Why Do French Women
 Always Look Young?

In france mothers and daughters look like sisters. How are the women there able to retain their youthful looks until long past middle age? Is it because they are much given to the use of mercolized wax? This wax pos- sesses a remarkable absorbent prop erty which quickly removes the fine particles of cuticle which are con stantly dying and which are the inn mediate cause of an oldlooking com plexion. Thus the livelier, healthier, younger skin beneath is given a chance to breathe and to show itself. Try this treatment yourself. Most likely it will not require two weeks to make your complexion as clear. soft and beautiful as a young girls. Just one ounce of mercolized wax Gall American druggists have it), usually does the work. The, wax is put on nights like cold cream and washed off mornIng gs-Adv.

Several Halloween parties and so- oration of this day. Tomorrow even ing an aIl-church social by the Ply
 mouth parishioners will be held at the home of MT. and Mrs. W. F. Tib- balls in West Park Place. This will be one of the fashioned variety with plenty of fun and refreshmnets.

 On Monday night Blakes1ee & Son
 left a steam shovel, which was en route from Bridgeport to New Ha- ven, by the side of the road at Home
 Acres in charge Of a watchInan. The
 man failed to display necessary warn ing lights, and, Arthur Cornwall of West Haven, travelling by, ran into the shovel, damaging his car severely, and only escaping serious injury by the bet of fortune. The contractors were notified to send another man to guard the shovel, and the one who
 had failed in that duty was arrested and was later released under a $50
 bond furnished by his employers. MT
 Cornwall suffered a sprained wrist.
 MT Freeman of Elton street has so far recovered from his serious illness that has confined him for a number
 of weeks as to be able to return to his duties at the Bridgeport freight

 Just what effect the proposed zone system effective Sunday, Nov. ? is going to have on the development of shore real estate is rather hard to de- termine at this time. but it is safe to say that with a good and reliable jit- ney service maintained from the shore to Bridgeport with a reasona- ble rate charged for transportation, residents of Walnut Beach and the nearby resorts, especially the real es- tate men, are not viewing the situa- ton with great alarm, but on the other hand are optimistic over the present tendency of the realty market.
 Withs the completion of the per- manent highway from Devon to Wal nut Beach, an unprecedented boom in real estate business is expected to fol- low, and already evidences of this is seen at the Four Corners, halfway between the shore and Devon, where l MT Doherty already has a number of houses under construction, with | many more contemplated.

and that very little Of the speculative
buying that usually appears after de-
cline was in evidence. The usual short
covering was in evidence, however, a
large bit Of profit taking on the short
side appearing as the result OF the de-
cline Of Wednesday. As regards the
selling side II was reported that there
was very little liquidation o. any I'M
portant holdings OF stock and that when
ever a selling movement appeared IN the
market 1t was fostered always By heavy
operations OF n highly speculative char
acter. One trader reported that the
ranks of the bear element which has
been operating to drive tire price Of
Steel downward since the announcement
Of the dividend cut, were somewhat en-
