and headed for the waste basket. The

the treasurer and secretary, and one
the Judge"
They all looked at Porky Pig with
their shouts hanging down quite sadly.
Each had hoped he would be presl-
dent.
Just then a new pig came along.
He'd been In the pen only n few days,
Good afternoon, brothers and
friends" he said, bowling politely, and
twisting his tnll as he laughed pleas
>nntly. "Hope you're all feeling well
this nice spring day"
"We're having a great deal of trou-
BILE" said Grandfather Perky. "Now
I'm the oldest and wisest pig In the
pen and l would like TO be the presi-
dent, but Il seems that every pig
wants to be president. Every single
pig has the same idea-to be the lead
Grand all because l suggested It."
Before we gather any moro pigs
around u.s." said the new pig whose
name was Sammy Sausage, "let's de-
eide on something. Now the farmer
bought me hecause he knew | had
sense. I have. Look nj mel I'm
Sammy Sausage, the great pig. And
II you were reilly wise you'd all
choose me for president"
Dear me-" squealed Grandfather
Perky, "and stlll another pig wants to
take the lead"
"Listen," said Sammy Sausage. 1--WE
don't want any of the other pigs to
hear or they'll all want 10 be presi-
dent. But we win all now decide TO
each try TO be president. Wen get
the pigs TO vote and the one who gets
the most votes will be president. the
one who comes In second with votes
will be vice president and so on down
through the list"
"How win we get tho pigs 10 vote
for us7" asked Grandfather Porky.
"Oh. that's simple" said Sammy
Sausage, "all we do Is to go around
and make speeches on stumps or mud
piles. We must say that every other
pig up for the Job Of being the LEADER
Is absolutely no good at all, we must
say that II the pigs don't want the
pen to go to absolute destruction then
they must vote for u.s. that Is each
pig for himself"
"Fine. me the pigs squeaied. And
of they went telling OF their new
scheme and asking the pigs to vote
for them on the day soon coming up.
on which all pigs would be expected
TO make their choice.
But the poor pigs got mixed up. FOL
each pig called the other n dreadful
creature and said the most awful
things about each other, until all the
pigs were fighting and quarreling. II
was just then that Mrs. Plnky Pts
stepped In and said one day when all
the pigs were gathered around, Lets
all be the same, equal pigs and DOM
let's fight about who Is 10 lead" So
they gave up voting and were once

MUST NOT RELAX
 WORK BECAUSE OF THE PEACE TALK

Since negotiations for armistice agreements have been on foot there has been in certain quarters noticea- ble relaxation of effort, due to the impression that the war is over and that there is no longer need for in tensive work. Such is not the opinion of Secretary Lane of the Department of the Interior, who has sent the fol- lowing telegram to the State Council of Defense, which in turn has trans- mitted 1t to the Bridgeport War Bu- reau:
 T earnestly beg you not to relax your efforts in the slightest degree on | account of the possibility of an early armistice. Even if an armistice should be completed this does not mean that the war is over and in any case the emergency will not be over for a long time. Most of the work which you have been called on to per- form must go on undiminished, and | I hope every man and woman in the defense system will stay on the job." i The War Bureau adds it's plea to that of Secretary Lane and of the State Council of Defense, in asking munitlon workers and others engaged in war work and relief work to "stick 1 by their guns" and continue the ! splendid effort that has characterized
 Bridgeport throughout the war.

ELECTRIC LIGHT BAN
 IS MUCH MODIFIED
Starting Monday Store Windows May Be Illuminated While Shops
 Arc Open.

Washington. Nov. 9-Partial relax ation in the Eastern States of the re- strictions against the use of fuel gen. erated light effective next Monday, was announced last night by Fuel Administrator Garfield.
 In New England, New York. Penn sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware. Min nesota, Michigan, Ohio and the Dis trict of Columbia store and shop win dows may remain lighted when the establishments are open and are re- quired to be dark on "lightless nights only if the places are closed.
 In Maryland, New England and the District of Columbia, however, use of fuel generated light for illumina- tfon, signs, ornamentation or window display when the stores are closed still is forbidden, while in Michigan and Ohio and any other State where the Federal Fuel Administrator so di- rects the use of such light must be absolutely discontinued on Mondays and Tuesdays.
 Over the rest of the country full discretion is given to State fuel ad- ministrators to enforce or extend such restrictions as are provided in the present regulations.
 Dr. Garfield said improvement ir the East in the general supply of bi luminous and steam anthracite coa had made the change in that section possible.

MRS. GAIT WANTS WOMEN SEATEDAT THE PEACE TABLE

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, as presi- dent of the National American Wom- an Suffrage Association and of the h. ternational Woman Suffrage Alliance. has issued an appeal to the heads of all national women's organizations to urge joint action in an effort to insure that women have adequate represen- tation on the peace commission. Mrs. Catt's appeal says:
 ''It is not only desirable, 1t is inher- ent1y necessary that the personnel of the peace commission shall include women.
 We are not unaware that this will be to break established precedent. No commission before by the appoint ment of her government.
 But this is the age and this the hour when established precedent has lost it's stranglehold and custom has lost its throttling power.
 There have been wars before this but never a war which has been SC much in partnership between men and women all the world around. Wome: have not served merely as inspirers ot men, but have performed the actua war service, as we'll on the battle line as in the war industries.
 Men have paid the price of thi! war. And women have paid it. AnG always there has been in the con sciousness of women the realization that they have had to pay withou ever having had voice in the making of the governments that make an( | unmake war.
 '"The deep-lying fundamental out rage to the woman nature because O i the terrible destruction of human lift | has been augmented by the outrage t' | her human nature in having been de nied direct representation in govern ments that command her allegiance | Women possess an understanding o i the psychology of human nature tha dowers them with distinct power o | contribution to the peace table.
 we believe that these considera tions should weigh with the govern ] ments to be represented in the peac conference and that women represen tatives of each will be empowered [ 1 sit in that conference. We urge al national women's organizations t ! join with us in the effort to secur | that end.'

PAPP DIES AFTER
 ASSAULT POLICE
 HUNT ASSAILANT

Daniel Papp of Hollister Heights, Stratford, who was found on Cottage street near Park avenue, in an uncon- scious condition last Sunday morning and was rushed to St. Vincent's hos pital by Dr. Burns of the emergency hospital, died last night of a fractured skull.
 According to his story which he told after he regained consciousness for a short while on Sunday, he was as- saulted by Andrew G1orka of 263 Hal lett street.
 Papp left work Saturday afternoon at the Bridgeport Maleable Iron Foun- dry on the East Side and came to the, business part of the city to make some purchases before going home. About 8 o'clock in the evening he stepped into a saloon, the name of which he could not recall and there
 he met Grorka, an alleged friend.
 During the course of a friendly con versation GrOrka asked Papp for d loan of some money but Papp refused | and heated conversation followed. A little before midnight Papp left the saloon to go home. However, all he knew was that he was struck on l the head with something like a black | jack and later found himself in the | hospital.
 When the police went to investigate Korka they found that he had left the | city, and up to press hour no trace 1 of him has been found. l Papp leaves wife and five small children.

UNITY RESERVE
 BANKS FOR BOND
 SALES IN FUTURE

Washington, Nov. 9-An entirely new plan of organization for handling not only future Government bond is- sues but War Saving Stamps and all Government issues for popular sub scription is under consideration by the Treasury Department as the re- suit of a two-day session of gover- nors of the Federal Reserve Banks, chairmen of Liberty Loan Commit tees and representatives of the Wo- mems Liberty Loan Committee.
 While the details of the plan have not been finally determined it was learned from authoritative sources last night, after the adjournment of the conference that a practical agree ment was reached by all represented and the plan in general contemplates twelve unified organizations with the Governors of the Federal Reserve Banks at their heads, these organiza- tions reporting through the gover- nors to the Treasury at Washington.
 Each governor, according to the present plan, is to be responsible for the form and results of the organiza- ton in his district. This would obviate, it is pointed out, the neces- sity of various state, women's and other independent organizations, each reporting to Washington.
 A definite form of organization un- der each bank governor, one whict he must follow, Is not contemplated but he is expected to be the responsi- ble head of whatever form of or ganization he may choose to establish in his district.
 Another feature of the plan, it wa: | learned, is to make a continuous sell ing organization throughout the coun | try. The twelve district committees or whatever their name shall be, art to be assigned quotas of War Savings Certificates and other Government is sues, to cover periods of three or si1 months. If at the approach of thu end of any period, it shall appeai l that the district is falling behind il It's quota, special drives are to be or ganized, but the idea is to keep thu | Government issues constantly befort the public and avoid as far as possi
 ble periodic drives.
 | An official announcement of tn
 new plan as soon as 1t has been re viewed carefully by the Treasury of
 f1cials is expected.

ABSOLUTE UNITY
 MOST ESSENTIAL !. SAYS PRINCE MAX

Amsterdam, Thursday, Nov. 7.-Ab- solute unity is necessary among the German people if they would avert unforeseen consequences, declared Chancellor Maximilian in an appeal to the German people. He urged that all remain calm. The Chancel- lor's appeal, received in an official despatch from Berlin, reads:
 For more than four years the Ger man nation, united and calm, has en- dured the most severe sufferings and sacrifices. If at this decisive hour, when only absolute unity can avert from the entire German people great dangers for it's future, internal strength gives way, then the conse- quences are unforeseeable.
 "An indispensable demand in these decisive hours, which must be made by every peoples government is the maintenance of the hitherto existing calm, under voluntary discipline. May every citizen be conscious of the high responsibility toward this people in the fulfIlment of their duty.''

GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE AIDS MORALE OF ARMY Wrought Insurance Miracle of Doubling Outstanding
 Life Insurance. ERRORS DOWN
 TO MINIMUM Soldiers Dependents Cared For In Case of Injury
 or Death.

Chicago. Nov. 9-It has cost the government only $1 ,500,0O0 to write $36, ,25O,OOO of insur- ance on the lives of soldiers and sailors within the last year, said Thomas B. Love, assistant secretary of the treasury, in an address here today before the Association of Life Agency of f1cers. By its accomplishments in the short period of 12 months the treasury's bureau of war risk insurance "has wrought the insurance miracle of doub- ling the volume of ordinary life insurance outstanding in the world" Mr. Love said.
 Describing the growth of the larg- est life insurance organization in the world, the largest disbursing inst1tu- tion, and the biggest government bureau, with 14,000 employees, Secre- tary Love said the result had con- tributed strongly to the morale of American troops abroad by giving them material assurance that their dependents were cared for during their absence and would continue to receive assistance from the govern 1 ment in case of their death or in- | jury.
 Secretary Love said that in the last two months more than 18,0OO sol diers or sailors have died of influenza in this country alone and insurance which the government will pay tc their beneficiaries will amount eventually to $17O,OOo,OO0. Premium l income collected from insured sol diers is estimated at $143,000,000 and up to Nov. 1, disbursements on ac' count of deaths amounted to $4,102,' | 900. These payments are distributed
 over a period of years and the az gregate or computed value of claim!
 is $122,098,O00. New insurance ha | been written at the rate of $2,750, 900, 900 a month or S92,00O,000 da! and 1t Is estimated that 95 per cent of the men in the army and navy art insured.
 During the first year of its exist
 ence," said MT. Love, "the bureau 0
 war risk insurance handled nor than 5000, 900 individual application
 for insurance and allotments and al
 lowances together, besides man
 thousand compensation cases. It ha
 been necessary to maintain more tha,
 30, 900, 900 card records and the wor,
 all told has involved literally hun
 dreds of millions of separate clerica and administrative transactions"
 Errors now had been reduced to
 minimum, he said, and there are com paratively few complaints from per sons failing to receive proper allot ment and allowance remittances.

Airplane Expert
 Predicts Use of
 Planes For Travel

London, Nov 9-"America will be- come within reach of England in a day and a half and the time will come when an Englishman in New York will see his London paper the morn ing after it's publication" said Hand ley Page, the airp1ane constructor, recently.
 He prophesied that immediately on the declaration of peace it would be possible to begin an air service be- tween Marseilles and London with a single stop at Paris for an overhaul and taking in gasoline. MT. Page continued:
 "Constantinople could be reached in twenty hours, Rome in twelve and half hours, and Marseilles in eight he said.
 An 800 mile service could be run at a profit, both for mails and pas sengers, at a rate but little in excess of that at present in force.
 Aerodromes As Stations.
 "I base my calculations on the use of a medium sized machine making nonstop flights of 400 miles. Each would carry 4,400 pounds of reve- nue-earning load. There would be first class aerodromes at each end o1 the route, and another in the middle Second~class aerodromes would be | provided every 100 miles.
