Name Of Lowest
 Bidder Withheld
Contract Awarded for Refrigerating Plant at Hillside Home -Inves- tigation of Firms Work Being Made.

Routine business was considered at the meeting of the Board of Charities held yesterday afternoon in the Vel fare building. The contract for the proposed refrigerating plant to be erected at Hillside Home was let, but the name of the contracting firm was withheld pending investigation of sev- eral plants that they have construct ed.
 The firm was the lowest bidder of the four competing firms. Supt. An gus P. Thorne was authorized by the board to investigate the work of the contracting firm. Definite 1nforma- tion and the name of the firm will be announced at the latter part of the week. All the bids were under $5,- $50, the amount appropriated by the Board of ApportiOnment for the work.
 The four firms which entered bids were the Hart Automatic, Co.,, Ship pley Mfg. Co.,, Toledo Cold Maker Go. and the Norwalk Foundry.
 Bills amounting to $27,9S4 were ap- proved by the board and Supt. Thorne authorized to pay them.
 The question of employment also came before the board. For some time past Supt. Thorne has been re- ceiving requests for men to be en- p1oyed on the state road construction work or in other cities than Bridge port within a reasonable distance. Men employed by the city have been offered these positions but have re- jected them on the plea that they are to far away from their homes and that they did not wish to work out of-town.
 The positions offered pay much partment. The board, after much more than those of the Charities De- deliberation, decided that men who reject offers to work outside of the city will not be continued in the em- p1oy of the city.
 Beginning Friday the men employ ed by the department will work al ternate weeks, that is of the $50 men now on the departments payroll there will be on the average of 800 working weekly. These men will be paid for their services in cash and not, as heretofore, ir supplies
 For their worK they will receive but $6.25 and out of this they will have to pay rent and furnish all other Department of Public Charities The city yard has been made the perma- nent place for paying off the men and not Hillside Home as heretofore.
 The board received communica- ton from the Remington Improve ment Association, asking that the. charities officials plant sugar naples on the northeast side of Stewart street, from Bond to Palisade avenue, stating that the addition of the trees would add beauty to Hillside Homo and to the Remington City as well. The board was forced to reject the suggestion, stating that 1t was willing but had no appropriation with which to do the work.
 The matter of placing new ap- pointees and letting other clerks and timekeepers go did not come before the meeting Supt. Thorne stated.

No Fashion Trouble For Odessa Women

Odessa, April 11-Spring fashions do not bother the women of Odessa. They have no new fashion journal nor cloth with which to make new dresses. Women sometimes have a hat and a few yards of rough cloth to c1othe themselves.
 Underclothing is an unknown Quan- dty. So are stockings for the unluc- ky. Women who have cloaks or furs wear them in day time but at night leave them home. If they did not they would be robbed in the dark ened streets.
 People who go to the theatre travel homewards in groups for protection:
 This lack of clothing hits very hard the younger girls. One of them said to the correspondent: 'I should like to go abroad, if only to get nice clothes"
 The older women in Russia, when talking of the chance of ever getting abroad, say, After all, if we got abroad we would be very poor and feel our poverty more by the contrast Here we are all dressed alike and more Or less in rags and so long as we can get food enough perhaps it is best that we stay in Russia"

Polish Catholics
 Appeal To Pope
In Spite of New Political Division, German Bishop Still Has Jurisdiction Over Their See.

Warsaw. April 11.-PoIish Catho- Scs, in those districts of Upper SiIes- "a recently returned to Poland by the League of Nations, have appealed to Pope Plus XI for separation from the authority of Cardinal Bertram, the German Archbishop of Breslau, un- der whose ecclesiastical rule they still remain, despite the new political dt- vision of the country.
 The appeal is the second one mad @ to the Vatican, the first having been held up by illness and death of Pope Benedict. It is an echo of the Sile- sian plebiscite troubles of 1921, when Cardinal Bertram issued an anti-Polih pastoral letter.
 Monstgnor Ratti, then papaI nuncio Ito Poland, but now Pope, declared then that the letter was published without his knowledge. The Silesian Poles are hopeful of favorable deci- sion on account of Pope Plus first hand knowledge of the situation.

New Device To
 Measure Ocean

Washington, April 11-A new de- vice just developed by the Navy De- partment and which makes possible the accurate measurement of any depth of the ocean, possibly will re- suit, Photographers said today, in the chartering of spots in the sea which have never been measured because their depth was too great for the old methods of sea sounding work.
 The new device was said to employ sound apparatus similar to that used 'during the war fer detection of sub- marines The principles of its use is that of creating a sound on the ship and listening for the echo of this sound from the bottom of the ocean, measuring the time between the crea- stion of the sound and the return of the echo.
