bridgeport. It is further suggested that the trailer system in conjunction with the trolley service, while necessitatfng the hiring of extra help would, at once remedy the. crowded facilities here during the morning, noon and evening rush hours.
 The use of motor-truck trains con sisting of one large motor truck vehi- cIe, followed by pne, two, and three equally large traiTers, connected by railroad couplings and swinging for ward ax1es, discloses that Bridgeport has had difficulty in getting it's milk supply.
 The supply for years is said to have been procured from Fairfield county with additional supplies coming down the railroad line from Litchf1eld and way points. This year the population has increased to such an extent that it is estimated between 10000 and l20,0o0 quarts are consumed every
 morning here.
 The Mitchell dairy found that the transportation from New York state by rail was both costly and slow. A motor-truck and trailer was pur- chased in the West At first it ran on a regular schedule between this city and Brewster. Bach car was cap able of carrying 100 4O-quart cans or a similar quantity of bottled milk which arrived in this city in time to be delivered to customers without re- handling as was the case at the cars.
 Two additional rhotor-trains were added to the service. Arrangements are now made, it is said, to have Is trains in service between this city and nearby points by May 15, when it is likely that short hauls by railroad will be abandoned.
 So acute is the milk supply situa- tion said to be here today that the Borden Condensed Milk Co.,, also sup plying a large number of patrons in this city, has had to go to New Hamp- shire in search of milk for this city.

WOMAN IN SCOTLAND
 SENDS FIVE POUNDS
 TO CONSCIENCE FUNDo

Washin seon, April S-The treasury department has received a contribu- ton to the conscience fund" of ten pounds from a woman in Scotland. She wrote that the money was in pay ment of duties out of which she thought the government had been de- frauded more than 20 years ago.
 The contribution, however, did not represent the amount of the fraud which she said supposedly was com nitted by a relative to whose estate she and others became heirs.
 Using her proportienate part of the estate as a base for Computation, the woman estimated that ten pounds will be her share, principal interest The other heirs, she wrote, did not agree with her that the supposed fraud should be repaid as far as possible, and were unwilling to send contribu- tionS.

ARBOR AND BIRD DAY IS NAMED IN
 PROCLA AVIATION

Hartford, ApriIl 8-Arbor and Bird Day was proclaimed for Friday, April 2S, by Governor HGlcomb today.
 The proclamation follows:
 STATE OF CONNECTICUT.
 By His Excenency, Marcus H. HoI-
 comb, Governor.
 A PROCLAMATION.
 It is a fair world in which our lines have been cast and few parts of it are fairer than this little state of ours. If it lacks the grandeur of others in limitless expanse of noun tains or prairies, yet here is 8 won derful mingling of wooded hills, green meadows and wellwatered valleys. And if the wild life about them has not the brilliant celorings of tropic lands, yet our birds are beautiful and their songs are sweet. We are apt to forget how much an understanding of these things can add to the richness of our lives and what a duty we owe to those who follow us to preserve for them the benefits we may so freely enjoy, It takes but Q. moment to fell a tree, it takes years to replace it; a careless stone or shot may kill q nesting bird and with her die the generations of her kind whom her care might as- sure to the coming years. To em- phasize these things the legislature has required that a day be set apart each year for their consideration and in obedience to it's mandate, do now designate Friday, April the twen- ty-eighth, as Arbor and Bird Day, re- questing that it be so observed in the schools and elsewhere as to awaken a greater appreciation of na- ture's workings and natures good.
 Given under my hand and the seal of, the State of Connecticut at Hart ford this seventh day of April, in the
 
 hundred and sixteen, Marcus H. Ho1- comb Governor. @f

Mecklenburg schwerin

Grand Duke Frederick Francis NV. of MeckIenburgSc Schwerin, who is a general of Prussian cavalry and the brother-in-1aw of Crown Prince Fred erick William, will be thirty-four years old tomorrow, having been born grand duca1 crown in 1897, and rules over 8 state having an area of 5,068 square miles and a population of 639,- 958. During his minority his uncle, Duke John Albert, reigned over Meek Ienburg- -Schwerin as regent. Duke John is a close friend of the Kaiser, and during the war has acted as the personal representative of the Elm peror in ConstantinopIe. He has long been known as a bitter foe of Eng land and everything English, and it is said that he has impressed his ideas upon his nephew the Grand Duke Early in the war it was announced taken a prisoner by the Belgians, and a, Iurid report was spread that King Albert threatened to shoot the Duke with his own hand if the Kaiser de- stroyed Brussels. The house of Meek Ienburg claims descent from Genseric the Vanda1, who ravaged the western empire in the fifth century. In 1701 the country was divided between two branches of the family, Mecklenburg- Schwerin and Meck1enburg -Strelitz, an, dabout a century ago the dukes of both were made grand dukes. The present Grand Duke of the StreIitz branch is Adolphus Frederick IT., who has been promine ent in the war. He was the first to reach Sofia by the new Serbian route last November, after helping as a volunteer to force the Danube passage. Mecklenburg- Stre1itz is much smaller than Meek Ienburg- -Schwerin, having an area of 1,1S1 square miles and a population of 106, ,442.

There Is. by tho way, a wonderful
similarity between the origin of these

be called an agricultural drink, both
from the materials il Is made of and
because OF ito great popularity in the

juices Of fl..e fruits and things that
grow and sweetened with Natures
purest, finest suSGr-and please par
ticularly remember this last-Coca-
Cola contains TO artificial sweetening
matter but just the best OF pure cane
sugar. 1T is tlis nne combination that
gives Coca-Cola its deliciousness of
favor, its distinctiveiy refreshing and
thirst-quenching qualities and great
wholesomeness. That's why ball play
ers, athletes, fans-all classes and
kinds of men and women drink and
endorse Coca-Cola. Drink a glass or a
