| ent day in Japan is how to increase
the supply of iron. The present con-
dition is far from satisfactory, because
to meet the average demand for L.
100000 tons a year the total home
supply is only $4,000 tons. The bulk
of Japan's iron used in manufacture
comes from China and the present
session of the Diet voted an extension
of Japanese iron foundries which are
located in Kyushu. This is expected
to meet the increased home demand
for the metal. Meantime imports
from the United States are increasing.
The Woodworking Industry in ia
pan has in recent years made remark
able progress, but the home market
must still rely upon the foreign sup
ply to the amount of over 100000
year. The war, however, has pre-
vented imports and the figures for last
year showed decrease of about 70
per cent. compared with 1913. On the
other hand the export of wooden fab
RIGS exported to Russia last year
prices are about so per cent higher
than before the war. Meantime the
weaving industry will be aided by the
arrival of 100000 tons of tops of
wool which will be shipped this month
from England, the embargo having
been removed. The prospect is that
the market will continue strong.
Japanese manufacturers of toys
which are now exported in great guam
titles to the United States to replace
Gerrnan-made toys are Inconvenience
by the scarcity and DEAFNESS of raw
materials. These include paper of
various kinds ,tin-foi1, cotton and silk
cloth, dyes, cardboard, metal wire and
ce1luloid. Owing to the shortage of
the supply of paper from abroad and
the shortage, of pulp at home paper
prices have SCARED. All japanese
magazines have increased their prices
twenty per cent. japanese printed
books have also risen.
The cost of production of toys has
not greatly checked the demand which
continues brisk1y for Immediate ship
Inent. Calls come from the United
States, South America, Australia and
India. Exporters are discovering
that American consumers prefer toys
made of silk and paper or wood. Man
ufacturers and exporters have banded
together to keep up the quality of
their goods on account of some COM
plants of inferior workmanship.

OUR CANDIDATE FOR RERx

The choice of the convention has
fallen upon NATHANIELw WHEELER
and an excellent choice it was. Mr..
Wheeler is one of the most liberal,
enterprising and public spirited men
of which the town of Bridgeport can
boast. At this day and time, in the
best and truest sense of the word, he
is a representative man ow the town,
and ought to be triumphant1y elected.
We thrust he will be. With suitable
efforts we feel sure he will be. In his
hands the interests of the Bridgeport
can be safely trusted.
Bishop in the Senate and Wheeler
in the House-what better pair can
be desired to attend to the welfare
of our growing place in the General
Assembly? Let US to ourselves the
honor to elect them.

Cost of Dying Is
Soaring Along With
The Cost of Living

Along with all the other necessities
of life, the cost of collins is going
up and if they continue to proceed
at the pact they have set during the
past six months the workingman will
soon find dying too expensive a lux
.ury.
Local undertakers have received
word of an increase of 25 per cent. on
baskets and supplies, making a raise
of SO per cent. on these articles during
the past six months. The prices or
cheaper caskets have been advanced

ones each cost fromf$S to $40 more.

about half an hour later.
"A belt had broken and after he had
mended it he attempted to adjust the
belt and his arm was caught and in an
instant he was drawn up to- the shaft
and whirled around it. The alarm
was given and the power was stopped
as quick as possible. He suffered a
fracture of one of the arms and a
compound fracture of one Of the legs
and internal injuries. Medical Exam
liner Downs said there was no need of
an inquest.
The victim of the accident has been
employed by the Brass Co., for many
years and was a German who came

There was very heavy vote cast in
the Democratic Primaries 1ase even
ing. On account of the substitution
of the old for the new voting lists
there was some discussion at the pri-
maries. Quite a few voters have
changed their residences and they
were unable to deposit their ballots.
The election of the Clampett ticket
in the Seventh was the only surprise
of the evening, as it was confidently
expected that the ticket headed by P.
L. Martin would be successful A
strong fight was waged in the first
where the opposing delegations were
headed respectively by Attorney G. S.
Garfield and Alderman John Weldon.
The Garfield ticket won by so votes.
In the triangular fight in the Ninth
the ticket headed by ex-A1derman
Thomas Flynn was victorious, having
more votes than the other two com
binations. The O'Rourke ticket was
victorious in the 18th district, defeat
ing the Quinlan. ticket by about 80
votes. The ticket headed by John
Regain in the 18th district was victo-
rfous over the slate led by r. B.
Stiles.
This is the way the nominations for

ternoon when he was waited upon by
the delegates from his district and
pressed to allow his name to be used.
Mr.. Stapleton said he wanted the del

rnitted to probate, directs that the

Mccormack to Sing
Next Week Friday
In Woolsey Hall

The appearance of John Mccormack
| at Woolsey hall, New Haven, under
the auspices of Yale University, next
Friday evening will be one of the
many sterling events of New Haven's
exceptionally fine music season.
| Indications already point to an alb
tsoIute1y sold out house. Therefore
announcement is made thus early of
the advance sale of seats at the es-
adjustments of M. Steinert & Sons
/ Co., at New Haven, Bridgeport, Wa
terbury, etc.
Mccormack made his American de-
but in November 1909, as a member
of the Manhattan Opera Company,
and Immediately became one of the
most popular artists in the musical
world. The two seasons following he
was engaged with the Philadelphia
Chicago Opera Company, and later
with the Boston Opera Company. Du-
ring this period he appeared as guest
at several performances at the Metro
po1itan Opera House, New York; In
the fall of 1911 he went to Australia
as principal tenor of the company or
ganized by Nine. MeIba. His CON
quest of the Island Continent was
Immediate and complete. On the re-
turn journey from the Antipodes TO.
London he gave number of concerts
enroute across the American CONT
nent.
During the season of 1928 in ad-
dition> to his work with the Boston
Opera Company he gave seventy con-
certs in the United States and Canada,
breaking all attendance records in the
concert world. In the fall of 1913 he
paid return visit to Australia, this
time for concert tour, scoring one
of the most pronounced successes in
musical history in any part of the
world. Twenty crowded concerts in
Sydney Town Hall, with a capacity of
nd n in
hall of almost equal dimensions,
stands as a record never approached
in that country by any other artist,
male or female.

FEAST OF THE ANNUNC1Ar1oN

This day was formerly one of the
most important feast days in the
Catholic church. 1T was called the
feast of the Annunciation, for on that
day the Angel Gabriel announced to
the Virgin Mary that she was to be
the mother of the Redeemer of Man
kind. 1t was one of the holy days
of obligation that was abolished by
the last p1enary council, but it is still
observed by many of the faithful who,
accustomed to observing the feast
from childhood, are reluctant to aban-
don their devotions at this late day.

Eyade Responsibility.
CBy the International News serviee.)

CBy the International News serviceo
New York, Aug. 24-'The Wilson ad-
rnfnixtratIon can no more evade response
bIlity for lives lost at Vera Cruz than
purge itself of the blood OF hundreds
Of Americans in Mexico, as a horrible
aftermath Of 'watchful. waiting" said
Chairman Ralph D. Cole, OF the Republi-
can National Speakers Bureau today.
Answering Secretary Daniels denial
that the American forces at Vera Cruz
were under orders not to FIRE until fired
upon, Chairman Cole said:
Admiral Fletcher IN his report on the
evening Of April q, 1914, said:
"'Our men are only firing when fired

Consul General Canada in his report
said: Our men are simply defending
themselves
The New York Suns cabled report
from Vera Cruz, April q, said:
Admiral Fletchers orders were
that the landing party should occupy
these positions (custom house, etcO and
make no attack on Mexican troops unless
they were attacked.
That statement as to Admiral Flech-
eFs orders, made IN a reputable news
paper was not denied at the time. Who
gave Admiral Fletcher such orders, OF
course, they came from the Navy Depart
ment and equally of course, President

MRS, VIM, BOWERS
LIVED ON LIQUID DIET
Two Bottles of Dreco Puts
Her on Solid Food and the
Road to Health.

I'm 2 years Of age and have suffered
for years from liver trouble, poor ap-
petite to the point where the doctors
put me on a liquid diet, till I lost all
desire for food Of any sort. I had four
doctors in all, and I surely thought
they ought to know what they were
doing! I had rheumatism, like lots of
people Of my age, and the worst sort of
pains in my back; was bilious most of
the time; had gastrius till I had more
pain in my stomach than I ever had
food; heartburn once in a while to add
to my troubles, and my tongue was
coated and my breath unpleasant a good
deal Of the time, and a great sufferer
from asthma, which kept me very weak.
I'm on my third bottle Of Dreco now,
and honestly you wouldn't know it was
the same woman. Every single one Of
these complaints and some others l
haven't mentioned have been corrected.
and most OF them entirely cured, and
I'm going to stick to Dreco for another
bottle, just to make sure
Instead OF being a weak. rundown
woman, living on liquids and getting
weaker all the time. I'm eating like any
body else, and am getting to feel as I
did when l was 20 years younger. II you
think this might help put anybody else
on the right track, tell them about me-"
The Dreco man explains that he has
great many cases where practically
the same result has oeen gotten-but
in Mrs. Bowers case the advanced age
and the long-standing case OF rheuma-
tism and otoer troubles really does prove
unusual merit for Dreco. Mrs Bowers
lives at $40 Maple Avenue, Baltimore.
