But | do understand, dear

So Lucille went back to school.
But how about the hundreds
of other girls who must wear
their ginghams frocks and 'sec-

Why do so many of our high
school girls look as if they were

they start for school? Girls love

ANNIVERSARIES
 OF RING BATTLES

1892-George Lab1anche knocked out by Jim Lawson in 7th round at Los Angeles. Lablanche, a French Canadian, called ''The Marine be- cause of his service with Uncle Sam s sea soldiers, became mIdd1eweight champion in 1890 by knocking out Jack Dempsey with a pivot blow at San Francisco in 1890. His glory was short lived, for on Feb. 2O 1891, he was himself knocked out by Young Mitchell, and just 8 year later, lack ing one. day, he was again put to sleep by Jim Lawson. After that the Marine was an easy mark for all the good midd1eweights. Billy Mccarthy knocked him out in New Orleans in Is rounds early in 1893, and Dick O'Brien pulled the same trick in rounds in Lewiston, Me-, few months later. La blanche then went to Minnea polls and fought Billy Maber, and the Austra- Han Shadow punched him to sleep in 3 rounds. Then Billy Layton made the poor old veteran a punching bag in a Des Moines bout, and CharaIie Mickey knocked him out in the 9th round at Muskegon, Mich. Buffalo Costello whipped George in Montreal, and Kid Mccoy knocked him out for the delectation of Dayton fans. About that time the Marine gave up his am bition, which seemingly was to be knocked out by every middleweight in the ring, and quit the game.

The famous Criterion Male Quartet of New York packed the Casino on State street last night at the final meeting of the Chautauqua assembly. It is estirqated that nearly 5000 per sons sat and stood during the perform ance which was every way as de- hghtfuI as that given here last year and many declared that the entertain ment was far superior.
 Rev. George M. Brown made the opening address of the evening, thanking the patrons in behalf of the Pastors Association of Bridgeport. The crowds throughout the assembly have been very large and it is conf dently expressed that large profits vii have been derived from the event.

 VOICE PROTESTS
 ON VALUATIONS
Many Factory Representa- tives Appear Before Board
 of Relief.

Before the board of relief yesterday a large number of the officials of vari- ous rnanufactories appeared protesting against the increase in their assess ments which were tackled on by the board of assessors this year.
 Judge Carl Foster for the American & British Mfg. Co.,, asked that in crease of $150,0OO, made by the as- sessors, be reduced to $25, 5,000. He admitted the company was working on war orders but said the. material was for the Bethlehem Steel Go. and that the material should be assessed there and not in Bridgeport. He said the new machinery that had been installed would be so much junk after the war. The new a assessment of the company is $642,OOO.
 For the new Bridgeport Projectile Co.,, Attorney Foster asked a, reduc- tion of $10O,OOO. The concern is as- sessed for $6OO,00O. The officials fail ed to file a list as required by law but the members of the board took the appeal which Attorney Foster sub- mitted.
 For the Automatic Machine Co,~A. J. Porter asked a substantial reduc- ton in assessment. The assessors raised the company $1O,00O over last year and the board of relief boosted it $25,O0O more. The plant is now assessed at $131, ,894.
 Officials of the American Tube & Stamping Go. protested against the $500 added to the valuation of the company's holdings.
 Officials of the Ashcroft Mfg. Go. also protested the $1OO,0OO tackled on- to their former figure of $363,O54 by the relief board. George Zink, rep resenting the John s. Fray Co.,, pro- tested against the increase in vadua- tion on his property of his firm.
 Col. M. H. Rogers said the increase of $24OOO in the valuation of the FIairchtld & Shelton Go. property was unfair. The plant of the company in Housatonic avenue has been listed this year at $124,078. He said he and other officials of the plant had with difficulty, kept it from removing g from the city. He invited the board to visit the plant and convince them selves of the unreasonableness of the increase in the assessment. Singer Mfg. Go. officials asked re- duction of $5OO,O in it's total assess ment of s2,136,954.
 The Post Publishing Co. asked a re- duction of $35, 900 in it's assessment o1 $125,OOO. The board of assessors raised the company about $6O,00O and the board of relief gave it another boost of s2O,OOO.
 P. F. Shea of the Park theatre, was the only theatrical manager who ap- peared before the board, although 4a were notified that they will be assess led on their business hereafter. MT Shea asked that his asseSsm ent of $4, 900 be reduced.

Washington,F Feb. 19.-With the Mic araguan treaty out of the way, ad- ministration senators were ready to- day to call up for ratification the Haitien treaty and consideration of the Colombian treaty. The Nicaraguan agreement, under which the United States would acquire Nicaraguan canal rights and naval base in the Bay of F'onseca for $3,O0O,OOO was passed 55 to IS by the Senate late yesterday.
 The ratification resolution included an amendment stating that the United States, in obtaining a naval base, does not intend to violate any existing rights in Costa Rica, Honduras and Salvador, which had protested against the pro- posed requirement..
 Senor Chammorro, thef Nicaraguan minister, who today notified his gov ernment of the action of the Senate said that he expects his government to ratify the convention shortly.
 The treaty had been pending before the Senate for more than two years

The officers were experienced and efficient and were given regular watch duty. The men had a fair knowledge of the duties of their ratings, although their theoretical and practical Knowledge of marine engineering, in general, was not what it would have been had they a ship of their own on which to take short trips and become acquainted with the principles and uses of the va rious units in a, marine installation before making a battleship cruise. They were put on watch with the reg ular service men or given repair work, at all of which duties they showed in terest and ability to learn.
