Over 10000 At
 Pleasure Beach
 On Opening Day

The summer season has opened and there can be no question Of this 1act; The 10000 persons who thronged Pleasure Beach Park on Saturday and Sunday, coming as the automobile numbers indicated from so far as Newtown, Danbury. Waterbury. An sonia, Norwalk. Stamford, New Ha- ven and even from Hartford and New London, made it certain that the summer season had opened. Canoes from Fairfield beach and Bridgeport harbor and along the shores of Pleasure Beach. The mo tor-boat enthusiast was present with boats of varying design and many cruiser parties.
 Crowds mean nothing unless they are satisfied. This was written upon the faces of all, from those who rode the thrilling roller coaster, who came vflion, to those who sat in the grove picniclzing and listened to the band concerts that will be one of the fea- lures of Pleasure Beach park this band expenditures.
 Little kiddies playing in the sand with the mothers and fathers near by, children on the see-saws, parties on the sand by the as yet unopened bathing paviHon-an bore the ear marks of summertime contentment.
 While the Pleasure Beach manage ment had not expected to have to ca ter to such large crowds upon the pre-opening week, 1t was found neces- sary to quickly get steam up under the boilers of the big ferryb oat Hugenot which at o'clock on Sun day afternoon joined the fleet of boats carrying passengers to Pleasure Beach park. The whistles of many harbor craft gave her a seasons wei come to Bridgeport harbor waters where she will ply under the cap- taincy of Philip G. Day a ferry cap tain of wide experience in these and Hudson river waters.
 Both Saturday and Sunday nights thousands of Bridgeport's and Waterhury's nimble-footed dancers glided about the mammoth pavilion to the strains of Paul Whiternan's or chestra. It was announced by the management that this would be largely augn ented during the next few days because of the magnitude of the dancing floor. It is expected that by Tuesday night there will be IS pieces taking part in the ensemble with var ious brass soloists to stimulate the rythm.
 The prospect of both the bathing pavilion and the large Pleasure Beach restaurant being fully opened before Decoration Day is now in sight.
 The park once opened will remain so during the weekdays and for the entire summer months.

Thomas Vincent BowIes Post No. 935 Veterans of Foreign Wars Of the U. s. Veterans Hospital, NO. Al AIlingtown, Conn.,,

AllingtOwn, Conn.,, May 21st. 1922. To the Editor Times, Bridgeport, Conn., Dear Sir Denial by disabled soldiers at Al lington Hospital of facts concerning peoples.
 The statement appearing recently in one of the Bridgeport daily news papers that the Harry W. Congdon Post No. II. American Legion, Bridge port, Conn.,, would sell Topples made by the disabled soldiers in the AL ingtown hospital at New Haven, Conn, is absolutely without founda- tion.
 It is untrue that the disabled men at A1lGngtown hospital have made Poppfcs for the American Legion O. any other organization. It is a fact. however, that the men at Allingtown hospital will sell the original allied Topples made in France, the proceeds divided equally between the French relief fund and for the assistance of the disabled and needy veterans of Connecticut.
 When the above referred to state ment was brought to the attention of the men at Allingtown hospital they immediately denied the truth of the statement and it is their desire that the public know the true facts at this time.

Mexican Quail Distributed.

of the State Conservation Commission
have been completed, 10,317 having
been received. All except 116 were
alive. Last year the loss by death in
transit was about 2 per cent of the
total, and the year before it was about
Is per cent.
State Game Warden e. Lee LIE
Compile said that the decreased loss
by death was undoubtedly due to the
fact that the birds were caught in the

STATE
CAPITAL
Child Bureau Plan.
Annapoli


The Child Hygiene Bureau Plan to
be organized in accordance with pro-
visions of the Sheppard-Towner law
and legislation passed by the last Leg
islature, will start under plans formu-
lated by DR.. John S. Fulton, State
Health Officer, with personnel con-
sisting Of director and 10 graduate
nurses.
These plans meet the approval of the
Children's Bureau of the Department
of Labor, which administers the Shep-
pard- Towner law. They have been re-
turned to DR.. Fulton with one or two
suggested changes in detail. DR.. Full
ton said that the plans are prelin1i-
nary in character and the main plan
will be prepared with the advice of the
man chosen to direct the work.
DR.. Fulton is writing to physicians
and others with view Of assembling
corps of nurses. One of the present
officials of the department probably
will direct initial steps, DR.. Fulton
said, and a permanent head will be
chosen later.
One of the principal duties under
taken by the nurses will be instruction
of midwives, of whom there are more
than 1000 in the State, DR.. Fulton said.
While the law provides that these
women shall register and be licensed,
he explained, there is practically no
restraint on their entry into the field
and the department has to find them
out as best it can. The midwives are
said, and the aim would be to acQuaint
them with the duties which they can
perform legally and instruct them in
the performance.
Work which the nurses might do
themselves would be investigational in
character, DR.. Fulton said, and they
would undertake nothing of profess
sional nature without instructions from
an attending physician. Headquarters
of the bureau will be in Baltimore.
The nurses will be distributed through
the State rather than kept in groups,
Dr. Fulton said.
In it's work in the last eight or Ten
years, DR.. Fulton said, the department
has found motor equipment necessary.
In providing facilities for the new bu-
reau, he said, he did not expect to de-
part from the practice with respect to
existing bureaus. All kinds of trans
portation would be employed in get
ting about the State, he added, the
method of carrying on the bureaus
work being similar to that employed in
combating an epidemic.
DR.. Fulton could not tell just when
work would begin, but the start need
not be deferred, he said, until State
funds become available in October. It
is said that Federal funds for inaugu-
rating the work will be available in a
short time. The yearly appropriation
of $14,777 is to be obtained by match
ing it with State funds.

Forest Planting in Garrett County

Forest seedlings, according to cost
calculations made by Karl E. Pfeiffer,
assistant State forester, are selling
cheaper than cigarettes. Time and
the price of half dozen Smokes" IN
vested in young trees will yield ma
teria1 enough for bungalow, he says.
Mr.. Pfeiffer has returned after ten
days of supervising forest planting in
Garrett county. twenty-five thousand
white pines were put into the ground
on tract of about IS acres.
The cost, including purchase, ex-
|pressage, hauling and planting, was ~
cents a tree. The trees cost y Of a
cent each.
The tract planted will be endangered
comparatively little by forest fires,
trails and roads having been left open
to facilitate access to any part of the
property.

THAT story Of military convention
4 signed by representatives of the
Russian soviet army and the German
general staff in Berlin April 8, first
sprung by the London Times and Wig
orously denied, will not down. Now
the Paris Journal L'Eclair prints what
purports to be the text of the pact.
In 1t the Germans agree to furnish
the Red army with arms and material
for $50 regiments Of infantry and
heavy field artillery for 20 infantry
divisions to train go Russian instruct
ors in the latest developments Of chem
ical warfare and to send technical ex-
perts to Russia to speed up the ,muni-
ton plants and open new ones. The
German general staff pledges to reor-
seat fleets and to supply at the earli-
est possible date 500 new airplanes
together with a supply Of spare parts,
and $50 field wireless outfits.
The Russian army staff guarantees
the establishment In Russia of three
German plants, one for the manufac-
ture of airplanes, one for poison gas
and one for arms, on condition that
the Russian army can use the output
when needed. German specialists would
be admitted to ''the new arms factory
in Afghanistan." The two STATS, it
is agreed, will prepare joint plan of
operations to give Russia access to
the Baltic sea.
