Connecticut Co.
 Buses Failure

Reports emanating from Hartford indicate that the Connecticut Com pany Is making a failure of some of the attempts to operating jitneys, even though competition has been removed Maintaining that 1t costs them SEQ n day to operate @ bus, the claim IS made that unless capacity loads are carried on every trip expenses cannot be made on a five cent fare,
 Claim is made that at previous hearings some jitneymen admitted the game a losing proposition, but this statement will not find many supporters in Bridgeporters where II was shown by legal battles and vart- ous plans, including the well known "ciub plan," that the men made enough money to put up a desperate fight before they gave up their busi- ness to the trolley company,
 In Stamford where some buses are used it is said the company is losing money, the loss over the entire state being estimated between S100 and S15O a day, according to W. J. Flick ing, assistant to President Storrs, He maintains that buses are more expen- sive oi operation than trolleys.
 The fact that large increases in revenue have not been noticed with he jitneys eliminate and a 10 cen! Sare enforced, is because of the la ck If necessary riders that are not using any form of transportation reg u1ar1y now because of the industria depression. almost statewide.

Mrs. Penny States
 Case

Mrs. Charles M. Penny, former president of the Sixth District Wom- ans Republican club, feels that the 4Ge e1netion MSTop hS Wssag are wrong in assuming that they are the regular club, because they occupy the club house which was in use when all the members lived harmoniously together, Mrs. Penny says:
 '"The contention of the leaders of the revo1ting women members that they are the official body because of the fact that they meet in the club rooms which per force of necessity became the regular meeting place. Is to my mind ridiculous especially when you consider that those club rooms are located in the Eighth dis trtct. Many of the members are very much opposed to meeting in the. rooms of a factional body and had they been able to secure neutral meeting place at a rental within the financial resources of the club steps would have been taken to secure such a meeting place As a matter of fact many women of the district refused absolutely to join the club because meetings were held at the North Main street rooms
 s'To get back to the status of the respective divisions, Mrs. Fleck has been, and, I am glad to stay, still is the recognized head of the women's Republican organization in the city. MrS. RSCK IS the u1SlT1CI iSdoCiS oL the Sixth, therefore when a body of women supposed to be members of a woman's organization refuse to work with their district leader when she has the best interests of the club at heart calls a meeting on neutral grounds hoping thereby to preserve harmony the ranks, the natural in- ference is that they are opposed to the organization and wish to set up an organization of their own.
 My resignation came as the ma tura1 result of too many irons in the fire, first there was my home, second, music, third, business, and fourth politics. When I accepted the office of president, I had only my home and music to attend to and supposed it would be a comparatively easy matter for me to preside at the monthly meetings. Early in the summer, how ever, things developed which neces- sitated my dropping music and to be- come more familiar with parliament tary procedure and politics. I finally got to the point where politics threat ened to become my whole existence, to the exclusion of everything else and I was convinced that 1t was go- ing to be necessary for me to drop what seemed the least important of my affars.
 ITO say that the leader or anyone else in political cicrles had anything to do with my resignation Is utterly absurd I have before me a letter from the women of the Sixth asking that reconsider and if 1t were not for the fact that 1t is @ physical inn possibility I would do so."

Officials: Referee, G. w. Cromwell Swarthmore; umpire, L.O. Kerberger, Washington and Jefferson; head lines man, Edward Thorpe, LaSalle; field judge, V. A. Schwartz, Brown.
 The out of town crowd for the game began to arrive by mid-fore- noon and looking to a sharp nip in the air most of the women carried furs. The army banner of black, yellow and gray, was often seen. Automobiles streamed in for hours and were diverted to the vicinity of the bowl. The occupants later made their way downtown for lunch or to see the cadets march from the rail- road station to Yale Commons.
 The Yale ticket management put on sale at o'clock a large block of tickets which had been held In re- serve and these were quickly taken up bfore noon. and 1t was believed that every ticket issued had been captured.
 As so many thousands of the spec tators were city residents the inflow by train did not make so noticeable a stream of traffic through the streets when Harvard or Princeton plays here On the other hand every one who could, was on Church and Chapel streets to see the cadet regiment. Probably there are few persons here who have ever seen the cadets on pa rade at West Point and the sight of them in line of march was regarded as a novelty well worth witnessing.

New Haven, Conn.,, Oct. 22.- The Army came from the banks of the Hudson to the play ground of the Yale Bulldog to- day for a football battle, re- suming relations in that sport after a lapse of eight years. When the Army came into the city 1 400 strong it was the first time the West Pointers had ev- CT invaded college stronghold in force or in a football attack, and the occasion stood out both as a spectacle and game.
 The settings of the bowl, in which at least 75,O00 persons were herded, are: For attendance here, much like home except that in contrast to the massing of waves of blue banners there was on the east side a great block cadet gray. The whole color scheme, which had dashes of Harvard crimson, and Princeton orange and black, was literally splashed with soft gray of detached groups of loyal root. CTS for the Army lads.
 Several hundred officers of the Army from posts and forts in the eastern section of the country were a part of the great throng. General McArthur, commandant at West Point, was the guest Of President James Rowland Ange1l of the Untver- sity, and Mrs. Angell. sitting with them fin the Yale section. But the Army support included Secretary of War Weeks, Major General Edward of the First Corps Area and members of his staff while COlOnelS, majors and captains flanked the high officers. On the Yale sides were It. Gov. Tenn pleton, U. S. Senator J. w. Wads- worth, Jr., of New York, and a clus- ter of figures well known in political and college life.

Freight Rates
 Cut
Interstate Com m e c e Commission Ord CTS Reduction, on Wheat and Hay T h rou g h West.

Washington, Oct. 22-Freight rates on wheat and hay throughout the middle west were ordered reduced by the in terstate commerce commission to-day, the reduction amounting to one-half of the increase giv- en the railroads in 1920.
 The commission also found the present rates on coase grain, incIud- ing oats, rye. corn and millet, to. be unjust and unreasonable, and ordered them to be fixed generally at 10 per cent. less than the tariff prescribe ed for wheat.
 Rates on commodities recognized d as products of the named grains, in- cluding flour, feed, finished or semi- finished manufactures. the commits Son held, would be unjust and unreal sonable unless reduced to a relation ship corresponding to the rates on the raw materials.
 The decreases. though chiefly af- fecting producing territory in the West, the commission stated, would make rate reductions in certain DOT ttons of the Eastern territory neces- sary.
 The railroads were directed to make the reductions ''as soon as practicable and not later than Nov. 20, 1921"
