THE THIRST FOR SOMETHING
NEW

Ever since God created man and
gave him a home in paradise he has
thirsted for something new and UNI
tried. Holy Writ tells us that he lost
the Garden of Eden and brought sin
and suffering upon all creation on ac-
count of his thirst for the unknown.
Even the Athenians put up a monu-
ment to the unknown God.
1t is true that there would be but
little progress if it were not for this
trait in man; for it has impelled him
to search out newer and easier ways
of carrying on his activities. But alas
it is not always confined to worthy
and helpful channels. 1t has been
turned to inventions of deadly gases
and machines to torment and destroy
his fellow men. In the end humanity
bids fair to be wiped out in a gen.
eral holocaust that will make the
World war look like a mere skirmish.
This is supposed to be the age of
the greatest enlightenment the world
has ever seen, yet glance for a mo-
HHie at "ildt Souis Ol III 1tlIlldllH.
We used to think as we read our his
tories and shuddered over the un-
speakable prosecutions of the dark
ages that the world had outgrown
such cruelties, and would never re-
turn to them again. Today such hor-
rible things are done in Russia to
Christians that the press is afraid to
publish them. In Germany the Jews
are made the target for all that is vi
cious and wicked in the human heart.
Hence we conclude that mankind as a
whole is not advancing. He is just
where he was mentally and spiritually
during the dark ages.
This is shown in many ways, even
in u supposedly enlightened
land. Though there may be fewer
people going to professed witch doc
tors to be cured of what ails them by
charms and amulets, there are nearly
as many being treated by quacks of
various kinds.
Patent medicines in spite of the
American Medical association and the
flourish as much as ever.
If you don't believe it, listen to the
discordant jazz that is broadcast as
we'll as the high class music sent out
over the radio. 1t is only a prelude to
hold the audience long to induce them
to listen to the advertising that is sure
to follow. Then they are afraid to shut
off the radio while the merits of a
particular liver medicine are being
in rosy %colors, for fear of los
ing part of the musical program that
have been assured will continue
in a moment.
The public enjoys being exploited
in their pursuit of something new.
Anybody can make a fortune in
America out of any old worthless
drugs if he spends enough money in
advertising them. The American
Medical association has warned the
public against hundreds of worthless
Or injurious contraptions hat are SO

as panaceas for human ills, and

1 Grands And Italian
 Recs In 20 Man Team Test Sunday

Sunday afternoon at the Grand Alleys the Grand Recreation, 20 man team will clash with the Ital- ian Recreation League team com- prised of the same number of men. The fighting Italians who have adopted all the laws and bylaws of the Grand Recreation League are very anxious to win over their Idols and a very close match is looked forward to. The feature of this match will be the long waited bowl ing match of the century. Looping Lou Piedmonte, a star in both leagues, cast his lot with the Grand team against his compatriots, while Johnny Manzo has cast his with his fellow countrymen and the betting is heavy with plenty of takers on each side. The rival managers are confident that their stars will set the pace and Chick Toletti, Prixy of the Italian team, has issued a statement to the press that Johnny Mango is in rare form and expects to give Looping Lou the greatest trouncing of his life. This match is long awaited nat ural and for years every bowling enthusiast has been trying to ar range a contest between these two experts. The Grand Recreation team will feature such bowling stars as Al Roden, Eric Larson, Bobby Hamel, who is fast coming to the fore as Waterbury's leading bowler, his brother, Rudy, the Brick brothe- CTS, who need no introduction, Phil Hamel, Ed Rielly and many other stars, while the Italians will feat ure lot of up and coming young sters in Bike Greece, Johnny Bloc chi, Jim Bianco, Tony Perrazzella, Pan Pannone, Joe Maps, Paddy D'Angelo, Pop Manzo and the one and only Valparaiso Johnny Per rella along with many other young stars who no doubt will hit their stride this year.
 Ed Rielly, president of the Grand Recreation team, claims that his boys are backing Lou with plenty of long green and that the battle ot the century will be only a workout for the tonsorial artist against Johnny Manzo. Both presidents iS- sue a challenge to any twenty man team in the city or state for nome and home match. The match IS scheduled to take place at the Grand alleys Sunday afternoon at 3:3O o'clock and rooters for both teams will be on hand to cheer for their faVorite sons,

 TRINITY SQUAD
Coach Don Jesse Picks Starters For First Game With Hamilton

Hartford, Conn.,, October 1 - The Trinity College football team will open its 1886 season with Hamilton on the Trinity gridiron on Saturday. After drilling a squad of thirty enthusiastic candidates twice daily for the past three weeks, Coach Dan lessee has finally picked eleven men to face the Clinton, N. Y, ag- gregation in the Blue and Colds premiere.
 Two sophomores have been raised from the ranks of last years fresh- man team to responsible positions on the varsity. They are Johnny Alexander, 200-pound end, and Rudy Talbott, rangy tackle. After being barred from varsity play for a year through ineligibility, Steve Truex will return to play a new po- sition = that of quarterback. Cap tain Mickey Kobrosky, triple threat halfback, chosen on several mythical teams for the past two years, will play his third year in a Blue and Gold jersey, and his second as captain.
 Improvements
 Trinity fans may expect to see several new strategies as the lessee men go into action on Saturday. Repeating their spectacular passing featS of last fall, Mickey Kobrosky and his running mate of the back field, Bobby O'Malley, are expected to find themselves alternately on the passing and receiving end ot long, accurate passes. Coach Jessee's brain never fails him when his team is hard-pressed The more complicated are the plays he thinks up for his boys the better they like to try them There ought to be close contest packed with thrills, for the grand islanders this weekend.
 The men tentatively selected to start on Saturday for the Hill toppers are: Alexander, left end; Talbot, left tackle; Vinick, left guard; D'Angelo, center; Keller right guard; Benjamin, right tackle; Lindell, right end; Truex quarterback; O'Malley, right hali back; KobroSky )captain), left half back; and Jackson, full back.

 Klinger Back

Middletown, Oct 1-The Wesleyan football squad, back from a score less decision with the Coast Guard last Saturday, began early this week to prepare for the Connecticut State game to be played at Storrs this Saturday afternoon.
