The proposed amateur ice hockey league being formed in this city has gotten off to an suspicious start. Four pona-fide entries have been re- ceived from a quartet of teams. Be- sides these, a large number of indi- vidual players have been fnquiring as to the prospects of the league.
 The teams already entered are the Shuttle Meadow Rink club, the Swift & Upsop Lumber Co.,. the Whippets and a team recruited from Arch street entered by John Gibson.
 Individuals who send in their names will be divided into two groups of players and two or more teams will be formed according to the numbers received. Persons wishing to get on teams in the mak- ing can mail their names and appli- cations to this office or they can telephone them to H. Van Oppen at s45.
 The board of park commissioners will be approached at speci1l meeting to be held Thursday night by those interested in the league and If the commissioners will allow the league to play either at Willow Brook park or North End park. a meeting of the managers will be called for next week.
 Those interested in the formation of the league are hoping that some generous hearted sportsman will donate a trophy for the encourage ment of the league.
 We got in on a rather heated ar gument yesterday as to which branch of athletics calls for the greatest endurance. Art Pilz, well known former all-around athlete and now superintendent of the Mer- iden Boys club. states that the six day bicycle riders must have the most endurance. Others say that a fighter must have the most endur- ance while still others favor other sports.
 John l.. Sullivan, well known vio- lfnist, law student, orchestra lead CT and candy salesman. makes a positive statement that marathon dancers and violinists run close race. He is undecided whether the dancers need more stamina than the musicians who play for them.
 This is an interesting subject and we are planning on getting the opinions Of several well-known sportsmen with regard to it.
 The sport world starts again to- morrow night when the New Bed ford roller hockey club comes here to play New Britain. The Industrial league basketball teams will swing into action Friday night. The New Britain basketball team will meet the Collegiate team Saturday night while New Britain will play roller hockey again Sunday after noon.
 There will be plenty to keep the fans of the city interested during the holiday aeason

Sometimes a distinction is made be-

Today in
Washington History
BY DONALD A. CRAIG.

November 30, 1861.-Among those
who flocked into Washington for the
opening of Congress is ex-senator
James S. Green of Missouri, who has
been in custody more than once of late,
under suspicion, or charges, of COM
plicity with the rebellion of the Sc
ceded States. 1t is not known how he
stands on this question at present, but
his Union friends hope that the strong
Union sentiment with which he is now
surrounded will speedily awaken him
may safely give evidence of his hearty
concurrence in the good cause without
fear, let or hindrance."
Vessels continue to run the blockade
which the Confederates have attempted
to place on the lower Potomac River
between Washington and Chesapeake
Bay by means of shore batteries on the
Virginia side and one or two small
armed boats. The United States YES
sells which have arrived at Washington
today and during the past week have
come up without hindrance, although

will soon sweep the Potomac clear of
hostile vessels and that the shore guns
will be destroyed by water and land
attacks.
All speculation as to the purpose of
the Government to prosecute the war
with vigor is declared to have been
set at rest, not only by the continual
arrival of troops from the North and
the constant drilling here. but by the
great activity in the Washington Navy
Yard, especially in the ordnance and
machine shops. An immense number
of cannon is being manufactured and
all the lathes are constantly at work on
guns. while the floors are covered with
completed guns of all sizes from the
neat hoWitzer to the huge 80-pounder
and the 11-inch Dahlgren.
Cannon are daily arriving from the
Northern foundries in rough form to
be finished at the yard here and made
ready for instant use.

three more pig dinners would put me

foolish thing to do. but there are more
pigs over there, and-and"-. Buster
didn't finish that sentence, but he licked
his lips. Could you have seen him you
would have fully understood his mean

But presently Buster began to have
a little common sense. He realized that
very likely the farmer who owned those
pigs would be lying in wait for him or
would have set trap for him. mo,
said Buster to himself. 'as good as pig
is, it really isn't worth the risk. No,
sir. it really isn't worth the risk. I
guess the best thing for me to do is to
start along on my way. II 1 hang
around here long I shall get into
trouble. Trouble is the last thing in
the world that I want. So guess Ill
go along"
So Buster started along Having his
stomach full. he was in no particular
hurry to get anywhere, so he just
loafed along. Once he stopped and
climbed way up to the top of the tall
tree, just to have look around over
the country. That was where he made
a mistake. Yes, sir. that is where he
made a mistake. That tall tree was
on a hill and he could look over the
forest Away off in the distance, in
the direction from which he had come,
he saw a little farm. He could see the
house. and he could see the barn. At
that distance they looked like toys. But
he knew that little farm for Just what
it was. He knew it for the home of
those delectable pigs. The sight of 1t
set his thoughts once more on the SUBJ
ject of pigs and their goodness as food.
When he came down from the tree
Buster stood for few moments in an
attitude of uncertainty. He thrust for
ward his head and tested the wind.
Then slowly he began to shuttle of.
Where was he going? He was headed
| straight back to the place he had come
! from. He was headed straight back
| toward that lone little farm.
I'm just going back to sleep in the
same place slept after my big dinner.

essential to good health as feeding the
body with wholesome food.

MOVIES AND MOVIE PEOPLE

Hollywood, having world market,
has large purse to shop with. A
Broadway song writer can tap Broad

a movie song writer gets the whole
thing at one throw.
Gus Edwards has been making movie
the first of his results. A typical revue
in song and color. And this is the ideal
way to present the new medium. 1t is
going to be difficult to replace conven-
tional movie form with color and sound.
The colorlesS, silent pictures, with the
emotion heightened by organ or Orches-
ira music, had definite place with the
American public. And rightly.
Try to tell breath-taking story in
color The audience is conscious that
the hero has blue eyes, or that the
heroine's yellow hair and pink cheeks
are reminiscent unpleasantly of the old

We often experience symptoms of dis
eases we read about. The same thing
happens when we listen to recital of
a lot of symptoms. We soon begin to
feel these things coming on.
The reason for this is that every idea
that you read or hear about produces a
mild reflex action of the same sort of
thing in your own system. For example,
if mention a ripe luscious peach or a
cut lemon your mouth waters.
Every idea has a tendency to express
itself with appropriate action. You
could not possibly understand what you
are reading or hearing unless you ex-
perienced in measure the very things
you read or hear. That is why the type
of literature you read makes such a big
difference in your life. Smutty litera-
ture is immoral because it stimulates
the same sort of reaction in the reader.
All this means that when you read
about diseases and symptoms of dis
eases the corresponding feelings that
go with each of these experiences are
reawakened within you and before you
