tional institutions have altered their
course to suit the desires of disabled
soldiers applying for entrance Non col
legiate courses are being offered, in or
der TO meet the requirements of students
without sufficient preparation for work
of regular college grade. Entire new sub

training for camp cooks which in that
particular locality offers good openings,
as the demand is large and the pay good.
State legislatures have made appro-
priations sufficiently large to cover all

Employers advertise for the services of
discharged disabled men, not with the
idea of exploitation, but because of their
enlarged vision and broader experiences
gained through their service-makes
them satisfactory employees
Workers in the various industrial and
commercial establishments in which dis.
abled men have been placed have almost
universally welcomed the opportunity of

MARKETING FOR WIVES.
Queer Marriage Customs That Prevail
Among Indian Tribes.

The Azandi, tribe living in the north
east of the Belgian Congo, sell wives
amazingly cheap. There is no need for
the intending bridegroom to wait months
before he can pluck up courage to pop
cents, will procure him life's partner
Another marriage market" thrives in
the mountainous district of the Mafalees,
in New Guinea. The price OF each girl is
one pig, augmented with dogs teeth
necklaces, and so on, according to the
wealth of the girls parents. The pro-
posal is usually made by proxy, the boy
sending female relative to the lady OF
his choice.
The preliminaries to courtship among
the Mafalees are rather picturesque.
When a young man, wishing TO marry,
goes out TO seek his "ojande' literally.
his flower, he will light a fire on still
day in bush or in an open space out
side his village and wait till a slight
breeze carries the fame or smoke in one
direction or another. He then takes that
point of the compass as an indication
and walks to the next village to find his
flower"
The Santali Indians must literally
purchase their brides They pay a sum
of money to the girls parents usually
about 100 rupees-and, in addition, they
present the mother and the female rela
tives with new saris or shawls
Should the bridegroom choose widow
for his wife, she viii only cost half the
sum mentioned. The reason why the
Sautali Indiana hold UidoUs In Lose 70
gard than unmarried females is because
they assert that in the next world man
and wife are reunited, hence a widow
who marries again is only 'lent" to her
second husband. When a young man
courts a girl who does not favor his suit,
he adopts an eccentric way to cure her
stubbornness. After having dipped his
finger in red paint, he goes in search of
the lady and imprints his mark on her
forehead. He may claim her as his wife.

MAY BLOCKADE
RUSSIAN PORTS
Allies Council of Five Dis
cussed the Situation:
Americans in Doubt
LATTER AWAIT WORD
FROM WASHINGTON
Most Of Black Sea Ports
Could Be Blocked BY
Denikine Government

Paris, Tuesday, July Is by the As
ISOLATED Press The council of five met
to-day to discuss the Russian blockade.
There have been proposals that the pow
ers shall allow ships to enter Russian
ports under special permits. the United
States having constantly insisted there
has been no blockade against Russia ex-
cept such as is incidental to the embargo
on imports to Germany. Consequently,
the American delegates were not ready
to take any action in the matter until
instructions have been received from
Washington.
1t is suggested that most of the Black
sea ports could be blockaded by the
Denikine government, which is friendly
to the allies, but the supreme council has
not decided to ask Denikine to declare
such blockade.

THE MONTH OF ROSES

A glory of which June cannot be
 robbed is that it is the month of the
 roses. the period when that most
 charming of the flowers spreads its petals and attains it's greatest beauty.
 In the days when Persia ruled the
 world, her poets sang of the loVeI1-
 ness of the red, red rose, and ever
 since the world has been held cap
 tive by the blushing beauty-eXcept
 those pessimists who can see only Its thorns. In Northwestern America the rose has reached it's greatest beauty, and rose festivals have become very popular in Portland, Ore, and other cities where the worship of the queen of flowers is almost a, cult. This month !, the Oregon metropolis holds forth the | lure of a fiesta that will surpass al | it's predecessors. Another interesting 1 Feast of Roses takes place annually | in early June at Mannheim, Pa. The | founder of the town, Baron Henry William Stiegel, of Mannheim, Ger

Hedpda Nova, Fully Mar shall and Sydney Ainsworth together with other screen celebrities g4ve a very good performance.
 Too much cannot be said of the vaudeville bill. The Geui Troupe of seven equilibrists arc positively the best ever seen in Bridgeport. Yum bling characterized the basis of q. very fast act. The applause did not sub side until after the picture was well under way. George Drury Hart and a company of three offered 'I Beg Your Pardon" an unusual comedy sketch that is well conceived and very well acted. Something unusual in the line of sketches. They carried second honors on the bill. Dave Roth. a. neat appearing chap with songs. piano se- lections, violin playing and dancing received several cncores.

There's music, comedy, dancing. girls, thread of q plot and all the other essentials of a regular musical comedy in "Oh, Teddy" which tops tho current program at Polrs. The piece is one of the "peppIsst" of it's kind that has been seen here. It moves along rapidly from curtain to curtain and the action Is interspers- ed with some attractive song num- bers. There are some good-lookinE girls in the chorus who ably support the well-chosen principals.

STORIES ABOUT STARS THAT YOU LIKE TO SEE SHINE
REAL MONEY TALKS,
A Manufacturer Makes An In-
 genious Display.

Realizing that interest tables are apt to be dry stuff, and that people are more easily interested in an exhibit of real, money than by a display of figures a manufacturer who seeks to promote habits of thrift among his employees, arranged an ingenious dis play in the cafeteria of his factory.
 Behind a glass frame were sixteen quarters. dime and two pennies, un- der the legend Today" An arrow pointed from this money to another legend, New Years Day, 1924" with exactly sixteen quarters, a dime and two cents. Underneath the first ar. rangement of coins were sixteen Thrift Stamps. with 8 dime and two cents, then an equal mark, followed by 8, War Savings Stamp, and an arrow pointed to $5 bill under the coins on the opposite side.
 This was indeed a graphic wax.o says Mrs. F. l.. Higginson, Savingu Director for New England, "of showing that S4-12 in itself would not grow at all during five years, whereas invest. ed in Thrift Stamps it will earn near fly another dollar"

EMPIRE.

Bert Lyte1l. the popular Metro star, who will be seen at the Empire thea Ire in "The Lions Den" shows his extreme versatility by the wide di- versity of the roles he has enacted ip his last two productions.
 In "The Lions Den' he is seen as an ardent young clergyman who is seeking the good of his community while in his preceding picture, "Blackie's Redemption" he plays the part of a crook. That his work is equally effective and convincing in both productions shows that MT. Dy- tell is an actor of rare ability as well as q keen student of human nature.
 "The Lions Den" is the second story from the pen of the noted au- thor, Frederick Orin Bartlett, in which MT. Lyten has played. the first was The Spender." Both stories or igiEa1ly appeared in The Saturday Evening Pest.
