FISH IS
SERVED TO MEN
At The FRONT

With the American Army in France,
April 1.-(Correspondence of The AS
ISOLATED Press. Fish that have been
out of the water only an hour or SO
is quite common in officers messes at
complete without a nice broiled or
trout or two sometimes.
An American major who until re-
Gently was with the British army in
Flanders taught his fellow4officers the
trick of how to get fresh fish with
out fishing for them. There IS no
time for fishing, even when it might
be good, with Germans in the hills all
round waiting to shoot at something.
The major was passing a lake just
in the rear of our first line the other
afternoon when he saw a large pike
swimming along near the surface. Next
afternoon he came back to the lake
with a handful of grenades. He bang
ed two of them on a stone and dropped
them into the water.
There were two muff1ed explosions
and then in about two minutes up
foated three large pike, one Of them
nearly four feet long. The major
hauled them to shore with a stick and
carried them off. His mess had fish
for dinner, and it tasted good. So he
gave away the secret and told how he
used to get trout in Flanders the same
way.
There are a number Of lakes in our
sector and all of them are teeming
with fish as the location has not been
quiet enough for anglers to visit them
for many months.

WAR THREATENED
EXISTENCE OF A
BRIDGEPORT SHOP
Work Of Bridgeport Chem
ist in Producing Record
ing Wax Beats Kaiser.
MADE IN GERMANY
ONLY BEFORE WAR
Due to Emile De Stubner We
Are Able to Make GRAPHIC
phone Records.

But for the genius of Emile de
Stubner, a chemist, of 1886 Fairfield
avenue, the Emperor of Germany
would have baked one of Bridge
ports largest in1ustries-tre AmerI-
can Graphophone Co. When war was
declared the supply of recording wax,
which was obtained only from Ger
many, ceased. De Stubner, chief
chemist at the Graphophone plant, is
mainly responsible for it's operation to-
day.
The making of records was, for a
time, threatened, but after days of
careful study in the plant laboratory,
Chemist De Stubner discovered the
secret of making recording wax and
perfected a substance said to be of
better quality than the German pro-
duct.
In this months issue of THE Tone
arm" published by the American
Graphophone Co., E. N. Burns, vice
president, under the title of THE
Source Of the Wonder Voice." tells of
de Stubner's achievement. Burns
says: THE palpable feature of the
Master Record is a highly polished
"dA O1SS- LIE DldIlh III IISolI is no
negligible item. Prior to the war we
secured all of our recording wax
from Germany. Now-thanks to the
efforts of the best specializing we
could find, and an efficient laboratory
and factory force and the installation
Of expensive machinery, highly Ku1-
tured' wax is now produced in Bridge
port, Conn, U. S. A"
So the Kaiser has again been con-
quered and the honor and distinction
for applying the "crusher," is be-
slowed upon a Bridgeport man. DR..
deStubner is of Swiss birth, but now
boasts of an American citizenship.

that he was brought around to the

occupied one room of the three room
fiat, while another room was occupied
by the Letizias. Peter Galino occu-
pied the third room by himself, and
it was due to the fact that he had his
door closed and thus prevented the
full escape of the gas that any of the

alive today.

The effects Of the organized effort
and canvassing Of the city for the sale
of war savings stamps is seen in the
largely increased sales of stamps at
day the sales of stamps amounted TO
more than $4,000, the largest single
days sales since the campaign opened
tho first OF the year. The largely lin
creased sales are due very largely to
all the wards being now orga aizcd,
with solicitors making house-to-
house canvass.
Altho the sales Of stamps for We'd
nesday was far above the avera sc
daily sale required for the year to
make the county's quota Of $66o,00o,
the daily average must be kept high,
at least $4,000 a day, to make the
quota. During most Of the days since
early In the year the sales have been
below $4,000 day. and it has only
been quite recently that that daily
sum has been reached or passed.
In the Third and Fourth wards the
house-to-house canvass is being made
by registered men who have not been
called for the draft. In the First, Sec
ond, and Fifth wards women are doing
the canvassing. The success of the
canvass depends mostly on the thor
oughness with which it is done. for it
is undoubtedly true that many fami-
lies or individuals are waiting for the
solicitor to come to the house. In
vestigation Of the reasons why people
who are able to buy savings stamps,
and do not after being solicited, will
be ascertained in a second canvass by
