notified the coroner of Cass county

Local COlatura Well Received
 in Canada

Much favorable criticism has been given Madame Marie Caselotti, local coiorature soprano, who is now on tour with the DeFeo Opera company
 Bits of criticism given in Canadian papers are as follows:
 The Brantford EXpoSitor, Brant- ford, Canada, of Oct. IS reviewing a performance of Lucia writes: Last nights performance could be equalled only by the late Enrico Caruso and Ga1i-Curci and was one of the great est treats of the season. To say the least Maria Caselotti, interpreting the person of Lucia, amazed the music lovers. Her part was sung with tal- ent and was really remarkable.
 The Examiner, Peterborough, Ont, says: Chief honors were perhaps car ried off by Mime. Caselotti whose sing ing of the wonderful music of the mad scene gave full justice to the pos abilities of the part. Mme. Case lotti's voice possesses the sorority and and in addition she displayed the his trionic ability required for realistic portrayal of the mental suffering of the unhappy Lucia.
 The Daily Ontario, Bellevii1e, Ont: : La Boheme was well cast and sung. Mimi in the hands of Maria Case1otti was competently done.
 The Montreal Herald, Montreal. The Soprano Maria Caselotti as Gilda eXcelled in every part, showing a voice of intense charm and beauty and much may be heard of this artist in the future. At the close of the duet with the bartine. Bonel1i both artists were calls at the end of the act.
 The Kingston Whigg: Marie Case lotti as Micaela in Carmen won 8 warm applause.

Residents Complain
 Sewer OverflOws

Residents in the vicinity Of Bethany Chapel and members of the North End Improvement association attend ed a meeting held in the office of the City Engineer last night to discuss ways and means of relieving the overflow from the OK Hill reservoir which causes flooded streets and eel lars in this district. The association plans to select a committee to meet with Mayor Atwater. the Sewer and Paving Commission and members of the Board of Apportionment to ask that a straight line sewer be run through the property affected by the stream so as to relieve the flooded conditions which they claim leaves their cellars damp and wet three months in year and is a menace to their health.
 Alderman William F. Hogan of the Sixth district suggested a street be cut through at recent meeting of the residents but the plan did not meet with approval. He is prompting the new move on the part of the res idents and said that the taxpayers have a just claim.

 American cities usually possess a great amount of civic pride and none more so than those throughout New England. Civic pride is inborn, it cannot be cultivated. It is or it isn't We have always thought that an old city such as Bridgeport must possess more than its share of pride in it's doings with the outer world. Now is the opportunity to show, if we are correct in our thoughts. This is inter- national.

The dismissal was unconstitutional, he alleged AL though Judge Avery upheld Lavery's contentious he modified the decision Of Vacat1ng the injunction, declaring that although the busted officials were legally entitled to the office, they were not to interfere with the work being done by the new regis trars until an information in the na- ture Of quo Walrranto proceedings IS filed to test the authority of the town council in dismissing Dahlin and Ryan.

MISS HERMANN FINDS CONDITIONS
 ARE GOOD HERE

Already a concise yet complete program of work has been outlined by Miss Rosalind L. Hermann, the new secretary of the Jewish Welfare Bureau, whose office is in the '. M. H. A. building on Madison avenue.
 Miss Hermann arrived in this city trained secretary of the Jewish Vel a great field of work awaiting her. tions in this city are much better than in many other cities of the same size. The principal causes of desti- tuition, she says, are due to unem- ployment and illness, but the amount of both in Bridgeport now, are rath- CT small, comparatively speaking and can be greatly remedied after a lit tie care.
 '"The coal shortage said Miss Hermann, 'is the only thing I fear, sickness and suffering.
 We want it to be known that the Jewish bureau is not only going to give relief but will do many other kinds of welfare work. We intend to give legal advice. to aid delinquent girls and boys, and to help in every way we can, the new secretary con tinued.
 Miss Hermann has been engaged in a. similar work in Philadelphia for several years. Prior to taking course in social service in the Penn sylvania School of Social Service she was a teacher in one of the gram mar schools.

LADIES! DARKEN
 YOUR GRAY HAIR

The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to it's natural color dates back to grandmothers's s time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attrac- tive.- Whenever her hair took on than dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect.
 But brewing at home is mussy and out-of- date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for 8 bottle of Wy eth's Sage and Sulphur Compound" you will get this famous old prepara- tton, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- pended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair.
 A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied: You smtply dampen this through your hair, taking one strand at g time. By morning the gray hair disappears. and after an other application or two, 1t becomes beautifully dark and glossy.-Adv.

 FOR TRIAL BY
 SUPERIOR COURT
