A. gymnasium was not as large a one as on the occasion when, Putnam high’s représentatives were defeated here by the local five in its opening contest, although it was hardly less enthusiastic, and the young ladies of the school sang and cheered with a vim that must surely have been encouraging to the players who were ;fig);xing for the honor of Windham high. During the first half the playing was very fast and pretty clean aside from the fact that both teams repeatedly had two men on the ball. Killingly was completely outclassed from whis- tleito whistle and all of the Windham players covered in grand style most of the time. They showed a great deal more life and ginger than at any time this season and the possibilities for a good outfit by midseason are very bright. Jordan was the most conspic- uous man cn the floor and has at last woke up. His play, all around gener- ally, was the best that he has ever isplayed on the local floor and his ~ Colds Cause Headdche.

Burns nlsnd hard, but had a worthy adver- sary in Brooks, who kept him busy. luh secured a basket from the floor. Captain Richmond got Marland's goat early in the contest and played a much beuor game than did e Kllllnfly captain. A feature of the game was a basket from the center of the hall by Richmond. Marland still continues to try to get away with the two-hand dribble for which he was so mnoted last season. Toward the close of the game Killingly was pretty well in and the few opportunities that its players had to shoot went for naught in every instance with a single exception when Burton shot a fine clean basket from a difficult angle, although he was al solutely uncovered at the time. Mar- land shot fairly well from free tries, obtaining a percentage of .500. One of the genuine surprises of the game was the fine playing of Green for Windham. This was the first game in which Green participated as a regular or substitute and he clung to his man closer than a brother and also did much effective work in pass- ing and caged two baskets. Vander- man and Downer were the weakest spots on the home team, although they played well for new men and with proper coaching will come along all right, The latter is a little more ag- gressive.

The Cheaper Cuts of Beef. The packers recently assembled in convention warned the western cattle- men that they must raise more cattle or they would force this country to be- come a beef importing nation. Cattle- men realize that there is such a thing | as forcing prices too high. They fear that after a certain point has been reached the beef-consuming public will turn to substitutes for meat. Conse- | quently they are beginning a campaign | of education, looking to the consump- tion of cheaper cuts- of beef. At present 80 per cent. of the demand | for beef is for 20 per cent, of the car-| cass of the steer. Butchers are com- pelled to charge high prices for the steaks and rib cuts most in demand, | while other cuts, from flank and shoul- ders, go begging at prices that range from eight cents a pound upward. “There wouldn't be any beef prob- lem if American housewives knew how to cook the cheaper cuts of meat,” sald one of the most prominent cattle rais- ers in the west. “These cheaper cuts are excellent when properly cooked, but the average housekeeper seems to think that the only piece of beef worth while is a porterhouse steak. “But people who know the flavor and nutritious qualities of the cheaper cuts often prefer them to the expensive cuts. When I look at a nice fat steer on the range and think of how 80 per cent. of the animal is virtually wasted it makes me lose patience. “The solution of the beef problem is not for us cattlemen to raise more ani- mals, but to raise finer ones and then to have the public educated to a more economical use of the supply. It is a fit subject for teaching in the domestic sefence branches of the public schools, for in it ties the soluiton of one of the greatest fosd pro:lems the American people must face.”—Denver Correspon- dence N.

The Awful Pall of the Arctic Night. Things are tending, either by acci- ent or desi in a way so that Dr. 0ok will be able soon to extricate him- self from the painful predicament by the plea of mental irresponsibility. The reports of his nervous breakdawn, the absurd imagining of plots against him and his preclous records, and his re- tirement to a place of rist and quiet to recuperate from the effects of wor- ry and overwork, are a natural or de- liberate preparation of the popular niind for some such expectation >f the explorer's unaccountable conduct. The theory that the Arctic life, if pro. tracted, often upsets the mind is gen- erally accepted, and any effect of the awful year that Dr. Cook must have spent in darkness and solitude after his return' from wherever he went that might appear, would be regarded as within the llmluvglt"{easona:la g?n- sequence. Harry ney, the ew Haven hunter, describes in the De- cember Qutlook these efftcts in an im- pressive paragraph, as follows: “No words can adequately describe the awful pall of the Arctie night; it is unreal and terrible. The continued darkness brings with it a fearful still- ness, over which seems to brood im- pending doom—something Intangible, indeseribable, uncanny. Intense an severs as the cold may be, any active man can stand It without serious suf- fering, for that acts only on the phy- sical peing and can be guarded against, but the prolonged sunless night has a dire effect upon the mind, which only exercise and diversion can counter- act.” This is enough to account for Dr. Cook, if he needs accounting for, as he will need to be accounted for if he continues to lose ground as he is los- ing it through his failure to prove his claim.—Waterbury American.

REPORTS FROM LABOR UNIONS State Bureau of Statistics Shows that There are 1,172 Organizations in Massachuetts, A report on labor ofganizations, forming the second part of the thir- ty-ninth annual report of the state bu- reau of statistics, has been isssued. It is one of the most comprehensive doc- uments of its kind published in Mas- sachusetts, and may be obtained at the state house. Of the 113 interni tional organizations which have char- tered locals in Massachusets all but four replied to the inquries of the bu- reau. The internationals having each more than thirty chartered locals in Massachusetts were the following: United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners, 131; Brotherhood of Painter: Decorators and _ Paperhangers, Boot and Shoe Workers' Union, 6 Bricklayers and Masons’ International Union, 50; International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 44: United Textile ‘Workers, 41; Hotel and Restaurant Employes’ International AMiance and Bartenders’' International League, 38; Retafl Clerks’ International Protective Association, 35. There has been no such thing as a uniform increase or decrease in labor unions in this state in the past five years. In 1904 there were 1420, In 1605, 1,298, in 1906, 1,340, in 1007, 1,369 and in 1908, 1,334. In the period of f{ndustrial depression beginning in the latter part of 1907 a large number of unions either disbanded or amalga- mated with other local organizations in the same locality, and comparative- 1y few unions were organized in that perfod. ‘There are 11,625 women members of trades unions in this state, and of this number, 3. or 38.46 per cent., are boot and shoe workers. But the cotton mill operatives form a close second with 3,457, or 34.15 per cent. The remaining 27.39 per cent, are di vided among cigarmakers and stri pers, garment workers, retail clerks, musicians and actresses, hotel and restaurant employes, _compositors, bookbinders, laundry workers, tailors and dressmakers, and railroad tele- graphers. Of the 1 unfons in Massachu- setts, 109 contain both sexes and five are composed of women solely.—Bos- ton Transeript.
