LEAGUE VOTERS
FEAR FOREIGN INFLUENCE
But Majority of Four to Owe Is Rolled UD
For Covenant; 5o42 Yeas,
I,2II Noes.

Fear of foreign influence in the
United States seems to be the chief
objection to the league of nations
on the part of readers of The Wash
ington Herald.
I'VE should weigh matters carefully
before We sign up so that the United
States will be directed by a council
of nine, in which it will have but
one vote" a woman reader writes
the league of nations editor.
Many of those objecting seemed to
believe that while the proposed
league is unwise there might be de-
vised a constitution that would pro-
tect the interests of the United States
more satisfactorily.
Friends of the league among the
readers of The Washington Herald,
however. outnumber its enemies
four to one. The ballots received
yesterday bring the total of those
in favor of the league up to 5,042
and those against to 1,211.
One Virginia voter evidently be-
lieved that the sooner the league

YANKEE DIVISION
 PREPARING FOR
 ITS BIC BAZAAR

President ConkertC>S of the Yankee Division Association, which held an enthusiastic meeting at the lodge rooms of the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States. 1S9 State street, last night, deplored the fact that the work of preparing for the big bazaar which they will hold at the State ArnDry next month is being seriously handicapped through being confused with the work of the Amer icen Legion.
 In the course of his remarks on the subject, President Conkerton said: We have absolutely no con nection with the American Legion and as a body will not have any con- nection. Merchants and manufactur- CTS throughout Bridgeport are surely suffering from a flood of misinforma- ton upon the subject and we would appreciate it if the public press would rectify the matter.
 Tt is no fault of ours that we are conducting this drive at the same time as the Legion, and we are cer- tainly entitled to fair play. The Yankee Division Association is what the name implies and we are not in any shape, manner or form connect ! ed with the American Legion

BELIEVES MILK PRICES TO STAY
 UP FOR WHILE

Hartford, Conn.,, Oct. s-Edmund Hudson of the Connecticut Milk Pro- ducers Association believes local milk prices will stay where they are for while. He takes issue with New York milk producers who say they can furnish the metropolis with eight cent milk.
 Most Connecticut farmers receive ten cents a quart and dealers charge an average of 16 cents. There are instances, he said, where IS cents is the price and even fourteen cents, but at these prices milk was not of good quality. Hartford uses about 5000 quarts of milk daily, MT. Hudson said and most of it is purchased for Is cents by the public. Some families however, are paying 23 cents a quart In West Hartford dealers sell for the price. Another dealer gets 20 cents. MT. Hudson said there have been some slight decreases in the price of feed but until further decreases are made there will be no possibility of a cut in milk prices.

 President Is Sick Man

The president slept some last night. With him is a trained nurse who is assisting Mrs Wilson in caring for the patient. The president has no tenn peratuEe tand his heart action is good, 1t was said at the White House.
 Mrs. William Gibbs McAdoo, and Mrs Francis Sayre, daughters of the President, are on their way to Wash ington. Mrs. McAdoO will arrive this afternoon from New York. Mrs. Sayre is coming from CambpeIl, Mass. It was said that while members of the family had not been summoned to Washington, Mrs. McAdoo and Mrs. Sayre had expressed a desire to come. Miss Margaret Wilson, the | third daughter, is now in Washing ton.
 AdmiraIs Grayson and Stt and Dr. Ruffin were in consultation for about two hours and this delayed the l issuing of the usual 10 o'clock bull letin as to the Presidents condition. After spending an hour and a half at the Presidents bedside, Dr. De- crum returned homo at midnight. 1 We merely confirmed Dr. Grayson's s l diagnosis made previously and found the President very much in need of rest. He is very cheerful and takes
 an interest in what is going on. This l Is an encouraging condition" l MT. Wilson, according to Dr. De- l crun, realizes that he is a sick man 1 and is making an effort to cease chaf- 1 ing under the restraint which com i pels him to relinquish temporarily the l helm of the administration.

At a Theatre-"Whan people stand up in the theatre so that I may pass them to reach my seat in the middle of the row should I say Excuse mel or should I say Thank you! Which is the proper thing to say in such a case?' (Answer.) Either of those remarks, or any other of similar na- ture, is proper. The chief thing is to show that you appreciate the fact that you are putting other people to inconvenience, and that you appre- ciate their courtesy in making way for you. The important thing is to say something appreciative.
