''TY' HETTlNCER
 RECOVERS FROM
 SERIOUS ILLNESS
Writes Friends Here From Pacific Coast Where He is
 Student at Stanford.

Matthias, "Ty'', Hettinger, former telegraph and sporting editor of the Times and Farmer, writes to friends in the office that he has now fully recovered from his recent serious ill., ness, and has resumed the study of law at Leland Stanford University. A. one time he was so i'll his life was despaired of.
 Hettinger left Bridgeport Decem- Der 13 for the Pacific Coast from which he had been absent for more than five years, arriving at his home Christmas eve. He registered in the university January 1 and took up work in his classes.
 'Ty" says, T got along all right until went to be vaccinated, which was required. My arm was scratched the 18th of January and didn't both. CT me for some time. In fact didn't think it was going to take On the morning of the 23rd I went to classes in the morning, had dinner, and play | ed chess until 2:30. Then I start ed for my room. As I neared it be- gan to feel drowsy, and when l reached my room I dropped on the bed at once. Later I tried to go about six feet for a drink of water, tainted, and was out for about four 1 hours, until a fellow who rooms next to me happened in and found me on the floor.
 "He called the doctor who vaccin- ated me, who, pronounced it severe reaction from the vaccination, but
 had me sent to the hospital in the
 morning. Friday I had what he call
 ed an attack and was unconscious
 so long he called in four other phy-
 sicians, and they pronounced me a
 hopeless case. However, I woke up,
 and was hustled into a private room : with two nurses at $35 8 week (me to pay) and I seemed to get along all right for time, and then had l another attack worse than the oth-
 CT.
 "As soon as I knew anything the doctor asked me where I lived an6 teelgraphed my people immediatel! that was dying. They came at once to see me, 200 miles. but had the
 trip for nothing, because I didn't die 1 l 107.s, something the doctor said wa! , unheard of.
 After that I got along for a timt
 until about two weeks later an ab
 scess formed under my left arm. H. made an inscision, drew out about { > pint of pus, and immediately the fe yer fell, but I was left very weak They called my trouble erysipelas They let me out of the hospital Feb
 ruary "A, after I had been there 8
 days. had lost over one third o ; the quarter, with only short time be fore examinations. I had to stud some to make up the lost time" Hettinger goes on to say that afte 5 the examinations he was pretty weak
 and took a short vacation at tn
 coast. He says he is Class A 1 of tn II draft, but has not yet been called = He wishes to be remembered to hi ? many friends in Bridgeport.

 '"To sablin, fleet commander, Se- bastopoI: Wire us position Black Sea navy, especially as concerns Odessa, Nikolayev, Batoum and Ire bizond. We have no recent informa- ton as to who is in possession of those places"

ORDERS EMBARGO
 ON MANY IMPORTS

Frederick B. Peterson, Director of Imports of the Federal War Trade Board, addressing 1000 importers yes terday at the Hotel Astor, Oannounced that the list issued on March g of re- stricted imports for which licenses would be required would be changed to an absolute embargo on and after April 15 as to all countries of the world except European countries, Mexico and Canada
 A list of S2 articles, mostly in the non-essential class is affected by the latest action of the War Trade Board.
 "The embargo as to these articles on this list after April 14-that is, from April 15 on-as to all countries of the world except European coun- tries, Mexico and Canada will be ab- solute," MT. Peterson said. That is to say, the Bureau of Imports will have no authority to issue a license for any of these commodities on the restricted list for importations from South America or Australia or the Orient after April A. There are many licenses outstanding for these articles ion the list from these couTIes, and such licenses will be inetS&ive fol shipment from abroad after April IA A general order has been issued re
 voking all those licenses"

BAKERS VISIT
 A HISTORIC ONE SAYS DAILY MAIL

London, April 5-The recent visit of Newton D. Baker, the American secretary of war, the Daily Mail says, was historic one and will leave a lasting impression on -Anglo-Franco- American relations, as 1t was then decided that American regiments should be brigaded with British and French troops on the western front.
 Premier Lloyd-George, it says, ac- quainted Secretary Baker with the situation and expressed the lively desire of the British government for the immediate employment of the American fighting forces. Secretary Baker was much impressed and went to France the next day and saw Gen. Pershing.
 '"The American commander in chief" adds the Daily Mail, fin that spirit of soldierly generosity and sportsmanship which characterized him in his subsequent pronounce ment to Gen. Foch, assented unhesi tatingly.
 'To Gen. Pershing belongs the credit for the prompt adoption of the scheme now in effect" In conclusion the Mail says: Tt only remains to be said that the American troops at the disposal of Gen. Foch are seasoned veterans of the regular United States army. They are troops of the same hardy fibre as the immortal British first l hundred thousand.'

CHILDREN SAVING
 TO SERVE COUNTRY

The children of the public schools of Connecticut are responding remarkably well to the appeal to save and serve for Uucle Sam, according to a state ment issueid by the State Director of War Savings.
 The State Committee reports that of 176, 900 children in 130 of the 168 towns in Connecticut, nearly 80,0O0 have pur chased Thrift Stamps or War Savings Certificates. This is a percentage of 45.
 These children are learning not only patriotic service with the attendant self-denial, but are also learning the real meaning of thrift. They are sac rif1cing sweetmeats, toys and similar things in order to respond to the call | of the Government.
 In many cases, they are industrially seeking ways and means of earning pennies, nickels or dimes with which to purchase Thrift Stamps.

Wafer Stands Pat

few years ago the dear old white-hared com panions of the Civil War patriots enlisted our atten- ton in a recital of the problems of house keeping owing to the high cost of living during that struggle What then seemed almost unbelievable now sinks into insignifcance In few months the mode of living has entirely changed and prices of commodi- ties scared to point even higher than endured in the Civil War. Almost everything has advanced. The only commodity which has stood the test in Bridgeport up to date is perhaps the most important one-Water.. This is due to the fact that while the prices of materials fair and the wage of labor normal, the future needs of the City were antci- pated by the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company and the great storage basins constructed. The Company in- vtes the attention of the public to this fact because it believes that shrewd business foresight will be repaid in cooperation on the part of the people through careful and conservative use of water There is plentiful supply allowing for normal n- crease of growth if needless waste is discontinued People are prone to disregard some of the most inn portant things because they chance to be the least expensive. This is so of water.
 The Company hopes to maintain the present price for water, which is lower than any city of Bridgeports size in the country. It do it with it's present plant and without additional expensive con- sructon if the public will get behind in effort to conserve water and be not wasteful in its use.
