 He attended a local theater and after the performance he went to a friends home at 24 Oak street where he was given camphorated oil treatment for toothache. Leaving Oak street he drove up North street, through Broad street and turned into North Burritt street on the way back to East Bristol. but an auto- mobile driven by someone unknown to him, struck his car and caused it to hit fence.

ON November 16, II and IS in the
Oyear 1922 a conference was held in
Washington which probably contrib
uted more to the process of militar-
izing the American youth than any
other single event since the close of
the World War. 1t was the so-called
man-power conference composed of
delegates from various military or
ganizations (the Reserve Officers
Training Corps, the Citizens Military
Training Corps, the National Guard)
and patriotic and citizenship bodies.

athletics. The Playground" magazine
in reporting on the conference, wrote
as follows: sa

not adopted the principle of universal
military service renders it highly es-
sential that training which leads up

be popularized by all available means.
Incident to such training it should be

vidual in developing self-discipline
and respect for authority as well as

These unambigious utterances Of
Pershing make perfectly clear the rea-

occupied itself solely with physical
training. 1t was because this gather

knew that athletics and sports we're

that should the conference adopt open

A T the section executive committee
"A meeting of Section Six held Tues
day, April 13, the first important steps
were taken towards activization of
the nuclei within that section. Com
rades reported on nuclei and sub-sec-
lions which they had been assigned
to visit. Three Of the four sub-sections
were reported organized and executive
committees elected.
Many roblems were brought to the
attention of the section committee in
GLIDING such important ones as the
strong remnants of Federation ideo-
logy in the party, yelled and even
open opposition to party reorganiza-
ton, lack of capable functionaries,
etc. However. this did not bring a
spirit Of pessimism to the comrades,
but rather a determination to tackle
these problems now that they are
brought out into the open. Another
difficulty confronted was duplication
of meetings so that active comrades
find themselves overburdened. These
matters are to be worked out in Co
operation with higher party commit
tees.
The first task facing the section is
the question OF bringing life into the
newly reorganized sub-sections. Many
Of the problems which the nuclei have
before them will be solved once the
sub-sections can begin to function
properly. Emphasis must be placed
on shop and factory agitation.
