for the whole thing on the headlines
in The Herald. =.
That is a simple and easy way to
get out OF n difficulty. When in
doubt damn The Herald. If there
is no doubt. damn The Herald, any
way.
The Herald has no desire to add to
the perplexities Of the managers Of
the Peoples bank. It feels, however,
that too great emphasis has been
placed on the influence of The Her
AIDS headlines. It might be easier
to establish a connection between the
closing and the history of the bank
itself. The bank was organized with
a capital stock Of $4,000. The stock
was peddled about the country by
professional promoters who are re-
ported to have received $500 for
services. To pay. ten per cent
on a banks capital stock for promo
ton expense Is taking quite a large
slice out Of its assets right at the start.
$3.50 $780, -Ha-E
If the subsequent business Of the in
has been conducted on that
plane Of liberality any mystery sur
rounding the closing would disappear,
and it would not be necessary to
charge the incident up to Herald
1t is to be regretted that any busi-
ness institution in the city has found
it necessary to suspend. The present
case is particularly unfortunate in
that, according to The Herald's in
a large number of the de-
positors in the Peoples State bark
are persons of relatively small means,
who will be Inconvenience by the
Of their funds until regu-
lar settlement can be made.

him 50. He is also the same breed Of
animal which comes at you at night

dimming his lights any more than il
such a thing We're impossible.

such wonderful roads to invite every

hit him?
He is menace to your safety

Nobody believes college stories any more than they do fish lunch are really interested in the yarns spun by the bench of Fairfield County and other graduates of long standing.
 !. The extensive addition to the University Club carries with it the strong influence which is growing up in Bridgeport The old house on Golden Hill which is now occupied by the club was originally built with a tremendous effort to- be fantastic. The building itself was a good square, old fashioned building but the ornamen- tation was done with a scroll saw. MesSrS. Skinner and Walker are to be congratulated on their energy in tearing down and throwing away the ornamental gewgaws.
 The development of club made up of college and university graduates is bound to be one which will catch the spirit of the times as rapidly as any organization, otherwise our col legeS are wasting their efforts, and it is with the expectation of having on the top of Golden Hill club, de- signed to meet the conditions of life in Bridgeport, which will emphasize the feeling of the times in good archi- lecture, club life and customs.
 While the building now occupied by the club is a very small one, there are three private dining rooms, where small parties can arrange for dinner for some special occasion. These are continually in use and during some of the strenuous days in the court house, the judiciaries have been able to continue their hard fought out cases in one of these small private dining rooms.
 Pictures of all the easten colleges and some other colleges are hung on the walls of the University club and remind the graduates of the college days.
 The department for the women is an innovation and will probably serve a long felt want as a downtown club for the wives and relatives Of the members
