overtime was worked, the highest
rates were paid by the taxpayer for
the material and labor. and yet it may
safely be said that a large number OF
these costly contracts could perfectly
wen have stood over till a period Of
slack work set In. Everybody would
have gained by this. Overtime means
increased wages to men who have al
ready put In a days work At the
standard rate. and the work is never
SO well done. No public body ought
To allow overtime TO be worked for
the completion OF their contracts. In
the royal dock Yards and ~arsenals it
can only be justified In special cases
of real emergency. II may be safely
said that our mechanical means Of
production are more than sufficient In
private yards and shops alone to un-
dertake the normal government and
municipal work OF the country.
At the present moment. owing
largely to the high pressure OF work
two years ago. our private arsenals
have little or nothing on hand Yet
materials are cheap. wages have fallen
and municipal bodies could have their
tramwnys. their electric power sta
tons, their water supplies. their sew

COLLEGE SPORTS
MATTHEW H. ROGERS, Score

Several recent unfortunate accidents eon the football field have been made the occasion of any number of arguments pro and con on the subject of sports in general and of football Ill particular Some go so far as to demand that athletics of all kinds be barred from our colleges and that they may be made solely institutions for education.
 The old Latin motto, "Mens sana in oorpore sano"-a sound mind in sound body-will hold good ill this case, as it has been amply proven many times that a judicious intermingliug of physical exercise and intellectual pursuits pro- 'duce the best all around man. Many @ brilliant intellect has been hindered in its life work by being handicapped with d weak physical organism.
 It IS also as necessary for the student tso be interested in trials of strength and skill as it is for him to be an enthusiast An contests for intellectual supremacy, zand the withdrawing of either incentive would be very bad thing for our insti- 7tutions of learning. There is not much danger of this coming to pass, as the American youth dearly love a scrap of any kind, physical or intellectual.
 The story has been told of the late Henry Ward Beecher that early one 41n Jrning he was seen by one of his ~deaoons coming up the street reading a newspaper and W"s So intent that Ee would have passed the deacon if he had not been stopped by h1m and asked what 1he was so interested in. MT. Beecher Teplied in substance:-'I am almost ashamed to say that was reading about the prize fight that took place yesterday. I think prize fighting is brutal and that the fighters are blutes, but I could hardly wait for my morning paper to find out who licked
 That contains the whole nub of the matter. Aside from the contestants and the students ill a college the people all over the country are interested in these contests, as witness the 35,OG0 people who attended the Yale Princeton game Hast Saturday and the probably twenty lml]lion more who looked anxiously for ;their morning paper to find out "who Kicked"

RESOLUTIONS

At stated communication of Housa- tonic Lodge, No. 6l, F. X X. NJ, held in Masonic Hall Thursday evening, Nov, 18th, those resolutions were adopted:
 WHEREAs-This Lodge learns with profound sorrow of the death in dis. tant city fBrotherThaddeusW Parsons, a member of this Lodge for 3S years,
 Brother Parsons came to Canaan in the early seventies in the capacity of engineer for what is now the Central New England R. R. and joined Housa- tonic Lodge soon after, in its inception. At the completion of the work he moved to the city of Lyons, N. T., but always retained his memb :.3hip with housa- tonic, alva~s ':>epir. the Lodge in. formed of his location by regular cores pondence, and always showing a deep interest in its welfare. His high stan dard of morals among his fellow work men were quoted as the right things to follow, and his advice in many con. troN ersies in those times was usually followed with good results for all con- cerned.
 He is remembered by the older mem- bcrs of the fraternity as being a just and upright member always loyal to the tenets of the institution and solicitous for the welfare of it's members and in his death the fraternity loses n true and faithful Brother and as the news of his death IS borne to us we feel the break ing of another chain that binds us to this world and the unwinding of another cord that draws us to the world to come.
 AND BE IT RESOLVED: That these resolutions be entered in the records of this lodge aud copy be duly transmitted to the family of our deceased Brother.
