KANSAS CITY, July 13.-Comment- ing on the wreck near this city last night of the westbound Missouri Pa cific Scenic Limited Flyer, F. A. Knight, assistant general president of the Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, told a representative of the Asso- lated Press that he believed the wreck would not have been caused if the railway company had been using efficient and competent repair and inspection men in it's shops in stead of the strike breakers now en- ployed. Knight expressed the opinion that the accdent was caused by de- fective air couplings. The number of dead from the wreck has been increased to six, and there is slight chance for some of the more seri- ousy injured recovering.

TRADE SCHOOL PROVIDING 161 WORLD WAR VETERANS
 WITH A GOOD EDUCATION

Even healthy young high school student would agree that spending A hours week in, school learning language and trade would be job this when one is suffering from wounds or the effects of being gassed is a pretty big undertaking. Yet down at the State Trade School tims of the war. who are trying to learn a means of livlihood These are the vocational training students of the government. This training has been going on now for more than two years.
 Approximately 90 per cent. of them are suffering from a disease of the bone due to wounds and most of them have been gaSsed. Several of them have artificial limbs.
 It is strange that the first thing that must be done for men who have fought for this country and been wounded in its service should be to teach them to read, write and speak it's language, yet in the majority of these 161 men this is their first need. Many of them were illiterate, even in their own tongue, and it is simple undertaking to teach a war-scarred veteran the intricacies of the alpha bet. It is aimed first to make them American citizens, so every day they have their classes in English
 Most of the men were of the labor ing class before the war, so that they
 
 back once they were released. There are a number of Americans among them, however, who have been in the trades and who want to perfect them selves in them, or who are taking ad- vantage of the opportunity to take up some line that they have always wanted to know.
 In order to complete their course. each man must put in 4,S00 success full hours at the trade school, which are approximately three years. The course is so arranged that after man has showed satisfactory progress at the school he may be put into placement work, which means that he is put with some firm actually working at the trade, but the govern ment still pays him rather than the firm. Business conditions have been so bad that a number of men who would otherwise have been put into placement positions from the local school. have been kept at the school
 There are, however, several in such positions and six men have been graduated from the school and are making good in their work.
 With the majority it is slow work. as none of them are well and many ness. They must make frequent trips to the doctor, and there is one who goes every day.
 The men are from various states in the East, a number of them being from Massachusetts. They have been sent here in many instances because the school happens to have courses which they want. Different schools have different courses and this in way determines their selection. AL though the local school IS alreaoy overcrowded, more men are con- stantly being sent here as they are released from hospitals. The school is expecting quite few more men,

UNEINpL DYED SUFFERING
 MORE AT PRESENT THAN
 ANY TIME DURING DEPRESSION

Should this rate continue for the re- mainder of the month it would make January by far the worst month known in Bridgeport so far
 A great many families have never before had to receive aid are being forced to come to the Charities De- partment now for assistance.
 Many who were wise and saved their war wages have been able to hold out until now, but months of unemployment have used up what ever they were able to save. There were hundreds of others whose wages did not increase in war times in pro- portion to the increase in the cost of living, consequently they were unable to save and have nothing up- or which to fall back.
 From December l, 1920, to Janu- ary l. 1922, there were 5,1S3 appH- cations for employment and since July g, there have been 460 addition al applications for employment from ex-service men,
 For the week of December 2e.there were 922 men in the employ of the Carity Department, who had been given work to relieve the unemploy- Tnent situation.
 Of these S95 are five day men, PIP four day men, -137 three day men, S9 two day men, two one-half day men, six seven day men, 51 foremen, time keepers and clerks and 80 room and board men. In addition to this num- Der 762 others have been employed during the year and have been dis charged because they have found other employment.

Conditions today among the unem- ployed and the poor of Bridgeport are much worse than at any other time in the history of the city Since January l, there has been steady increase in the number or appHca- tions for relief to the Charities De partment and on Thursday these reached the high peak of 12S, which is one of the highest 1T not the highest number ever recorded in the department.
 December, 1920, was considered a hard month, but there were only l. 250 applications to the Department of Charities in that month compared to 2,11S in December, 1921-
 These applications include all ap- peals for assistance that are made to the department, whether it be for work. out door relief, medical assist ance or legal aid.
 By far the greatest increase for assistance is from families. In De- cember 1920, there were only 200 such appeals, while in the corre- spending month of 1921 these had jumped to 791. The applications for work run about the same from month to month. In 1920 there were 3es such applications in December; in 1921, S73.
 A great many of the applications from families are for coal and the extremely cold weather of the early part of the week undoubtedly assist ed in sending up the total number In the first four days of this year there were z22 applications for aid

.DR. DAY SPOKE
 ON "A SAVIOUR"

gro him that knoweth to do good and doeth 1t not, to him it is sin, quoted Dr. Day in his sermon at the United church yesterday. q wonder how many of us this morning really think of ourselves as sinners he continued. Many of us do not feel that sense of the conviction of sin which you find in the diaries of our grand parents. We have a very diff ferent attitude in that particular. But we know good that we do not do. of any shameful outbreaking sin; but when we think of sin as the act of him who "knoweth to do good and doeth it not" we realize. we have not the mark. We certainly have not escaped that experience of knowing that we have missed the mark; that we have failed Him and that others
 All through the centuries this great problem has confronted men, said Dr. Day. Can man have peace with God and be sure of it? What does it mean to us when we come into the church and confess our faith in Jesus as our Saviour? Jesus saves us from our sins by teaching us to know the truth. He came with the clear est word ever uttered on m oral Ques- tions, that He might make us know the difference between good and bad. forms will suffice before Jesus, for Me came to make us conscious of the difference between sin and righteous ness, and when we understand. there is no one of US who does not come confessing that he has sinned and transgressed against God. No for giveness. no atonement, ever changes the consequences of sin. The prodi-- gal world always feel the scars of his wrong-doing on his health, his reputation, his usefulness. There is an eternal consequence of every sin. But when he repented, his father for gave him and that repentance changed his life. In the same way, Jesus came to disclose with saving power, the truth of what Gods heart is, and the difference between wrong and right.

5 CENT LOAF
 BACK AGAIN
Victim of Great World War Is Strong and Healthy Again After Period of Recupera- ton.

Returned to full health and vfgor again, one of the victims of the world war, the five cent loaf of bread is back again in Bridgeport The five cent loaf of bread was one of the first recruits, it disappeared from Bridge port about the time the first of the boys were leaving for France and it had begun to look as though it was to be forever among the missing
 The new five cent loaf is to be found at the Groceteria at 1926 Main street, just opposite Cannon street, the new type of grocery store where one waits on ones self. It weighs a full pound, in compliance with the new state law is made of high grade materials and is baked fresh every day in the Groceteria's own sanitary, daylight bakery.
 On the price of bread, some ocono- mists, claim, depend the prices of other necessities. When the trend Of the price of bread is upwards, the cost of living soars-- When it is lower, the cost of living is lower. May the five cent loaf lead the way back to old pre-war food pricesi

as it has just been announced that several thousand have just been re- leased from hospitals.
 The men are taking the most prac- tical training. The courses include drafting. automobile repairing, ma chine shop and tool making, electri- carpentry and painting and decor ating.
 The machine shop and tool making course seems to be the most popu- this is the course in autom obile re- pairing. More men are taking these courses than any of the others. Drafting is another most popular education. There are IS learning to be draftsmen and some of these are showing real talent in this line. One of the drafting students is so inter osted in his work that he wants to go on to college.
 One-third of each course must be made up of academic work, which included a knowledge of allied trades to the one in which he is majoring It also includes the study of Err \ish and of mathematics. A ceTf'in number of hours of the course must be- spent in recreation. This is taken principally at the Y. M c. A. The men are keeniy interested in bowling and those that are able to bowl and use the gymnasium every week
 Many of the men are married and are living here with their wives on the allowance they receive from the government. Single men receive $100 a month, married men s35 additional for their wives and $10 extra for each child.
 In the group are men of almost every European nationality. There are Italians, Polish Slavish. Armen- ian, Lithuanian, Russian, Danish and Spanish.
 There are frequent changes among the men. Some find, once they have begun a course, that they do not care for 1t so much they anticipated, or their instructors see that they will never be successful in that particular other course. Frequently they are sent to other schools where there are different courses. Some of the men find that they are too i'll to keep up the work and so they drop out Others are sometimes sent who should not be in a school and it has been found necessary to remove them to other institutions.
 There are eight other schools in this state besides the one in this city where ex-service men are receiving vocational training. These are To- cated in Stamford. Donbury, Torring- tcn Boardman Trade School, New Haven; Meridep New Britain, Put nam and South Manchester.
 While at first there was consider able dissa st :sfaction among the men here this has all died down and most of them seem contented and interest ed in their courses. Their knowledge of English is improving ard they are learning to write quite credttably, due to the very practical teaching meth ods which have been used.
 But at best it s a long up hill fight when one is not in the best of health to try to learn a language and trade.

STAMFORD
Again the skating is good.


 Mrs. Elford Clark of Windsor ave- nue believes the new government will be good if given sufficient chance band who is a co-worker of council man Walter Keeling of the Eighth district. Both are connected with the Crane Company, South avenue Bridgeport. Clark is a big booster for keling, and believes that Strat- ford affairs will work out to every ones satisfaction.
 It hardly seems probable that there can be again grounds for the rumor that the volunteer branch of the fire department is to be busted from the second floor of the central station. which is used as a club room The fact that a number of husky young men make the headquarters their club house generally insures a full crew to man the ancient and honor- able fire truck which would not be the case were the club room ordered vacated.
 Announcement of Rev. M. J.. OConnor of St. James church that a parochial school will be built inn mediately following the clearance of the present debt of the parish, now about $12,000, means that before Stratford will be in line with many other eastern towns. A parochial school would also relieve the crowded condition of the public schools to no mean extent
 The new officers of the Cupheag club are: John Graham. president; Paul Goodel1, vice president; George W. Spau, secretary, and Frank L. Hanson, treasurer. Other officers elected are as follows: Auditors, Col. Louis J. Hermann and Gilbert Y. Edwards; board of governors for two years. Vernon A. Fairchild, and Edwin C. Spall; for one year, Charles H. Stilliman
 A suggestion made before the Chamber of Commerce by own Man ager Hunter that each property own CT pay for street paving in front of his own property is not taken serious y; property owners who cannot pay walks can hardly be expected to pay for street paving. There seems lit tie probability that the idea would cause any more street paving to be done than perhaps enough scattered patches to make the town look like it had the measles Neither does a thing. Only now the council is working on the matter of forcing side walks down under certain conditions which is as 1t should be if Stratford is to keep in line But keeping streets in good condition, at least paSsab1e and safe condition, has al- ways seemed to be one Of the things 25 mill taxes were for.
 Not passing the necessary council manic legislation to confirm the $250,- 600 sewer bonds at the last public hearing, some believe that the mat ter cannot now be handled in a leag1 manner without making a fresh start and going over the route again.
 Walter J. Hanford, local business man who Is we'll known. has the courage of his convictions. He is disgusted with some things, notably the method" of arriving at valua- tions for taxation purposes, and does not care who knows what he thinks His remarks will receive a multitude of seconds" though many will be too bashful, or frightened, to express themselves out loud. It isn't the taxes that are levied, but those that you collect that count. This is only one of his remarks, and he has many sympathizers.
