There is. believe, more disagree
able and undesirable suggestiveness in
a seminude than in an absolutely
undraped figure, for the one offers no
food for imagination and the other is
full of underlined yet nevertheless
obvious suggestions.
An evening gown that boldly reveals
the figure, that brings to full view the
arms, bust and shoulders of the wearer
is not to my mind as immodest an attire
as clinging semitransparent summer
street frock that gives its wearer an
appearance of having little, il anything,

immodesty in dress is the inappro-

too, is blouse or dress cut too low

One of the factors in immodesty In
dress is the habit of doing without cor

The Republican leaders of the city
are sore over what they term the evil
dent intention of the Roraback crowd
in Hartford. to gum the works locally

the Republican State Committee as
Treasurer of the Womens Division in
Bridgeport and that she will appoint
collectors in every voting district in
the city who will canvass the districts

BORROWS
OF AUGUST
Yesterday the Warmest for
That Date in At
Years.

The absolute disregard of all
meteorological rules by a certain area
the eastern part of the United States
for three weeks was responsible for
the hottest 21st of October in AT
years. At 4:30 yesterday afternoon
the temperature registered 81 degrees,
which has all known weather records
beaten for this time of year.
According to Voluntary Weather
Observer Jennings the high pressure
which has shunted off all cool waves
and all storm areas, has remained
over the entire eastern part of the
country since Oct. 1. All attempts by
other pressures carrying with them
rain cooler weather to penetrate
this particular area of high pressure
have been defeated. The barometric
reading on the high pressure which
in the neighborhood of 5000. Under
ordinary circumstances such a high
pressure area remains in one place
only two or three days.
The barometer this morning showed
that there was some movement to the
warm weather breeder. The barome-
ter dropped to 80 and there were
indications that low pressure areas
from the Southwest and the North
west were either diSsipating it or were
pushing it out to sea.
The average mean temperature for
the last three weeks in Bridgeport
has been 81 degrees. which represents
daily excess of degrees over the
average, 54, for the last 38 years, the
limit of Observer Jennings records.
The official government records
from Boston and other points in New
England show that the weather of
the past three weeks has been the
warmest in At years for this time of
the year. That At years represents
the length of time in which records
have been kept.

OF
VOTERS
WOMEN
Figures Obtained Show
That in Many Of the
Towns and Cities Of
the State the Women
Voters Are Equal in
Number to the Men
Only Ope-eighth Were
Not Made.

According to figures obtained at
Suffrage Headquarters in Hartford
the women voters in the November
election will comprise nearly one-haf
of the electorate. In some cities the
number of women voters equals that
of the men and in others it exceeds
them.
These figures would indicate that
the efforts of the women to obtain
large registration were successful and
there are now three women voters to
every five male. They also indicate
that only about one-eighth of the
women eligible to be made failed to
take advantage of the opportunity.
This fact rather disposes of the con-
tention of the anti-suffragists who
asserted that the women did not want
the vote.
The total electorate of the state has
been increased by at least one-third
by the advent of woman suffrage.
The registration in the large cities of
the state was surprisingly large. In
Hartford the number of male and
female voters is nearly equal. The
same is true in Meriden and in
Bridgeport while New Haven ran a
little behind.

MUST PROTECT
CHILDREN IN STREETS

Superintendent of Police Patrick ].
Flanagan today issued a second
warning to captains in charge of the
four precinct police stations that they
must see to it that the recent ruling
laid down by the police officials and
having to do with children playing in
the street must be enforced. The
superintendent lays special emphasis
on the fact that numerous complaints
have been lately received that chill
dren are endangering their lives by
roller skating in the street. This
nuisance must stop. according to the
superintendent and the patrolmen on
the various beats must see to it
that it is enforced. It is believed that
with the curtailment of allowing the
children to play in the streets acci-
dent casualties which have been too
numerous in the past will cease al
together.
