Residents of Washington Hill and lower Baldwin street who have been interesting themselves in d new bridge to replace ScovilPs s bridge between Mill and Bridge streets. might take tip from their forefathers who, 55 years ago, got together and despite concentrated opposition from other sections of the city, succeeded by a clever and united move in causing a; new bridge to be erected on the very site the present bridge now stands.
 Success was earned through the passing of handbills to every resi- dent of the section who had cause to pass over the old bridge. The ndbills, entitled "Abrigador Voters" called attention to mass meeting that was to be held at the city hall and urged all residents of the Abrigador section to pass the word around and turn out for the meeting.
 The Eternal Questions
 The second paragraph in the handbill caused considera ble chuckles the other evening wheE a copy of it was resurrected. Here's what the paragraph had to say: Ut is rumored that the proposed new bridge will be strongly ,op-' posed by a class of our citizens who think more of their paltry taxes than they do of the public veal and general improvement of our city"
 the control of board of three Iar r.yt< <.SxJ to favor the new bridge for the Mad river, but were helpless to put it across because of opposition from the residents of other. sec tions of the city.
 Some of the property owners on Baldwin street held meeting and appointed a committed, of which the three seleced were made mcm- bers.
 A date for holding the meeting to discuss the new bridge, was set for the city hall. The day before the meeting, To and behold, the handbills were brought into ser vice and distributed to every per son who had occasion to cross the bridge. Suffice it to say that Baldwin street was represented 100 per cent strong when the meeting was called the next day. Put to a vote the Baldwin street residents carried the motion and got them- selves a new bridge.
 New Bridge Sought
 The present bridge is the third one erected since. Now residents of the Baldwin street section are agitating for new bridge. They claim the blanks in the bridge are dangerous to automobile driving and numerous civil suits have re- suited with the bridge as the basis for the suits.
 There was a time when it was dangerous to cross the bridge. but not because of the blanks or any

 In discussing clothes for the men and apparel for the women, it is surprising what the average young lady of modest means can do with a few dollars. It is al-
 most impossible for any man to make a cheap suit look swanky
 but tis not true of the fair sex. So many young women Ob the present age can take . dollar or two dollar hat and look just as
 "katish" as though she strutted Park avenue with a costly head
 piece. It is difficult, so the modiste critics claim, for the av- craze human to differentiate be- tween the high-priced and the cheap material on the woman, who knows how to keep her clothes almost immaculate-evcn though they are not purchased at the better shops. "What sur- prises me-" said woman while discussing the subject this week, "is the number of we'll dressed women, young and old, along the streets of Waterbury. They com pare more than favorably with the women of the average indus trial city,"
