AIM SHOULD BE PERFECTION
Man Who Is Satisfied With Nothing
but the Best Is Man Who Will
Make Good in Life.

Don't get into the "that's-good-
enough" habit. Nothing short Of "per-
feet" should be your motto.
SlOvenly habits of mind and hand
grow faster than good habits. A slip
shod manner Of thinking results in
slipshod methods Of work.
You will never become efficient in
any one thing till you get it firmly
fixed In your mind that If another can
do it better than you you are not do
ing well.
Thoroughness and accuracy play a
big part In the success or failure of
the individual.
You may be artistic and tempera-
mental and dreamy, but you will never
realize your dreams till you get down
to brass tacks and do what you do
with precision and dispatch.
There is plenty Of time to exercise
your artistic moods after you have
learned all there is to know of the
mechanical and fundamental prin-
ciples of the work or accomplishment
you think you were out to do.
Remember that Interpretation comes
last.
There must be weeks, months and
years of systematic and consistent
drill before one is capable Of exercis-
ing the faculty Of Interpretation.

Brand Whitlock in Everybody's for

time of 1t as the people themselves. At
Nivelle poor man had some carrier
pigeons and the Belgian's love for
them. But he had no food for them
and so was obliged to kill them. His
children cut off their heads and
ranged them along a window sill, and
underneath wrote: Died for their

KILL CROWS AND SAVE CROPS.
Campaign Against the Destructive
Marauder of the Air Inaugur-

Warden

State Game Warden E. Lee lie
Compile has inauguarted, in conjunc-
ton with national agencies, a cam
paign. for the killing of destructive
crows in Maryland.
To kill the crow it is first neces-
sary to get within gunshot distance.
To accomplish this very difficult feat
Mr.. LIE Compile suggests the USE of
decoys.
Stuffed owls placed on the con-
spicuous limb of dead tree serve
the desired purpose. A wounded
crow staked out in the open will also
large piece of meat or the carcass of
a dead animal placed in an opening
serves as excellent bait and one we'll
placed shot will often kill several
crows at once.
The e. I. dupont de Nemours
Company, Wilmington, DEL, are Of
fering desirable trophies to persons
killing crows in the United States.
The contest is open until December
/. The DUPONT Company encourages
and enlists the aid OF an army OF
shooters, and invites every owner Of
a gun to enter this contest.
The State Game and Fish Depart
ment urges farmers and sportsmen's
organizations throughout the state
to cooperate and make a combined
campaign against the crow hosts.
Deputy game wardens are also in
structed to assist in reducing the
ranks of this enemy of the game.
They have been allowed to increase
to such an alarming extent that they
are decided menace to agricultural
and sporting interests. The destruc-
ton within the year next of thous-
ands of crows will mean the increase
of hundreds of thousands o. song
and game birds.
national crow shoot has been
inauguarted in the United States this
year and the campaign material is
every year insects cause a loss of
millions of dollars to the farmer,
truck raisers and fruit growers. The
farmers are the producers and what
ever loss they sustain affects every
consumer in the country. Song
birds are the natural enemies of all
insect life, song birds alone can keep
in check the ravages of insects.
Crows destroy birds, birds destroy
insects, insects destroy crops-there-
fore, kill the crows and save the
crops
April, May and June are the proper
months of the year to make an or
ganized attempt to eradicate the
repaired or built anew the latter
part of March and four to seven eggs
are laid early in April. The period
of incubation covers from Z to 18
days and the young remain in the
nest about three weeks after hatch
ing. Sportsmen and famers should
cooperate at this time and destroy
as many crows nests and shoot as
many parent birds as possible.
Being scavengers, crows carry the
germs of the dreaded hoof and
mouth disease, hog cholera, gland
ers, etc., which are lurking in count
less numbers in every decaying bit
of carrion. Farmers look on the
visits of the crow to their farm yards
with dread and apprehension. Crows
undoubtedly destroy large amount
of song and game birds before they
are through nesting, and also destroy
their eggs and young.

Claim Decision of Iran, Jr., Coach Who Was Referee Forced This Action-Long Runs By H. Schwartz
 Features Battle at Seaside Park

Outplaying the heavy Iran Jrs., the Hebrew Boys club held them to 1913 tie at Seaside park Sunday afternoon.
 The Hebrew Boys showed pure grit and gameness as they were easily outweighed ten pounds to a man.
 They got many raw deals but kept on playing until with but ten minutes to play the Trans with the ball on the Hebrew Boys five yard line fumbled the ball, and Louise Schwartz of the Hebrew Boys recovered the ball, but the referee thought otherwise, So the Hebrew Boys walked off the field
 Although the Hebrew Boys were not aware of it, the referee happened to be the coach of the Trans. thus showing what sportsmen they are.
 For benefit of teams wishing to book games with the Iran Jrs. we wish to say they are very poor sports men, and though the Iran Jrs. go under the 25-30, pound class they really are 40-50 pound team. Now, to return to the game.

High School Team
 Ready For Everett
Coach Hunt Pointing Play CTS This Week for Big
 Contest

Bridgeport High school football players started today to prepare themselves for the game against Everett High at Newfie1d park Satur- day ard Coach Hunt is making an eff fort to get Westerly High here for Wednesday. This game, he believes, will. point. the local Red and Black players for their big game on Satur- day afternoon. Last year Everett High came to this city and defeated the High school team and the boys are anxious to repay that debt in this city next Saturday.
 All season the wearerS of the Red and Black have been perfecting themselves for this battle and the contest should be corker. Even the game on Wednesday afternoon, if it is arranged, should be a good one as the boys will be in great shape.
 On Saturday afternoon at Newfield park the East Greenwich High was defeated and showed that Bridgeport has improved in great shape. Whelan made two runs, one for 70 yards and the other for 40 yards for touch downs. Berkwit played a strong
 game, opening up big holes which as- sisted greatly in making touchdowns and the Rhode Islanders went home with a 35 to defeat pinned on them.
 For the games this week it is ex- pected that. Paige will be back in the ilineup after an absence of two weeks because of injuries. The whole team, it is expected, will be ready tc show it's top notch speed.

SHIFTS NIGHTS
 FOR POLO GAMES
 AT THE CASINO

Starting next week, roller polo games will be played on Monday and Friday nights insteadyof Tuesday and Saturday as has been the custom since the season started. This change ha been made that a larger number of people may be able to attend the contests. and of course bring in .1arg- CT revenue, which Manager Neville says is-now making. him do a lot of figuring to keep up.
 On Saturday night the Bridgeport club won a hard fought game from New Bedford: the league leaders, and it was necessary for two extra over time periods to- pe played. In the first overtime of l 5 minutes neither side could get a goal, but in the sec ond overtime Captain Quigley caged the ball, which gave Bridgeport a victory and made. the fifth overtime e game On. the home floor that Bridge port has won.
 Tomorrow night the attraction at the Casino will be Fall River, which team has Fred Jean, one of the best players in the game, and Steve Pierce, a fast forward. With them comes Blount, a tough man to get the ball behind in the cage. The game should he a corker and we'll worth attending.
 Last week Manager Neville went to Worcester and got married.

The management of the Clay Hills football team of Hartford, beaten by the Chains, 21 to 13, yesterday after noon at Newfie1d park, threatens to sttach the gate receipts of the Chain team in the next game unless they are paid $150 in the meantime. The Hartford eleven, players declare. came to this city to play the Chain gang for guarantee of S350, but af- te rthe game the Chain management reduced the guarantee to $200.
 A big argument followed between the two teams and there was some strenuous arguing, but it was to no avail for the Clay Hills were forced to leave town with only $2O0 when the local team agreed to, pay $350. Now the Clay Hills intend to attach the gate receipts on Thanksgiving Day or next Sunday. q
 This is the second time the Chains have had trouble over a guarantee. Last week the Chain managem ent wainted to stall off the All-Collegiates until Monday, but the New Workers refused to go on the field until the cash was provided. This same kind

 Lakes For Title
Games to Be Played Thanks giving and Next Sun
 day Afternoon

Certified checks binding the Chain and Lake football teams to play two games for the professional champion ship of the city are expected to be posted tonight. According to an. a green ent signed the games will be played on Thanksgiving Day morning at 1O:45 o'clock, while the second con- test will be played on next Sunday afternoon at '23O o'clock.
 E Arrangements for the games was Bixler and Merrill for the Lakes and Hunt and Briggs for the Chains When the forfeit is posted tonight a. list of players Twill also be submit ted and only those will take part in the games.
 The Chain team is operated entire 1y by thme football players and the American Chain Athletic association has nothing to do with the team this year. The players are running the game entirely and they will split tlan profits at the clase of the season.. This is probably the reason for so much pickering this season because the players see the financial side more than the playing side.
 Eddie Hart of Waterbury, A. D. Mehegan of Purdue and. pr. Lam berton of Trinity were the three of fcia1s agreed on and an invitation will be extended them immediately to of ficiate.
 Both teams plan to put in a few days of strenuous practice to put the players on edge for the big con- tests.

New Haven Nov. 22-Over 5000 enthusiastic football fans prayed the chill winds yesterday afternoon at Weiss Park and saw the Williams de- feat the Lake Torpedo eleven of Bridgeport by 21 to score. The extreme cold took the ardor and pep out of the crowd but even at that there was plenty of action. While the score would indicate a one sided affair it was a hard fought game from the start and the local cham pions were obliged to extend them selves throughout
 The Lakes, by their aggressive playing managed to register four first down against the Williams. which records show as the greatest against the Williams eleven this season.
 The teams adhered to the rushing ward passes trid by tn Williams, one of which was effective and ended in the first score for the locals.
 The Williams got the first score in the first period after Forst had suc- cessfully carried the ball through Lakes showed signs of strengthening on the five yard line, Hanlon heav- ed a low forward pass to Quinn who fell over the goal line with the ball.
 The Lakes put up strong defen- sive game for the remainder of the first half, accepting all chances pass ed up by the locals, where fumbllng predominated.
 In the third period the Williams, by terrific drives through the line, worked the ball to the 25 yard line.

BLUE RIBBONS STOP
 CRESCENT QUINTET

By defeating the Crescents Of Brooklyn last night at Colonial hall, Leavey's Blue Ribbons won their third straight game and about 500 were present at the scrimmaSe. The score of the game was 3S to g and clearly showed the Ribbons to be the masters of their opponents.
 z The visitors were outplayed and outclassed after the first few minutes of play and during the remainder of the game were unable to check the locals in piling up the score. Superior floor work and passing especially by Friedman, White and Sedran enabled the Ribbons to obtain a commanding lead which their opponents were un- able to overcome.
 Friedman scored the largest num- Der of points for the locals, having II to his credit. Leonard had II points and Sedran 8. Three baskets thrown from the center of the court by Ashmead, Leonard and Sedran featured the contest. Ashmead and Stewart played well for the Crescents and broke up several fine plays ma nipulated by Sedran and White.
