Historical Event t o Draw Talent From
 Near and
 Far.

Peace and war will be shownsin all its trimmings at the historical pa geant and town fair to be given in Westport on July 2 and 4. This great preparations for this big event which is to be participated in by folks from near and far.
 Bridgeport is. more than ordinarily interested, and the "Black Snakes composed of local people, and headed by Harvey c. Went, physical instruc- tor in the public schools, will take an active part in the pageant and will also do some war dances.
 Peaceful scenes will also be present ed One of the interesting features will be a Mav-poIe dance given by group of little children four years old.
 A number of the early settlers of Westport are volunteering to appear in the pageant. Some of them have costumes worn by men and women in o1den times and others have de- scriptions of clothing which will make it possible to get exact repro auctions. The Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution also are part In the wedding scene the char acter of the Rev. MT. Elliot who married Dorothy Quincy and John Hancock will be taken by David H. s. Huntington of Fairfield. The bride and bridegroom also come from Fairfield. Katherine Burr will take the part of Dorothy Quincy and Clyde Buckingham will represent John Hancock. This wedding scene will be a charming and brilliant part of the pageant.
 Washington Stopped There.
 There is a real historical flavor about Dr. F. D. Ruland'S estate where the pageant is to be held It has been said on good authority that General Washington himself passed near it and stopped there for a little time. It is not unreasonable to sup pose that some of his weary soldiers may have stepped into the stream to wash the dust from their tired bodies. They may have even eaten their suppers there in the refreshing shad- ows just as it is hoped that every one is going to do on July and 4. For there will be a cafeteria supper of real New England food served in a New England way with Colonial maids and matrons 4n attendance
 To make the acting as real as possi- ble, the finest horses and the best looking cows, pigs and goats in the county will take part in the early set tiers scenes. Oxen which are all most an extinct-species in most states, will be on hand to chew their cuds and gaze calm-eyed at the au-

Lusitania Victims Discovered b,
Red Cross

Far from the scene of the tragedy
there have been discovered in the
Aran Islands off the north coast Ut
Ireland, the graves Of two young
women victims of the Lus;tania hor-
ror. Efforts are being made by the
American Red Cross to solve the
mystery of their identity. The only
clues are the name of one, Annie
Wolverman, and the initials Of the
other, 81. G. c." Whether they were
Americans can only be conjectured,
for so far as has been learned no
inquiry concerning their fate has
ever been made.
1t was during field visit Of a
worker connected with the London
Chapter OF the American Red Cross
that the graves were found at Kill
roman. where the bodies of these two
victims were washed ashore. The
natives gave the bodies decent burial
and an American Red Cross worker
with the help OF friend in New
York raised enough money to mark
each of the graves with a headstone
IN the form of pillar and cross.
similar to memorials that are to be
seen all along the road leading to the,
little burying ground.
The initials 81. G. c." were de-
ciphered from wrist-watch worn
by one of the young women. while
the name Annie Wolverman appear
ed on an envelope addressed to the
Lusitania which was found in the
otner's clothing. Nothing else abont
tne bodies furnished clue to thei.
identity.

Red Cross Notes
Accidents Kill More Persons Than
Cancer

Accidents kill more people in tine
United States in one year than the
much-dreaded scourge of cancer, ac-
cording to compilation of statis-
tics Just completed by the American
Red Cross. There were $4,000
deaths by accidents in 1918, the
latest year for which figures are
now available.
Automobile fatalities have in
creased tenfold during the last de-
cade. the statement continues. Nine
ty people out of each million of pop
ulation were killed by automobiles
in 1918 as compared with ten per
million annually from 1906 to 1910.
While slaughter by automobiles has
thus increased, it is pointed out, the
safety movement in America has
appreciably reduced the number CT
deaths on railway and trolley tracks.
The following table, prepared
from mortality statistics Of the Blu
reau of Census, shows the number
and per cent distribution of deaths
from accidents of varies kinds in the
United States in 1918, when acct

ARE
 GOING TO START
 TALKING OUT LOUD

New York-Feminists in America are threatening to startle the coun- try by saying out loud the things they have been thinking to themselves for the past decade. Gradually but sure ly even the deeds of the. militant suf- fragists have become passe to them- One hears whisperings of what the American feminists might say if she once started talking about woman and man.
 Not that that she would be at all anti-male. But she wouldn't waste any time discussing equal laws for men and women and she would not dissert-on welfare bills or mother pension.
 Anybody believes in those re- for1ns'' says the young feminists, ''but what the American feminist is going to say-the real feminist-is something startling.
 ''Why I don't know anyone who goes to church anymore" said Miss Bessie Beatty Magazine Editor to- day.- except a lone man I met the other day, and I can't imagine femin- ists getting excited over church dis cuSSionS.

POPE BENEDICT
 MAY TAKE UP
 IRISH QUESTION

Rome.-Pope Benedict XIV may deal with the Irish question at 2 pub lie consistory in March. Two con sistories will meet at the Vatican, one private for the creation of new cardinals, the other public. The date of the secret consistory has been tentatively set for March z, the pub take place about March 10.
 The view is held that all the new cardinals created will be from out side of Italy, and it is certain that one of them will be an American, all though his identity is not yet abso- lutely certain so close is the veil of secrecy thrown over such matters by the Papal Court. There seems to be good reason to believe, however, that Archbishop Patrick J. Hayes of New York city, has ceased to be a cardinal-ate possibility.

ATTEND HEARING
 ON INCREASES IN
 TOWN CLERKS FEES

Town Clerk C. E. winton tomor- row will attend a. hearing before the judiciary committee of the state leg islature on the proposed increases in fees for town clerical work. MT. Win ton will attend as a member of the Town Clerks Association of Con- necticut, but will take no active part in the discussion as the proposed ad- vances in rates will have no effect upon the local office.
 Bridgeport. Hartford and New Ha- ven are the only municipalities in Connecticut that will not be directly affected by the increases as in each place the Town Clerk is a sa1ar1ed ernploye and not dependent upon fees for recompense for his work In every other town and city, such fees as charged for recording. and registra- ton work reverts to the town clerk in place of salary. In Bridgeport, New Haven and Hartford fees for this work are not kept by the town clerk but enrich the coffers of the city treasury.
 It is planned to increase the fees to practically double the present charge. With the passage of a meas ure providing for such increases, the recording of a. warranty deed will hereafter cost $1 instead of 50 cents; a tax lien 50 instead of 25 cents; a mortgage deed $1.20 instead of 60 cents; mechanics lien 75 in place of 35 cents; and a discharge of at tachments 10 instead of, cents.
