When the doors of the Borg Cloth ing Shop. 1114 Main street, one flight up over the Travellers Shoe Store, are thrown open on Saturday, Bridge port will be treated to fine a suogo handling mems and young mem s clothing can be found in this city.
 T. Richard Borg, more familiarly known to many as Dick has spared no expense or effort to make this store one that it will be a pleasure to visit. It has long been MT. Borg's s cherished ambition to be in a posi- tion where he could operate a. cloth avoid the prohibitive downstairs rent and overhead which is the big factor in the high cost of clothing today. In his present location he is in the center of the shopping district but due to small upstairs rent and small operating cost of dcing business he is In position to guarantee a. positive saving of ten dollars on every gar- ment sold and as Dick says ''It pays to climb a flight for ten"
 MT. Borg has been associated with the retail mems clothing business for over twenty years, the past six of which he has been the local manager for the Rogers Clothing store, and his many years contact with both the retail and wholesale clothing clohing for men and young men that will permit of unuausl savings
 A cordial invitation has been ex- tended to the public of this city to inspect the store which MT. Borg says has solved the clothing problem and IS particularly apropos with the pres ent economic conditions

PARK.

Louis Mann, one of the most dis tinguished actors on the stage today, will be again seen in Bridgeport next week when he opens a three day en- gagement at the Park theatre with matinee on Wednesday, in ''The Dollar Daddy" which has been writ ten for him by Charlton Andrews.
 The Dollar Daddy is a three act comedy and gives MT. Mann an op- portunity to show his versatility and artistry in a splendid manner. Louis Mann portrays the part of an elderly German who has immigrated to this country to visit some of his relatives. His identity is confused with that of r. rnulti-millionaire from South Africa and a series of complications as well as some very we'll written human in terest complications set in.
 In the supporting cast will be seen many players already familiar to To- cal audiences, including Betty Ross Clarke, Arthur Albertson, Lucia Moore, Anita Booth, Leonard Doyle, William T. Clark and others.

 EVENING PUPILS

PupIls living outside the city limits ana attending night schools here may nave to pay a tuition fee of $15 if tht, recommendatfons made at a confer ehce or board members with Supt Of schools E. Everett Cortright yester- gay afternoon are adopted. The con- terence was called at the request of MT fortnight on the out-of-town school matter and several other prop Iems pertaining to the school system.
 At the meeting it was said that the city of Springfield charges $25 for similar tuition. This was thought rather high by board members. The cost of each session would come to 20 cents 1T $15 is to be the basic charge.
 Application of a number, of teach CTS to leave their class rooms on Fri day afternoon to attend extension courses offered to teachers by Co- !umbia University was drowned upou because it is thought that it wou1u not be wise to put a new teacher ID class room once week.
