ing Congress to train 1900
men, including $1,000 civilians,
in various camps this year. Con-
gress would do we'll to pay what
it owes the soldiers that have had
their taste of camp life and
trench fife before sending any
others to camp or indulging in
any other Injuries. If the nation
can't find what It owes the SOL
diers. it can't afford anything.
Every banker will say no,
every man who thinks he knows
all about money. and knows
NOTHING, will lift his hands
to heaven in horror. Neverthe-
less, the soldiers bonus could
be taken care of simply, safely,
wisely by issuing currency to
pay the soldiers.
Because the banks did not
need the money. the Federal
Reserve has withdrawn from
circulation hundreds of millions
of currency. Government, with
out paying interest, or worrying
taxpayers, could simply re-issue
five hundred millions Of that
currency to the soldiers. NO
BODY WOULD EVEN KNOW
1T, unless the fact were pub
lished. =
Five hundred millions distrib-
uted among two or three million
men would be Immediately spent,
and spent wisely, for things
actually NEEDED. This would
stimulate trade, help restore
prosperity. It would do for the
hard times what a good rain
does for the hard baked soil.
But It would NOT suit those
accustomed to make a nice
profit whenever Government
needs money.
The Egyptians had a leader
named Zagloul Pasha. who
thought Egypt should be free.
The English took him away,
which seemed simple. A dis
patch from London says the
Egyptians have vowed to kill
one Englishman every day until
Zagloul Is returned. II will
not be done, probably. The in
stinct of self-preservation is
very strong. But among ORR
entails it is easy to find many
Indifferent to death. The num-
ber of killings may be annoy
ing. ...
Lord Allenby goes back to
Egypt with proposals that show
the British are gradually decid-
ing to loosen their hold on parts
of the empire. 49,
The British protectorate will
be withdrawn. Egyptian lead
ers will be allowed to form an
Independent Egyptian govern
ment, with their own foreign
minister and q parliament.
The tendency is more and more
to let people 20 free when they
want to 20 free. It will be inter-
esting to see what happens IL
that Is done in Egypt, India, the
Philippines, and others that
have not yet proved capacity for

Railroad traffic fell off in 1921
23 $40 per cent, compared to
1920-biggest drop in American
railroad history. And the year
1920 was none too good. The
number Of tons Of freight carried
one mile in the year 1921 was
104, ,390, ,000, 900 tons less than
1920 This shows that merely
raising rates on railroads does
not solve your problem. You must
have brains as well as control Of
government to make railroads
pay.
The United States has told
Persia that we expect the

England and Russia have sewed
up everything Persian that is
worth while. And we certainly
are not going to fight about It.

Voltaire's "Zadig." He wanted to

ing themselves alive. He didn't
attack the old custom, only
passed law compelling the be-
reaved widow before being burned
to spend a couple Of hours in

There were few widow burn

 to any of their natural comedy they
 would have caused the audience much laughter standing side by side. Perkins song. "She Was Very Dear to Me- was one of the hits of the show. The dialogue of the team was a riot especially when Perkins aI- tempted to assume the airs or a mon arch. Eva Weber, the leaing lady, and Sam Crftcherson were real sing CTS. The former possessed a remark able soprano voice, and the latter a Tanger1ne," which they introduced Tn the first act was repeated many times
 in the show and was hummed by the audience after the finale. A fine quar-
 tet of which Crttcherson was a mem
 Der, was a feature of the second act.
 Sweet Lady" was sung by Eva and
 Sam and caused stir and the pair were forced to respond to five well earned encores.
 There were so many splendid fea- lures that 1t is impossible to tell o1 each. However. the chorus of shape ly, Sea Island maidens deserved great praise. Different from most musical comedy choruses these were nol merely a part of the scenery but were
 really talented and worked. Then plauded and their costumes were strikingly beautiful.

Bridgeport Pioneer in
 Housing Solution

'sThe war brought into Bridgeport on the great motor and rail path into New England and only 55 miles from the worlds greatest city and port-the largest number of planned areas in a single American city. unless possibly Yorkship Village is greater. Seven million dollars went into those areas in two years"
 The above paraghaph is one taken from the collection of books and re- ports relating to housing conditions, supplementing the large collection all ready on hand, presented to the state library at Hartford by Robert E. Todd, of that city.
 A note sent with the reports, and written by MT. Todd, says that in his belief Connecticut is a pioneer in housing work. New Jersey and Con necticut were the first to regulate house building in gseveral cities.

Hats, those beautiful adornm ents dear to the heart of every woman,- and in the latest creations, in all col ors and styles, shapes and sizes, are once again the talk of the town. Anyone who has seen the great array of new hats and headdresses now be- Ing shown at D. M. Reads cannot help talk about them. Miss A. L.. Knapp, who has just returned from Paris. has brought with her Gay Paree's'' noblest efforts to please Bridgeport femiNiaity. To The Times reporter who just had to explore and sec what 1t was all about, Miss Knapp explained just what was what.
 Mere man that he is, the reporter was surprised to learn that the hats on exhibition are direct from such well known houses as Mary and An nie, Maison Felix, Maison GernIaine, Louison and Suzanne.
 Brown seems to be the most pop ular color, for dress and street wear and for all occasions. Brown, in all shades and stints, from the darkest to the very light sand colors. Besides there ane many hats in the colors which go we'll with brown,-ochre tangerine and scarlet.

EMPIRE.

The time, the place and the girl met when Rupert Hughes wrote "The Wall Flower" which was produced at the Goldwyn studies with Colleen Moore in the role of the ugly duckling who turned out to be a swan. The pie ture, which will be shown at the Elm pire theatre today, is a variation of the old Cinderella story, a tale that never grows old and may always be presented in a new way.
 Rupert Hughes has shown his in genuity in making his Cinderella a wall flower. She is just that. Nobody loves her. She is only drudge. How ever, even drudge may have won derful times. The realization comes to her that she is only the sport ot her friends-and that is tragedy Nevertheless, there are others who discern the swan in the ugly duckling and through their efforts change the rough brown feathers to smooth white ones. And, as in the fairy tale, the
 prince comes to claim his princess and they live happily ever after.
 ''The Wall Flower" was a difficult
 picture to cast. It required a leading woman who could disguise herself tt look plain who could portray com

Berlin Anxious For U. $. to Keep Troops
 In Rhine Garrison

Paris Aug. 31.-The American government, through a channel quite apart from the American embassy in Paris, has reopened it's inquiry as to the propriety of keeping American n troops on the Rhine.
 The present attitude of the French government is said to be one of in- difference, while the German govern ment has expressed a desire that the Am erican garrison continue, being likely, the Germans believe, to exer- else calming influence on the Bel giap, French and British forces of oc- cupation
 One reason for the American atti-
 tude. it is understood, is the fact thai nothing has been paid by Germany for the maintenance of the army the bill for wEich now amounts to S270.. 100000, less certe in sums, estimated at S40,0o0,O0O, consisting of requisi tions made by the American military authorities on the German govern rnept.

SOLDIERS BONUS
 VOTE IN SENATE
 EXPECTED TODAY

Washington. Aug. 31.-A final vote on the soldiers bonus bill before ad- tournment of the Senate today, ap- peared to be reasonably certain. All pending amendments had been dis posed of and general debate began be- fore the recess last night.
 AS far as leaders wc- 8 advised only three or four senators planned to de- liver prepared addresses, but there was likelihood of another general dis cussion such as has featured each of the seven days the bill has been un- der consideration.
 Passage of the measure was re- garded as a foregone conclusion. but whether 1t would reach the statute books was conceded by friends and foes alike to be another question. They held that this probably would depend upon President Harding since 1t was regared very doubtful that there could be obtained in the Senate the necessary two-thirds to pass the bill over an executive veto.
