FORTY YEARS sUCCEs.

For business to be successful fol forty years means great deal Among other things, it means re. markable excellence in the products it sells. No inferior article can be sold on a large scale for SO many years and it must not only be good at thu outset, but so good that the progress of forty years shall not develop any better article to supercede it. t.
 So women can, with confidence de- pend upon that old, tried and tested remedy for woman's ailments, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, still as popular as ever, though it was placed on the market before the cen tennial year, 1876.-Adv.

Local Man Invents Leading and Firing
 Torpedo Apparatus

Edward G. Gallagher of Bridge port, connected with the Lake Tor pedo Boat Co.,, through a patent granted this week in the United States patent office has completed the method begun by Simon Lake of per fecely controlling the loading and fir ing of torpedoes from a submarine while completely submerged.
 Following the patent of Lake, which was granted some weeks ago, for a method of connecting super- structure torpedo tubes with the main body of a submarine, MT. Gallagher's patent now provides means for me- chemically closing the outer end or tubes during the intrduction of tor pedoes, the compressing of air for the discharge and the releasing of the torpedo electrically with such other safeguards as are needed.
 Because of military regulations the method disclosed by this patent is not published III The Farmer It may, however, be said to be one of the most radical improvements of under sea torpedo control yet intented in this country. e
 Other Bridgeporters whose genius has procured them patents, .his week, as disclosed by the list of A. w. Wooster, patent attorney of this city, are James c. Pall and George $. Thomas.

 The streets and sidewalks commit tee will report favorably on the pro- posed extension of John street from Main street to Water street and from West avenue to Park avenue also the widening of the street. The commit tee will also report favorably on the widening of Water street from South avenue to State street.

Roganovosky Held
 By Judge Bartlett

At the request of the federal auth critics who are Investigating his case Mike Roganovsky, roomer at 419 Kossuth street, who came to this city week ago from East Wa1pole, Mass, carrying false passports, was held in bonds of $1,000 by Judge Frederic Bartlett in the city court this morning until next Saturday.
 Roganovosky was arrested by Capt. George B. Coley, when he applied at the Remington Arms Co. for a posi- ton and is suspected of being Mi hilist by the police. He came to this country eight months ago, he now tells the police and managed to leave Russia without a passport.
 He claims the passport found in his possession, which is an authentic document issued by the Russian gov ernment, but made out for person other than the defendant was given him in bar room by a man. The po- lice do not believe him and are of the opinion the federal authorities will find he has an interesting history, if they can unearth enough informa- ton concerning him.

Merritt left here with the Thifd division last Mon day but did not remain with it. He has gone into the regular naval ser vice and it is the belief of his friends that he intends to remain there Dur ing his service with the Naval volun- teers he ranked with the highest and passed all his examinations with fiy- ing colors. Until 8 few days ago he was staying at the Hotel Essex, Bos- ton.
 According to letters received by friends here, he is now divisional officer on the battleship Georgia lying in Boston harbor He has charge of a battery of six guns and is also trial officer of the ship.

 be utilized first in the early morning and at early nightfall, attending to harness and driving cows to pasture, feeding pigs and what is generally termed chores" on the farm. During the early potato planting season their services would be in great demand in quartering the "spuds,'' in drilling fertilizer in the trenches plued by the farmers and their trained assist ants and in the dropping of potatoes. From that occupation the planting of corn, both by the hoe and the auto matic hand planter would come under their attention after the ground had been marked out by the owners of the fields. Following this planting would come the hand cultivation of the gar- dens, the back breaking process of wedding, and the upkeep of the fences all of which would relieve the real agriculturists of the country from much time taking but worthless labor in the time of national emergency. Those now in the Home Guard, whose early training upon farms gave them the knowledge of driving horses, milking cows and other semi-expert farm occupations could also greatly relieve the daily pressure upon the farmer of marketing his products
 During the having season, when many hands make light labor, Home Guard services would be in great de-

mand and brawn would be at prem. ium. As the potato and corn crop is being harvested the services could again be, utilized in the hand digging picking and bagging of potatoes and ir the cutting and husking operation that attaches to the "cribbing'' of corn.
 1t has been shown to commanding officers that with force of 5000 men which it Is planned shall be enlisted in the Home Guard, the food supplies of this state may be materially in- creased and the shortage of farm labor be 'proportionately overcome.
 Bridgeport with approximately 1,- 900 men or a regiment, used for this purpose, would be greatly aided and would have an opportunity of show ing well against more fertile coun- ties already under larger cultivation. The needs of Bridgeport in it's table necessities today, if cut off from out side supplies would almost demand such procedure, an able authority as- serted here today.
 Among prominent members of the Home Guard, who, if called for such service, might be seen in the fields. are Ex-President William Howard Taft, Isaac Ullman of New Haven and in this city, Mayor Wilson. City Clerk J. A. H. Robinson and a host of persons prominent in the social, civic and political circles.

Gasoline Shortage
 Causes Crippling
 of Cars in Suburbs

Failure of the supply ships bringing gasoline from the big refineries of the various oil companies to reach Bridge port on schedule this week caused shortage of gasoline in this county which seriously affected travel.
 In Fairfield and Southport as well as further west of Bridgeport hun dreds of automobiles were reported stalled in the roadways.
 Appeals to outlying distributing sta tions in Bridgeport caused the tanks to be rapidly drained and towards nightfall automobilists had to travel as far as Norwalk and to New Haven in borrowed conveyances to get their supplies, which were then limited to minimum to each customer.
 Though confirmation cannot be ob- tained in this city from the offices of the Standard and other oil companies whose tanks are located in this city it is unof1icially understood that the failure to deliver in bulk here Is due to government acquisition of the tankerS.
