Women Supporting
 Narcotic Measure
Various Organizations Would Teach Evil Effects of
 Drugs, Alcohol to High School Youths

Quitting in an attempt to make compulsory the teaching of the action of alcohol and narcotics up- on the human body in high schools, four powerful organiza- tions, numbering thousands of members in Connecticut, were rep- resented at a hearing yesterday be- fors the educational committee of the general assembly in Hartford.
 Delegates from the Congress of Parents and Teacher, the WCTU. tue Connecticut Volunteers and the Christian Endeavor attended the hearing, to urge that the subject, now taught in elementary. schools, be extended to the first year of high school. While there were no local delegates at the hearing, as far as could be learned, full support of Waterbury groups will be given to state officials of the organization.
 Will Support
 Mrs Henry Preusser, county president of the WCTU, explained today that the Waterbury organiza- ton fully supports the state de- partnent in its legislative program. Mrs Preusser said that while there is no regularly appointed legisla- tive committee here. it customary for several members of the Wa terbury branch to attend hearings.
 Proponents of the bill claim that the teaching of the i'll effects of alcohol is made necessary by increased abuses in the schools. gcgk n eA q a hnnn voiced by state secretary E. w. Butterfeld of the board of educa- ton, who asserted that there is less drinking in the schools than when he attended high school.

Star Tackle
Tips Beam
At 240

Maryland's football team felt
that it had opposed its most won
drous rival when 1t played 1ndi-
ana in Baltimore last week, but
statistics reveal that Washington
and Lee, which will be met at
College Park tomorrow in the Old
Liners homecoming game, IS even
huskier than the HoosierS.
With Hugo Bonino, 240-pound
Southern Conference tackle. as
the elephant, the Generals will
present an eleven averaging 1876
pounds to the man to be the
heaviest opponents Maryland has
met in many years.
Old Liners Light
While the Old Liners will start
0 team that is not light by any
means, they will average about
IL pounds less to the man than
the outfit from Lexington, Va.
Maryland will be outweighed
greatly in both the line and back
field, with the greatest margin
of difference being in the ball
toting array.
with close to 5000 shriners due
to be present, a crowd Of fully
10000 IS expected to witness the
contest, which should offer more
color than any game staged IN
this section this season. In addi'
ton to the homecoming frills and
the appearance Of Maryland'S So
piece band, Almas Temple, OF

bands, drill corps, and drum corps
