B. H. s. WIN DEBATE WITH
 NEW HAVEN Team of the Foote Club Lose to High School
 Debaters.

A most interesting debate took place in the auditorium of the High school last evening when the topic, Resolved, That the formation of Labor Party would be for the best interests of the laboring classes was discussed. The affirmative of the question was taken by the B. B. Foote club, a. subsidiary of the ' M. c. A., of New Haven, and the nega- tive by the Bridgeport High school team. All members of the Foote club team pupils are of the New Haven High school The members of the out-of-town team were: Abram Adler, Jacob Shepatin and David Lear. The local team included Richard Weldon, Jacob Abeson and Richard Osborne, with Louis Cohen as alternate. The judges were E. T. Buckingham, Alison. Vaughn Abercrombie presid> ed.
 There was an astonishing differ ence in the way the arguments were presented Abram Adler as the af- frmative leader was the first speaker. He did not state the subject of the debate nor did he state concisely upon what phase of the affirmative argu- ment he was to speak. On the other hand Richard Osborne. the first speaker on the negative side, stated the subject and divided into four parts the argument he and his con- federates were to use.
 Various enumerations were given by the negative side to prove that la bor partieS heretofore organized have failed While they admitted that the present labor system was far from perfect, they stated, it was the best which could be had for some time and that = labor party would not in any way help to better conditions. The affirmative side reviewed the many evils of the American Federation Of Labor. In rebuttal to the negative argument that various reforms for the betterment of the labor1ng classes have been brought about without the assistance of a labor party, the af- firmative speaker said that the bring ing of these reforms have not been due to the American Federation or Labor but to the fact that the work CTS themselves refused to return to their various occupations until tne reforms were affected.
 While some of the finest material which could be had on the affirma- tive side was given in most forclful manner. Edward T. Buckingham, speaker for the judges, declared that the team work of the Bridgeport team was the merit on which the de- cisiOn was made.

IS VACCINATION NEoEssARYq

(By Simon Louis Katzoff, A. M., M. D. author of Timely Truths on Human
 Healthy
 Did you ever take the time to ask
 yourself the question: What is vac
 cination? Did you ever think of the
 thousands of innocent babes and
 children who have died from its ef-
 fects? Did you ever stop to think of the thousands of children who have
 become seriously ill and crippled by
 1t? Did you ever stop to think of the
 twenty Or more million dollars that
 are invested by the vaccine manufac-
 turers in the United States alone? Did
 you ever realize that many diseases of childhood are largely due to the
 facilitating effect of vaccination? Did
 you ever think of the many prominent
 physicians, scientists. editors, scholars,
 hacteriologists, statisticians and thinking people in general have con- demned this vaccination boo-ga-boo as productive of the greatest injur- ies; that vaccination never did pro rect, does not protect, and cannot protect one from smallpox; that many thousands of children have developed smallpox and other diseases after be- ing vaccinated a number of times These questions are very important ones to parents, and all persons who
 are interested in health and human welfare.
 This vaccination delusion, although rapidly losing it's former infiuence. still hypnotizes the helpless public of many sections Most health boards demand it, and usually do everything they can to enforce it. (Thousands of children go to the public and pri- vate schools in Bridgeport without ever having been vaccinated.) They do not know why they vaccinate; further than their belief that vacci- aation will prevent smallpox. From time immem orial it has been suppos- ed that vaccination should prevent smallpox and so thLS see no reason why it should be questioned.
 Vaccination means the poisoning of the blood. It is the introduction into the circulation of the dried pus- poison that exudes from a running sore. Those vitally strong are able to resist its influence and recover without noticeable harm. But many suffer severely, and pneumonia. diphtheria, scarlet fever, bronchitis, tuberculosis, ard tonsiiltis, are a few of the diseaseN that are often pro duced because of the 1essened vital strength and polluted blood that vac cination frequently causes.

MANY CHIL DREN ARE SUFFERING
 FROM H. c. l.
Catholic Charitable Bureau Seeks Help For
 Them.

Many children in Bridgeport are suffering today because of the high cost of living. There are cases where the father earns but SEQ week and has seven children to feed and c1othe. With even the most care7 full planning, it is next to impossible to provide growing children proper food on such a small scale. The problem is intensified by the fact that many of these men earned more during the war work boom and conz sequentIy their families became ac- eustomed to a higher standard of living and now find it hard to change that standard. Every charitable organization in the city is battlinS with this problem, The Cathollc Charitable Bureau is endeavoring at the present time to aid a number of families where the children are be- ing improperly fed and clothed be- cause of a problem of income. h every such case the employer is seen | with a view to securing a better po- sition for the man. In many cases, | this effort fails because the man has l been at his present work but a short time. Sometimes this Is an indica- 1 tion of poor workmanship on the | part Of the employee. In other cases l it means that a workman left his l former work to go into a munitions ! factory and has not since been able 1 to find himself. In a few instances i the father of the family is in fraiI health or otherwise handicapped So i that he is not able to do the work of an able-bodied man, and so is not l eligible to the same pay.
 There are also cases of widows who i depend on the earnings of a. young ] boy or a young girl and what they i themselves are able to earn by doing | housework or laundry work a few days a week. The cost of clothing especially for the older children in creases the problem in cases of this 1 kind.
 Every day some problem of this 1 kind comes up In every instance l the Catholic Charitable Bureau en- 1 deavcrs to help the family to solve
 their own problem either by obtaining
 better positions for the bread winners
 or by teaching the home maker to 1 make the most income is devised. A widow with five children ransing z
 in age from sixteen to three years IS
 making desperate struggle to make
 a proper home for her children. The l oldest girl earns about sS a week in a, factory. The mother-does house
 work three days a week. The con bined income is ST 8 week The
 mother Is most economical and does
 not wish to receive any charity. An
 effort is being made to help out by
 making it possible for her to take in
 a couple of young women, shopmates
 of her daughter, to board with her
 She has a spare room, but no fucnf- ture. The Catholic Charitable Burea u
 is making an appeal for furniture to
 furnish this room. Anyone wishing l to donate any of the following IT.
 ticles please telephone Barnum 4892:

Vei1s are not new as requisite to woman's apparel but veils as one sees them in the present fashions are ex- tremely new. They wear them very short or very long. They wear them very light and they wear them in every color of the spectrum. The hat may be of little importance-it' s the veil that counts.
 Of course, in the picture today. the hat, although very unobtrusiye, IS assured1y stunning. It is of luscious beaver in the natural shade. Tho veil, an enormous one of plain net, boasts a border of beaver, and 1t is this that makes it so distinctive.
