For instance, a shop sage says that the
reason the ball is called pigskin is that
in the old days a pigs bladder was
used to give buoyancy to the ball. The
bladder has been discarded and rubber
substituted.
The regulation intercollegiate ball
weighs from thirteen and one-quarter
to fourteen ounces. The soccer ball
weighs from thirteen to fifteen ounces.
Skins for football covers are careful

tory after special treatment. The
slightest flaw in a hide means rejec-

In the cutting room skill is required
to prevent waste. Cutting is done with
machinery. The cutter divides the hide
into as many oval sections as possible
and sends the pieces to the girls who
take up the next stage, which consists
Of carefully lining the leather with cot

done perfectly.
The liners are stitched together on
one machine and the covers on another.
From the last machine the covers come
wrong side out, and the better grades
are reversed by hand. The cheaper are
turned right side. out by machinery.
Turning a football cover by hand re-
quires great strength. Some men do
nothing else and as a result become ex-
ceptionally strong of hand. wrist and
arm.
The rubber bladder is inserted, and

Well, whatever betides, one feature
of the old inaugural ceremonies will
remain. Mr.. Taft will escort Mr..
Wilson to the Capitol and return with
him to the White House. That ride
down the avenue and back, the win
ner and the loser sitting side by side,
is the supreme feature of the festivi-
ties. That alone, in theatrical par
lance, is "worth the price of admis-
sion." 1t affords to all beholders the
most impressive illustration of our
unity as a people, and the admirable
way in which National verdict rem
defed at the polls is accepted. Only
once in our history has any incivility
marked the ceremony. John Adams,
denied a second term and piqued at
the result, hustled out of Washington
in a carriage the night before. and
left Mr.. Jefferson without the proper
escort to the Capitol to take the oath
of office. But Mr.. Jefferson, serene
after the manner of a gentleman un-
der an undeserved slight, presented
himself in the best toggery cut in the
latest fashion, and qualified.
Has anybody who witnessed forgot
tenethe grace with which Mr.. Arthur
bore himself on the way to and =. the
Capitol when Mr.. Cleveland was first
inaugurated? DID Mr.. Cleveland ever
make so good an appearance in public
as when in 1889 he escorted General
Harrison and in 1897 Mr.. Mckinley?
And did not General Harrison in 1893
return Mr.. Cleveland's compliment
handsomely?

The Kenyon-Sheppard bill, the OBJ
ject of which is to enable the Federal
Government to prevent the shipment
of liquor in Interstate commerce into
States where the sale of liquor is for
bidden, is apparently on the road to
successful passage. Two weeks ago
it seemed almost certain that things
were so arranged in the Senate as to
prevent this bill from coming to a
vote. By accident however, a un-
animous contest agreement, was en-
tered upon which the opponenents to
the bill have found themselves unable
to break. So, next Monday, Feb.
10, at 3 O'Clock in the afternoon, the
bill, will be voted upon. It's friends
believe that they will be able to Sc
cure a majority for the measure.

AFTER COTTAGE HIEVEs.
Captain Murray Chases Three Men
 Who Succeed in Getting Away.

The search for the persons respon- sible for breaking into all but one ot the summer cottages at Alexander's lake was extended to this city Thurs day afternoon on information that three men who are believed to know something Of the crooked work and may be responsible for it were seen about l o'clock heading toward Put nam from the vicinity of the lake.
 Constable Grimshaw of AttaWaugau, who was out on the case, was brought here in an automobile by Harry Morse of this city, and the visiting constable reported the affair to Captain Murray who offered to aid in looking up the men.
 Mir Morse. a member of the local fire department, had been at the lake to investigate the doings of the burg lars at the Putnam firemen's camp, located in Phillips grove. He found that the place had been broken into and a quantity of canned goods and other things taken. While MT. Morse was there another autom obile party drove in to look over a cottage in which they were interested. for the re- port that all of the cottages had been visited by thieves was quickly spread by Killingly officials. that owners might have an opportunity to check up.
 As soon as the matter was reported to Captain Murray he started out in MT Morse's machine with Constable Grimshaw and two others, on the search. About, two miles south of Put nam. after his party had deployed and were distributed through that section of territory, Captain Murray saw the three men he was after. They were on the railroad track at a point between Whites crossing, so called, and the one just north of it. They were heading back toward Dayville. The captain immediately set out after them and then they saw him and started to run for the woods. east of the tracks. The captain fired his revolver to get the attention of the other members of his party searching in the woods, and while this had the desired effect it also served to speed up the quarry. Cap tain Murray ran himself out in the chase after the men, as did others in the pursuing party but the fellows lost them in the run through the brush and woods. Captain Murray returned here about dark but other members of the party continued the search

attack, stating he must admit the pa per was the best he ever heard but as a man he stood his ground strongly, protesting, producing sound argument that the women should not be given equal rights. He showed how they would look as policemen.
 MT Lester rose, asking why don't they keep away from men if they want equal rights, that men can do without t&em but they. cannot do without men. They sit and look to the men for money, etc.
 Miss Queenie Duffy next spoke. strongly defending the women She said yes, they have been soldiers aI- ready, and are quite willing to be again.
 1r Lewis asked for information on equal rights, The reader of the paper saiG she meant in a broad sense every thiue man can do women can do.
 Mr Hall rose, appearing for women, instancing the burden our mother suf- fered for us and several arguments.
 Then the president advanced pro- test, asking how women would act as presidents, and introducing many other points.
 Miss Grace Leathers. was then intro duced in rebuttal She began on the spiritual leaders, what those have done in the past and are doing in the pres ent. She rapped the pastor pretty hard
 MT Harold made motion that the paper read should be printed in a Put nam newspaper. as he had traveled widely yet had never heard one like this and offered to pay all expenses.
 The meeting then closed. Next Sun day at D. m. the subject will be Dan gers of the Moral Age and How to Avoid Them. Rev c. A. Gooding is the pastor.

The theatres will have their permits and will be open again today (Frl- day).
 State Officers Robert W. Bridgeman and J. F. Flynn inspected the local houses and gave the order for closing them.
 Manager Fine of the Bradley theatre has also made arrangements for some slight changes as to exits, so that when the house opens again today it will answer every reasonable requirement. of an inspector
 The unexpected appearance of the state police and the closing of the houses caused the theatres to lose a good slice of business during Thurs : day. but the managers were resigned to that
