With his sermon this (Saturday) evening at the Central Baptist church Gypsy Smith, Jr., who. has been con- ducting union evangelisuc services un- der seven churches of ehe city, will fin- ish his second week here, having had average congregations of about 500 people on wd k nights to hear his pow erful sermons and congregations of over 1000 on two Sunday evenings
 Friday niGht at the church MT. Smith was heard in a searching sermon of peosonA appeal to the men and women whose names are on the church. rolls 10 render personal service an answer to the Masters command of Co ye into a1l the world"
 Mr. Smith took for his subject Fri day evening, the story Of the sick man who was carried by four of his friends to the Master, and let down through the roof. He said that the two outstanding notes of the gospel were Come unto Me-" and secondly, "Go ye into all the world" but it seems as if we had left the last command entirely to an ordinary clergy. think one. reason why great many of us do not 'go into the world" is be-
 cause we have no message to take. The majority of our church folks to- day, have only second hand knowl- edge of God and of Christ, and of his promises. They only know just what some preacher has taught them. They haven't a first hand experimental ! knowledge for themselves. can, know more Of the effect of water to ,quench my thirst by taking one drink, than | by reading on the subject of water | for years.

 The only difference betwcen a
 rut and a grave is--the grave is a little deper, that's all. The reason why the churchS of Jesus Christ is not advancing as rapidly as it ought is because of the indifferent, lukewarm crowd in the church; it's a wonder God does as well as He does with such rep resentativcs. The majority of our church folk today are moral but not spiritual; refined but not Godiy; ornamental but not useful.

O'Brien Has Plan for
 Racial Representation

In a soap-box speech last night. Alfred s. O'Brien, Socialist candidate Tor mayor, referred to the Snykow- ski appointment, and the resulting protest, as follows:
 Although Bridgeport is a cosno- poHtan city, and an attempt is made by Vote-hungry politicians to give representation to various national groups, the people of those groups are never represented.
 Every alleged representative of such a group is "hand-picked" and represents nobody but himself. Show me one man in the city government representing any foreign speaking group, who was chosen by his people oemocraucally, to represent them, It can't be done. There isn't any such.
 "Even the Jewish people have no voice in naming the men Of their race who receive recognition from the municipal gorernment. There are a few so-called representative and alleged leaders, but I defy any of them to show you their authority for representing anybody As for leadership, who, in heavens name do they lead, and where are they lead ing them?
 "As mayor of this city, no man alleging to represent any group of people would get any consideration from me until he had shown me that he had a right to represent then.''

dam was 27,0OO cubic yards. To work this concrete into shape six mixers, six towers with hoppers and buckets and 2,000 feet of chutes were placed in position as they were need ed. To feed the mixers 1S,000 bar rels of cement were kept in storage, and for one period six cars of cement were received daily.
 The labor problem was on large proportions. Early this year 800 men were being used daily on an average and there were night and day shifts. At the height of operations eight standard guage locomotives were at work on the tracks, and five narrow guage engines and 45 cars were serv- ing as feeders to the gangs. In me chanical equipment seven steam shovels, 19 derricks, and hoist en- zines, two drag line outfits and 35 pumps played a big part
 To care for the men on the job a village of buildings were put up, and a general dining room accommodat- ed 300 at one time. The directing force had it's own culinary equipment and accommodation. A doctor was always on hand and police force had an eye on the dam and opera tiOnS night and day.

 Among these advantages are emu mated packer control of 44.8 per cent. of all cold storage facilities, their refrigerator car service, nigh ly favorable rules,'' obtained by the packers for mixed carloads Of fresh meats and packing house products, and permitting them to include great variety of goods foreign to their slaughtering business with re sulting discriminations not alone in service, but also in rates"
