BRIDGEPORT
 NEEDS A NEW
 PUBLIC LIBRARY

That Bridgeport is sadly in need of a new public library is the consensus of opinion among the most prominent men in the city. The circulation of the library has increased so over- whelningIy during the past year or so that ii becomes more and more apparent each day that present fa- cilities are not nearly adequate.
 Among those who strongly advocate a larger and better equipped library are Seward B. Price, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce.; Bernard Heating, city auditor; B. I. Ashman. prominent manufacturer and Henry N. SanboSn, librarian.

 POETIC TRIBUTE ! ID TRAFFIC ''C0P''
Illness of Officer Bibbins Leads Friend to Sing
 His Praise.

As a tribute to a man whom he has passed virtually every day for the past two years, a man with whom he has much in common and with whom he is thrown in rather close contact, B. R. Bigelow, a motorman in the employ of the Connecticut Go. has in- scribed a poem to Dave Bibbins, traffic officer at Main street and Fairfield avenue for the past two past with penumonia
 MT. Bigelow's poem is as follows: . THE PLACE AND THE FACE. Fairfield and Main is the place, I've
 in mind.
 In all our fair City, there's no more
 of it's kind. To the North and South runs traffic
 on Main.
 And to the East and West on Fair
 fields lane. Some busy place? Well, I'll say fl Automobiles go by with a whizz, And we watch out, not to go wrong
 trolley car gong. Always the. same whatever thu
 weather,
 It's a popular place, where we al
 gather. When travelling over this Park City
 Town,
 Ten to one, you'll pass this place O.
 renown. It's one of the busiest corners, the,
 say,
 There is in this IT. S. today. I guess you understand about tn, place, So now I will tell about the face The face is on a man in blue. To his duty he is constant anc true. The Traffic Officer, is the Man, mean, His face, is pleasant, his eyes ar keen. Dave 1.e is to one and all. i He's slim an trim, handsome an, tall. l Always courteous, obliging and kind, l The safety of everyone he has .r mind. 1 Dave Bibbins, like to watch you. !

Poor Octavia, wife of the abomin- able Nero, you had one consolation-- a faithful slave-Fand the slave was a woman!
 Octavia was married to Nero when she was eleven years old, and he 16. When he came to the throne, he be- gan to neglect her, for he never liked her. He became enamored of Pop poea, and divorced Octavia GA. D. @ on the ground of sterility, and married Popp.
 But that did not satisfy Poppaea. she tried to get Pythias to t'tell on'' her adored mistress - that Octavia was guilty of adultery with a slave. But, though put to the torture, this loyal woman steadily refuted the shameful charge, concerning Oc- tavia

AMERICAN GOODS
 HAVE EFFECT IN
 FOREIGN MARKET
(Guaranty Trust Co.,, N. Y.)


 Recent action by the Federal Re serve Bank of New York in raising the rediscount rate on commercial paper to per cent, the heavy over subscription of the $25,00O,OOO Bel slan loan, further marked declines in foreign exchange, and the bid for North American capital made by the Lat1n-American countries at the sec ond Pan-American Financial Confer ence have all helped to throw into sharp relief the dominant need of the moment-the husbanding and careful distribution of American credit for the reconstructive necessities of the world. Banks have taken the lead in help ing to curtai1 the use of the credit Tor merely speculative purposes, and are eXerting every effort to strengthen their reserves.
 During the week ending January 16, the Federal Reserve Bank of New 1 York borrowed no less than 79 1-2 million dollars from other Reserve Banks in the system. As a result it was able to maintain it's reserves above the legal limit. In other words. 1 the whole reserve system is meeting i the test of a serious situation with i smoothness and efficiency. With it stands the decision of the New York | Clearing House Banks to limit to l-4 per cent, the interest that will be ! paid on deposits made with them by | other banks This, too, will certainly l tend to increase the mobility of avail l able banking resources, and favor the 1 operations of productive industry and 1 commerce.
 1 The Money Market and Foreign Trade.
 l All of the decisions and actions 1 will have a strong indirect influence 1 on the extension of American trade | in foreign markets. Nothing is more | essential to restoring a normal bal ance of trade between America and l power of the United States to lend to l foreign countries and customers The double subscription to the Bel gian loan only emphasized this. The American investing public showed it's | complete confidence in the ultimate restoration of Belgian industry and 1 commerce, and likewise indicated it's | When your whistle sounds, what's to

growing readiness to invest heavily in foreign markets. But disposition is not enough.
 The actual funds or credit must be available. They must not be wasted in mere speculative activity. This is the central meaning of most of the financial events of the last fortnight.
