Forty years might be considered

the two hundred or more Elks
gathered at the Waterbury lodge
rooms last evening, why it was just
a drop in the ocean. At least that
is the impression given to all those
who attended the 10th anniversary
celebration of the local lodge.
Attorney John H. Cassidy, intro

Ruler Robert A. Waters, struck the
popular chord in his opening re-

as POSTMASTER 80 years ago when
the Waterbury lodge celebrated its
10th anniversary in Odd Fellows

similar role upon its 40th birth

The Harvard Jayvees won by
one-quarter of a length. The Yale
freshman had finished five lengths
ahead of the Crimson yearlings in
the first race.
The junior varsity race was a
thriller. The rival crews banged

Good Case

Mars as a subject of con-
troversy will never grow
dull. For a hundred years
astronomers have argued
that thrilling question. The
late Prof. Percival Low
ell, founder Of the Flagstaff
Observatory, in Arizona, did
much to popularize the view
that Mars is a living world.
Although many of his deduc-
tions were challenged in his
lifetime, there can be no
doubt that his ideas have
gained strength in recent
years.
Thanks to the work of such
physicists as DR.. Coblentz,
a good case for the exist
ence Of life on the red
planet has been made out.
Both oxygen and water va
por have been discovered in
the M artian atmosphere.
Both of these are essential to
the maintenance of life.
