BARBARIOUS PRINTERS
They Were All Too Willing to Aid the Noun" Reporter to Find
 Means of Exit,

One of New Britain's rising young Journalists who attends the High school and draws a weekly pay en- Velope from The Herald for writing the news emanating from that educa - tlonal foundry, is puzzled today be- cause of what he terms the antiquated methods in force at the office of the New Britain Daily Herald after s o'clock in the evening"
 Last night the young reporter worker late into the evening" putting down in black and white the material results of what is commonly termed an inspiration. Neatly folding his copy at the end of his labors he placed it on the editors desk and started to leave the office. The door was locked. He had no key. How to leave became a problem. He was innocent and knew not the ways of a newspaper office. So he took his troubles to the printers who were hard at work in the 'hack office" making ready for the next days work
 Now printers have kcenly deve1. oped senses of humor. The develop ment is due to putting in type the copy" handed in by youthful re- porters. Such chance as is pre- scented by this particular reporter could not be left untaken.
 They advised the young man to set ladder; that when the office was locked, exit by means of a lad der had been adopted as a custom by necessity. The printers furnished the ladder-they were all too anxious to help, and a little before midnight any pedestrian on Church street would have been greeted by the strange sight of a halted and coated young man descending to the walk by means of a ladder. The printers drew the ladder up--Which left the young man wondering how the last man left The Herald Office every night when there remained no one to draw up the ladder after him and store it away in the back room.'

The game was the most exciting played at the gynlnas- ium this season, requiring ten min utes of overtime before the victor was declared. At the end of the first half, the visitors were leading ' to 6. and when the second half ended. the score stood nine all. For the next five minutes the teams battled at top speed. but so good was the work of the guards on both teams that no score was made. An additional play ing period of five minutes was de clared. and in this time the New Britain girls reeainlng their basket eyes, rolled up sev>> points. The work of Miss Beveridge was a big factor in the victory for the locals, her ability to toss 'em in from the four line. counting for six points. Miss Bailman dropped two double counters in from the field. Miss Cahill was the chief point maker for the vanquished quintet
