Lesson in Scientific
 Complexion Renewing

Everyone has 8 beautiful skin un- derneath the one exposed to view. Bear that in mind and it will be easier to understand the correct prin- ciple in acquiring a lovely complexion. Nature is constantly shedding the top skin in f1aky particles like dandruff, only much smaller in size. In abnor- nal conditions, or in advancing age, these particles are not shed as rapidly as in robust youth. The longer they remain the more soiled or faded they become-thats the immediate cause of bad complexion"
 It has been discovered that ordinary mercolized wax, to be had at any drug store, will absorb these worn-out par ticles. The absorption, while hasten ing Natures work, goes on gradually enough to cause no inconvenience. In a. week or two the transformation js complete. The fresh, healthy-h -hued youthful underskin is then wholly in evidence. You who are not satisfied with your complexions should get an ounce of mercolized wax and try this treatment. Use the wax nightly, like cold cream, washing it off mornings.- Adv.

PLAYWRIGHT TO
 SPEAK AT SUNDAY EVENING CONCERT
Alfred H. Brown Will Ad- dress Audience Tomorrow
 at Seaside Park.

Through the patriotic spirit of the Bridgeport Musical union, co-operat- ing with the Bridgeport War Bureau, the people of Bridgeport will have opportunity to enjoy two more Sun day band concerts, one tomorrow evening at Seaside park by the Wheeler & Wilson band. These addi- tional concerts, which come after the regular season has closed, are made possible by the vote of the Musical union to allow the bands to play for this patriotic purpose for one-half the usual rate.
 The War Bureau considers the value of these concert-patriotic meet ings so great that it was Ioath to give them up when the season closed. For that reason it sought and obtained the cooperation of the Musical union. A splendid program will be played at ' o'clock and at o'clock Alfred H. Brown, playwright and author, will speak. He is an orator of more than usual ability, one of the field secretar- ies of the Red Cross. Two of his plays will be produced on Broadway dur ing the present season.
 On the following Sunday, Sept. IS, the Coast Military band will play and the speaker will be former Senator Theodore E. Burton of Ohio.
 At the band concert tomorrow Miss Esther Berg, the well known local soloist, will sing. There will also be continued the popular feature of com munity singing led by male chorus and directed by Alvin H. Breul. As at former concerts, all men who sing are invited to join the chorus on the band stand and assist

ACROSS THE WATERS
BY Odette Gastinel, Is year-old
French girl

It was little river - almost brook.
1t was called the User. One could talk
from one side to the other without raising
ones voice. The birds could fly over it
with one sweep Of their wings. And on its
banks there were millions of men, the
one turned toward the other, eye to eye.
But the difference which separated them
was greater than that between the stars
in the sky. 1t was the difference which
separates justice from injustice. The ocean
is SO great that the sea-gulls do not dare
to cross it. During seven days and seven
nights the great steamships of America,
going at full speed, must drive through
the deep waters before the lighthouses Of
France come into view. But from one
side to another hearts are touching.

Eligibility for appointment may be
obtained through passing an examina-

The Room Registration office states
that the usual charge for rooming

it is unusually necessary for two per-
