ever they could find that would keep
them cool and give them the appear
ance of cleanliness.
This season, the pressure of activi-
ties in. town, the various kinds of war
relief work to which women are
pledged the situation of the camps
and the incoming and outgoing Of
transports have all turned the conven-
tional scale of dressing topsy-turvy.
Probably no woman will go SO far
away from town this season as to re-
quire nothing but sport costumes. And
she will not dress entirely for pleas
ure: she is compelled to dress for
comfort. All the centers that have
heretofore been deserted in summer
will be filled this season and enough
people will be passing thru or re-
naming in town for few weeks to
keep the streets filed and the places
of entertainment overlooking.
Therefore, organdy, Bingham, China
silk and chiffon must accept foulard,
wolfe. satin and taffeta as summer
rivals.
Silk Wolfe Serves Summer Well.
Turnout the decades, there has been
a kind of fabric which went by differ
ent names such as grenadine, wolfe
and de laine. Today, we simply call
it silk wolfe and let it go at that It
has all the qualities of chiffon cloth
and foulard. and there is no other IA
brio that serves as well for hot sum-
mer days in town.
True, it must be lined, which is the
first objection a woman makes to any
kind of transparent fabric in summer,
but the lining may be of China silk,
exceedingly thin and not expensive.
We have somewhat learned the
French fashion of attaching a frock
to thin lining thru the belief that it

DRASTIC ACTION THREATENED BY
 UNION LEADERS
Protest American & British Company's Action in Tele-
 gram to President.

According to Samuel J. Lavit, bus mess agent of the local branch of the ,Machinists' Union, a telegram has been. sent to President Wilson pro testing against the action of the American and British Manufacturing company in posting a notice in their plant that payments under the Bridgeport award of the National War Labor Board would be retroactive from June 26. The workers claim that payments should be retroactive from May 1, and threaten drastic action by Monday or Tuesday of next week un- less the matter is definitely settled.
 Alpheus Winter, examiner of the War Labor Board for the Bridgeport award, when questioned on the sub ject today said that no decision has as yet been reached as to what the exact date for retroactive payments is The matter, according to MT Winter, is at the present time in the hands of the War Labor Board.
 The bone of contention between the American and British Manufacturing company and their employees is over the exact date of the retroactive pay ments The men claim May 1 is the day while the company insists that June 26 is the proper date They have posted a notice to this effect and as a result a walkout Is threatened

FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

The President of the United States has set apart the week of November to 9 to be observed as Fire Prevention Week throughout the United States. This action is taken to lessen the number of fires and to decrease loss of life and property.
 Daniel E. Johnson, Chief of the Fire Department, requests and urges merchants, property holders, agents and tenants to cooperate with the Fire Prevention Bureau to cut down fire risk.
 It is desired that all f1ues, chim- .neys, cellars, garages and alley ways be cleared of combustihe material. Thousands of dollars may be saved in fire damages by removing inf1amnlabIe material, such as papers, clothing and other articles which have accumulated. Fires which have caused serious damage have been due to piles of rubbish, into which lighted cigar or cigarette ends have been thrown.
 Spontaneous combustion often
 results from such collections of all be diligent in this work, so that rubbish. The fire chief urges that Bridgeport's record may improve from year to year.

FLUENzA DOWN.; DEATH RATE NOW AT 1-5 PER CENT, 106 New Gases in Past 24
 Hours With 24
 Deaths.
 HEALTH OFFICER IS PLEASED BY REPORT Nursing Situation is I'm proved With New System
 More Still Needed.

New influenza cases in Bridgeport for the 24 hours ending at nine o'clock this morning totalled 1O6, a decrease of 96 cases over the previous days re- port. It is the most favorable week day record since October g. Deaths, however, again increased in the past A hours, 24 additional ones being re- ported in that period from pneumonia and influenza. Bridgeport has TOW had 5,481 cases of influenza. with 31G resulting deaths. Thus far in the ep- idemic the death rate in accordance with the number of cases actually re- ported is five and one-fifth per cent. While this is slightly a.gher than the death rate at army camps, which are the best available figures, it is lower than the rate in most cities of this size. Although the number of cases per day are expected to decrease steadily it will be some time before the deaths go down in proportion and therefor the authorities look for an even higher death rate than the pres ent one
 Health Officer Dr. Walter H. Brown, occupying his quarters in the new Health and Charities building on Washington avenue at the intersec- ton of Main street and Midison ave- nue, said today that he was highly pleased with the epidemic reports for the past three days. They show to- tai of 507 cases as compared to 617 cases for the three days previous.
 Dr. Brown again asked that the people of the city continue to exercise all possible care and precaution. Tt is at this period of an epidemic that we have to fear carelessness,' said the health officer. People must not throw all caution to the winds and think that the epidemic is entirely over This is not the case and will not be the case for many days. Therefore 1t behooves everyone to go about their business in the same way and be just as careful as they were at the height of the epidemic. The weather we are having today is such a vast l improvement over the unseasnable weather of earlier in the week, that it is bound to aid us in our fight"
 The nursing situation is today greatly improved, but not yet entirely satisfactory. There has been a re- sponse to the appeals for nurses but
 more are stlI needed. The one side
 of the situation that has cleared up materially is the coordination of the
 nurses and aides, by Miss Margaret | Stack of the State Council of Defense | A system has been arranged whereby nurses are being distributed more
 evenly and better results are being
 obtained than at any time since the
 shortage occurred.

HUGHES GIVES AT LENGTH MISTAKES
 AND FAILURES IN AIRCRAFT WORK

lays in getting airplane models from the Allies and preparing specified tions for their production; that plans frequently were changed to the em- barrassment of contractors; that some manufacturers well qualified by or ganizatton and experience could nrI4 get orders while others apparently with few qualifications, if any, did succeed in getting them, and that there was confusion and waste in the plants.
 Profits in sone instances, MT. Hughes reports, were enormous, aI- thoAgh Attorney General Gregory points out that sixty per cent. Of these profits revert to the government in the form of war taxes and ex- presses the belief that no such prof It's were allowed as to justify charge of bad faith

Washington, Nov. 1.-The mistakes. failures, delays and wastages of tho airplane production program under the administration of the old aircraft board, before the reorganization ot last May, are detailed at lenTth in the report of the investigation conducted by Charles E. Hughes and Attorney General Gregofy, which was before the country today after having been made public at the White House.
 While the report acknowledges the successes and achievements of the new administration in aircraft, head ed by John D. Ryan, 1t deals unspar- ingly with the sEoT tcomings of the old organization and recommends court martial proceedings for one army off, cer concerned and criminal prosecu- tions for three others.
 The chief blame for the failures is charged by the Hughes report to de- fective organization in the army sig nal corps and the lack of competent direction of the work by the respon- sible officers of the corps.
 The report finds that there were de-
