Johnson Is perfectly satisfied with his
berth at Washington and as far as is
known, Clark Griffith Is quite content
to shoulder JohnsOn's big contract for
at least another season.
Although the fans may not general
ly know It, Johnson had a chance TO

turned the offer down because he did
not want 10 leave Griffith. At that
time, Magnate Dunn Of the Cleveland
team was in the quest Of pitching ma

club. He made Griffith an offer for
JohnsOn-sal to be $50 OOO-and
Griffith took the matter up with his
pitching ace. Griffith did not want to

THOUSANDS GO TO BEACHES
Much Interest In Aerial Race Yesterday
 Afternoon

All roads led to the beaches yester- day afternoon when thousands of persons sought relief from the ex- treme heat and humidity of Bridge ports first real summer Sunday The 1920 bathing season was officially opened by record breaking crowds at Seaside park, Fairfield beach and other shore resorts within the imme- diate vicinity of the city
 Despite the record attendance af the beaches yesterday not one acci- dent was reported. As is. usual with ideal weather conditions prevailing the motor traffic was extra heavy. There were about 25 minor accidents re- ported to the police as a result of the heavy road traffic but none of the accidents resulted in any serious in juries to passengers and mo bad smashes of vehicles were reported
 Fairfield beach and Seaside park were the meccas for the largest crowd although the aeroplane race, starting at Lordship, between Miss Hope Eden, who appears at Polls the first half of this week, and Lieuten- ant Stewart Chadwick, drew thous- ands of interested spectators to that place. Nose dives and other startling air stunts featured the Eace, in which Miss Eden was returned the victor. It was the f1rSt ar race that the majority of Bridgeporters had ever witnessed. Movie machine opera tors were on the job and took "close ups'' of both of the ra;ers and their crew.
 Miss Eden was accompanied by Lieutenant Collins and Carroll Chad wick, brother of Lieutenant Chad wick. accompanied his brother in the other machine. Judging by the re- ception accorded Miss Eden yester- day when she first landed at Lord ship and upon her victory over Lieu tenant Chadwick there will be record breaking crowds in attendance at Polls this week to pass judgment on her mind reading powers. "If she can read the minds of her audience as well as she can f1y," said one of the interested spectators, "then it's a sure bet won't take SF'riend Wife to see the show"

 annals of the human race, such project had become feasible. The destruction of militarism, the crumb- ling of thrones. the dissolution of dy- nasties, the worldwide appreciation of the inner meaning of war and the final triumph of democracy had at last made it possible to realize the dearest dream that ever crossed the night of mans dark mind. The
 opportunity for service was as great as the need of the world and the fail
 ure to render it must stand as a re-
 proach for all time.
 It is said that if the dead who died In the Great War were placed head
 to feet, they would stretch from New
 York to San Francisco, and from San Francisco back again to New York;
 and if those who perished from star
 vation and from other causes co1la-
 teral to the war were placed head to feet, they would reach around the
 globe itself. At this very hour, mil
 lions of men and women and little
 children are the victims of our hesi-
 tancy. How can the heart of Ameri-
 ca be closed to these things?
 I have been many miles in this country and it has been my fortune to visit most of the States of the Un- lon. It has so happened that I have been in many of these States when the boys were coming from the front. I have seen the great avenues of our splendid American cities lined with the popu1ace,. cheering and cheering again as these brave lads marched | by, happy that they had come trf- umphant1y home- But I have never witnessed these inspiring sights with out thinking of the boys who did not 1 come home. They do not rest as l strangers in a strange 1and-these | soldiers of liberty. The women anJ | the children of France cover their 1 graves with flowers and water then with tears. Destiny seized these lads
 and led them far from home to die
 for an ideal. And yet they live an6 1 speak to us here in the Homeland | not of trivial things but of immorta | things Reverence and pity and higt l resolve--sure1y these remain to us In the heart of hearts where the grea | works of man are wrought, there car | be no forgetting.

CHE might. indeed That. wouid nave
- been one reason for not hanging the
bag 40 ,carelessly over the back OF tne
chair. She might have been temptedpn
she had been that kind OF person. py
the alluring jingle so close to her hand.
She might have seen that the bag was
still hanging there when its owner
started to 20. What would be easier
than that courteous standing aside az
the door. and then the easy, nonchaiant'
''pick up'' Of that jingling bag!
Yes. that would be very good argu
ment against placing your bag on the
back OF your chair so that II lay on
somebody else's lap--aside from the
discomfort to the other person.
Then there's another reason for noc
doing II IL the person behind you was
not that kind of person, ana mad no
| feeling except annoyance at having your
iingling bag resting upon her knee, the
| incident might have put her IN very
UNPLEASANT situation. Upon reaching the
door and finding that your bag had

naturally remember hanging it over the
back of the chair. Then when you got
back TO the box and found that 1t had
been removed from the chair and was
not on the floor or anywhere. your sus
picions would naturally turn toward
that woman behind you.

would have no way of proving that she
didn't take the bag-and the real thief
would probably be enjoying the contents
of the bag all free and unsuspected.
So there's another argument against
this little practice Of putting temptation

WORD comes from Paris that long
w sleeves are dsily increasing in favor
but as far as New York goes the alb
br"viatcd sleeve still looks too good to be
discarded. You must always reckon
with the fact that our climate is quite Il
bit moro trying in summer than is that
of Paris.
However. the sleeve that still occu-
pies first place in popularity is quite the
simplest sort of sleeve that you could
imagine. 1t is cut in one with the
bodice and ends above the elbow. II is
a JOY to the dressmaker. amateur or
professional, who needs vcx herself over
no cuff or elaborate trimming.
Now. although this simple sleeve is
still in favor. there is some tendency to
change the shane of the sleeve. There is
n fullncSs at or below the elbow that is
suggestive of Directoire styles. At the
