HIGH SCHOOL
 LUNCH COST
 TAKES JUMP

Twelve thousand 1oaves of bread, 76,O00 cruHers, $500 pounds of beef, 5000 coffee cakes, 3S,400 buns, 100 bushels of potatoes, and 1s,SO0 quarts of milk.
 No, the above is not a summary of what was consumed in Main street restaurant, but it is a list of some of the things which were used during last year in the lunch room of the Bridgeport High school. Something of showing when one thinks of all the work involved in transforming this mass of material into the 18S,000 lunches which it went into and a good deal of a record for speed in serving them, when, by actual count and timing, it only required fourteen minutes to feed 1000 pupils, includ- ing their travelling to and from the lunch room which is located in the basement; and how many Bridgeport CTS knew that the High school had a lunch room?

DRY LEADERS
 TO TIGHTEN UP
 VOLSTEAD LAW

washington-Repor that prohibi- tion leaders in Congress were plan ming to tighten up the Volstead law have opened a regular scramble for assignments on the House judiciary committee which will frame the amended law, if one is to be intro duced at the extra session next month. The committee heretofore has con sisted of 21 members, 13 Republicans and Democrats The new lineup because of the increased Republican majority, will be IS Republicans and 6 Democrats. Regardless of this political division there are seven places to be filled, most of them on tine Democratic side. If all should be given to anti-prohibitionists the dry forces still would be in supreme command.

Still man, the multiInf3sionaire banker, and his wife, the former "Fif'' Potter which threaten to involve another beautiful young woman in this melo- dramatic mixture of love, jealousy and high finance.

Stif1man refused to see any reporters. but John H. Full ton, general executive manager of the bank, said there was no founda- ton for the report.

. All of these recommendations are from the report of Secretary Wyn- koop, to the Board of Education, as a result of an investigation which he has made with skill and industry. It is also recommended that the price of monday lunches at B. H. s. be increased 10 per cent.
 It will doubtless be a. surprise to most people that in connection with various activities of the student body at the High school that there is an annual turnover of more than forty thousand dollars. Many business of considerable size can not show as much. The size of this turnover is one of the principal facts developed in MT. Wynkoop's investigation of High school activities.
 The organizations involved in pro. ducing this turnover are the Athletic Association; the Criterion, the Girls Student League; the Players CIub the Senior Glass, the Junior Class; and in addition the Lunch Room and Moving Picture Departments.
 Some idea of the athletic\ activities of the High School and the interest taken in them can be judged from the following portion of MT. Wkn= koop's report: Hast year there were three teams or 27 boys competing for the varsity honors and positions and S9 additional boys were competing in class games.
 ''In football 3s boys finished the season while addition 9S boys came out for half the season of five weeks.
 Basketball Mas five complete teams equa1ling 30 boys and in addi-. ton a class series taking an approxi- mately 50 additional boys. Last year there were 22 boys taking part in hockey, 40 in track team work and 25 at tennis.
 There were 50 girls who played soccer; 40 who played on the tennis teams; 2 , on the rifle teams, and in basketball there were five complete teams representing 30 girls. There was also a second squad of 30 play CTS.
 "The approximate total of boys and girls under athletic training was 574 or representing about twenty per cent. of the present student body''
 Explaining that in view of the great amount of money turned over in the course of the year and the number of different activities with separate if nancial arrangements a general reor- ganization seemed desirable MT. Wyn- koop makes the following recommen- dations-

| that citizens and organizations 1n- dependently act to secure daylight saving by setting every timepiece in the city ahead one hour on a stipu- lated date.
 Chairman Beers is decidedly in fla vor of daylight saving in Bridgeport, and is supported by practically every member of the committee and a ma 5ority of the common council. With the sun saving methods effective in Massachusetts and New York and on the railroad lines running through the state, independent action on the part of communities is almost necessity. We must observe daylight saving in BridEeport or be subjected to a terrible mix-up this summer stated MT. Beers '1t does not seem to me a question of whether or not we should have it. but simply a question of the best way to secure it-''
 Employees of the Park City Sign company have registered their en- dorsement of Mayor Wilson's scheme for daylight saving. In a letter re- ceived by the Mayor today, six em- p1oyes of the concern announced their endorsement and desire that sun economy be effective in the city the coming summer. Mayor Wilson is in favor of having the system effec- tive from April 24 to September 30.

PRESIDENT TO
 BAR DISPLAY OF IRISH FLAG

Boston, March 1S.-"One hundred in evacuation day parade by their presence and attitude notified Ruck- man and Dunn and all officials that no Tory spirit shall be tolerated in America" declared John F. Harrigan, president of the Massachusetts coun- ci1, American commission for the rec ognition of the Irish republic, today in a telegram to President Harding.
 The telegram was in reply to a telegram from the White House in which the President placed his seal of approval on the action of Brig. General Ruckman and Rear Admiral Dunn in refusing to permit their troops in uniform to participate in a parade where the flag of the Irish republic was carried.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1921-03-18

Daylight saving is prohibited in Connecticut, and a city ordinance forbids the passage of legislation con- trary to a state law. Municipal ac- ton is impossible although independ- ent action fostered by the commun- ity is legitimate.
 Members of the Ordinance Com mittee, which controls the local stt- uation, meet tonight to thresh out the problem. Chairman Ralph T. Beers in discussing the matter today outlined the several courses open to the city through the committee Recommen- dations can be made to the council to repeal the ordinance prohibiting laws contrary to state statutes, thereby paving the way for a new ordinance legalizing daylight saving in Bridge port irregardless of other cities or communities.
 The safest and most probable course would be independent action by citizens fostered and supported by the city. Various civic, industrial and commercial organizations have expressed their favor of daylight saw ing and already advocated an inde- pendent movement
 Recommendations may be adopted by the committee and offered to the council for a proclamation asking

 Ardmore, Ok1a-I have been vim dicated. Twelve men have weighed the evidence and have cleared me. l am free-declared innocent of the charge of killing in cold blood the man I loved and still love. The jury did not clear me because I was a woman. The truth was on my side, and it could not do otherwise. Free dom means only one thing to me the chance to make up for the past. I have victory over those who con- spired with all the millions and power at their command to convict me-by lives. This is all the triumph I have had
 The past bore me no triumph. I had the man I loved, but the price I paid: I wrecked health, degredation, shame.
 There is only one lesson to draw from my hfe-no one can violate the laws of God and man with impunity.

GOOD REPUBLICAN ADVICE

Chairman Peacock's request that local
Republican caucuses next spring make up
their committees on basis of equality
between the men and the women and
choose delegates to the conventions on
that basis is an eminently sensible one.
There appears to be no good reason for
objection and many for approval.
nebec Journal
These spring caucuses should be held
about two weeks before the date fixed for
the Republican State convention which
will be held next April, and the town
committees should meet and organize by
choosing a chairman, secretary and a
treasurer, and should forward the names
and P. o. address of the officers and
members to the chairman of the State
committee. This should be done before
the State convention convenes. 1t is the
duty of the present chairman of each
town committee to see that all this is
done. In no other way can good foun'
dation be laid for an effective oreaniza-
tion

height of about seven and three quarters
miles, the previous high record being
about half mile less. An altitude of
four miles is certainly high enough for
practical purposes and perhaps the peace

for the present, if that altitude limit were
discounte by few rods.
