Suitable Clothing Important.

"Still another factor in the prOduc-
ton of colds, pneumonia and other re-
spiratOry diseases is carelessness or fg-
norance of the people regarding suit
able clothing during the seasons when
the weather suddenly changes, sitting
in warm rooms too heavily dressed or,
what Is even more common, especially
among women, dressing so lightly that
windows are kept closed In order to be
comfortably warm. This LIS q very in

FINNS BACK
 OF DISORDER

London, Tuesday, April s-Disor-
 ders on the Murmansk front in Rus
 sia were planned by Finnish troops
 and Bolshevik Films, according to an
 official statement issued at the War
 Office today, which states that they are not considered of political signi- ficance. The statement reads:
 "A telegram from Murmansk says that on April a disturbance was caused at Murmansk by Chinese work men, but it was soon put down and was not considered significant politi- cally. The majority of the rioters, most of whom were armed with re- volvers and knives, are now in GUS tody.
 "A party of Red Films twice at tackled one of our posts south of Segeja on April T. but were both times repulsed, leaving six killed behind. We had no casualties. This attack furnises additional eorroboration of the intention to launch simultaneous action by the Finnish legion and BoI- shevik Films.
 "A Russian rifle regiment. which is q part of the Allied forces in North Russia, has occupied Gapnavalok will
 Iage, on the eastern shore of the bay i of Omega. sixty miles south of Soroka, capturing a Bolshevik patrol.'

and he knew of two companies that
 would write ie. We are w1I1ng to
 do anything that ,s fair" he said: IT
 the committee would take trlp 10
 Bridgeport and notice that the con- necticut conpany run cars every 1e" minutes on the lines in which JltneJS compete, and give the people no ser vice on other lines. they will see that the jitney has delivered the goods We cannot operate under the Juris- dtction of the pu1lic utilities corpora ton.
 Under local jurisdiction and insur- ance we will give the people the best service The insurance will do away with reckless driving and will force the undesirable element out of the business. We don't want them any more than you do. The police of the city are better able to handle the jitney than any other body As I said before. we are willing to play | fair and always have, but don't turn us over to the Commission. It would be a death blow.
 The crusade of the jitneys to and i from Hartford was a spectacular af- | fair. Stiff pace was kept up at the | start, and the police of several cit 1 ies escorted the procession from town l line to town line. When several of | the big busses were left in the rear | by the fast drive, a halt was called
 at the outskirts of Berlin.
 The parade started at 10 a. m yesterday morning and returned tc i Bridgeport nearly 12 hours latNr. i Large crowds cheered the drivers | along the road.

MISS FREDERICK MEETS
 AN ARTISTIC GATHERING

Pauline Frederick loves the society of people with ideals-of young peo- pie such as arc met at q gathering of art students. Miss Frederick found pleasure in participating in such a party shortly after her arrival in California. True, it was only mimic affair, occurring in her new Goldwyn picture, One Week of Life" but to the star it took on realistic aspects because of the presence of many young people from the artistic colony in Los Angeles. Although playing themselves in the scene it did not take Miss Frederick long to discover they were not ordinary lex tra' people. The studio executives had decided to overlook professional players of small parts and find ma terial among the actual painters, writers and students to be had there. The result of this departure added considerably to Miss F'rederick's en- joyment of the play.
