BABY IN
 BRIDGEPORT BORN IN THE WEST END
Long Legged Lad With Peculiar Distinction Ar
 rives in This City.

The storks-51ot one, but a whole flock of them-visited Bridgeport to- day. bringing with them a baby to gladden. two hearts in the West End. \ They had a hard time keeping the new arrival from banging it's shins against the chimney tops. It had awfulIy long snins.> Most mothers and fathers would have been ashamed of such shins in an offspring but not the West End couple. For, you see, their own shins are longer than their chi1dss and they don't mind showing them either.
 The struggling storks skinned the house tops of the city, or bumped into them as the case may be, until they arrived at the Barnum & Bailey win ter quarters with Phfneas IT., who Is a speckled beauty. Not a trout by any at the winter quarters, but one of the handsomest looking giraffe babies ever seen.
 Phineas T.. the soh of Mafy. is the biggest baby in Bridgeport Besides this it has the distinction of being the only offspring ever known, born of a giraffe that was also born in cap- tivity.
 It may be needless to say that the youngster was named after the Nlate P. T. Barnum. Two years ago Anna Louise was born at the winter quar- Hutchinson's daughter. Harry was borh four years ago and his arrival credited a sensation, He was named for fHdrs. Hutchinsonss son..
 The arrival occurred at 1o:sO o'clock. pr. w. J. Southey assisted the storks. Andy who knows more arnodt giraffes than any living man, was nurse.
 Phineas T. will be a. big help to his family. Hs's pretty big new-hve feet tall.

HOURS OF STUDY
 AT HIGH SCHOOL
 8:45 UNTIL 2H45.
Students In New Building to Have Long Sessions With 2
 Luncheon Period.

Announcement was made today by High school authorities that beginning Feb. 2, when the new High school will be opened, a new system of hoursf will be in force. The morning ses-i sion wilt be from S:45 a. m. until 2:45 p. m., instead of s:S0 a. m.s until 12:45 p. m.
 Preliminary discussion of this mat ter by High school students had thrown the ranks into perturbation. for it was feared that such hours would prevent many of the students from earning their livelihood while improving their school education. Meetings of students have been held and informal protest was made.
 As explained by Principal Henry D. Simonds this morning during the temporary absence of Superintendent Samuel Slawson from the offices of the board of education, these hours have been thought to be more conn preherisive than the old schedule but that people who actually earn their living by work in this city need have nothing to fear as provision has been made to excuse them from classes where actual certificates of work are produced. The new schedule of hours. includes a 45-perfod for eating luncheon, which is considere desirable.
