Northern college athletic squads.
Three base ball games are listed to-

just how strong viii be the teams

Northern mines have been holding
their own in the Southern invasions

not indicate that local teams should

had in previous games.

HANDICAP
 |SFRATERNAL LINK
Organization Formed 8 Years Ago in FlOurishing Condition

Bound through ties Of common handicaps, a group Of young men have organized into fraternity known as "Fratres Fiiii." the aim of which is to promote q spirit Of independence among those who, be- cause Of physical defects, would not have the same advantages in the sccial and business world as their more fortunate associates.
 The plan originated with Louis R. Pizor of 21S North street. who spent 4 years at the Newingt on Home for Crippled Children. Mir. Pizcr, who was graduated from the Now Britain Senior High school and had been a student at the University Of Vermont, hGs realized the com pctitive disadvantages in life of che who is handicapped physically.
 Tn 1920 he was instrumental in forming this organization among fel- low associates of the Newington home and since then it's member ship has spread to several cities throughout the state. Meetings are held about once month and smokers" and social hours are en- ioyed at tho homes of the members. r. is the aim of the society to or ganize separate chapters in cities and many members are Concantrat- ing their efforts toward making the organization one of national scope
 MT. Pizar, who is still a leading figure in the orga nization as 1t en- tcrS upon it's eighth year of eXis- tence, is of the opinion that indi- yiduals who have some interest ir common naturally form associations from which a strong fraternal spirit develops This fraternal spirit hal developed in the organization tc such an extent that the success o1 it's aims and hopes is practically assured, it is thought
 "The Fratres Fidii" brides itsel' in tho fact that it is absolutely non aCCtarian. Any person, regardless o creed. color, or race, Is eligible fol membership providing he is accept, able to the members. A perSo! whose physical handicap does moi warrant his going before the pub llc for aid is not one who would bt welcomed into the society.

Goggles, Duster. Cap n Eyerythin'

Those were the days of carriage bodies and wire or wagon wheels, the present tonneau not having been developed. Closed cars were. still but dreams for the future, and many of the cars did not even have tops-or "canopies." as they were called in 1902 Windshields had not Teen conceived, and the drivers were at the mercy of those wocfully dusty roads which preceded the modern macadam highways. With only elementary mudgua rds and a 1o-inch dashboard to protect him, the driver was the vickfn of the huge clouds Of dust. which rose about him and enveloped him-for days to leave their dust behind for the next fellow. A driver ate his own dust. The only protection he had was q long linen duster. stiff visored cap, and pair of goggles an armor which, after q few miles, became so dust-coated that it look cd like an animated portion Of the dirt road.
 Headlights were little lantern af- fairs with gas or aCotyl"ne for fuel The stecring-whcel was coming into use but the old steering bar still prcdominated. Cars had by no means reached the stage whore they could be reasonably expected to fin ish proposed run, and 1t required mechanic or rich man 10 keep one in trim. Parts were heavy cast irgs. the long battle to cut down weight and make parts specially adaptcd to their particular uses not having begun then. And the horn of course, was a honker on the side, with a rubber bulb 10 squeeze when tho vehicle approached within loo yards of anything else.
 Horses Didn't Like It
 As this strange procession filed slowly up Main street the police did their best 10 keep other traffic from interfering. Numerous horses shied at the strange spectacle, and the drivers showed unusual considera- | tion by bringing their cars to 1uli l stop whenever an animal showed signs of fear or uneasiness. Only one accident occurred In this city. 1 A De Dion-Routon was passing the l South church when dog ran out ] in front Of if. The driver tried to ! turn and avoid hitting the dog. and a bolt snapped, releasing the bar controlling the front wheels. A dis tress call was sent out for a me chanic. w. A. Kinne responded and soon had the machine ready to re- sume it's tourney.
