GREATER USE OF FLAGS URGED BY
 PATRIOTIC CLUB
Miss Sarah Boudren, Chair man, Observes Scarcity in
 City Today.

Comment was made yesterday at the meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution, where Mrs. Or vile Rector eulogized the Great Emancipator, upon the small number of flags flown in Lincoln's honor to- day in Bridgeport.
 Commenting upon the use of the American flag, Miss Sarah Boudren, chairman of the Municipal Patriotic society declared that the star spang- led banner is too often used for com mercial purposes when it should mark the more significant epochs in American history.
 "It should be used far more freely at this time when the country is in imminent danger of war or when wan is declared, than for the emphasis of mere conventions and fraternal meet cance," she said.
 I am surprised that the flag has not been more prominently displayed in this city today and in fact during the past week when the principles of American liberty on the seas have been promulgated by our president. This is @ time when the flag should be utilized.
 ''The custom of giving children flags to play with, to drag in the mud and often to stand upon should be de- precated, and in such place every American family should have a flag of goodly dimensions to fly in honor of their country, it's patriots and mar- tyrs, and when patriotic expressio should be given to an event of na- tional importance
 'I fear that not enough flags are to be found in the homes and that the people of Bridgeport are somewhat forgetful of the day which we are celebrating now.''
 report that one public school was. found without it's flag is being inves- tigated by Miss Boudren, the report having been transmitted to the board of education for investigation.

American Seamen Are
 Stranded in Sweden

Copenhagen, Denmark, Feb 13.- American seamen when they sign for voyages to Scandinavian ports should be extremely careful to see that the contract reads for a return voyage. If Americans afe discharged in Scan dinavian harbors it is next to impos- sible for them to obtain berths and they run the great risk of becoming in desperate circumstances. Many Americans not being American sea- men by profession but having come here as seamen under foreign flags are at present stranded in Copenha- gen and Edward O. Winslow, the American consul general, is at his wits end to care for them
 1T will do my best,'' he said, "to get them home. But conditions are no longer normal in Copenhagen and work of any kind especially for for eigners is difficult to obtain

BRIDGEPORT HAS REAL
 BOHEMIAN GATHERINGS

Bohemia actually existk in Bridge port. Though not often associated with Bridgeport the meeting places for the expression of musical and lit erary talent have grown apace durins the past year until the foreign restau- rants and homes boast of nightly meetings.
 An example of the dignity, talent and accomplishments of the Italian people might have been witnessed by any who favored the home of Henry Paoletti, TAI Water street with a visit Saturday night.
 Those of his English speaking friends who were invited to dine with him on the occasion would have been greatly impressed not alone with the quality of the food prepared for the occasion but with the quality of the music offered in an impromptu man. ner by the accomplished acquain- tances who dropped in during the early evening hours. Incidentally the difference paid by the Italian-speak- ing people to the English tongue in the presence of those speaking Eng fish only is commendable.
 MT. Paoletti, the graduate of an Italian college has surrounded him. self with a coterie of highly-br d Italians. On nearly every night it is said that the Bohemian atmosphere prevails.
 Among his guests Saturday night were s. Russo, an impressario of New York city, whose voice possessed mar ve1ous qualities and who sang diff cult operatic airs with easy grace, John Giampaola of Bridgeport who gave cornet, piano and vocal offer ings with equal ease and versatility, and several musicians of Turin and Abruzio, temporarily resident in Bridgeport.
 The supper served by MT. Paoletti consisted of many Italian dainties. for which, as a restaurant keeper of some celebrity, he is justly noted.

cooks are wanted for the United States

bakers and 500 cooks the adjutant gen
eral of the army has ordered that as
many privates as possible, who want
such occupations in the army be

tions have been authorized to enlist
men for bakers and cooks.
Men for such places are not required
TO be as nearly physically perfect as
for other arms of the service. 1t is
pointed out that minor physical de->
fects will be waived in accepting such
