 The man who fired the shot was Edgar Pinney, who with George Ives was hunting small game and took a shot at what he supposed was a chip munk. The late Thomas McGovern of East Bridgeport, who was super intendent of the yard force of the car fridge company and supervised the delivery of the powder from the mag azines to the works of the factory was about 300 feet away, having just left the powder house, when the ex- plosion occurred. It was exactly 20 the shock came.
 From the Times of that date it is found that women in the principal streets tainted. Scarcely any of the larger buildings which contained plate glass escaped damage to their win dowS and some of the children in the public and private schools of the city jumped through the windows. A piece of brick from the building glanced off the head of a, man walking across ' el- low Mill bridge three miles from the scene. Several of the larger factories were compelled to shut down because so many of their employees rushed from the shops and refused to return for The day, while thousands went to the scene of the accident.

QUESTION DELAY
 IN UPPER SILESLA

London, April 21-Premier Lloyd George has sent a message to the British High Commissioner in upper Silesia asking why there is such delay in reaching decision of the upper Silesian question, it was learned by the International News Service today The Pren1ier's letter is understood to have an important bearing on the British policy in the German repara- tionS crisis.
 The Premier pointed out in his let ter that the upper Si1esian boundary question is to be decided, under the Versailles treaty on the basis of the plebiscite returns. He urged that an immediate decision be reached by the Inter-Allied Commission and that notification of that decision be for warded to London within three days

 The Drys turned again to the attor- voluntarily give up the Palmer opin- ion and reconsider the provisions in it chiefly under attack.
 Resourceful drys, failing in these moves, may take their fight to the President and ask him personally to intervene, it developed today. They assert that under the procedure ex- isting the President would instruct the Attorney-Genera1 to reopen the whole subject.
 The quiet manouerving developed an earnest purpose by the drys to press the matter of further tightening the Vostead act, as soon as possible to upset the effectiveness of expected administrative regulations. The plan of the drys is to rake forth the so-called exemptions in the Volstead law, governing liquors, wines and beers for medicinal purposes, relying on their strength in Congress to spike them with amendments so restrictive that will make it aim noSt imp oSSibl le to obtain liquors for medicinal needs.
 Legal experts of the dry leaders changes in the law ready to offer them if other attempts to anuu1 the beer and wine program, meet with failure

 Officials of the new administration have not publicly expressed views on these figures. but it is known that several members of the Harding ca6i- net regard them as refiecting more accurately Germany's ability to pay than the more ambitious figures set by France.
 There is good reason to believe that Rene Viviani, Frances envoy extra or dinary who sailed for home yesterday, was informed during his visit to Washington that the American gov ernment regards the French repara- tions claims as entirely too ambi- tiOuS.

LAST HONORS
 TO BE PAID
 A. |. ADAMS

The f uneral of the late Abe L. Adams of 307 Center street, who died Sunday, will be held at 2 o'clock this evening at the chapel of Henry k. Bishop, 274 Fairfield avenue. The remains will be taken to Otesgo county, New York, where he lived as a boy and where he attained his early education. He was 5S years old.
 MT Adams came to Bridgeport in 1883 in order to get some Yankee" atmosphere. He was mechanically inclined, and here took a course in machine designing and>also a business course. He went to work for 50 cents a day to learn things he wanted to know, for the firm of Coulter & Mckenzie and surprised all concerned by operating a lathe his first day in their employ.
 Later he went with HiIl & Jennings and all the time he studied nights. He patented a. chest of drawers and later went to work for Eaton, Cole & Burnham, being a contractor. His mechanical ability was becoming re- cognized and he went with the Co., Iunbia Graphophone Company, then known as the American Graphophone Company. He was the fifth tool maker in the employ of that concern.
 From there he moved to the Bridge port Gun Implement company, here he instituted an improved method of operation that saved a hundred dol lars a month MT. Adams went in business for himself in 1893 manu- featuring the Adams Art Auger Bit which was also patented in several foreign countries. At this time he turned his attention to corset nachin- cry, to which he has since devoted a great deal of his time. He has pat ented numerous machines and de- vices.
 He has introduced his machines and given instructions for operating in seven foreign countries, Belgium, Canada, England, Germany, France, Ireland and Scotland. He visited Eu- rope three times, and covered prac- ticaIly every part of the continent in connection with his business. He had always been termed a self made man.

poLLAR WEARS A MASK.

The dollar is wearing a mask these
days, fooling many. 1t no longer is an
accurate measure of business activity,
because of its fuctuatIng purchasing
power. An illustrations:
One of the big mail-order houses
means that its business is % per cent
less than a year ago. So it is-in
dollars.
But this company in September got
42,249 orders and shipped SITS tons of
goods. compared with so, SCI orders and
343s tons Of shipments in September,
1920. Actually business is better than
a year ago. To appreciate the gain,
and cheer us up, maybe we should do
our figuring in German marks.
DOLLARS THAT AID PROSPERITY.
Some Of the richest American fami-
lies got their start by staying out of
the cyclone cellar during the depres-
sion that followed the civil war. Cy-
clone cellar is safe. But, outside, you
can grab off the flying wealth
More big fortunes are now in the
marking. Six hundred and thirty -four
new business enterprises, with CAPT
talization of more than 100000 each,
started during October Their COM
bined capital is $500, 00o,00
The adventurous dollars will help
General Prosperity. Dollars set loose
in hard times the the hardest fighters.
Timidity is the milk that keeps bust
ness depression alive. That's what
Edison meant when he blamed hard
times on fear.

A DAILY MESSAGE

FALLING STARS.
~ o.. VIM. &. Rarton.

AIeteors are constantly falling from
the sky to the earth. There is no hour
Of the day or night when they are not
dropping. Only meteors of exceptional
size and brillianey are visible during
the day, but many of them may be
seen at night. Their rapid fall through
the earth's atmosphere heats them
white hot, and they are often con-
sumed by their own heat before they
reach the ground
On the morning of November Is, 1888,
occurred the most notable exhibition
of falling stars recorded in the history
Of the United States Most middle
aged persons have met one or more
old people who witnessed this phe-
nomena.
I have met men who declared that
the stars have never been so thick
since that night. This, of course was
all in their imagination. None of the
fixed stars or planets fell then or ever
fall in these meteoric displays.
This notable exhibit was witnessed
by Prof. Dennison O1mstead, Of Yale,
who wrote:
Probably no celestial phenomenon
ever occurred in this country since its
first settlement which was viewed with
SO much admiration and delight by one
class of spectators or with so much
fear and establishment by another
class"
To the scientific observer, such an
event means the passage of the earth
in her orbit through a spot in the
solar system where it encounters an
unusual number OF fragments Of what
may once have been planet or might
yet go toward the making of one, if the
material were sufficient.
The earth's mass must be greatly in
creased by the weight Of these bodies,
and the number that fall into the sun
must be vast, and may have no small
partt in furnishing it fuel.
There is nothing to fear on nights
when stars fall in unusual number.
nor does any especial religious sig
nificance attach to the event. The laws
governing the fall of these bodies are
well known, and some of the places in
the earth's orbit where they are thick
est, are definitely charted and the an
nual recurrence of the event clearly
predicted
Not all of them are thus located,
and surprises occur. When they come
they may be studier or enjoyed with
out fear. Failing stars are not stars.
and their fall leaves no vacant space
in the galaxy of the heavens.
The real stars are still doing busi-
ness at the old stand. The stars are
reliable.

OUR PROSPERITY DEFENDS UPON
THE FARMER.

Everything depends on the farmer
and his prosperity Cities, at their
best, are excess baggage. Without
farms. they'd perish in a matter Of
days. So. then. watch agriculture.
Farm extension work has passed
through definite eras. First, was the
county fair, with its prizes for best
yields. Then came farmers institutes,
lecturers spreading knowledge. Third,
was the movable agricultural school
with experts travelling like gypsies.
Now we are in the era of county
agents. home demonstration agents and
boys and girls clubs.
A fifth era is starting, says G. W.
Pugsley, assistant secretary OF agricul-

distribution to consumers and enlarged
social life for those on the farm.

MANU- - AbNt1Es
The Twins thought that it was time
they were doing something to break
up, the meeting. so they made their
way through the popweed tangle to
the place where all the fish Ladies were
quarreling about their clothes, and who
was the finest n all
They certainly did wear fine clothes.
Nancy thought, especially Mrs. Wrasse
and Mrs. CODY. Indeed, all Of them
would have made most wonderful of
Christmas tree ornaments, for t hey
shimmered and shone and glittered
and glistened with all the colors Of
the rainbow.
Suddenly Mrs. Boar-Fish spied the
little boy and girl looking at them.
Look" she cried pointing with her
queer looking. long, piggy snout that
was just like her husbands. Mrs.
Boar Fish was really proud OF the
family nose as she called it, for, as
she said. "a good long nose is GER
tainly a sign of character"
'Look!" she repeated Here comes
someone who will decide the question.
They look important to me, as they
are wearing badges like Cap'n Penny
wrinkles, so no doubt we may trust
them. Suppose we ask them who is
the most beautiful of US all"
Yes. yes. yes" cried the others,
swimming around the Twins. do tell
us which is the most beautiful so that
we may elect her president"
Nancy fell to thinking, then she said,
Mrs. Butter-Fish, for she stays home
and helps her husband"
but she has no tail!' accused Mrs
Blenny, Indignantly.
"And no nosetp answered bright Mrs.
Boar Fish, turning redder than ever.
OR spots, or stripes!" declared Mrs.

Handsome is as. handsome does"
quoted Nancy, wisely.
The fish ladies looked thoughtful
She's right" they said, ''we'1l elect
Mrs. Butter Fish, and now we'd bet
ter go home to our families" Which
