HIGH SCHOOL NINE
 IN MORE HOME GAMES
Cassidy says That Schedule Retuln- cd By school Board Can
 Be Changed

More home games will be added to the schedule of the New Britain High school baseball team, but whether they will replace some Of the sames scheduled away from home IS a matter of which will be taken up later. Coach Cassidy ln- formed Principal Louis r. Slade this morning that it would be possible to make these arrangements.
 This Is the result of the acton Of the school board in returning the baseball schedule because it contain- ed one home game out of n con- tests. The school board members were O. the opinion that the sched- uIe was not fair to pupils who might wish to s,a some home games. By unanimous vote the school board de cided to return the schedule with a re0uest that more home games be added.
 The reason Tor the lack Of home games was due to the fact that there was little or no money in the athletic treasury 10 finance them. How they will arrange this matter is q ques- ton which will have to bH decided at conference between Physical Director Cassidy, Principal Slade and Supt Holmes.

The democratic caucus of com mon council members last night was enlivened by a criticism of Mayor Paonessa by Councilman William D. Boyle of the sixth ward, who charged that the mayor had don- much 10 break up the party organi- zation by not taking party men into his confidence.
 You had the best organization ever when you were elected last spring." Boyle opened.
 The mayor agreed. and the coun- cilman followed with a declaration: Do you know that you are being blamed for that orga nzation falling apart?'
 Paonessa turned in his chair. sur prised, and asked who is blaming him. Boyle answered that the gen eral public, and by way of further explaining asserted that the mayor took no one into his confidence. When the mayor asked who. in the councilman's opinion, should have been taken into confidence. Bowie replied: "Thn members of the com mon council: they rise or fall with you'
 The conversation continued with the mayor insisting that it is his duty to make appointments 10 which Councilman Boyle agreed. As { rl Inc activities of the democratic town committee, Boyle made clear his stand on this point, saying:

STUDENTS AT YALE DISCUSS CHAPEL
Controversy Over Optional At-

New Haven Conn, April l6. tCID Spring is here and the thoughts of college undergraduates the Coun- trv over are turning lightly to love, bright neCkties and moonlight, but the young gentlemen of Yale are III the throes of controversy over optional religious exercises.
 To be sure. a few of the less ser ious-minIed have reacted to the season and painted the historic Berllley lions blue. But the body Of the university. which yearly rolls up huge majorities in favor of sChol- aStic attainment rather than ath- leticS, and prefers business to less serious pursuits, is ardently con- Ctrned in whether it is more re- ligiouS for a thousand students to go to chapel because they have to. or 3 scant score to attend because they wish 10.
 II all started when William Lyon Phelps, noted English savant and ordained parson. joined with Dean Luther A. Weigle of the Divinity school in the Yale Daily News in advocating d return to compulsory chapel. Compulsory chapel was abandoned three years ago after a storm of protest from students.

 This was far from the case. how ever. "Outsde of what bootleegt rs sold uS before we came aboard the ship was as dry as dust" one Amerl- can said.

Judging from which it will be seen that salmon caught from spawning areas is lower this year than any since 1921.
 Notwithstanding the law, re- gulations and creek watchmen, we emphaticaily assert that 90 per cent of seine caught salmon are illegally caught in closed areas. Areas immediately trib- utary to or immediately in the salmon streams. The small average catch of the seiners bear out statement of fishermen that there was NO ESCAPENIENT of early salmon this year. Af- ter closure of the Icy Straits section the seed scapement be- came more plentiful until at this date there is immediate danger of overseeing and use
 ess and needless waste of goou food fish thereby.

THEY KNOW NOTHING-YET

pr. Fred A. Davidson has been assigned to the Southeastern Alaska fishery to give a compre- hensive study of the pink sal mon. Speaking of this move. Mr. O'Malley says:
 "Dr. Davidson has joined the scientific staff of the Bureau of Fisheries and will devote his time to this district. Little is known about the pink salmon and also whether or not it re- turns to the parent stream. As it is of vital importance to South eastern Alaska, he will begin at once a study of this species. Dr. Davidson has a splendid train ing and an excellent background for work of this character"
 Last year Henry stated to the writer: T have demonstrated on the East Coast that the hump back salmon is a two-year-cycle fish," He declared that he dem onstrated this from streams in which salmon eggs were planted that never before that time had any salmon in them.
 Now he about faces and truth fully tells that after his several years as Commissioner of Fish cries with the resources of the United States Government be- him, he has learned and knows nothing about pink salmon.
 Alaska Will Pay Plenty
 Those Bolshivik Pauls are al- ways saying that the salmon fisheries are being depleted. Yet this year will be put up about five million cases. Not a bad pack for a depleted fsheries!"
 Figures Do Lie
 The estimated pack for this year is estimated around five million cases. O'Malley uses this pack figure to show that production is normal.

A DIG AT MRS. WILLEBRANDT

Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie brandt, late assistant attorney general of the United States in charge of prohibition enforce ment, is writing a series of ar ticles in a Seattle paper on pro- hibition and it's enforcement. It is quite interesting and throws considerable light on methods of enforcement or lack of enforce ment. We are struck by the iorcefulness of an editorial by Raymond Lonergan, in LABOR, Washington, D. c.
 Mrs. Willebrandt's Story
 I have been reading Mrs. Ma bel Walker Willebrandt's articles on Prohibition which are ap- bearing in a number of big dailies. I believe in the eight eenth amendment, but I can't enthuse over Mabel.
 I can't forget the fact that she was put in charge of the prohibition-enforcement work of the Department of Justice by Harry Daugherty.
 She held the job for two years while Daugherty. "Jess" Smith

AT TWO DOLLARS PER WORD

Al Smith is writing a life his tory of himself m the Saturday Evening Post. And each install lnent runs into not an incon- siderable sum. A short genera ton and the American public will have forgotten the famous brown derby.
 Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" brought ten dollars to the fam ous poet. Bobby Burns for a col lection of his poems got five pounds-less than twenty-five dollars American. Beside this he was given a shawl for his wife and a cheap chrOmo.
 Goldsmith is said to have re- ceived three hundred dollars for his Vicar of Wakefield" :" Paradise Lost" is said to have brought Milton $25 in cash and the promise of another $25 if and when the first edition was sold. Whether he got the bal ance or not, was never said.
 At two dollars the word for Al Smiths biography we venture that some of the above works should have brought thousand or more dollars the word. Any way "The Raven" will still be in print and in circulation when Al Smiths writings will be star dust.

and the other occupants of the Little Green House on K Street" were indulging in transactions which finally eliminated in one of the most sordid scandals in ohe history of our country. One of Jess" Smiths specialties was Deddling liquor permits.
 Mrs. Willebrandt must have Hnown what was going on, but she never "peeped"-at least, not publicly.
 Kept Daugherty Out of Jail
 Furthermore, when Daughter y was on trial in a Federal Court in New York, charged with con- 5piring to defraud the govern ment, Mrs. Willebrandt, altho he was then leading official of he department which was pros |ecuting the case, went on the stand as one of Daugherty's character witnesses.
 Her testimony probably saved the former Attorney General from the penitentiary.
 In her revelations" she has lothing unkind to say about Daugherty, altho everyone fam liar with the tragic history of prohibition knows that it was under his regime that the "dry" cause received it's first black eye.
 The little lady is interesting, out she is not convincing"
