BOYS WARNED OF
 THE POISON IVY

But Scouts, whatever kind of camp ing trip you take, beware of the rhus toxicodendron! In plain United States the rhus toxicodendron is poison ivy
 The poison in this plant is con- tained in sort of oily substance on the leaves that rubs off when it is touched. This poison, however works slowly, and often it is a long time before it strikes into the skin. When it once begins it's work there is little that can be done to cure it, although baking soda, mixed in a thick paste with water, carbolic salve or vaseline, will help to relieve the irritation.
 With the rhus toxicodendren "an ounce of prevention is worth pound of cure" If you scrub your hands thoroughly the poison can be washed off before it does any damage. It is always a good plan, therefore, to use plenty of soap and water after being exposed to the poison. If you are particularly susceptible a little alcohol should be rubbed on after the soar and water treatment.
 In nine cases out of ten infection on the face comes from the hands For that reason we should be care. full to keep our hands off our faces after exposure to this irritating plant

GARDEN WORK PAYS
 92 CENTS AN HOUR

One large manufacturing concern in Ohio provided gardens for it's em- ployees in 1917, and required them to keep an accurate record of the time spent working the gardens and the value of the crop grown.
 At the end of the season the re- suits showed that the gardeners had received 92 cents an hour for their spare time spent in the gardens.
 Another large manufacturing con- cern in Illinois plowed up prize 40- acre alfalfa field and divided it into garden plots for the use of it's en- ployees. The results obtained from this garden plot far exceeded the ex- pectations of both the company and it's employees.
 Manufacturers all over the country are providing gardens for their em. ployees this year, according to re ports to the United States Department of Agriculture.

MUST NEGOTIATE
 PEACE WITH GUN SAYSWICKERSHAM

There is only one way to negotiate with Germany; that is with the big gest guns and the most highly per- fected system of modern warfare" said George W. Wickersham, formerly attorny general of the United States, during the course of an address at a conference held by the Connecticut War Savings Committee, for the pur- pose of rasing the $1,200,o0 in thrift and war savings stamps allotted to this state to be sold in retail stores before December 31 of this year.
 Negotiated speech with Germany said MT. W1ckersham, is as possible as negotiated speech with the devil. Even more impossible, as I am told that his Satanic majesty has some slight signs of the qualifications of a gentleman. The present is not a time for the upbuilding of political ma chimes. It is time to get busy and win this war. Freedom is at stake. Wherever you follow the trail of the German serpent all that you find is bad. German propaganda ruined Russia. Caeser's dream of dominion did not compare in magnitude with that of Germany for the past 25 years

vii! Make Search
 For Delinquents

Information relative to the income tax is being rapidly compiled at Wash ington, and will soon be in the hands of the tax officers who will use the data while hunting for tax dodgers. At present delinquents are appearing in quite large numbers at the local income tax office for the purpose of filing their returns. These taxpay- CTS are allowed to make out their returns, and they are then submitted to the Hartford office where action is taken relative to a penalty.
 It is the belief of the local tax agents that there are a large num- Der of Bridgeport taxpayers who, for various reasons, have not filed their returns as yet. AS soon as the data from Washington arrives an energetic campaign will be started by the tax men to determine just who the per. sons are who have failed to comply with the law.

HONOR REGIMENT WHICH WITHSTOOD HUN AT APREMONT War Cross Awarded to 122 Men of 1O4th (Massachu- setts) for Gallant Fight. BORE BRUNT OF
 GERMAN ATTACK Men Highly Complimented by French and American
 Commanders.

With the American Army in France, Sunday, April 2S.-(By the Associated Press>-The French army today paid an historic tribute to the United States vixen 122 soldiers, sons of Mas sachusets, were decorated with the war cross for bravery displayed in re- cent fighting. The ceremony which was held on picturesque field short distance from the front line trenches, was one of the most impressive in which American soldiers have partici- pated since their entry to the war
 One hundred and seventeen men from the 104th Massachusetts, regi- ment, who bore the brunt of the Ger man attack in te Apremont forest on April 12, received medals as did five men of another regiment who had participated in earlier fighting around SoisSonS.
 Here and there in the line of he roes were spaces representing Amer jeans who were killed or wounded se- verely.
 It had been raining in the forenoon, but the sun broke through the gray | ish clouds when the 104th regiment, which was alsp decorated as a unit, passed in review before American and French generals. Bands played the Star Spangled Banner and the 'fMarseillesp while the American and French flags waved proudly and de- dant1v within sound of the roar of the German guns.
 | The French general in conferring the decorations said of the regiment:
 Tt showed the greatest audac1ty and a fine spirit of sacrifice. Sub iected to very violent bombardments and attacked by large German forces it succeeded in checking the danger ous advance and took, at the point of the bayonet in most vigorous way. prisoners and some demolished trenches from which it had faller back at the first assault
