was greatly surprised myself, sew

that golf caddies are growing up to

1T wasn't long ago, / agree. that
many golfers referred to the caddies
who flocked to their clubs every
holiday as d bunch of young
xoushnecks' and kept 4 weather
eye on their lockers and begrudged
the boys the tips they earned. But
golf, like most other sports, has
grown in way that hasn't been

Old Folks Say Doctor
 Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875. nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his prac- tice. known to druggists and the public since 1892. as pr. Cadwell's Syrup Pepsin.
 Then. the treatment of constipa- ton. biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxattves, herbs and roots. These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pep sin.
 The simpler the remedy for consti- patton. the safer for the child and for you. and the better for the gen. eral health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. CaldweIl's Syrup Pep sin. why take chances with strong drugs?
 A bottle of Dr. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin will last a family several months. and all can use it. It is good for the baby because pleasan mt to the taste. gentle in action, and free from narcotics. Iu the proper dose. given in the directions, it Is equally effective at all agss. ElaexIy

YALE PRESIDENT
 MAKES RESPONSE
Answers Criticism That He Is Not in Personal Contact

New Haven, Feb. IS R-In a communication to the Yale Daily News, President James Rowland Angell of Yale University takes up the question ''of increasing the in- timacy of contact between the un- dergraduates and the president" which has been raised several times by the News, and answers it by ex- blaming that he has already tried several upsuccessful experiments and is still giving consideration 10 other possible methods of accom- plishing the desired results"
 In his letter. President Angell in inmates that he is as anxious to meet the undergraduate body on a treer footing as is the News to have him come in closer contact with the students and that he would welcome more frequent visits from the in- dividual students either at his office or home.
 On the proposal that the prcsi- dent should teach, he says, "althoutfl : I find greater pleasure in teaching than in anything else l have ever done, since becoming president of Yale there has never been a period when I could command the time again to undertake the teaching of |. class and ] should be entirely un- willing 10 attempt it unless ! could discharge the obligations to my own satisfaction at least. l still hope this time may come"
 Among the unsuccessful plans President Angell tried out. he says. vas a senior reception which was abandoned because the only seniors who came were the eight or ten delegated as ushers. Teas for fresh men were also tried but failed to draw an attendance.

 Drew Money From Bank The police learned at the Savings Bank of New Britain that Comes had drawn his savings yesterday. but they are inclined to doubt de- tails of the incident. At police head quarters police told Captain Kelly the fortune teller told him to so to the bank and withdraw the money so that she might give 1t her 'bless- ing" She actually made motions with her hands over the roll Of bills. he said. before she staged the trick with the glass of water. Later how ever. he told Sergeant Ellinger he had been to the bank and had drawn the money before the fortune teller called at his home. He also told the sergeant he had been talking 10 both women on the street before the "dark Spaniard" had called on him. That the trance Comes described was accomplished as quickly as his story indicated is questioned by the police.
 Relieve Victim Was DOped
 While going about the city with Sergeant Ellinger, Comes com plained of severe headache. and his eyes had the appearance of be- ing tired. The police believe a drug or anaesthetic of great power might have been placed in the water unknown to Comes, so as to insure a long period of unconsciousness and allow the fortune teller 10 ob- tain a good start away from the neighborhood and probably away from the city. Comes said he had not been drinking and he did not en- tertain the fortune teller in any way. He said he had not seen her until yesterday and he had no idea as to her whereabouts.

Well, we cant have it simply adequate, we must have ait adequate for something.

 Rrittcn's Response
 When Hull concluded reading q prepared statement, Representative Britten, republican. Illinois, said that his views were distinctly ideal and would be wonderful if effected"
 "They are American ideals,' re- piled Hull.
 Britten asked if he did not have a high opinion of President Coolidge and Hull said he did as far ss econ- omy was concerned but how the president could endorse such a pro- gram passed his comprehension.
 Don't you think we had better follow the rresidcnt:" asked Brit ten.
 No. I don't" Hull answered.
 Britten then referred to the value of an insurance policy and Hull said such a policy did not prevent death. To another remark by Britten that the money spent for chewing gum. the witness declared that chewing gum did not cause war and that those who spent the money for chew ing at least spent their own money.
 Under questioning by Representa- tive Andrew. republican. Massschu- setts. the witness declared that he was opposed to all navies,. that his organization was international and that it was endeavoring to substitute judicial settlement for war.
 representative Miller. republican, Washington. wanted to know If the witness favored protecting the Amer ican seaboard.
 The witness said he was not con- cerned over inc possibility of war with England, Great Britain, France or Japan.
 Representative updike. republican. Indiana, inquired if Hull was famil- jar with George Washington's warn ing of "in time of peace. prepare for war" and he replied that he had heard of that ancient fallacy."
