Mary has little cat,

However, on his toes and tail,
The fur Is snowy white.
That cat Is nearly always goVd;
He stays at home and rests
While all the little naughty cats

Mary also has two dogs
That make frisky pair;
They always tear their toys apart,
And never seem 10 care.
The dogs have hair that's tan and white,
But running Up and down
Soon makes the cleaning, creamy fur
A dirty yellow.brown.

Although they really shouldn't,

For II she could, she wouldn't.

For Mary has two lively dogs,
And q charming little kitty.

And now you all must see,

Meriden dog lovers stormed a public
meeting to protest the proposed ordi-
nance compelling all dogs to be on leash
when on public streets or highways. The
idea was to protect the animals from
motor vehicles, but dog owners claimed
that there was more injustice to dogs In
leashing them so generally than In allow
ing them freedom. After all the argu-
rnents had been voiced the person who
originated the idea withdrew his petition.

Last night in the High School
Gym, the still champion and I'M
defeated Lions Club five whipped
the High School Varsity by the
score of so to 48.
The game got away to fast
start, with the Lions taking the
lead. Conchs played fair brand
of ball and stayed as close to the
Lions as could be expected, al
though neither team played
very clean game.
Conchs were missing passes left
and right, and there were many
perfect turnover passes during
the playing. Lions showed their
regular top-form, were not wor-
rying about winning, as much as
they were about making their 100
points, which they seem to have
a habit of doing.
For the victors, Pinder and
Smith played outstanding, and
even though Smith was put out
on fouls he amassed his usual
total of twenty points. Saunders
and HcMahon, showing good
form, came through with II and
10 points, respectively. Both dis
played good work on the defense
as well as the offense.

DeMolays took first score and
led by two points at the half. They

good defensive game the first
half. However, they gave up
hope when the Army took the
lead.
To the establishment of every
one, Knight did not have his

White and Ross played a good
game for the Army, and Roche,
