BRIDGEPoRr AND rRoLLEYs.

More than Bridgeport is interested in the situation which has developed in that city whereby the Connecticut company has given notice to the effect that it's street car service on certain routes at least will be discontinued after certain . date unless something is done in the way . of eliminating the unjust competition . that is now carried on by the jitneyA , Bridgeport of course is in no different position than other cities which have been made to recognize that very situa- .sion. Where it has come to a show down elsewhere it has invariably resulted in .eile- restriction of the jitneys, because after experiencing the effects of the withdrawal of the street cars it was ap- .hreciated that they could not be parted With. They render a service for which the jitneys ere not a substitute. Also there are obligations which a city owes ID a corporation which has made large Uutlays in the effort to serve the public, and which is entitled to fair considera- fion and treatment in meeting present day costs and rendering service with out being forced to carry on a losing husiness and possibly somewhat infer 1or service because others are unjustly allowed to take it's revenue away.
 2. With a street car company establish ed. a city or state would not think of giving another company the right to parallel its system. Where additional service is encouraged and other compan- iss are permitted to do business they are tequired to follow other routes and serve unserved sections yet the jitneys are of course depending upon their existence by taking away the business of an estab- !ished concern without any obligations to the public.
 T. is difficult to understand how Bridgeport can afford to permit the zBandonment of It's trolley lines and try 10 depend upon a there tomorrow service. It is like casting aside certainty which can be improved with encouragement and taking up with s-rank uncertainty. Bridgeport may need YtRey service but it should be kept of hearoutes of the street cars.

SUGGESTIONS TO

THE HOUSEWIFE
 When mixing blacking for the stove, use tea instead of water.
 Rub nickel with black polish and rub until dry.
 Keep small bottle of creolin in bath room. It saves lots of steps.
 Never put good cloth in the rags. Make bag and keep it in the kitchen closet and put all such pieces into it. Then when a cloth is needed for clean ing it is always handy. Use the wax paper from bread or corn flakes on ironing day. It keeps fine, smooth iron. Put pinch of baking soda in the milk to keep it fresh, as it is much bet ter than boiling it.
 If your cream is too thin to whip add the unbeaten white of fresh egg. You will have some excellent whip cream For fruit stained fingers when pre- serving dip the fingers in leftover tea rubbing the nails with brush, then wash in soap and warm water. If lemons lie in cold water a little while they will grate much more easi- ly and quickly than otherwise. Wrap cheese in a piece of muslin or cheesecloth that has been dipped in vinegar and put in covered dish and l it will not dry or mould. Remove onion stains by rubbing the hands with a stick of celery. To shorten a leather belt cut off the end the buckle is on and measure the desired length, make a hole in the end and put on the buckle and sew in place To open can of salmon begin al the seam on the side near the top oi can and cut around to the seam. The contents will come out whole.

LAUNDRY HINTS.

Always choose bright, sunny day for blanket washing.
 If you have big enough room and drying rack for ironed clothes that can be pulled up to the ceiling, where pull leys hold it, it is convenience. A high ceiling is neede, however, to ac- commodate this convenience.
 A fur rug can be cleaned by washing it with hot water and soda. Rub the hair well with soap, rinse well in cold water and dry outdoors. If the fur is matted brush, comb and beat vigor- usly.
 A clothesline made of wire often rusts. This trouble may be eliminated by painting the line with light color : ed paint or enameling it. The process also saves labor, as the only cleaning necessary is the application of a damp cloth immediately before the line is to be used. t
 A simple thing is little glass clothes sprinkler. It makes sprinkling clothes an easy matter. It consists of a glass bottle with a perforated top through which the water is sprinkled. The bot tie has two bulges, one for the water and the other for the perforated top It works admirably,

THE INrDKCnuECn MoyEAENr.

By the decisiaa Of the general eon,- mittee named to determine the fafa. 2 course. the iltershufch world movement is not dead. It is not even going 70 be allowed to sleep but will be kep. a.lye and made to approach the desired goal under a policy that will eliminate the tremendous operating cost, which during the nfefths while it was being set in motion ran up to staggering amounts. Under the contemplated plan, Swnicn is to De worked out by special conanittee, the movement is going to be continue|l under greater economy and what t is hoped will be greater efficiency Mmey in the beginning and when it is use it will be with the idea of eliminating waste.
 While certain of the large dencmina- tions have withdrawn from the move ment they will nevertheless make good their pledges. They don't want to dAfest the admiral object of the undertaking that Of reaching the great number of unchurched people, but they had be.on1e convinced that the methods that were being employed under the original plan would not carry through. The idea that all was required was to ask for the nec- essary money. and to hold no check rein on the outlay to get it regardless of the results being produced was ambitious but not so convincing as to be able to with stand the attacks on the expenditures
 For time it seemed possible that the movement would be abandoned but from the survey that has been made of the situation, and the investigation into the financial condition. the general commit tee apparently sees an encouraging out look in spite of the withdrawals and other handicaps
 Under a budget of not over s75o0t the movement will continue to do busi- ness. It will move more slowly but ir moving along with greater confidence on the part of the packers there is no tell. ing but what it will be quite as sue. cessful as if it had gotten all it's sough. and kept up its extensive use of money In an effort where it should be realized there must also be work.

 While it is not claimed, says the banks statement, that all of the above | named articles are properlys included in the 'luxuries' class, 1t is re mark able to what extent these big increas- l es do occur in actual luxuries. On the other hand, the increase in fnanufac = 1 turing material also shows a trernend -' ous gain, since the grand total Of raw 1 material for use, in manufacturing shows for 1920 over $9,0ee, ,e0o, 600 against ssSS, 1000, 900 in 1914.
 Of course, a considerable share Of the above increase is due to the high CT price of the articles enumerated, but in large part to actual increases in quantity.

SWEATERS USED AS CARE OF ECONOMY

The sweater is an increasingly sur prising part of our present day ward robe. It is what the old time jersey used to be. It is more than that. It is the very cloak of charity itself. For it has come to be an accepted part of modern clothing that no woman is without. We accept it as we accept hats or gloves. Indeed, we wear sweat CTS rather oftener than we do gloves in these days of flexible fashion and high priced kid.
 So the sweater is with us as pre- manent part of our clothing accessor- ies, and it is indeed more than an ac- cessory. The other day woman ent shopping-to buy, as she said, half a dozen sweaters to cover her summer clothes needs. She had couple of in- teresting separate skirts, one a Scotch plaid, one a silk of a new creped weave in a silvery blue shade. With suitable sweaters and with white wash skirts she expected to be dressed from get ting up time until dinner time without more ado. A few simple wash blouses and some other vests of washable ma terial and the thing was done. She fastened the vests on washable net bodices to which shields could be sew ed and wore them under the sweaters And there she was, as dainty comfort able and suitable as she could wish.

FACTS REGARDING THE
 CARE OF THE BABY By U. S. Public Health Service.
BREAST FEEDING

Mothers milk is the best and cheap est food for the baby. It will make the baby strong and healthy Mothers milk is always ready and 1t never sours. It does not have to be prepared or meas ured It is practically always safe. Mothers milk contains the proper ele- ments of food in the right proportion for the growing child.
 The baby will have the best chance of living if he is breast fed. Ten bottle-fed babies die to one fed at the breast. It is seldom that breast-fed babies have bowel-trouble, which is so fatal in bot tle-fed babies, especially during hot weather.
 The newborn baby is put to the breast when he is five or six hours old During the first twenty-four hours he should nurse not more than four times. but at both breasts each time. A new born baby may be given plain cool boiled wat CT at regular intervals between nursing. Do not give him any kind of tea, or other mixture.
 Beginning with the second day, baby should nurse every 1-2 to three hours. On the three hour schedule he nurses at six nine and twelve a. m.. until four months old. Alternate each breast or let IllIH lake OoLn DTedStS dl cdSn LitiiS, dS- cording to his s-appetitie and the amount of milk. In the event the milk is de- layed longer than the third day, baby should be put to the breast regularly in order to stimulate the flow of milk.
 The average healthy baby. until 1t ia four months old. nurses every three hours. When he is six months old, nurse every four hours, usually giving both br@sts each time. This makes five nurs- ings in twenty-four hours--four during the day and ore at night, as follows: a. m.; 10 a. m. ?. nn. ?. m, 10 D. m.
 It is necessary to follow regular hours for nursing. If baby is fed every time he cries his digestion sooA will be upset If he cries between feedings, give him plain. cooled boiled water. Babies are al likely to cry from overlooking as iron, hunger. Of the breast milk seems In. sufficient for your baby do not give ur nursing him, but after each feeding give Ehim what he wants of properly modified milk. Every breast feeding and every ounce of breast milk is just that much gained for your baby.l

FIRE DESTRUCTION IN
FORESTS Is REDUCED

SPECIAL conREsponoIRcE 70 MORNING JOURNAL
San Francisco, Calf, Jan. 1.-The
forest service has been able in Cali
fornia, through comprehensive plans,
complete organization and execution,
and cooperation from timber owners
and the public, to reduce in the past
twelve years the annual fire destruc-
ton of merchantablc timber in the
national forests in that state by 81
per cent or some 40 million feet.
That fires started by lightning were
of common occurrence in the pine
forests of northern California as early
as 1880 is a fact established, says tn ?
district forester at San Francisco, by
the examination of old fire scars on
still living trees Naturally none of
the trees examined had survived
every one of the many fires recorded
the past two or three hundred years,
but several bore scars from which
were traced the occurrence of more
than twenty conflagrations, each one
separated by a number of years. One
tree, the Oldest examined in Plumas
county, has very evidently survived
thirty-five separate and distinct
fires. Because it is evident that these
fires were not holocausts- because
much of the area over which they
burned still bears merchantable tim
.ber, some have questioned the need of
extensive fire protection in California
forests or of particular attention to
the light ground fire. 1t is estimatedl
however, that ground fires in Cali
foruia actually destroy on the aver
age. Y lrSSsfeet OF timber per acre. or
