THAT 15 CENT FARE

The public utilities commission having decided to try out the cent fare for short runs in Bridgeport for 90 days the Connecticut Company, it is reported has taken it upon itself to 'even matters up"
 To accomplish this the company will begin to collect 15 cent fares be- tween Stratford or Fairfield and local points.
 Chairman Higgins, of the utilities commission, is reported to have said that this will be stopped and 10 cent fare provided for in the zones in question.
 The commission wants to make a | fair trial of this means of making cheaper transportation for the peo- pla. The suggestion of trying out the five cent fare on short routes locally was made by Mayor Curtis. Others, not in official position have advo- cated it and have believed that this move would bring a greater return to the company
 Evidently it is not the intention of the commission to have their test made useless by other changes in fares on other runs than those in dicated in the order reducing the rate to five cents. The commission will gain the greater respect of all'if it adheres to this plan.
 Incidentally there has been talk of changing the great jumbo" cars into "one-man" cars, to make a greater saving for the company. Certainly this would be the effect, and recently words of satisfaction with the one man car have been expressed in the press,
 At any rate it is a satisfaction tc note that the commission will not per init a beating about the bush by the company, nor any avoidance of the issue raised by their order 10 reduce to five cents the fare in Bridgeport for short runs.

WISE HELP

The other day q man, with many others, was pinned under the wreck age of two elevated trains. Many were saved, and finally this particular man saw the lights carried by the rescuora, approaching him.
 The man had retained conscious- ness. When he saw the approach of those who wanted to help him he be- gan giving directions to them; he aid ed them in their efforts to save his life.
 Probably there is no describing the pain he suffered; probably he would have given all his worldly possess sions, all his hopes, for the chance to live that came at last. Had there been something of great material vale to him in the way he would have directed them to destroy it without thought Such is the love of life.
 Many a man has been pinned be- meath the expressing conditions which have prevailed through the last months. They have sought work, only to be turned down time after time. The manufacturers have been unable to plan way to help them if they would.
 Even in good times there come complaints of working conditions. The alleged injured remains silent work ing as he must, no matter what the conditions, or talking with those placed in the same position as he finds himself. Yet the heads Of the esta blishment may have no idea of the feelings of the complainers.
 Today the working man is pretty well taken care of as a rule, There are state laws by which he may be compensated for injuries. Most em- ployers want to aid their employees; plans are made to accomplish this.

YAJE-HhRNARD GAME

A due consideration of the result of the Yale Harvard football game on Saturday, brings out the significance of the trend of these times in their relation to tradition.
 If one will notice the events which characterize the worlds daily life and plans, it will be seen that, in this comparatively small matter, as in greater matters, traditions are losing their psychological strength, That many of the good ones are disappear ing, together with many of the less praiseworthy habits of the past, is natural.
 But that game shows, as is shown in world history now being made, and which has been made in the last few years, that men are less handicapped or inspired by what has gone before, than has ever been the case. Men are doing things their predecessors never thought of doing and that fact has the greatest effect upon the men of today-and the women.
 In the first place Harvard was not expected to win the game-YaIe was the choice. Harvard laughed grimly at that handicap--the members of the team were unaffected by that fact.
 Despite the ever-remarked upon ."hard times" more people attended the game than ever before on that field at Cambridge. Men of today in

DISARMAMENT AFFAIRS.

It is certain that France is looked upon by sympathetic eyes in her plea regarding land forces. The reception accorded Marshal Foch in this coun- try testihes to the sentimental feel ing for him and his land, but is founded upon realization of the po- siton in which she is placed.
 Regarding the Far East matters Admiral Kato's position seems to be summed up in his words: All that this conference can achieve is, it seems to us, to adjust China's foreign relations, leaving her domestic stu- alton to be worked out by the Chi nese."
 It is said that China has a concrete proposal to make, but the suggested arrangement between Japan and China, to settle their own affairs out side the conference, may prevail.
 These affairs" would include the withdrawal of Japan from Shantune and the relinquishment of the rail road and other German rights she controls through busting Germany ir 1914. But the leaving of these ques- tons as loose strings to the accom- plishments of the conference, would mar the general results achieved.
 The news of Saturday. however, is perhaps more interesting than later developments, the. result of which may not be commented upon at this writing. The report that the admin istration does not propose to limit the prospective limitation agreement to the nations represented at the con- ference, but will ask the participa- ton of other interested nations, re- new interest in the great idea, de- teated in it's original form, but stil living in the hopes of men-that oi a closer association of nations.
 The fact that this understanding, unless in the form of q treaty, would permit the whole American plan tc 60 through, including the scrap. ping" of ships, without congressiona action, is not the especially attractive feature of the report.
 The aspect that brings the great est interest is that which brings al indication that the necessity of tn, get together" action, represented il the league idea, is seen.

Pepto-Mangan Makes Red Blood Restores Healthy

It is gradually, very gradually that the effects of weakened blood be- come apparent. Generally there is a feeling of lassitude. It is like harm less, lazy heavincss and the complex ion becomes muddy.
 Guides Pepto- Mangan is the very first thing a woman should think of taking for stale-looking complex ion. It drives out the pcisons that ruin complcXions,
 But it is not only the effect that Gudcs Pepto- Mangan has upon the complexion that makes it so valuable. New healthy blood causes an i'm provcment in feelings, q return to the usual style of enthusiasm, sensa- ton ow warmth and glow, an appetite that eagerly awaits eating time.
 Guides Pepto- Mangan makes new blood, It comes in liquid, or tablet form, both having the same medicinal value. The full name, "Gude's Pep to- Mangan," is on every package. Advertisement

"SOME AMERICANIZATIONn

Report has it that there were jobs for 20 men Saturday morning at the municipal employment bureau.
 There were 13S applicants for these jobs.
 This, in itself is no cause for humor and it is possible that tragedies lie in the situation. At any rate those 1SS men wanted jobs, and the jobs were only 20,
 It was a time for a Solomon to be around. A Solomon might have exer- cised his ingenuity as he did when two women appeared before him each claiming that a certain child was hers. The Great King said: Let the child be cut in two and half given to each claimant"
 One woman remained silent, ap- parently satisfied; the other rushed forward and vowed that she would rather lose the child than to have him killed. Solomon ordered the in-  fant given to the woman who had protested thus. The infant belongs to her; she loves him the more," he said.
 There being no Solomon on hand Saturday morning. James Cochrane had to play his role. He pondered deeply.
 Suddenly an inspiration seized him. q will Americanize them," was his thought, realizing that poker is called the greatest American indoor game. So he wrote down the names on slips of paper and shufflcd them thorough ly. The plan was explained to the men. They nodded in many different languages. The drawing began. II wasn't exactly poker, but it possessed the element of chance.
 One by one the twenty names were drawn and the possessor of each name told to report for work Monday morning. Thus the 20 jobs were filled
 It was q fair way to decide the mat ter in this instance as there has been practically no city work going on be- cause of lack of funds. But here after, though the names may be drawn in similar manner, the. agen- cy will see to it undoubtedly that the lucky ones Saturday morning, will not be lucky again until others have had a chance to do a weeks works

this as in other matters, forgot the thrift tradition and turned out as though the economic situation of their own affairs and those of the country were 1ourishing.
 Harvard, having lost to Princeton, defeated Yale--another broken tradi- ton. Never before has the Cambridge team accomplished this 'come back"
 Yale has never lowered her colors to Harvard after remaining undefeat- ed throughout the season. The psy- chological effect of confidence help ed the Yale team not at all.
 And for long time Harvard has not faced team as strong at that which bore the estimated strength of the Yale team of Saturday. It may be said that Harvard's victory was the practical result of a wonderful tWo- weeks improvement, and that the Yale team was 25 per cent less pow erful individually and collectively than it was against Princeton. Be that as it may.
 But the greatest of all breaking of tradition, and the saddest to Yale 'sympathizer, was that Harvard came up from behind, and won.
 The changed times; the death of the old, the growth of the new and the breaking away from old, hamper ing bonds, is seen in all things.

PLAN FOR PURE
WATER IN CITY
City Board Authorizes
Sum to be Spent for
Filter Survey

City Director of Water ]. Clyde
Morris was yesterday authorized by
the board OF directors OF the city, at
a special meeting held for that pur'
pose, to expend a sum not to ex-
coed $1,000 for the purpose OF as;
tc6Ftafntlg the cost, Occurring plans
and specifications for the construc-
ton OF a modern filtration plant for
this city and for other expenses In
! cident to the installation OF such an
equipment.
The meeting was called at the re-
quest of Mr.. Morris who laid facts
and figures concerning the water de-
partment OF the city before the
board in order to thoroughly ac'
quaint the board with the condition
OF the water system both financial
ly and materially and then asked
that the board sanction the expen'
diture Of the amount necessary for
such an investigation.
1t is the purpose Of the board to
visit together with public spirited
citizens. various modern filtration
plants Of other cities, and to have
plans and specifications drawn up
by experts In this line and when
tits data is secured to lay before
the citizens Of the community the
project Of floating a bond issue. the
purpose Of which will DO to build
a modern filtration plant.
This data Will be convincing and
will thoroughly a~cquaint the public
with the project as q whole and Will
allow them TO vote intelligently as
to whether or not they desire suck
a plant.
With the proper filtration plant
installed here 1t is the conccnsus
OF opinion that no CITY In the state
Of West Virginia would have a
more adequate or better water sup
ply.
The board was unanimous IN
agreeing to the proposal Of Mr.. Nor
ris who is of the belief that with the
plant properly installed, and tho
stoppage of various upkcep ex
penses amounting to approximately
$4,000 per year that the water de-
partment would be able In the
course Of a number OF years to re-
tire its own bonded Indebtedness.
Such a bond issue would undoubt-
eddy be heartily endorsed by the
citizens Of tho community who feel
the urgent need for a better water
supply for this city.
