 Finished Now

The work of moving the Bug Light 300 feet :nshore towards the plant Of the I.ocomobile Company which mas been under way for the past O months is nearly completed and in another month the Bridgeport Dredge x Dock company which has the contract will have finished all work under the old appropriation.

 The Bug Light was placed in its old position 25 years aeo and a break Island quarries was built from the light to the shore.
 The 800 feet of this granite break water Is now being taken up and is being used as topping off to the west oreakwater.
 The blocks of granite which were used in making the breal<water are very heavy, some of them weighing is experienced in taking them up.
 Shipping men believe that the fall ing of in shipping at the port of Bridgeport has been caused by the lack of water in the channels which vessels which draw IS or 20 feet of water when loaded.
 The present depth of water in the channel near the dock is only 12 feet at present and this allows shipping ot only moderate draft to dock here.

FRENCH CLOSE
 SLAVE MARKET

Paris, Dec. 3.-What is believed to rave been the last slave market in existence in the world has just been wiped out by the French authorities.
 When French troops entered the sa- cred city of Ouezzan, in Morocco, a short time ago. they discovered the slave market still in existence. On the very day the French arrived a long caravan approached the city, bring ing in several score of slaves of both sexes captured by slave hunters in the uneXplored regions to the south. The slave hunters fled and the entire crowd Of slaves were liberated by the French.
 For many decades, perhaps cen- turies, the slave auction had been a monthly feature of life in Ouezzan n. The caravans arrived as rule early in the month and hundreds of buyers fiocked into the city for the auctions and the accompanying festivals
 On the day of the opening of the sale all the human stock was placed ln a circular enclosure in an open place near the centre of the city, Slave buyers wandered about discuss ing the merits of the stock like con- noisseurs at an automobile show Un- married women usually brought dou- ole the price of those who were mar r1ed and there was always lively competition for the most beautiful of the unmarried girls. The highest price was paid for nen with good physiques.
 the slaves were generally well treated some Of the women were received into their masters homes almost on euual footing with wives. The slave dealers were forced to share part of the pro- ceeds of the sale with the city.

Replacing Lost Bottles
Increasing Cost of Milk
Department of AgrieultureFinds
Dealers Make Up Losses by
Raising Comsumerse Bill

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.-Replacing
lost milk bottles adds TO the price Of
milk paid by city consumers, an inves-
tigation by the Department Of Agricul-
ture has disclosed, although no attempt
was made to 9ix the amount added to
consumers bill 2or this reason. In at
least twenty-seven cities junk dealers
we're found to carry on q regular traffic
in milk bottles.
The report says milk dealers "are
compelled to purchase 1.2 bottles every
month for each bottle they have filled
daily during that period" and con-
unues:
1.-THE loss among small dealers Is less
than that sustained by the large en-
terprlses. The small dealers have
greater breskage than Ehe. large dis.
tributers. but they are better able to
check up on the return Of their bottle.
and therefore do not lose so many in
that manner.
"Breaking bottles. losing or using
them for other purposes, selling TO
junk dealers or giving the bottles be-
longing 70 one dealer to another adds
materially TO the consumers bill, and
10 an economic error which each and
every senganseY ean help to reduce by
