 Mir. Maloney said 1t was his be- lief that few women in Connecticut are giving up their jobs in the hope that they are gaining draft defer- ment for their husbands. "I know personally of a greater number of cases where women are seeking work SO they can be self-support- ing and release their husbands for combat service. As a matter of fact we are finding jobs for these women every day--and the total of mar ried women who will become self supporting in the next six months will be numbered in the thousands. We are distributing 100000 work registration carIs for women in Connecticut next week and a large proportion of these, signifying a willingness to work, we know will De filled out by married women"
 Mir. Maloney said that on the basis of reports coming to him every day from the 18 field offlces of the U. s. Employment Service the women of Connecticut were keenly alert to their obligations and were taking over jobs every day that were commonly supposed to be beyond their capacity. '"The number of women who are taking over mans work is so overwhelmingly greater than the misguided few who are trying to buy an uneasy peace for their husbands that 1t seems unfair to even mention the latter. I'd rather present an orchid to the women of Connecticut for the way they have so far responded to the call to work"

Holmes Bulldogs PIoy
Scoobu This Week

The Holmes Bulldogs will play
host to the fast Scooba Lions FRI
day and Saturday, January 1924 on
the local floor. Scooba was runner
up last year in the tournament, los
ing TO Ellisville by one point for the
State Championship.
The Bulldogs should be in much
better physical condition this week
than when they lost two hard games
to big Moorhead team--the last
game being 1886 thriller.
Team Feels Loss
Reduced to an eight man group,
the Thomasmen are trying to make
the best of their depleted outfit.
They will miss the friendly faces of
Clark McMurray, who was forced to
undergo an appendectomy last Sat-
urday night, much to the surprise
and sorrow of everyone at the col
lege, and the elongated Aldridge,
upon whom the Holmes mentor,
Lloyd Thomas was relying heavily
for defensive service particularly.
The five first stringers are a
very aggressive and tenacious ag-
gregation, however, and should be
able to hold their own against the
Lions, tutored by Bill Childress, sue
cessor to Sheriff Knight. Minus their
brilliant performer of the past sea-
son, Frank Hodgers, the East Mis-
sissippians are not expected to be as
powerful, especially on offense, but
they will undoubtedly give the Bull
dogs some good competition.
Playing very loosely in their mi
tial engagement with the Sunflower
five, the Goodman lads proved they
can do excellent work as a unit by
their big metamorphosis the ensuing
night. They must develop more
consistent attack, however. in order
to derive the most prolific results
out of their remaining tussles.
The probable starters for the tilts
this weekend will be Reid, Baker,
Penebaker, and Haynes, with Col
lumss. Devin and Eubank to be en-
ployed in a reserve capacity.
