Enemies

Formosan headhunters may
treat their enemies rough while
they are living, but they are
kind to those enemies skulls

Capt. Carl Won Hoffman,
famous explorer, speaking last
night to the Anthropological
Society and the American Asso-
citation of Physical Anthropolo-

collector makes pretty speech
of welcome to the skull, ex-
pressing the hope that if he

the organization of these nssocIa- tlons and urges every New EnR= land community to organise along these lines, or if certain c0mmun- ities prefer to study their local government costs through local committees of the National Econ- omy League, to do so.
 "The New England Council conn mends the effective work of the National Economy League in inc forming the public about govern ment expenditures and the urgent necessity that they be reduced in nation, state and community. Such an educational campaign Is essen tial to the development of public opinion to support specific meas ures of economy.
 "The New England Council urges all voters and particularly mem bers of all local taxpayers associations to join the aNtionai Economy league and aid 1t in se- curing memberships and carrying on educational activities. There IS need in all communities for local committees of tho National Econ- omy league not only to secure members in the league for the sup port of its federal and state obs Jectives, but also to aid local asso- citations of taxpayers. Cooperation between the National Economy league and the New England coun-l cil will greatly strengthen New England in it's fight against unne- cessary expenditures in all branches of government and will place New England in the lead in putting It's governmental house in order.

 Wood chopping has long been a noble art and interest in 1t in Con- necticut has been revived due to the increasing attention being paid to our local forests. Chopping contests held last winter aroused a great deal of keen competition, and indications point toward even keener competition this year.

Roosevelt Rebukes
 Hoover For Issuing
 Statement On Debts
Agreed to Cooperate With President Within Pre- scribed Limit t-Very Much Surprised at Story From White House

This, it was believed, was in ef- feet challenge to the president to show his willingness to co-op- crate in a policy that would not conflict with the democratic pres ident-elect's views.
 "I am rather surprised" MT Roosevelt said last night. "at the White House statement issued yesterday afternoon. It Is a pity not only for this country but for the solution of world problems that any statement or intimation should be given that I consider 1t undesirable to assent to cooper ative action on foreign problems.
 q have made to the president the definite suggestion that he se- lect his representatives to make preliminary surveys. have asked to be kept advised as to the prog ress of these preliminaries. have offered to consult with the presi- dent freely between now and March 4. I hope that this prac- tical program and definite offer of cooperation will be accepted"
 Roosevelt is of the opinion that whatever agency Is created for ex- ploration of these matters will re- solve itself into one of immediate policy making, and for that req son he opposes participation in its selection.

 MT and Mrs Hoovers plans for Christmas day remained uncertain. He indicated 1t would depend on how the fish were biting. Invita- tions to go ashore for dinners with friends were temporarily refused, but were subject to last minute &C.,

CHRISTMAS SPIRIT
 MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Many Lending Hand to Needy Families in All
 Parts of City
CHURCHES ACTIVE

After all. probably there will not be many homes lacking the things necessary to make a happy Christmas. People in a position to give are doing much to help those who are in need with the result that 1t Is hoped no family who Is in need of assistance will be miss ed.
 The churches are helping, but it Is no easy matter to find out anything about their good offices. By accident 1t was learned today that the women of the Sa- cred Heart parish are sending out a hundred baskets containing chickens, hams vegetables and such other things as so to make 8 good dinner. The list of presents also include 22 quarter tons of coal. These gifts. added to what is being done by others will make a cheerful Christmas in many homes where there has been very little income for some time past.

 The ""Contemptibles'' drew the odd appellation from the Germans at Mons, scene of some of the bitterest fighting in the World war. Members of that contingent were made up of England's first troops to leave her natives shores to join in the great conflict. The Germans held the troops lightly, and looked at them as sort of contemptible group who would soon be wiped out. After the first engagement where in the caliber of the British was tested, the cheney held a diff ferent view. The Englishmep then adopted the name "Contemptibles" and stuck with them throughout the war.
