Attn maids who watched them die vaHantly l or win heroically on the football bat flefield. and the fans, or at least those who are social football fans, will l watch with interest the parlor game.
 
 One sport is chron;c1ed in our midst on the journals of his friends | winner of we'll chosen football bets, and after his earnings from several victims last Saturday as the result of l the Navy and Holy Cross victories is prey. to his better judgment, to l luncheon at the leading hotel. That's i sportsmanship. A local judge reprimanded a cer- 1 tain club recently for having gam blers in it's midst. He ought to close 1 up one club, that is sure to open when the indoor sports, get under way, and l worse than the Ku Klux, for it is so easy to join, and its obligation so easy 1 to fulfil. Some newspapers even have 1 been known as likely members. but | it's a terrible organization to belong | to.

A cor l tain code of ethics should prevail a1- | ways whereby the knocking club | would be run out of business for lack l of material.

It is really a, shame when of his critics through. the press. not in a fair way, for none resents fairness, but in the most malicious undermin- ing contempt Maliciogsness yelled fanny.
 The poor Army mule must have been cold Saturday night, for the mid dies always take his blanket for souvenir if they win, and the proud goat of the Navy was warmly wrap ped with the mascot of the future generals.
 Many Americans. it is generally be- neved are complying with the great amendment, and 1t is also said that the Republics guests, at the Arms conference are trying to do likewise. I wonder if the foreigners came to our shores with the same feeling that many Americans go abroad nowa- days?
 The Crows have no LL.D. to give Foch so they made him 8 full f1edged warrior, General Custer made his last stand the Red men gave to the latest and greatest general a. tribute fitting @ hero, which to them means more than all the college degrees. B. '. Heck, secretary. forwards the following from The New3own Bee:
 At regular meeting of the Grand Cn n npSs 1T imousIy voted to go on record as fa- vortng daylight saving time. Appre- ciatVng the great saving mode by showing the clock ahead one hour f. was also voted to shove said clock ahead a thousand years-and save 8,76e, 900 times as much"

  Strains of the sweetest melodies that brought fame to Dixie were sung by the Fisk Jubilee Singers here re- gently, when Bridgeport was treated to real old genuine "darl1y'' harmony. The full throated warblers had varied program of plantation ditties, weird chants that nevertheless seems were musical, and charming folk songs that are immortaliing the home life of the negro.
 At the American Legion dinner to Marshal F'och, held in Washington, while he was there in connection with ceremonies for Americas Unknown Hero, there were many speeches, all of them on the same subject of the World War.
 Does it ever bore you to hear this constant talk of the war;" asked Franklin D'O1ier, Past Commander of the American Legion and now vice chairman of the Legion's reception committee
 ''my comrades never bore me. What ever a soldier has to say on any sub ject in the world always has interest for me for after all that is the basis of comradeship'
