Addressing the Dupont Circle
Citizens Association at the May
flower Hotel yesterday, Thomas E.
Lodge, president of the Federation
Of Citizens Associations, and one
Of the lS civic and business lead
ers nominated by the Commits
sioners to promote efficiency in
the District Building, said many
systems now in use had appar-
emily fallen down because they
have not been modernized since
placed in operation in 1878, when
the District surrendered the right
Of franchise.
The people he declared are not
getting the high type Of service
they pay for because many depart
mentS are overlapping. Many per-
sons due to ignorance or other
wise pay no personal tax, he
pointed out, adding that this is be-
ing gradually corrected because
the collector of taxes has access to
the blue sheet filed in making in
come tax returns.
Mr.. Lodge advocated a central
billing bureau at the District
Building where statements of all
taxes due may be obtained without
going from one department to
another.
He referred to the federation, as
being the nearest thing to suffrage,
because it represented a cross sec
tion of those interested in the
future development of the District.
During a brief business session,
w. F. Crosby, who presided in the
absence Of Demarest Lloyd, urged
greater activity in obtaining new
members.
Those elected during the meet
ing were, DR.. and Mrs. Harry A.
Garfield, DR.. and Mrs. BlakiSton
wilkins and Mrs. Lester Buchanan.

A report submitted by Edward
S. Potter, on a resolution to the
Committee on Naval Affairs Of
the Senate, concerning reported
inequality of District appoint
ments to West Point and An.
napolis, compared with those of
the States, revealed that where
the States are accredited one to
every $4,000 the District is re-
stricted to one to every $1,000.
The association deplored the in
crease in traffic casualties this
year and urged that both drivers
and pedestrians exercise greater
care.
Edwin S. Hege, president of the
Chevy Chase Citizens Association,
charged the Federation of Citizens
Associations with dodging the red
rider issue by failing to acknowl-
edge receipt of resolutions from
his organization.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles A. Bur
meister and Carl w. Schwartz

ABLE STAMFORD HOLY NAMES AT NAUGY SUNDAY
Visitors, Beaten Once in Three Years, UnscOred
 on This Season

The Naugatuck Gems" will play the Stratford Holy Name team, of Stratford, Conn.,, at the Recreation field in Naugatuck, Sunday, october 10th, at 2:3o p. m.
 The Stratford team is one of the stronger teams in Connecticut cir- cles. They have played 33 games in the course of three seasons and have suffered defeat but once. That loss being administered at the hands of the Danbury Trojans in Danbury to the tune of so.
 Their records this season is @ most imposing one. To date they have played three games and in winning all have not been scored upon. They have met and defeated this year, the Patterson Pros, score being 28-0, the Norwalk Pros, 70, and the Brook lyn Black Hawks, 20, who, as all familiar with the professional set- up in these parts know, defeated the Wallingford Walcos in Walling- ford few weeks ago.
 Much Effort
 The management of the Nauga- tuck team is doing everything pos- sible to bring to the fans the best type of ball available. Arrangements are being made to bring to Nauga- tuck such teams as the Walcos, the Norwalk Pros, the Fairfield Tigers the New London Boats, and also tc schedule home and home series with Danbury and Bristol. AS 6 matter of fact negotiations have al- ready been entered into with each team mentioned above and 1t will be but 6 short time when completed are arrangements are announced.
 The Naugatuck Gems" loom as the greatest professional team ever to represent the borough. The Rub- Der town has always been known as the football town in Connecticut and 1t seems as though she is marching forward to regain the laurels she lent to Danbury and Bristol for the past fews years. Everyone in the state has his eyes on the Naugatuck team.
 Fans Steamed"
 ANuABAVdSh 10 OAASS ab0AA AbVB OVVA her football team. The local en- try in the pro circle, known as the Gems" is beginning to shape up as the type of team Eddie Leary and Joe Talbot promised the fans of the borough and ct this writing looms as serious contender for the championship of the state. Cham pionships are nothing new to the fans or the Rubber Town but this time everyone knows to acquire this signal honor much hard work must be put in, and above all, the patience and the support of the fans must be forthcoming. Right now the potentialities of our team ap- pear to be great but as Leary and Clancy have said repeatedly and these fellows know what they are talking about, the boys must be nursed along, the rough spots must be ironed out, and changes must be made here and there before we step out and challenge the world. Foot ball teams of the caliber we want in Naugatuck are not made over night but are developed as the season pro- gresses and from the improvement shown over the first game 1t looks like the tops.

ANSONIA MEETS
 WILEY SATURDAY. ON LOCAL FIELD
Copper City Club UnsCOred on in Three Games
 to Date

Coach James W. Lee of Wilby high schools football squad, students and team followers in general will be In position to see exactly how much of Q threat the Wildcat eleven will prove in state schoolboy circles this season, inasmuch as Wilby has drawn one of the toughest oppo- nents in the state in Ansonia high, a 40-O winner over Torrington last week. The game is set for 2:30 p. m. at Hamilton Park, Saturday. Coach Art Stewart of the Copper City club has nine players from last season and has yet to be scored on in three games, piling up shutoutS over West Haven by 15-0 and Hartford Bul- kelley, who has beaten Crosby, by l8-O, scoring 73 points in three games while holding the opposition score- less. On that record to date, Wilby will be very much of an under-dog, despite it's high-scoring 4S.0 win over a very poor Gilbert team from Winsted in night game in this city last week.
 LLmeup CeS
 About the same lineup for Wilby as smeared Gilbert will start against Ansonia including Hawkins and Re gan on the ends, Turliss and Mihe- lof at guard, Desantis and Cerreta. tackles, Junkel at center. Tn the backfield will be McGrath and Ohes- tone at halfback, Laslky quarterback and Fahy, fullback.
 Crosby goes to Torrington in . game that ought to give the scho- flelders their first win of the season, while Leavenworth goes to Middle town for Q test against Woodrow Wilson. Leavenworth has yet to win 6 football game since organization for the first time in the history of the school last season. Yet, the Tech boys never stop trying.
