To All Ex-service Men:-
 If you were disabled in and dis charged from the. service, if you are sick and in need of medical or hospital care, communicate with Mrs. J. 1. Morris.
 Owing to the unusual and em- barrassing conditions which now ex- ist at Hot Springs, there has been relatively large number of men, mostly ex-soldiers and sailors, ar irving at Hot Springs daily with the impression that the government maintains a free hospital there, and that they are entitled to free ad, mission and care.

has been given these men in their own home towns by people who are uninformed as to what IS re- quired of the ex-soldier and sailor in seeking medical and hospital care at government expense.
 Hundreds of these men have reached Hot Springs with no morey whatever. They say they have simply been told by people to go to Hot Springs with their army and navy discharge papers and that they would be given free board, baths and medical treatment by the gov ernment. There are no such pro- visions made at Hot Springs. The army and navy general hospital will accept only referred cases, eligible to admission, from the public health service. The government is more than willing to care for our sick and disabled ex-service men. And l would like to say to our ex-service men in Lee county: If you are sick or hospital care, call on Mrs. J. l. Morris, chairman of Home Service, Lee County Chapter, American Red Cross and she will assist you and see that you file the proper forms, send them to the correct depart ment when seeking medical and hospital care. Form 526, Treasury Department, Bureau of War Risk Insurance, and c. c. Form 539, must be filed together with cer- tified copy of your original dis charge papers and sent to R. H. Hallett, assistant director in charge of compensation and insurance claims division, B. W. R., Washing ton, D. C. There is a supply of forms 526 and c. c. 539 on hand at the headquarters of the Home Service Department, l07 West Ches- nut Street and the chairman will take pleasure in helping to fill out these forms for all ex-soldiers and

Widening Of Street Would

The Trinity Episcopal church and the First Methodist church were rep resented yesterday at the meeting in the council chamber of the city hall to consider the project for widening Broad street by four feet from. Can non to Golden Hill street. Both churches are vigorously opposed to the scheme as they claim that their property would suffer materially through the cut
 Judge Robert E. DeForeSt, represent ing the Trinity Episcopal church. call ed various witnesses to show that if the plan were carried through the damage involved to the church would be in the neighborhood of $10,000. MT. Hawley, secretary of the First Methodist church, pointed out that their real estate would be practically ruined as fthe plot of ground is quite small now.
 Several attempts have been made recently to purchase the land, notably by one party which contemplated building hotel on the site, and the plot was always found to be a little too small. By further decreasing the size, he said, the value would be re- duced by about Is per cent.
 The total amount of damages to be considered before a. report is submit cording to the claims made yester- day, is about $25,000. In addition there will be several minor claims to be considered.

No Clue To Man s Identity

Efforts to identify the unknown e1- derly stranger killed at 9:30 last night when struck by a fast east bound express train at the King street bridge, Stratford, had proved unavail- ing this morning.
 Engineer H. Easton of the electric engine saw the man a, moment before he was struck but was unable to bring his train to stop until opposite the Stratford station, a, block east. The unfortunate man was instantly killed, the top of his head being cut entirely off, his body badly mutilated, and thrown over 30 feet from the bridge and part way down the embankment.
 The mans features are practically unrecognizable, because of the way his head was crushed. His face is covered by a full gray beard Medi- cal examiner William B. Cogswell, Stratford, estimated the man to be 60 years of age, and to weight about 190 pounds. He was nicely dressed. but search of his pockets failed to re- veal a. sure clue that will help solve the mystery of his identity.
 A note with the address of the Peoples hospital, POS Second avenue, New York City, is the only thing the authorities have to work with. The body is being held at Potter'S morgue Broad street, Bridgeport

BOARD DIVIDED
 ON QUESTION

(Continued from Page One) .. fuily expressed at the hearing. At that tune he stated that he thought that no married women should be engaged and that if any teacher became married her contract would be cancelled. Later Nn the evening he amended his motion to read that on and after July IS, 1921, no new married women be engaged as teachers in the schools of Bridgeport.
 Judge Pullman took a different view of the problem. My opinion" he said, ''is the same as that expressed by me at the meeting. It seems to
 me that it would be a great injustice to loyal public servants to let them go because they happen to be or to get married If they are experienced and valuable teachers their services should not be foregone. Of course if their home duties do interfere with their professional duties then it be- comes necessary to dismiss them, but that is because they are no longer efficient teachers and not because they are married AS long as they fill their positions capably they should be retained.''
 Dr. Alfred c. Zones took the same attitude on the question. He said:
 ''I am very much in favor of women continuing in their vocation, whether they happen to be married or not" Dr. Edward McGovern. on the other hand, differed slightly from certain other members of the board.
 T believe" he said, that other things being equal, the married women whose husbands have good positions and who do not need the
 salary should make place for the girls Many of these young gradu- ates of the Normal school have un- dergone consid erable sacrifice in or der to be able to obtain jobs in the schools and now they find that there are not enough vacancies for the ap- plicants. I do not mean that valua- ble teachers should be dismissed
 merely because they happen to be married, but my point is that many of the married women do not need the position and almost all of the young graduates do. So if the young girls are as competent and the older women do not need the job for their support, it seems to me that the un- have the preference for the posi- tions."
 Both President Ravens of the board and superintendent of schools Slawson agreed largely with this view. Each case should be decided on it's merits. '-I am not in favor of a definite ruling" said MT. Haven MT. Slawson is of the same opinion, believing that when teachers marry men who are fully capable of support ing them, room should be made for those who are in need Of the salary.
 It appears that the matter will in all probability rest with this under standing. Last night the board, after it's discussion of MT. Challenger'S mo- ton, decided to take no action.

 '"The main trouble is caused by an unfortunate state of mind left over from the war. People got in the habit of not buying anything that they could do without, and they have not lost the habit.
