Bridgeport's new s75O.0O0 packing house, the erection of which will be begun very shortly, will mark a new epoch In the industrial field not only of this city but of the entire state. This will be the first complete pack ing house in Connecticut, and one of less than a dozen in the entire group Of New England states. For this reason the coming of this new in dustry to Bridgeport is of more than passing interest.
 The Confederated Home Abatto oirs Corporation which is erecting this plant will establish a chain of twenty such packing houses throughout the East and very careful survey of the eastern states was made before a definite decision was reached in the matter of locations. This inves- tigation showed among other things that Bridgeport is one of the best centers of any of the Eastern states for a packing house of this complete type because there is an unusual de- mand here for the products of such an industry and a demand far in ex- cess of any local supply. Incidentally this is the third plant in the chain.
 It is worthy of note that there are very few sections of the country hav-

Crime Wave In Detroit Wanes,
 Says Dr. Inches

Detroit, Mich, April 14.-Detro1ts 8 crime wave, that reached its crest Tn 1920. has subsided to ripple, accord ing to Dr. James w. Inches, police commissioner.
 Passing of the orgy of spending, heavy sentences assessed against per sons convicted of crime, and regain ing by Americans generally of their common sense are the factors respa0- sibIe for the passing. of the crime wave" Dr. Inches asserted. The head of the police department pointed out that there were 5S per cent fewer crimes in this city during 1921 than in the preceding year. The percentage is based upon the major crimes-holdups, burglaries and honn- icides.
 Hardened criminals are staying out of Detroit because of heavy sen tences imposed upon convicted wrong doerS but we still have to contend with the young crop of criminals pr. Inches said. ."These youngsters are new at the crime game. The war and

 period than they ever had before and probably more than they ever will again. They grew used to living in comparative luxury. Then came the
 industrial slump and to stay straight it was necessary to lower the stand ards of living. Rather than go with out the 1uxuries these persons turned to crime. Heavy sentences for those apprehended is having a good effect in reducing the ranks of the inexper- fenced criminals"

Baldwin went on to say that Beef cattle could fit advan- tageously into the farm system of the Connecticut man. The labor factor is practically nil. and the catle would convert into profitable meat and leave manure that is especially val ualble to the specializing farmer. Some of the advantages Connecticut offers for beef producing are the amount of land and pasture that is available together with the successful production of hay, corn. and other feeds.

Deserted at the very hour of her wedding by the groom-to-be, Grand ma" Emma Ward McMahon rocked in her armchair today, busy with her crocheting, and did not appear to mind her shattered romance of a week or so ago. She sewed merrily on.
 Sims T. Berry, a tailor, her impetu- ous beau of eighty-two, had walked out' on the wedding just as Justice John George was about to pronounce the wedding ceremony. He fled when he faced a group or newspaper men who pointed a battery of cam eraS in his direction
 Berry didn't take to this new idea at celebrated weddings. They didn't do it back in 1S40 or '50.
 Who's all the strangers?" he had demanded. The reporters were intro duced, and each bowed most gracious ly.
 'I Ain't No Advertisement
 By cricky, I ain't no advertise ment!'' Berry exploded.
 "Me and my gal was going to get hitched quiet like. and now they're maxim a fuss over 1t. I ain't used to it and ain't a-goin' to begin now.

 And Berry left the wedding party with the spryness of all his eighty
 
 two years.
 The guests were in consternation. "Grandma' McMahon alone remain ed calm.
 I'm not worrying" she said eff that young ducks got cold feet, let him go! Maybe he thought I was too old for him, anyhow"
 The candles on the wedding cake loo gleaming sparks of light burned low.
 Apologies to Guests.
 Mrs. McMahon, apologizing to the wedding guests took off her wedding gown, which she made herself, and carefully laid it away in a chest, with a little bonnet she also had made.
