THRIFT SHOP
MAKES RENEWED
APPEAL
Quitting Needy Families
Has Reduced Stock of
Garments

Several large families have been
QUILTED at the Thrift shop and in
consequence the supply of cloth
ing is very low. Requests are
constantly coming in and the
committee is unable to anywhcrc
meet the demand 1t hurts to re-
fuse mothers of little children,
mothers who ask for underclothinG
to keep their children warm, ana
men who seek shoes and trousers
that can b ut for the pitably
small sum that is all they have.
A pair of shoes were given recent
ly to the aged grandfather in a
family and the workers discovered
that the daughter of the home was
wearing them to school. Otherwise
she could not have gone to school,
for she had no shoes. In another
family the mothers only dress was
a cotton house dress, and she
went out to her work of cleaning
by the hour in the severest OF
weather. At the Thrift sho she
was fitted out with two warm
skirts for which she paid less than
80 cents.
1t is to help eases like these
that the Thrift shop is asking for
clothing. All kinds ere needed
and at once. Perhaps the creates
call Just now is for boys and
mems clothing, warm underwear,
shoes and Garments of all kinds.
Children's garments of all des-
criptions are needed as well as
women's things.
The committee is especially ac-
oirous to receive generous con
tributions before Tuesday. A call
to Mrs. L. E. Sargent who is Ii
charge Of the shop this month or
to Mrs H. II. Eldridoe, chairman
Of the committee, will bring a team
for any articles. Renewed search
in attic and closets is asked that
the pressing need may be relive3.

As the readers Of John FoX's
novel well know, the story of the

human. In the dramatization of
the story this human element has
been BROUGHT to the front with
splendid characterizationS, dra-
matte suspense ont OF the ordinary,
and a wealth of humor.
A boys love for his dog, Il
Kentucky feud, and a justice Of
the peace, who with a volume Of
Blackstone under bis ripht arm,
tlaversed the Kentucky mountains
in the interest Of Justice, form the
pivotal noints of interest of the
play. The curtain rises on a
mountain fastness and a frht.
Chad, homeless waif, is threat
cned with destruction BY DAVIS
Dillon and his brother, and is saw
ed through the intervention of b'r
Joel Turner, father of Meli5sy.
The story of Chad's rise to for
tune, his fondness for Nelssv the
mountain oirl who has alwav
loved him and who ALWAYS loved
his dog" form the basis of a real
story, rich in humor. Strono in plot
and crowded with unusual charac-
tiers.

McNider Challenges
 Opponents Of Bonus
Legion Chief Calls Upon Veterans To |" M a k e Good.'

Commander McNider of the Ameri- can Legion wants those ex-service men who oppose the bonus idea to make good" He has issued a chal- lenge to all ex-service men who are opposed to the bonus to pool their share in a revolving fund for the bene- fit of disabled men and dependents while they are wading through a adjustment of their claims.
 ''If these soldier opponents of the adjusted compensation bill are really sincere in their disregard for allot- ments let them prove it by p1edging their bit to wounded comrades whose claims have not been established" said McNider, That is the best test.
 Such a fund would provide some millions of dollars which could be loaned without interest and with only a mans good standing in the Ameri- can Legion as security to world war veterans who may be in temporary need because of disability, illness and attendant unemployment or other causes
 after exhaustive study of the situa- tion in consultation with legion lead CTS in every section of the country. It would remove practically the last vestige of opposition to the compen- sation measure by providing a way which every dollar paid out by the Government under this act can be used to strengthen the economic fabric of the country by the rehabilitation of needy individuals who are not com pensab1e under existing laws or who. owing to administrative delays, have not received the benefits to which they are entitled"

Recall Washington's
 Visit To Fairfield

Squirrels now inhabit the Old Sun Tavern in Fairfield where George Washington, while president of the United States, once stayed over might on his way to New Haven. The old tavern is now a private dwelling and stands at the south edge of the green. It was built shortly after the town was burned by the British in 1779. It was kept for many years by man named Penfield.
 President Washington travelled a great deal and in order to get to New Haven. he was obliged to pass through Fairfield. When he reached the town. it was dark. The Old Sun Tavern was the only hostelry in the vicinity and Washington remained there for the night.
 Washington was royalty treated by the residents of the town who turned out to do honor to the illustrious sol dier. The next day he continued his journey. Further down the Post road is the Benson house, where Washing ton is said to have also stopped. Among the noted perSonages who were guests at this tavern were Aaron Burr, whose father was born in Fair field, Daniel Webster, Andrew Jack son, Booth, Macready and other noted men of the early part of the nine teenth century.

London, Feb. 22-Feninine aspir- ants for pulchritude may accept 1t upon the undiSputed word of Miss Lillian Russell, that the life of a pro- fess1onal beauty is just one trial after another. Miss Russell who in private life is Mrs. A. P. Moore of Pittsburgh, IS in Europe Investigating immigrant ion conditions.

Lloyd George has not got half the job in trying to pacify the world that a professional beauty has in keeping her looks Tor 30 years.
 Half the pleasures of life are cut off from you You must keep early hours You must live very carefully. Yau must always be perfectly dressed. the thought that you are no longer as good looking as you were. Most women want to be beautiful but I can assure them that it is better to be brainy-
 'I remember once in New York while walking with my sister I had to stop to powder my nose. Thank God, said my sister, that I am not a whether my nose is shiny or not But I had to care.'
 Miss Russell paused. '-What are some of the other tria1s?'' asked the reporter.
 ''Wel1," said the former actress. eff you are very pretty every one thinks you are a fool, and if you are not they wish that you were. It is very diff cult for a pretty woman to talk sense No one wants her to talk it."
 ''Is it a handicap on the stage to be beautiful?'' was the next question.
 Yes, they think you can't be any l7S oIS What you want is moderately good looks and brains. The pretty girls? Well, they disaIpear.''

TWO PLAYS WILL
 BE OFFERED AT
 SERVICE CENTER

Elaborate preparations are being made for the first play Of the year at the Industrial Y- w. c. A. Center. Monday night. Two plays, "Pokey' or ssThe Beautiful Legend Of The Amorous Indian and ''The Man In The Stalls" will be given.
 In "Pokey,'' there are two scenes, the first laid in the neighborhood of Werow ocomoco, where POwhatan is chieftai on the top and at the foot of a tall cliff on a plateau overlooking Q valley.
 ''Pokey'' was originally produced by the Washington Square Players at the Comedy Theatre, New York It is rich in the Satirical humor for which Phil lip Moeller is noted. The fact that the female parts are to be portrayed by men in the Bridgeport production still further emphasizes it's clever and ar Bresnahan in the role of Old Mrs. Powhatan is worth much than the price of admission. Old Mrs. F., 10S years of age, insists upon sticking to the traditions of the tribe and simply will not speak in anything but the Hiawatha verse.
 The differences in opinion between Mrs. F. and her modern daughter are especially amusing and the play ends very happily when "Pokey" cap lures the gallant whiteman. The play has a fitting conclusion when John RoIfe offers his life for John Smith and the latter, by way of gratitude, says ''I say, old man-I hope you don't mind this momentary inconvenience. You know, in a, few centuries, the whole thing may seem awfully funny"
 The cast includes:
 Chief of the Werowocon1oco
 ..-..... Harry L. Haw1ey Mrs. F., His Squaw ......
 ....... David H. Morehead The Elder Mrs. F., His Mother ..
 ....... Dr. John F. Bresnahan Pokey, Better Known To History
