YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL FEM so EASILY SOON; HENRY FORD HAS
 CHANGED LINES OF HIS 1917 CAR

New York, Aug. 16.-The new mod els of the Ford cars will be in New York in a few days. For several weeks there had been reports that al- terations toward a streamline body ef- feet were to be seen, but none of these reports predicted that the new car would be out before 1917 and until yesterday the company refused either to confirm or deny the rumors.
 The new car, according to announce ments to be made at once, will have very different appearance from the Ford so we'll known over the United States. because for season after sea- son it did not yield to the demand for new styles of body, but rigidly con- formed to type. The changes are a streamline hood in the place of the present stiff "bonnet,'' rounded radi- ator to accentuate the effect of sweep Ing lines and modern crowned lenders.
 Reports that the method of the dis tr1out1on of the Ford cars was to be changed were also confirmed yester- day. The company will restrict itself 10 the wholesale distri~ ution of cars in the future Owners of garages are to act as the retail agents. The selec- ton of these will be begun at once. There will be not less than 25 in New York city. The establishment of the company at 1,723 Broadway will be maintained as a wholesale store and display room.

Three sweeping changes have been made by the company within Q short time, the initial one being the reduc- t1on of prices which for the first time made a touring car available at $360. 1t is now reported that the company plans to make 100000 cars next year. The scope of such a plan is more fully realized when it is known that the Government Census Bureau recently announced that the total number of cars registered in the United States in 1916 was 2,445,664.
 The Ford company produced during the year ended July S1, 533, ,921 cars. Extensions to the main factory are designed to more than double the out put, so that the report of 1G0O, ,o00 cars in 1917 is not without some founda- tion.
 Changes and plans of expansion by this company are principal topic of discussion among automobile men. Tn general the opinion expressed is that other manufacturers of automobiles will not be greatly affected by these changes, as the cut in the price of the car brings into the automobile mar ket many persons who hitherto were not considered as possible buyers of cars. One man well posted in the point of view estimated that the num- Der of new prospects, so created was not less than 100000.

PLEASURE BEACH

That vaudeville fills the bill at Pleasure Beach has been fully empha- sized during the past three days by the large attendance at both afternoon and evening performances. The bill was of exceptional merit and the sing ing and dancing of Kapleim and Bell were of calibre rarely seen in Bridgeport. For the last half of the week the management has been very fortunate in securing the two Durands in another singing and dancing act, direct from a long run at Brighton Beach; Carum and Farnum in com edy acrobatics; and Jim Duffy, the clever monologue artist, who has just finished an engagement at Proctor's in New York.
 Saturday the Machinists' Union hold their big field day at the beach and from present reports it will be the biggest event ever held in Connecticut, fully 25,000 people being expected. Sunday baseball and band concert are the attractions, which have proved such a success in the past.

Several hundred Bridgeport people are already taking ''Wilderbs" Gull extract) although this remarkable new medicine for stomach ailments and a general run down condition has only been on the market a few days. It's success has been Instantaneous.
 T. s. Jackson (Dr. Pierce's assistant here) is meeting throngs daily at his headquarters at Hindle's Main and State street store. While a few peo- pie were disappointed because they could not talk with him two weeks ago owing to his temporary absence from the city they are glad they final ly visited the store and heard his radical interpretation of their trouble. Nearly all remarked they were pleased with his talk and seemed to be filled with the spirit of happiness that his personality scatters everywhere.
 He gives the following explanation of the action of Wilderbs Gull ex- tract). The prime cure of nine-tenths of chronic i'll health is intestinal and stomachic fermentation. Food which should be dfgested and manufactured into rich pure healthy blood, literal ly rots in the stomach and bowels, forming a violent poison. This poison gets in the blood through the kidneys and liver which are themselves af- fected by the toxic juices so that they cannot perform their functions properly All kinds of disorders re-

It has been often said that although we have largely reformed our htera- ture, the movie has stepped in to take its place as a demoralizing agent to the youthful mind. But the question has been how to arrange a proper movie program for children which is not weak, thin or simple, and on the other hand Is not morbid and nerve racking. A disturbing element that confronts any committee attacking problem is the diametrically oppos- ing criticism of it's adult patrons. One must be calmly gracious, and atten- tive equally to the individuals who give impossible criticisms (which are far in excess) and to those who offer helpful suggestions.
 AS everyone knows who has tried to provide a series of selected pro- grams, exchanges sometimes err in sending the films ordered. We suf- fered weeks from criticism due to such a mistake.
 Having experimented off and on with movie programs for children for year and a half in Providence, R. L., ] realized the necessity of securing for the chairmanship of this work, a wo- man of broad insight and real grasp of the problem, who had the time to visit exchanges and talk with film pro- ducers. Mrs. Dexter Thurber of Bris- tol, R. l., was just such person: an executive committee was formed con- sisting of Mrs. Thurber, Prof. s. S. Coivin of Brown University and my seRt and an advisory committee of representative citizens including the mayor. and superintendent of schools. Matrons from the mothers clubs have been in attendance every Satur- day morning as well as college girls who have acted as ushers wearing cap and gown. At 1a

ENGLAND IS ABLE: 10 MEET DEMAND
 FOR MUNIT TONS

London, Aug. 16-Reviewing the work of the Munitions Department of the government in the House of Com mons yesterday. Edwin Samuel Mon tagu. Minister of Munitions. after tel1- ing of the immense increase in output of all kinds of guns and munitions by his department, informed the House that all rifes and machine guns for the armies in the field were being sup piled entirely from home sources. The quality of the guns and munitions, he said, was equal to the quantity, the artillery during the recent fighting having acquitted itself to the entire satisfaction of the British army and having, as well, received the praise of the French Ministry of Munitions. This statement, he added, was partic- ularly true of the heavy guns and howitzers.
 MT. Montague pointed out that half of the engineering resources of the country were required for the navy. but declared that very shortly Great Britain would have provided for her own requirements and be able to de- vote herself exclusively to the wants of her allies in regard to machine guns. Already, he said, she was send ing large amounts of guns and muni- tions to her allies. and in addition was sending to France one-tnird of her production of shell steel and transferring to her allies metals ne- ,cessary for munitions to the amount of $3o.o0o,0o0 monthly.
 The production of heavy shells said the minister. was now 94 per cent greater than it was in 1914. There was now being produced in four days, he declaTed. as much how itzer intuition as was produced dur ing the whole of last year. while there were being turned out every month as many guns as were in existence when the Minister of Munitions was form ed, and this number would soon be nearly doubled.
 The output of machine guns had Increased foufteenfoid, continued the minister, and there could be turned out in four weeks as many of these implements as existed at the forma- tion of the ministry. The output of hi gb explosives was 50 times as great as a year ago, but the amount reQuir- ed was 11,O00 to lz.0O0 times as great ss at the beginning of the war. The output of. heavy ammunition. how ever he declared, now covered the expenditure of such ammunition.

there was a growing discrimination on the part of the children. Some suggested stories that would make good films;j one boy stating that Thackeray's Rose and the Ring, where the butler turns into the door-knock- CT, would be a good a film-illusion as where Cinderella turns into a prin- cess.
 The theater committee from time to time has issued leaflets regarding the work. Criticism and suggestions were solicited. The committee was allow ed by the management of the Strand an unlimited supply of free tickets to issue to teachers in schools in poor districts, children's institutions and social workers. Thus, about 500 free tickets were given to children who could not otherwise attend. The man. agement also allowed us benefit per formance each month with the result that $127 was given for the ,children's work of the Congress of Mothers. $147 for the baby week campaign fund, and $200 to the District Nursing As- sociation.
 The success of the children's movies at the Strand made other managers eager to give a Saturday morning show. The police commissi oners, how ever, have practically refused to al- low performances unless supervised by a committee of women from our childrens theater committee. Thus the manager of a suburban theater was given license to hold good as long as committee from the Parent Teachers Association supervised the programs and furnished matrons In So far as possible the same program that had been given the previous week at the Strand was given at this theatre.
 . The police censor is eager to have us work out a state circuit of chill dren's shows next fall, the same su- pervised program being given in the chief towns of the state.
 On of our greatest difficulties as the season progressed was in securing suitable films. Exchange men and producers are evidently waking up to the pressure of the demaLd created by the many ventures similar to this one. as we have news that many ex- cellent things will be on the market by fall. As the National Board of Censorship says: "It is the responsi- bflity of the parents and friends of children and nobody else to create the demand and make it felt.''
