What To Do In
 A Tunder-StOr

If you are out of doors in a very
 severe electrical storm, it is well
 to observe the following rules for
 your own protection:
 l. Keep away from wire
 fences. They may carry a danger
 ous electrical charge long distances. Cattle in pastures are frequently
 killed through the neglect of farm
 CTS to ground the wire of the fence.
 2. Keep away from hedges, ponds and strea ms. 3. Keep away from isolated trees. Oak trees are frequently struck; beech are seldom struck. It is safe in q dense forest. 4. Keep away from herds of cattle and crowds of people. 5. Do not hold an umbrella over you.
 $. It is safer to sit or lie down In an open field than to stand. '. Drivers should dismount and not stay close to their horses. 8. Do not work with any large metal tool or implement. If you are indoors:- 1. Keep away from the stove
 and chimney. The hot gases from l the chimney may conduct the i lightning to and down the chim- | ley.
 ?. Do not take a position be- tween two bodies of metal, as the stove and waterpipe, for example.
 An exception to being near metals is the case of an iron bed One of the safest places is on mattress in an iron bed, provided you do not touch the metal. The metal sur
 rounding you makes a safe cage, which will prevent the lightning from reaching a person inside.
 3. Do not stand on a wet floor nor draw water from the well or faucet.
 4. Do not stand directly under
 a chandelier, near a radiator, nor on a register.
 5. Do not use the telephone in ! suburban districts. In cities there is practically no danger, as the wires are placed underground.

COMMUNITY SERVICE RECORD
 FOR A MONTH
289 Citizens Trained Work. CTS Aided in This
 Work.

Between July and August & Bridgeport Community Service has used 239 of the citizens of Bridge
 port, highly trained in story telling music, and social service. These volunteers have reached thousands of people during the month, and have aided substantially in making Bridge port the city of friendliness They have brought smiles and gladness into
 the poorer sections of the city, and
 have done much to turn anxieties
 anw worries into song and joy. Com munity Service has given 1,074 moth
 CTS and children of Bridgeport steamer trips across the Sound, in cluding luncheons and carfare. The social workers of the city testify to the immense value of Community
 Service in giving mothers and chill
 drea who have little opportunity for
 getting away during the hot weather
 these splendid ocean trips.
 Community Service, during this past month, has also been interested in the further development of local art and music, and through its service MT. John Adam Hugo. the well known composer, has produced for the people of Bridgeport two new songs--- a ne-
  Song, which will be heard for the first time at the forthcoming pageant to be given by the Community Service. Community Service aided the Art League and the Americanization Committee in exhibiting Ormo's fla nous paintings, The Tragedy of Brute Force," which Bridgeporters were able to see free of charge on Fairfield avenue, and which did much, not only to awaken interest in art but also in appreciation of what victory could mean to the American people.
 But the genius of the Community Service idea lies in its ability to help ! and enrich the existing organizations, and 1t is interesting to note that very
 substantial service has been given this
 past month to the following local or ganizations: The Americanization
 committee. City Hospital, Art League, Board of Health, Board of Charities,
 Board of Recreation. Visiting Nurses Association, St. Stephens Roman Catholic church, Associated Charities, ! Boy Scouts, Catholic Charitable Blu
 reau, Chamber of Commerce, Public Library, Dehydration committee, Home Economies committee.
 In this service the work of the Community Service has gone to the Fairgrounds, the streets and on the Sound, into the hospitals and clubs of the city.
 During the month the Community
 Service has begun a Bureau of Ser vice, and anyone wishing to do any l thing of service for Bridgeport,
 whether 1t be in music, in art, in drama, or u general service. can through the Bureau find a place where they can serve, This depart
 ment is already, beginning to be very
 popular. The { telephone rang and
 the Board of Recreation wanted | judges for doll contest. The Com
 munity Service had women volun.

 The sandwich, best eature of the picnic or quick lunch, derives its name from John Montague, fourth Earl of Sandwich, who took his title from Sandwich, a town in Kent, Eng land, meaning sandy town. Many stories are told of the earPs love for sports which often made him so late ro meals, or so hungry between meals that different hurry dishes had to be prepared for him. One day. af- ter vigorous outdoor exercise ,tradi- ton has 1t, he came in so hungry that a piece of meat and two slices of bread were sent up to him. A hap py thought occurred to the earl. He placed the meat between the slices and found the combination so much to his liking that ''sandwiches' came to be quite the thing in his house hold.

PARIS CLINCINC TO SKIRTS THAT ARE VERY SHORT Likely American Women Will Be Offered a
 Compromise. NOT BECAUSE
 ANKLES NOT O. K. Realize Extremely Short Skirts Are Apt To Be
 Ridiculed.

Paris, Friday, Aug 15.---Paris' first real display of styles since the war began is being attended by about 300 American buyers who, however. are showing themselves more independent of the dictates of French dressmakers than ever before.
 Brown, according to the new models is again in marked favor. Soft ma terials are used generally and hounces panniers and the design of the new models tend towards the strictly fem mine appearance. There is not the slightest suggestion of the masculine tailor-made effects of the past.
 Paris is clinging to skirts hanging seven to eight inches from the ground. American buyers, the dress makers say. are ridiculing the short ness of the gowns, although frankly admitting American skirts have been too long. It is said to be likely Amer iCan women wll be offered cOmprOm- ised lengths. One of the prominent American buyers said today that mo well formed woman looks well in a really long skirt and it cannot be graceful but he laughed at a dress makers suggestion that Americans want long skirts because American women do not have pretty ankles.
 American women have the pretti- est ankles and feet in the world" the buyer replied 'and they also are the best shod, but they realize that the extremely short skirts are ridiculed and they believe in moderation"
 Although the Americans designed their own styles to great extent dur ing the war they apparently are find ing much that is worth while in the Paris display rooms. Brown is shown in scores of various shades. There also are shown soft shades of gray, raven blue. tete-de-negre and moles.
