Committee Will Cooperate In Every Way With Those Who Desire Help

The importance of obtaining from the soil every item of human food which it can possibly be made to pro- duce cannot at this time be over-esti- mated. To society in general and to himself in particular, every individual is confronted with the duty of doing his utmost to not only relieve the present tense situation, but to present a bad condition from becoming in finitely worse.
 The Bridgeport Home Gardens committee, 10 First-Bridgeport Ma tional Bank building, will cooperate in every way hDssible with those who desire to help. Land for cultivation will be supplied free, and seeds, tools and fertilizer will be provided at low est cost Flowing will also be done at prices in most instances impossible to the average idividual, and free in- struction will be given by recognized experts in preparing the seed and ground, planting, cultivating, safe guarding against disease and insects, as we'll as harvesting and canning.

DEMAND FOR BOOKS
 ON JEWISH WORK

There is an ever increasing demand for books in the English language dealing with topics of Jewish interest. Jews and non-Jews who have occasion to seek information concerning Jew ish history and literature and wish to acquaint themselves with current Jewish events, have felt that the public libraries do not contain suff1 cient amount of reference and other Jewish books to enable them to ob- tain the data sought.
 To meet this demand arrange ments are being concluded by which the local public library will be sup piled by MT. Sol. Badesch with a col lection of the best Jewish books in the English language and catalog for free distribution, so that the col lection of books will not only grace the shelves of the library but their existence will be brought home to the Jewish families and to non-Jews in terested in this particular litera- ture.

Amsterdam, April 26-Vice Admiral Schroeder, the commander at Zee brugge, according to reports reach ing here, will be deprived of his com mand for being taken by surprise by the British on Tuesday.
 German newspapers in comment ing on the raid on Zeebrugge gener- ally take the hint given in the official reports of Berlin and represent the enterprise as having been a failure. Some, however, admit that the attack was made with great boldness.

VapoRub, for all the many forms of cold troubles, from head colds, asthma or catarrh, down to sore throat, bron- chitis or deep chest colds.
 Just apply VapoRub well over the throat and chest, covering with a warm flannel cloth. Leave the cover ing loose around the neck so the va DOTS, released by the body heat, may be freely inhaled. The next morning the head is clear, phlegm losened and soreness gone. One rubbing with VapoRub usually relieves croup in 15 minutes and an application at bedtime prevents a night attack.
 Colds are easiest to stop at the be- ginning. Nip them in the bud" by keeping plenty of fresh air in the bed room and applying VapoRub freely at the first sign of trouble. Your drug gist will sell you a 25c jar with the privilege of months trial.

SKY WILL SOON BE BLACK WITH OUR AEROPLANES G. Douglas Wardrop Fix plains Status of Production

TREMENDOUS TASK

May Not Have Them By July 4,But In Early Fall Many
 Machines Will Be Ready

Explaining the. public disappoint- ment in the recent announcement of the failure of the airplane plans of the government to have 10000 on the nghtlng front by July 1, G. Douglas Wardrop, who spoke last night at the High school auditorium, said no ex- planation was given the public as to why this program had not been car ride out. While we will not have 2O,0oO over there by July l." he said, i've will have them over there in large numbers by August, more in September, and in the early fall and next spring the sky will be black with them,
 Wardrop is a proctica1 flyer, has made flights over the German trench es anld upon other fronts and let go a few quantities of explosives over German lines which he said he hoped had accomplished what was intended 9 the audience applauding the senti- ment. In his address he used stere- optioon and motion pictures.
 The engineers realized, he said the tremendous task involved when the government promised 10000 planes by July of this year, but the public did not. The worst has now been told in the last few days, he said, and i'm provement can be expected in the near future. In telling of the failure of the program, the newspapers did not go into the reasons, and what the vast program to construct that num- ber of airplanes meant.
 First he said, i've had to have lumber, spruce. There we ran against German propaganda to hamper us and we had to form the Loyal Legion o1 Lumbermen, 62,O00 of them, to assure the quantity of lumber we nedeeIdI Transportation was another delay and we had to build railroads. Now there is a sufficient quantity of lum- ber coming to meet the demands.
 "Linen is used to cover the wings Linen comes from Ireland, and there was no available supply, so we had tc make a substitute. This was difficult but one has been deviseld from cotton which answers the purpose.
