 In High School Tonight.

At the meet ings of the generals, captains and workers of the M@ute Women in the High School Hall tonight she will de- scribe her experiences as a factory hand.
 Mrs. Rector was persuaded to go to work by the conviction that the time has come when every person must give all his time to the production of munitions, and as she found she had time that could be devoted to muri- tions making, she Npromptly offered her services and they were accepted. | She thinks all women will be inter- ested in her experiences, and tonight she will tell in detail what practical work even inexperienced women can do to help win the war.

 at the meeting tonight, and every | Minute Woman and worker is expect ed to attend. Any questions that have been bothering the workers, cap tains or others, who will take up the

WAR FUND DRIVE WILL CLOSE WITH
 DINNER TONIGHT
Workers and Team Captains to Make Final Report at
 The Stratfield.

The Czecho-SIovak War Fund Cam paign comes to a close with the din- ner which will be held this evening at the Hotel Stratfield, at which all the captains and team workers will turn in their final reports.
 Upon the liberality of the public's gifts today depends whether or not this war fund will be subscribed to the same extent as the other war funds which have been raised in Bridgeport.
 The committee is urging public spirited citizens to send in their pledges and subscriptions direct to headquarters, Room Al, The Strat- field.
 If the response today is sufficiently large the quota will be raised. If not Bridgeport will have failed for the ! first time since the war began in rais- ing war fund.
 The committee confidently expects however, that the fund will go well over the quota but it Is to be hard battle today and the workers are go- | ing at it with a grim determination not to fail.
 The amount raised at the tag day has not yet been fully counted. The workers counted until late Saturday | night and foY several hours Sunday morning, but were unable to completE | the count.
 | The success of the Minute WomeT in tagging the pubic was everywhert being spoken of.. By Saturday nigh there was hardly a person on tht | streets who did not wear a tag. Int results when it is considered that tht day came right at the climax of { great War Saving Stamp drive showed what a wonderfully efficient organiza ton the Minute Women have and th' results which may be obtained b! systematic work such as was carried out by Mrs. F'leck and the generals O the Minute Women aided by thei captains and host of workers. The committee urges all workers t be present tonight and make thei final reports. The result of the cam paign will be definitely known at tn luncheon which will begin promptl at 6:15.
 OpOn Il10 u day will depend whether Bridgepor

 Slovak National Council in Washing

INFLUENZA NOT
 VERY DANGEROUS

Most of the deaths from the infiu enza which is prevalent in the eastern stats at this time, is due indirectly, rather than directly, to the disease it. self. in the opinion of Health Officer Walter H. Brown. Dr, Brown said this morning: With proper precau- tfons sufferers from the so-called Spanish influenza need not fear a fla tai consequence. Death in such cases is mainly due to pneumonia, princi- paly following influenza, because the patient did not take care of himself. Anyone who has fever should go di- rectly to bed and stay there at least 24 heurs, calling in competent phy- siciaa, Sanitary precautions in cough ing ,spitting, and washing the hands before meals, will tend to check the disease"
