I'm the manufacture of Saxon mo-
tor cars especial attention is paid to
lightness. The Saxon Six Is an ex-
ceptionally light car for It's power
and size and yet workmanship or
quality Of materials have not been
sighted to lessen the total weight.
Stability, power and excellence
Of design have been made the first
principles and these have been OBJ
tanned along with the lightness.
Light weight, Of course, means i
saving on tire expense. It's the
heavy cars that wear out the tires
and this item alone is worth con-
sideration.
In Saxon cars, along with light
ness and stability. there is economy
In operation. The motors burn q
minimum amount OF gasoline In
comparis n with their power. Add
to that their neat appearance. their
refinement and their appointments
and you have the ideal car for gem
eral use, be II for pleasure or BUSH

thru the places where the big cars
stuck, the public sat UP and took
notice. said Claud Andrews. when
the light cars continued to operate
with their same power and reliabili-
| ty after trips over roads that were
considered impossible. the theories
that this kind Of travel would ruin
a light car were dispelled and the
public began to see that 1t Is possible
and also policy to construct a light
motor car which has the endurance
OF the oid-time heavy automobile.
No motorist, much as he may en-
joy the idea of driving car OF the
size that makes 1t comparable to q
traction engine, likes to be marooned
in a muddy road and have to call on
a team of horses to get him out.
Neither does he like to have to route
his country touring with view TO
the road over which he must ride
and not the scenery that he wants
TO view.
Like every man, he wants what
he wants when he wants 1t. And
the way for him to get that In mo-
toring Is to have q light, yet durable,
motor car. with motor OF power

CLANCY AND CORR
 WON'T RUN AGAIN
 FOR THE COUNCIL
Both Aldermen Want to De- vote Time to Their Own
 Affairs.

Alderman Frank J. Clancy, Demo- crat from the Fourth district, has an- nounced that he will not be a candi- date for renomination this fall. He and his brother, Jeremiah J. Clancy, have recently extended their business interests and the alderman becau-e of press of business has decided not to seek another term. It is expected there will be a large gathering of Democrats at Columbus Park, next Sunday, when the Clancy brothers will give their annual sheep roast and out ing. The Democratic candidate for alderman from the Fourth will prob ably be tacitly agreed on at that gath ering.
 Alderman William F. Corr, Demo- crat, of the Second district, has also signified that he does not desire a re- nomination. Alderman Corr also de- sires to retire from public life to de- vote all his attention to his private affairs.
 Alderman Daniel T. Harrigan, Dem ocrat, of the Eighth district, whose term expires in November, has not de- cided whether or not he will seek a renomination. There is talk in the district where he, lives of nominating him as candidate for senator from the z2nd district. Alderman Harrigan for the past year has been the Democratic house leader in the common council. Friends of Attorney John A. Cornell talk of him as senatorial candidate from the 22nd district.

Twenty Years Ago.
BATHING AT THE PARK

A suggestion has been offered for a public bath house off the boulevard at Seaside Park. The suggestion is a good one. but there Is no money for the purpose, a fact which the people know, and they are making the best of the circumstances without any complaint. The surf at the foot of the sec wall at the park is delightful for bathing. as the water is general ly clear there: the big rocks that skirt the beach afford 8 very good seat and rack for clothes. and it is all free. The best spot Is down beyond the boule- yard off the breakwater rocks, the majority of the bathers enjoy all the pleasure and comfort of nudity. The spot Is beyond public travel. and no complaint has been made yet of mis- behavior, by the bathers, who are, as a rule. well to do fellows, who would assist in stopping objectionable ac- tons and preserving decency. It can not be denied that bathing without those woolen suits. Is far superior in every way than with them, and with boys only there is nothing ob- jectionable in it.
 As things exist there is no great de- mand for the public bath house, only for the benefit of women and this privilege should be afforded them. However, they have the private bath houses at Pleasure Beach and else where till the city fathers solve the bathhouse question. Bathing ap- pears to be very popular this year anyway.

B. c. U. TO HAVE
 HISTORY BRICK
 BUILDING SOON
Plans Completed For New Home of Bank Street Mis-

Plans for the new building that will house the Bridgeport Christian Union at 24 Bank street were pre- sented this week by Architects Briggs &, Caldwell to the board of directors at their meeting and 1t is expected that work on the new building, which will be a four story brick and con- crete, flreproof structure, will soon commence. The lot has a frontage of 87 feet on Bank street and a depth of 100 feet and it is believed that with the new building the work of the mission can be carried on with greater scope.

Odd jobs were given to 437 of the men and 97 received pieces of wearing apparel. Five hair cut tickets and IT tickets for free slaves were distributed. At the religious services 2,059 attended. The men themselves contributed $15.35 to the Thank you' fund to show their appreciation of the ef- forts in their behalf.
 Articles of clothing and old shoes will be accepted by the superintendent for distribution among the needy in mates. The committee in charge of the new building comprises, George c. Edwards, president of the union; c. w. Simpson, superintendent; w. A. Smith, G. H. Edwards and E. W. Harral.

II. 6. HOOVER,
 }. FOOD ENGINEER

For -yeArs the name of Herbert Clark Hoover has been well and fa- 'vorablyi known in engineering and
 mining circles, but the general pub lie had little or no knowledge of him
 until he came into prominence as
 chairman of the American Belgian Relief Commission. His work in that capacity has given him an interna- |ttonal reputation. while in Belgium his name will be treasured as one
 of the suffering nations greatest ben
 efactors. MT. Hoover was born forty
 two years ago today at West Branch. Iawo. He was educated at Leland Stanford University, California, grad uating in mining engineering in 1895. He nimmediately found employment in the United States Geological Survey, lin the Sierra Nevada mountains, hav- Ing had previous experience in the Arkansas Theological Survey. He left the public sservfce in 1896 to become assistant manager of mining proper fies located in New Mexico and Cali |fornia- The following year he went Ito Australia, where he was a mine manager until 1899, when he accept ed the post of chief engineer of the Chineset Imperial Bureau of Mines. He CafTleQ On cxIcuSlNo cApiOIdlAOuS HI the Anterior of China, where few white men had ever penetrated. and took part in the defense of Tientsin during 1.-the Boxer disturbance. In 1902 MT. Hoover became a partner in a Lon don firm of mine operators, and since l then he has been interested in min | ing properties in several parts of the world.
 His scientific training and long ex- perfence as an engineer stood MT. Hooversin good stead when he accept ed the difficult post of directing the relief of the hungry people of Bel gium. As flood engineer" he prov
 ed quite as capable as he had been as a mining engineer, and scarcely a criticism has ever been made of his work. Acting as the agent of the people of America and the govern
 ments of Great Britain and France,
 he supervised the expenditure of
 about $10,O00,000 month in aid
 ing the destitute Belgians. Liberals as have been the American private
 contributions to the Belgian fund, they have been but a drop in the buc-
 ket, and the major part of the bur- den of saving Belgians from starva- ton has fallen upon the French and
 British governments. The credit for
 the wise and expeditions manage
 ment of Belgian relief does belong
 almost wholly to Americans, however, and to MT. Hoover most of all is the credit due.
