Dear Miss Grey: To help win
this war every man, woman and
child should sacrifice in all
ways and every possible way.
We have our meatless day, our
wheatless days. Now, here in
this city hundreds of our popu-
lation visit our shows or NOV
ing picture houses weekly. and
som etimes twice, or thrice.
My suggestion is to have a
theaterless day once every week
or month. That Is, If l usual
ly attend a show once a week,
that l donate that 10, 20, or SO
cents at least once q month for
the greatest caues of today and
help win this war. Now let's
see what we can do.

RESUME TRIAL IN HUGHES SUIT IN
 SUPERIOR COURT

William G. Bowling, clerk of the board of Assessors at the time of the accident, described the collision of automobiles driven by Hugh Keegan and George Burns May 28, 1915, in which Frank J. Hughes, then a. mem Der of the board of assessors, was in jured. Hughes is suing both Keegan and Burns for damages of $1O,OO0 for the injuries received in the accident. Keegan also has suit pending before the Superior court and claimed for the jury, in which he seeks damages of S1O,O00 from Burns for the same ac- cident.
 Hughes claims in his complaint both drivers were negligent. Keegan makes the same claim against Burns.
 The trial was commenced laSt week in the Superior court before Judge William M Maltbie and a jury, and will last all of today and perhaps into l tomorrow.
 There are many witnesses, including all of the members of the board of as sessors, several medical experts, in cluding Dr. A. R. Diefendorf of New Haven, pr. c. c. Godfrey of this city and others, and a large array of coun sel, including Mayor David Fitzgerald of New Haven.
 The action is unusual becaus' Hughes is suing not only the drive, of the machine which collided witl his, but the driver of his machine Keegan, as we'll

The World of Finance

market has been largely liquidated, and unfavorable features in sight have been discounted. In the absence of disturbing news there would seem to me ground for the expectation that current equilibrium will be maintain ed, and that buying opportunities should be sought on reactions. The money situation may check tenden- cies for rallies to extend into ad- vances of importance, and the limits therefore appear to be set for a trad ing market Favorable railroad de- velopments are anticipated, and they may provide ammunition for better ment in that department. There is a strong belief in some quarters of the street that the prices of securities have discounted war taxation as at present arranged. Considerable inn portance is, to be attached to the large vote of the members of the Uni | te d States Chamber of Commerce in favor of warning the German people that unless they remove their military government the business men of this country will refuse to trade with | them hereafter. It may be a factor in hastening the end of the war. The business of the country is still ex- banding. This is shown by the bank clearings and railroad earnings re. ported within the past few weeks compared with a year ago.
 l In the railroad list there has beer evidence of good buying of Chesa. Feake & Ohio, Union Pacific, Nor. folk & Western, Southern Pacific ant Reading. Low-priced rails which may benefit from Washington deci sions under the new law are report

zIItIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

A most important matter appears to be neglected in Washington. There ought to be no more delay in moving progressively in it. We refer to stimu- lation of production all along the line of war requirements. It seems to us that the government should do all it possibly can to encourage every business to strive for large profits. Manufacturers and producers can do what the government cannot. And in their activities they are really work ing for the government and providing it with funds to carry on the war The practical side of this question is so manifest, so plain, that we fail to understand why the powers-that-be do not lay themselves out to say to the business man: Get busy; the government is going to allow you a wide margin of profit. It wants you to work for it; you are organized; you know your business; go ahead and make money and turn the larger part over to the government for the prosecution of the war"
 We want optimism, not pessimism to help float our war loans. Delay is dangerous The time is drawing neal for the promotion of the next wal Eond issue of the United States, and it may exceed all others in size. Ex' traordinary measures should be talk en to assure it's success. Says the great National City bank of New York, in it's latest monthly circular Industrial managers of the country are eager and impatient to know how they can use their plants to forward the plans of the government" The recent action of refiners in advancing the price of their work should have a favorable effect in regard to rais' ing fixed prices for copper metal Steel makers are also reported to bt preparing to ask the government fol relief in that direction, owing to higl operatihe costs. It is vitally impor' tant in our opinion, to stimulate thu production of war metals by approv ing substantial profits for the produ cers thereof.
 Action of the stock market lends color to reports of stocks having re gently gone into strong hands. Th' technical position would appear to b. sound. There is a petering out of Ii quidation after recessions and th' short interest seems to be large il proportion to the breadth of the ac 1 tive list. In Nher words, the genera

FOUR MINUTE MEN
 EXPLAIN WAR TAX

That this war is not a capitalists war will be impressed upon the minds of every person who attends the thea ters of the city, Friday evening, when the Four Minute Men take the plat form to explain the income tax. Each speaker will cite what the big man has to pay in taxes and what the per centage of the war burden the man of moderate means has to contribute as his share of the taxes.
 ''The income tax" is the topic which every one of the 25,00O Minute Men in the United States are featuring tr theatre audiences this week. Urgent appeals are being made to have everyone who must file a return do SC at once as the time for closing the income tax offices draws near. All failures to submit return will mear that the persons violating the law will be harshly dealt with.

COURT DECIDES TITLE TO LAND
 IN STRATFIELD

Under a judgment handed down to- day by Judge John J. Walsh of the Common Pleas Court title to about four acres of land in the now exclu- sive residential section of Stratfield road in Fairfield. is declared vested in Leonard B. Morehouse of Brooklyn and not in Minnie F. Hurd, who holds a life interest in the property. The case was heard before Judge Walsh last June.
 The contention in the suit was over the interpretation of the will of Julia Wilson, widow of Isaac Bangs Wilson, who died in February, 1915, at the ad- vanced age of 80 years. Her hus- band, Isaac Wilson, owner of the property in question, died March 20, 1914, and bequeathed all of his prop erty, real and personal, to his wife. She in turn bequeathed the life use of the ''Wilson Homestead'' to her niece, Minnie F. Hurd. Morehouse is nephew of Wilson, son of his sister Under the terms of the will of Mrs Wilson the defendant had claimed that all of the property, about fou1 acres, except the 60 feet upon which the house actually stood, had beer bequeathed to her absolutely, and had caused it to be so recorded in tht land records of Fairfield. The plain tiff disputed tfiis contention, ana brought suit to have the records cor rected.
 Judge Walsh reviews the case al considerable length, going into thu history of the property. Isaac Will son purchased it soon after the Civi War, at that time the land being en tirely farming property. He finds tha the plot surroU ading the residenct was about 7-S acres, and had neve been divided.
 The contention of Morehouse i
 that the property in question com
 prises the homestead" had neve
 been divided, and Mrs. Wilson's nice
 is entitled only to the life use of il
 Judge Walsh sustains this contention
 and gives Judgment in favor of More house. Morehouse does not disput the life use of the place of Mrs. Vii
 sons niece.

him down to his own typewriter and
