FOR DISARMAMENT

How thoroughly realization of the pressing need of dis is percoang through all elements of the public is indicated by the resolution of the New York State Federation of Labor which its of the efforts being made by the United States Government inviting other great nations to join with it in creating Disarmament Conference.
 This great labor organization record in favor of dis armament because realizes that abor and industry having to burden of taxation will be demorazed and the Gov will defeat the ends of national defence when it if it with constantly increasing it must do if it does not bring about n agreement to begin opposite
 These which weigh with this dvidual in the country becoming champion of the men idea If required to convince of the peratve need of disarmament is furnished comparisons made in the resolution and which timates

Bridge Work
 Will Start
 In 2 Week:

According to Frank H. Stuart, financial man of the T. Stuart & Sons company of Newton. Mass, who came to Bridgeport yesterday to sign the contract, work on the Congress street bridge repairs will be started within the next two weeks. Director of Pub lie Works J. A. Courtade postponed the meeting at which the contract was awarded and which had been called for noon yesterday, for slightly over an hour so that MT. Stuart could be present. The Stuart company's bid of $3S,000 was the lowest one re- ceived by the city.
 The prospect of work being re- stunned immediately ought to provide for number of Bridgeport's unem- ployed. as theer was a clause in the contract providing that local men be given employment preference. The final appropriation of the Board of Appor!tfonment of $41,80G to com plete the job brings the total cost of the repair work up to $106, 800, more than double the original estimate of the government engineers

WILL NOT LOOK
 AT WOMEN WHO
 ARE NOT YELLED

Angora, Aug. 24-Turkish men still
 refuse to look upon unveiled Turkish women when passing them In the
 streets or on the roads, despite the
 attempt of the latter to adopt the
 preachments of Halide Hanum and
 oher workers for the freedom of
 woman in Asia Minor.
 "According to our customs. 1t Is
 impolite to fiirt In public or address
 Or look on the face of our women,
 and I can't break the custom" ex-
 pla1ned a Turkish officer travelling
 with the correspondent.
 In the Nationalist capital of An
 gora, Halide Hanum Muf1de Ferid
 IIanum, the author and wife of the former Minister of Finance, and
 many other women who came out
 Nationalist movement, go about the
 streets or ride horseback with their
 veils turned back and folded into a
 handsome headdress, modelled after the Russian style.
 But outside of Angora, despite the
 example set by American women of charity organizations, or of the ex- ample of Greek and Armenian women most of the Turkish women strictly maintain the old custom.
 This applies not only to women of the households but also to the many | women seen working in the lelds or along the roads. driving OK carts or 1 donkeys laden with army supplies or wheat being exported to Russia, The custom of yelling has long | been modified to the extent that the face may be shown freely to the men of the village or of the party with whom the women may be work ing or travelling, but so soon as a stranger. whether Turk or European approaches, the veil Is drawn, If the stranger Is a Turk he looks straight ahead. as If the women were not present. If the European or Amer1- can turns his head to catch a glimpse of the women, they hurriedly pull the veil closer, so only the eyes can be seen. The older the woman, the closer the veil Is drawn.
 As the pretty gauge or thin clothes | of pre-war days. white. blue, black eI brown, cannot be had, the veils are often of coarse white cotton, and in l the case of the working women. the i cloth may be @ stiff heavy eottor which serves as a sun bonnet. Some times the headpiece drops to the | waist or further and can scarcely be | distinguished from the loose, flowing | garments so characteristic of the Orient. If the weerer be very poor l the veil and other garments may be but q crazy quilt thing of patches ot | all eo1ors and ~thicknesses, pathetic | ally mended and Drowned by sun and 1 weather.

Committee On Foreign Relations
 Gives Approval

(Continued From Page One) the United States assumes none of the responsibilities of the Versailles treaty.
 The treaty is complete and there will be no preliminary treaty or pro- tocol as has been suggested, the Pres tdent informed the senators.
 No suggestion is made in the treaty that Germany should assume respon- sibflity for the war, it was learned.
 The treaty, 1t is understood, is not more than 2,000 words in length
 The treaty incorporates most of the important parts of the Knox peace resolution, particularly those parts which referred to the protection of American property rights and the rights in seized alien property. The treaty was negotiated on the basis of peace having been already established by the passage of the Knox resolution, thus upsetting contentious of many members of Congress that peace can not be established by congressional resolution.
 The text of the treaty will be made public simultaneously in Berlin and the United States. It is understood, d, however. that as a. matter of courtesy to the German authorities, that there may be a slight lead in the publica- ton of the pact in Berlin.

In some cases localized headaches precede the hair fall for weeks or months In many such cases there is complete recovery in from six months to two years. The origin of the trouble may be ner- uousness; and it may be parasitic, or both- Therefore both const-t utional and local remedies must be used. The hyg1enic life has got to be led; and such remedies as contain iron, ar senic, phosphorous. strychnine or qulnine are indicated
 The whole head and face should be shampooed with tincture of green soap once a week. Before making any local application, remove the loose hairs surrounding the patches, with a pair of tWeeZerS. Besides To- cal applications Of salve or zine oint-

 The galvanac current has in some cases been very effective, the posi- tive pole being placed at the nape Of the neck whilst the negative is applied to the patch by means of the metallic roller. Any electric SUD- ply store will furnish a small gal vanic battery.

BLAZE DAMAGES
HOBOKEM PIERS
TIMELY SHIFTING OF WIND PRE-.
VENTS DESTRUCTION OF NEW
YORK WATER FRONT
Heavy Loss Of Property Result Of BIO
FIRE; Largest Ship AfIoat Was
In Flames; No One Injured
In Fire Fighting

New York-Shifting of the wind
early Wednesday night saved the en-.
tire Hoboken water front from what
might have been the most serious con.
migration in its history.
AS Ii was, damage estimated from
100000 to s1,OOO.OOO was caused BY
the fire, which broke out on army pier
NO. and rapidly spread In all d.
recuons, at one time setting the for
ward portion of the giant U. 8. 8.
Leviathan, largest ship afloat. in
flames.
Adjoining, on pier No. 4, were
5000 flag draped caskets Of American
soldier dead awaiting tranfer to rel
auves or nearest of kin. For a time
1t looked as IL this pier. too, would
be consumed, but slackenlng of the
wind blew the flames northward to-
ward the Leviathan and pier No. 6.
AT the height of the danger am
balances rushed the collins to a safe
ty zone, surrounded by American sol
diers from the Thirteenth infantry
barracks.
The army transport Wheaton.
which, for the last year, has brought
the soldier dead from France, was
lowed out into the Hudson and an
chored.
NO one was injured during the two
and one-half hours of fire fighting
that brought out every available
piece of apparatus from Hoboken.
Jersey City and surrounding Hudson
county cities. Fire boats from New
York lined the water front, pumping
streams into the blazing piers.
Fire lines were established at the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railway station, which early in tina
evening was reported to be afire.
Thousands lined the ropes, watching
the blaze, which in spectacular inter-
est has had no equal in the last de-
cade.
Flames lighted the entire district
and great clouds Of smoke drifted
down over the harbor and then swung
backward over Jersey City.
1t was feared first that the Leyia-
than was total loss. From the Man
haitian side of the river the giant
tunnels could be seen apparently in
the center points in a cauldron of
flames. Fire boast. however, which
worked their way into the pier slip

So threatening was the fire that at
one time soldiers were called upon to
remove mail from the United States
postoffice which seemed directly in
the path of the flames.
Apartment jewellers In several large
structures in the vicinity fled, taking
belongings with them.
Lots of army stores on pier 5 are
total loss, although soldiers worked
frantically to save them.
