GOT STUCK IN CHIMNEY
 DOING SANTA CLAUS STUNT

An episode in Days of Real Sport" made famous by Briggs was enacted on Monday by several boys in the vicinity of the sandbank on Mckinley; avenue near the armory. Contractors have been dig ging and screening the sand from the bank and in the course of their work had used a large fiat-top furnace to dry the sand so that it could be screened more easily. The boys were using this furnace as a playhouse and the chimney for a Santa Claus stunt. The boys would climb the chimney and go down it into the fur mace as they understood Santa Claus docs when he makes his Christmas visits.
 One youngster, little larger than the rest, took his turn at being Santa Claus He climbed up, put both feet into the chimney and started down in the most approved Kris Krinkle style. Alas, either the chimney was too small or the boy toe large for when only his arms. shoulders and head remained in view, he stuck fast He could neither go up nor down. With his arms waving wildly in the air, hI shouted to his playmates to Take ma coat off, take me coat off" His. .compan. ions, unsympathetic stood about in glee Threats took the place of appeals, but tc no avail, and the youthful Santa Claus remained in the chimney until some pass. erby went to his rescue.

College President Before Brotherhood

Benjamin T. Marshall. president of Connecticut College, at New London, Ge- hvered an intensely interesting address on The Spirit of America, at the tegu- lar monthly, meeting of. the Brotherhood of the United Congregational church at the Community House on Church street, Monday evening.

Mayho~-r. N
 Hnote that another quality of Ameri- can life and spirit is will power and in- dustry. The will to win, the will to ac- complish. the will to arrive is the very fabric of our American life.
 As to the youth of today, so many of whom seem disposed to follow the power of least resistance. I am always amazed when go to large city and see so many with nothing to do. Co to any hotel at 11.40 and the lounges are filled with lizards" I think the will to work and the necessity ion industry cannot he too wisely made clear to the young men of today
 Speaking of the spirit of cooperation Dr. Marshall said: The Mayhower conn pact was partly aetuated by the spirit Of cooperation. After a process ot years came constitution which made the l thirteen original states a nation. Then came cooperation. There was A noble disposition to work together. In these days when we recognize the value of working together we are seeing a dem- onstration of something that has been true since the beginning
 A very beautiful characteristic of America Is the spirit of understanding and passion for justice. America i. composed of many races and typas of | people. We are bound to live together to work together and build the nation to. gether,f and we must understand each other. The quality of understanding and justice has demonstrated itself again ! and again in the lives of the American people. It is a matter. of pain to us that 15.000,000 Chinese must die this winte, despite all we can do.
 Dr. Marshall then went on 10 tell oi 1 the splendid response to a call for re lief made at Connecticut College las month when the faculty and student, contributed 31,3o0. the students contri buttons coming from their Christmas al lowances and pin money, for the suffer ing professors and students of colleges in Central Europe Not student askeC a penny from home for the contribu tons. That is an example of the spiri Of America. said Dr. Marshall.
