Bridgeport has contributed much to the world in the way of ammuniti on- sewing ma achineS, submarines and such material things, but of late she seems to be making a, name for her self as the home of talented young musicians. There is Vera Curtis, so- loiSt, a prominent figure on the con cert stage, there is Ellsworth Grum- man, pianist. a member of the facul- ty of the Yale School of Music, there is Bruce Simmonds, recently arrived from European triumphs and there is the newest aspirant to pianistic fame, Adelaide Zeigler, who will give recital at the Stratfield on Nov.
 Miss Zeigler Is one of those per- sons to whom the gods give. much. She is possessed of a talent which promises to carry her far in the musical world. She is a Bridgeport girl through and through, the daugh- ter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph H. Zeig- Ter of 4T9 Wood avenue. She attend ed the Bridgeport High school grad uating with the class of 1917.
 She planned going to Paris to con- tinue her study of music after the completion of her High school course but Paris just then was too busy fighting off air raids and helping to win the war generally to have much time for music so Miss Zeigler decid-

 The total amount of the sinking fund last year, S14,000, was used, as follows:
 Serial and refunding bonds ss,0o0 1-2 per cent. school bonds 4,000 Acct. $100,0O0 school bonds, 1919 t4,eo0 Total $1400O The appropriation for election ex- penses last year was s750. The amount expended was s1,761.01, caus- ing a. deficit of s1.011-01. Special elections cost money, but if the coun- cil can change the defitft habit in short time the extra expense of one special election will soon be forgotten.
 The annual report of legal expenses is interesting because it shows no deficit. It follows:

WOULD PRESERVE OLD HOUSE
Plans Made for Restoring Structure,
Said to Be the Oldest in
the Northwest

Plans are being laid by the Vaucou-
yer Historical society to preserve the
old Covington house at Orchards. six
miles from this littie town. The house
Is said TO be the oldest in the north
western part of the United States /,
is of logs and is i'll runous condi
ton, being used as q sheepfoId. The
historical society expects to restore it.
The cabin was built early in the last
century by Richard Covington. an en-
lIoyee of the HudSon's Bay company.
when Fort Vancouver was the capital
OF the fur company on the western
side of the Rocky mountains. 1t was
the first schoolhouSe in the North
west, Covington taught the children
OF fur company employees and settlers
there. Mrs Elizabeth Bird, eighty
five years of age still living in Clarke
county, Washington was married in
1t in 1858 by Chaplain John McCarty,
stationed at Fort Vancouver. This
was short time after L. S. Grant
after his return from the Mexican
war. visited the fort.
When Fort Vancouver was owned by
the Hudson's Bay company, the com
pany was ruler of hree-fOurths of the
North American continent. Its do
miniOn extended from Labrador to the
Pacific and from the Arctic ocean to
the Spanish settlements in California.
1t moved its western headquarters to
Fort Victoria on Vancouver island
during the dispute between England
and the United States over the Oregon
boundary line. 1t surrendered its sov-
ereignty to Canada in 1870.

Mud Pie Census.

Doctor Russell, who tells us that In
a spoonful of good arabic land there
are more living organisms than there
are people In the United Kingdom,
has probably not wasted his time
making an accurate count, but there
is no doubt he is well within the mark,
observes the London Chronicle.
A French bacteriologist recently
caught his little son playing with q
mud pie, and, borrowing a small por-
ton of the mixture, carefully analysed
1t in his laboratory. He found it
teeming with microbes, but only took
a census of the harmful varieties.
He found when he had finished his
labor that the little bit of the pie"
he dealt with contained the following
germs: Diphtheria, 100000; measles
. 10000; smallpox, 100000; lockjaw,
3.HH@@i dysentery, 100000; pneu-
H."...;., 505,0OO; tuberculosis, 100000.
And The total of nearly II million was
only a percentage of the organisms in
.he delicacy.

Jokes in Architecture

The builders of the old churches in
England were not so serious but thai
they now and then perpetrated a joke
even in stone. On more than one OF
their creations they carved in relief q
scene representing q monk preaching
solemnly to flock of geese. The same
humorous spirit is sometimes to be
detected in the domestic architecture
of early times. Here is an instance:
Just upon the boundaries of Bed
fordshire and Hertfordshire formerly
stood rambling old farmhouse. Thu
living room was long and low, and
on the center beam that went across
he ceiling was inscribed this legend
IF you are cold go to Hertfordshire ;
This seemingly inhospitable invita-,
ton was explained by the fact thai
one-half Of the room was in one county
md one-half in the other. Tho fire
,lace was in Hertfordshire.
