Bluffton High Eleven Will Tangle
With Pandora Gridders Here Friday

Bluffton Highs traditional grid
iron contest with Pandora, enlivened
all the more this year by the fact
that the opposing coaches are Bluff
ton graduates, is expected to draw a
near-record crowd when the two
crews clash this Friday night un-
der the flood lights at Harmon field.
1t will be the first start of the
season for both outfits but they
have been drilling hard for three
weeks and smoothly functioning at
tacks likely will be characteristic of
the play of the two.
Bluffton and Pandora both suf-
fered from graduation last spring,
and the tilt this fall will find five
lettermen in the lineup of each
school.
With no games played as yet,
there is little of definite nature to
indicate the calibre of either crew,
but advance reports indicate that
each will have good-sized, alert
teams this fall.
RIVALRY ITENsIFIED
The existing rivalry between the
two schools usually results in Bluff
ton and Pandora battling on prac-
tically even terms in the traditional
contest, and thrills aplenty always
are assured.
Intensifying the rivalry this year
is the fact that coaches of the two
opposing teams both formerly star
red at Bluffton High school.
On the bench for Bluffton will be
Dwight Diller, mentor here for the
past two seasons, a Bluffton High
graduate in 1888. Jim Miller, who
was graduated from here in 1885,
is coaching this year at Pandora.
Pandora hackers are said to still
be ranking over last years game
when the Bluffton crew won, 6 to O,
by virtue of headsup play and a
stalwart defense.
Pandora brought powerful team
here for the contest, but Bluffton
scored early in the game, then beat
back repeated last half assaults to
clinch the victory.
HEAVIER TEAM
Buttons team this fall will be
considerably heavier than that which
represented the local school last
year, and most of those who likely
will break into the lineup Friday
night have had previous experience,
either as lettermen or reserves on

SALVATION ARMY PUBLISHES BOOK
Distinct Services of Mem=
 bers Outlined in Latest Publication

The arm of service in The Salva- tion Army continues to reach out into new lands, according to the 1889 year book, of that organization, which has just been received by It. Col. Donald McMillan, who heads the Army's work in New England. For the year book shows tat The Salvation Army now operates its varied services for the soul and body of men, women and children in 97 countries and colonies.
 Colonel McMillan points out that in the United States, alone, the Armys work in caring for friendless, is supervised by 1907 commissioned full time officers. There are scat tered in 1768 corps and outposts in the far reaches of the land, where a stupendous work, which aids to make life happier for all, goes on hour by hour.
 The year book shows that in America, the Army operates 267 social service institutions, homes and hospitals.
 Philippine Islands and French Indo-China are the newest fields added to the long list of lands, where 1O4 different languages are used to tell the gospel story and carry on a worldwide social service program.
 The book goes on to tell of valiant work for war sufferers in China's battle fronts by Chinese Salvation ists. Army working with Japanese troops, just as did American men on fields of France, when American and women of The Salvation Army soldiery was in action, during World War and work among Lepers in Netherland Indies.
 Caring for Spanish children, torn from their homes and loved ones, by war; emergency service in flood sectors and relief in hurricane cent CTS of the United States, are added to the world total of human jobs. To carry on these items of Good- Toward Men and millions Of others, The Salvation Army book, shows that in 1888 International of- ficers totaled 26,877. Those fully en- ployed without rank runs over 10000. An amazing total of 85,244 gives one an idea of the bigness of lite roll of senior and young peoples officers, bandsmen, scngsters and corps cadets.
 You must talk in terms of mill lions, when you delve into units of service for the friendless of the world. For instance, beds supplied reached staggering total of 12.27O, ,669. Meals served 24,319,620.
 Thousands upon thousands of dis tinct services are added to these statistics, as auditors count number of unwed mothers cared for, child ren and mothers sent to summer camps, children in day nurseries, the work in slums and prisons, together with a gigantic religious program.

|$1O,OOO ACTION
 DUE TO START
Fatal Accident on E. Main Street Is Basis of
 Claim

Trial of the $10000 civil action of Robert James, administrator, against the City of Waterbury and Bartley Hall of Stepney, is expected to start tomorrow before a jury in superior court, or immediately upon the com- pletion of the action of John De- Pastino against the Meriden Savings Bank, now on trial.
 James sues as administrator and father of Robert James, 2, who was fatally injured when struck by the Hall car at the corner of East Main and Mill streets.
 The city is involved on the claim that cross walks were obliterated and the traffic light was not in operation, thus subjecting the child to unnecessary traffic hazards.
 Attorney Francis Mcdonald ap- pears for the plaintiff. The defend- ant Hall is represented by Attorney J. Warren Upson, and the city by Assistant Corporation Counsel Tim othy Sullivan. The latter has been ill, and this consideration may cause a delay in the start of the trial.
