TELL HIM NOW"

If with pleasure you are viewing
 Any work a man is doing, If you like him or you love him, tell him now; Don't withhold your appro- bation
 Till the parson makes oration And he lies with snowy lilies o'er his brow, For no matter how. you shout it,
 He won't really care about it |: He won't know how many teardrops you have shed; If you think some praise Is due him
 Now's the time to slip, it to him,
 For he cannot read his tomb stone when he's dead.

The flowers and blooms along the highways are nat urn's contribution to the de- hghts of mankind. The indi- vidual who takes or destroys these is displaying a sordid sell fishness of which he should be alhamed. Some folks are all too free in appropriatine these things that do not be- long to them. They have no re- srect for either the rights ot the landowner or their fellow travellers on the highways. These things are no more pub- lie property--excepting to en- joy--than the flowers in your private garden.

We used to think that a man was selfish that would pass a fellow on the road with an empty car and let him keep on walking, but have decided here of late that he is a wise man rather than a selfish man.

the cynics on prohibition.
 The trouble is that it is not true. It is not for the lawmak- CTS but for the law enforcers, and for people to say--and do. There is nothing the lawmak- ITS can do. They might theo- etically make minor changes n the Volstead act, but any hange that would interest the vets would be unconstitution- ! and would be thrown out by he Supreme Court.
 The law is here to stay, and ould not be changed, sub. tantially, even if there were ny possibility of getting the lawmakers who wished to do o. And that is impossible too. Most of the wet vote is concen, rated to make a huge majori- y in a few districts all ot which already have wet repre- entatives.
 So electing 8 wet congress an impossibility, and il ould not constitutionally pas, ny wet law, even if it were elected.
 Is there then, nothing to lo?"
 Yes; two things. The enforce nent officers can enforce the aw well or ill. The people can >bey or disobey. That is all.

WORLD POLO TOUR?
"Fincst Team In World" Should SIallc Trip, Yates-Brown Says of Champion Meadowbrook Four.

New York, Feb. 1S.-"The Ameri- can team which took the field lest summer at Meadowbrook was the finest that ever played" said Major Francis Yates-Brown, who reported the international polo competition for the London Times, at meeting of the English speaking union yes- terday.
 Tt would be a magnificent thing if this team could make a world tour," he said. T think they would find some players in India to interest them. A game, for instance, between the American team and the Rajpu- tana princess would be a sight to see.
 "All of the English on Long Island last summer, from the Prince of Wales down, were most interested in learning American methods. particu- larly the business like attitude which the Amercans took in tackling polo. believe these polo matches do more to bring about a fundamental under standing between the peoples of the world than any other international gAherings."

.HUGGINS HAS WITT
 TO REPLACE SCOTT
Midget Manager Has Versatile
 Team; Gehrig May Be Regular

New York, Feb. 1S.--Miller Hug gins, mite manager of former world champion baseball teams, has a col lection Of versatile athletes ready for the coming campaign.
 Followers of the national game know that Babe Ruth can play first base and that he can pitch. but he guards the right field fence. Lou Gehrig, who batted many home runs for Hartford in the Eastern league last year, was pitcher at Columbia. There Is a possibility that the slug ging college product will be in a reg ular position when the season starts.
 Now comes the signed contract of Lawton (Whitey) Witt, once of Winchendon, Mass, but now a dirt farmer In New Jersey, with the pros pect that the youthful Earl Cmbs will take away his job in the out field. Baseball, 1t seems, had forgot ten Wits early days with the Ath- letics in Philadelphia, until Whitey reminded that once he was a short stop and good one.
 Witt went to Philadelphia as an infielder when Otis Lawry. now with Baltimore, was there trying to play second base. Both had come to the major leagues with great rcputa- tons. Lawry, captain and second baseman of the University of Maine team. became known as Macks Flash of Lightning" for he could cover one hundred yeards in 10 sec- onds fiat.
 Witt went to the Athletics out field while Lawry was sent to the h. ternational league, and today the Maine boy is playing left field for a club that walks away with cham pionships.
 Whitey smiled when questioned about the possibility of Combs dis placing him, and mentioned that Everett Scott, Tanks shortstop, may need help during the coming season. If anything happens to Scotty, the versatile Witt will be ready to take his place at a moments notice, he says.
 According to an ultra official ros- ter issued yesterday the Yankees will take 40 men into the south for train- ing, including 14 pitchers, five catch CTS, II outflelders and 10 infelders.

BOYS CLUB SECURES
 RENOWNED TEAMS
Hopeyillc Here Monday; Trips Plan ned to Springfield and Newark;
 Series With Poquonock.

Some of tho speediest amateur teams in the east have been lined up by the New Britain Boys club in it's effort to find quintcts worthy of it's mette. Despite the fact that it has been playing teams with big reputa- tions, it has disposed of them all by scores even bigger than the reptlta- tions. Things look different in re- gard to the future, however, as the following schedule has been arrang- cd:
 February 23-Hopeyille Speed Boys.
 February 2S-Celtic A. c. at Springfield, Mass.
 March 2-Waterbury Boys club
 March 6-Newark Boys club at Newark, N. J.
 March 9-st. Joseph's of Pequon- ock.
 March 16-Open. March 19-St. Joseph of Pequon- ock at Pequonock.
 Not one of these teams is weak. The Hopevile Speed Boys have al ready defeated the locals twice, early in the season. and are bound to scrap from start to finish for third win. Although the Celtics proved a bloomer here. they should furnish a great battle on their own floor. Tire Waterbury Boys club has lost only five games in three years and has several players from the regular Crosby high school team. The New ark club is also very strong although it has played no teams from this sec tion and no comparison can be made.
 The St. Joseph's of Pequonock are an experiment. They are a very fast team and gave the Dixies Of Hartford bad scare, leading them at halftime and going down, 45-33, only under sweeping last minute rally. Other games are being sought and the management would like to hear from the Tunxis A. c. of Farm ington, Collinsville, and other teams In the Pennington Valley league, and other fast quintets.
 The Reserves have the following games listed:
 February 23-Ally A. c. of Union- vile.
 February 27-Bristol Boys club at Bristol (pending.)
 March c-Lcwish High school sec onds of Southington.
 The laurels. Liberties, and Ramh- lers of South Manchester are also in the works, but no dates have been set.

New York, Feb. 1S.--Amerlcan athletes and adopted sons will test the training methods of Paavo Nurmi, fastest of the fleet, tonight.
