The Pennsylvania railroad
answers when it asks permis-
sion to discontinue service on
the Barnegat Line. That is a
little railroad running eight
miles from Barnegat Junction
to Barnegat City. The people
in that part of the United
States want the railroad. They
need It. But the Pennsyl-
vania railroad says the road
isn't profitable and therefore
would stop running trains.
This is not to criticize the
Pennsylvania. Managers en-

make money for those stock

LILLIAN LESTER
 MAKES HIT IN
 RADIUMIzED GOWN

Aside from other features on ar unusually diverting vaudeville display at Pou's this week, there is one un- usual feature, in fact something en- tirely new to Bridgeport. It is lace gown, costing $1,500, that is
 IF1ck display of wearing appare; really beyond description. Intro cal comedy, the Son Dodger' Mis- Lillian Lester wears a beautiful lace gown, Colonial in design, that in it. self brings a chorus of chs and ahs rom men and women alike. But th,, surprise comes a moment later.
 The lights are dimmed, and th5 gown proves the most beautiful anG wierd creation of coIors and color de sign of anything ever before at and the old stunt of electricity is not resorted to for the effect. This is ap- parent when Miss Lester moves about the stage with carefree abandon.
 The gown is made of a secret pat ented variety of lace, treated in d process, imported from Norway, that for some minutes after being first flooded with strong spot lights, radiates a marvellous series of color that mystifies as well as delights the eye.
 Tried out in Bridgeport for the first time in this country, in a lavish vaudeville act that is to tour the Keith big time, the new idea and in vention opens great possibilities in staging and stage costuming, that bids fair to revolutionize the manner and method of presenting musical com edies, and acts of the revue type. To make the joy complete during the of fering a local favorite, Johnnie Walker, is part of the act.

ter to the board is as follows:
 We, the members of the graduat- Ing class of 1922 of the City Normal school, in view of the proposed dis continuance of our school make our request that it be continued and offer the following reasons:
 ''1- The teaching staff of Bridge port is largely composed of teachers who hold as their credentials to teach, a diploma from the City Normal school. Would such a credential be of great value as issued from a de- funct institution? Also, would not the prestige of Bridgeport be lowered in the eyes of other cities knowing that the greater per cent of Bridgeport's teaching corps held only a diploma from a non-existent institution?
 "2- Many pupils in the Bridgeport High school chose the normal course upon the consideration that they would be able to prepare themselves in this city for the noble profession of teachings For financial reasons many of these girls will not be able to attend a state normal school What

compensation can this city offer for thwarted ambition?
 Various organizations have been carrying on Boost Bridgeport campaign Does not an institution of higher learning, such as our City Nor maj school, add to the prestige Of the city?
 A. A city normal school teacher goes out into the city to teach at a minimum salary of S1,000, while out of-town teachers, wiio according to regulations must have at least two years experience when employed by this city, receive anywhere from S200 to $500 a year more salary
