An effort will be made by the New Britain High school baseball squad to score q victory over the Norwich Free Academy team in Norwick this afternoon. The team lost to Hartford High school last week and if it is successful in win ming over Norwich it certainly ought to score several victories before the season is over.

 The New Britain squad left this city at 1l:30 o'clock this morning.

The World and All
MARATHONERS
By Charles P. Driseon

Unfortunately. l have never had the pleasure Of
personal acquaintance with a marathon dancer, a nag
pole sitter, a champion p~ie-eater, or a long-distanee
piano player. l suppose these folk have something 20
recommend them. They can hardly be as foolish as they
look and act.
Probably a couple can dance three hundred hours
and afterwards marry and rear children, go to the
movies, grow old, and die respectfully. | suppose the
funeral Of a marathon dancer differs in no outward
respect from that Of a professor Of Latin at a minor
college. The professor and the dancer will have about
the same number Of friends and mourners.
But, Just the same, j cannot appreciate the psy-
chology Of the marathon dancers. / cannot conceive an
idea that viii explain to me why any person above the
mentality Of a cricket will waddle around on a floor
night and day for a week or 50, while Disguised spec
tators pay admission fees to see the depressing sighs.
Humans, of course, have a native urge 70 exhibit
themselves. Savages stick sharpened bones through
their noses % that people may look at them and say,
What a fright Mrs. Glubglub looks, with that old
fashioned bone through her nose!"
Primitive people love to make holy shows Of them
selves. The more enterprising will cripple themselves
in some frightful manner, so that persons going along
the road will turn away in disgust at sight Of them.
These foolish sayages think il is better TO be noticed
with disgust than not to he noticed at all.
Perhaps you. have known very young children who
have made themselves unsightly in order to attract at
t%ention. Daubed their faces with ink, or even bumped
their heads against a wall, so that people might laugh
at them or pity them. Anything rather than OBJ
security.
This comes the nearest 30 explaining the marathon
dancers Of any example l can think of. But one must
be very primitive and childish indeed to yearn for such
notorie;y as these people get through torturing them
selves into total physical exhaustion.
Undoubtedly these misguided persons delight in
the staring of the crowds and in the knowledge that

Tariff Raises Civilization
Standards

Representative Hawley. chairman Of the house COM
mittee on ways and means, in a recent statement con-
corning the protective tariff. said: High wages IA
this country have been accompanied BY a higher stan
dard Of living q a better kind. This involves owner
ship Of homes. automobiles. radios. better food and
clothes, and other living habits. which * il difficult il
not impossible to give up.
Progress can be made IN civilization only when
the standards Of living n the community are being
continuously raised.
"Tho protective tariff has greatly increased our ef-
ficiency in all production, both in quality and guam
tity, and 50 decreased the per unit costs. Some may
think that protection has increased the costs Of living
over such costs under free trade. This i not the case.
The index figures show that the costs Of living, in
Guiding food, clothing, housing. fuel. light, furniture
and furnishings, and miscellaneous items, making up
the ordinary living costs. have, altogether, slightly
declined.
Under the present tariff both exports and imports
have been much larger each year.
$50 the preservation Of our economic independence
has greatly expanded our foreign trade az well as ma
terially benefited every occ. %pational class in our
country. The tariff has fostered our foreign trade be-
cause it enabled our people to produce increased guam
titles Of commodities to be sold abroad, and to buy in
creased quantities of foreign products. The volume CT
business increased from l3,OO0,O00,O0O in 1921 to S63.

out maryeling that the thing was 80
easy.
Fer ell they know" he thinks, Il

The truth is that credit losses IN

~ trivial. When a store lets a
stranger open q charge account
they know more about him than he
suspects.
Credit men in big retail estab-
lishments, especially department
stores, become especially expert in
sizing up feminine human nature
since the majority of shoppers in
such stores are women. Many wom-
en- are ~pretendeys. That is, they

when she appears at the credit
mans window, succeed in foolinR
anybody. The expert credit man
knows. that many well-to-do gentle
women dress plainly, and that many
pompous women Of the plush-horse
type nevertheless have financial
standing: but he also knows
that when a coarse-looking woman
