TEXTILES ARE
BEING STUDIED
PROCUREMENT
PRACTICAL WAYS OF ELlMINAT.
ING NEEDLESS EXPENSE ARE
BEING WORKED OUT BY Ex-
PERTS.

Washington, June 2-Pra ctical
ways for eliminating needless expense
now burdening the textile industries
of the country are contained in
pamphlet on training textile worker
now being prepared by u. s. train
ing service of the department OF la
Dor. 1t is estimated that the adoption
of these courses reduces by half
the time required for workers to learn
their respective tasks in the textile
mills. Other special benefits claimed
for training are marked reduction in
accidents to employees and in damage
to machinery.
At present the common practice in
starting a new textile employee to
work is to place him beside an old
employe who is supposed to instruct
the beginner as he has opportunity,
in addition to performing his regular
duties. Many times little or no real
instruction is given and the worker
has to pick up his knowledge the best
way he can.
A training department such as the
government experts recommend pro-
vides a special instructor who teaches
the various operations according to
the most approved method and care
fully explains all safety regulations.
The work in these training depart
ments is not theoretical, for the learn
ers are put on actual production and
so are accustomed to conditions as
they find them when transferred to
the class of regular operators.
The training departments are in
tended for old as well as new en-
ployes. They give the former : prac-
tical means for preparing for promo
ton or improving their performance
and enable the worker to obtain a
broader knowledge of the industry
than would otherwise be possible The
pamphlet includes instruction for
workers on pickerS, cards. DIR wing

Wrappers, slashers and spoilers as wei.

THE CINCINATTI.

The Society of the Cincinattf, the oldest American patriotic organiza- ton, was organized by the Ameri- can and French officers of the revolu- bonary forces at the close of hostili- ties, 136 years ago today. The mem bership is now composed of the des- cendants of officers who fought in the Continental and French armies in the revolution, the right to mem- bership descending to the oldest lin cal male descendants of judged worthy, and, in failure of di- rect to male descendants, to male descendants of intervening female descendants. There are now about a thousand living hereditary members of the society, while Pres ident Wilson, and ex-president Taft and others, are honorary members
 as was the late Col. Theodore Roose- welt. From it's organization the socte-
 ty was incompatible with democrat fsic institutions, and feared that i might mark the beginning of a her
 editary ar7sticraCy. Opposition did moi
 cease until about a century ago. The society has a, branch in France, ai well as in various states.

THE PEACE TREATY

Some soft hearted people think the peace terms as stated to the Germans at Versailles, are to severe. Yet Ger many is much better off today than was the Southern Confederacy after the Civil War Today the South Ia very prosperous. If Germany will quit whining, and go to work, ao- cepting her defeat in good faith, shs can satisfy all demands of the Allies. and regain prosperity before the pres ent generation passes on.
 The German people must renem Der that to attain any prosperity, they have got to obtain the good will of the rest of the world. They will never get that, until they make frank confession of the wrongs they have committed. and set to work to atone for them in good faith.
 The German people will now be clear of the tremendous burden Of their military and naval establish ment, which cost them an enormous sum. The savings they make on this will be a.4arge item toward the work of reparation. They are in a posi- ton where they can make their land ed and commercial aristocracy pay very heavy taxes out of the enormous profits made during the war. They can collect the bulk of their 1ndem- nifty from this source alone.
 Food will be cheap there, and wages higher than ever before. They can support themselves after they have imported a few materials like cotton and rubber which their lands fall to produce.
 If conditions of misery continue in Germany after this seasons crops, Ii will be because of the follies and evils still existing in unrepentant German nature, not because of harsh terms imposed by the Allies. The suffering which they have brought upon the world is tmmeasurable, now let them pay what they can to help alleviate a little of it. If they show sincere | repentance and sorrow, they will find l that human nature is generous.

DRAMATIC SCHOOL TO BE BUILT ON
 PARROTT'S POND

Of all the new things that are com ing to Bridgeport there is nothing of such general interest to the pub lie as the National Community thea ter which is soon to be erected at Parrots Pond, at the north end of Park avenue.
 This theater, will be national in its scope for the reason that there is not another one like it in all the east ern states, as there are only one or two open-air theatcrs out west. and it will be a Community theater for the reason that it will belong to the
 community and will embrace com munity acting, community perform ance and the community spirit will prevail it's entire career,
 Dr. Louis Smirnow, of this city, who has written and produced The Masque of Shakespeare and who Is the author of several other works | has leased Parrots Pond and the surrounding land for 6, term of years and is planning to erect an open-aIr ampitheater. The stage will be built in form of a Grecian peristyle fronting which will be the auditorium l arranged in a. semfcircle and afford
 a seating capacity for at least 2,5O0 1 persons. It Is proposed to build boxes
 and stalls fronting the stage and well 1 to the foreground, while above and l back of them will be the other seats i arranged on an incline, much in the
 same manner as an antique Athen- l ian theater of the most classic char i acter.
 The most unique feature or this | open-air theater wilk be the dressing 1 T, 1 ground and which will connect with stairs leading to the stage proper, 1 hence all stage crossing and scene
 shifting will have to be done below 1 the surface and out of sight of the spectators.
 A Community theater of this sort l would undoubtedly prove one of the great factors in AmeriCanization, for | it would bring all classes of people l closer together and would give every body an interest in communal acting,
 much on the style of community sing ing, and would develop a. taste for art
 music and histrionics in people who perhaps never gave these subjects a
 thought before.
 The first play to be presented al
 this new theater will be in the form
 of a Masque entitled America in
 War and Peace,'' and will review American history from it's earliest be ginning to the present day. Many
 novel features and scenic effects will
 mark the production of this Masque such as can not be thought of inside
 of a regular theater.
 l Summer and Winter Sports. Not only will several plays be pre-
 sented every summer, but arrange ments will be made, and the lake vii 1 be dredged and enlarged to such al
 extent for boating, rowing and can , oing during the summer time, whiI, , in the winter there will be fancy
 skating, races on the ice and tobago ing and other winter sports that vii prove very heaIthful and alIuring t 1 all who partal1e in them. In thi way, what is now known as Parrot Pond will in time become one of tn
 greatest recreation centers in Nev t England.
 , The public Is kindly requested t 3 cooperate to make these plans tn success they deserve to be, and al
 interested will please address tn } Community Theater Editor, this pap ,

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST DFCIIA- RATION OF WAR AGAINST
 MEXICO.

Seventy years ago today May 19, 1S46, the United States for mally declared war against Mexico, and Congress authorized President Polk to raise 50,OO0 men and $1O.- O0o.00o to carry on the conflict. A boundary dispute between Mexico and Texas was the cause for this ap- peal to force. although the tmme- diate cause was the invasion of Texas by a. Mexican army and the capture of small body of American troops. The news of this ambush reached Washington on May II, when Presf- dent Polk told Congress that "fexi- GO had passed the boundaries of the United States and Shed blood up- on American soil.'' The President added, 'TWar exists, and exists by the 'act of Mexico herself."' As a. matter of historical accuracy 1t should be noted that the Mexicans had invaded only the disputed territory which was claimed by both countries Five days before war was formally de- clared, however, the conflict had ac- tually begun with the battle of PaIo Alto, in which the American army of General Zachary Taylor was com pletely victorious. Before the thir- teenth the Mexicans had been driven out of the disputed territory and across the Rio Grande, although, in the absence of telegraphs, Congress had no knowledge of the fact
 After the victorious conclusion of the conflict the United States took over 100000 square miles of Mex lean territory, for which the Mexi- can government was paid S15,OOO,- 900. This may sound like a large sum, but 1t figures out at about twenty cents a square mile, which all will agree is quite a bargain ir real estate The expenses of the Mex. jean war were approximately s15o.. 100000. The loss of American live: was about 15,0OO of whom a thirC were killed in battle and the re mainder succumbed to disease. Tn, death toll of the Mexicans, althouEl not exactly known, probably nun bered about 10000.
 President Polk was succeeded a President by Zachary Taylor, who's victories over the Me1lcans had mad him a popular hero.

ANNIVERSARY OF GEN. MEIGs.

This is the 103rd anniversary of the birth of Gen Montgomery Cum nigham Meigs, the foremost scfen- tific officer in the United States ar my during the Civil war period. Gen. Meigs was born on May B, 1916, in Augusta, Ga, but although a. native of the southland he was of New Eng land ancestry. At the age of twenty he graduated from West Point, and entered the engineer service. He was engaged in river and harbor inn provements on the Delaware and Mississippi rivers, and constructed Fort Wayne, or the Detroit river, and Fort Montgomery on Lake Cham plain. He also had charge of the en- largement of the Capitol at Wash ington and the building of it's great dome. In the Civil war he led the ex- petition which saved Fort Pickens at Pensacola, from capture. and was later quarterrna ster-general of the army. In the latter capacity, in fur nishing supplies to the army,
 he had charge of the expendi- lure of nearly $2,O0o, 900, 900, and ac- complished it with probably less loss from waste and fraud than ever be- fore attended the administration o1 was given the rank of major-gener- al in recognition for his services. He ' retired from active service in 1882 and died in Washington ten years later. General Meigs had an inter national reputation in scientific and military circles.

Catherine of Russia, rose from the station of a peasant girl to that of Empress. When a young girl she mar ried Swedish dragoon who was killed in battle on the day of his wedding.
