To Hold a Special Town Meeting.

To Hold a Special Town Meeting.
 The selectmen have announced that there will be a special town meeting Thursday, August 23 at 8 o'clock in the town hall. The purpose of the meeting is to reconsider resolutions made at the last meeting in regard to the new bridge to be built over Hart's pond near the American Paper Goods company.
 The resolutions passed at the las. meeting specified that a bridge IA feet wide be built and that $8,000 be ap propriated to cover the cost of the same. These plans did not meet with the approval of the state highway commissioner who stated that the bridge would have to be 21 feet in width to comply with the law.
 It will be definitely decided Thurs day evening what will be done. In order to make the structure comply with the commands of the highway commissioner an extra large appro- priation will have to be made and a special tax laid.
 Great difficulty is being encoun- tered by the selectmen in letting a contract at a reasonable price for the building or enlarging of the old abute- ments for the new bridge. This is mostly due to the shortage of labor at l the present time.
 Also there is a divergence of opin- ion as to whether new abutments | should be built or the old ones en- 1 larged upon. A number of people are of the opinion that if the addition is placed onto the old abutment that in a few years time it will settle and the ho will draw away from each other.

bridgeport High school students
IRE performing sacrifices today to as
sist in accommodating the Red Cross
war relief fund of 100000. 900.
At noon the pupils had subscribed
more than 500, Not a cent was
asked from parents or others. and
every gift represented some sacrifice
on the part of the giver.
AT IL o'clock yesterday morning,
Prof. Henry ID. Gimonds called a mass
meeting of students and teachers and
suggested that today be Red Cross
day. The suggestion was well receiv-
ed, as was evidenced this morning
when the donations began to pour in.
Room 1875 held the record at noon,
with $z5.5o. One boy had given
$1,000.

Of riding home yesterday and saved a
nickel, This morning they walked to
school and saved another. Others
barred dainties at their lunch today,
and thus saved not negligible
amount. Chewing gum and candy
were sacrificed to aid in the war re-
lief.
When it was demonstrated to the
students that small part of the cost
of daily luxuries, which themselves
cost little, according to American
standards. will save much suffering
abroad. and help prolong. mayhap,
the life of someone for a day, the sta
dents took UP the school campaign in
earnest. with excellent results.

The Finding Of Old Glory.

When the day came that our reFolu-
tionary fathers needed to design flag
for the new nation of their heroic
founding they had but to lift their eyes
to the heavens to find the banner Of
their faith and pride.
In the glowing west, in the burning
clouds of the sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon In alternate
bands Of flame and mist-they saw the
symbol OF their owf fair dreams,
mystic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked there came sud-
den rending of the feecy mass by a
wind of liberty's own sending. and
through the monster rift thus made
they beheld patch Of azure sky set
thick with silver stars.
The stars the stripes-th; blue Old
Glory, blazoned In beauty across the
wonder Of Gods heaven. for ell the
world to see, 1t is our nag God make
us worthy Of it.-Anne Rankin In

Lenoth os Wireless Waves.

In articles on wireless teleTaphy
such expressions as 200 meter wave
lengths, 900 meter wave lengths, $4,000
meter wave lengths are constantly
used. In reply to correspondent who
asks how the length Of the waves is
measured the Scientific American gives
the following simple explanation:
1.-THE length of an electric wave is
determined by a wave meter. The nat
ural wave length of an aerial is four
times Its linear length, just as the
wave length Of note Of closed organ
pipe Is four times the length OF the
pipe, and the wave length Of the note
Of a tuning fork Is four times the
length OF the box which is resonant
with the note. However. other consid-
erations make it difficult to measure
the wave length by a rule, and the
wave meter gives a more correct result
than can be found by measuring the
length of the wire.'
