The Men and Religion Forward
Movement has struck New London and
is now in full blast. under the dtrec-
ton Of Judge Alfred Colt, assisted by
g. committee of one hundred Conscien-
tious church workers, and that consid-
cradle good will result is unqUestioned
This large committee will render per-
sonal or individual service in the main,
as the principal meetings. especially
those in the Lyceum theater Sunday
afternoon and evening, will be adj
dressed by experienced workers from
other cities. Laymen will supply some
Of the pulpits and take part in the
conduct of the services at the y. NJ. c.
A. rooms. The religious movement was
opened with a banquet at the Y NJ. G.
A. rooms Friday evening, when the
several features Of the campaign were
explained in seven minute speeches by
four men who have had experience in
the special lines OC work. At noon to-
day Saturday there will be meetings
at the Brown Cotton Gin and the D.
Wilton company machine shops, at
which brief addresses will be made
by team experts. The endeavor of the
campaign will be to reach men who
are not now active in church work, in
the hope of enlisting them in +he
cause of religion and without relat on
to any particular creed. Practical talk
win take the place of theology and by
this method 1t win probably get the
Indifferent thinking Of the good that
would surely result from united ef-
fort.
1t is many years since religious SER
vices have been held in any Of the
workshops Of the city, and the hun

named have arranged their MONDAY
meal so that they can attend the meet

Plans for the new stadium at Yale
field were submitted at the February
meeting of the Yale corporation Mon
day afternoon. The report of the COM
mittee of u was read by Secretary
Daggett of New Haven and showed
that property directly opposite Yale
field, approXimating so acres. had been
purchased at a cost within 100000 for
the purpose of providing general play
grounds for the undergraduate body.
In d general way it is proposed to
use part of the land for parking pur-
poses, from which revenue can be OF
tanned, as soon as the football stand is
up. 1t is farther proposed to erect for
the use of the students a large club
house with a large lounging room.

courts adjoining. The rest of the land
will be laid out for football fields,
baseball diamonds and tennis courts,
while the old field will be used for
baseball and football practice and for

stands giving three acres additional
land The present baseball stand will
be replaced by another permanent fire.
proof stand with a seating capacity Of
10000.
The committee expects 100000 to be
the total cost of the project, of which
$4,000 win go to the big football
stadium that will seat over $4,000 peO-
pie.
According to these provisions at
least half of the undergraduate body,
or 1900 men. can exercise al one time.
Fifty thousand dollars for the pur-
chase of land came from the funds Of
the Yale financial university, the re-
mainder being advanced by a member

Yale College, Feb. 22-Amid furry
of snow and with the campus a mass
of mud from the rain Of the night, the
annual Washington's birthday cane
rush between the sophomore and fresh
man classes was held this morning.
Immediately after chapel the two class
es formed, the upper classmen with
canes and high silk hats defending the
sophomore fence, while the freshmen
gathered at the other side of the
campus ready to capture the fence"
The rushing in the slippery ooze lasted
for Is minutes, when the time-hOnored
decision in favor of the freshmen was
given. Arthur Howe was head marshal
and the other "Y" men of the senior
class were the marshals. With this
rush ends the spirit Of rivalry between
the two classes.
The Washington's birthday rush is a
relic of the old days at Yale when it
was adopted as a speedy means of set
ting differences between sophomores
colleges, it was found far preferable
to petty hazing. But the old Bangor"
rush of 30 years ago was far different
from the cane rush of today. The
strife began after chapel and lasted all
day, and blood flowed freely Ind
bruises were plentiful. Snowballing
was feature then, as it had been in
the pastfew years. 1t came 10 be felt
that this style of rush was a little too
strenuous, the Dangers" were abolish

The statistics in regard to the health
of athletes recently published by Or.
William G. Anderson. director of the
Yale gymnasium, show that not only
are college sports not endaugcring the
health Of the. men engaging in them,
but that athletics are lettering the
physical condition and lowering the
death rate Of the college men.
DR. Anderson's figures refute the idea
that the highly developed athlete has
more muscle and more lung power than
he can use when he graduates and
takes up his long apprenticeship in
some sedentaTy occupation. that If he
is not careful the power Of lung and

So DR.. Anderson concludes that the

not from the strain of athletics.
A revision of the Yale college en-
trance requirements is discussed by
the last issue of the Alumni Weekly.
That some way will be found" by the
faculty committee now considering the
matter 'Of making the Yale college en-
trance requirements at least more hos
pitable to the college inclined youth Of
the country is most desirable, and so
far as the general faculty feeling on
the matter can be guaged is the prob
ably outcome Of the present investiga-
ton. Yale does not want. and cannot
, in the last analysis, afford to enter into
competition with other institutions for
students-least of all with the estab-
lished state universities and with those
other rapidly growing institutions in
the east and west that are making a
determined effort to bring themselves
into somewhat the position OF the top
rungs Of the ladder of free public edu-
cation. Competition for students is not,
and should not be, a factor in the Yale
situation. 1t is doubtful whether Yale
college could handle with the greatest
! success any marked increase in her
present undergraduate body Of 1900 or
so men. 1t is not more students that
Yale college wants, but the best stu
dents"

Hardly had the new automobile
chemical hose wagon been commits
stoned in the Pequot hose house when
along comes a chemical wagon with
non freezable tanks for the 7. NJ Wal
Ter Hose company at Ocean Beach, a
company of volunteers for service dur
ing the summer season and composed
In the main of beach cottagers, al
though with force sufficient to handle
the machine in emergency during the
winter This is a hand drawn appara-
tus. but is considered ample to hold in
check any fire that may be discovered
in the early stage until the arrival OF
the apparatus of the general depart
ment While the Pequot machine is
practically owned by the company, it
has been formally turned over to the
use Of the department and under the
direct orders of the chief, as is all
other fire apparatus in the city. Inc
chemical wagon at the beach is owned
by the city. but the Waller Hose com
pany is no part of the regular fire de-
partment.
These little incidents go to show the
interest taken among those who vol
unteer their service for fire duty, and
also demonstrates that the general
efficiency of the fire department is be-
ing gradually improved by the addi-
ton Of the latest there is in the fire
fighting line.
There is need, however, in the city
for combination chemical hose and
pumping apparatus that will do the
service of a chemical and hose wagon
and also a steam fire engine. With a
view to the purchase of such ma
chine. and the very best that is made,
as the best Is none too good for the
fremen Of New London, there was in
cluded for the purpose in the annual
budget an appropriation of $500.
While that sum will buy a fire fighting
apparatus, it is not adequate for the
purchase of the very best, with the
pumping attachment. Such a machine
costs about $4,000, and therefore the
mayor and the fire committee are in
the doldroms. But there is a solution
of the problem that is worthy of con-
sideration.

With all these organizations working

working in harmony, much should be

the alderman is getting the consent of
the heirs of Mr.. Lawrence who are
strangers to New London, to favor re-

volunteer fireman is likeness in
granite of Frederick l.. Allen, a for
mer foreman of Nameaug Engine COM

the city. When the memorial was pre-
sented the whole fire department was
equally interested in the monument
and there has been no change in senti-
ment. The resolutions that were en-
crossed and presented to Mr.. Lawrence
in appreciation of the gift came from
the department as a whole, and not
from any special committee.
The heirs Of Mr.. Lawrence have no
special interest as to the future loca-
ton of the monument, and naturally
will comply with any request in that
respect that is made by Foreman DON

Just what the heirs have to do with
that monument is difficult to under
stand. but their solicited approval may
have a moral effect when the time for
removal arrives. IT was practically
settled that the monument was to be
given prominent location in Memorial
park and so far as known this site
has not been abandoned by the court

more acceptable site than in the back

High tributes have been paid to the
memory of George Jarvis Brush, first
director of the Sheffield Scientific
school. whose death occurred in New
Haven on Feb. 6.
President Hadley's words were:
There was no man among us WHO
realized Yale's ideal Of public service
SO fully as George Jarvis Brush. No
one could look at him or talk with
him without realizing the essential
largeness of his mind and interest.
Yale has had g. number of scholars of
equal eminence in the ranks of her
faculty. She has had during her his
tory two or three leaders of equal or
ganizing power She may have had
one or two other men who came in
contact with the life of the community
about her on so many different sides.
But we have had no other man who
combined as Brush did the character
istics of the scholar. the organizer and
the public spirited citizen"
The late Professor Brush was
member of the first class graduated
from the scientific department Of Yale
in 1852, was professor of metallurgy in
the Sheffield school from 1855 to 1871,
and from then until 1898 was director
of that school. He was the last mem
Der of that class of '52S., numbering
seven, of which three others besides
Professor Brush became distinguished

at the Sheffield Scientific school; VII

BEAUTIFUL AND RARE
 THE ARIZONA GARNET
More Art Can be Learned at Bake's
 Big Curo Store

Big CurIo Store
 Here are some facts regarding the Arizona garnet which is a much rarer stone than is generally supposed. There are only three places in the world where the garnet is found It was discovered many centuries ago in Bohemia and 1t is stated that it is vet found nowhere else in the eastern continent. The Bohemian garnet is d little darker than the Arizona garnet. Alaska is the only other place in the western continent where the garnet has been found. The Alaskan garnet though larger than the Arizona stone is much soft CT and on account of a tendency to split in cutting is of little value. The Arizona garnet is harder than the Bohemian stone.
 The garnet was used as decor ation before the discovery of the diamond but the cutting of it at first and for some centuries was very crude. It was cut flat and not in facets to bring out the glorious luster.
 On account of the color. a very dark red. jewellers generally speak of
 the Arizona garnet as the Arizona ruby, and in hardness it almost equals the ruby. Its hardness is described by cutters as Is, that of the genuine ruby being 9, while that of the diamond is 10.
 The discovery of sarnets in this state have been so nifrequent that no attempt to mine for them has ever been made They are therefore found only by accident For several years, Mir. Bake of Balke's Big Curio store has been collecting them until he acquired very large num- Der. on his last trip to Europe he took many of the best of his col lection to GablOnZ, famous for it's garnet cutting hundreds of years and had them cut and mounted The mountings are all of gold in anti que design, to conform to the very old mountings which are now seen only in the shape of heirlooms
 He had them made in the shape of lavaiiers, bracelets, neck chains. brooches, scarf pins. The mountings has all been done by hand No two of the articles are alike. These ar ticles would therefore make doubl,' acceptable Christmas gifts
