The Seekers and The Dodgers

When we look for >troul lble we al- ways find it. When we try, to dodge real trouble it always finds us.
 Are you trouble seeker or a trouble dodger, or are you an intelligent human being?
 Plain common sense makes a man know real trouble when he sees it. It enables him to find out the actual causes of the trouble and how to do away with these causes.
 The lazy man or the coward tries to dodge it. Only the fool tries to cover it up. The worst way to try and solve trouble is to start out with club.
 All club can accomplish is to hammer the fighters into condition where they will accept sense and req son, generally furnished by an out slider.
 l(l The fighters themselves are usually too much used up to have anything in their sYs- tems except bitterness.
 If we go looking for it we can create whole lot of trouble in solving the homes problem or any other problem. n When you come to think of it the Great War in Europe is attempt to solve the housing problem on a grand scale.

Who ever caused it, or whatever name you call it, the real issue is whether Ger many shall be free to give homes to her people where ever they want them. This is what she means by Cher place in the sun.'
 Is there any human being who believes go that, however the war ends, the results can be worth a>millionth part of the cost? Or that the whole trouble could not have been solved if the leaders of the nations had been blessed with enough sense and foresight to realize the truth? Now both sides are being hammered into receptive state of mind @
 Who is doing the paying? Who always pays?
 The prosperity right here in Bridgeport shows that the fighters themselves never reap the real profits.
 If we seek trouble, or we dodge trouble in this problem or getting homes for people who need them, we are going to hurt our selves and hurt Bridgeport.
 We can't solve it with clubs, but we can solve it with common sense, by looking further ahead than next week. by getting together and playing fair to. both those who build the homes and those who want to live in them.

Kolb and Dill Make Another BID
Hit with a Five-Act
Comedy.

Kolb and Dill. the German comedians
OF stage fame, have recorded another
stupendous success in their film YER
sion Of "Bluff," a nve act comedy per-
sonally supervised and presented by
Samuel s. Hutchinson, president OF the
American Film Company, Inc.
Given a story with n strong punch,
the comedians. and the entire cast,
including May Cloy and Thomas Chat
terton, have given an excellent account
OF themselves at every point.
The inimitable comedy which has
made these two famous is reflected on
the screen, and their charactcriations
are especially appalling contrasted
with the quick thinking and acting
Of the modern business "bluners."
Throughout the five reels the love
story is prettily carried. eliminating
in success and happiness as reward
for the goodness and generosity pre-
valent in the heart OF the story char
acters.

Denied the ocean, she began to

While alone she entered the bath
room and constructed a simple con-

force of the water. and make eddies
in the little pond in the tub.
Then she removed her clothes and
entered the water. Tho revolutions

woman was gently buoyed. Her face
was in the water. her body was sway

little waves were all tapping in the
tub, the body was floating gently in
the tide, and the face of the victim
who loved tho sea was TRANSPORTED
