MAY LEARN
 MILLINERY AT FOOD HUT
$ p l e II d i d Demonstration Lessons to Prove of Great
 Value to Women of City.

On Wednesday and Thursday of this week at 2:30 D. m., there will be demonstrations at the Food Hut on State street.
 On Wednesday, Miss Gladys B. Green will give a millinery demon- stration. Many women have already availed themselves of the opportunity of finding out some of the secrets of hat making and others are anxi- ous to learn. Although early for fall hats, it is not too early to learn some of the fine points in home millinery Preparedness makes it practical to learn now and put the knowledge gained into practice later. Miss Green will show how to make a hat out of crinoline, frame wire and cov- wool materials and even the cotton flannels in the dark shades would be excellent in developing this hat.
 Miss Green will show how to design a buckram frame on which the lare- CT hats are made. and the covering of the frame will form part of the dem onstration. Trimmings will be dis cussed and the possibilities of made at-home trimming will be shown
 On Thursday there will be a can ming demonstration. Summer squash also demonstrate the canning of blue berries without sugar.
 The women of Bridgeport and vi cinity are cordially invited to attend these meetings.

Birthday Bio-Briefs Famous Women
ANNETJE JANIS.

The most valuable plot on the round earth is Trinity Church, and its church, at the head of Wall street, New York. It was Annette Jams farm in the early 11th century. Around this site lawsuits of two centuries have ragged, and claimants and heirs have spent fruitless fortunes Annette Jans came to New Amsterdam" from Hol- land in 1880, with her husband. She was a splendid type of the sturdy, capable Dutch woman, and had re- ccivcd in Holland the same education as men. After five years of farming success up the Hudson. the Governor of New York gave her husband one of the eight farms on Manhattan Is land, then a colony of 200 TUT rraC- CTS. After her husbands death, Ann etje Jans made sure of her title to this property. In 1854 the Governor confirmed the grant of land. She died in 1863, leaving the farm to her heirs. But when Trinity Corporation was in corporated at the end of the 17th century, the English governor gave to the Corporation a lease of Annette Jan's farm for seven years. In 1705 Queen Anne granted Annette Jan s farm in perpetuity.

NEW STYLE AMONG TOPCOATS.

It is interesting. to see how top- coats differ, not so much in si1houet- te, for they too are straight of line but in the manner of body full ness.
 Some are quite ample while others cling so tightly as to be mistaken for 8 tailored dress. One of these buttons from neck to below waistline in close formation, has side and cen ter back panels of nutria, a tucked front and Is sa shed in back
 A rust color duvetyn what they call the aeroplane coat, on the other hand, is voluminous at the sides with its tightly cuffed wrists of rac- coon a. circular yoke reaching over the shoulders.
 Satin and velvet topcoats are also shown; Jap mink is used for the high collar and center back panel on a black velvet number which has self sash in front and unbelted back. Heavy floss stitching in black also enhances this coat.
 Flying squirrel is the chosen pelt to adorn a black satin and is used For the generous collar and cuffs.

SHOE FACTS
(By a Local SaIeSman)

The perpleNng shoe problem may be materially lessened by the wearers Of women's low shoes. If oxfords and pumps be worn, to the comparative exclusion of high cut boots, until cold weather intervenes, prices will the sooner conform to normal standard.
 Low cut shoes can be bought at the spring prices, which are decid- edly less than prices that will of ne- cessfty be paid the manufac cturers for high shoes for the coming sea- son.
 By the general wearing of low shoes until late, the supply of high shoes now in process of manufac cture, will be rendered sufficient for the winter demand; in consequence, ad- ditional advance in price will be made less feasible. It will prove profitab ble in the end, to cling to the low shoes until forced by the weather to re- sort to high cuts

 Recreation features included con- munity singing by Alvin c. Breul, in which the entire gathering Joined. Ed. Luthey's orchestra furnished the appropriate music for the dancing on the large playgrounds. The story telling by Miss Lillian Whiting was delight to little folks and to the adults as well who listened with eagerness and youthful expectation. Miss Hazel Hayman and Miss Helen Clark of the Board of Recreation ar ranged the storytelling part of the program.

USE OF VESTS.

Vests are shown in some of the models. A copy of a French model which has a vest and trimmings of velvet has an odd effect in the back which gives the appearance of a 12- inch cuff buttoned onto the regular back panel of the coat just below the belt, which Is of suede piped with velvet.
 Some embroidery is shown on one or two models but comparatively lit tie is seen in the line as a whole.
 One suit has a throw collar com bined with a. turnover collar in such n way that 1t can be worn as a stock or just hanging loose.
 The majority of the skirts are plain and in one or two instances they may be buttoned over at the bottom to give a narrow banded effect
 All shades of brown and brown ish taupes predominate throughout the line.

LETTUCE GROWN
ON FIELD SCALE

Lettuce is being grown on field
scale in the Imperial and Salt River
Valleys Of California, fields of from 30
to 40 acres being not extraordinary.
At the height Of the production sea-
son--January and February-it is not
uncommon for rs carloads Of lettuce a
day to be shipped to the middle west
ern and eastern markets. This let
tuce, grown under irrigation, is pro-
duced by hand labor and is of extra
fine quality. The industry was de-
veloped on commercial basis about
three years ago and during the last
two years has been one Of the leading
agricultural occupations of the State.
These localities also produce carrots,
peas, caulifower, and table beans on a
less extensive scale.

BALOPTICON ENTERTAINMENTS
DO you think Mr.. Walter r. Hard is
inimitable! And what Of the pictures
he showed you last night! 1t was I'M
fortunate that an accident should have
led to the disappointment in music as
advertised, but the substitutions were
greatly enjoyed and the musical pro-
gram was not too long to leave ample
time for the pictures.
Next week we have a treat in store
for the people Of the town, for Mrs.
Clarence Gilchrist Of Arlington, has
kindly consented to attend and read us
some Of the poems Of John Masefield.
Authorities consider John Masefield
the greatest living poet that uses the
English language" while Of the many
readers on the platform Mrs. Gilchrist
is pronounced among the very best.
You will not want TO miss this treat.
The trio and quartet we expected last
week will appear this time.
Miss Sarah Cleghorn. who has an
exceptional knowledge of Masefield and
his work. assures US that Masefeld's
poems are dramatic. thrilling, and at
the same time realistic. He has had a
varied experience in life. For two
years he was sailor; under stress of
necessity he was for short time a
bartender's helper in New York city;
for time he herded cattle in Argen-
tina. In the early years of the war he
refused to enlist, but went later to the
Dardenelles as medical attendent. and
later became soldier. From all these
varied experiences he secured material
for his poems, his two novels, and his
two war books. Here is the program
for May 21st:

COMMUNITY SINGING

Next Sunday evening at the M. E.
Church at 1880 o'clock. Everybody
come and help decide what we shall do
in the future as a vote will be taken.
These are the questions TO decide:
Shall we continue the present lead
ership at a cost of $500 each time ? II
so, how shall the money be secured?
Shall we continue under non-profes-
sional leadership, the community sing
ing committee to select the leader
from among chose who have had a
good degree Of training but have no
dipoma or professional standing?
Or shall be discontinue the enter
prise?
Its popularity would seem to indi-
cate that the latter proposition will be
defeated.
Let us know your wishes. Speak
now or else forever after hold your
peace.

DID YOU EVER GET MIRED?

A resourceful motorist whose car
has been stuck in the mud does not
always have to fall back on pair of
mules to get free. For such an emer-
gency the United States lire Com
pany offers some suggestions that
have proved valuable.
The first calls for having stored
away somewhere in the car stack of
old newspapers. When the car gets
stuck and the wheels refuse to take
hold, feed in some of the old papers
between the tires and the mud.
Usually only few will have to be
worked in before the wheels will begin
to grip and the car start forward.
This method Of handling a difficult sit
uation is so simple and so uniformly
successful, that every motorist should
know Of it and carry pile of old
newspapers, unless he is equipped
with some other apparatus for such
a contingency.
Here is the other method suggested
by the United States Tire Company:
Put the car in low, and il you cannot
feed the gas with your foot evenly.
so that the wheels will revolve slowly,
put your emergency brake on. Do pot
put it on so that the wheels will not
revolve at all, but tightly enough to
keep them from revolving rapidly
With the wheels turning slowly, the
maximum pull il delivered to them by
having the car In low gear, and so
long rs they turn slowly they can get
the benefit of the tremendous power.
II is not always wise TO fill the hole
with stones or bricks, for their rough /
edges are hard on tires. Small !
ranches Of trees are better. as they
offer much better tractiyc space.
Should this method fail, quite often a
