Dear Mrs. Thompson: Just because
! am a girl, is that any reason why
| cannot or should not learn TO play
football? Would it be unladylike TO
do so? am an athletic girl of fifteen
and prefer outdoor sports to indoor
stunts like the piano, sewing, inside
games, etc.
get my lessons exceptionally well
and like to read very much, but | don't
like the teachers because they like me
too much | want to do. something
besides exercise my brain and so l
like outdoor sports.
Do you think a mother ought to
scold if her fifteen-year-old daughter
stays up until $50 10 read Shake
speares plays On the other hand,
don't you think that 8 or $50 is early
enough? MISS ALETA.
Football is a very rough game and
is not therefore suited to girls. Some
girls are physically strong enough for
it, but no girl should play the game
without a medical examination first.
do not think It would be unladylike
for a girl to play the game with other
girls, but it is too rough to play with
bows. | would advise you to take a
course of gymnasium work where you
can use up some of your excess
energy.
am afraid you overestimate the
quality of your school work. Your
letter was poorly written for girl OF
your age. Several words were mis-
spelled, for instance, you said ''ath-
eletic" and exceptionally" Besides
YOU wrote on a dirty and torn piece of
paper and used lead pencil. Clean
paper and pen and ink should be used
in spondence.
At your age you should retire early
1t is quite right that your parents set
the hour because they can judge what
is good for you by the hour you rise
in the morning. your activities during
the day and your endurance.

A Sure Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
YOU destroy it entirely. To do this,
lust get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need, apply
it at night when retiring; use enough
to moisten the scalp and rub 1t in
gently with the finger tips.
BY morning, most if not all, OF your
dandruff will be gone, and three or
four more applications will completely
dissolve and entirely destroy every
single sign and trace of it, no matter
how much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous,
glossy, silky and soft, and look and
feel a hundred times better.-Adver-
tisement.

BARRIERS Sign Up All
But 2 Local Shops
DeFranco and D'Orso Refuse to
Agree to Proposed Wage Cut
and Men Are Called Out.

Only two of the barber shops in
New Haven which have heretofore
been working in agreement with the
BARRIERS union continue to hold out
against the proposed new agreement
for five per cent. reduction in pay
and their men have been called out,
according to reports made to the
Trades Council last night by Business
Agent Baehr. These shops are those
run by Joseph DeFranco at 75e
Chapel street and Vito D'Orso at IFS
Court street and the union cards were
removed from them on Wednesday
when they persisted in their refusal.
At the start of the controversy all
but IS shops in the city agreed to the
wage reduction proposed by the jour
neymen 1t was agreed with these
that the matter be left to an interna-
tional officer and Anthony Merlino
former business agent here, was sent
on to adjust matters. With Mr.
Beahr he canvassed the employers
early in the week and II promptly
came to the agreement DeFranco
and D'Orso, however, held out and
the men were called from their shops.

About score of representatives

agreements on wages some time ago
and there will not be any controversy,
unless some manufacturers attempt to
go ahead with further wage cuts in

Lake Vetoes School
Fund Appropriation

Governor Lake in vetoeing yester-
day school appropriations totalling
$2,657,724, recommended that educa-
tional appropriations be made in &C
cordance with "a system based upon
our method of state tax" in order to
'avoid the uncertainties of biennial
legislative grants" and to avoid de-
ihclencies that arise every two years. "
The measures vetoed include the
1o1o-2I and Io2I-23 average attend
ance grants and the increase in the
support of schools grant.
The 1919 average attendance grant
was disapproved on the ground that
the 1910 act was imperative because
it provided no appropriation. In the
opinion of the governor the state is
not morally obligated. An appropria-
ton of $I,I45,724 to cover the back
payment was embodied in the bill
which the governor vetoed The
other average attendance grant for
the fiscal period ending June 80, 1923,
the governor vetoed on the ground a
state tax on the grand list of the state
should have been provided to pay the

6. @. P. SCHEME TO SECURE CONTROL,
OF ALDERMEN HITS RENDINC SNAC
Proponents of Gerrymander For
got to Have Old Laws Rescind-
ed and Consequently Aldermen
May Upset Their Pet Plans.

The attempt of Colonel Ullman and
other republican interests to split up
the city wards so that they could get
and retain control of the board of
aldermen despite who happened to be
elected mayor, is apparently due for
big bump for according to a special
message sent to the aldermen last
night by Mayor FitzGerald, the pro-
ponents of the plan forgot to have
rescinded the law providing for six
aldermen at large and overlooked
other details that would tend to have
"a board consisting Of 80 instead of 2I
as at present, which board, he de-
clared, would be entirely too large
and unnecessary. He suggested a
charter amendment under the Home
Rule act, by which one alderman
would be elected to represent several
wards made up of districts about as
at present. This would keep the board
to its present number. 1t was re-
| ferred to a committee for public
| hearing and will have to be voted on
at the next election.
Under the 80 ward scheme which
| Was IuSllcu tlll OuSll TIC ICSlSldlu VI ( d.
was the proposed city manager char
ter, the present existing wards were
cut up SO that 33 instead Of IS were
provided. In the gerrymander the
wards were so split up that it would
at all times practically ensure a good
| working majority in the board for the
republicans, unless some unlocked for
upheaval occurred that would sweep
the CITY for the democrats. There
fore it would make no difference
whether Mayor FitzGerald or any
other democrat is elected as mayor
with the board in the control of his
opponents, his hands could be tieC
and the administration embarrassed.
But the mayor is somewhat of {
political general himself and when the
bill came down from Hartford he dis
covered the omissions in it and acteC
promptly. There was a general feel
ing about the city that there is nc
need of 80 aldermen and acting or
this feetling the mayor sought way
to avoid it. In his message to The
aldermen last night he waxed caustiC
in the methods used in putting the bill
over on the public saying the city hao

not been informed as provided Of tht

LABORERS' STRIKE
in HARTFORD TIES
UP ALL BUILDING
Mason Tenders Resent Cut of Nearly
20 Per Cent. and Win Out
in Week.

Hartford building trades were prac-
tically at standstill for several days
this week, following a strike of build
ing laborers last Friday to resist a
wage cut of about 20 per cent. while
other building tradesmen were cut
only 10 per cent. as they had volun-
teered to the bosses. The strikers
were supported by the bricklayers
who are dependent on them for ma
terial and attendance and after it had
gone on until Wednesday a confer
ence was arranged and the contract
ors agreed to provide 10 per cent.
cut to the laborers pending settlement
Of the entire controversy by arbitra-
ton later, The laborers will there
fore be cut from 80 to u cents an
ture decision is reached. Building
was at once resumed and no further
interruption is expected.
1--WE made a voluntary reduction OF
10 per cent. and we did not believe
that it is just to ask us to take a
greater reduction at this time," Frank
Gervasion, business agent of the
union, said "It must be remembered
| that only five per cent. Of our mem
bers work II months in the year and
owing to the time lost through bad
weather and the intervals between
jobs, large percentage do not aver
| age more than six months of solid
work each year"
The mason tenders say that it is
unjust to class them as unskilled
labor, as it requires long period
for man to become really proficient
ANY one can wheel bricks in {
wheelbarrow," Mr. Gervasio said
that is admitted, but the work O

are engaged in work on new apart
ment houses and small store build
ings.

organization will continue to give it:

MAYORS ACTION CLOSING MARKET
MEETS WITH HEARTY APPROVAL
Produce Exchange" Instead of
Being a Public Benefit, Had
Become Wholesale Mart for
Mulcting Householders to Pro
fit of Middlemen.

Under orders of Mayor David E.
FitzGerald the alleged New Haven
Public Market" along the new rail
road station approach will be closed
tomorrow and be shifted elsewhere
and to many the mayors action meets
with hearty approval. The market,
instead of being a retail public market
as intended, has deteriorated into
nothing more nor less than "Pro-
duce Exchange" and a householder
had as much chance of buying head
of cabbage or a peck of potatoes
there as a burglar would have in po-
lice headquarters. Meantime farmers
wagons, peddlars carts and middle
mems trucks blocked traffic in the
early morning hours and when they
went away at the time limit left be-
hind them a mess that required many
city employees hours to clean up.
The market when originally estab-
was in all purposes a retail mart
when the farmers brought their pro-
duce and disposed of it either direct
to the consumer or to peddlers who
took the vegetables about the city and
sold them at only one additional pro-
fit The middlcmen or produce brok-
ers soon broke in, however, and the
farmer with a customer ready and
anxious to take his entire load off his
hands sold to the broker who in turn
sold ITO the various Storekeepers and
peddlers and took a profit in between
and it was soaked onto the ultimate
consumer.
That wasn't even so bad as a house
holder could then go to the market
and buy in quantities he desired even
if he did have to buy from the ped
dler but that is almost impossible
now Instead of the farmers con-
trolling the supply, carloads of mar
ket produce are dumped into the mar
ket from the south and west, the
brokers refuse 10 break them or sell
them in less than barrel or crate lots.
The result has been that the market
has become wholesale exchange
rather than the public benefit that the
city intended.
Many complaints have poured in
upon the mayor and finally led to his
action in closing the market tomor-
row. OF course the produce brokers
and some of the farmers are kicking.
They have no one to blame but them
selves, however, and receive little
sympathy as even the most gullible
cannot see why nor where the city
should provide its streets to allow
business to go on and interfere with
traffic when the general public not
only gets no benefit but is actually
soaked in the bargain,
