saIoniLi a sty of squalOr.

SaIoniki resembles most ports of the eastern Mediterranean in being pic ture of beauty from a distance and sty of squalor near at hand. It is, in fact, a slatternly Levantine town in a beautiful medieval setting, comedy in the mass, unpleasant in detail
 As you survey Salonflzf from the water it has a dignified air that ac- cords well with it's historical renown, being set in stately isolation upon the steep slopes of its bare hills and gir- dIed by ruined but still massive walls that rise to a great Venetian citadel on the landward side Graceful white minarets that the Turks built are sprin- kled about among the houses, and the quay, that is the chief street of the town, lined with picturesque Greek sailing craft, stretches for a full mile along the waters edge. But ashore, shut in by the narrow street of the Frank quarter" your vivid impress sion of squalor and slovenliness soon makes you forget the graceful picture from the sea.-G. Ward Price in Lon don Times.

Bridgeport's products and has quoted all available manufacturing sites to many industrial concerns contemplat- ing a change of location. The numper and character of inquiries received shows that the industrial advantages of Bridgeport are recognized through out the country. t The Chamber or Commerce has followed the policy Of requiring high credentials and assur- ances that industries contemplating
 moving to Bridgeport be not only financially sound, but of a character which will benefit by location in this district Many years experience has demonstrated to other cities that it Is not the best policy to offer artificial industrial inducements. Today, indus tries seek locations that Ire worth seeking and the Chamber of Commerce that works for a bigger and better city is forced to follow the new industrial philosophy. To make the city indus tria1ly good, it must be made humane Iy good. Living conditions must be right; it must provide good housing at cheap rentsy adequate marketing fa- cilities; it must surround it's factories with good moral conditions; it must eliminate sl1ns; it must provide rec reationa1 as we'll as educational activ- fties Such a program, all progressive cities are now following, having found that it is financial waste to attempt to allure questionable industries through the proffer of subsidy pIums. In other words, the Chamber of Commerce is attempting to consider the question of new industries in the broad light of the common good of industries which are already successfully established in Bridgeport. First effort is made to retain those industries which are now here and the next effort will be to pro-
 vide conditions which will attract new industries of the most desirable kind 9 A special effort will be made to foster the foreign trade of this city.
 Efforts along this line are said al-
 ready to have brought foreign con
 sl1as into personal touch with local
 manufacturers and a broader effort will be made during the coming year. l Special attention will be paid to l port conditions and also the devel- l opnent of markets for country pro- duce.
 Besides an election of officers and ] discussion of the Chamber of Com merce policies for the ensuing year, l John Barrett, director general of the Pan American union, will be a chief i speaker at tonight's gathering in the l new high school auditorium. He will give concise and enlightening re- view of possibilities of trade between l Bridgeport and other countries.

 When the dispute arose some time ago, Internal Revenue Collector J. J. Walsh laid the case before the authors lties at Washington. The federal of Bee held that the collector was right and ordered him to seize the goods if the tax weren't paid. The suit, in the nature of a. friendly action, will be the Rrst of it's kind tried.

Wealth and poverty are relative
terms and what to one person may
seem grinding poverty will to another
seem opulence itself. To a man who
has been out of work for many a long
month a job at two dollars day
would be most welcome, but it would
be considered miserable pittance by
man with $4,000 year salary. So

one was brought up and on the angle
of vision one takes. Blessed is the man
who lives betwixt and between the two
extremes, in that he has neither poverty
nor riches. It is that way contentment
