TYPISTS EXAMS.
TO BE HELD HERE

William Paul, the local representa-
tive of the United States Civil Service
Commission at the main postoffice has
received information today that the
government urgently needs thousands
of stenographers and typewriters at
washington and that the commission
has modified it's requirements for
these positions. Competitors who do
not desire to take the whole exam
nation need take. the practical tests
in stenography and typewriting only,
These subjects consume ordinarily
not more than one hour and II passed
the prospects of appointment are ex-
cellent.
The examination will be held every
Tuesday at the old high school build
ing, beginning at 9 a. m. Mr.. Paul
states that those persons who can
not take the examination during the
day may be examined in the evening

FOUR MINUTE WAR SPEECHES

PA GROUP of business have been generous
considerable with respect to aid than those
who own operate the theatres of Bridgeport
Their latest contribution is the loan of their stages for
twenty meetings. to be occupied for four minutes each
sion by the speakers Of the government.
The sacrifice is greater than might be supposed because
those who to the theatre go for amusement and not that
serious matters may be presented to their attention.
Nevertheless the government does not decline oppor-
tunity to reach many of its citizens Since millions of
going enduring in the of democracy very
hardshps and sacrifice the does
feel particularly compassionate toward hearegoers who have
to endure the hardship of listening to short speech
subject
To do Bridgeport audiences justice it almost everywhere
appeared that the people intensely interested the
sage the government had to convey.
The theatre succeeded in giving their patrons
satisfaction than they would otherwise have obtained.
The theatre is rewarded in another way that its import
in the general life of the community is appreciated
and better understood.

The CHAUTAUQUA

The annual Hood River chautauqua
is approaching.
The chautauqua should be better this
season than ever before. No less
appealed to the people to lend their
support to this modern day educational
a medium for entertainment. During
this period of wartime the people
should not be allowed to drop into rut
and become depressed. All forms of
wholesome entertainment should be
encouraged. From this standpoint
chautauqua gatherings will be decided
ly beneficial.
The Ellison-White Co., which will
furnish the speakers and entertainers
for the chautauqua in July, has prom
ised US some national figures, men of
reputation for their depth of thinking
and the impressive manner in which

chautauqua will not only entertain us,
but these messages to be brought by
eloquent men will tend to stir us to a
greater pitch of endeavor for aiding
our government and our boys at the
front.
We predict success for the chuatau-
qua this season. A gratifying interest
is already being displayed. In addi-
tion to the business and professional
men of the city, who have aided with
chautauquas in past years, the Wom.

movement. Get your tickets early,
