through the recruiting of high school stars by the alumni of the various uni- versailles is growing evil that is causing more concern to the authori- ties of western conference schools than the financial temptation to col ege players to join the ranks of the professionals, he said.
 '1n such cases graduates or groups of alumni generally pay the expenses of high school stars. Several alumni may chip in q certain amount to send a good athletic prospect to their school. This is the worst form of proseltying and the thing we are try ing hardest to break up.
 Whenever we find boy who has been sent to school on a pot made up by alumni we refuse to permit him to take part in athletics. Such cases are authorities are bending every effort to find some means of eradiCating this evil.
 Alumni who try to boost athletics at their college or university in this man. ncr arc misguided by their endeavorS just as surely as are men who insist upon betting upon their college teams. At present some eastern colleges send coaches over the country scouting for good high school material and in- ducements are offered to stars to enter these schools. This is demoralizing.

TAXES

Wh.lc there appears 10 be no Tax payers Association this year, and II is presumed there will be none, the interest in the tax rate is running as high as ever due 10 the remarks or r.. S Chamberlain, of the Finance board, and the natural desire of those citizens who are not receiving any where near their normal wage to keep expenses of all kinds as low as possi- ble.
 New Britain has been fortunate in one way, she has grown very rapidly more rapidly then her facilities have grown. But she has been unfortunate from a tax standpoint as the rapid growth has called for extensive addi- tons to her public plants, her roads, sewers, water supply and schools. All Of this has taken money and the money has to come from the pockets of the citizens in one way or another, possi- bly in bond issues for permanent im- provements upon which payments and inter must be met, possibly in di- rect taxation for the purchasing Of better equipment or service Of city employees No doubt the expense of a youth who has put on his first pair of long pants and outgrows them before they are worn out is great to family. New Britain is in much the same posi- ton as the youth, it is constantly out growing it's facilities.
 The city's roadways, generally, are in poor shape, they need money to re- pair rebuild in some cases, and eX- tend. The water system has been said to be inadequate, whether rightfuly or wrongfully, new sewers are coli- stanty being built, new schoolhouses are going up. All of these things must be paid for, and we are in the un- fortunate position of wishing them, needing them. and being unable to pay for them. Yet. as we let our roadWays go we increase the expense of rebuild ing them. As we allow our school facilities to become inadequate we are simply putting off the day when we must build to take care of the pupils who have not been able to attend ,,Jr r .l,, ton and we may then be unwilling to catch up with the requirements; we are putting off today what we must do tomorrow.
 Mr. Chamberlain's remarks that the "personal service" factor is too great an item in our city expense may be well founded. But who is to say what man or men shall suffer in the cutting of wages? The salary committee of the Common Council met and discus- sed wages. In some few places it recommended increases in pay for city employees. The Council acted favorably on several increases and un- favorably on the proposition to re- duce wages ten per cent. The Mayor will veto the increases it is said The matter of reducing salaries generally, while it may meet with the approval of the voters, is going 10 be a bigger proposition than may be handled,

THE BLIND.

The only way by which science will hc able to do the greatest number ot people the grcn,cgt good. sometimes ip spite of themselves, is through cd ucating the people to believe in the achievements ot science.
 Many pefsonJ refuse to take stock are brought about by remedies well known for years, Dtilcrs laugh at the stamped aat if a persistent campaign were corHnctal with that end in view and if the people would obey orders.
 There are people who shudder at the thought Of carrying the sunshine the extent of exposing the nabed bodies of children to the cold. There are people who refuse to believe that the care of the teeth has much 10 do with good health. Vaccination is de- cried. The practical results of other remedies is often doubted.
 Proof by actual figures that certain maladies and alfictions are being lessencd through the discoveries of science is valuable, therefore, as further evidence tending to make people see more clearly the efficiency of scince.
 There comes the news today that the number of blind persons in the United States decreased from 57,272 in 1910 to 52,6l7 in 1920, according to figures of the last census, just an nounced. The decrease is attributed, in part at least to advanced meth ods for treatment of blindness and also to education of the people Tn prevention of blindness. Conlirma- ton of thos belief may be seen in the fact that blindness was shown to De more common among negroes and Indians than any other races. IL IS to be presumed that less observance of rules of treatment and care cNlst- ed among these peopels than among other races.
 All of which goes to show that people should heed the dictates oi science in the matter of health and physical well being.

RUDOLPH IN PLEA
FOR COAL SUPPLY
Commissioner Wires 0per-
ators That Mining Should
Be Resumed at Once.
WAVES WAGE QUESTION
Has Not Time, He Says, to Deter
mine Sentiment on
Dispute.
WAVES WAGE QUESTION

The anthracite coal mines should
resume operations at once to guar
antee the people household fuel this
winter in the opinion of Commissioner
Cuno H. Rudolph, chairman Of the
board of Commissioners.
Mr. Rudolph so informed S. D. War
riner, chairman of the anthracite
operators, in a telegram to that OFF,
cial at Philadelphia today. The mes
sage was in answer to request from
Mr.. Warriner for an expression OF
opinion from the people Of Washing
ton as to whether they wanted mining
resumed by meeting the demand OF OF
wages, which would mean retaining
present prices for coal.
The answer of Commissioner
Rudolph follows:
commissioners of the District of
Columbia believe coal mines should
resume operations at t1ce to insure
time to ascertain community sentir
The query received by Mr.. Ru-
dolph is believed to be similar to
the one sent all city officials and

tary to the Public Utilities Commits
sion. announced this morning that
twenty-five carloads of soft coal
have been received by the commits
sion in the past few days for allot-
ment to. essential industries that are
unable to obtain fuel from their
regular sources.
Allowing fifty tons to a car, this
gives the commission approximately
1000 tons with which to tide over
bakeries, dairies and similar concerns
which are nearly out Of coal.

The Car Mania

Long ago, when was walking
such exertion l found shocking, and
the auto fans were knocking, as
they gayly slithered past; so l
mortgaged every chattel and my
house and string of cattle, like a
boob with brains a-rattle, and
owned car at last. For two
months or so my flivver made my
heart with rapture quiver, then I
learned to sigh and shiver as
viewed my rusty vain; for my
neighbors were reclining in their
autos bright and shining, decked
with purple velvet lining and all
sorts of trimmings vain. So l bor-
rowed pound and shilling from all
people who were willing, and my
uncle made a killing, Lending money
on my junk, and today I'm bravely
steaming in an auto nobly gleam-
ing, like the cars you see when
dreaming in your little downy bunk.
But | know car that's better, and
l yearn, oh, donnerwetter, for the
day when | can get her, and look
like an autocrat, and my soul will
ache with sorrow if l cannot steal
or borrow coin to get the bus to-
morrow or the next day after that.
And see myself proceeding in that
car, perversely speeding; and my
bosom will be bleeding from
yearning high and bold for another
car that's slicker, with a body made
Of wicker, and patent duplex
kicker, and fan-belt edged with
gold.

he had gone to the bureau several
times to have the matter adjusted. as
well as to get vocational training.
Yesterday. he returned to the bu-

NEED Of TRAIN CONTROL
DEVICE is EMPHASIZED
Bureau of Safety, I. G. c., Reports
Recent Fatal Accident Might
Have Been Prevented.

1.-THE need for automatic train
control devices, which operate to stop
train in case the engineman for any
reason fails to observe or be governed
by restrictive signal Indications" Is
indicated as a result of an accident
on the Atlantic City railroad at
Winslow Junction, N. J., according
to a report of the bureau of safety,
Interstate Commerce Commission, just
made public.
Three passengers, three employees
and Pullman porter were killed and
eighty-four passengers and Ave en-
ployes were injured in the accident.
The bureau of safety in connection
with its report said: Had an adequate

would undoubtedly have been pre-
vented, Notwithstanding the failure
of the engineman to heed the signal
indications and control his train
accordingly"
