Daisy is a living example OF what
can be achieved by the law of kind
ness. Nine years ago nobody wanted
her and she was condemned to be
shot. Then John ]. Bergh came
along. For $50 and an old horse he
secured possession. and you should
see her now, and the medals-some
of them gold-that have been awarded
her in the annual workhorse parade.
Daisy dotes on her master and will
do anything he tells her to. II he
asks her how old she is she never
hesitates. bat unblushingly paws 1t
OF on the pavement She shakes
hands 81 with every one OF her four
feet. and il he puts lump OF sugar
between his teeth and tells Daisy Just
to suck it she will lap 1t carefully and
does not think of trying for the
whole lump until he gives the word
She picks her bit up from the ground
and does other remarkable things.
and she did them all for the War
Savings Organization, just to show
what she could do and what she was
glad to do to help the good work
along.
Daisy is now a regularly accepted
member of the Savings Division and,
whether you recognize her or not as
she goes about frequently carrying
great boxes Of literature for the War
Savings Committee. you may be sure
that she is on the Job and doing
everything she knows how to promote
the sale of Thrift and War Savings
Stamps among the people.

 TRYING TO SOLVE DANSEY MYSTERY

: Hammonton. N. J., Nov. 22-At- lantic County auth critics were work ing today to clear up the mystery surrounding tho death of 3 year old
 Billy Dansey, whose nude body was found yesterday at the edge of a swamp, two miles from here, by a hunter. The lad had been missing since October s, when he disappear ed from his home on the outskirts of Hammonton and a nationwide search had been conducted for him. Long exposure made Identification of the body impossible but the child's fath- CT identified the clothing, which was found scattered over a radius of fifty feet, as that worn by the little fel- low on the day of his disappearance
 The discovery was made by George Eckhardt a neighbor of the Danseys
 Edmund c. Gaskill, Jr., prosecutor of Atlantic county, Coroner Cunning ham and other officials expressed the belief that the child was lured to the swamp and attacked by a degen- crate. After a thorough examination of the body, the coroner said that he had found no bones broken, but that he believed the body had been strangled to death. Virtually the entire detective force of the county was put to work on the case today

EXPERTS SAY U, S, HOUSES
 ARE MODELS

The houses built by the U. S. Housing Corporation in this city are considered as models of what a, mod crate priced comfortable home should be by the most famous experts in the country.
 They were built during the war when rents were scarce and 1t was necessary to furnish housing for the large increase in population occa- stoned by intuition workers Hooking to this city.
 They are not cheap houses. The government is selling them cheap, but they are built of the best ma terial that was obtainable, were plan ned by the foremost architects in the country. During the course of their construction, every bit of ma teriaI used in their construction had to pass the tests of the government s inspectors, while other inspectors saw to it that they were built strict ly according to plans and specified tions
 When the armistice was signed none of the houses had been complet- ed but during the summer U. s. Hous- ing Corporation continued the work and they today are some of the show places of the city.
 SNiANN Mill Green were placed on the market for sale last Monday by Harry A. Burnes, who has been appointed sales agent for both plots, under the direction of Edward J. Murphy, who has been delegated by the governme ent officials to dispose of the properties :. in this city.
 "A low selling price has been placed on each house and no variation will be made in that price," said MT. Murphy, yesterday. 'I believe that any one who purchases a house in either Grassmere or Old Mill Green, will be able, if he so desires, to sell the house within two years at an in- crease of s1,50o. You must under stand that these houses are of brick. with all conveniences and up-to-date construction.'' They will last four times as long as the frame houses that are so common in Bridgeport and are sold for less than a frame house of the same size could be built"

AUTO TRAFFIC HEAVY

Automobile traffic bound for the Yale-Harvard game in Cambridge to- day was fairly heavy in Bridgeport last night.

Regular and special trains which passed through Bridgeport last night were crowded with football fans who will witness the annual gridiron classic this afternoon.

REPAIR IN REST

Everybody of course, realizes that
sleep is as necessary in the mainten-
ance of health as are food ana water.
And yet it seems to me that a large
proportion of parents are more care
less about seeing &c it that their chill
dren get full amount of sleep than
they are that they get stomach full
or food.
In open air school and nutrition
clinic children, 1t has often been found
that putting bedtime an hour earlier
or requiring the child 10 lie down for
an hour in the mid-asternoon for a
fresh nap will joggle the scale upward
after quantities of milk and food have
failed to do the trick. In tuberculosis
sanatoria the rest period, forenoon
and afternoon, is recognized as being
as essential in the cure as any other
facility the sanatoria provide.
Now, if rest hours will help tre-
mendously to cure victims of this
stubborn and deadly disease, isn't it
perfectly obvious that rest hours will
help tremendously toward putting a
physically backward child into norm
al health and state of good resist
ance to disease? 1t takes bit of
struggle at first to make tired child
take more rest. The more tired he is,
short of actual exhaustion, the more
he will struggle. But what kind of
parent is it, who, realizing. the truth
stated above, will not fight, if neces-
sary, to save his child's health and
resistance
