PLENTY [Ii DRINKING PLACES
Many Prominent Mon and Women of
The Neighboring Town Sign a Doo-
ument Protesting Against Two
saloons in Main Btrsct.
ll Westport is aroused over two ap-
plications for liquor licenses, and the
County Commissioners are in receipt
of a long remonstrunce upon which are
the. names of said townspeople. Hen-
ry l'cnnoyer applies for a license at
No. 6 Main street. and Alols Manner
for one at 8 Main street.
The first communication on the sub-
ject, was received some time. ago. from
itev. Kenneth Mackenzie. of Holy
Trinity Church, who. In a letter couch—
ed In strong terms. objected to any
more saloons in “drink-sodden West
port." and particularly to the estab-
lishment of a drinking place in Main
street. The clergyman intlmlated that
ids objection would be followed by a
substantial opposition from the citl
zone and particularly the women.
The character of the rcmoustrance
would almost warrant the applicants
withdrawing. as It is so strongly back
ed. that It is extremely doubtful If the
commissioners would consider it wis-
dom to grant the license. So for no
hearing has been set. and it is not un-
likely the contest will continue. Fol
lowing Is the remonstarncc:
“The ground of this protest is. first
that a new saloon. such as Is proposed
by Ponnoyer. adds one more to a town
already burdened with this traffic.
Second. that the location chosen for
both of the above places on our most
frequented thoroughfare. two saloons
adjoining. and being opposite that of
the hotel. brings three saloons within
ll radius of loss than _..i feel.
"Third. that the business houses of
a number of our merchants are reach.
ed by the citizens of Westport by pass-
lng these buildings and in turn. the luv
liabltauts who live up Main street
have to pass them on their way to the
posloillcc. and other business houseu
There Is no more densely traveled
place in the town.
"li‘ourth. this protest being signed by
the women of Westport. Is an evidence
that they deplore having to constantly
cross this spot. with its vile odors. it“
hruwling noises. and hangers on: and
us well that they would shield the chil
drop from the contaminations which
must. result from this association of
evil."

MUTUAL CONFIDENCE NEEDED.
Between the Women Who Work and
the Women Who Toll Not.
Editor of The Sentinel:
After reading the very strong arti—
cle that hasnppoarsd in the Sentinel.
and would be proud of the “Women
Who Work}I in those two cities. it
was a stirring letter. All it says of
the workers seems to one who has
never yet. fouml this gulf we read
about. to be if“ to true. ‘
Yet surely th "Women Who Work."
who have worked. or who must work.
and the women who can sometimes
play, because someone is working or
has worked for her. need each other.
and this more than either may realize.
Might not. the friendliness that an-
swers this need come through the sym—
pathy that understands, and wants to
understand. and can this sympathy be
other than through mutual confidence“!
Places and works neither make nor
prevent this. one may find. and friend-
liness comes as we grow into it's
grace.
is it not possible that some efforts
of class to help class. have arisen from
ii real desire to’bizeak away from self-
centered lives. to know more and hct‘
tor. other women?
We do nutmenn to hurt one another.
lull in the fog of misunderstanding. all
is cold. unreal. ‘ ml the sunnlness of a
mutual sympat y must lift from us
this dreary strangeness. li'ogs are ul.
ways lnexcusnblc. If we. do not under-
stand one another. it Is time we did.
The one surefi place of mutual com.
prehenslon for men and women.'or for
women and women. is In friendship.
To reach this. we must know and be
known as we are.
If we stand this test—and some-
times lt. takes a long tline-then good
grows with the knowledge. Thinking
of each othernnot as sets of people
but as nice women. with nice women.
can we. not rise through the higher
power to the plane where we

TESTING THE FIRE ALARM.“

Norwalk System to Work Properly.
The first of a series of Wednesday
noon tests of the Nor-walk fire alarm
system. was made. yesterday. to ascer-
tain whether the recent failure of the
alarm to work properly. was owing to
improper interference between the
Stevens and Gainewell fire alarm box

non~lnterfcrencc boxes. The test to-
day wns the pulling of Box 58. Stevens
corner of Catherine and Fair street,
and ilox 52. Gameweil. corner of Main
and Catherine streets. The two boxes
are. in sight of each other. one being
practically at each end of the street.

nal from Chief Engineer Prowitt milled

ignored him. The chief alleges that,
the officer asked for the shield from ';
the mayor in a. tone that implied
insult. At all events, Mayor Glow «.

take care of the matter. ignoring the
fact that the request had been made
to him. and not to Chief Brodie . '
Some warm words were exc paged
between Chief Bradley and Oflloor vale .
