game. That is the first answer that comes to mind.
 But haven't the newspapers, as in the case of all other sports, helped materially to intensity such interest?
 Newspapers today devote pages to sports activities where a generation ago they devoted columns. During the football season the games re- ceive an enormous total of free publicity. all provided by the news papers themselves.
 The so called prestige" incident to colleges being identified with the major games wouldn't amount to much at all without the news papers.
 If the newspapers don't like some of the "commcrcializatio incident to football they have themselves at least partly to blame.

\ WORLD WAR VETERAN
 REFLECTS!
By H. G. Midlin

By II. G. Midlin Tn France I used to like to stroll With sparkling eyed Marie: A barmaid-yes-but bless her soul None truer lived than she. We'd wander nightly, hand in hand; How sweet those mem rieS are. Alas. I miss my barmaid, and Alas. l miss the bar! Marie was not so strong for style, Nor keen for etiquette. But she could cheer me with her
 smile,
 And she could neck you bet! Her glance was like a warm caress By George, she was a star! And so I'm longing for her-yes, And longing for her bar. Of course, my sweetheart here in town,
 Means all the world To me: IG not attempt to turn her down
 For any sweet Marie. A barmaid wife might prove too gay My whole career might mar, So I'll forget Marie; but, Say Could you forget that bar?

 0. Do all bodies fall with the same velocity?
 A. If two compact spheres of the same size, one weighing one pound and the other ten pounds, are dropped in the open air from the same altitude. they will fall in the same space of time. Calico tried this experiment late In the 18th century by dropping balls of differ ent sizes and materials from the top of the tower of Pisa, 1S0 feet high, and found that they fell with 1 practically the same velocity. He showed that even very light bodies , like paper fall with velocities which approach more and more nearly | those of heavier masses, the more completely they were wadded to- | gether. From these experiments he | inferred that. "all bodies, even the lightest. would fall at the same rate were 1t not for the resistance Of l air

municipal water supply system, es- pecially in view of the fact that private interests are said to be will ing to buy it for 31,500,000. Some few citizens have hinted 1t would be good business for the city to accept such an offer were 1t made.
 Mayor Bielefield, however, gave the cause for the city retaining the system in a very few words when he said:
 'I grant that the plant is not mak- ing the money it would if it were owned by a private corporation. Tax payers have paid for the water works and why shouldn't they re- ceive the benefit? Why charge peo- pie interest on their own money? If the water system were owned by a private corporation the people of Middletown would pay a lot more for water believe the minimum charge would be at least s30 per annum against a minimum charge of $5 to- day.
 "Middletown's water system Is not tinued. If the city can have water at cost why not have it? Every time you raise water charges you in- crease taxes, because that Is only another way of taxing the property owner There is not a penny of debt on the local system, which cost a million and a quarter of dollars. If a thing belongs to you, you should have the use of it.
 There has been some talk of a depreciation reserve. If we build up depreciation reserve we are simply i taking q burden from future genera { tions who had none of the original expense. Of course, there are peo- ple who will not agree with my ideas. My idea in a few words is that the city should not make the water system money-makine proposition"
 Over in Plainville, where the ! merits and demerits of private con. 1 trol of water resources was debated ! recently Mayor Belefeld's words | should be excellent reading.
 The mayor, it will have been not. ed, neatly parties the widespread as l sumption that a civic enterprise loses money to citizens because it i. untaxed, Yet the only difference lie. in the fact that the taxes that ar, missed in municipal ownership O such plan is more than made up IT lower rates, whereas in the case of [ private plant the people collect | small percentage Of taxes and the1 pay out many more times what the, amount to in the higher rates. An illustration can be shown il New Britain's ashes collecting sys tem Private ash collectors are taxe, by the city, and it results in l negligible income to the cjyi treasury.

Why Fat WHEN so MANY
 FIND IT EASY TO REDUCE
HIl can see everywhere that count

Tncan see everywhere that count less people have found the right way to fight fat. Slender figures now pre- vail. Excess fat has largely disap- peared. Mark the people you know who in late years have gained new youth and beauty, new health and vigor, by combating fat.
 One great reason lies in the dis covery that most fat people have an under-active gland. Its failure to control nutrition permits too much food to form fat. Modern physicians, in treating obesity, combat that ca'He.
 Their method is the basis of Mar nola prescription tablets. Each box contains the formula, also tie reasuns for the good results, People have used Marmola for P years-milllons of boxes of 1t. And the results have come without abnormal exercise or diet.
 Why retain your excess fat when so many have ended the'rsi Co try their method-try it now. Get Mar mola, read the book in the box. Take four tablets daily, as directed, and watch the changes that occur. Do this in justice to yourself, to please your family and friends. You will be delighted.
