SWEEPING MOVIE
men in DESERT
Camels Crossing Fayer-
weather !" Sahara" Steam .
Like locomotives.

Scenes which will be shown Ito
movie fans as vistas Of the burning
desert, were enacted today on the
frost bitten shores OF Fayerweather's
Island. The island, a bar Of sand with
sparse growths of rank grass and
beach pulm bushes, with wide ex-
panses Of white sand forms an ideal
setting for desert scenes. But it res
auired a wide stretch Of imagination
today for the actors to stand with
barred heads and arms, and thinly clad,
and to behave as if the cold north
wind that swept over the island WAS a
Sahara zephyr.
H B. Warner, who will be remem-
bered for his work ash the creator Of
the leading role in ATLAS Jimmy
Valentine and George LeGuere, we'll
known delineator Of Juvenile parts In
both the movies and the Legitimate
drama, are taking part in the produc-
ton. Other interesting participants
in the hot desert scenes made on the
cold beach, are a herd of camels,
goats and sheep, and an elephant and
a number of horses from the Barnum
& Bailey circus winter quarters. The
frosty air caused clouds of steam to
ascend from the animals but the CAIN
era men ground away.
The actors did not finish their
work today but will continue on the
beach next week.

ATTEMP TING TO
BETTER SERVICE
Gives Each Operator Less to
Do in the Hope Of Inn
proving Speed.

The Southern New England Tele-
phone company is making an effort to
improve service in this city. With the
partial completion Of It's new building
improvements are being made in the
operating room Of the exchange.
Today about 40 wiremen OF the
Western Electric Co. are engaged in
installing new units to the multiple
boards Forty-five positions have al
ready been placed in partial operation
with $4,000 wires running into the
homes. It is expected that when COM
pleted there will be about IS positions.
each requiring girl to operate dur
ing the rush hours.
while these figures may not give
the public a clear view Of what will
be done for Bridgeport under the
change, it may be asserted that each
girl now employed is required to care
for approximately 100 subscribers.
Under the new system the number of
subscribers attended to will be mater
tally decreased and the service pro-
portionately increased in speed and at
tention to details of calls.
Company officials express the belief
that by February of next year the
present work will be completed and
during the interim ask the indulgence
of the public in the deficiencies which
have recently been noted.

SWAMI LAND AWAITING
RECLAMATION

It is Of course dealing with large
figures when it is reported by the
statistics committee Of the Chamber
of Commerce Of the United States that
there are today Approximately 100,-
600, 900 acres of swamp lands in this
country, of which 75,0O0,0O0 can be
reclaimed for agriculture, but the
large figures only emphasize the OPP
portunity for making use, Of what is
now waste land. This can be realized
when it is understood that the gross
area of the state of Connecticut is
only trif1e over 100000 acres which
would mean that territory in this
country Is times as large as this state
is now useless but can be made fit for
agricultural operations by the expen-
diture Of the proper amount Of time
and effort in draining it.
The terrors of swamp land which
existed when the mosquitoes were
such a peril have been greatly reduced
and with the employment Of sanitary
measures, such as were adopted in the
construction of the Panama canal and
in other sections where the danger
from this pest has been nullified, it
can be appreciated that big oppor-
tunity exists for not only overcoming
waste but of deriving a profit from
what is now entirely useless. Much
has been done along such lines in the
past but there is still plenty Of chance
for it to be continued with excellent
results.
What : the reclamation Of this
swamp land would mean is indicated
by the fact that this area which could
be made available is about ~ per
cent. of the entire acreage of our pres
ent corn crop and twice the average
acreage planted to cotton.

Sir Hiram Maxim, inventor, who
died at his home in London. was an
American by birth and English by
adoption. He was born at Sanger
Vile, Me-, Feb. 5, 1910, educated in
the common schools and apprenticed
to coach builder. Later he became
a mechanical craftsman and first
showed his inventive faculties by the
development Of improvements in sys-
TENS Of gas illumination.
In 1880 he went to Europe and took
up the problem of the automatic gun.
All modern machine guns are con-
structed on the automatic principle
that Maxim invented.
The first Maxim gun was success
fully tried out at Hatton Garden, Lon
don, in 1884. In order to realize its
full value Maxim then invented a
smokeless powder.
Maxim in 1894 made unsuccessful
attempts to construct flying machine.
He was knighted in 1901.
Maxim was well known in Bridge
port where he made many expert
ments with inventions during which
he was associated with some Of this
city's most famous men.

Representative elect o. D. B1eakley
of Franklin, Pa, made a spectacular
entry into the national capital, lying
from Philadelphia in his new ninety
horsepower aeroplane. He was. in
the air three hours and landed in the
shadow Of the Washington nlonu-
ment.
Mr.. Bleakley ! was driven by his
chauffeur he calls hinl---Ser-
geant William &C. Ocker of the United
States aviation corps.
Mr.. B1eak1ey said he was convinced
that flying is a safer means OF travel
than autoing and that this would be
conclusively proved within decade,
On the side he wanted to try out an
aeroplane stabilizer which a friend
had recommended to him.
II never rode in an aeroplane be-
fore,'' said he, save for d short trial
flight several weeks ago. I am
henceforth for flying. believe aerial
navigation is to be the coming thing.
The stabilizer worked immense
ly and kept us on an even keel all the
way. We made the Washington
Baltimore run In about twenty-five
minutes. Our maximum height, our
aerostat told us, was about 5000 feet.

Farmers Urged to Rid
Orchards Of Insects
Much Clam Be Gained by Attacking
Pests in Their Winter Quarters.

zEtN . z r r.. b
Take advantage of the bugs in their
winter quarters, the remnants Of old
plants, the trash and litter about the
garden and orchard Burn out the
fence rows destroy the trash and lit
ter wherever it has accumulated by
burning it or plcwing 1t under Cut
out the dead trees and limbs in the
orchard and make them into firewood
Is the advice given by r. r.. Talbert
Of the Missouri School Of Agriculture.
This cleaning up about the orchard
and garden will destroy dozen or
more OF our most destructive pests.
For example, the plum curculio :, is
now wintering as a full-grown BEETLE
in the trash and litter along the fence
rows or about the trees; the cooling
moth will be found in the worm stage
within a Silken cocoon tucked away
under the shelly bark OF dead trees
and dead limbs and the fruit tree
bark BEETLES or shot-hole borers will
also be found wintering mostly ais
adult BEETLES in dead or dying trees.
Under the old stalks and rubbish
in tn garden and about the porcers
will be found the adult asparagus
beetle, bean leaf beetle, harlequin
cabbage, bug, flea beetles, the striped
cucumber beetle and the chrysalis Of
the cabbage worm. If you want to
kill these pests, pile and burn dead
tomato and pea vines and other re-
mains OF vegetation in the garden and
along the border
Fall blowing and cultivation will
also enable you to have vegetables a
week or ten days earlier next spring,
because you will be able top liant
earlier on fa1l-plowed ground.
Early, thrifty, healthy plants are also
less liable to injury from insects.
