The Peoples s Say

Editor of The Times:
 Some of our largest realty holders were asked to express their opinions regarding the lowering of rents dur ing the present industrial depression. In order to give a working man of small means a show and to help him. One of our local real estate men stated that the real facts were not given. The fact is that there are so many rents is due to the people leaving Bridgeport. In the Hunga- rian section of the West End over 200 families have either moved to Europe or have purchased a farm or have moved to work one.
 There have been so many remov- als since February that only those that are acquainted with the real facts come out and say so. still it be- hooves each and every one of us to know that there are SIP rents in Bridgeport, a large three room fiat with recently installed gas fixtures rooms recently painted, a cellar for each tenant, making a mans rent S2.75 a. week, how many landlords have done this made additional inn provements and kept the rent at S12. Mr. Fox is our landlord and we want to say we will stay in his houses The houses are located at 939-941 Wor1in avenue.

DEPOPULATTON OF FRANCE TO SHOW IN CENSUS REPORT

Paris, Aug. 6-In anticipation that the final returns of the March census will show a notable decrease in the population of France. Deputy George Bonnefous proposd to ask Parliament to reduce the number of deputies at the next general election, due to be held in 1924, by ninety-five seats.
 Including representatives from AL sace and Lorraine and French colon ies, the last last election of November, 1919, sent GIG deputies to Parlia- ment. M. Bonnefous also suggests that no bye-elections be held between now and the general elections of 1924 unless a constituency loses all it's rep resentatives, either through death or resignation or any other cause which would keep them away from the Chamber of Deputies.
 The net figures for the population of France will shortly be at hand and those already known, especially in the
 sase of large towns, a considerable decrease has been shown, except pos sib1y in the case of Marseilles. The population of Paris is much lower than in 1911, though on the other hand the suburbs which in France figure as separate communes show a notable increase

 CAUSES ANXIETY

Copenhagen, Aug. 6-Spain's anti prohibition attitude is causing eco homie anxiety in more than one t'dry'' or partly dry country. Threats of tariff treasure, trade boycottS and othc- steps in behalf of the manu- are having their effect, notably in Iceland and Finland. Norway alone seems in.perviouS to foreign wet" attack
 The Icelanders are worried, ac- cording to the Politiken, by the de- cision or Spain to increase customs duties on Icelandic fish unless the the importation and consumption of Spanish wines below 21 per cent. of alcohol.
 Spain's decision spells ruin to the Icelandic fish export, says the Poh- tiken's Iceland correspondent, who says he understands the government of Ireland intends to introduce a bill allowing the importation and con- surnption of wine below the stipulat- ed alcoholic content. Prohibitionists have already started a political cam paign in Iceland against such a pol icy.
 eovernment intends shortly to intro duce a bill which will greatly curtail inc mowers of the present Finnish nroh milton act. The Norwegian gov ernment. however, is taking an ex- actIv opposite attitude in expediting their prohibition bill and the gov ernment monopoly Dill, Independent of commercial treaty negotiations now going on with France, Spain and Portugal.

 There is then a two year gap in the nurses tragic story.

Unable to discover Kinkead, she returned to Cincinnati, but this month again traced him to New York, and, stepping up behind him as he approached his home. fired two shots into his body.
