MANY COMP PAN|ES l. ASKING FACTORY LOCATIONS HERE
Bridgeport May Get Indus tries That Are Hamper
 ed in West.

Bridgeport's boom and widespread advertising has caused a flow of in- quiries for factories and factory sites through the Chamber of Commerce.
 Concerns, both large and small, have sought information regarding the pos- abilities of locating in thss city, and one large concern, the name of which is not disclosed. is said to be negoti- ating for site here. It employs as many as 1,500 hands in the work it is doing in another city.
 While only one factory building in this vicinity located in Fairfield, Is said to be available for manufactur- ing purposes, several sites may be of fered the various factories, but it is tion of any lands in Bridgeport will have tendency to keep prospective industries away.
 Officials of the Chamber of Com merce are enthusiastic over the possi- bilities offered for Bridgeport's future and indicate that it's proximity to the labor market of New York, makes it's location ideal for the ultimate absorp- tion of much of the Western industry that is now greatly handicapped for lack of labor.
 They assert that proximity to pre- beds and raw material supplies in the West is greatly overcome by the hatndicap of the labor market which cehters near New York and that Bridgeport offers better facilities daily, especially as the housing situation is being taken care of rapidly and with systematic regularity.

 Fines For Failure
 To Return Emptles

Washington, Feb. 19-The inter- state commerce commission postpon- ed today from Feb. 21 to March 15 the operation of it's recent order re- uuiring railroads to return, under $5,000 penalty, empty coal cars to connecting lines.
 The order, adopted as measure to relieve congestion after the railroads had unsuccessfully sought to do so by their own rules, was regarded as the forerunner of other similar or ders to be applied to all classes Of freight cars. The roads, however, having agreed to restore as speedily as possible all empty freight cars on their lines. impelled the commission to postpone the effective date in or der that the roads might have a further opportunity to relieve con- gestion by their own methods

Roasted Litter of
 Kittens to Death

{-
 Bridgeport is cat-ridden city, ac- cording to officials of the Animal Res cue league, who recently received many requests to capture and dispose of cats that are infesting the West End of the city.
 One particular case of extreme cru city is being investigated by the off, cers with the possibility that arrests will result. It is reported that a resi- dent of the West End, whose name is refused for publication, in an effort to rid her household of a cat who lit- tered kittens in the oven of a disused stove, closed the door today and kindling a. fire, roasted the animals to death.
 So extensively has the unregulated breeding of cats in this city been conducted that thousands are said to be rowing the streets without homes and crying pitifully for food at the kitchen doorways of homes through out the city, besides ravaging the garbage receptacles left standing out of-doors.
 When asked to contribute to the rescue leagues cause. persons calling for the disposal of cats almost uni formly deny ownership in the anil malls, which may result in a request by the league that all cats be licensed.

Dr. Edward Ryan of the American Red Cross has returned to America,
 after spending more than two years aiding the medical relief work in the war zone in Servia, to report at the American Red Cross headquarters. The doctor, a clean cut American. bears more the appearance of youth full traveller than one who has been presiding over one of the largest hos pitals in the seat of war.
 Dr. Ryan, who is a native of Scran- ton, Pa., has been supervising the work of the base hospital between Austria and Servia, which has twice been occupied by the Austrians. One of the most successful accomplish ments in the medical line, he said, has ! been the effacement of the typhus germ.
 l During the first occupation of the l city of Belgrade by the Austrians Dr. 1 Ryan declared himself "czar" of the city and held that position for three days, during which time he success fully organized a police system. l Dr. Ryan has also spent much time
 in Mexico and was sentenced to death as 8 spy at the time United States troops seized Vera Cruz.

TODAY'S POEM
THE CARRIER BOY.

It takes lots of men in 8 newspaper
 shop, And all must keep busy or presses
 will stop; The Editors certain that he's the big
 noise; He looks more important than car
 rier boys. He sits at his desk and he bosses the
 works, And keeps the gang jumpin' like so
 many Turks, But what it the use of his work in
 good shape, If the Carrier fails to deliver the
 pape? The Reporters are pretty important
 young chaps; They write about weddings, 'hoss
 races and scraps; Of course they are needed to hunt \ up the news, But if you should ask me for my own
 honest views, I'd say the Reporter needs less more
 than brains, For he spends his time running from
 hotels to trains. But what good is all the Reporters
 can do If the Carrier don't bring the paper
 to you? The Printers and Pressmen are all
 worth their pay; They do their work we'll with little
 to say, They are needed at times and SD is
 the Clerk, Who takes in the money, though that
 is not work. But the guy that's the real thing. the
 one that The fellow whose value can't be
 fixed at price, Is the one who begins when the
 others are through And hurries to bring the paper to
 you. Exchange
