SCHOOL CHILDREN
enter A PROTEST

(Bv Associated Press.)

Cleveland, O., Nov. 5.-All day ses-
sions, broken only by the pink tea
luncheons at high prices is the griev-
ance of five hundred pupils of the
West high school, whose strike was
recessed at the close of the school
week until Monday morning. A
meeting of the school board has been
called for Monday morning to con-
slider the complaints of the students
which resulted in their walking out
last Tuesday.
The main grievance of the boys is
against the forenoon and afternoon
sessions. They want to work during
the afternoons. The girls are object
ing to the price on the luncheon
menu, although the boys of the foot
ball squad assert they cannot, cover
their colors with glory on cream
puffs and carmel ice cream or on
pickles alone at one cent each. Cup
cakes and orange ices they declare
are undignified, unmanly. AS to the
double sessions the girls also have
some complaint. They maintain
that the art of domestic science, such
DIS COOh1A6s oWCOPAA6 d1Au Ve1oAAA6
dishes at home, is sadly neglected,
when they are compelled to remain in
the classrooms all day.
School Director Orr finally an.
nounced that he was in favor of
abolishing the lunch room concession
and have the board of education
supply wholesome lunches at cost.
The directors also visited the West
high, school lunch room today and
recommended several changes.
It is expected that mass meeting
of the parents of the strikers will be
held next Wednesday when the ques-
ton of double or single sessions will
be left to them in a referdum vote.
This plan may be altered however,
by possible action of the board Of
education in the meantime.
All of the strikers are above the
age which would give the school Of
ficials legal authority to compel their
attendance.

BUSINESS WoMAN
Not New Type, Says Waterbury
 Pastor-Lydia Was in Trade.

Woman's Position in the Modern Business World was the title of Sun day evenings sermon by the Rev. Frank Dunwell Walter in the First NJ. E. church at Waterbury
 Mr. Walter took for his text And a certain woman named Lydia, a sell CT of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us whose heart the Lord opened that she attended unto the things which were spoken by Paul." Acts xvi:14. He said in part:
 Lydia. the Christian business wo- man, mentioned in the text, suggests to us the position which woman holds today. It is a significant fact that her position Is not new one. This pas sage clearly teaches us. that at least one woman. long time ago, was en- gagged in quite an extensive business as purple seller
 woman has taken a permanent po- sition in the business world. She is making her place more permanent and necessary as each year completes its circle. Butfet us remember that her position Is not that of a mere laborer but a positive power in the intellectual and professional life of our nation She has taken her stand by the side of man and demonstrated her ability to cope with all the intellectual and scientific problems of the day
 Not long ago I noticed in the paper an account of protest on the part oi some Columbia university men against diploma being given to some young woman who had completed the entire course of study. They were informed by the faculty that if they did not appear with the women and receive their diplomas by their side theX would never receive them. One beau tiful characteristic is manifested ir the character of Professor Hilprechi of the university of Pennsylvania when he pays such a beautiful tribute to his wife in the introduction to his great book upon archaeological re- searches, saying the work would mol have been possible without her valua- ble and patient help"

GAME COMMISSIONER.
Gives Valuable Suggestions to Gun
 Club of Seymour

Commissioner Crampton urged that Seymour Gun club this week, when the club was addressed by State Commis- sioner Crampton, whose talk was of much interest and full of valuable sug- gestions.
 Commissioner Crampton. urged that there be closer cooperation between sportsmen and the commissioners, for only by cooperation could the end in view, the proper preservation of game In Connecticut, be assured. There is vast amount of poaching going on, and without the assistance of the sportsmen themselves the commission CTS and the wardens are nearly pow erless. There have been a number of prosecutions for violating game laws Tn the county during the past year. and in only one case was there a failure to convict those charged with transgress- Ing the laws.
 FaVors Feeding Pens.
 MT. Crompton spoke very favorably Of establishing feeding pens for part ridge and other game obtained from the state and placed in the woods for restocking purposes. The birds are likely to die of starvation if feeding pens are not established. as proved to be the case recently with the Hungar- ian cartridges placed in the forests of New Haven county.
 Mir. Crampton also favored the cut ting down the open season for hunt ing quail. cartridges, squirrels and small game. He thought that the hunting season should not commence until October IS, and the fishing sea- son not until April 15. The early hunt Ing and fishing resulted in the de- struction of a large amount of imma- ture game. The weather is generally still quite cold on April 1. and trout can be caught very easily by even the most inexperienced.
