The enigma of the girl so deeply in

only with difficulty that he concocted

eventually composed and submitted to
the telegraph clerk with fervent, If
inaudible, prayer that he might be

Whether or not this we're Greek to
the man behind the wicket in the tele
graph bureau, it was accepted with
complete indifference-or, rather, with
an interest that apparently evaporated
upon receipt of the fees. Lanyard

to bury his identity finally and forever

The Washington Americans made be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000 during the
season IN spite of reported light attend
ance at games early in the season. The
attendance was larger than in 1915.
The combined applications by mem
bers OF Harvard and Yale universities
have more than cared for the $4,000
seats IN the Yale bowl for the annual
Yale Harvard football game. Over 30
600 applications by outsiders have been
turned down.
The large delegation of Brattleboro
football enthusiasts who iourneved to
Springfield Saturday were satisfied that
they witnessed an exciting game. Nate

TO STOP SHIPMENTS
 OF FERTILIZER MATERIAL
Complaints Received in Regard to the DisagreeabIe Odors of c. M. Shay Consignments.


 The New Haven road was notified Wednesday by the New London health department that it must discontinue carrying fertilizer material shipped either to or from the Shay fertilizing plant at the Navy Yard or suffer prosecution.
 Health Officer Chipman has receiv- ed numerous complaints of late about the stench that arises from cars of the New Haven road containing ship ments of the fertilizer material Often cars containing this material has been allowed to remain standing on the tracks for two or three days and sometimes even longer periods, Creat- ing what he considers a menace to public health and a nuisance.
 It is claimed that the material is shipped in ordinary barrels and other containers which are not water tight and that the fluid contents leak out into the car and onto the ground. Such an instance came to the attention of the health officer Wednesday morn ing.
 A car loaded with fertilizer material was in the yard at the foot of Sta te street where it was being switched about and during the switching move mentS quantities of liquid leaked along the tracks in the vicinity of the Union station, forming big puddles in some places. The health officer ordered the officials of the New Haven road to sprinkle chloride of lime on the places and the order was complied with, giv- ing some relief from the smell and minimizing the menace to health.
 A similar order is to be given to the Montauk Steamboat Co. The cOmpanys steamer brings material from it's Long Island points and it is claimed that oftentimes the mater ial is not even in any kind of a con- faS 1-1yf ,1y.9 1DI 1- &T,, wharf from where it is shoveled and carted away on wagons of the Shay company.
 Health Officer Chipman states that if the material were shipped in metal containers which were water tight and the cars moved immediately to their destination, the nuisance and menace would be obviated but that the present conditions are unbearabIe and must cease.
