Protect School Children,

Measles, scarlet fever and whooping
cough are prevalent among school chill
dren in many cities. A common cold
never should be neglected as it weakens
the system so that it is not in condi-
ton to throw off more serious diseases.
Foley's Honey and Tar is pleasant to
take, acts quickly, and contains no
opiates. j. w. Duncan Co.-Adv.

NO. DECISION ON PRICE FOR LAND
 FOR cITY'S USE

That the land for which the Wor- den estate is demanding $9S,000 is under water at high tide, was the de- claration of City Engineer Terry at the hearing yesterday afternoon be- fore commissioners appointed by the superior court to appraise the land.
 The city engineer said on some oc- casions the water reaches as far as Morris street, where lots are reported to have been recently sold for $500 and $900. The witness thought that if the city purchased the land it would be necessary to fill in the tract. He estimated the cost at $3 400 an acre and there are about IS acres in the
 Counsel for the Worden estate in- troduced Attorney Henry Greenstein as witness. He said that, acting as agent, he had sold a tract about in the Cedar Creek neighborhood for $32.000 recently. This plot of land had frontage of 100 feet and a depth of about 800. The city claims the Worden tract is worth not more than $20,000. As no agreement regarding the purchase price could be reached the city asked the superior court to appoint appraisers. Arguments were heard this afternoon and the apprais- CTS reserved their decision.

|FAR-FLUNG LINE OF DESTROYERS
 PATROLS COAST

Newport, R. l., Oct 13.-Another de- stroyer was added to the patrol forces Just before noon when the Cummings headed out of Narragansett Bay at top speed. A < The far-flung patrol line of torpedo boat destroyers is charged with the
 double duty of enforcing neutrality,
 observance and saving lives in the event of further submarine raids on
 shipping off these shores. Official au-
 thority for the statement that such al
 patrol had been ordered by the navy
 department was obtained here this
 morning The limits of the line of coast sur
 veillance at present were shown today
 with the arrival of the destroyer Paul. ding off Bar Harbor, Me, and the ac- tivity of the destroyer Sterrett in New York harbor. Between these two out posts nine other destroyers were weav-. ing a net of observation that extended a considerable distance out to sea, we'll beyond the lines of coastwise vessels. At Narragansett Bay several de- stroyers were kept at routine target practice with steam constantly up. available for an emergency call. The fuel ship Jason which left here re-
 gently with a full supply of oil, came in during the night for more.
 All vessels, it was said, were well provisioned. The operations of the pa-
 trol are being directed from the flag, ship Birmingham, headquarters of
 Rear Admiral Albert -Gleaves. The
 Birmingham is at this port also in readiness to move at any moment. Except '- war game manoeuvres, the coast has not been covered by naval forces in such manner for years.
 Two destroyers are operating at Bos- ton harbor in compliance with the new, orders by which the neutrality service
 of recent months has been increased. They are the Warrington and Reid. with the Davis, a new destroyer, al- most ready for commission.

TWO GIRLS HELD IN THIS CITY AS CLEVER FoRGERS
Lynn Police Ask Local Au- thorities to Detain Pair
 of Visitors Here x
LEFT TRAIL OF BAD
 CHECKS AFTER THEM
Only IT, They Make Them selves Prominent In
 Cabaret Circles

Cabaret shows, costly raiment and the lure of high life, is alleged to have been responsible for the fall from grace of two we'll educated Lynn girls, Annette Barras and Anna Weiner. both only seventeen years of age, whom the police assert have left a trail of forged checks in Massachu- setts cities. They are being held on forgery charges by the local po- lice.
 The amazing career of the young women, whose operations rival in cleverness the work of Jim the Pen- man." was learned today after Lieut.. D. O. Cronan, had communicated with the police authorities in Lynn. where both reside.
 To the fact that they are exceeding ly pretty blondes and dress in the height of fashion, they may attribute their arrest in this city last night by Detectives F1ysn and Snery.
 The girls, who possess business college education, worked for prom inent Lynn concerns. and come from respectable parents, were seen on Washington avenue by the detectives going to the Lorraine hotel with two young men. The detectives followed and accosted them.
 Further than stating that they came to Bridgeport from Lynn to work, and roomed on East Main street, they refused to tell anything about them selves and were taken to police head quarters.
 The Lynn police, on being noti- fled. said the young women were wanted on forgery charges, and other law violations. and stated they would send for them today. Late this af- ternoon they will be taken back to Massachusetts,.
 A search of their dress suit cases disclosed jewels and personal effects and clothing in each valued at about $400.
