EVERY CITIZEN \ SOLDIER
 ON DUTY AT OWN HOME

Everyone must help if We are to win-the soldier must obey orders or there will be no army The people must be one or there will be no na- tion. So that we win, all of us must follow directions.
 This is your war guide for use in your home.
 It tells you what foods we must save to provision ourselves and our allies; it tells how we can stretch our supplies so everyone will have enough without any hurt to your health and strength.
 Your government does not ask you to give up three square meals a day nor even one. All it asks is that you eat less of the foods we need to keep the armies going and eat all you want of the other things that we have in plenty
 Eat plenty-keep up your strength and your vim to help win the war You have dedicated to the nation everything that you have; you are asked now to give up-just some hab- it's of the kitchen and table
 America and her allies must not run out of wheat, meat or fats. If we let that happen, Germany will win the war.
 We must save sugar, use every drop of milk, and-we must learn to follow directions Official Bulletin.

sNNDIcATE BOXING A
 MENACE TO. SPORT
A Trust Seems to Be Specializing ir Bantamweights and -Heavies.

~ Syndicate boxing is beginning to loom up as a. new, menace to the, glove sport, says the New York Sun The reason that wrestling is in , bad odoF is that most of the mat artists is un-. der the control of one manager, and now these objectionable methods are being employed more and more in the ring game The trust seems to be speciAing in bantains and heavy weights. Recently the men, forming the syndicate acquired Pal Moore and Joe Burman, two promising ,midgets who were weaned away from the men who had, brought them to the fAont.
 Jack Dempsey. the promising young heavyweight, is the latest acquisition of the trust. which is anxious to gain control of all the men who might pos sibly- win the title Until the Den1- psey- Morris fight at Buffalo recently Morris was the trusts hope. Ust now Dempsey looks more+ promising and. he will get most of the boosting in the future. ~,-,t, tt-tsf
 If New York ever gets another boxing commission the new rule to go. on the books should be one that prohibits any manager from directing the fstic destiny. of more than one boxer in the same class. In the meantime. it .. would be we'll. for the commissions still operating to take action in the matter before boxing reaches the same deplorable condi-
 ton that prevails in wrestling.

STORIES OF. sPoRTsMEN.
By SOL MEETZGER

Gradually Our; eastern colleges are coming back tosa normal basis in the matter of intercollegiate competition. The decision to hold their annual championship track and field meets at Franklin Field is but another proof of it. The struggle of the academic to kill inter collegiate Competition and substitute ,sport-for all has not met with support. The undergraduate and the alumnus do not want such a programme, even in war time. What nearly everybody knows is to be the result of this war on amateur sport in America, and college sport in par tcular, is already being felt. Athletics of the strenuous intercollegiate va iety and physical training for all stu dents is the aim of the wise edu- cator. They go hand in hand. the one providing the means and stimulus for the other. That is what this column has always striven for because it means greater efficiency
 We are finding a big need for our college athletic trainers and coaches at lVst. More and more are the de- mands of the army for men qualified to teach games and train individuals in special physical tasks. And com pany rivalry, which breeds company spirit, is the means to that end. What a pity such a man as the late Mike Murphy, trainer at Pennsylvania and
 Yale. is not now available. Murrhys s

on February p, and Dartmouth the following evening. Games on foreign floors are to be played against Yale, February 2e; against Dartmouth on March 2. and against Princeton, on March 9. While the Red and Blue would appear to have a moral title to the championship, yet the laurels are by no means secured Cornell with four games wsn and one lost and of Princeton standing two and two each have a chance to challenge the lead CTS. Cornell, of course, is the likeli- est possibility in this direction. If she should happen to defeat the Quak- CTS Washington's birthday, Joudets pupils would be entitled to emotions of .foreboding concerning the future
 Cornell plays Princeton the night following the visit of the Ithacans. to Weightman hall and on March q, she entertains Columbia on her home floor On March 9 Yale goes to Ithaca.
 It will thus be seen that if the Red and White >an get by the Pennsyl- vania and Princeton contests she will have pretty clear sailing But she has not yet got by the puisant Quak CTS and steadily improving Tigers. Of Princeton's five remaining contests three are at Princeton the Yale, Columbia and Cornell games - and two away from home-~the second Columbia and the second Darthmout games.
 Yale. Columbia and Dartmouth seemed destined to figish in order Pennsylvania as usual is light five but the whirlwind passing, clever de- fence, and fine shooting of this extra ordinary outfit have been the despair of their heavier rivals.

New York. Feb. 2o.-InvestmenA stocks were under pressure during to- days more restricted trading, for which foreign conditions, especially the Russian situation, were chiefly ac-' countable.
 Pools were less conspicuous, prob ably because of the general profit taking that accompanied the recent. advance, and public interest as denot- ed by commission houses showed a percepta,le dilninution. # Dealings once more centered in in dustrials, notably war stocks, ship pings and .specialties, comprising the automobile and oil groups, but the trehd in these issues was often so con- f1icting as to defy analysis. Rails reflected their recent lassitude, moving within fractional limits for the most part. U. $. SteePs course was typical of that pursued by affiliated equipments, holding slightly above or

 when prices eased one to two points all around. Sales amounted to 760,000 | shares
 The late reaction in industrials was I the more inexplicable from the fact that trade advices were unusually en-
 couraging. The capacity of the lead ing iron and steel mills shows large
 expansion during Sthe current week with other lines of manufacture. Time funds were again quoted at 6 per cent, with practically no supply,

MoNTVILLE MAN FOUND
 DEAD IN THE ROAD.
Fred Rogers May Have Been Struck
 by Automobile, .

Fred Rogers. a woodchopper, who has been making his home at Walnut Hill, Chesterfield, town, of Montville, for some time, met violent death in Jefferson avenue New London. Tues day night His dead body, with a Fracture of the skull at the forehead, was found about 6 o'clock Wednesday morning. The manner of his. death is not certain. but is supposed that Rog- CTS was struck by an automobile.
 Edward Neff found the body. Neff was walking to work from his home beyond the cemetery when he came upon Rogers 'lifeless body at the side of the road at a point near the eastern boundary of Cedar Grove cemetery Neff immediately notified New L.on- don police headquarters and after Medical Examiner H. H. Heyer was notified, Policeman David Nagle was sent out to guard the body pending the arrival of. the medical examiner. The latter arrived few minutes later and after a cursory examination of the body ordered it removed to undertak- ing rooms -e
 Rogers body lay beside the road, face downward, and it was evident that life had been extinct several hours. The l drenched condition of the clothing showed that the body had been lying in the rain for several hours Rogers was fully clothed except that he did uot have an 0vercoat, and this garment was found in the road 8 short distance from the body
 At the undertaking rooms an exam | ination showed that Rogers had a fracture of the skull in the middle oi fthe forehead, the wound being betwetr two and three. inches long. There were also two other scalp wounds,- one or each side of the forehead. but there were no other. wounds or bruises or

 son avenue and Mrs Leon A. Gardne
 at AS2 Jefferson avenue, where he in
 quired for a man named Joe He di j.not mention a last name. It is state that Rogers was intoxicated at tha time. His body was found only;a shor distance from these houses.
 Whether Rogers received the injurie
 which resulted in his death by acci I dent or foul play is hard to determine If he. met with. foul play, robbery wa evidently not the motive, for $2230 wa found in pocket of his clothing. un less the robbers were frightened ava before they could accomplish thei U purpose.
