DREDGE POTOIIIAC “WORKING DAY
AND NIGHT ON PARK PROJECT
Hundreds Continue to Line Washington Street
Bridge, Watching Marine Monster Operate
The south-west corner of the Sea-
view avenue park project is now
completely filled with mud pump-
ed from the harbor. This week the
dredge Potomac began pouring fill
directly in the war of the city dock.
The filled in po1tion adjacent to the
cribbing from the dock to the W ash-
ington street bridge is about a foot
below the level of the dock.
The dredge has been working
night and day on the job before the
\tterested gaze of hundreds of
people. and the harbor has been
deepened about six feet in a. large
rift slightly south of the bridge.
Wprkmen have recently construc-
ted a draining ditch running from
the south end of the area to be filled
into the space in back of the city
dump. ,
This allows the water coming
through the delivery pipes to run
off. and the mud settles behind the
dock. About 76 per cent of the flow
from the pipe is water. which must
drain off before a solid foundation
can settle.

Within the past few years and
with amazing rapidity. the pools.
rivers lakes and ocean beaches of
the nation have become the play-
grounds of the people. With this
increased participation in water
sports. it is vitally necessary that the
general public recognize the values
_ of swimming.
Leading men of the country have
emphasized the fact that it is the
duty of every man. woman and
- child to see that he or she to a
swimmer. Swimming is a means not
only of keeping oneself fit for serv-
ice. but frequently of rendering in~
valuable aid.
To be a member of the American
Red Grass Life Saving Corps should
be the ambition of every swimmer.
One cannot but help cite the won-
derful scriice rendered by the Life
Saving Corps of our local branches.
Swimming makes people want to
be clean. It is not pleasant to put
on soiled clothing after a vigorous
bath. The desire to he immaculate
grows stronger and improvement in
habits of personal cleanliness is no-

Bridgeport market reports,
furnished by the Commissioner
of Agriculture of the State of

MARKET CONDITIONS: The va-
riety of native vegetables was in-
creasing on the morning wholesale
market as offerings of nearby sweet
corn, cucumbers. peppers. tomatoes
and Astrachan apples were for sale.
in addition to those vegetables which
were formerly being brought in reg.
ularly. New potatoes and onions
from nearby sources began arriving
last week and this morning were
more freely offered. Products which
were coming in freely earlier were
most of them still in liberal supply.
raspberries. currents and cherries b
ing the first to decrease sharply i
supply and now are about of! the
market.
Trading in native vegetables was
I being done at prices even with late

last week for beets. carrots. cucum-
bers, lettuce. potatoes. onions and
peppers. Cabbage and snap beams
were meeting with a somewhat more
active demand and the market for
them was firmer. Squash was more
freely offered and was weaker.
Sweet corn was showing a. slightly
easier market tone but offerings of
it from home-grown sources were
very light and scattering. the liberal
supply of New Jersey stock being
the cause of the weaker position to-
day.
Apples were selling for $2.25 per
bilishel for best, native offerings of
Red Astrachans, fancy offerings from
New Jersey selling for 250 per bush-
.ei higher figures in some cases. More
‘ ordinary fruit sold down to $1.50 per
bushel. Peaches were not as liberal
in supply as a week earlier and the
market for them held firm.
Veal was firm, best beet held firm

tlceable. Enjoyment of personal
cleanliness extends to appreciation of
a clean environment. Children learn
to like clean school rooms and clean
homes.
dl‘he motions used in swimming
develop the body. The “dog paddle"
taught to children develops the chest
and helps to correct curvatures. The
breast stroke develops the shoulder
girdle, chest and lungs; gives sym-
metry to arms and legs; aids diges-
tion, regulates elimination by exer-
cising the trunk muscles. promotes
regular breathing and increases en-
durance.
The American crawl develops
breathing. gives firmness lo the hips
and strengthens the ankles and feet.
Some of the most important values
to the average swimmer are, the de-
velopment of wholesome mental at-
titudes. the chief one being self-con-
fidence. a vital asset to any success—
ful man or woman.

Plans to Straighten
Road a n (1 Bridge
R. R. Tracks
HARTFORD. July 22.—-—"Dead
man's curve." a double. right-angled
curve on the Boston Post road. un-
der the railroad viaduct' at South-
port. is to be completely eliminated
according to plans now being work-
ed out by the State Highway Depart-
ment.
Instead of making the double turn
to pass under the railroad tracks
the road will be carried on a bridge
over the railroad tracks. in a
straight line. The cutoff will be-
gin somewhere near the present
Junction of the Post road and the
Mill Hill road, and will come back
to the present line of the Post road
west of the double come. near the
Junction of West street, Southport.
The elimination of this double
curve will be one of the most im-
portant engineering fonts in the im-
provement of the Post road in
Fatitieid county. Dead man' s curve"
at Southport has earned its grisly
soubriquet by the frequency of bad
accidents at this point. Approach-
lng Southport from the west. the
Post road runs due west until .it
reaches this corner. Then it turns
.1
at an angle of about 60 degrees to
pass under the railroad viaduct. The
turn is a blind one and the presence
of trolley tracks complicates its
dangers. ..
Passing under the -ilroad via-
duct tho 'Post road tur northwest

ner. Here it is Joined by three
other roads—-—Pequot road. Main
street and Nic street. all converging
at Carey's corner. The combintion
of bad turns. railroad viaduct. trol-
ley tracks and converging roads
makes this corner the most dreaded
spot for traffic and the most fre-
quent spot for accidents on the Post
road.
Except for the purposes of local
Sonthport traffic this sector will be
completely eliminated under the
new layout. The main line of the
Post road, passing over the rail-
road instead of under it. will then
avoid Carey‘s corner entirely and
will be absolutely straight instead
of making a double curve.
