Each is a star and Saturn himself would pawn his rings to hear them.
 There was an old world triumph at Covent Garden in 1899 and since then Louis Homer has not become a lesser god. Simplicity and grace in art and a remarkable ,versatility-is that not enough?

TO REACH THOSE

Washington, Oct. 21.-A three year-thrift campaign to reach every family in the country that has no bank account was proposed to the American Bankers association today by it's committee on Public and Pri- vate Thrift. As a parta of the cam paign, government officials would be called upon to practice utmost econ omy so as to reduce the expenditures of the federal government.
 '"The recent orgy of extrava gance," declared the committees report, "has indicated very clearly the need for more popular realization of the need for saving when and as the oppor- tunity presents itself. The time is at hand when thrift and saving will be garded not only possibilities, but actual necessities

Digging Foundation For
 New Lighting Plant

Some forty years ago Joseph Farist was largely instrumental in bringing the first electric lights to Bridgeport That first little plant was in an old carpet shop at the corner of Water street and South avenue. It seemed like a good deal of a plant then and created no end of talk but as a matter of fact it would not be sufficient today to furnish the lights for one of Bridgeport'S department stores.
 By one of those strange coinci- dences of life there is now building one of the largest electric light and England on what was the site of that same Farist's steel plant. Down at the foot of East Main street men of the c. w. Blakeslee Company of New of derricks, pumps, cement mixers and piis drivers, doing the under water and foundation work for the great new generating plant of the United illuminating Company which will supply the whole area which that company serves with light and power, area which is IS miles across. Eventually this plant will entirely Supercede the one at Congress street.
 How apid has been the increase in the use of electricity in Bridgeport can be judged from the fact that in 1910 a plant with a capacity of 2.500 horse power was amply able to take care of the demands. In 1916 it re- 1920 it is now using 20,00O. and be- fore the first of January it is expected to reach almost 30,000. The new plant will start of with about 30,000 horsepower and Eventually grow to 90,O0O.
 The lighting company anticipa ted the use of the new plant this fall but the shortage. of materials. especially steel and various labor conditions has made it impossible to get the buildih g ready for use that soon. The foun-

 The building will be of steel and brick with very high walls. In it will be installed an equipment up to the minute with all the newest improve ments for handling coal and ashes. barge to ash pile. The company has bought the whole property of eight acres which gives it plenty of room to store coal and it is probable that stored to take care of the needs of the winter season. The Lighting com pany will ultimately be the largest consumer of coal in town. At present it uses about 275 tons each A hours. This amount will grow to 500 tons as the big plant reaches it's maximum output of power and light. This will not necessarily increase the consump- tion of coal in Bridgeport for as diff ferent manufacturing concerns take on electric power they will stop burn ing coal themselves. It is expected that eventually every manufa cturer in the city will be using electricity for power The demand for it for that purpose is increasing, some plants now using as much as 4.000 horse power
 The engineering work is being done by the Westcott & Mapes Company of structure will be done by Casey & Hurley of this city. The equipment will be installed by the manufactur- CTS. This equipment is not expected to cause any delay as it was ordered 10 months before the work was start ed on the foundation.

 It is stated that German exporters are offering these suits to British inn porters at the rate of 1000 suits for 120 pounds CT the normal equivaleast of about GO cents a suit. They, are
 described as "of the very best paper texture" Other quotations would permit English retailers to obtain from 200 to 300 per cent. profit.

Vagrancy Law Knocked Out.

Clifton Hudgins arrested in Mcdowell
county, w. Va, has been released from
Jail at Welch on an order from the
West Virginia Supreme Court, which
declares the "idlencss and vagrancy
statute" to be unconstitutional.
fIudgins was indicted by the grand
jury of Mcdowell county at WEIGH
on May 10, charged with having fail
cd to work SO hours on two separate
weeks, and the judgment in the first
offense was 80 days at hard labor and
a inc of SIS, the lobar to be performed
on the public road, and for the second
offense, Imprisonment for as days and
a Fl ne of S35.
One paragraph OF the courts opinion
reads:
"While greater production during
the period OF the war might be de-
sirable, is that a subject with which
the State has the right to deal? We
think not. Certainly not by accusing
all citizens coming within its provi-
sions with vagrancy and as criminals,
without reference to their ability to
support and maintain themselves and
their dependents without work"
The vagrancy law that is thus de-
stroyed was enacted while the World
Var was in progress in order to in
crease production. 1t remained on the
statute books after the war ended, the
Legislature evidently believing that il
a wise law even in peace times. II
is effectively killed by the above deci-
sion.
