A Nev Thing
for a Cigarette TO Do

{ HESTERFIELDS do the one thing
you have always wished a cigarette
zOOWld do-they satisfy!
Smoke them and we believe you will
find that ordinary cigarettes seem by
comparison almost fiat.
Give Chesterfefds a trial. We
believe you will be glad to learn
what they can teach you about
cigarette enjoyment.
You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about cigarette. If Chesterfelds
were an untried cigarette - if we had
not been observing their behavior in
other cities-if we did not KNOW that
they make good with smokers, we could
not afford to make these statements to
you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing to you
until you have actually smoked your first
Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has Chesterfelds waiting for you.

BIGGEST TRAVEL
 DAY OF YEAR IS EXPERIENCE HERE
Stationmaster Reports Ire mendous Crowds Leaving
 City For Homes.

"The biggest travel day of the year." said Peter Hunt, local sta- uonmaster when inquiry was made today about the volume of passengers being carried over the New York, New Haven & Hartford lines through this city.
 With the greatest number of per- sons returning towards New York at the conclusion of their holidays, and an almost equal number going east, hundreds of additional trains in the form of added sections to the regular service trains, local despatchers and tlainmen were kept busy.
 Nearly 10000 persons, it is estimat- ed, had boarded or left trains at this city up to noontime with the station platforms still crowded in expectancy of the arrival of friends and their own contemplated trips.
 Those waiting for trains had diff culty in locating their friends as sec tion after section of the same train would arrive a few minutes apart
 Baggagemen will be busy far into Sunday delivering the quantities of matter that has been received in this city.
 The rush of traffic began about o'clock this morning and it is expect ed to be at its heaviest about o'clock tonight.

 Rosbach told Dr. Garlick that when he came home last night the two small children informed him that their mother had gone out.
 He searched the upper part of the house, fearing that she had again att tented suicide as she twice before had done in New York before they came to this city last January. Failing to find her or elicit explanations of her absence from the children he recon ciled himself to the belief that she had left the house for the night. A woman going to the cellar this morning was surprised to find the doors securely fastened. The tragedy was then discovered.
 The body has been removed to the Rourke & Boucher undertaking estab- | lishment.

With several of the leading spirits of the Commission Government league absent on vacations. and other ap- parently developing cold feet in their recently manifest enthusiasm for change in the city's charter, there IS little likelihood now of any determin- ed opposition to the administration plan to deal the proposition death blow by refusing to let the voters pass on it at the general election in No- vemiber.
 Members of the commission goV- errment league will meet, in a few days. to talk the matter over. A dis cussion of the recent turn of events with a number of the leaders, to- dav. developed the fact that the vigor with which they had been prosecut- ing the campaign for change in the city charter has waned, considera- ply.
 ITnless a complete change of heart takes place within the organization the special election, which will take nlace Nov. 25, will be a tame affair. All the machinery of the King-Wil- son machine will be at work; all the administration appointees and politi- cal workers will be on the Job to XII the charter and the administration counts on the usual indifference or many voters to make it easy for the determined and well organized oppo- sition to the commission government charter to succeed.
 The mayor has announced that snecial election would be held on November 25 and not at the general election. The mayors action confirms the story printed in The Farmer yes- terday that the charter would not go before the people on the general elec- ton day, November z.
 A meeting of the Commission Form of Government league will be called soon to consider the proposed char ter. Atty. James A. Marr. president of the league is on his vacation and will not return to Bridgeport until late this month. A number of others who were prominent in the esleague are also out of the city. Atty. John s. Pull man, chairman of the special com charter is on a vacation.
 Dwight D. Graves, secretary of the Commission Form of Government League said today: There is much hard work to be done in getting the proposed charter properly before the voters and arousing interest in it. Personally I do not think a protest

 Mayor Wilson was evidently pre- pared to fix the date for the special election yesterday for soon after he received the draft of the charter he announced the date. The mayor said he fixed the date for a Saturday be- cause most of the workers have half holiday Saturday afternoons and wou therefore have more opportunity to vote. He repeated his excuse that on the general election day when na- tional, state and other officers are to be voted for, the charter revision would not get the same consideration as at special election.
