The Red and Black demon strated yesterday that they are the makings of one of the most fornld- able football combinations in the State. Another game or so the ma chine will be in perfect working order.

 SeeIey's Marvellous Running
 An eel or greased pig were made 10 look like easy marks by Ii ioWard SeeiUey's elusiVeness in going through Croshv's line in the last period of the game between the Red and Black ana the Blue and White of Waterbury yesterday at Newf1eld Park:
 After Frankie Mertens, the splendid leader of the Hilltoppers had made two successive first downs, bringing the ball to Crosby's 2o yard chalR mark. Bridgeport was guilty of hold ing and a 15 yard penalty was plas- tered on them and the pigsldn was pushed back to the 40 strip. But Seeley. who played a wonderful game, spectacular run. He carried the ball from the right side of the grfd1ron parallel on the 40 yard line across to the left end. of the field With tne ne his heels but here he reversed his runnznS and dashed back to the other 1Iark of the field. rapp1er after grap- r1IeT- had their hands on him but he evaded them all and suddenly he shot around right end and sprinted fl1teeh yards before he was downed on the 25 yard line. cooo-- received the ball and smashed right through the center of the Blue ana White line escaping tackIers here anu another one there.

 Hickey Has Rival.
 Although Frankie Mertens kicking would not put Ed Hickey exactly III shame. he is one of the most valuable yoen to ever don the Jersey and cledt- ed shoes of the He'd and Black; lie has the elements of triple threat; He is liable to kick; shoot a forward mass ar take the ball for a line plunge.
 His drop kick in the third peflod from the 20 yard mark came Ike the r,roverSbiaI bolt of the blue After un- successful thrusts at the line hy the local backs, MertenS took the ban on the last down and booted the plSSk1h. The ball sailed right through the cen tel of the sticks. Mertens' tackhng is wonderful. He has the knack or diving into the heap and bringing hls man to earth every time. And at line plunging.

JOBS FOR THE JoRLEss.

The legislative committee of the
American Federation of Labor is pre-
pairing a bill for introduction in con-
gress asking appropriations for gigan-
tic land reclamation projects and fur
Their development of the Mississippi
river. The purpose of the measure is
to provide means for relief for unem-
ployment. England has tried the ex-
pedient of artificial stimulation of
employment by starting work on pub
lie projects that would not have been
begun had the distressing labor stu
alton not existed. The experiment
failed because sooner or later the
work provided by the government had
to end. and the men were thrown
again on their own resources. with
time lost that might have been used
in seeking permanent jobs.
Men in the United States who are
out of work and who would be will
ing to go west and work on reclama-
ton projects have their opportunity
without waiting for congress to pass
additional legislation. Huge areas of
the public domain in the west are
awaiting settlers to make their homes
there and develop the natural re-
sources OF the country. Many of
those potential farms are included
within reclamation areas. where wa
ter can be had now or where it will
be available just as soon as the requi-
site dams and irrigation bitches are
completed.
OF course it requires some practical
knowledge of irrigation to extract
profit from a desert farm, but anv
man with sufficient energy can &c,
work with a western farmer, learn
the art. and then take up a claim Of
his own. The American Federation
OF Labor would do well to apply this
suggestion TO its efforts to relieve I'M
employment.
Much of the unemployment com
planned OF is due to the unwiningness
or the unemployed to take such work
as they can get They are particular
about the kind Of work they do and
also the location of the job. Few city
workers are willing to give up the
bright lights.

Those who advocate the American
valuation tariff plan claim that it is
necessary if homemade goods are 20
be protected from destructive foreign
competition They would impose i'm
port duties on a basis OF the value of
similar or comparable American mer-
ohandise. so that goods from the low
priced nations of Europe could not
enter in unequal competition with our
own. The plan is clearly in the inter-
est OF American manufacturers.
Time was when a tariff was advo-
Gated solely on behalf of the Ameri-
can working man. Apparently that
pretense has been abandoned and the
tariff advocates have emerged into
the open.

worlds highest Paid wGnas2 Writes.
Frnny woman.


Woman began in mystery for no
human being has been able to find out
why the Creator made her out of
Adams wish bone instead of his back
bone.
And she continues a mystery, he
cause every woman is a bunch of
contradictory characteristics. At one
and the same time she is wise and
foolish, generous and mean, credulous
and skeptic, loyal and disloya1, tender
and hard, an angel and a devil, and
nobody knows in advance which she
is going to be at any particular mo-
ment.
Consider the peculiarities of the
feminine temperament:
A woman weeps when she is glad,
and she is never so happy as when
she is shedding barrels of tears on the
second button of the waistcoat of the
man she loves. A woman's idea of
spending an hilarious evening is to
go to see some DANCED, damp, drama
where she can sit up in an orchestra
chair, and sob two hours at a stretch
into her handkerchief. Give woman
the present she has been yearning
for; tell her the good news that she
pines to hear; pop the question to
her, and she will burst into tears, and
become a regular salt water geyser.
but in the presence of great grief
she is stony-eyed.
The more a woman loves her fam
lily, the worse she treats them. 1t
is the woman who would gladly die
for her husband and children who
makes them wish they were dead, so
that they could be rid of her incessant
ma gging.
AS long as a woman loves a man
she tyrannizes over him. 1t is only
when she begins to lose interest in
him that she accords him few hu-
man rights.
A woman's ideal of a perfect hns-
band is a man who picks up her hand
kerchief for her, and tells her every
day that she grows younger and mo,e
beautiful, and that he admires dou-
BILE chins. If a man will feed his wife
her, and force her to take in board
still consider that she has drawn q
prize package in the matrimonial lot
terry.
But man NAV work himself to
death to provide his wife with lux
ur4es, he may give her fine houses,
and automobiles, and imported clothes
and make himself a doormat before
her, and she will esteem herself a mis-
cradle woman and doubt his love if lie
doesn't kiss her every time he goes in
or out of the house, and make a set
declaration of his affection. For wo-
men put more faith in words than in
deeds.
A woman will have a great talent,
and spend years of time, and thou
sands of dollars fitting herself for
some career, and then give it up 10
marry a two-by-four man, and spend
the balance Of her life in poverty and
obscurity.

Braving the billiards. bitter sting
There came this golden bit of bloom
To herald the advancing spring.

Soon must the siege OF winter fall.

Each branch Of government appears
to be trying to Guido every other
branch in helping the farmer The
latest move in the direction of aiding
the agricuIturist is seen in the work
of the assessors who are lowering the
valuation of real estate outside of the
cities. This action will reduce the
farmers taxes while increasing the
tax burden that everybody else must
carry. Any reduction in valuation of
one class of property necessitates an
increase of the rate on property not
50 favored. A higher rate will fall
heavily on the city man. whether he
owns real estate or other taxable
property. Merchants. industrial plants
and banks will be particularly hard
hit. It has been said that the power
to tax is the power to destroy. 1t
might be said with equal truth that
the power TO discriminate is the
power to build up favored interests to
the detriment Of others.

Perhaps we pride ourselves on be-
ing road builders. but we are only be-
ginncrs compared with the people re-
siding along the Pacific coast. Ex-
cept for less than 100 miles, now in
process Of construction, there is a
paved highway from Portland. Ore,
to Los Angeles. Calif.-a distance of
approximately 1900 miles. In Wash
ington. Oregon and California there
are at least 5000 miles OF paved high
ways as feeders to this main coast
road. known as the Pacific highway.
In two or three years the Pacific
highway will be practically complet-
ed from the Canadian line thru Seat
tie to the Mexican border. When one
contemplates the road building spirit
manifested by the coast people it is
easy to understand why San Francisco
financed the marking OF the Victory
highway from that town to Kansas
City.
