JOURNALISM GLASS
Y. NJ. c. A. Course in Writing for Publication Shows Marked Progress Speaker Next Thursday.

Because of a conflict of dates yes- terday, the class in Journalism at the Y. M. C. A. did not meet. A brief informal meeting was held last eve ming to talk over future meetings. It was decided to meet next week from o'clock until 6:S0 in class room next to the banquet hall At this time the regular lessons will be dis pensed with and talk will be given.
 Future meetings probably will be held Thursday evenings during the time now taken by the Hi-Y club, the latter having decided to close it's sea son next Thursday. The final deci- sion on the time will be left to vote of the class.
 The progress being made by some of the pupils in the class is shown by the fact that during the past week several of the students have covered" minor stories which have been ac- cepted by local newspapers and pub lished.
 Secretary c. H.. Barnes has planned to give letters of introduction to stu dents achieving a certain degree of efficiency stating that they are pupils in the Y. M. c. A. school of jour nalism and that they are covering certain stories for practice. These letters will be given only under the very strictest conditions.

 "I was excited about a crime l had seen"
 Dead Mans Money
 Cropanese said that the money was two twenty dollar bills and one ten dollar bill, taken by Cianllone from Renaldino's pocket The witness did not see Renaldino on the day before the body was found. He did not know Mancini, only by sight, He had not read about Mancini having been arrested on the night that the body was found, and said he did not read any accounts of it, because he was not interested in the finding of the body The witness said he knows John Balocki and that he did not own the car that conveyed the trio 10 Reservoir No. 4 on October 25.

WAR STRAIN FOUND
 ID BE PERMANENT
Physical Deterioration Evident Since the End of the Conflict

Washington, March 23. - Physical examination of regular army officers now in progress has disclosed 'the most cear-cut evidence of physical deterioration" due to the strain in cident to the prosecution of the world war;" according to a medical memo randum in the hands of war depart ment officials on informal reports from examining officers. ..
 An outstanding feature noted by attending surgeons in making the an- nual physical examination of all of Gcers, including general officers, now required was the consistently large percentage of officers showing either excessively high or abnormally low blood pressure"
 Surgeon Reports
 The results of examinations made shortly after the war gave the first indication of the effects of nerve strain and responsibility upon officers and of the examination made during last January, Surgeon-General Ireland said:
 "The earlier observations have 
 medical officers think it highly prob able that full investigation of this subject may bring to light t positive scientific explanation of some part of the restlessness that has been evident among the former soldiers since the war It may well be, it is said, that the struggle left a lasting mark upon thousands of men who underwent severe nerve strain
 Symptoms of physical deterioration noted by the staff of the attending surgeon here include: Instability of the nervous system, an unnatural ten dency to worry, fatigueability, low blood pressure and lowered resistance to all infectious diseases and decid- ed tendency toward increased intro- spection and mental exaggeration of all forms of worry and mild physical ills"

ted talking with Policeman Tomanic on some occasions. The policeman brought him before Ruggerio in jai and they talked over the crime.
 Ruggcrio Begs.
 He said Ruggerio dropped down or his knees and begged him. 10 tell the truth. Ruggerio is alleged to have said to Tomanio:
 Dominic knows the truth"
 This was after Tomanio had asked Ruggerio if he would not tell the truth. Cropanese said that he saiG to Ruggerio at that time: If you had come up and baileG me out, this thing would not have happened"
 Ruggerio is then alleged to have said that they did not know he haG been arrested. On another occasion Ruggerio again, with. Tomanio pres ent, asked Cropanese to tell the truth. He did not get down on his knees at this time. The witness said that Ruggeria has never admitted what is alleged to have been his part in the crime. He was asked by Mir Alcorn if Cowboy ever visited him at his boarding place. The answer was in the negative.
 At 12:O5 Cropanese left the stand. He tad been called at 2:45 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
 Not Same Handwriting.
 George T. Frisbie, a handwriting expert, identified some handwriting as that of Renaldino. He said the writ ing in the book found by the body was not made by the same person. There was no cross examination.
 The book in question was then of fered as evidence. John Sponzo, court inter oreter read from the book as fol- lows:
 "76 Franklin street.
 "Mancini knows I have s2,o00. They assassinated me; made me suf- fer suffer. Lillie, Goodby.

 Girl Heard Shot
 Miss Grace Mckenna, a resident of Pennington, near Reservoir No. 4, testified to hearing the shot on De- tober 25, about II o'clock or shortly after. She was outdoors at the time. The shot, she said, was very distinct. She could not see any cars around their owing to heavy bushes and shrubbery. Cross-examined by Law yer Freedman, she said it was during the hunting season, but she said she was able to differentiate between the sound of a revolver shot and shot of another kind. Lawyer Calnen questioned as to what she did after hearing the sound. She said she went into the house and told her mother.
 Maietta Testifies.
 Andrew Maietta was the next wit ness He lives in New Britain, and works in the Corbin Screw shop. He said he met Cropanese in August, 1920. At that time he was driving a car for Angelo Ciantlone. Angelo at that time took his meals at Maietta' s home. The witness also knew the Cowboy. He met Cowboy" in Jack Saonla's taiog shop, New Britain. He remembers the day but not the date of the Renadino death. He heard of it about 1 o'clock. He said Cropanese came to his home that day between 12 and 12:15 o'clock. He was invited to sit down for dinner, but declined to do 50.
 Later in the day he went to the scene of the finding of the body with Cropanese and Paul Mangiatco. lie said at the time he met Cianfione In Salonia's tailor shop he was told Cropanese owed Cianhonc S5 and the latter was looking for him.

ABOUT SHIP SUBSIDIES.

From time to time intimations have
come from official quarters in Wash
ington that there has been great
change of feeling, especially In the
West about the scheme for n ship
subsidy. Particularly has the In
genious and unanimous Mr.. Lasker,
Chairman of the Shipping Board, been
successful in discovering the rapid
conversion of the people TO his own
ideas OF what should be done. Other
political observers have failed to find
this evidence. They have noted, on
the contrary, that most candidates for
Congress have carefully avoided the
Issue. The only ones who have been
outspoken are against the project. OF
these the chief are Mr.. Brookhart,
the Republican candidate for Senator
from Iowa, and furibund Senator La
Toilette OF Wisconsin. Both Of them
have repeatedly denounced the scheme
of shipping subsidy and painted 1t in
colors which to say the least are lurid

POLITICAL MURDER RECALLED.

The death in Nashville, Tenn. Sun
day night. OF Colonel Duncan b.
Cooper. at the age of 20 years, re-
calls the tragic result OF a bitter po-
litical and partisan feud in that State,
fourteen years ago. Cooper, aided by
his son, Robin, recently deceased, shot
and killed Senator Edward w. Car
mack. then editor of the Nashville
Tennessean. for some severe stric-
lures printed in his paper.
Senator Carmack had just been de-
feated for the Democratic nomination
for governor, and his editorial COM
ments were notoriously irritating
Cooper was tried and convicted and
sentenced TO twenty years imprison-
ment. but WAS pardoned few years
later.
This tragedy was not common
rough neck" brawl. as the partici-
pants were men high in social. bust
ness and political life. II is matter
Of interesting speculation. therefore

mitted. Surely, his quiet reflections

You shall never be great by your
selfish deeds
And the thing which you boast as
skill;
And. save it is spent for, a nations
needs,
In vain is the iron will.
For ever the badge Of the greater man
Is 10 sink himself for the common
plan.
This is the lesson that life has taught
Since the days OF the earliest age
Who. for himself has lived and fought,
Has vanished from history's page
And all in vain was that mortals birth
Who did not better the ways of earth.
Gather your money and build your
fame
And rise 10 the heights Of skill,
But Time shall give TO the winds your
name
When your boastful voice is still;
BY the joy you take you can never live
For fame depends on the joys you
give.
Trade and barter and strive for gain
And sweat for your daily bread;
But all you do for yourself is vain
When once is your stomach fed.
For the world has plenty of selfish
deeds,
But toll, for the common good, il
needs.
