As for Mortician John W. Stokes, if l wrote what I though, Sheriff Jenusaitis would take me to New Haven and then there would be no more l.. I. F. Gossip. But we will let Tommy Delinks see if he can't possibly make something out of Stokes-I mean bowlingly.
 Those three NJ. DIS, Drs Stanse- low, Hill and Zemans should he able to dope the pins so that they would fall over from the breeze of the ball as 1t went down the gut ter-DOc Selens' average Is 1O2 at present but Happy Lasky tells; me that is due to Docs fishing activities, you know, throw out miss and then repeat the process for 12 hours. That is good exer- else for bowling even if you never catch any fish.
 Al Kasidas-my pal, I will not say a single, solitary word about Al for his witticisms have time and again furnished many a paragraph about various members of our league-Why bite the mouth that's feeding you. Another witty cuss is Pop Zubras, so let's give him a break, too.
 Then we have the 10 leaders John Vaitukaitis, John Yanavich, Zubras, Pitcavage, Butch Danisay- age, Sheriff Jenusaitis, c. Lasky, Father Kripas, Bill Niazaika and Billy Dubauskas, these fellows by hook or crook manage to stay up there, especially the pro.Jenusaitis -so let's give them a hand, a mailed fist.
 And say, how many of you care to join the cheese society = the "Smellier" the cheese the better these boys like it. Al vaitukaitis, Happy Lasky, Doc Selens, Sheriff Jenusaitis, Charles Dubauskas, John Kopiczh, John W. Stokes and a few others whose names I will have later-send in your applica- tions now, but you must have Cheesy aspirations. Ats all for tonight. See you at sharp next week-you can look for us bowling-hit a big score tonight.

MONROE DROPS
 ROUGH GAME TO BOROUGH SQUAD
Naugatuck 44-25 Winners Over New YOrkers-Ed-
 mOnds Scored I8 Points
Especial to me Democrat)

Naugatuck Dec 28--Despite the fact that the Neugatuck high school basketball team upset the dope last night by defeating the James Mun- roue quintet of New York city A. 25 at the local Y, Coach Peter J. Foley is not satisfied with the de- velopment this far of his team. He said after the game that the team was making progress slowly" and indicated he wished 1t could be faster progress.
 The game last night was marred by rough play, mostly on the part of the visitors. Three of the James Munrpe team were elected from the gam via the foul route. The visitors did not display the caliber of team they usually send here. The team was slower than the Gar net and it's passing attack was often broken up by Naugy.
 EdmOnds, Tuckey Again
 Frank Edmonds and Dick Tuckey continued to lead in scoring for the locals. Edmonds was the individual shooting star, scoring an 1S-point total, while Tuckey ran up 12 points. However, Naugatuck's pass ing was nothing to write home about. There is still plenty of room for improvement there.
 Probably the most hopeful sign of the game was the playing of George Nixon, at cented. Nixon has been slowly improving all season and last night he gave much bet ter performance than heretofore, getting the tap constantly and scoring eight points, mostly on long shots.
 Nothing To It
 Naugatuck took an early lead in the game and Munroe had difficult ty in scoring a field goal. The 10. calls held the lead in the first half and then barraged the basket with shots in the second half to assure victory. Levenson with seven points starred for the visitors.
 In the preliminary tilt the Re- serves defeater the Chase Park Juniors of Waterbury 36-17. Vaughns was outstanding for the Reserves with Orerton and Smudin dividing honors for the visitors. The attendance was not as large as it usually is. The summary:

 The seasons flop being Mike Hop Sheron, whose average fell from 105 to 98 for no good reason at all, would suggest that he sneak into those Watertown bowl ing alleys and have the pin boys give him 8 few pointers. (You see, Sheron works in Watertown now and tramping out in the pastures looking for insurance prospects seems to have thrown his foot work out of ear-see what I mean.)
 And for my estimable friend, Captain Ed Bobbin, (you expected this didn't you, Ed) I would sug- gest an explosion ball, one that would explode as it hit the head pin and blooey, a strike, but then it would be just like Ed to hit the end pin, this same ball could be used by Lieut.

Chicness Means Stripes Now
Cnndv Stick In The NeuU Frocks
By JOAN SAVOY NEA Service Writer


 Fashion is putting chic women into stripes for early Spring. But such lovely stripes!
 Sheer candy-stick stripes in gay, young red, white and blue organdy, sleek black and white striped dia- phanous fabrics, novel striped shirtifigs for daytime wear and all manner of striped suitings and coatings for the street.
 Among the newest are the striped organdy evening things. They have spring in their crisp character; they have life and a pleasing gaiety in their coloring. And they are fashioned with all the new style notes embodied In them.
 If you are a sophisticated wom- an, somewhat tired of all the ruff fies, furbelows and puffs that the winter has introduced, and which you have always felt belonged to the picturesque 18-year-old, you will be intrigued by the simple beauty of black and white striped organdy for early spring parties.
 Diagonal Stripes
 It has Q graceful circular cape cut to its bodice, with the stripes running diagonally down to a V front, for diversity. The skirt is cut more on the straight than many winter things, gored, if you please, so that 1t fits snugly, flares at about fiounce height and is belted with the straight of the goods.
 You wear 1t over a long white satin slip, so that the organdy, in addition to it's fresh crispness, takes on sophisticated quality of ubtle gleaming. It is the kind of dress you'll be utterly comfortable in. mainly because it is so hattering and new. The smart accessories are either dead white, something not too heavy or else jet, for a choker necklace and earrings and bracelet or two.

The counters of the stores bear their annual fruit of Cupids. hearts and sentimental verses. The spirit of saint Valentine, the patron of lovers, will live on, l suppose, as long as there are lov. CTS - and there seems to be no prospect of an immediate edlct against them.
 This year this tender holiday becomes more than Q diversion. It is a shibboleth, Q test to divide the wise from the unwise, the foolish from the sober, the, extravagant from the saving, and last but most important, the heartless from the hardened. Because when Daisy or Johnny come in to ask for Q nickel 10 buy valentines, 1t is on one of these counts their mother VIII have to make up her mind about what to do.
 Question of Economy?
 She may figure that the sum to- tai of ten cents would buy Q new washer for that leaking faucet, or the thought of the two little banks on the mantel may suddenly pierce her conscience. These are npt times to be frivolous with coins.
 But her ultimate decision about that dime will probably be some- thing like this. "Why spend q dime on foolish paper when 1t would buy quart of milk for somebody"
 One thin dime is not to be de- spised. Enough thin dimes wise- ly handled would put the world on it's feet. Besides the problem of the dime Is precisely the prob lem of the dollar or Q million dol lars.
 Giving money away to charity is right-not only right but neces- sary. The big question is do wt need to feel conscience-stricken
