Our present month receives it's name. most appropriately, from Maia, the
 mother of Mercury and the goddess of
 Growth, the first born and the most beau
 tiful of the seven sisters of the Pleiades.
 This beautiful little group of stars has
 now withdrawn from our evening sky,
 and indeed when men regulated their ac-
 tions more directly by the aspect of the
 heavens than they do now, the farmer
 was cautioned not to SOW his grain until
 Maia had set. Just as the time of the
 Venal Equinox begins a new life on
 the earth, so the following month, which
 is this one, is the month of growth. Not
 until the sun in it's yearly motion reaches
 Cancer will we have our hottest days.
 and not until it enters the Sickle will our
 harvest days have come.
 THE MAY STARS
 In the east the beautiful Northern Cross is just emerging from below the ground and the fiery Scorpion is beginning
 to appear, though Antares, the most strik- ing star of the latter constellation and
 the entire Scorpion, will not have en- tered our evening heavens until June. Spica and Arcturus shine brightly in the
 south and Capella is still visible in the northwest, but the Dog Star, Sirius, and
 the red Aldebaran have entirely disap- peared.
 The great Water Snake is now in the
 best position of the entire year for ob- servation; both this very extended group and the smaller consultations of the Cup
 and the Crow, which it bears on it's back, are high above the ground in the early
 evenings of May. The head of the Water Snake is at A (Figure D and the extreme tip of the tailis at c. All of the bright stars marked D are interesting double stars, the pair in the Crow possessing an additional interest from the fact that it's two suns are drifting together in north westerly direction with so high speed that they will change their position in the sky an amount equal to the ap- parent diameter of the full moon in the course of 1000 years.
 A little way below and to the right of the star at B. in the curve of the neck, there is a slightly fainter star, easily seen as a wide double in small tele- scope The brighter component of this pair is described as lilac color Those two suns are also drifting together over the sky, but with only two-thirds of the speed of the double star system in Corvus The possessor of a small star atlas will find many other colored and variable stars as well as star clusters and nebulas, whose positions are indicated in this part of the heavens.
 THE PLANET VENUS IN MAY But perhaps the most interesting ol all objects to the amateur observers are the bright planets now visible in the even ing heavens and their striking and inter-
 esting motions during the present month.

The Great Revolution in Europe and
 What Will Be Its Final Result?

This is the subject of a free lecture by Daniel Toole of Pittsburg Pa, at the Jefferson theatre, Sunday night, at p. m.
 "We are facing the possibility of a storm that will shake the whole structure of modern society and may shake it down. says Chas. K. Russell, who has recently travelled Europe. "Three hundred millions on the line of starvation. Food or chaos," he continues. Taft says: Eff Europe goes to pieces America will be involved in another world war without the least doubt" Hear MT. Toole tell about it and what the Bible says will be the result.

 The present eclipse is of special i'm portance because on account of the un- usual nearness of the moon to us it's shadow is unusually wide.

on special day was to defeat it in advance. Everybody knows that.
 And the present Administration of the City of Bridgeport deliberately called for a special election and thereby defeated the charter, though the vote was 5,764 in it's favor to 85o against!
 In June, 1915, the people voted 4,173 to 2OO6 to adopt the Commission Form of Gov ernment In November, 1915, they voted 4304 to 2, 1O5 to appoint a commission to draw up charter. In November, 1916, they voted 5,764 to 83e to adopt the charter submitted. But the vote was thrown out because of the ''6O per cent clause"
 In the meantime they voted by over whelming majorities to reject other substitute measures.
 I firmly believe that this whole question of Commission Government should again be submitted to the people, this time at a regular election so that the will of the people may be made effective, and if am elected Mayor 1

Many a well known Bridgeport mo- torist along the line came as near as he ever did to being pinched because he craned his neck in a long, finger ing look at the Mack Sennett actor ines and disregarded the traffic rules. However, the girlse came pack with a clear record of no casualties, and stated that they liked everything about our city except the weather. CaIifornians are especially touchy on this point, anyway, so we can let it pass.

Fellow Citizens:-
 There have been six separate votes held in the City of Bridgeport during the past four years on questions related to Commission Government and on every occasion the people have signifed by a majority of never less than two to one, that they Want Commission Gov ernment and have specifically adopted the Five Commission Plan.
 Yet we do not enjoy Commission Govern ment today Why?
 Can it be- that tfe people no longer rule their own city of Bridgeport?
 Can they repeatedly express, in formal elections at the polls, their preference for something that is denied them just as many times as they ask for it? Here's a most extra ordinary situation!

somebody's whim or convenience, or some other purpose not made public.
 Now we all know that there is Commis- sion Government act in the laws of the State of Connecticut and that under this act any city may institute a Commission Government election and adopt charter for itself, without a special act of the Legislature.
 But there is one joker" in this law, and suppose that some shreWd politician. slipped it in. It was a clever and apparently deliberate use of this joker" that Commission Govern ment in Bridgeport was finally defeated de- spite the repeated votes of the people in favor of it. *
 The law provides that if the Commission Government election is held at a regular city or state election, then the charter may be adopted by majority of those voting.
 But the law also provides that if the Com mission election is held at a special election, then it is not valid unless 60 per cent. of the registered voters take part in it.
 Now 60 per cent of the registered voters never took part in any special election of the kind in the history of the city and probably they never will. Everybody knows that
 Therefore, to call the Commission Gov ernment on regular election day was to give the charter fair chance. To call the election

Mrs Welsh Does All the Work
Now for Family of Nine.
Had Suffered Is Years-She
Praises TanIac.

Eighteen years ago this Spring"
said Mrs. Annie Welsh. Of 1904 An
tiOuette street, Peoria, Illinois, while
We were living on the farm, I lost my
health and have never seen a well day
since that time until a few weeks ago.
Why. II anybody had told me there
was a medicine that could relieve me
OF all these eighteen years suffering
in so short time I would not have
believed them. But Tanlac has done
all this for me and more. for I have
gained thirty-five pounds in weight
on seven bottles Of the medicine.
L was first taken with an attack of
acute indigestion and lay right at the
point OF death. The cramps and pains
in my stomach simply can't be de-
scribed, and after this spell I lost
weight and strength very fast and soon
had no health at all. I suffered from
what they called autointOXicatiO n-a
poisoned systen-and took so much
strong medicine trying to get rid of
the acid that my stomach got in an
awful condition. Then I was taken
with rheumatism and had it so bad in
my arms and legs that I could hardly
stand it. Then my kidneys COM
u1enCed to bother me and my back
hurt me so bad Il [ times that I would
actually scream. Many a night I
couldn't sleep on account of my suf-
fering and had become almost a con-
firmed invalid. I could eat nothing
killing me and I had rheumatism so
bad I was afraid I would lose the use
of all my limbs.
u was unable to do the least bit of
work and while we spent all of twelve
undred dollars for treatment and
medicines nothing ever did me any
good until a friend Of mine who had
used Tanlac persuaded me to try it.
Well had not taken TanIac long
until I knew 1 had at last found the
right medicine. I have taken seven
bottles now and every sign OF rheurna-
tism is gone, my kidneys never bother
me any more and my stomach is in as
good condition as il ever was In fact
I am perfectly well woman. eniov
as good health as [ ever did in nv
life. and this seems almost too good
to be true after suffering for eighteen
years as did Why. I can do all the
work. washing and everything, for nv
