The Boys Fife and Drum corps had a glorious time at Savin Rock Saturday when they participated in the Victory Field Day of the Drum Corps of New England which was held there under the auspices of the Lancraft Drum Corps of New Haven. They brought home no prizes, but would undoubtedly have done so had any been offered for the junior corps. They presented a very fine appear ance during the parade and were
 much applauded for the excellent
 music by the experts at the meet. They were acting under the lead ership of Harold Baldwin formerly of the Grenadier Drum corps of Mil | ford who himself Is a holder of many prizes which he won In state cham l pionship contests for drumming and also holds g. championship for ftf- l ing. The boys were all tired but hap py after their days experience. No one was serously injured in the large Studebaker touring car which | was wrecked on the State road near the reservoir Saturday afternoon al- | though two of the occupants were cut with the breaking glass when the car overturned by striking the tele- graph pole. The car was owned and driven by Alex Bost1er of 300 Hal1ett street, Bridgeport. No arrests were made, and the car Is now in a Mil ford garage.
 | A Bridgeport man who is a summ CT iresident of Wildemere Beach and who
 owns a large tract of land there has

 The beach Is half way between Laurel and Walnut beaches.
 | The new trolley schedule 1naugur- ated by the Connecticut Company Is a great relief to the residents of Devon and the shore resorts While 1 there are not many new Devon cars
 the running of cars on a new head | way of seven and a half minutes to the shore resorts will, or ought to stop the crush on the Devon cars.

THE ATTACK ON MARRIAGE.

Is marriage a failure? The constant stream of disillusioned petitioners in the divorce courts seem to think so. A host of writers of problem plays and novels. and so-called advanced social thinkers. who can't think of any social subject but marital infelicity seem to think so.
 This question goes to the heart of modern socfal organization and should Dc frankly and fearless1y discussed.

CLOTHING COLLECTION

With millions of men, women and
children refugees in European coun-
tries in sorest need of clothing of any
kind the American Red Cross has set
the week of March 24-31 for a ma
tion-wide collection of used clothing
shoes and blankets for these helpless

from abroad shows Enthusiastically
that the clothing problem faced by
those returning to their devastated
homes is one of the most serious
they have to face and it is equally
clear that it is to America the suf-
fering must turn.
The collection of cast-off clothing,
which will be conducted by the thous-
ands of Red Cross chapters scattered
through the States has been timed
to the season when millions of A
mericans are changing from winter
clothing to light, most of that laid
aside being garments they will never

SOLDIERS AND SAILORS MON
UMENT

MANNINGTON, W. Va, March
The building of monuments to COM
memorate the services of soldiers
and sailors in the great war is oc-
cupying the attention of leading cit
liens in various communities of
West Virginia to judge by the mail
that comes to the Stewart Granite
works which has many inquiries in
this connection. There is activity in
almost every county in the state of
some sort of another and it appears
to be the concensus of opinion, so
these letters of inquiry say, that
monuments make the most satisfac-
tory memorials when all is said.
The main objection to erecting pub
lie buildings is that they soon take
upon themselves a suggestion of their
purpose and lose the memorial value
that is the effort of West Virginia
to emphasize at this time The pur-
pose of all committees is to pay trih-
ute to soldiers and sailors and the
only way that this can be done seems
to be by the erection of monuments
with no other purpose unless there
there is drinking fountain attach
ed.
The fathers Of soldiers who are
serving on committees seem to be
practically unit in favor of the
monument idea Of keeping the mem
DRY Of the soldiers and sailors
stamped in modern life.

THE HEALTH OF RETURNING
SOLDIERS.

Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of
the United States Public Health Ser
vice has ordered that extraordinary
precautions be taken and great infiu-
ence exercised in order that exotic
epidemic diseases may not be car
ried into this country with disastrous
results by the returning soldiers.
Among diseases especially to be
feared are cholera, typus plague and
veneral diseases.
Officers of the Public Health Service
trained in quarantine procedure
either have been sent to various ports
in Europe or will be sent as the oc-
casion may arise. 1t is expected that
compliance with the quarantine reg
ulation will be effected by the CO.
operation of the. United States mil
itary authorities in the examin-
nation, delousing and disinfection,
when necessary of the troops prior
to embarkation.
The recently created division of
Veneral Diseases has already, with
the cooperation of the Commission on
Training Camp Activities and local
State Boards of Health, established
headquarters and provide regula-
tons to prevent the spread Of these
diseases in the States.

President Wilson with enhanced
world wide prestige, becomes big
factor in the next campaign. There
is already much anxiety to know
W neither he wishes to succeed him
self or not and whethers or not he
has any preference among possible
candidates. The Republicans are
canvassing their own presidential
timber but the Democrats mark time
awaiting a statement from the pres
ident. There is some talk of William
Gibbs McAdoo, son-in-law of the
president, but he is too frank in
showing his purpose of government
to suit many people with much to
say. Had Roosevelt lived he would
more than likely have been the Re-
publican candidate and in that event
the Democrats would have had to
schedule President Wilson to stand
for another term and Wilson might
have done it for he cares little for
precedent

And most Of that which is not true

as incompetent. But on top of this
he was elected Republican national
