COAST GUARDS NOW OUT FOR
 SPORTS TEAMS
By LEON w. SHLOSS

WASHINGTON, Feb. IS. The United States Coast Guard Acad- emy, with an enrolment of 138 men, undoubtedly has hung up one of the finest records of achievement in the history of inter collegiate ath- letics
 It is not a saga of victory-Acad- emy teams have lost more contests than they have won-but record of participation.
 For instance, in 1888, in regular intercollegiate schedules in seve n sports, 132-count 'em-of the 138 cadets represented the academy.
 Rear Admiral Russell R. Wac sche, Coast Guard Commandant, and Capt. E. D. Jones, Superintend- ent of the academy, were asked what ailed the other six cadets.
 They were the managers" was the sober reply.
 Get Advantages
 Both Waesche and Jones are jus tifiably proud of the widespread in tensity with which the cadets go for their sports. They feel that the Coast Guard cadets, playing in a period in which as few as per cent of all college students participate in intercollegiate athletics, are get ting the most important things out of their athletics endeavors = fun and physical benefit.
 The Coast Guard officials were interviewed to determine the truth of published report that the acad- emy was tired of playing athletic doormat to the other branches, and would launch a campaign designed to attract first-class football play CTS to it's New London, Conn, cam pus.
 Want Good Officers
 The slender and personable Wac sche dryly observed:
 West Point and the Naval Acad- ehy can rest assured that the Coast Guard Academy constitutes posi- lively no threat at all to their serv- ice football supremacy.
 We would never attempt to build the athletic-pestige of the academy at the expense of turning out good officers. We will never lessen by one iota the mental requirements for admission, even if it meant the matriculation of every swivel-hipped back in America.
 "Of course"-a slow Smile-"we wouldn't turn any Davey O'Briens away from our door, if they full filled all the admission require ments. Would we, Captain Jones?"
 The captain admitted he couldn't see himself giving an OBrien the icy stare.
 But" said the captain, i've could never have top flight major foot ball team, anyway, for number of reasons. Lack of money is one of the biggest. The biggest is attri- .tion."
 Tough Courses
 The office Webster later revealed that that means "a rubbing out or grinding down. In short, the courses at the academy are so dog goned tough that four out of every ten cadets-carefuly selected as they are-can't make the grade and are forced to leave the academy some time during the four-year course. Imagine the four-year course. Imag-

PILCRIMACES TO
 GRAYMOOR BEGIN
Special Chartered Busses Available-Big Event
 on June II

The Franciscan Friars of the Atonement announce to their many friends and patrons of this city that their 1889 Pilgrimage Season to the National Shrine of St. Anthony at Graymoor, Garrison, N. Y. is of- ficially opened. This year, as last, thousands of Waterburians will Pill grimage to Graymoor in their own cars, or on Pilgrimage trips ar- ranged by permission of the Friars through the Connecticut Company.
 This year, as in the past, official Pilgrimage trips will be made from this city each Sunday, starting on Sunday, June 11th, when thousands of persons will congregate at the outdoor altar before the National Shrine of St. Anthony at Graymoor, to pay homage to the Wonder Worker Saint of Padua on his Feast Day.
 Visitors making Pilgrimage trips to Graymoor this year will find many new features accomplished by the Friars during the winter months, paramount of them all being the new Pilgrimage Dining Pavilion, which was started early last year, and only completed this spring for the accommodation of the Pilgrims desiring food and refreshment. Wis itors will have 8 pleasant surprise in sotre for them over last year, in finding hugh, efficient, and spa ciously clean cafeteria style eating pavilion on the grounds. Over 500 people can be accommodated in one sitting, with variety in menu, at popular prices.
 Located on the east side of the Atonement Mount just a few rods from the Great National Shrine of St. Anthony, the Dining Pavilion is a necessary and vital feature that has been realized by the Friars in their hopes for efficient accommo- dation for the thousands who visit them weekly.
 Persons wishing to make Pii- grimage trip via the Connecticut Company chartered tours may call or write the Meriden Office of this company for information and reser- vations.

 There are many other matters awaiting determination, but these are the big items. There are enough of them to indicate either that con- gress won't adjourn as soon as it hopes it will, or that considerable part of this sessions business will go over until next winter.
 Even so, a fair start has been made on some of those items. The long stalemate between the White House and leaders of the tax-revision group

Congress talked extensively about working out new relief program, but so far the only definite develop ment has been the presidents action in putting WPA into the new public works agency.

Congress- Score To Date: Two Big Problems Licked, Nine More To Go

in congress has been broken, and re- peal or modification of some of the business-deterrent" provisions is now probable.
 The undistributed profits tax seems due to go the way of all flesh, and notifications in capital gains tax look quite likely. Moderate" tax revision, in other words, ifs now defi- nitely in the cards.
 Extensive hearings have been held on the Wagner act, but it is doubt full that modification of that law will come to a final vote before ad- iournment. Some of the pressure, although by no means all of it, has been taken off.
 Roosevelt quietly revised the per- sonnel of the board, and Chairman Madden agreed that employers should be allowed to petition for an election under certain circum- stances. Perhaps the chief factor which makes action now unlikely, though, is the general realization that final showdown would greatly delay adjournment.
 Revision of the Social Security Law probably will be accomplished

But--there was her beloved sun to kiss away her winter pam.
