E. WASHINGTON AVENUE TRACKS
 MUST BE USED
Public Utilities Commission Denies Discontinuance
 Petition.

The public utilities commission has denied the appeal of the Connecticut O., from the action of Mayor Wilson and the common. council, refusing the company's request for permission to abandon tracks on East Washington avenue from Main stret to Noble av- enue. The commission says:
 "The street railway service in Bridgeport could be maintained at a better standard if the East Washing ton avenue and the Congress street routes are both used"
 The company's plan was to use Congress street only..'
 In the winter of 1911-12 because of
 the unsafe condition of East Washing ton avenue bridge the company aban-
 doned the use of this route. Prior to
 that Barnum avenue cars had been
 routed through East Washington av-
 enue to Main street. When the new
 wooden block pavement was laid to. Noble avenue, the Connecticut Co.,, as is it's custom, laid new rails. paved its
 part of the street and replaced with iron poles the wooden poles that for merly supported the overhead wires.
 About a month ago the company petitioned the mayor and common council for permission to remove the tracks and poles in East Washington avenue. The rails had been carried to Noble avenue but no connection was made there Members of the common council held that the company is seeking to give up the East Washing ton avenue route and wanted to avoid paying for a share of the new bridge that will be built over the Pequon- mock river. The city officials also opposed the abandonment of the East Washington avenue route on the ground that the growth of the city and increase in traffic congestion, re- quired that the East Washington ave- nue line be opened again soon. The city officials held that after the new bridge is built the Connecticut Co. probably would reconstruct its line over though the street but in the meantime would have avoided paying it's share in the cost of the new bridge.
 The Connecticut Co. officials, who appeared before the commission ad- mitted that the expense of the com pany's share of the new. bridge was a factor in the determination to aban- don the route but they also said that the line could not be operated at a profit although they admitted it would relieve congestion during the rush hours.
 Almost every alderman has been asked by constituents to endeavor to have this line resumed. The news that the line must be resumed when the new bridge is built will be receiv- ed with much satisfaction by persons who have occasion to cross the river daily >..s 4

 Spread Over Face Used Resinol. Skin Now Beautiful
Used ResinOl.

Seattle, Wash, Sept 2, 1915.-''A small red place covered with little white scales appeared beside my nose. Then 1t began to spread over both sides of my face and the scales cracked open, causing a terrible itching and burning. It was horrible looking and very embarrassing. tried many salves but could get no relief. At last I heard of Resinol Ointment and Resinol Soap, and applied them as directed. The burning and itching sensation was re- 1ieved at once and in three weeks I was entirely cured. My face shows no sign of breaking out now. in fact, my skin is considered beautiful" (Signed) Nriss Elsie D. Collins, 1920 F. Madison St.

WAS THE CENSOR A LADY?

Shortly after the war began a
woman received a letter addressed to
her by her husband. She opened the
envelope, which had already been
opened once by the censor, and in
stead of the expected letter she found
a slip of paper bearing these words:
''Your husband is well, but too COM
municatiVe."
Cupid is a good shot, but he bags
some poor game.

If, on the other hand, she returns
to her crowded tenement house, she
finds all her friends and the people
about her living in the same way she
lives, and does not pity herself in the
least.
am not saying all working peo-
pie should not have the best of rooms
and the most comfortable of beds.
They deserve them.
But they do NOT have them now
and so why not facts?
The girl in domestic service has
better food and quite as good room
as the average shop or>factory girl,
and counting her board and room
earns more money.
Why then are housewives all over
the country asking for help while |
girls are flOcking to the shops and |
factories.
Because the girl who hires out for |
general homework has no particular |
work to do and no particular time to
do it.
Until something is done by which |
a girl snail nave only eight hours OF |
work and the remainder of the time |
to herself, homework will always be |
almost selling ones self into slavery. |
Personally, think, and have de-
monstrated my theory, no girl should |
be housed at the place where she
works.
She should work her hours care
fully and Loyalty, then take leave as
she would any other place of bust
ness.
If a girl is hired to do the house
work, she should not be asked to
care for or wait on children or sick
people.
Her work should be clearly defined
and both employer and empIoye
should hold carefully to the agree
ment-then and then only will home

Ell Paso, Jan. 12.-Dispatches to
H.C MyIes, British diplomatic agent
here, today confirmed Chihuahua re-
ports that 10 American. mining men
had been taken from train and muir
dered by Mexican bandits, and added
that two British subjects had also
been slim, increasing list of the dead
to 18. F.
Fl Paso, Jan. II. - Precautions
we're taken by U. S. troops all along
the Mexican border today to restrain
ranchmen and mining men from
crossing into Mexico to wreak sum-
mary vengeance on bandits reported
to have murdered from II to -
Americans near Chihuahua.
Strict censorship on dispatches
from Chihuahua capital left Ell Paso-
doubtful today as to the exact iden-
tity of the bandit leader, but it is
thought he was Gen. Jose E. Rodri-
guez, former Villista chieftian.
Bodies of murdered men were be-
ieved en- route to Juarez today in
custody of CarranZista soldiers.
The Americans, who we're en- route
to their mining camp in Western
Chihuahua, were taken from the
train about SO miles from Chihua-
hua City, stripped and shot down, &C
cording to meager story of Thos. M.
Holmes of Ell Paso, believed to be the
only survivor.
Holmes hid in the lavatory of the
train when bandits, said to have
numbered from $50 to 800, stopped
the train.
The men were employees of Cusi-
huriachic Mining Co., in which Pot
ter and Honore Palmer interests in
Chicago own considerable stock.

ton of Carranzista government in a
territory filled with Carranzista
