 A story recently appeared in a Lon don newspaper relating how police man lent a medical man seven shi1- lings with which to return to his home in Brighton. The doctor wrote a letter of commendation to Scotland Yard, which resulted in the statement by an official of that office that daily many such letters are received, and that in many cases policemen go to remarkable extremes in aiding the un- fortunate.
 This summer a little American girl lost her parents while sightseeing. She was found by a policeman. and when he learned the name of the hotel at which her people were staying, he hailed a taxi cab and paid the driver to take the child there. The officer did not give the little girl his name, and it was only several days later that the father, a Chicago banker, and the girl came across the man on duty He was rewarded, and a letter of commendaGon sent to headquarters.

by Harrisburg last week it does not mean that the Red and Black is out in determining the state champion ship. In fact the outcome of the Hartford game will go a long way in determining the state champion ship. Ansonia High may claim the title, but Torrtngton High defeated the valley team in contest this sea- son which would put them out of the running, and Hartford High has decisively defeated the Torrington eleven B to 6.
 The Red and Black will go through a stiff workout this afternoon at New field Park. The squad was out yes terday but they did not go through heavy scrimmaging, most of the time being utilized on signal play and for ward passing. Captain Frankie Mer- tens will be out of the game as a result of the injury received in the Harrisburg game, but it is probable that DonbuIlan and Clapp Lynch, who also received injuries, will play.
