AN AMERICAN INSTITUTION.

The American labor union began its
existence at the beginning Of the Ma
tons life.
In 1908 the Ship Carpenters organized
in New York: in 1906 the House Carpen-
ters. and later the Type Settlers. In 1880
the different branches were federated
into 4 brotherhood.
Out of these humble beginnings has
come the sturdy. splendid institution that
stands summit like among the American
institutions OF today.

LABOR PAPER AS AN ADVER-
Using MEDIUM.

PRINTERS INK. the recognized
authority on advertising, after a
thorough investigation on this sub
jeet. says:
"A labor paper is a far better ad-
vertising medium than an ordinary
newspaper in comparison with circu-
lation. A labor paper. for example,
having 1000 subscribers, is of more
value to the business man who sd-
vertises in it, than an ordinary
paper with $4,000 subscribers"

KEENEY'S EMPIRE
LIKENED TO STRAND

A learned man, wise to the World,
its people, and their ways, once wrote,
One thing is to secure a name, an
other to hold it,
What a world of meaning in those
few simple words.
The above quotation may be ap-
piled to Keeney's Empire theatre.
This theatre through the excellent
programs presented, consisting of the
very best in the photo-play line, has
built up its patronage and achieved
the distinction of being 'cIassed as
Bridgeport's leading photoplay thea
ire, retaining its way-ahead-o f-the-
others class through the untiring eff
fort of Frank A. Keeney and his 10
cal manager, George Green.
It stands to reason that the real
object Of the many photoplay-enthu-
siasts Of this city, who continue night
after night and week after week at
tending this leading theatre of Silent
Drama Masterpieces, do SO because at
all times this theatre presents high
class photoplay programs that are
the best that money can obtain and
that the programs at all times offered
please, entertain and appeal to the
majority.
The Strand theatre in New York
is the finest photop1ay theatre in New
York City and the Empire theatre of
this city may not only be called
'Bridgeport's Leading Photoplay
Theatre but the Strand of the En-
tire State, a broad statement, yet the
truth of it can be vekifed by wit
Messing one or more of the excellent
programs presented.-AdV.

For that eve he watched and waited.
With a heart by hope elated,
! Peering, searching for a face
Full of mischief as of grace,
And his glance crept far and wide
With some fear he could not hide
Do you think the girls and their
more knowing spinster sisters are go
| ing to let leap year pass without max
! ing the most of it? Not they. Hus-
bands may not be won by their soft
Establishments, but they are going to
have q. deal of fun out of it anyhow.
Young men who have been rather
listIess about party going or party
giving have decided upon brilliant
| campaign. Many a young man VINO
sat in a girls parlor week in and week
out, taking her to see the movies once
in a fortnight, or s"once in dogs
life to enjoy a plate of ice cream at
his expense will be obliged to sit up
and take notice of his girls secret no
ton as to entertaining and being en-
tertained.
He will find there is to be something
doing every evening of the week, quite
a contrast from wearing out daddy $
chairs and burning his coal. First of
all, he'll receive an invitation to a
leap year dance. She will make him
walk both ways, as he has so often
caused her to do. She'll treat to the
feasting and when he sees with what
gusto she can enjoy the delicac1es Of
the seasoI1-as well as a solid meal in
the bargain-he cannot help but re-
fleet that his ten-cent treat must have
looked FATHER small to her.
In subtle ways she shows him how
to be the right kind of sport if his
money comes easy and he Is not
obliged to work hard to earn it. She
and. her dozen bosom friends show
him and his chuns how much girls
enjoy straw rides and a fine old fash
toned chicken dinner at a hospitab1e
wayside inn.
When he is quite sure that she is
thinking of proposing marriage to him
onl their next outing, the sly mink
challenges him to accept an invitation
to a leap year apron par
ty. He is hidden to come alone wear
ing his highest Starched collar, but
minus his tie. At the door of the home
where the party is to be, stands a de-
mure maiden with a basket of sealed
envelopes, which contains a calico tie.
This he must don and seek within the
maiden whose apron corresponds with
the tie he has on, and he is in duty
bound to devote himself to her excIu-
sively during the evening.
OF course there is a <whirl of nnerri-
ment and the affair is a dash and a go
from the start, but if he is Of a jeal-
GUS temperament he does not relish
seeing a. detested rival enjoying his
sweetheart's smiles.
OF course the rival takes the girl
home. He doesn't sleep a wink that
night, but makes haste to propose to
his girl ere the next racket Of that
kind can take place.
These leap year affairs will be eye
openers to many a laggard in the love
path. Girls who are tired of waiting
will coyIy take advantage of the love
gods offer to exchange the man who
only making a pretense for the ear
nest young man who is anxious to wed
quite as SOON as he comes across a
girl he knows he can love.

TODAY'S POEM
CAROL OF THE CRUsHER.

Brothers of mine, the fools who think
small
Will never learn the power of the
mite,
Yet have they felt the Jersey skeet-
er's bite;
Yet have they heard baby's mid
night call;
Yet have they known a four-foot
maiden's thraH,
Out of proportion to that girlie's
height;
Yet have they seen a taxicab at
night
Turn out a bill to top the wooIworth
So we, my brothers, ugly, fat of face
Are a huge army, deadly in our pow
err,
Aiding one monarch, dragging 9TH
ers down,
