Cling OF pairs In the senate has on
several occasions affected the vote on
very important measures. This has
occurred also on occasions when two
thirds votes are taken. The question
of pairs prevented Il vote on the woman
suffrage amendment two months ago,

of pairs is one of personal arrangement

there does not seem to be any way OF
remedying 1t.

FEW "DoN'Ts" FOR DAIRYMEN
Overlooking Causes More Stunted
Calves Than Underfeedino-Feed
Them In Stanchions.

In rearing and developing dairy
heifers:
Don't overfeed. Twice as many
calves are stunted by overfeeding as
by underfeeding.
Don't change suddenly from whole
to skim milk.
Don't keep calves in damp, dark,
crowded, poorly ventilated barns.
Don't feed milk in dirty pals.
Don't be irregular as to the time of
feeding, temperature or amount of
milk.
Don't feed too much alfalfa hay be-
fore the calf Is three months old.
Don't let calves suck each other
after drinking milk. They should be
placed in stanchions and fed grain.
Don't take calves go without water.

ALL ACTIVITIES
 TO BE RESUMED AT UNIVERSITY

New Haven, Dec. 11-DemObiliZa- ton of the Students Army Training Corps at Yale University on Dec. 21 will see immediate resumption of un- dergradu activities in athletics and fraternities. During the holidays team captains and managers who have been released from military or naval service will undertake readjust- ments in order that calls may issue for candidates to report for the sev- eraI branches of sport which may be followed in the winter months. All sports will be immediately organized except football.
 The fraternities will reopen their houses and make ready to elect mem- bers from the sophomore class late in January. The Sheffield Scientific School fraternities will have a new agreement in the choice of members. The senior societies will reopen their tombs.
 It is expected that more than 1,500 men in college will register early in January for athletic teams. The gen. eral athletic policy is expected to be formulated with little delay. The Yale Daily News, the Yale | Record and the Lit will resume pub lication and the Glee and Dramatic clubs will begin rehearsals coincident with the resumption of academic sources.

 Each person applying for registra- ton of car for public service pur~ poses will be assigned to an inspector for examination of equipment Of the car proposed to be registered, ant. until passed by the inspector, nc registration will be allowed. Nc charge will be made for first eX- animation, but for 8 second or sub sequent examination, when made necessary by defects, a fee of two dollars will be charged.

ON
 SHEA OBTAINING LIQUOR LICENSE
Was. signer of Remon- strance When J. E. Mor-
 rison Was Refused.

Speculation as to the status of the application for liquor license by J. A. Shea of Shea's Hotel in Main street is rife in the county court house, although the Commissioners are non-committal on the matter. They have not yet acted upon the ap- plication.
 One year ago J. E. Morrison ap- piled for a license in a building at Union Square and Main street, next door to Sheas, and a remonstrance was filed on the ground the place was unsuitable. Shea is alleged to have been one of the signers. Others were the Y. M.- c. A, banks, and other financial interests which claim ed the section is becoming a financial center and there should be no sa- looms there. The application for 1 license was withdrawn.
 After the Morrison case was disposed of a remonstrance was filed against the renewal Of the Shea license by the i Y. M. c. A. through Edward Sylvester Smith, president, and others. A hear 1 ing was given, the commissioner 1 granted a license, and an appeal was 1 filed with the Superior court which is still upon the docket. No actiol has been taken under the appeal. Pending it's decision Shea continued to enjoy the benefits of his license.
 Shea has renewed his application for a license this year. There has been no remonstrance filed as yet, but the commissioners have not taken action.
 One of the reasons assigned for failure to press the appeal to trial was an understanding that Shea was to abandon the liquor business before the new license year commenced. In view of the probable prohibiti>sa over the entire country by July 1, II is be- lieved there will be no further oppo- sition to the renewal of the license
 there. The original opposition was against the location and not against
 Shea.

Beatrice Fairfax Writes of the Problems the War Workers
Especially for Washington Women

One Saturday, which was do
nestle pay day, Martha bought her
hrst War Savings Certificate, and
1t seemed to work a miracle from
the first moment Of possession.
Instead Of the pang she used to
experience on regarding her pur-
chases the day after, this small
sticking plaster" brought no re-
morse. 1t represented all sorts
OF things to her, from salve to her
conscience down to the where
withal to be riotous again, should
the temptation to break loose
again prove too strong.
After a while these stamps began
to grow one at a time, because,
as she writes me, like a dope

once. ! would make up my mind
when l started down town not to
buy ice cream soda, candy or

next morning there they would be
confronting me, like so many OF
Blue Boards wives
Il believe / know just how a
man feels when he is struggling
not to take a drink, and finally
yields. for it was horribly hard
for me to pass by a certain ice
cream soda place at first. and an
other, where they sold maple
sugar candy with pecans, repre-
scented real martyrdom for me to
pull myself past the door"
Well, finally, accomplished
this bit OF stocism, was able to
walk past the ice cream tempta-
temptation. and go proudly in and
NY a few Thrift Stamps. And
after ! had done this, couple of
times, 1t wasn't hard at all, my
moral muscles seemed TO have
grown less fiabby. The family
insisted there was the making Of
a heroine in me after all. Now,
here is where the reward OF vir-
tue began to set in.
