 MT. Houghton left New York Apr I 3, 1918. On the 30th of that san month he was in a front line trench under the German guns on Mt. Sec. For nearly three months he was with the famous Yankee Division (26th) in the Toui sector as a Y. M. C. A. sec retary, stationed at Mandres, at one end of Dead Mans Curve" less than a mile from the trenches. He made frequent trips to the trenches, carry ing chocolates cigarettes, cookies, etc., to the men. One afternoon he went with a lieutenant through No Mans Llnd to within 200 yards of the Ger man lines. He travelled with the di- vision to the Chauteau-T -Thierry sector and followed the men through the great six days battle, sharing much of the hardships and dangers. The lecture is a vivid picture of the daily life of the soldiers in the trenches and g. thrilling account of the great battle in which cur men rushed ac. osS wheat fields swept by machine gun fire, putting the Prussian guard on the run for ten miles, in the begin ming of the big push which resulted lin final victory.
 The lecturer will show many most interesting pictures of trenches, No Mans Land, Dead Mans Curve, sol diers getting lemonade, an American cemetery in France, General Edwards land General Passaga decorating our troops, and of individual heroes.

The Irregular Males.

Oliver Iselin, on leave in Tuxedo, was praising the American girls en- gagged in war work overseas.
 And they're good girls" he said, better girls, believe, than our coun- try ever turned out before.
 'They're certainly better than the old ladies, male and female, who spy on them on the pretense of looking after their morals.
 "One of these old ladies, an elderly New York broker, was talking to a canteen girl in Paris.
 "'Yes,' the girl said, T adore my work. The only thing complain of is the irregularity of the mails
 "The old broker heaved a sigh and tried to take the girls hand, but she drew it away.
 "'Ah, yes,' he said. The males were irregular, too, in my young days. As we used to put it-Never trust fe- male too far nor male too near.'"

PIPE ORGAN FOR
 BIG AUDITORIUM
Many Other Suggestions Received by Committee
 on Plan and Scope,

Suggestions for additional features 10 the Memorial building are being received in answer to questionnaires sent out by the Chamber of Com merce committee on Plan and Scope. Among the most practical are pipe organ on which concerts may be given free to the public, exhibits of goods made in Bridgeport" a picture gal Iery containing paintings of military events of the United States, a gymna sium for the public, rooms for busi- ness women to spend their leisure hours, a lodge room for the returned soldiers and sailors, and the Issuance to them of life long memberships, class rooms for Americanization classes of foreigners, a banquet hall, a museum, rooms for war relics, pub lie baths, and a social center in which the people of Bridgeport may be fur nished with winter recreation. It was pointed out by several of those send ing replies that while plenty of forms and places of recreation are provided for Bridgeporters in the summer months by the parks and neighboring beaches, that practically no place or method of amusement is provided during the winter months.
 All suggestions will be considered at the meeting which will be held to- morrow evening at the High school auditorium under the auspices of the Plan and Scope committee and the Municiple conittee. The joint com mittees are endeavoring to interest the public in the scheme and hope to decide on the type of memorial which will be most acceptable to the ma jority.

IN ABE MARTINS COUNTRY
World Do Move" but In Decid- edly Leisurely Manner.

All Brown county seemed to be wait ing for us when late we reached the picnic grounds" Abe Martin types hung round the roadway to the grove. Ginger pop, orange cider, ice cream cones were disappearing down warm and thirsty throats All through the grove there were grateful voices talk ing gently of the saving of the corn crop by the rains. Coats and collars were not as numerous as on Fifth ave nue, but kind hearts and friendly visit ing and exchange of condolences were as evident as anywhere in all the world. Veterans of '61 were linking up their war with this, and one elab orately whiskered farmer earnestly confided to me: q fought four years to make good Lincoln's word, and I guess our boys today will stand by Woodrow"
 Honest, homely, shrewd and wise, they talked Abe Martins language:
 ''It's nice t live in a little town where you don't have t give somebud- ly a dime to hold your overcoat"
 "A kicker is nearly alters wrong"
 '.A sympathizer is feller that's fer you as long as 1t don't cost SIything."

RIFLE COOKED
 KILLED SMITH

The testimony of Ernest Birsch, the 13 year old boy in whose hands a rifle was accidentally discharged and killed Stephen LeRoy Smith, age 21, at the home of Deputy Judge Frank E. Blakeman of Stratford, was heard this morning before Coroner John J. Phelan.
 The boy stated that he and Smith had been shooting at a target from a window of the house the evening be- fore; that he hurried home from school Thursday afternoon to engage in the same sport. After reaching the house he went to his own bed room, obtained his rife and carried 1t to Smiths room where he found Smith sitting on the bed. The boy entering the room, asked, Going to shoot tonight7" With this question the rife discharged itself and the ball entered Smiths right lung.
 Young Birsch, after realizing that Smith was shot, hurried down stairs and informed Judge Blakeman of what had happened.
 Judge Blakeman next testified that after Ernest had hurrIedly informed him Of what happened, eXc1a1ming, Steve is shot; it's my fault" a doc tor was sent for and steps were taken to discover the seriousness of the wound. The judge proceeded up- stairs and found Smith lying on his back in the middle of the room. Blood was flowing from the wounded mans mouth and nose. Lifting Smiths head the judge removed the blood from the face but the bleeding continued profusely.
 Upon the arrival of the physician and an ambulance Smith was remov- ed to the Bridgeport hospital where he died during the night. An au- topsy was held yesterday morning by Dr. GarIiok and 1t was discovered that the bullet which caused the death entered the right lung and after con- siderable probing it was found em- bedded in the back close to the shoul- der.
 Other testimony will be heard in the case this afternoon.

ATHLETE IS NOW HANDICAPPED
ton to Sports and Games Was Time We'll Spent.

Much was said before the war In devoted himself to athletics, remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal, His early death was prophesied by the easy-going slug of fellow who took his exercise with his right elbow and his recreation at bar and caravansary. Whenever an athlete died his mus cular development was set down as the cause of his untimely end.
 It has been made plain by the war that the athletic youth is the prefer able youth to fight the enemy. It never was proved that he was less able than others to fight life's battles in the fgurative sense of the phrase. or that he died sooner than the round- paunched, soft-armed, fiabby-legged man.
 In the army and in the navy athlet- ic sports and games are encouraged, promoted, valued. Swimming, tennis, boxing, rowing, football, are regarded as being worth more than the time that is devoted to them. Aviators who are supple and well set up, as we'll as young and courageous, are the most promising candidates. It has been found that the Tight hands, of the man who has ridden to hounds ara as valuable in manipulating an air plane as they are in taking spirited horse over the hunting fields and over fences. Physical training of every sort is a good asset for the young man, and how much more easily the candi- date who Is forty or beyond has fitted himself for military service If he has kept up since college days the habit of exercise and out-of-door life.

PreserYe the Trees.

Probably the most highly prized tree in the world Is the avocado pear tree In California, which returns an annual income of $3,000, and was once insured for $30,OOO. As to trees in general, immediate money returns su- persede in most minds, sentiment or natural beauty. A Landscape robbery" which caused the robbers" no con- punctions, was the cutting of splen- did yellow poplar which for several generations had been a landmark among the Cumberland hI1ls- The for est monarch, yielded over 1000 feet of frst-class lumber, valued at $11- GOO. There was 10 one to cry Wood man, spare that tree!" whose protest counted against its destruction. The countryside has lost a natural beauty never to be restored; the owner has money in his pocket.
