BAPTIST INCREASE
SALARY OF PASTOR
REV. LOUIS J. BRISTOW

II the regular conference of the
Baptist church Sunday morning, the
salary of the pastor, the Rev. Louis
J. Bristow, was increased to $4,000
per year. The announcement came as
a complete surprise to Mr.. Bristow,
who spoke feelingly of the kindness
and generosity of the church. He re-
fcrred to the fact that less than six
months ago his salary had been in
creased by S40O the year, and this
further increase, following the other
so soon, touched him deeply.

UNITED STATES STANDS
ALONE I'm STATE OF
WAR WITH GERMANY

Paris, Jan. 10.-Ratifications of
the treaty of Versailles were ex-
changed, and peace between Ger
many, France, Great Britain and
the other allied and associated
powers with the exception of the
United States, became effective at
Ats o'clock this afternoon. There
were eleventh hours rumors of a
further postponement, but these
proved to be groundless.
The outstanding comment tonight
on the ceremony is that it leaves the
United States the only power which
was actively at war with Germany
not now on the peace basis. That
was the note sounded by Baron Kurt
Won Lersner, head of the German
peace delegation, in a statement to
the Associated Press Immediately
after the ceremony.

ABOUT THE TROUT

"A trout that has grown to a fair size is wonderfully sharp-witted and very, very sly" says Ernest Warren Broadway in Trout Fishing for Boys'' in the April number of Boys Life. And he is easily frightened; it might be truthfully said that he is afraid of his own shadow Surely, as every experienced fisherman knows so well, he is afraid of any shadow made in any way by a fish erman, Even, the slightest shadow cast in any way by a section of a fisherman's rod will nearly always cause him to dart to a hiding place under a bank or under a tree root or some other refuge of safety where the lure of the angler cannot follow. A noise in the water near him will also give him a big scare. or else make him acutely suspicious
 t'Yet when there has been no noise or no shadow to scare him or to arouse his suspicious, he is likely to be a victim thereof just the same; or, he is suspicious, but not at all times frightened. If, for illustration, he is hungry and 8 big fat worm is wash ed along by the current right in front of his mouth, he doesn't think that a sufficient reason for him to jump or dart quickly for the choice morsef and catch it and swallow it as quickly as a chicken would a bug, sometimes big worms are not sucn choice eating as they appear to be at first sight. There's something about them often times that hurts painfully; he has had one experience, and possibly more than one, which has taught him the worth of being cautions when possi- ble danger may be lurking about. In this, at times, he would seem to pos sess an almost human intelligence.
 Therefore, any intelligent boy may readily understand that he as fish ernaan must be cautious lest he pro- fects shadows over the brook, make any unnecessary disturbances in the water, and he must learn how best to tempt the appetite of MT. Trout

TRAINS REROUTED

Hartford, April 23-The advent of daylight saving next Sunday has ne cessitated a sweeping change of schedules on the NeHy Haven road, the new time tables for which made their appearance at Union station yesterday. New trains have been add ed on several routes while some trains have been transferred to new routes. The schedule is based on Eastern Standard time but in the majority of instances the trains are running an hour earlier than their present time. Among the trains cancelled is the early morning train for Willimantic, which leaves at 5 o'clock.
 In order clearly to indicate the ef- feet the time change has had on the road sch edu1e the new tables which are being issued at the ticket win dows at the Union station bear a min iature clock on the cover with hands indicating the fact that the daylight saving time is an hour ahead of the Eastern Standard. Beneath is print ed time shown is Eastern Standard time, one hour earlier than daylight saving time"

DRAGON LEGENDS.

In all the absorbing1y interesting domain of the mythical and marvel ous, none takes precedence of the Dragon" the Winged Dragon who devoured men, women and children, whose special preference was vir-. gins.
 The writer recalls a great evening at the Metropolitan Opera House, New York city, when Jean de Reske, world-famous tenor, was singing the tit1e-roIe of "Siegfried," in Wagner's great music-drama, that when the dragon was to appear for whom Siegfried whetted his sword for three quarters of an hour of Wagnerian singing, the dragon appeared, yes, but as he appeared with smoking nostrils -prepared-he stuck. Would not budge. The machinery had run down, and that dragon was depen- dent on civic grease and wheels. The apparition remained just that way, to the immense delight of the most cu1- tured audience in the United States.
 The Dragon has universally been accepted as the emblem of SIN in general, and of organism in particu- lar. We have CD in Grecian my thology, Andromeda, saved from the dragon by the sword of Perseus. CD
 
 of the dragon'-motif in his music dramas. (3) The home of the dragon was supposed to be in a cave in the Drachenfe1s (Dragon Rocks), in Ger many, on the Rhine. You may view these mountains today. (4) We have the dragon-idea used by great artists in great pictures: one of the gems of the Louvre (Paris) is Raph- aePs Saint Margaret and the Dra- gon." The youthful figure is walking through a dense forest, alone. Under her bare feet, writhes the monster, ready to snatch her up. But she walks on in sublime ignorance of danger, the palm in her hand. An other great picture in the same gall Iery is 'FSt. George and the Dragon D St. Georges foot is planted on the beast. (5) In Holy Scripture, the tremendous prophecies concerning the Dragon and the actual sphere of the beast.
 The word Dragon in Holy Writ is taken for the Devil"
 He is called in Revelations, XII, g.. the "dragop," for his strength and bloody cruelty. And the Great Dragon was cast out, that old ser- pent called the Devil, or Satan, which deceiveth the whole world, he was cast out into the earth, and his an gels were cast out with him.
 There is a magnificent assurance in the 91st Psalm, for these times when mems hearts are failing them for fear and for the things which shall come after-sHThe Dragon shalt thou tram pie under foot"

Closer cooperation in industry and

DRIVE NOW
ON AUTOS
OFF LAW

In an attempt to halt the reckless
driving of automobiles in the residen-
tial sections of Bridgeport, the Traf-
fic department last night started
campaign against violaters of the
State automobile laws. Persons who
drive their machines with the muf-
flers open, with lights out or in any
other reckless manner will be arrest
ed and prosecuted.
Numerous mplaints have been re-
ceived of late, from people living in
the section west of PARK avenue, as
to the manner in which automobiles
are raced through the residential
sections at night. The practice has
reached a point where it has become
a nuisance, and Bridgeporters have
requested the police to take action.
Captain James Walker and Ser
geant Thomas Connery, of the Traffic
department, visited the West end last
night, and during the course of the
evening made two arrests, served six
summonses and warned the drivers
of rs machines. More arrests will be
made if autoists continue to violate
the law.

N0N-SUPP0RT

Whether or not George Davis, Of
EAST avenue, is d sufferer from tuber-
rulosis and therefore unable to Sup
port his wife, Anita Davis, was a
question which brought forth consid-
Aerable argument between Attorney
William Z. Burton, legal advisor of
4he Board of Charities, and Attorney
Lawrence Finkelstone in the City
court this morning.
Davis was arraigned on a charge of
non-support, and through his counsel,
IAttorney FinkelStone, put forth the
defense that he was unable to work
because of the fact that he is a VIC
fim of tuberculosis, the disease hav-
ang been brought on by his being
.Eassed while fighting with the Marine
corps, in France.
Attorney Burton, who played an i'm
young man, was inclined to doubt the
statement of the defendant. This
stand led to a, lively verbal exchange
tbetween Burton and Finkelstone, and
t3he latter showed letters from a ply
Isician in an attempt to prove that
Davis is indeed a sufferer from tuber-
Aculosis. The argument waxed hot for
Eeveral moments, but was brought to
an abrupt halt when Judge Frederic
VA. Bartlett emphaticaly remarked:
Gentlemen, the court will decide
this case, not the attorneys
After a. rather lengthy hearing, the
lease was continued for one month
tand Davis was released under bonds
sof $50.
