A petition win shortly be presented
to the City Council asking them to re-
consider their plans for improve
ments in the vicinity of the lots about
to be purchased for the location Of
the new water works system. The an
nouncement that they will make
hitching racks around the water
works meets with opposition from
the people living in the community
who object to the Nth and to the
flies and other disagreeable features
that follow the hitching racks. They
would like to have the council build
the new pump house and other pro-
perty at the pumping plant so it will
look as good as possible. The state
ment from the city council that there
will be paving along the hitching
racks and that 1t will be flushed with
the street fusher and kept clean,
does not satisfy these people as they
say they do not want the stock in

WORLD OF MAKE BELIEVE

A rather curious and provocative re-
mark was made at q conference OF
woman workers In London the other
day, according to the Manchester
Guardian. One of the speakers vas
pleading for better working conditions
for the domestic servant, and added
that with greater efficiency and a
higher social standing, there would dis
appear a state of affairs in which "a
parlor maid on her evenings out pre-
ferred to be taken for a typist."
y 1t suggests an interesting and, In
one way. rather pathetic scale Of
ascending values.
And what would the typlst prefer to
be taken for on her evenings. out? A
governess or woman doctor?
And where does n reach the level
where there Is ne such sticking point,
and at which people are content to
be taken merely for what they are7
Probably from one point Of view
there is no such sticking point and a

HOW TO SEE IN THE DARK.


 EThe apparatus for seeing in the dark consists of a parabolic mirror about fourteen inches in diameter. having at it's focus a thermopile con meeting with a galvanometer. This apparatus is of such sensitiveness that it is conspicuously affected by heat given off by man six hundred feet distant. If man lying down four hundred feet away were to raise his head, he would thereby uncon- sciously signal his presence. The apparatus to be sure, would work disa sadvantageously al time when the air was full of moisture; but on clear nights however dark, it could be fully relied upon.
 The conditions of trench warfare would have been greatly modified had this apparatus been brought into re- quisition. Its availability must be borne in mind in considering the mill itary problems of the wars of the fu- ture. Meantime it 39 not improbable that uses may b efound for the ap- paratus in the affairs of peace other than these of the purely scientific investigator. .''-R p r ted fir o m Science of the Month by Henry Smith Williams DID.

 Naturally, according to Mr Evans, there Is somef discrepancy between employers and employees regarding the best way anicably to settle dis putes, but both are agreed that the huge economic loss resultant from strikes should be prevented. This desire to abolish strikes and lockouts, MT. Evans believes. is the best indi- cation that the commission will be able to draw up workable piece of legislation
 :, The commission realizes it cannot create law that will abolish the un- derly1ng causes of contention between labor and capital said MT.

Must Use Old Money
 For A While Longer

We shall be obliged to worry along quite while longer with frayed-out, old and grimy bank notes, according to a circular letter received by local institutions from Federal Reserve headquarters. The Bureau of En- graving and Printing is working overtime these days turning out heavily embossed and many couponed Liberty Bonds to take the place of the temporary issues that were used at the time of the sale rushes. So it will be some time before the bureau will be able to turn it's energies to the output of fresh paper currency.
 The banks anticipate considerable growing by the public over being obliged to use the frayed and time worn money. The people have been spoiled in the last few years by the amount of spic and span new cur rency which has been circulated. With the passing in 1918 of the Pitt man act, which provided for the withdrawal from circulation of silver dollars and silver certificates, there came into being to take the place Of these a flood of new one dollar Fed eral reserve bank notes, along with a lesser number of fresh twos, fves and tens of the same new variety.
 Flood of New Money Spoiled Us.
 During the war, too,' these newly evolved Federal reserve bank notes replaced the gold coins of the coun- try, these latter being held as re- serve in Federal reserve banks. With the withdrawal Of the gold coins, the yel1ow-back gold certificates were largely retired and still more new notes used in their places So that, a great bulk of crisp, unhand1ed notes (s37, 100000 of it in this dis trict alone) came rather suddenly in- to use. Now that this great new issue is losing it's untainted youthfulness of aspect we are prone to demand the same sort; but until what we have now becomes really i1legib1y worn
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1920-08-06

we are told it must continue to pass among us.
 Probably, at liberal estimate, not more than IS per cent of the popu- lation through whose hands the new Federal reserve bank notes have been passing for the last two years ever noticed that it was something differ ent in the paper money line. Prob- ably as few of us realize now that there are three distinct kinds of paper money in circulation-the new Federal reserve bank notes, legal tender notes and ordinary Federal reserve notes.
 Big Volame of Reserve Notes.
 The bulk of our paper money is of the last named sort, there being some SS67, 100000 in Federal reserve notes in the New York Federal Reserve district alone, which includes the State Of New York, the northern half of New Jersey and one county of Connecticut. There are in the entire country, including New York, be- tween two and three times much money in notes of this kind.
 Legal tender notes, of which there are about $340, 100000 in circulation in the entire country, date from Civil War days. They were authorized as you can read on their backs, by an act of Congress passed on March 3, 1s63 There was at the time of this authorization very little gold reserve behind them, but in 1875, after a struggle which is of significance in American history, they were made re- deemable; specie payment on them was resumed. The gold reserve has continued to accumulate in the years that have followed, until now it is something like 46 per cent, which is somewhat larger amount than that backing either Of our other paper issues.
 The United States has never follow ed the Bank of Eng1and's policy of a hundred per cent. gold reserve. Back ing of our Federal reserve notes

~ElAlRL OTTE CHARiKlE.

Charlotte Charke was the youngest daughter of Colley Cibber, at one time poet laureate of England. If she lived today she would certainly be known as a, tom-boy, for she loved such masculine sports hunting, horseback riding, etc, and never ex- celled at feminine activities. Then a, mere child she protected her house from thieves by firing pistols and blunderbusses out of the window. When young she married Richard Charke, a vio1inist, and later went on the stage, where she was quite sue cessful Later she became a member of a stro1ling company of actors, and the rest of her life was none too pleasant. She died in 1759.
