BRIDGEPORT IS HIT BY WRITER
 FOR MAGAZINE

Bridgeport isn't so much of a town, according to an author who writes in Good Housekeeping, an article en- titled When Women Sit In Judg- ment.
 The story is said by it's author to Tread like fiction.'' and it does.
 The heroine of the tale is Gratia L. P.ice, attached to the juvenile work in the City Court of Bridgeport. Miss Rice, to do her justice, is not quoted, and the language used regarding Bridgeport and the conditions in Bridgeport, is the language of the author of the article, who did not take the trouble to find out that the foreign population of Bridgeport con- sists almost entirely of church mem bers, nor that it numbers very high percentage of property owners and taxpayers.
 But here is the stuff that reads like fiction, just as the author wrote it:
 "Gratia L. Rice. lifelong educa- tor, an art lecturer, and one of the most pleasing personalities in public life today, is another woman doing all the work of a judge, is termed ''jCGge" by courtesy, and has won the gown spiritually anyway, though the
  ally elected judges. Three years ago 50 prominent women educators got together in New York city and pledg- ed themselves to go wherever up building work was to be done in America and do it. Gratia L. Rice's pledge landed her in the Juvenile court of Bridgeport. Conn, a town with a voting population of 20, 1000 and an actual population of 226,000; largely foreigners who work in the factories, have little respect for American law and order, and an a;bid- ing faith that this government of ours will soon be overthrown anyway and they might as well hack to pieces as much of it as is within their reach, while waiting for the big crash for superior footing opportunities. They draw wages unheard of in any Euro pean experience, and naturally have little conception of what to do with their money. They own no property take no interest in the country, send their children to their own schools where they are taught in their own tongue, and put religious mandates ab0Vesthose of the state-"

s'BOBBING" HAIR CRAZE COMES TO
 END IN LONDON

London, May 13-The fashion of cutting women's hair short is waning and scores of short-haired women are searching West End hairdressing shops for locks with which to replace those of which they were shorn a, few months ago when the f'bobbing'' craze was at its height. This has created an abnormal demand for hair of all coIors. Possessors of rich auburn or pure white locks Of suitable length can obtain SIP or $15 by submitting to the "bobbing'' operation.
 There is some irony in the fact that many London women who paid five or six shillings a few months ago to have their hair F'bobbed' and left the tresses with the hairdresser, not knowing they might have received money for them, are now spending anxious hours in other shops in an often futile matching up'' endeavor

OF PUREBRED CALVES
Novel Idea Introduced in Wisconsin

A novel form of rattle has been en-
ployed in Lincoln county, Wisconsin,
by the members Of newly organ
ICED Holstein cattle association to
promote the cause Of better sires.
With the profit the association derived
from the sale Of 90 head Of cattle
which it brought in from the southern
part Of the state, and from the sale of
several other animals secured locally,
the association bought eight purebred
bull calves. The method by which
these calves were distributed resem-

acted Of "chance" takers, but instead
all were required to join the associa-
ton. In every instance the bull went
to men who had not had purebred
bulls previously or who had manifest
ed little interest in the purebred stock
