MORE THAN 10 THOUSAND DOLLARS
 RAISED IN "SAvE-THE:- BABIES"
 CAMPAIGN, REPORTS MRS. WARNER

At meeting of the executive com mittee of the Associated Charities and Visiting Nurses campaign this morn ing, Mrs. De Yer H. Warner. the chairman of the general committee, reported that the enterprise had $403.17 to share.
 Mrs. Warmers report shows that the total contri buttons were $1O,4O3.17. The report expressed her thanks to the committee and all who participat- ed in the "Save-the-Babi bies'' cam paign.
 Mrs Warmers report follows:
 Bridgeport, Conn.,,
 Nov. 9, 1916. To the Executive Committee of the
 Associated Charities and Visiting
 Nurse Campaign:
 I beg to submit to our committee, as general chairman of the campaign, a preliminary report showing; the amount of money raised, together with list of the contributions.
 I think you will agree with me at the outset that 1t is matter of con- graduation to know that the Ten Thousand Dollar mark, which was set as our goal in the ''Save-the-Babies" campaign, has not only been reached but that sum far exceeded. The total amount subscribed at this time is SIC, O,403.17, and each day sees addi- tional subscriptions from unexpected sources showing that the intereSt created in ouf institutions was so great that the desire to contribute has extended beyond those covered by the workers in the campaign.
 I want first to extend through you, to those who gave their time, thought and energy to the campaign, my per- sonal thanks for their efforts and sec- ond. to acknowledge with a grateful appreciation, the very generous re- sponse which came tcS our appeal. The success of the campaign establishes clearly our belief that there were many people in this community who would be glad when properly ap- preached to lend their aid and their mite to the support of the projects in charge of these institutions Our belief has been fully justified and the Dollar Campaign will become an es- tablished institution. It has done even more than this, in that it has spread broadcast our activities in be- half of unfortunate babies and chill dren and hard working mothers and through the Visiting Nurses relief to the sick and suffering and it may be expected that our appeal to the public next year will be promptly recognized and a canvass made by an organization composed of women from every walk in life.

DORSEN co. TO MAKE INCREASE
 IN THEIR STORE
New Departments and Issue of Stock Planned By
 Bridgeport Firm.

Announcement has been made by the Dorsen Dry Goods Co: that the firm will greatly increase the size and scope of it's department store in Bridgeport. The enlargement will in- clude big furniture and carpet depart ments, with increase in the capital stock by the issuance of cumulative preferred seven per cent. shares at a par of $z5.
 AS a result of the filing of certified statements of the company with New York bankers, who will handle the new issue of stock an index to the enormous mercantile prosperity of the community is given.
 With nominal sales in 1914 and 1915 amounting to the hundreds of thou sands of dollars, the report as of Oct. 1 discloses $50 per cent. increase dur ing 1916.
 Such an increase in one depart melt store means increase in dry goods sales in this city of more than 5000, 900, according to we'll inform ed dry goods authorities who have viewed the figures submitted to Kop- penhagen & Co.,, Ltd., of New York who will handle the financial end of the big department store's enlarge ment here.
 The Dorsein Dry Goods Co. were established here about two years ago, having succeeded the Laborde-Gelman Co. A large addition to the store was erected in Middle street and the in- terior thoroughly modernized. The addition of a furniture and carpet de- partment with the enlargement of mil nor departments will greatly increase the volume of business done by the store, which was first established by Kleban & Gelman a number of years a00

at It's disposal, made a hard drive and aided by a well thought-out program of publicity, results were obtained which were far beyond expectations. l want to acknowledge through you, our indebtedness to the managers of the various factories who permitted the distribution of envelopes among the employees and by which we were able to add very largely to our fund
 The many envelopes returned bore silent testimony of the deep interest of the workingmen. Although many culd not afford to give a dollar, they were not ashamed to put their names on the envelope because they knew that their interest would not be meas ured by the amount contributed The merchants of the city co-op- erated very generously through their advertising space and window decora- toops and helped to stimulate interest among their employees. The clerks in nearly all the large stores were or ganized and a friendly rivalry was created with the result that large amounts were raised through this channel.
 To the school children we are es- pecially indebted for the hearty and active support given to the campaign. The children in the Sunday schools, as well as the Boys Department of the Y M. c. A.. also aided in the work.
 AS the campaign progressed, inter
 est was spread in other directions. The big theatres introduced '"The Baby" at every performance on the screen and permitted the nurses to take up collections for the fund. Even in the freight houses and on the wharves, stevedores, freight handlers and oth- CTS stopped long enough in their work to make a contribution to the cause. The activity in the campaign was divided among the Manufacturers di- vision, the Mercantile division, the Juvenile division and the Church di- vision These were headed respect ively by Mrs. Elmer H. Havens, Mrs. H. w. Fleck, Mrs. Alfred c. Zones and Mrs. F. A. Strong, all of whom worked effectively and untiringly to bring about the success achieved. I want to publicly acknowledge to them and to those associated in each di- vision my earnest appreciation of their work.
 wish I could give my thanks per- sonally to all who aided in any way in the success of the campaign. As this is, of course, impossible, I hope that all persons who contributed, or aided in securing a contribution, will accept this public acknowledgment of their work and contribution in the spirit in which it is written.

A mistake in calling the figures for William Chew, successful Republican candidate for representative shows that he received 1O,O67 votes instead of 9,967 as was credited to him. The mistake was made on the result in the Ninth district. The paper from the adding machine by which the to- tals were made up shows 1117 votes for Mr. Chew in the Ninth district. He received 1217 votes in that dis trict. The mistake was made in call- ing off the figures for the totals.
