Elephant vs. Flivver
 Bet On Big Fight

Perhaps the most peculiar bet on record is one made in Bor- deaux on the outcome of the fight between Dempsey and Car pentier. The bet involves an American f1ivVcr and an African elephant William J. Mckinley, Supreme Secretary of the Knights of Columbus, recently received word from a veterinarian named Beaudin in Bordeaux, that Josephine, formerly star elephant with the "Casey Circus operated by the K. of c. for the A. F.. F., had been left behind in the sal wage of K. c. equipment overseas. He cabled the veterinary to sell Josephine and apply the result to her board and room bill.
 Now K. c. Supervisor Fred w Milan, who went to Bordeaux to finish the deal, discovered also an ancient f1ivyer sometime op- erated by the k- of c. secretaries of Bordeaux. This he SaIvaged to Peter Doughty, former dough- boy now living in Bordeaux. The former doughboy instantly made a wager of his fiyyer against the veterinarians elephant that Dempsey would beat Carpenter on July 2, and the optimistic vet erinarian remarked that Joseph inc, the elephant would be ser vfceabIe for towing purposes when the fiivver was in distress.

Mortgages Do Not
 Pass Any Dividends

When we hear weIl-to-do people crying poverty because so many of their investme ents are not paying divi- dends, we wonder whether, in future, they will not see the wisdom of put ting a goodly portion of their capital in conservative first mortgages on i'm proved real estate, the oldest and safest form of investment, yielding a steady return at fixed rate, regard less of the fluctuations of business
 For generations, many of the most careful investors ia this Land of Steady Habits" have made a practice of keeping a small emergency fund in savings bank. and investing the greater portion of their money in well-placed mortSaS Ses.
 We would suggest to our readers who have money to invest, that they investigate the safety, convenience. and satisfactory rate of return. of the offered by The Title Guar anty & Trust Company of Bridgeport, Conn.,, whose advertisement is to be found in another column of this pa per.

 The adjuant general of the state has requested that every home should dis play the flag at half mast in the morning and that it should be hoisted to the top of the staff at noontime
 Automobiles to transport wounded exService men during the parade will be furnished by Harry Doolittle of the Doolittle Tile and Roofing company. All wounded ex-serVice men desirOus of taking part in the parade may se- cure reservations by calling Sergea mt Frank Mitchell at the American Leg ion headquarters. It IS expected that fully 300 wounded veterans will par ticipate. The automobiles will go di- rect to their homes previous to the parade and convey them back after the exercises.
 There has been a. large poppy sale up to the present time ana thCSe Who have not purchased them may pro cure them at all of the leading stores of the city.
 The Euiie Stowe Chapter, Women of the World War, will hold a special memorial service at the sida SoiGLerS pnHi anu Sailors monument at SeaSide Fark 8:3O Monday morning. All members are asked to be present.
 The officers of the United Patriotic Societies respectfully uiS0 citizens should bare 1heIr seaus IloI only when the first stand Oi ialloiIa tIea co1ors mass in review but upon the nassing of all subsequent StdIlos paio-. Tt is suggested that much Of the apparent lack of respect for the flag is entirely due to thoughtlessness and a feeling that it is enough to show respect when the first flag masses, In some European countries it is a penal offenSe to remaln un- covered on such occasions but as no statute covers this delinquency here, the practice of showing proper re- spect for Old Glory is simply py com mon consent.
 It is thought however, that q httle reminder on this subject Will not De out of place and that all patriotic citizens will be only too glad to give this small tribute to the national em- blem and all that it stands for.
 Among other events Of interest on Memorial Day will be the opening day at Pleasure Beach, BridgeportS ne" million dollar amusement park.
