WOMEN TO TAKE PLACES OF MEN
 WHO GO TO WAR
East Village and Stevenson
 .Patriotic-Even Minis ter Enlists.
Especial to Farmer.)

East Village, April 13-Patriotism Is rampant in East Village and Stew enson. So keen for enlist in the United States forces is this village that it is likely with the reported ac- |ceptance of Rev. Leonard Fuller, pas tor of the Esst Village M. F. church, In the petienal guards9 Chs church will 6e closed Sun4ay. sss.ssk
 Even the women are organizing for duty in the fields during the summer time. Under the leadership of Mrs. A w. Smith who has openly volun- teered to hoe potatoes and onions in the field the women of the community are rallying and a corps for the re- lief of the farmers during the culti- vation and harvest time will be form ed.
 Rev. Leonard Fuller, son of Asa c. Fuller of this village, has been attach ed as 1astor of the East Village M. B. church for the Hast year and also breaches at the Stevenson M. B. church. At last Sundays session he announced that if the United States would accept his services he would join the colOrs.
 Word has been received from Mid- dletown, Conn. where he was enrolled at the Wesleyan university, that he had stood examinations for a commis- sion in the National Guard forces. It is believed that he has been accepted.
 A request has been formulated and transmitted to the Methodist Confer ence now in session at New York re- quested that duling the absence of Rev. MT. Fuller his father, Asa Full Ter, may be permitted to preach in a lay capacity at East Village.
 In both East Village and Stevenson and throughout the countryside the most patriotic spirit prevails. A large portion of the agricultural population of military age have announced in- tention of joining the fighting forces.
 To offset the possible depopulation of the district, special means have been taken by the families of farm CTS to conserve the potato, onion and bean seeds. These crops will be the main ones planted besides corn, a staple in this community. The minor vegetable and grain crops will be abandoned in favor of larger cultiva- tion in the West by mechanical means. Under women commanders the fem mine residents of this community are organizing to take the place of men as far as possible in the fields. Many women plan gardens of potatoes beans and onions, to be planted, grown and harvested by themselves. A large part of the ordinary home garden will this year be devoted to these staples while the melon, the berry and other -succulent table ad- juncts will be ignored.

Hartford. April 13-In a general revision of the present motor vehicle law. reported by the committee on roads, rivers and bridges and tabled for, the calendar in the House today the jitney is recognized as a public service conveyance, far-reaching laws upon the use and restriction of heavi- ly loaded trucks are considered and the speed limit in Connecticut is raised.
 Many other features being fully covered in the wide range of the pro- posed bill. ItNwill undoubtedly pass the house next week.
 Generally the bill contemplates the regulation of jitney licenses and driv- CTS under an especially designated de- partment, regulation of the increasing heavy traffic on state highways with due charges for < the proportionate damage done by heavy loads and dras- tic penalties ! for fragrant violators, while those who unintentionally yio- late the laws will applaud the flexi- bii1ty of the "Rule of Reason" pro- visions contemplated.
 J1tneys are placed under a. special class to be known as public service motor vehicles. The state leaves to the town the enforcement of certain sanitary regulations but requires that the operator must have a special li- cense from the state for which he shall pay g. To get this license the operator of a jitney must prove his good character through the authori- Fties of the town in which he app1ies for license
 Patrons in motor vehicles of the public service type must be fully pro- tected iby interior lights of not less than four candle power, which must remain lighted while the vehicle is under operation at night.
 Stringent regulations are provided against tn overlooking of heavy trucks and the consequent wear and tear on public highways. It has ~been found by Investigation that motor trucks seldom, carry more than seven tons to- day upon state highways but antici- pating increasing loads in the future. the lawmakers have included this reg ulation:
 The maximum load shall be 12 1-2 tons except by special permit Any vehicle carrying more than eight tons shall pay the state an increased li- cense fee at the rate of s1O0 per ton oyer the eight ton limit.
 The act also provides that all com mercial motor vehicles must be mark ed plainly upon the outside with the maximum capacity they may car ry.
 In the matter of the "speed limit the maximum rate under which mo- torists may escape without having to assume the burden of proof at law is raised from 25. miles to a possible 30 miles per hour. The same restrictions as to speed limits with relations to traffic and general conditions of travel are maintained as heretofore It has however, been considered that the in- creasing rates of travel have demand ed the additional i've miles under the

DRASTIC LAW GOVERNING AUTO TRAFFIC IN STATE WILL PASS

safety possib bility.


 Another important clause in the new bill provides for county hearings by the commissioner under compulsion or upon the complaint of a citizen. In part the act reads: "Any person who will make certificate to the commis- sioner of motor vehicles as to any al- legged viola ton of law may file such certificate with the commissioner and he shall investigate the complaint and shall act upon the evidence dis closed"
 The commissioner also shall hold hearings in automobile cases in the various counties, unless all parties are agreed upon hearings outside of the county.
 At the present time hearings are held at the capitol. For dealers, manufacturers and repairmen, the law gives greater elasticity in the use of certificates and markers providing that the purchaser may utilize them for five days during which time his application may be fled, A clause restricts their use use upon mere hiring of the vehicle however.
 The penalties for misuse of licenses are drastic including both the suspen- sion of the drivers and the car li- cense.
 The penalty for the operator of a motor vehicle driving while under the influence of liquor is greatly increased and extends suspension of operators S license from a period of one to g. max imum of five years.

The orders permit no leeway, but state distinctly that married men with dependent families must be discharged whether they desire to remain in the service or not. If .he order is car ,ried into effect it will mean that the National Guard units of Bridgeport and particularly the Second and Fourth companies, who are already in federal service, will lose nearly 20 pei cen-. of their best men.
 The orders state that all married men are to be discharged from the National Guard before the organiza- ton of which they are members is called into the federal service.
 If no mastering officer is called and the company is called into the service the men are to be discharged without waiting further~instructions
 Dependent families" as spoken of in the order, refers to wives, children and mothers, who are dependent for support upon soldiers.

FIGHTING NEWS FAMILIES HERE
 AREN'T|N WANT
Soldiers Well Supplied Too and Need Only Sewing
 Materials.

Mobilized units of the Connecticut National Guard and Naval Volunteers from Bridgeport and their families are not found to be in diatress or want, according to preliminary inves- tigaions made yesterday by co1nmit- tees on civilian and military relief of the Bridgeport Chapter. American Red Cross.
 Though appeals have been made by the mayor of New sy4natan for - contribution of clothing and ptha! necessities investigation of conditions in this, city shows that the utmost care and selection has been exercised by National Guard and federal officers in this city. ' ed by Mrs. C. N. Worthen, reports that under the Liberalization plan, the for mer practice of sending coffee and sandwiches to entrained men passing through the city is unnecessary be- cause of the adequate commissary de- partmentsb of the government which no longer permit men toi go unfed beyond the regular mess periods. The only lack of the soldiers is household kits'' containing certain sewing ma- terials which might be useful to the naval militiamen now on duty "some- where in the United States" These will soon be sent forward from this city.
 The civilian relief committee under the chairmanship of Mrs. c. B. Read, has reported the investigation of some of the families of miftiamen on duty under federal orders and finds that none is in dire need. All, however, will be carefully tended when emer- gency arises, a complete check of the familiesebeing made regularly.

Passes Being Made For Residents of Restricted District-Police Confis- cate Machete.

Acting under orders of Major Henry A. Beebe, soldiers of his command assisted by the police completed their search of the houses in East Bridge port, located in the restricted zone, and served notice on about 20 fami- lies that they must move out of the territory.
 Coming as they do under the alien enemy act, the majority of these families were given notice by Major Beebe to leave yesterday, but the mili- tary commander in view of the in- ability of the families to obtain homes in other parts of the city at such short notice, extended the period of time, not wishing to entail any un- necessary hardship on them.

 The charities department is mais- ing every effort to find suitable homes for the families and yesterday man aged to obtain temporary rentals in Peuuonnock street for three.
 Supt. John H. Redgate, who is giv- ing Major Beebe the closest co-opera- tion. stated today that he is having passes manufactured for the residents In the restricted zone that they may be able to pass the guards and get to tQelr homes.
 When the area of the danger zone will be extended to the half mile limit is not known definitely, but the change probably will take place before next Monday. This will practically place East Bridgeport under martial law. 1t will also mean the punishment from the section of about 50 families.

 Capt. Charles Wheeler this morn ing took charge of the inndmerable weapons recovered from houses by the soldiers.
