CONN. co. WANTS
 LOOP IN PLAZA
Asks For Permission to Operate Double Track
 Extension.
Monday. April [

Several matters of importance will come before the Board of Aldermen at the meeting to be held in the Com mon Council chambers at City Hall tonight, among them a petition from the Connecticut company relative to the proposed Plaza. It asks for per mission to construct, operate and maintain a double track extension on Water street from it's present tracks in Fairfield avenue and Stratford ave- nue to the eastern limit of the pro posed Plaza to a connection with the present tracks on Main street.
 While the company does not specify whether or not 1t intends to con- struct a loop linking the present lines on Fairfield avenue and on Main street, it is interpreted by Assistant City Clerk Robert Jones in that man. ner. It is believed that the petition will be referred to the Public Utili- ties Commission.
 The Connecticut company will also ask for permission to locate poles on Oak street from North avenue to George street and for permission to locate poles on East Main street from Stratford avenue to Ogden street.
 Other hearings that will come be fore the board tonight are petitions LOT lllS tOISII IIuNLlOn Ol a COHDD1nSO sewer in Morgan avenue: construc- tiOr of a sanitary sewer in Bancroft avenue from Park avenue easterly, and pr. Andrew McGlueeney. ct al, for the paving Of Anton street, Madf- son road and Chestnut Hill road.
 In view of the present financial con dition of the Connecticut Company and the criticism of it's operating methods and fare charge, it vii; be interesting to note what action the common council will finally take on it's petition to lay tracks on Water street
 Other matters of importance likely to come before the aldermen tonight is the new Port of Bridgeport, bill, which provides for referendum, an equal representation of Stratford and Bridgeport, and the doing away with the self-perpetuatin ting committee.
 It is doubtful if Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, or Clerk Alex. Robinson will be on hand tonight. A military ball in Danbury may claim their attention.

SIMS ARRIVAL!
 IS DELAYED Mauretania Held in Outer Harbor By the
 Fog.

New York, April 7.---v1ce Admiral William s. Sims arrival home from overseas was delayed this morning owing to a heavy fog which forced the Cunard line steamship Maureta- mia, bearing the American naval com mander as one of it's passengers to move slowly as it approached this port.
 Due at the Ambrose channel light ship at a. u., the Mauretania was still some miles out at sea at that hour and was not expected to reach the Hghtship until 10 o'clock.
 HarbOr officials said that unless the fog cleared away, the vessel might not be able to Giock until tomorrow. However, the plan was to transfer Admiral Sims and his staff at quar- antine to the L. s. $. Aramis whi ch would bring them ashore.
 From New York the admiral will go to Washington to take up temporary duties in the navy department before taking the position he requested--- president of the naval war college al Newport.

HETTY GREENS
 DAUGHTER SUED
To Appear in Superior Court Here to Defend
 "Spite Fence" Action.
Monday, April :

When Hetty Green was alive and held the title of Americas richest woman she was given lots of space on the front page because of various actions which seemed strange to peo- pie who didn't have much money. Her daughter Mrs. Sylvia Green Wilks of Greenwich, appears to have inherited some of this talent for pub licity and she will appear in the Sup erior court here soon to defend @ spite fence" suit brought against her by Katherine F. Price, her neighbor in Greenwich.
 It is said the trouble was caused by the antics of Mrs. Wilks' collie .dog Jack, who had a. habit Of scam pering from his own broad acres to the ad> joining Price estate. The daughter of Hetty Green didn't care to have her dog wandering on strangers property so she ordered a high wire fence built.
 l.. B. Price, wife of the woman who brought the present suit, was absent from Greenwich at the time but he instructed his lawyer to get an injunction restraining Mrs. Wilks from erecting the fence. When the Superior Court had issued the injunc- ton. however, the fence was built. Now the court Is asked to order Mrs. Wilks to remove the barrier and damages of S1,0OO are also sought.
 It is alleged by Mir. and Mrs. Price that a clause in the deeds to the property in that exclusive section of Greenwich prohibits the erection of any division fences other than hedges of reasonable height between the premises. Mrs. wilks claims the fence is not on the boundary line so it does not come within the meaning Of the prchibitive clause.

WAGE ADVANCE TO BROTHERHOODS
Order Will Probably Be Is sued Within Few
 Days.

Washington, April Wage ad- vances to be given members of the four leading trainmen's and engine brotherhoods were discussed finally today between Director General Hines and the chiefs of the brotherhoods, and the order probably will be issued within a few days.
 The order will readjust wages so as to restore most of the differentials be tween various classes of employees ex- isting before January l, 1915. These wage relationships were disrupted by the general wage increase granted last year. A few rates will be lower ed, it was said, but the general level will be raised.
 It was reported after the confer ence today that the brotherhood's ap- plcation for time and a half pay for overtime had not been granted. Neither the brotherhood chiefs nor Director General Hines would com ment on this point.

N q won't do 1t! !" Suzanne said VI very promptly.
 But you don't know what it A is," Nancy objected.
 Granted. But I haven't
 known you intimately from the age of five years and seven months without learning the implications of your voice. I repeat it: I-will-not --do-itr
 Nancy's pretty eyes darkened. "Oh, Suzanne dear, if you knew how much want it You just couldn't refuse me You couldn't! It would make me hap pier than anything I could think of"
 q suppose I can let you tell me-" said Suzanne relenting, although warn you that know you're just get ting round me- and I'd be much wiser to hold to my original position"
 "Nancy's face flashed into radiance. Nancy, happy, was always irresistible.
 You will be good and sweet and big and generous and let me have my way Oh, knew you would! It's about Christmas, Suzanne. You see, while your father has been piling up for tune my dear dad has been having hard times, and we are all having to be very careful. It isn't anything dreadful you know, so long as we have one another and the home; but there isn't much margin for extras. So can give only tiny little gift-it cost me exactly 49 cents in money and please, please, please, Suzanne, be good and do the same to mel You know it's you I love; not the lovely gifts you shower upon me. Christmas isn't money; it's loving.'
 Suzanne put her hands on Nancy's shoulders and looked down into the pleading eyes.
 q can use your argument, tOO," she answered. If Christmas is loving, not gifts-and you know I agree with all my heart-then why are you making It thing of even exchange in dollars and cents? Are you doing it for my sake?"
 "N-no," Nancy faltered. "Only-"
 "You know the money Is nothing to me-that the only joy can get from 1t is to use 1t to grant the little wishes that those I love have wished, or for things that I know they'd love even If they haven't actually wished them. Would you rob me of that, dear? Is it fair-when it's Christmas? If you hap pened to have the money instead of me, would you want to have the one joy of 1t taken from youT"
 For a long, long moment Nancy was silent. Then she looked up with a bright smile.
 q surrender, Suzanne" she said.
 It was an exquisite gift that shone up at her from the little white box Christmas morning-a pink tourma- line pendant set with pearls. Beneath was Suzanne's card:
 "I bought it long ago because it looked so like you, Nancy dear. But | 1t is you who are giving me the real gift-'the joy of sending you this" Nancy lifted it to the light. It was the loveliest thing she had ever had but the heart of the joy was that it meant joy to Suzanne, too.-Youths IS Companion.

CANADA To FLOAT
VICTORY LOAN To
SETTLE WAR BILLS
Dominion Government Will
Soon Appeal to the People for
the Sixth Time; $500, 000,-
900 To Be Asked For

tBf MOANING JoUkaAL tFEeiAL kfAsEb wlRsi
Montreal. Quebec, Sept 14,s-7Three
hundred million dollars is the mini
mum goal set by the Canadian govern
ment for its Forthcoming sixth Victory
loan The bonds are to be in denom-
nations of $50, $500. $500 and $1,000
at par of five and fifteen year maturi-
ties, bearing an interest rate of v
per cent. All bonds will be taxable.
The appointment of Percy p. Cowaris
to the chairmanship of the Victory
loan organization for the Island of
Montreal makes it apparent the cans
paign will be carried out along the
same lines as previous ones, with
every unit of the loan Organization in
use.
For a time it was felt in profess
sional circles that the loan would have
to be sold on a straight business basis,
in the same manner that provincial
and large municipal issues are placed
through banks and bond houses. All
doubt as to the details of selling the
bonds has been cleared up with the
governments decision that the finance
ing of Canada's war and after war
expenditures is still a public duty,
not merely matter of selling bonds
TO TcSuiUE DOnu buyers. Last year
during the fifth loan, Canadian people
over a million strong subscribed $780,
100000 when only $500. 100000 was
asked This fact IS pointed out as
making a success of the present loan
absolutely certain.
Althouh the government is asking
$500, 600 900 for the coming loan, the
selling forces of the loan organiza-
will 10 gaf nhinnffxyp
al much higher notch, The govern
ment will probably need 100000 900
to facilitate the European credit that
has so far kept Canadian industries
running, and to pay its account with
the United States to reduce the high
premium on New York funds which
is proving such an expensive luxury.
Since November, 1915, the dominion
government has asked the Canadian
people for $3.50, 10000 in five sep
arate loans, and has taken $1,34S,000,
600 of $1.6S0.000,0 900 offered by the
public, This means that the govern,
ment has returned to the people
$685., 900, 600, or actually more than
what it is asking for the present loan.
This amount should all be available
when the time comes.
The first three loans were handled
entirely by banks on small commits
sion basis. During the last two loans
the sales were in the hands Of COM
mittee which regulated the prices and
presepfeds corners The committee
maintained supervision over the bonds
of the fourth loan. which was for
$500, 900, 600, fora long time. N order
to maintain a steady price. on the
fifth loan however, which ran uD to
100000, 600, committee action was
only necessary for about two months,
when the bonds maintained a steady
rise and supervision was no longer
needed.

Glass of Hot Water
Before Breakfast
a Splendid Habit
Open sluices Of the system each
morning and wash away the
poisonous, stagnant matter.

Those of un who are accustomed to
feel dull and heavy when we arise;
splitting headache, stuffy from a cold,
foul tongue, nasty breath, acid
stomach, lame back, can, instead,
both look and feel as fresh as daisy
always by washing the poisons and
toxins from the body with phosphated
hot water each morning.
We should drink. before breakfast,

it to flush from the stomach, liver,
kidneys and ten yards of bowels the
previous days indigestible waste, sour
bile and poisonous toxins; thus cleans
ing, sweetening and purifying the
entire alimentary tract before putting
more food into the stomach.
The action of limestone phosphate
and hot water on an empty stomach
is wonderfully invigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour fermentations, gases,
waste and aeidity and gives one a
splendid appetite for breakfast and
1t is said 80 be but little while until
the roses begin to appear in the
cheeks. A quarter pound of limestone
phosphate will cost very little at the
drug store, but 1t is sufficient to make
anyone who is bothered with bilious
ness. constipation. stomach trouble or
rheumatism q real enthusiast on the
