START FIGHT AGAINST
 TYPHUS

New York-A bulwark against the dread typhus, which threatens to sweep into this country from the scourage stricken areas of Europe was erected today at Ellis Island by Frederick A. Wallis immigration commissioner Steerage passengers many of whom are the "dregs of humanity" according to Commission CT Wallis, arriving on recent ships rom Baltic, Holland, French and nce'' the known carrier of the typhus germ. Recent inspections have shown upwards of 30 per cent. of the steerage passengers infested with suGh lice, Wallis said.
 De-lousing stations, such as tho american expeditionary forces en- countered in France, were put into operation at Ellis Island today. upon. orders of Commissioner Wallis. and every SteeraSe immigrant his clothes and baggage were to receive thoroueb olslnfection- Fourteen cases of Sphus brought in by the Italian ship Fresldente Wilson a few days ago are being treated here
 commissioner Wallis also reveaJad. l. That a subterranean system of snugsnng felons and other undesir- apIe immigrants into the United states exists among steamship em-
 That 2,OOO members of tbe British merchant marine have de- serted their ships in American ports wl1hln the past 90 days.
 S-That nearly half the immigrants rom Europe are women bereft of possinIe husband by the war, who are coming here, hoping to marry.
 Before the war but 3O nar oa,. or the immigrants were women ,' sald Commissioner Wallis. "Onr records now show that between 200 dai1, dau 1''0U females are arriving here ually. There are 5000 women in france and England and Italy who nave nave been deprived of husbands bv the war Now AIS per cent. of aii rrench immigrants are women; 40 pra pra cent. or all British immigrants women and 50 per cent of Ital- ans .1 are females. They know that in .h .he western part of the United States enere are 1O,0OO,OOO bachelors.
 A halt million immigrant women "tAi arrive thls year, it is estimated.

The Peoples Say

Editor, Bridgeport Times:
 Sir:| would like to say a few words in regards to the fire at the Bijou theatre Saturday evening. It looks similar to the one that occurred at the LenoN theatre on Broad street several years ago and which no doubt has occurred at many other theatres. The cause comes from having one man attend two machines. One man cannot attend to two machines with safety. To run a picture continuously he must leave his first machine one half to one minute running without Q guiding hand to be ready to start his second machine. The moment the film has run through the first ma chine then he must leave his second machine to fix up his first machine for the next picture which takes three to five minutes leaving the second machine running all this time without a guiding hand. These fires can be avoided by having an operator for each machine the same as we road people have.
 Your truly,
