Some cities, which were greatly in- fated in commerve, trade and pros- perity during the war are to-day wondering what has happened. One of those cities is Bridgeport, Conn., according to Edward B. Tuttle, for- merly a resident of Bridgeport, and now of Miami, who is at the Belmont During the war, he tells us, Bridge- port received as much publicity for its activities as any other city iu the country. Thousands of workers, from everywhere, flocked there; its shops, ordinarily used for the peace- ful trade of everyday activity, were turned into munition plants, and those plants which were quietly manufacturing war supplies became hustling hives of industry. More silk shirts and socks were sold than ever before; haberdashers, Jewellers, department stores, whose sales formerly averaged cents or a few dollars each, filled their shelves with expensive morchandise. There was an era of reckless buying, and Bridgeport profited. Te doubled population made jitney buses thick as ants. To-day there is little call for silk shirts in Bridgeport. The shops which catered to the expensive labor trade are empty and the old, un- fashionable, yet practicable merchan- ise has come again into view. The workers have gone, for they cannot mow get wartime wages, and with them have gone the wartime ex- travagance, the silk shirts and sox, the jitneys and inflated prosperity. te, the ae will stand this decline, old standards. eo ee THE OLD-TIMERS COME BACK.

THEY WERE HOT YESTERDAY Summer is. here. Yesterday, for the first time, the hotels were asked for electric fans, and scores were sent to the rooms of guests, That is the official barometer of the season.
