TOday's Anniversary.

The first observation of the festival of the RosaryS which is celebrated to- day by Catholics, was in the sixteenth century. The feast was instituted to implore divine mercy in favor of the church and all the faithful, and to re- turn thanks for benefits conferred upon them, more especially for the victory over the Turks at Lepanto in 1571. This triumph of Christian over Moslem armies was believed to have been obtained by the intercession of the Virgin Mary. Plus V. ordered that this victory be annually com memorated by feast to be called St. Maria de Victoria, but his successor, Gregory XIII, changed the title to the festival of the Rosary. The victory of Prince Eugene over the Turks in 1718 was ordered by Clement XII. to be included in the benefits which this office specially commemorates. The observance of the festival of the Ro- sary consists of a series of prayers, which are counted on beads.

AMERICAN WOMEN LEAD
 THE WORLD
They Have Beauty, Health
 and Brains

"A really beautiful woman is all ways a healthy woman," remarked one of our noted beauty specialists for true beauty comes from the blood and strong, steady nerves
 Rich, red blood, the fountain of life and youth, shows itself in a clear rosy skin, solid flesh, fine form and a keen bright mind. Red blooded women, with strong nervous vitality. are sought after by men; they are the hope and leaders of the world.
 American women lead the world in health, beauty and intelligence, and their number is increasing. They have learned the value of Iron and Phosphates in keping them in perfect condition.
 ''The number of weak, pale, Jagged out, run doWn and nervous women is bound to decrease rapidly, once the power of Phosphated Iron becomes more generally known" said a leading doctor. There is not a reason in the world why women should not be strong, happy and a joy to look upon when the remedy is at hand.
 "Phosphated Iron has accomplished wonders with my patients. It has restored health, vitality, strone nerves and happiness to whole famf- lies. It's the healthy, red, iron blood ed, strong, phosphate-fed nerved mer and women that enjoy life and lead ir every work" Think it over.

HUN RESERVES
 RUSHED TO THE ARCONNE SECTOR

London, Oct. 1-German reserves are being rushed into the battle be- tween the Argonne forest and the Mouse river, where the Americans are engaged, telegraphs the Mails correspondent, writing on Monday. A new German division has been identi- fled in the fighting, and the enemy apparently has decided to make a stand on the Kriemphild line.
 The Americans were fighting what almost resembled a pitched battle amid the ravines, woods and heights along that sector of the front.
 Every possible resource is being us ed by the enemy to prevent, or al least delay, the American advance but these efforts have availed him lit. tie. American airnsen continued theil fine work notwithstanding the baG weather.

HUNS ALARMED AT HAVOC MADE
 BY.U.S. BOMBS

Behind the American Lines in France, Oct. 1-(Correspondence of The Associated Press)-Bombs of an incredible size are now carried by American aircraft, and some idea of their destructive capacity may be gained from the fact that they can not be dropped at a lower altitude than 5000 feet, so greatly Is the air disturbed by the explosion.
 An amusing incident occurred when the first of these was dropped on enemy territory, which is much harried by American bombers and consequently bristles with search lights and anti-aircraft batteries. So terrific was the explosion that every searchlight went out instantly, and the airmen were deprived of the landmarks on which he had counted to find his way home.
 Americans in this squadron have had remarkable success. In two weeks they accounted for twenty-six enemy machines, seventeen of which were crashed, and one balloon. All are imbued with the idea of maintain ing the offensive under all eircum- stances.
 Recently two of them, finding them selves cut off by twenty of the enemy while returning to camp, refused to seek safety in flight. Instead, they swept up at the German machines, which were all above them, and so rattled the enemy by their unexpected daring that they actually brought | down four of his machines and | though not undamaged themselves were able to land behind our lines. A successful attack was made by | members of this squadron not long | ago upon a troublesome enemy aero 1 drome which long had evaded discov- | cry, so c1everly was it concealed ir the grounds of a chateau. The cha teau served as the headquarters ol the officers of the German squadron and the hangars were hidden in the edge of the woods about the house The American squadron was actinG as escort to the bombers charged witf the destruction of the aerodrome.
 In field about half a dozen enemy airplanes were discovered, most O them with their propellers running and preparing for flight. The Amer ican machines swooped down with in a hundred feet of the ground ant circled about the field, sweeping i with the fire from their machine guns until all of the German ma chimes were blazing and the men at
 tending them either shot or drivel
 into a nearby woods.
 Meantime bombs had been droppet
 on all the hangars and on the cha
 teau itself, which burnt like torcl
 and lighted the attackers on their re | turn journey.

AIRMEN DISPLAY UNUSUAL BRAVERY
 IN BURNING PLANE

A British Airdrome in France, Oct. -(Correspondence of The Associat- ed Press) An artillery observation plane caught fire while trying to ob- tain the range of bridge. Did the airmcn attempt landing to escape the flames or did they remain aloft to complete their tasks?
 The pilot of the plane gives the an swer in his own words:
 II switched off the petrol supply and opened out the throttle" he said "One steep, swift dive, and the fire was out
 Then I hesitated. Should we hur- " off for home and safety, or continue the shoot, in which a very little more observing would bring complete suc- cess? I turned to the observer. He leaned over and inspected the dam age. It was not very bad really. He shouted into my ear. Let's carry on.

Our part was done and in few minutes time the bridge was entirely destroy ed. In our excitement the faulty en- zine had been forgotten, until, with one last splutter it gave out com pletely, 1t stopped.
 The machine was really on fire this time, and was too late. The woodwork was burning, independent

 SPEAK TO THE
 COMMERCE MEN

 Done for. Crippled Men.

The Bridgeport Chamber of Com merce has been fortunate in securing as the speaker at its monday lunch con on Wednesday of this week Doug las c. McMurtrie, director of the Red Cross Institute for Crippled and Dis abled Men, New York City.
 Dr. McMurtrie, while an exception ally busy man who Is spending much time speaking in the larger cities throughout the country, feels that Bridgeports industrial importance de- mands that he give to this city the message which he bears regarding our
 duty to the wounded and crippled soldiers who are now beginning to return to this country. His address will be an address of optimism and it will be of great interest to all em- p1oyers of labor and to everyone in-
 terested in the welfare of the men who have been wounded in their coun- try's service.
 America has an opportunity of do- ing for our wounded soldiers a service | which has never been done before by any country in the worlds history Our knowledge of the situation and | our knowledge of what should be done will determine the degree ot perfection with which America copes | with this great problem. Probably nc | man in the world is better qualified tc speak on this subject than Dr. McMur- | trie, who has made personal studies | of the work in England, France, Italy | Belgium and Canada and is at the | head of the work of re-education ant | rehabilitation of crippled and dis abled men in this country. It should | be regarded not only as a pleasure
 but duty to hear him at the Cham
