: the total subscribers to the war chest

the IOldl Substitutes 10 the Wal CHcSI
there a year ago. This is significant
of something that was made mani
fest in the drive in Springfield and
neighboring- COMMUNICATIVE the
workers in the manufacturing estab-
lishments, public service corporations,
stores and offices are backing the ma
ton in a most heartening way.
The moral gain of the Syracuse
campaign is seen to- have been great,
subscribers from the factories alone
aggregating, $4,000, or as many as
as was the case here, in demonstrate
ing the loyalty and unity of the peo-
pie. Such common effort has high
value in bringing men and women
together and binding them in new
fellowship. Any community is better
for touching elbows in this way,
fact which is realized and dwelt upon
wherever a war chest campaign has
been conducted. In this respect the
second Syracuse campaign was an i'm
provement upon the first. There, as
here, the home canvass made by
women, the most difficult end of the
undertaking, was faithfully carried
through and productive of surprising
results. All the workers ended their
labors in a glow of patriotic enthu-
siasm that is good for the soul and
full of promise for future community
work.

of steel necessary to manufacture the

be going soon to all the states. What

POTATO HILL PHILOSOPHY
Ry George Howe

The condition of the world has So
bered me, and / am not in merry
mood, but I-smile when I think that
in Russia the reformers are trying to
prostitute all women by law. And
these Russian scoundrels are appeal
ing to us for sympathy and help.
There is much truth in Arno Dosch-
Fleurot's Identification of all Socialism
with the bolshevism which has ruined
the Russian revolution and reduced
that country to welter of robbery
and murder He says: Either a So
cialist believes in class war, believes
really in bolshevism, or he is no So
cialist. Since the failure of the Rus
sian revolution no Socialist anywhere
in the world can escape the issue.
Either Socialists are ready to go on
to bolshevism or they are something
else" I have written the same thing
many times. Socialism means not the
abolition of classes; not the abolition
of privilege of class spoilation, but the
forcible transfer of privilege, spoila-
ton and property from one class to
another. 1t therefore means anarchy;
Socialism is merely a good word put
to a bad use. Seven of ten profession
al preachers of liberty want more lib
erty than they are entitled to; the in
justice they clamor for is rank in
justice to others. What they have in
Russia today is Socialism in practical
effect.

I don't know what Hearst's per-
sonal habits are, but as a public man
he is our foremost reformer. He is
the most popular of all the saloon
keepers; fools are lined up in front
of his bar seven or eight deep, and
clamoring for the privilege of buying
his firewater. Hearst acquired another
saloon the other day and received
messages of congratulation from some
of the most prominent men in the
country; several were so flattering
they were displayed on the mirror the
opening night.

LAUNCH 16 SHIPS
ON PACIFIC JULY 4

Washington, June 4.-Launchiny of
sixteen vessels on the Pacific Coast
on July 4 is planned in response to
the appeal of Chairman Hurley of the
Shipping Board to the country's ship
builders to celebrate Independence
Day with a heavy output of tonnage
with which to thwart the submar-
ine.-
This fact was disclosed last night
in correspondence made public by
Secretary Wilson which, is designed
to refute charges that shipworkers
in the West, and particularly riveters
and wooden ship caulkers, are not
putting forth their best efforts to
speed up the shipbuilding program.
1t is understood that the vessels will
include merchant craft for the Ship
ping Board and destroyers for the
navy.
James L. Hughes "a representative
of the Labor Department, telegraphe1
the Secretary that he and DR.. Henry
Suzallo, president of the University
of Washington had investigated con-
ditions on the coast and had found
that both riveters and caulkers were
cooperating to the fullest extent in
producing maximum results. Dis
trict Representative Boyce of the de-
partment, also telegraphed from San
Francisco that thorough investigation
demonstrates absurdity of any rep
1esentation regarding curtailments OF
effort on part of shipworkers. Best
proof of work being done is launching
sixteen vessels Fourth of July"

WHAT'S GOING ON In The WORLD
OF THEATRES AND AMUSEMENT
LYRIC

Intensely dramatic, full of heart
interest and with just sufficient real
comedy running through it, pal
O. Nine" presented this week at the
Lyric theatre by the Poll Players
reaches out over the footlights and
arouses the most apathetic to a point
of interest that might easily be de-
scribed as enthusiasm.
1t seems too bad that this is the
second last week of the season for
the Poll Player, as the splendid or
ganization have now got to the point
where they work together in a mar
Velously smooth manner and their
showing in pal O. Nine last night
was proof that with only one weeks
rehearsal they are capable of putting
over play with all the punch" of
Broadway production which has
had weeks and weeks of rehearsal
Never in the history of the Lyric
theatre was such a tensely dramatic
scene enacted as in the second act of
Pal O. Mine" when Dudley Ayres,
playing the part of ~. Mortimer
Hemingway makes an address
preventing run on the bank. The
audience fairly holds it's breath dur
ing the entire scene and are fain to
let him off the stage at it's conclu-
sion
Warda Howard as usual is be-
witching in new gowns, but with the
same cleverness and acting ability
which has stamped her as being the
best leading woman ever appearing
in Bridgeport in a stock company.
Warda Howard is at her very best in
dramatic situations and as "PaI O.
Mine" is fairly brimful of them, she
more than shares the honors with
Dudley Ayres.
Dan Davis is also exceedingly good
in this play and appeals to his many
Bridgeport friends more than ever
while Edith Spencer receives big ap-
plause for the clever manner in
which she plays "Genevieve Carrie
Lowe never fails to elicit applause
and deserves a lot of credit for the
able manner in which she puts over
the character of Mother Mundy."
Arthur Buchanan is also very good
and plays the part of "Wetherby''
like the veteran that he is.
AiNO5ONACt IAA0 pIOuuCIlOu IS one
| that pleases more than any other of
its kind that has been presented by
the Poll Players this season and the
packed house which greeted it's pre-
| mier performance showed it's deep
appreciation of Manager Arvine's eff
forts to give the people of Bridgeport
what they want.
Manager George Arvine addressed
the audience last night during one of
the intermissions and told them that
next week will be the closing week of
the season, but that the same COM
pany will be back in Bridgeport next
season beginning next September.
| This announcement was greeted with
the greatest enthusiasm which bore
ample evidence to the great popu-
larity in which the members of the
Poll Players company are held by
| Bridgeporters.

PLAZA

'Paying His Debt" a story of the
plains, and it's peoples with Roy
Stewart in the leading role, began a
three-day run at the Plaza yesterday
and, judging from the manner in
which it was received at the opening
performance, it is going to be an ap-
preciated number on the bill during
its run,
1.-THE Chinese F'ollies a miniature
musical comedy with plenty of pep,
a large chorus of pretty and clever
girls, three male characters who carry
their roles we'll and wealth OF
scenic investiture and costumes that
greatly enhances it, headlines the
vaudeville bill. There is something
about the piece that places it in a
class by itself. 1t is lively, tuney
refreshing and novel and it should
prove exceedingly popular.
Tracey and Mcbride are a very tai
ented team and they have neat and
artistic offering that deserves unllm-
tied commentator. Both members
of the team have voices and the male
member is an exceptionally clever
dancer while the pretty young fema]s
works in plenty of live and timely
comedy. It's a classy Offering and
will find favor with those who ap-
preciate the artistic in variety enter
tainment.
Ell Gotta was a riot as he always is
when he puts over that xylophone re-
pertoire that he changes to suit the
times whenever he appears in Bridge
mort. He's an artist and he has per
sonality so that he not only makes
you feel that you are listening to some
real music but that you are being en-
tertained by chap who enjoys thu
pleasure fully as much as you do
Morton and May put over jug
Cling offering that is happily favored
with laughable incidents.
The Lyons-Moran comedy was ex
ceptionally funny and the travelogu
was interesting to no mean degree

EMPIRE

A quaint, little ragged girl, buffet
ed by fortune and fate in the Cali

faith of her sweetheart-that's the gist
of the Aircraft play, "M'Liss" in
which Americas sweetheart, Mary
Pickford appears in at the Empire
theatre to-day. The story was writ
ten by Bret Harte, the poet of the
Sierra Nevadas," and is an unusual
human interest tale that is sure to
appeal to one and all. Tomorrow

mount play, Loves Conquest" One

POLT'S

ALA Moskova & Company Not an
Arab act but one of the classiest Of
the classy Russian dancing acts that
has pleased Bridgeport audiences in
many months. More like Rajah in
parts than anything in the dancing
line which has appeared during three
seasons yet distinctively different and
having far more persons in the cast.
To describe the wonderfully Elusive
dancing that has been presented by
this troupe last night is almost impos-
sible for in sinuous grace it is superb.
Every action has been carefully
thought out by masters in the art and
the musical accompaniment makes
the 1.-THE and sprightly beauty of the
girls impetuous in it's appeal to the
public.
There are other attractions at Polls
both on the vaudeville stage and on
the screen where silent drama takes
It's cue from the most promising pro-
auctions of the masters. The 18th ep-
ISOLDE of THE Eagles Eye" disclos-
ing German treachery in America,
goes the limit when it shows in re-
plea the burning of Hopewell, Va.
Similarly startling in its action IS the
latest release of Hearst-Pathe News.
On the stage Jessie Hayward &
Compayn offer a comic sketch dealing
with theatrical life entitled, "Aircas-
tie Kate" This has both pathos and
hnmor interviewer and is admirably
adapted for laughmaiking qualities.
Miss Mae Murray in 1.-THE Brides
Awakening" displays several rare
traits in the modern screen star. Her
vehicle for renewed success is most
modern in its conception and adapta-
ton to drama and the locations are
superbly selected.
The skating bear attracted all eyes
yesterday and will be a particular
feature for the Riddles. Vincent &
Kelly offer novelty talk and song, and
Claud & Marion Cleveland in a divert
Ing round of repartee rejuvenated the
old and feeble.
Polls offers a round of gaiety for
those who seek refined amusement.

And save the scalps, all diffrent sized
Insted of killing each other with can

And insted of money they had glass

WINDOW SHADES.

A double set of window shades
an inner dark shade to harmonic
with the color scheme of the room,
and an outer white shade-are desir-
able, but both are not necessary. 1t
saves carpets and other things from
fading to exclude the sunshine when
a room is not in use; and also assists
in keeping sunny rooms cool in sum-
mer. Hence a dark or tan shade is
to be preferred, unless the house is
fitted with blinds. In that case only
the white shade is necessary.

FLOUR BOARDING is
NOW ON THE LIST

The announcement week ago that
the government had required millers
to make only war bread in the future
and that sales of -four would be lin
tied to As and SO pound sacks, has
resulted in a wild scramble for flour
on the part of the misinformed pub
lie. Many cases of boarding -four
have been reported in the last week.
Yesterday it was learned by Uni
esyi 5ta{ey "fTUUC lisr1Tat Ul w at
ter P. Innes, that car of flour had
been brought to a small town in
southeastern Kansas for distribution
in 900 pound lots to customers of
a cooperative store. When the mat
ter was explained the customers re-
iaex;shod. t1ata~- ella ins-- to the large
quantities of flour There will be no
increase in the price of -four. The
price for 4S-peund sacks in Wichita
is now $270 to $2.75. There are
slight variations from this price in
some localities.
A miller of this county says there
are no 96-pound sacks of flour put
up in Kansas. Sacks that size, he
says are sold in the south where the
ignorant negroes buy them on the
theory that they are getting 100
pounds.
Considerable -four boarding has
been going on here for weeks. Mer-
chants report many sales of 10 to
