MARKETS ARE
 ALL FLOODED
 BY LIMITATIONS.

It is claimed that a chain of man ufacturers and dealers have been working for years to produce an iIni- tation of a certain spark plug, and that quantities of inferior goods of this kind have been turned out.
 Whether or not this claim is sus- tained or not, the market for all kinds of goods is full of limitations. some of which are worthless and others unreliable. The public has to be constantly on it's guard.
 Several projections against disap- pointing purchases can be suggested: Buy advertised goods. People do not spend money on publicity un- less they know the stuff is o. K. D. Buy of your home mercnants. They know the game and will protect you It is also helpful to buy goods on which the makers name is stamped, l as that helps indentify standard pro. ducts.

OPS( and that he be given a trial in Bridge port on any charges that have been, or may be made against him.
 A large number of the members of Lodge No. 30 are opposed to agreeing to anything less than the uncondi- tional. acceptance of the demands as there is strong sentiment among them to accept the proposition of the delegation of Micrometer lodge of New York city who appeared before the meeting of Lodge 30 last Friday night and invite the lodge to join with the New York machinists in the formation of the International Metal Workers Union.
 The labor organization known as the One Big Union is also looking over the Bridgeport situation and believe that is a fertile field in which to sew the One Big Union idea among the machinists. F. E.

U. will be present Friday night at the meeting of Lodge No. 30 and explain to the members the benefits they would receive from joining his or ganization.

 An injunction was requested on the grounds that the commission requir- ing the reports exceeded the authority vested in the commission by Con- gress, that if Congress gave the com. mission auth ority to request such re- ports the act is unconstitutional, and that any power vested in the conn mission to require reports was trans ferred to the fuel administration by presidential order.

PORTIA.

There are two strong opposed theories regarding woman. The first, ''The Feminist Movement conaists in the slow and reluctant recognition by man that the fact is here-WoYnan is not merely an appendage to man, but a separate individual, entitled to all the opportunities her natural powers enable her to employ
 The second theory is the old adage, Woman, a dog and a hickory tree, the more you beat them the better they be-"
 Sha.kespeare's Portia seems to have struck the balance between these two sayings. She was a lawyer; luminous ly inte1lectua1; beat man at that game; and saved Antonio by master stroke.

turned to attack they fired even into their own homes where some of the Americans had fled for protection against the hail of steel pellets that ralned into the camp. Victory finally crowned the heroic struggle of the doughboys.
 Most of the boys who were killed never had a chance to leave their beds," the officer said. "They were shot while asleep. The others came scrambling out, and fought in their underclothing. I ordered them on to advance in skirmish order. They moved as though on the drill ground. A corporal, already wounded in the foot, led them. He walked and the men followed.
 Buried Without Taps"
 We reached a low-lying fence, and I organized my defense with two men on each flank, three to protect the rear and sixteen facing the enemy. This is the manner in which the men met the Russians, armed with Ger man and Russian rifles.
 My orderly was behind me. carry ing my rifle My pistol was empty, and I turned to him, asking for the rifle. As he handed it to me his head was blown off. I was wounded in the leg by an American bullet. fired by a Russian.
 "A Russian ran to our ammunition tent put my head out of window In house where I had gone to pick sharpshooter and received a bullet in the jaw. My teeth flew over the place like so many pellets. Before long. though. we had them on the run"
 When the fight was all over the victors started to bury the enemy dead. Lying face down. shot three times in the back, they found the body of the former "buddie" who had be- trayed them. He, too, was buried. but no taps bade him rest in peace.

 Ii was disclosed here for the tr0t time by Lieut.. Lawrence D. Butler or the Thirty-frst infantry. With the lower half of his jaw shot away, a wound received in the engagement, Butler recited the tale haltingly.
 Guided by American.
 An American soldier deserted and guided a numerically superior force of Russians to a poorly protected camn where the Americans were bivouacked. They were sleeping when the onslaught opened. The Russians were massed on the crest of a heav- ilv timbered hill commanding the en- fire camp, and poured a deadly rifle and machine gun fire into the thin khaki ranks. There were seventy-two doughboys when the fight started. when if ended twenty-eight were dead and twenty-five others were severely wounded. Five of the company have haan recommended for the Distin- guished Service cross.
 The Russians had posed as simple country folk, friendly to the Amer Icans. They outnumbered their bene- foctors ten to one. But when they
