Special to The Farmer. }

Hartford, Sept. 2O-Three Bridge port motorists were before Secretary of States Burnes yesterday aftern oon. Harry Pylyphuc lost his license for 30 days after hearing on the charge of speeding. Albert Roberts had little excuse for reckless driving and his license was suspended indefinitely.

 The license of Howard Dillisten of Stepney Depot, was suspended for an indefinite perfod because of reckless driving Herbert J. Potter of Green wich, was allowed to keep his license. He said he never was arrested be- fore. Herman H.. w. Sommerlade e of. Greenwich, admitted he had been guilty of reckless driving but the sec retary didn't take away his license. The policeman who arrested him said the young man had reformed" As it was the first offense of Harold Young Of Rowayton, who admitted speeding a httle," his license was not taken. Fred Andrews of Norwalk, submitted evidence to prove that he hadn't operated his car while intox- cated and the secretary returned his license to him.

SAN DIEGO SUN
 WANTS WILSON FOR PRESIDENT
Friends of Hiram Johnson, Moose-G. O. P. Leader,
 Out For Executive.

New York, Sept. 20-Supporters of Hiram Johnson, Progressive Repub- lican candidate for United States Sem ator of California, are rallying to the standard of Woodrow Wilson. The San Diego Sun, an independent news paper. although advocating the elec- tion of Governor Johnson, has repudi- ated the candidacy of Charles Evans Hughes and has declared unequivo- calIy for the reelection of President Wilson.
 In the editorial announcement of its position the Sun says in part: First of all the Sun is for Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. It is for Woodrow Wilson because it be- lieves he has to his credit a greater story of genuine achievement than has been vouchsafed to any other Presi- dent since Abraham Lincoln"
 "It is for Wilson because he has been the President of the whole peo- ple and not for any certain few of the people. It is for Wilson because it's opposed to swapping horses while en- gagged in crossing a mighty dark and very treacherous stream in the middle of the night; and finally, it is for Wilson because the big predatory in- terests of the country, the interests il has fought, Lo, these many years, are almost solidly lined up behind the Re- publican candidate" N.

Italians Celebrate
 Their Glorious { "Venti Settembre"

'eventi Settembre"-the twentieth
 of September-is a date which to
 Italians possesses all the patriotic sig nificance which an American attaches
 to the Fourth of July or Frenchman
 to "Quatorze Jullet." It is the an-
 niversary of the capture of Rome by
 the Italian troops on Sept 20, 1870.
 when the soldiers of Italia unita' en-
 tered the Eternal City through a
 breach in the Porta Pia. and thus re-
 alized the dream of Roma capitale"
 for an Italy reunited.
 Todays celebration gains added sig
 nificance from the fact that Italy is
 now fighting for the realization of an-
 other ambition-the restoration of
 that Italia irredenta" which has so
 long been held under the Austrian
 yoke.
 It was a Cadorna who led his sol-
 diers through the breach in the Porta
 Pia forty-six ears ago today, and it
 is another Cadorna, son of the illus
 trious hero of the '70s; who is now leading his armies through the noun
 tain passes to Italia irredenta. All
 Italy, myriad-hued with flags today
 in celebrating the victory of the elder
 Cadorna, and ablaze with patriotic
 enthusiasm, is supreGnely confident
 that the son will win for himself an even higher place than the father in the roll of Italian heroes,
 It has been almost sixteen months since Italy entered the war. Those who expected that the addition of Italy to the list of foes of the Central Empires would have a marked and immediate effect have been disap- pointed In some quarters there has been tendency to criticise the Ital- fans on the allegation that they have
 not borne their full share of the bur den. Such critics reckon without the tremendous natural barriers which | ualy's military leaders have had to overcome.
 Italy's defenders insist that. the early reverses of the Russians might have fbeen vastly more disastrous had rot Italy entered the conflict at a time
 which was critical, necessitating the employment by Austria of a vast number of troops on her Southern boundaries In thus dividing the Austrian forces, Italy llas made pos sible the great Russian offensive of [ this year.
 Unprejudiced testimony as to the value of Italy's participation was giv- i en by Tn omas Nelson Page, the Unit | ed States ambassador to Rome, on the occasion of his recent visit to Ameri- ca.
 Nothing has surprised me more,'' | said Mr. Page. than the idea that Italy has taken a less active part than | the other members of the alliance | in the serious operations of the war. l It is not for me to discuss either the | policies or the parts that different | members of the alliances on either side have played in this terrible con l test, but certainly I can correct an | impression so erroneous as that which l find quite general.

INTEREST SHOWN IN
 RECLAIM CAMPAIGN

The Waste Reclaim campaign for the benefit of the Orthopedic Fund got fairly under way today. The idea of converting into money this waste ma terial which the average housewife is at a loss to know what to do with seems to meet with the approval of the women of Bridgeport. The boys who are distributing the bags say they meet smiling faces at every door and many expressions of earnest CO., operation in tlds work for the relief of the little infantile paralysis suffer- CTS
 The Boys Department of the Y. M. c. A., is cooperating by furnish ing boys to help in the. distrtbution and collection of the bags, and the motion picture theatres have express ed their willingness to help give pwb- hcity to the campaign by running ad- vertising slides reminding the people to fill the bags. NA
 Hartford and Springfield, Mass, have just finished similar campaigns in each of which about $500 was cleared for soldiers relief work. It is estimated by the interest being shown here that over twice that amount will be turned over to the Orthopedic Fund when the campaign is finish ed.
 The distribution of the bags will continue until the whole city and vi- cinity has been covered, and the col lection of the filled bags will begin Monday. Sept 25, and continue daily from 8 a. m. to 2 p. ID. until the campaign is finished.

FLEXIBILITY OF EIGHT- CYLINDER CADILLAC IS
 DEMONSTRATED BY TEST

Running one mile an hour through the traffic in the center of the city, climbing to the center of Courtland hill from a standing start, at five miles an hour and thereafter at 35 miles an hour, and taking Sport Hill at all speeds are among the achievements of the Cadillac eight-cy1inder engine. a demonstration of which was held Fri day.
 Ralph Barnes, manager of the Cad lilac branch, with three witnesses showed the flexibility of the motor for any sort of road condition.
 Sport Hill was taken at speeds vary ing from three to 55 miles per hour and in addition to this performance the car was stopped on the steepest incline then started and picked up to any speed suggested. A feature of the test was that the motometer never moved from the normal heat of 130 throughout the day. The 1917 Cad lilac has new smart lines, luxurious upholstery and a mechanically per feet engine. R

Everybody loves to possess good furniture.

GIVE INTERPRETATION OF
 WIDOWS PEI SION LAW

Following is an interpretation or the new widows pension law which passed Congress only two days before the final adjournment. A large number of widows who have been seeking 1n- creases of pensions will find relief un- der the new law:
 If a pesson\is now pensioned as the widow of a soldier, sailor or marine who served in the Civil War and was his lawful wife during the period or his services in said war, or Is pen stoned as the widow of soldier, or marine who served in the Civil War. the War with Mexico, or the War or 1872, and has reached the age or io years, she should write letter to tho commissioner of pensions, departments of the interior, being careful to state correctly her pension certificate num- beP, the name and service of the sol dier sailor, or marine, the exact date of her birth, the place of her pirth' her name as it appears in her pension certificate. and her present post off1ce address in full. No further formal application is necessary to secure the benefits of the increase of pension granted by the first section of the new law.
 If the evidence in her pension case shows that she is entitled to the 1n- crease of pension provided by this leg islation, the bureau will as soon as possible grant the increase. If fur- ther evidence is necessary, call VIII be issued by the pension bureau. No claim agent or. attorney will be recog-
