ELM CITY KEPT DRY
 BY SQUAD OF VETS
25 SupernulneralieS Raid Saloons
 as Policemen

New Haven, Jan. 26.-New Haven is in the mist Of the most drastic drive against liquor since prohibition. Ef- forts Of supernumcrary policemen have made it almost impossible for a stranger 10 get n drink. IL also is becoming increasingly difficult for even old customers to purchase their daily tipple.
 Philip T. smith, chief of police, who is directing the drive, announced that there would be no let up Twenty-Five substitute police were chosen for the work because they were as rule, unknown to saloonkcepers and bar tenders The chief said;
 This squad will be kept on duty right along. It is doing thorough job, and every place where we sus- pect that liquor is being sold is be- ing visited and inspected"
 All the members of the squad are former service men who are highly interested, the chief said. because they like the excitement in raiding sa- looms. The squad has made hundreds of visits to saloons in the last four weeks. Thousands of dollars in fines l have been assessed. The only jail sentences so far have been suspended by the court
 | The activity of the police depart ment and federal agents is being re- flected in a greater amount Of home brewing, say police officials. The po- lice estimate that there arc at least a thousand stills in New Haven, all running for the benefit of their own CTS thirst. Regarding these Chief Smith said: There will always be a certain amount of home brewing go- ing on. We are after.t the profession als-the boys who brew their stuff and distil it for profit"

GOLOSHES REPLACE RINGS Northwestern Co-Eds Adopt Novel Method of Announcing Engagements

Chicago, Jan. Engagement rings being taboo at Northwestern University, those co-eds who have plighted their troth will make their status known through the manner in which they wear their goloshes. Goloshes open or buckled will tell the story hitherto conveyed by the dia- mond ring.
 It all came about by one young fiance pleading with his girl to please cover up her shapely ankles from public view Open goloshes now signify that the wearer is foot loose and fancy free but woe betide the young, man who attempts to ap- proach a girl who wears goloshes buckled. 1t is the unwritten law of the campus at Northwestern that men students never pirate" another fel- lows sweetheart.

BRISTOL PRINCIPAL
 EXPLAINS HIS SIDE
Defends Referee in Game With
 New Britain High School
Editor of the New Britain Herald:

Editor of the New Britain Herald
 My attention has been called to a recent article in the Herald about the basketball game between the teams of tho New Britain and Bristol High schools on January 1s.
 In this article some very unfair statements are made about the referee Mir. Percy C. Rogers, which 1t seems to me in simple justice ought not to go uncorrected, Mir Rogers is not q "boy from Choate School" but ma ture man. an instructor at Coatc He A. moreover, not inexperienced In basketball, He has played for thirteen years on the r. NJ. c. A., High school college. and outside teams and has had four years of experience as coach ana referee He has of1iciated in games for Penn State Varsity, Belle fonte (Penn.) High school, the Meri- den City League and this year he is refereeing nearly all the home games for Choate, and Meriden and Walling- ford High schools. He is on the ap- proved list of the Central Connecticut Board of Approved Officials and of the Connecticut Interscholastic Confer ence.
 was present at the game and l believe that MT. Rogers handled diff fcult game and an unfortunate situa- tion at the end admirably He did not at any time let the game get away from him. He could not foresee or prevent the regrettable incident which finally interrupted the game. He came with the reputation of being a compe- tent official and his conduct of the game. I believe, justified that reputa- ton.
 I wish also to make it clear that Mir. Rogers did not, as stated in the Herald article, forfeit the game to Bristol
 HENRY E. COTTLE, -..
 Principal,

 The Herald is glad to print Mir. Cottles' communication: but at the same time begs to call attention to the fact that the article to which he takes exception was not one in which the Herald was making the allegations.

The article was simply collection Of statements by High school players and spectators to whom a reporter was referred by Coach Cassidy and state ments by MT Cassidy himself The ar- tiele il question simply told what these peonlp said,
 In the interests of clean sports for the rising generation, tho Herald hopes that all differences between such old friends as Bristol and New Britain will be smoothed out and friendly relations between the two schools re- sumed.

London, Jan. 26.--London clubland has for long time been in a bad way financially, and something like a crisis seems to have set in at the end of the year.

Remarkable Home Treatment

 In the year of 1893 I was attacked by Muscular and Sub-acute Rheuma- tsm. I suffered as only those who are thus afflicted know, for over three years. I tried remedy after remedy, but such relief as I obtained was only temporary. Finally, I found a treatment that cured me completely. and such a pitiful con dition has never returned. I have given it to number who were ter ribly afflicted, even bedridden, some of them seventy to eighty years old. and the results were the same as in my own case.

GASOLINE TAX CASE
 TO SUPREME COURT
Standard Oil Company Files Alp. peal From Pulaski
 County.

Little Rock, Feh. 4.-The Standard Oil Company of Louisiana yesterday filed in the Arkansas Supreme Court ist appeal from the decision of the Pu- laski Chancery Court, which upheld the validity of the state gasoline tax bill. Under the act of 1921 a tax of one cent gallon is levied on all gas sold for use in motor vehicles operat- ing on public highways, one-half to go to the state and one-half to the county in which it is collected.
 The Standard Oil Company attack ed the measure in Pulaski Chancery Court, in a petition to restrain R. B. Brodie, county clerk. and others from enforcing the provisions of the act which, the cOmpany's brief declared, was unconstitutional. Among the allegations against the measure are charges that it seeks to make gasoline sellers collectors of tax without au- thority to enfore their collections. and that it also delegates to the supplying companies the power to collect taxes.
 No brief yesterday had been filed by the state, but in tn lower court. At torney General Utley, contended that the tax was a proper measure to place on the persons who used them most the burden of maintaining the high ways.

CUT COTTON COST
 BY MAKING FOOD
Southern Farm Prosperity Absolutely Dependent on Cutting "Cash Crop" Production Cost Through Food
 Making And Saving.

Atlanta, Georgia.-(SpeciaD The cotton farmer got his bumps 1 again in 1921 between boil weevil, un- favorable seasons, food and grain buy ing on credit, combined with price on cotton insufficient to pay him out. Same old story, the same thing that has happened three or four times in the last dozen years," said H. C.. Hastings, President of the Georgia Association, an organization for state wide development.
 we might just as we'll face the fact that with the world wide finan- cial and political mix-up in Europe following the world war, there is no possible chance for using normal quantities of cotton at profitable prices to us if we continue to grow cotton on the high cost basis that we have been doing.
 Cotton is the one best money crop for the South, and probably always will be. The time of war prices is over and the problem from now on is to lower cost of production and at the same time afford the cotton grower a fair profit.
 Cost of making cotton is primarily the cost of food, grain and forage for the farmer, his family, his labor CTS or tenants, and his work stock Cutting food, grain and forage costs by home production will reduce cot ton costs from one-third to one-haf.
 Plant for an abundance of food, grain and forage, thus cutting down store bills, and the lower prices for cotton will not hurt so much. We can not, with European countries so thor oughly disorganized, reasonably expect high prices for cottonsfor several years and we must make cotton at lower cost, or else quit cotton growing.
 Most of us cannot quit cotton, hence the absolute necessity of food, grain and forage planting in 1922 the making on home acres of every pound of food and grain needed to see us through.
 Tn this food production program, take the home vegetable garden seri ously. Give the home garden square deal, and 1t will surprise you in the amount of healthful food produced. It takes the least ground, can Ea plant ed the earliest, brings quick returns and if kept re.lanted and worked will stay by you all the season through"

American Tourists
Refuse To Be Made
Golden Egged Goose

ROME, May 25.-(Nia A. p. MaiD--
Seeking the money of the tourist in
Rome, the municipality bethought it
self of collecting from him a tax of
10 per cent of his hotel bill, simply
for the privilege or sojourning in the
city. But there was violent opposi-
ton from the public in general and
hotel keepers in particular, with the
customary reference to the killing of
the goose that lays the golden egg,
and the proposal, for the time being
at any rate, has been shelved.
Already a tourist in Rome pays a
tax, based on his hotel bill, of 10 per
cent for service. supposed to be in
place of tips, and luxury tax of from
tax would have made third enforced
contribution.
/ Ten per cent in the bill instead of
tips does not work out very well.
The tourist ayers he has to. tip any
way to get good service, and the
servants say they do not by any
means receive their share of the con-
siderable sum produced by this levy.
The hotels of Rome, closed during
the war, are reopening, but proprie-
tors are complaining of excessive
costs They declare that before the
war they could feed a servant for
35 cents day, and that now they
must pay $3 for the same food. All
this may be true, nevertheless those
who provide food and drink for the
public in Rome show striking evi-
dences of prosperity and are gener-
ally referred to as sharks

BOUGHT AND PAID
FOR IS PLAY FILLED
WITH HEART APPEAL

Surging through reel after reel of
mighty drama. displaying settings
scintillating in the beauty and splen-
dor of gorgeous magnificence, teem-
ing with the most intense heart ap-
peal, and building climax after cll-
max of engrossing strength and pow
er. William de Miles Paramount pro-
duction, Bought and Paid For, the
attraction slated for a three days en-
gagement at the Rialto starting sat
urday, has indeed been rlghtfully
termed the most sensational marri-
age drama ever built.
A story of married life never fails
to arouse universal interest, and When
the marriage is one wherein the So
ciety dazzle meets the touch OF
wealth the interest becomes even ac-
centuated, partly through the assured
value of the attraction i'll the matter
of eve pleasing beauty, and partly
through the possibility of the many
amazing complications that loom on
the horizon through the very demands
made on both parties to the contract
in the social position they occupy and
the restless life they are in many in
stances forced to lead.
Bought and Paid For" is peep
behind the scenes in many OF the
modern marriages of wealth, tour OF
investigation that reveals conditions
prevalent in many homes today.
Opinions have always and possibly
will always differ as to the status OF
marriages wherein the rites are SOL
emnized solely for the purpose OF
evading poverty. the contracting par
ties willing to take the chance that
love will follow the ceremony.
George Broadhurst struck on the
theme as to whether or not a wom-
an in ma, rying a man of wealth, with
out loving him, actually sells herself
