After a light lunch of ham and eggs, wild sweet potatoes and caulihower a la lizzie Winters at Mory's, Bevo Bald ridge, one of Yale's greatest athletes, usually looks at the window display of The Connecticut Labor Press on his way to the classroom in the afternoon. He probably reasons that the fine typo graphical display will assist in digesting fingered longer than ordinary for he thought he spied the picture of a gigan- tic Harvard athlete, towering Gul1iver with Gargantuan muscles. But it was not an athlete but brawny blacksmith, perhaps the original, Honest Black smith," who typifes the strength of labor on the cover of the year book of the Connecticut Federation of Labor. The reflection from the forge gives his aproIl a crimson glow and this was why this Hercules of the smithy was mis- taken for Harvard foutballer.
 George, the greatest of all window dreSserS, IS making a very effective dis play of the job work turned out by The Connecticut Labor Press and the fact that Bevo Baldridge as well as many other Yale athletes and scholars devote a certain amount of time each day in adniriny the various kinds ot printing in the window speaks well for, their artistic training. It is not too much to say that the present window display of The Connecticut Labor Press is one of the show places of Broadway. Not cnly are the choicest specimens on view but behind the plate glass windows can be seen the wtlirling presses the lino- type machine for setting type, the big paper cutter that cuts through several inches of paper as if it was so much cheese, and other appliances that Gut tenberg never dreamed of.
