|. o. FIELDING WINS HoNoRs FOR TEAM ON U.. S. S. NEW YORK

Mexico team. 21 to 6. the r. s. s. New York eleven won the football cham p:onsfip of the Pacific fleet recently.
 To the halfbacks. Roberts and Fielding, of the winners, goes the lions share of the glory. Each man made a. touchdown by straight line plunging, but 1t was a wonderful 4O- yard run by Fielding after receiving forward pass from Roberts. just as the whistle blew for the end of the game. that accounted for the final score. Fielding shook of at least four tack lers on that last dash. In fact one of the newspapers of that locality de- c1ares he fairly leaked tacklers as he bounced along the field.
 Fielding's scintillating run in the fourth quarter, marked by exceptional use of the straight arm, furnished the final touchdown. '
 The Fighting Top, the paper pub- tells in Its football notes of an earlier erame. when the Wyoming playing the New York, came out with tie, 6-6. The Wyoming score came early in the second quarter, The Fighting Ton says, when EFielding carried the bah over the goal line from the 10-yard line on lone break through the line. Fielding is mentioned as one of the star performers for the wyoming.
 Fielding (Lemuel Osgood) is the son of Mir and Mrs. Lemuel NJ. Fielding of Baltic street Norwich. Because, he is a descendant of the Mohegan- tribe of Indians he is generally known as "Big Chief among his mates of the war fleet. He has helped win baseball. games also for his ship, as well as showing skill and speed in rowing races etc.

WHAT WILL THE CENSUS
 MAKE NORWICH POPULATIoNi

What is to be the population of Nor wich shown by the. 1920. census which begins on Friday, January 2, 1920?
 The last time Uncle Sam looked around him and took an official count of his growing family he found that the town of Norwich sheltered 28, 219 of his children. That was ten years ago. How many more have been added to the count in the last ten years?
 Speculations and estimates as to the probable census showing run from an optimistic 10000 to the pessimistic prediction of scarcely any gain. Is there any line of comparison with past years that will offer basis for fig uring the probability of the Norwich census figures?
 More houses built to live in mean more people to live in them. As hous- es in town increase the population should show a growth. How does this work out for Norwich?
 Back in 1864, according to the grand Hist of the town of Norwich there were 1,727 dwelling houses, but there are nc figures available to show what the population that year was, although the census figures for 1880 give. it as 14,o4S. Not till we come to the cen sus of 1880. when the population count showed 21.143. is 1t ~nsslble 10 line fl up alongside the number of houses in the grand list to discover any posst- ble relation That year there were 2,S46 dwelling houses.
 With these two for starting point 2,84e houses and 21,143 people. the statistics carry along to the census ot 1890 when there were 3.1s3 dwellings and 23,048 population. On a gain oi 347 houses there was population gair

of 1905. On such q showing each new dwelling indicated a gain of six people in population.
 But this apparent relation is badly shattered by the experience of the next ten. years. In 1900 the population had grown to 24.637, gain of 1,5s9. and the number of dwellings to S,760, gain of 567., Each new residence in that period apparently added less than three persons to the population.
 The next ten year period was the best gainer in population for the town grew by 3,582 people from 1900 to 1910 but the dwellings did not increase as fast as they had in the. preceding decade. There were 468 new resi- dences, according to the grand list, in- dicating from 2 to 8 people added in population for each new house. The 1910 census gave Norwich popula- 1t 4,22Sl dwellings which is a little less than seven people to house.. E.,
 Tn the grand list of 1918, the last one which has been completed, the. town of Norwich was shown to have 4,429 houses. Since then probably twenty more may have been added, making T probable showing, of 4.500 dwellings on the next grand list. If the average of 2 in population to a dwelling Is maintained Norwich should have a population of 31.13e.
 But there is another consideration to be taken into account. which might bes counted on to raise the average. This $ the increase in recent years of dwelling houses. containing more than one family and consequently housing more people under. one roof than a single family house If the average per house were raised to 1-2 people, it would give population of 3S.375; if 1t were 8 persons, 1t would give.

 Asked if he intended to retire to private life, President Poincare said:
 Certainly not, for do not think I have arrived at the point of inactiv- ity. I will resume my place as a pri- vate citizen, but I will keep up my public interests and my opinions. The constitution has in no sense foFe- seen that an ex-president should be condemned to obscurity or should merely preside at meetings of charit- able institutions.

 Asked what he would do pending an election to the senate or elsewhere, the president said: T may write for the reviews or for the newspapers l must earn my living, for the Elysee Palace is not calculated to make one rich. At least have never considered It so. With the tax upon the income which applies to the compensation of the president, and with the new cost of living, I doubt whether my sue cessor will be able to do much better than myself"
