HERRING FISHERS DO WELL
Splendid Catches and High Prices Have Been the Rule Among Them
 for Many Years Now.

The herring fisher works always on the night shift, not because the fish feed at night-herring take no known bait-but because they can be seen at night.
 Taking their cue from the whale or seagull as to the location of the her ring, the boats go off two by two (for they work always in couples) late in the evening to the fishing ground. Ar rived there, they stop their motors, md gliding silently over the dark wa ters they look for the fish.
 One of the men bumps the anchor two or three times on the bow of the boat, and instantly a patch of water lights up with bright phosphorescent gleam. It Is the herring, and the ring net (noW more generally used in the west of Scotland than the drtftnet) is lowered. It Is held up by corks and has a small light at one end. This the partner boat picks up; they circle around the herring until the two boats come together, when most of the men climb into one boat, where they draw the net, with the herring, on board.
 In this little Highland village the men of the last two generations have done well with the fishing. Tl.eir boats, complete with nets and motor, cost between 8300 and f4O0, but only the other night couple of boats, own ed by brothers divided f75O between them for one nights catch.-London Mail.

POLICE WANT
 MORE THAN
 HALF MILLION
Can't Get Along With Less. Declares Pres. Stanley,
 Head of Department.

Police Commissioner John c. Stan ley, Superintendent of Charities An gus P. Thorne, Tax Commissioner Ar thur F. Connor, Judge Frederic A Bartlett and Dr. Walter H. Brown were among those who appeared be- fore the Board of ApportionHnent and Taxation at the third hearing of the year held in the common council chambers at City Hall last night
 Commissioner Stanley said that the $524,00S.A asked in the police depart ment requisition this year was neces- sary in view of the fact that the po- licemen have been granted a 25 per cent. increase by the Board of Alder men. MT. Stanley also urged that the $250 increase for the physician and hospital account be granted in view of the number of men injured. He was asked if this was not covered by compensation and replied in the neg ative. saying the compensation com missioner had ruled the employees of the city were not to be given compen- sation. $15,0O0 is asked for the re- modelling of police headquarters on F'airfieId avenue. Mr. Stanley admit ted it was possible to get along with out that amount but said the depart ment would be at a disadvantage.
 The charities department bIames the increase in this years requisition on he high price of food and increased salaries of nurses. Physicians are also seeking an increase in pay. The charities departments increase will amount to $3,6o9
 Judge Bartlett in asking for $4, ,00O instead of 5000 for running expenses Of the city court said it was planned i to employ stenographer as soon as the court building was remodeled and he wanted this money for salary.

COMFORT BAGS PLEASE ALL
Nothing Given Out by the Red Cross Is More Appreciated by the
 Soldiers on Service,

The following Is an extract from a letter of Red Cross hospital repre- sentative:
 "The men like the comfort kits bet ter than anything the Red Cross gives them. We have asked dozens of them what they like best of all that is given them-tobacco, magazines, amusa- ments, etc.-and they all say at once the comfort kits and toilet articles. They come fin from the front without even toothbrush, and when I send the bags around by the other patients, they come back and say: Say, you oughter see how pleased those guys were-they said 1t was just like Christ mas. They were all sitting up in bed looking at the things in their bags
 "The other day one man who had lost his right hand, called me over to him and said: Here, I'll donate my sewing-kit. My wife has got to do mine after this. Pm out of 1t. Yov can give this to some other fellow who needs It. He had heard the others asking for sewing-kits all down the ward. They are in great demand and very hard to get"

Horsemen Knew Their Business.

The value of having practical horse men in charge of remount camps is shown in provisions made for shelter. When 1t came to building the great depots required at each of the camps they ordered open sheds instead of barns-or for the severe northern cli- mate, sheds closed on one side. To the city-bred humanitarian who saw thousands of Uncle Sam's horses and mules standing out in the cold, this seemed cruel, and complaint was en- tered. But by practical test it was shown that the horsemen were right. Those animals which were housed up did not thrive as well as the ones which were kept in the open. When talking with the head of the remount division the thing he was most proud of was the fact that our horses were kept In better condition with fewer losses, than the horses of England or France, and that we did this with a much smaller man force, largely Ee- cause we give them open-air treat ment

MISS SHOOTS
 FEARS DEATH
Authorities Remove White Slayer Victim to Another
 City for Safety.

Tearing vengeance on the part of Nick Desesa, the white slayer arrest cd by the Federal authorities at Nor. walk, Tuesday, the informant and vic- tim, Ethel Stoots, this morQinE ap- peaISed for protection to the govern ment agents
 As soon as the girl learned tha Desesa had been released under a s10,000 bond and that he had re- turned to South NUrwalk, Miss Stoots became frightened and insisted that If her whereabouts were to become known to Desesa he would kill her.
 To remove the girls apprehensions and to avoid any possible attempt on her life by Desesa she wes quietly taken away from South Norwalk this noon by agents of the Department of Justice. She is now en'7ving com fortable quarters in another city of the state.

 Fresh Opium.
WOMAN SUSPECTED
 LOCAL PURVEYOR
Agent Jewel Making Com plete Investigation of Un-
 lawful Traffic Here.

Immediately following the ratd on the Chinese Tea Room at State and Water streets yesterday in which much evidence was collected to show that a dope traffic exists in Bridge port, Federal agents, under the diree- ton of Special Agent Jewel, working from local headquarters, proceeded to Waterbury where the California laun- dry, conducted by Yuen Took, at 4 Bishop street, was raidedL The gov ernment officers met with more sue cess in Waterbury.
 Entering the front of the laundry the S ret Service men proceeded t the rear of the Chinese establishment and found a layout similar to tha found at Water street. Among the cOntraiband found were a complete set of pipes, a set of scales with which to weigh the opium in making up "HoT Toys" IT cans of fresh opium, two cases containing about 300 Hop Toy cans and much burnt out opium. The proprietor of the resort was ar rested and will be taken to New Ha- ven today where he will be aITaigned before the United States Commis- sioner
 Federal agents are stin fin Bridge port working on clues leading to the supposed importation of opium by Hein Wang, proprietor of the Chinese Tea House owned by Hong Tuen & Company at State and Water streets The latest disclosures tend to ehov that there is some connection betweer Gee Sing, the Chinaman who was ar rested at the railroad station by tn local police last April while in posses sion of a suit case containing larg, quantities of dope, and the Wate, street Tea Room, which was ra3dec yesterday. Gee Sing Is now in tht Hartford county jail awaiting trial be, fore the Federal court. It is hoped that more information can be ob ta3nCd from him relative to the un
 lawful traffic in operation here il Bridgeport.
 A new phase in connection with ef forts to apprehend the srnuggglers and distributors of the drug was dis closed this morning by the report tha' on several occasions during the pas year a strange looking. decrepid olo
 woman has been known to visit tn, Tea House on Water street. It Is saic that she carried an innocent lool1ing cheap telescope bag. On her last triI it was noted that she left town by way of the New Haven trolley. 1 Further interesting developments il i the case are expected daily.

Gift From French RenuhIIo.

Three phrases from President Will sons war messages will be woven in a costly Gobelin tapestry France Is having made as a gift to the city of Philadelphia. The tapestry is to be hung in the museum in the Quaker city and Is about to be placed in the hands of the workers at the famous 'GobelIn factory for completion, according to an exchange.
 The tapestry will be 21 feet by 15 feet. It will be full of life and color and will have an atmosphere of en- thusiasm and patriotism in portray ing troops departing from Philadelphia for Europe to participate in the war of justice.
 Below are three panels containing these phrases from President Wilson's messages:
 Right is more precious than peace. g

Woe to the man on destroyer who is gifted with that strange, unexplain- able talent of being able to see by night. There be such. His is almost a 24-hour-a-day task. And he finally gets the 'periscope eye and is sent ashore to get well. if he can. His eyes weep tears of pus by day and, after sleep, his lids are glued together with granulation.

Look Out For Bad
 S2O U. s. Paper Money

That some of the bad money which has appeared in New York during the past few weeks has reached Bridgeport Is evidenced by the utter ing of several counterfeit bills in the city during the last day or two. The Sheffield Lunch on Main street had three of these bad bills showed over the counter to the cashier yesterday. The bogus money was immediately detected and the customer given the benefit of the doubt as to his inno- cence. It is not thought that these bills are of local origin, but 1t Is be- lieved that they have innocentiy ap- peared in Bridgeport through the or dinary course of exchange.

STOCK MARKET

New York, Feb. 7.---United States Steers further decline of virtually a point to SS 3-S, the lowest quotation since the recent cut in the extra dGvi- dend, account largely for the irreg- ular tone at the opening of today's s stock market. Other industrtals, as equipments and metals, reflected fur ther selling pressure and declines of fractions to point. Rails were again listless, but also inclined toward lower levels with shippings. The few ex- captions embraced International Pa per and one or two other speciahies controlled by pools.

lished to neutralize the danger of an
other German invasion. But military
authorities have said that Germany is
now in such state of Importance
that she would be unable to disturb
the peace of her weakest neighbor.
The President probably entered into
this treaty to secure French support
of the League covenant, realizing that
it would amount to no more than a
gesture of assurance" to Danish the
exaggerated French fear of the Ger
mans. But if ratified it would amount
to a triple alliance among Great Brit
ain, the United States and France for
purposes of war, and it is improbable
that the American people will so far
abandon their policy in this regard as
to enter into such an agreement.

WASTE BY FIRE

There is no justifiable excuse for
the vast fire waste occurring yearly in
the United States. Most of it is due
to another one OF our American sins,
carelessness.
The fire losses for the United States
in 1918 were some $290,000,000, the
heaviest ever recorded with the eX-
ception of the year 1906, when the San
Francisco disaster contributed SO
much to the total. Most of these fires
were listed as preventable, and, oc-
curing in a year when all energies
were bent upon saving and conserva-
tion, they mark the United States with
grave inefficiency in the department OF
fire prevention.
Many fires sprang from the efforts
of the firebug. Four hundred and forty
one convictions of arson were secured
in forty-two states, of which 172 were
attempts to defraud the insurer and
156 were the result of pyromania, OF
some similar motive.
Boosting production is all right as a
remedy for the high cost OF living
but it would be more effective if less
of this increased production were sac
rificed to the fire ogre.

THE NEW BOOKS
"The Six.HOur DaY.n

Lord Leverhulme in his new book
"The Six-Hour Day and Other Indus
trial Questions" has endeavored to
interest labor in the results which the
modern direction of labor and the cap
ital employed is accomplishing. His
principle is progressive profit-sharing
on the part of the laborer. He de-
scribes the system under which the
laborer is given share in the profits
without being subjected to the tempta-
tions and uncertainties of the COM
mon type of shareholder.
Lord Leverhulme is one of the most
enlightened capitalists and foremost
business administrators in England
His conclusions are very striking con-
trasts to those put forth by Karl Marx
He sums up in one address. do you
know that we get many of our great
inventions from the operatives them
selves. Now, the greatest stimulus to
the production of this inventiveness
we wish to develop is a share in the
profits. 1t would harmonize our in
dustries, it would make for brother
hood, and, above all, it would make
