Eagles Ready for Hard Battle Nth KingsuiHe Here
LINEUP WILL
Be REVAMPED


With Raul Garcia moved from end
to center and with Captain Dearl
Adams shifted out 20 q guard, the
Brownsville high school Eagles win
be In top shape here Friday night
when they clash with the Kingsv1lle
Brahmas In q District 16-A contest.
Louis Fernandez VIII be missing
from the backfield, but his loss win
be offset by the improvement shown
recently by Billy McDavitt and
Xavier Quintero. Fernandez, who
has been having dental work done,
has been unable to practice for the
past two weeks.
Shifting OF Garcia 90 center is
expected to materially strengthen
the Feathered Tribes forward wall.
Garcia, who has been q mainstay at
end. Is one Of the hardest and surest
tacklers on the squad and he is easily
the best blocker In the aRgreRa-
ton. Garcia tips the beam around
no, and he Is an aggressive scrap
per who fights hard all the way.
Captain Dearl Adams has been
moved owe 70 the guard position
left vacant when Louis Henggler was
shifted Co the spin position IA the
backfield George Krause. who let
tered at q wing post last year. Is
taking over the left end formerly
held down BY Garcia.
With Fernandez out, the starting
backfield Friday night will likely
see Quintero at tail-back, Henggler
at spin and Phil McNair and Charlo
Jackson ct the wingbacks.
Coach Maurice Pipkin Ia well
pleased with the rapid Improvement
shown by Quinter0 and McDavitt.
Quintero. q ITO FOUNDER, Is showing
a world OF drive off the tailback
position where he can make full use
Of his weight. McDavitt, who Is
playing his first year OF football, is
cutting back nicely off the wing
backs. He win probably aid McNair
In the punttng chores.
The revamped line win likely see
Albert Perez at left end, Barrera at
left tackle. Adams at left guard,
Raul Garcia ct center, Del Perkins
ut right guard, Jim BOX nc right
tackle and George KrausSe at right
end.
The Eagles have been drilling long
hours for the past two weeks and
should play their best game 10 date
against the Brahmas. The Feather
ed Tribe have had plenty Of block
ing and tackling and their offense
should click in top form. The locals
played n much better game against
Corpus Christi than their $50 de-
feat might indicate. Fumbles,

Relief In Sight

This might well take the form of an advertisement. Certainly if any of Wa terbury's well-intentioned citizens can aid in disposing of the city's Isolation hospital. that "white elephant, which nestles by the side of Watertown avenue, it is to their everlasting credit. There may be those who argue that Waterbury having paid we'll over half million dollars to build, equip, and maintain this elaborate insti- tuition it should reap some profit thereby. Just how can this be done?
 Since the hospital was thrown open 1t has been the good fortune of the city not to have needed the services of building in which persons suffering from conta- gious diseases that might spread through an entire community could be segregated. That may be due to the extremely good health of the city; to the alertness of the medical profession of the city in caring for and preventing the outbreak of serious epidemics; to the care of our own health department in safeguarding the city ana it's peoples; or to number of other reasons.
 The fact still remains the hospital has served but one good purpose in its exist ence. It did provide fine spot for the care and treatment of those patients who were on the waiting lists at the various state tuberculosis sanatoria. Now that funds are no longer available for continu- ance of this program, we return to our oft-voiced hope of selling the structure to the state for institutional purposes. By virtue of legislative bill just proposed t would seem as if the city might be able to offer the state building suitable as State Police barracks should the necessity arise.
 Many are of the same opinion as our legislators that the time has come for expansion of State Police activities. Ii Waterbury should be allotted police bar racks, the next question that arises IS would the state feel the hospital adequate for it's purpose. Offhand we, being citi- zen of Waterbury and hence seller, would say yes. The state might argue the point, but the fact remains we have something on our hands of no practical use to us, but of potential value to the state. If our reasoning be faulty blame it on civic loy-- atty. We do think that Waterbury should make an effort to rid itself of it's "white elephants.

Press Comment
CONNECTICUT RIVER PARK
 WAY.
(Hartford Times)

t Proposal that banks of the Con- necticut be made continuous
 parkway from Long Island sound to the rivers upper reaches, offer
 ed to the Middletown Rotary club by Frank Rahe of Hartford, Is not entirely visionary. Indeed, the idea has much to commend 1t. The i'm
 provement probably would not be as difficult of accomplishment at might seem at first blush.
 Mir Rahe believes at least Q third of the land required would he don'
 ated either by the owners or those
 who would acquire 1t from them
 for the purpose. If the pro1ec,
 were undertaken we suspect that that would be true of q very con siderable portion of the land.
 Highways how run close to the river for many miles along its | length, sometimes on, one bank and
 sometimes on both. We think nc one will question that if the river were treated as Mir Rahe suggects the attraction of New England foi tourists would be materially in. creased, while new recreation
 area would be set up for the states own people.
 If the country is to adhere long to the policy of making work foI | the unemployed. 1t is within tht possibilities that start could bt made on such q project. Certainl, | the plan has more to commend I than the seriously contemplated
 idea f building a highway along the summits of the Green noun tains throughout the entire length | of Vermont. This project, If under taken, would enhance and not des. | poii natural attractions. |

Restored Lake Levels

So far this winter the region around Lake Superior has had it's heaviest rain and snow fall in twenty years. This means, engineers say, that the Great Lakes water levels, which have been abnormally low for some time, are starting back to normal. If plans now in development are carried out, the levels will never again be so low.
 It is proposed to construct series of compensating weirs at the heads of the St Clair and Niagara Rivers. These are large obstruction below the surface to retard the flow of water. The job will cost not more than few million dollars, and the saving will be great.
 During these years of low water it has taken continual and expensive dredging to keep certain channels open. Freighters have had to carry less cargo in order to avoid scraping bottom or grounding. Changes have had to be made in docks and harbors. Hundreds of little harbors for small craft have been made useless. Hun- dreds of miles of fine beaches have been ruined. All this has meant great financial outlay, inconvenience and property loss. It will be a fine thing if all the Great Lakes hereafter can be maintained at nor maj levels as Lake Superior has been for some time.

Lower Birth Rates Abroad

The Conservative Party in Sweden is alarmed at the sharp fall in the national birth rate It sank from 29.4 per 1000 i'll 1880 to 15.4 in 1880. One Swedish town, thought to have the lowest birth rate In the world, now has only 284 school chil- dren. In 1913 there were 848. The pres ent crop of youngsters ought to be getting thorough education, unless the school forces has been curtailed as the number of pupils has lessened.
 A bill proposed in the Riksdag by the Conservatives would increase the tax exemption of breadwinners with large families and revise the present system Of mothers pensions and infant welfare. The legislators are also considering improved housing at reasonable cost as an encour- agement to larger families. Talk of dwindling populations almost everywhere sends cold chills down the spines of real tors and of manufacturers equipped to sup ply an ever-growing demand. It is diff ferent attitude from that formerly held when some people thought the human race would soon overpopulate the earth, and It would be impossible to feed and clothe and shelter it's members.
 The slowing up of population increase lr many countries ought really to be good thing for while It should give the peo- ple chance to catch their breath and ad- just themselves to the new world condi- tions arising from improved machines, transportation and communication.

Here's new one that may get some appeal in state where development of rural roads is considered paramount. The Public Works Magazine suggests the ere ation of Highway Conservation Corps. Its purpose would be to improve rural roads through grading, widening, and draining operations; construction of guard rails; and general maintenance. The HCC would be based on the same gen. eral lines as the eco. If that's the case, why not simply convert some part of the CCC into a HCC and call it quits. There is no reason why the boys couldn't spend some time in bringing the farm nearer the city once they have finished their other tasks of improving our woodland. How ever, we're all for reasonable decline in road work and an additional emphasis on other forms of relief work for the next year or so.
