we find him at all times and places
referring back 70 that event and
kceping sacred and true the divine
commission given him then.
Paul tclieved SO strongly In Jesus
Christ that he counted 1t a privilege
to do anything for him or to suffer
anything that brought his Master the
greater glory. He did not, like some
pious people of a later age, count on
gaining any additional virtue because
of enduring suffering but he was
ready AZ all times TO cheerfully on
durc anything that produced benefit
in his Masters cause. To suffer for
Tie sake OF suffering is silly. hut TO
suffer that somebody else might be
led To christ IS noble. Instead Of g,m-
uly being resigned TO labor or endure
Tor Christ. Paul leaped with Joy that
nc had the privilege, His whole de-
uehnor showed that he believed In
Gods providential care and reward OF
them that seek him. and that God Ia
on the side OF righteousness and In his
own good time will overthrow In
iquity
Professor Peabody says that We
face today the peril OF soft
church" We love luxury; we court
ease; We are much in doubt whether
there IS anything worth battling for or
giving ones NE for. We have forgot
ten the spirit which enabled Paul to
esteem all the afflicuons of this
world as blessings which should work
ont for us "far more exceeding ana
eternal weight OF glory" 1t is when

Charity and Business

1t has been our custom for a number of
years to fill prescriptions FREE of charge
for those worthy Of help who were sent to
us by authorized charitable institutions.
We feel that the scope of this service will
be more beneficial to the needy to make
this fact, better known, and we are going
to broaden this service by authorizing any
reputable physician to send to our store
any worthy person or persons for med
icine, and we agree to fill their prescrip-
tions without cost until further notice.
Nothing is required but note from the
physician on his professional card or on
his prescription blank that the patient is
entitled to this gratis service. In this man
ner we aim to contribute our share to the
public good, instead of paving out an even
smaller amount on the countless requests
FOR contributions to programs, fairs,
bazars, among which we cannot dcscrim-
mate.

The local committee of the naval consulting board is meeting with suc- cess Tn its inventory of Bridgeport manufacturing resources. There are still some manufacturers who haven finished the information desired ana the committee is urging that they send reports at once.
 A preliminary report of the general committee recently published stated that responses are numerous and en- thusiastic and it now takes a dozen clerks and statisticians to classify them for the government files in Washington.
 This mobilization of industries is in the hands of 3O,000 engineers Of the most eminent scientific bodies. They form the field force of the committee organization to take the inventory. For this sweeping canvass. which IS head- ed by Howard T. Coffin, chairman and w. s. Clifford, supervising director, the whole country has been highly system atized with directing force or the leading engineers in every state and aided by others in various centers as field aides.
 Connecticut's directing board is To- cated in Hartford and is composed of the following members: MT. Fergu- son, chairmah; H. R. Buck. w. Mor- ley, H. B. Sargent and Eli Whitney.
 The information will be tabulated in general for the purpose of learning the distribution of men and machines in various localities and area avail- able for extension of buildings for manufacturing purposes, should the time ever come that such improve ments are necessary. Travel, both water and rail facilities, as well as general conditions regarding roads in the neighborhood of manufacturing plants is information of the most vital importance and one can readily see how valuable such matter, tabulated, can become at moments notice.
 A few manufacturers have doubted the ability of their plant to aid the government in war time. They have almost invariably changed their views when shown that in the event of hos- tilities probably 30 per cent. of the in- dustries of America would of neces- sity be concentrated on producing myriad elements of the twentieth cen tury warfare The information fur nished is strictly confidential and the system of tabulation is such that in the event of war, the army and navy department could instantly get in touch with every industry in the coun- try and would know at the start ex- actly how much these industries could be expected to accomplish in the way of aiding in equipment and mainte- nance of the land and sea forces of the country. M se
 'In view of national defense legis- 1ation pending in Washington. Chair man Coffin calls attention to the re- port of the state directors, to the eff. feet that all clements of business life in their respective regions united on the wisdom and practicability of the committees plan for establishing an nual educational orders in small quqantities for the manufacturers ot munitions of war. The idea is to teach American manufacturers now producing. say, farm machinery, how to turn out some one war commodity best suited b their output, and this in time of peace.

Seek Injunction to
 Restrain Building
 Over Proposed Line

| James Carroll, the owner of property on Beechwood avenue, has asked an injunction restraining Goldman & Schine from erecting a building at Beechwood avenue and Carlton street within three feet of the sidewalk line. Though the injunction was denied by Judge F. \. Bartlett in the city court under present circumstances the de- fendants have been ordered to appear in that court on July 19 and show cause why such injunction should not be issued.
 In the complaint, Attorneys Cham berlain & Hull set forth that owners |of property on the north sides of |Beechwood avenue have petitioned the common council to establish build ing line on that street; that the com mon council is now considering the measure, and that Goldman & Schine have already begun building opera tions within three feet of the sidewalk line,l which will greatly damage the values of property in the vicinity.

Not until two or three weeks before that time will either Jess or Manager Tom Jones engage in any controversy regarding size of purses and all the Mexicana that goes with matchmaking.
 Willard is determined to steer clear of Jack Dillon. Bear in mind. Jess IS not afraid to tackle the giant-killer, but he fears lie may injure him, and then the game will Ego to blazes. quote the champion.
 Recently the writer had occasion to be in York. Pa, where Willard was showins with the Floto-Sells circus, He gets 500 iron men day for boxing threa two-1ninute rounds with Walter Monahan, and riding broncho for the edification of the large crowds that turn out to see him perform.

CARRANzA SAYS
 DANGER OF WAR
 HAS NOW PASSED

Mexico City, July 15-General Car ranza( in an interview yesterday, said the status of the negotiations with Washington was very satisfactory as the result of the goodwill shown to each other by Mexico and the United States.
 Thanks to this feeling of good will" the First Chief continued, i've will be able to avoid war. War is something I do not desire, but if there was no other remedy for the situation, would enter upon it.
 Refuses to Discuss Mediation. Gen. Carranza, however, refused to discuss the situation as it relates to the possible action of President Will son or of the Latin American nations which offered to mediate in the trou- ble between the United States and Mexico. Within a short time, the First Chief said, there would be in corporated in the constitution of Mexico all the reforms which now find a place in the program of the Constitutionalists. In a large meas Ey- forms already are in operation, and there remains only their incorporation inti the fundamental laws of the country.
 AS to the holding of Presidential election, Gen. Carranza said it would take place as soon as the work of re- constructing the constitution had been completed and when the country was completely at peace.
 Ready to Pass Amnesty Law.
 The de facto government, the First Chief asserted, will pass law of amnesty so that Mexicans who have left the country for one reason or another, can return if they desire Such a law, however, he said, would not be promulgated as long as the government was not on firm basis, for the reason that among the Mexi- cans now living abroad are those who would return to Mexico to conduct agitations and disturb labor condi- tions.
 "As for myself, personally. do not care," Gen. Carranza declared. f'but do care on account of the govern bringing about the political recon struction of Mexico is most difficult and must be carried forward under peaceful conditions. Let those Mexi- cans who are disturbers stay where they are until such time as the coun- try has a constitution and govern ment. Then they can return and work.s
