One of the strangest parties which Bridgeport has ever witnessed will take place Saturday afternoon at the Welfare Building.

Not one of them will be able to see even their next neighbor- For this gathering will represent the blind of Bridgeport.

TOMATOES, NOW BIG
CROP, ONCE NEGLECTED

The story of canned goods in fruits
and vegetables illustrates the course
of what each line may expect accord
ing as it adjusts itself in accord with
prevailing conditions. There were huge
stocks carried over into 1921 which had
10 bo disposed Of at reduced figures.
Then there were smaller yields Of both
fruits and vegetables in 1921 than in
the previous year. So stocks are now
below normal for this season Of the
year. Tho consequent outlook is for
larger production of fruits and vege-
tables this year than last. There prob
ably will be large volume of business
in these commodities during tho COM
ing months. Also in fruits, since the
severe and widespread freezes We had
last spring do not often occur two
years in succession.
How vast is the volume Of business
in canned vegetables may be gathered
from the story Of tomatoes, the love

merely n curiosity and negligible as an
edible vegetable. Like most good
things of strictly American origin, II
finally made its way, and the annual
commercial pack varies from 24O to SOC
million cans, exclusive of those put ur
by innumerable housewives.

sumers feel is bottom for the time be-

The modern tendency toward voca-

business career is well exemplified in
the record of l.. =. Moore Of 407 Ship
ley street, who is sn electrical engineer
and contractor.
Born in Alabama. 81 years ago, he
followed n High School course by n
technical training in Drexel Institute
and the Bliss Electrical School, Wash
ington, starting his practical career in
business for himself in this city in
1915
This business, he says, "has never
stopped growing even through dull
times" In addition TO contracting
work he handles electrical appliances
and supplies both at wholesale and
retail, and calls his shop "the wife
saving station" from the convenience
which these devices bring to household
| work.
His grounding in electrical prin-
ciples enabled him 10 quickly adopt the

HOW Wilmington
HAS DEVELOPED
In 1857 the Stores Had to De-
pend on a Population OF
Only 1888.

The rapidity with which Wilmington
has developed In tho past half century
or more can best be understood through
tho comparison of directories Of years
ago with the present directory, which
contains the names of a large proper
ton Of the 10000 persons living in
tho city.
In a simple little directory issued in
1857, the population, ascertained by a
census completed May /, is given rs
17,52S. The city was then divided into
the eastern and western districts and
Brandywine village. The eastern dis
trict had S,905 persons; the western,
7,T43, and Brandywine Village, $50.
About IL per cent Of the population was
colorcd.
In those days Wilmington had no
daily newspapers. The public depended
on few weekly or scmi-weekly papers
for their information. The Delaware
Gazette, Every Evenings predecessor,
which was established in 1884, WAS prob
ably the best paper of that time, and
is listed in the directory as Zone of the
most extensively circulated country
papers in the United States" Ii was
published semi-weekly Mt ia Market
street, and G. =. Johnston was editor
and proprietor.
The other semi-wcckly papers were
the Delaware State Journal and the
Delaware Republican, while the Della
ware Democrat and the Delaware Week
" Republican were the weekly news
papers.
The lodges in existence in 1874 and
their highest officers were; Granc
Lodge of Delaware, A. +. and A. M.

Old Hen No Longer a Mother.
But Just an Egg Produc-

The modern poultry house is scieDtl-
fc and mechanical wonder box
"Mother hen" is no longer a mother,
but an egg producing machine. Her
cackle is not now n sign OF the coming
day, for about 2 n. IN. an electric switch

one grew before. 49,,

Automobile manufacturers and dealers
are just beginning to realize how big a

it is necessary to get back to March,

best months the industry every had.
All carload shipment records since that
time were broken last month. They were
materially larger than in any month Of
1921 when the highest total was in
August with 20,350. Last months total
