Asking that the city be bonded for

Socialist party presented resolution
to the common council last night. The
petition did not outline any plans for
expanding the money or regulating
the dwellings and it was referred to

Alderman Tierney proposed to in
troduce> the merit system in the fire
department suggested that hereafter
promotions be made according to
ability displayed by the f1remen. The
matter was referred to the ordinance
committee which Alderman Whitney
is chairman.
No one opposed the petition of the
Bridgeport Trust Co. for the change
in building line on the south side of
State street between Broad and Main
streets. 1t was explained by rep

change would not affect any Of the

THE PROBLEMS OF
RETAIL TRADE-NO.>1

This is the first of series of edito-
trials on the above subject as previous
| Iy announced. It is hoped that it
will make some useful suggestions,
both to the public and ITO the mer-
chants.
This is a period when many people
buy for appearances, rather than for
durable. values. If an article looks
attractive, Inny people will buy it, even
If their own judgment nd the store
people warn them it will not give
durable wear. AS durable goods are
often not stylish, and as stylish goods
are often not durable, the merchant
is a good deal puzzled as to which
quality the public really values the
more highly,
There are probably not SO many
good judges of the value of fabrics as
in former years. The old timers, even
in making a small purchase, scrutin-
lied it very carefully, and ,deIiberated
thoughtful1y often asked advice of
neighbors and friends. To-day the
thought that used to go into the mat
ter of wear is devoted to the question
of style or fit.
Modern science has developed many
methods of making cheap goods ap-
pear attractive. One merchant said
the other day that though he had
been in business 20 years. he was fire.
quently unable to detect the presence
of poor material. c1everly is it con-
ceaIed. So he had to ask the sales
man what the goods were made of.
and had to depend on their honesty,
as evidenced by past dealings and the
record of the houses they represent.
If an experienced dealer, is thus some
times deceived by clever limitations
the general public is even less able to
buy on it's own judgment alone,
So the public dependa more than ev-
er on the honesty of the men with
whom it is dealing. Here comes in
the advantage of dealing with the
merchants near ones home. They
can't afford to sell goods that are not
as represented. A sale made under a
misunderstanding or false impression
is left handed advertising of the worst
kind. The success of the home mer-
chant is dependent upon selling goods
for just what they are.

TRY TO PAY FOR
HELP RECEIVED AT
PROTECTIVE HOME
Girls and Women Return More
Than $500 to Association
Treasury.

More than $500 has been returned
to the treasury of the Bridgeport Pro-
tective association during the last
year by girls who. not long ago, were
j absolutely penniless and had no home
or boarding place in this city.
According to, the annual report Of
the Protective Home superintendent,
Miss Katherine I. Hewitt, t1eN graft
tude of girls and women who have
been aided during the last year has
been manifest in a pleasing manner.
Conscious of their Obligation those
who have been benefited have tried,
unsolicited, to pay for the things they
received from the association.
In many cases the persons referred
to, had come to the home seeking,
shelter and advice. They received
both and jobs were - obtained for
them. \
I Contrary to a belief held by some,
the Home deals with a great many
more young women who have never
before been exposed to great hard
ip than in women Of the street The
few of the latter who apply, are
helped in the same manner as the
others, except that constructive work
is done with them, in order that they
might be led away from the customs
that debase them. rs
A great burden is being placed on
the home now because of the in
crease in population here. The beds,
of which there are 10, are all used
nearly every night, by women or girls
who are not able to obtain lodgings
elsewhere. The hotels are crowded
and lodgings, at moderate rates, are
hard to find. The overflow is cared
for by the Protective Home, the main
purpose of which is to care for the
girls and women who are without
home through no fault of their own.
