SEES SMALL DANGER OF
 SALE OF FORT GRIsWOLD
Special to The Bulletin)

Washington, D. C. Octfl 25.-Old Fort Grswold and the surrounding reservation at Groton Conn, 1hay not be in danger of being sold in spite of it's being in cluded in the list of useless forts which the secretary of war has just submitted to congress and which he asks may be "disposed of Examination of the act of congress under which 1t was put in possession of the state of Connecticut reveals the fact that a certain customary clause concerning the right of the United States to resume possession does not ap- near in the Fort Griswold act. which apparently makes that right applicable only when the site is required for the use of the government whereas the present proposition is that the government does not want it for it's own purposes and so advises that it be disposed of.
 Fort Griswold was acquired by the state in 1775 and later conveyed to the United States. By an act of congress June 6. 1902, the state of Connecticut was granted the right to occupy it as a public park, the United States reserved l the fee in the property and also right to resume possession, which has been gen.
 orally accepted as without other condi- | tions. being attached Perhaps that will
 still be the decision of courts, If the mat ter ever comes up for adJucation. but the phraseology of the resumption clause | does not make it clear. That reads, after
 the customary preamble and granting | inc use of the reservation to the state o

 In the case of Fort Hale at New Hav en and other reservations these words are added "or for such other disposition as congress may determine" but they are lacking in the act of congress regarding Fort Griswold It is not known how the war department will regard this clause when it's attention is called to 1t, but t at least leaves the matter of forced sale in some doubt.
 In the interview which Secretary of War Weeks yesterday granted your cor respondent he referred to his desire that forts of historic interest and those in which communities or localities felt an affectionate interest or patriotic pride should be disposed of in way that would give the community opportunity to ac- quire it by gift of the government or at nominal cost by purchase.

 That bears out the statcmsnts of Sec retary Weeks when he said the govern ment was not trying 10 gain money by the sale Of such forts and reservations, but that it could moi rightfully hold them at an expense to the country, after they had become useless for military purposes.

COMMUNITY FAIR
All Working For Bigger and Better
Exhibit Than Ever

The Second Annual Community
Fair of Carneys Point-Penns Grove Is
almost here, bigger and better thah
ever. The decorations in the building
will give YOU a visit to the gardens OF
the world. Surrounding the building
will be a series of Carnival booths
rivaling the Atlantic City boardwalk
Kewpie dolls, Chinese baskets, snop-
ping bags, boxes of sweets, or me
size walking doll is yours If luck is
with you. A startling outdoor 1ree
act will be put on each evening by the
"Wizard of the Wire" The famous
Zu Zu Band will furnish a brand OF
entertainment all its own.
Thursday night there will be a
musical comedy with the finest OF all
that goes with it. Friday night there
will be an all-star vaudeville show,
and Saturday the big Mardi Gras and
masquerade. -
The commercial exhibits are especl-
allv attractive and will give the Far
visitors a chance TO sample the best
along MANY lines from Martha Wash
ington dainties to the best coffee or
cookies, and when samples give OUT;
one can enjoy the wealth OF color ana
fragrance of the floral booths.
The most attractive spot OF all
however, is the exhibits from the
homes of the Community. What feel
ing of pride the fortunate ones display
as they bring their friends up to show
them the blue, red and yellow awards
resting on some article from then
home. Exhibits of pies and cakes
canned fruits or jellies, needle work
or the products of the garden eacf
show the skill of some particular
home. The wonder of it all is the
work of the children who so quickly
have become rivals of their elders.
The Fair is to be preceded by a baby
clinic on Monday, Tuesday and Wed
nesday, from l to 4, at which TIME
babies of the Community will be eX
amined and chartered by experts an'
a silver trophy will be awarded to tn
most perfect baby boy under tw'
years and the most perfect baby gir
under two years.
On Friday there will be a bab,
parade for children up to five years o
age and a number of prizes will b
awarded on the old-time basis, to tn
most attractive looking one.

PLANT TREES
LIST of Trees Favorable For Food ana
Nesting of Birds


Home owners, in planting tres.
shrubs and vines, should take into con
sideration the idea of growing plants
tbat will attract birds, according TO
professor Alan +. Arnold, of the New
York state College of Forestry, who
finds that there is a possibility OF
many of our native birds disappear
ing altogether for lack Of food and
shelter
The list of trees, shrubs and vines
attractive to birds includes many OF
our most ornamental plants. There
is no more valuable evergreen tree Tor
ornamental purposes than the native
red cedar; it also provides the G2est
shelter and nesting sites for birSs,
while they find food in the berries and
insects commonly found on the tree.
The native Towering dogwood and the
Chinese Towering crabapple are two
particularly beautiful trees that are
favorites with the birds. The gray
stemmed dogwood, honeysuckle, Amer
lean elder and sheepberry are also
seryiceable to the birds, and ornamen-
tai. The Virginia creeper, one of the
most popular vines, furnishes nesting
sites for birds and draws the atten-
tion of the birds away from grapes,
apples and peaches.
dIf one has place where plants OF
wider sort can be introduced" sald
Professor Arnold, "and wishes to make
a special point of attracting birds,
there is great variety of native
plants that could not perhaps be used
/ for more finished effects, but here
would be just the thing. TheSS are
mulberry, tupelo and white spruce,
such shrubs as the spice bush, choke
cherry and swamp rose and bitter
sweet and frost grape vines. The
Towering dogwood mulberry, wild
black cherry, bayberry, American
elder and high-bush blueberry can be
counted on in general to attract the
bluebird, cardinal flicker, kingbird,
Baltimore oriole, robin and cedar way
wing. =
"The home owner interested in OBJ
serving birds himself, or affording
an opportunity for his children @the
farmer who desires to protect his
; fruit crops and the person who wishes
to assist in the conservation of our city
, and our forest trees, as well as ou1
native birds, can perform a great pub

AMERICAN CAMPAN
BY 7. 7. MAXEY
O, Western Newspaper Union.


THE records of past ages are
i authority for the fact that cam
paniles or bell towers became very
common in Italy and especially in
Rome between the eighth and elev-
enth centuries Almost everybody has
at some time seen a picture of that
famous old one of old st. Marks
Church In Venice.
= On the other hand, campaniles are
rarely seen in the United States now
a-days and yet California boasts what
is perhaps the most splendid example
OF a bell tower on the western hemis-
phere.
It is one of the mOst-pleasing and
graceful architectural structures one
can hope to look upon and is located In
the grounds of the University of Cal
ifornia, at Berkeley. The gift of Mrs.
Safer, it cost about 100000, is 0o2
feet high. approximately So feet square
and is constructed of California gran
ite with the exception of the pyramid
ally-shaped top-piece which is of white
marble.
Within the tower is an immense
clock and a chime Of twelve beautiful
ly-toned bells. These precious bells
were safely transported through the
submarine-infested waters Of the At
lantic, on their journey from the old
world. during the earlier days OF the
world war.
These bells. also the gift Of Mrs.
Safer, range in weight from 349 to
Ais pounds. The tenor or largest
bell carries the following inscription
written especially for the purpose by
Professor Flagg of the university:
I'VE ring, we chime, we toll;
Lend ye the silent part,
Some answer in the heart.
Some echo IN the soul"
