With q total gain Of 944,23S, Bridge
port has attained place next to St.
Louis. New Haven with gain Of
So. 232 is 2sth on the list In a list
OF cities having the largest amount
on deposit in the postal savings banA
in which New York City heads the list,
Bridgeport, with s609,665. has the
22nd place. New Haven, with $685.
08S is i31st and Hartford with $231,-
836 is 46th.

A. r. Dennis & Go.
Lease Another Store

Additional indication of the north
ward II end Of business in Main street
is seen today in the reported lease Of
the southwest corner Of Main and
High streets by A. T. Dennis & Co.,
milliners. who will remove\ from their
present location in Main street near
Golden Hill early in spring.
Under the terms of many leases re-
Gently taken in that vicinity, optional
clauses Of purchase within three years
are said to have been included in the
contracts. The building that will be
leased to Dennis & Co. Is owned by
John j. Kennedy, we'll known as a
singer. 19
From Congress street, the main
thoroughfare extending to North ave-
nue. has undergone radical changes
during the last six months. Buildings
for store and living purposes are
rapidly appearing. Old store fronts
have been remodeled and it is pre-
dicted that with the institution Of a
better lighting system and new side
walks the section will take rapid
boom.
An indication of the rapidly in
creasing values Of Main street store
property is seen in the reported lease
Of the present Dennis store for an
amount of money to approximate
$4,000 per year. The rental a year
ago is placed at $4,000, or an increase
of $1,000 in one year.

Soldiers in Expeditionary
Force Find Workmanship
Improves Daily. \

Field Headquarters American Ex-
petition in Mexico, Dec. 20.-EXtra-
ordinary improvement in marksman-
ship is being noted in reports receiv-
ed at field headquarters The regular
life of the soldiers has steadied their
nerves. and the clear air Of the Mex
lean plateau region make sighting
easy Another factor in the good
showing is the steady drill the men
have received in fire control, new
methods of which are being tried by
the cavalry with remarkable success.
Machine gun troops also are being
I drilled to use their arms to the best
advantage. Recently several COM
panies of the 10th Infantry were
brought north from Ell Vale and de-
monstrations of fire control were Civ
en- for the benefit of the officers sta
toned here. The machine gun work
was under the direction Of Captain
F. S. Bowen, assisted by Captain W.
G. Short.
Among the most interesting expert
ments now being conducted Is that
in pistol firing by detachment OF
cavalry, chosen at random. A pistol
board, which is conducting the work,
has evolved a unique line of targets,
worked by ropes and pulleys, which
fall fiat when the cavalry charge over
them. The attempt is being made to
evolve a system of pistol firing while
charging. At present the men are
firing directly ahead while leaning
forward in their saddles and holding
their arms just ahead to the right Of
their mounts ears. Excellent results,
it is said, have already been obtained.
When ammunition arrives. another
interesting test will be made, that Of
determining how effectually the pres
ent three-inch field gun demoish
barbed wire entanglements, trenches
and bomb proofs. A line of fortif1ca-
tions has been constructed as nearly
like those in Europe as possible. The
artillery will be allowed to work on
these under conditions that would OBJ
tain in actual war and the results Of
their fire will be noted. Y
