 "We are not considering the ques- tions of daAcing and secret societies for those in adult life, but those of high school age, which is essentially and emphatically another matter. It is pretty nearly the truth to say that the individuals ethical, moral and religious status is fixed during the four years of high school life. This is the time when nature, having completed the essential development of the young individual as 8 child, accomplishes the subtle and unspeakably important task of differen- tiating conscious sex, confirming temper ament and offering the supreme choice of the soul, one path leading up the the other down.

 men play low and charge as they have done in the past, do not think one man will be able to gain through them at all.
 Make them play up and he would have some chance at least of slipping past them. These rules will tend to put 1 the game back, more on a basis with that of 1892, when it was more of the in dividual. There was little interference and no concentrated, massed attack. The development of fine team play and con centrated attack began under Woodruff at Pennsylvania and Stagg at Springfield Training School at the same time. Be. fore that there was no mass play be-
 cause the game had not been systema-
 tized. Now there will be none because it will be impossible.

BIRDS NECESSARY
 ID PROSPERITY
BY HERBERT K. JOB TState Ornithologist)

To inctease the numbers of our use- fuI insectiyorous birds is one of the cry ing needs in Connecticut at the present time. Probably never before in our history has there been such a prevalence of insect pests and blights upon vegeta- tion as this season The apple crop is riddled in many sections; the fine elms which shade our streets are rapidly dying; the valuable chestnut tree is on the road to extinction; the gypsy and brown-tailed moths are spreading into the State, leaving in their trail the deso- lation as of winter; and there are innum- erable other pests.
 Some of these cannot be directly af- fected by the birds, but many of them can be. We can never spray the entire vegetable kingdom, but the birds can glean insects from every tree and plant that exists, if we will only provide the conditions under which they can increase again to normal abundance. That birds are useful and essential to the success of agriculture is recognized by all scientists and by every civilized government, and is fact beyond controversy. The an- nual loss to agriculture in the United States through insect depreciation is es- timated by experts at eight hundred millions of dollars. It is recognized that

The police. however have seized
upon three points In Mrs. Rawn's
statement that they consider Of i'm

The first ig the declaration by Mrs

her assertion that Mr.. Coburn pre-
ceded her down stairs and that he
had turned on the lights before she
reached her husbands body, and the
third Is the statement that Mr. Rawn

The police say these three points
