JEWETT CITY Foundations of Big Three Elevens Have Enlisted in Nation- al Service—Kempton, Yale’s Latest Recruit for Army. There seems little likelihdod in- deed that Princeton, Yale or Haz will be represented by 'varsity ' foot- ball elevens this fall. There is pros- pect that the three may decide to do Something in the way of intercol- degtate athletics among themselves, but this amounts to nothing more than a tendency, says Laurence Per- ry .in the New York Post. In any event, there is no prospect at all that any of the three universi- ties will attempt to carry out the schedules which have been arranged. This is not due to disinclination, but to what promises to be sheer inabil- ity to form teams which would be in any way worthy to represent the pres- tige not only of the three institutions, jbut of any universiy. And right or wrong ,there seems to be no inten- tion at New Haven, Cambridge, or Princeton of knocking together elev- ens simply for the sake of being rep- resented on the football gridiron 1 the fall. Perhaps there may be a better feei- ing as a result of the collegiate ath- letic conference in August, but at present there is apparentyy no idea of abrogating the one-vear residence rule, and without the right to empioy freshmen on the university \ams neither Princeton nor Yale, nor Har- vard could have much hope of devel- oping _respectable outfits. Princeton next fall expects to have about 350 men _eligible for university teams, al- most all of them students of the non- athletic type. Specifically there will be 50 seniors, 50 juniors and 250 soph- omores. The incoming freshman class will number between three and four hundred men; present _expecta- tion places the figure at 350. There will be a freshman eleven; that has already been decided. But no one in authority is even considering a uni- versity team. By next fell about one thousand students, including practically every athlete of university calibre at Yale will be in the government service. Even freshmen who have attained athletic prestige on first-year teams and were counted upon for next vear will not return to college in the fall. Fido Kempton, the crack back, being the most recent recruit to the army. Every one of the men whom Har- vard counted upon as the foundation of the 1917 team is now enlisted n the national service, with the exception of Casey ,whose ~application for the Plattsburg training camp was reject- 'd. Most of the freshmen and sub- stitutes of last vear’s university team are also out of college and none of the Crimson authorities hold out that events on the football an schedules will be met. hope other Planters Defeated Worcester. Worcester, Mass, June 7.—Bur- feind’s wildness helped New London in the run-getting today. He started five of the nine innings by passing the first man up. He also contributed two wild pitches. The Worcester team was crippled. Potteizer and Wilder were out on account of injuries and Tyler limped badly. He was hit the day before by a carelessly thrown bat. Reiger pitched a good game.

New York, June 7.—Subject to per- sistent profit-taking which became too strong in the later dealings to be iz- nored, today’s extremely active mar- ket registered further general ad- vances, especially among the indus- trials. The character of the trading was of such exceptional breadth as to heighten the impression of growing public_participation. Pools were again actively repre- sented in some of the equipments and munitions. United States Industrial Alcohol added 9 1-4 points at its ex- to 165 1-4, making a gross treme ri F sain of 26 points in two days. United States Steel maintained its leader- ship, rising 2 3-4 to 134 1-8, this being equal, adding recent dividends of 4 1-4-per cent, to 138 3-8 and exceed ing its previous maximum points. Steel's contribution 'to the day’s huge total of 1,320,000 shares was fully 25 per cent. Bethelehem Steels rivalled the lead- er and surpassed it in point of ac- tual gains, the new stock advancing 3 3-4 to 151 and the old 4 to 154. On the basis of 5 shares of existing shares for one of the old, Bethlehem Steels far surpassed the record price of $700 per share made last year. Other conspicuously strong indus- trials and _specialties, all of which vielded to later pressure, included oils, shippings, leathers and = metals. Mo- tors displayed temporary - ingprove- ment, but fell away at the end. Rails failed to throw off their recent leth- argy, except for relative strength in the Pacifics, Reading, Louisville and Nashville and a few minor issues A new low record of 25 for Russian exchange, concurrent .with further heaviness of Russian government bonds, excited little interest, rubles improving slightly in the latter part of the session Most of the day’s call money was placed around 4 per cent., and a Stiff- er tendency was shown for time ac- commodations. For the first time in several weeks no exports of gold were reported. Industrial advices in their bearing on the stock market was conducive to betterment. Iron and steel sched- ules held strong and coppers were quotably higher. Heavy buying Anglo-French 5's at a slight advance featured the otherwise regular bond market. Total sales (par value) aggregatedy$3,895,000. United States registered #'s were 3-4 per cent. lower on call.

Pittsburgh, Pa., June 7.—Hans Wasg- ner made his first appearance of the season with Pittsburgh, playing first base, but poor pitching by Mamaux caused the home team to lose, 5 to 3 to Brooklyn. The veteran shortstop in four times up was thrown out three times by the second baseman, but sin- zled the fourth time, driving in a run and was out at second trying to stretch his hit into a double. The league champions hit Mamaux hard in the first three innings arter which he was replaced by Grimes, who later gave way to Carlson.

New Tonddn Springficia Bridzcport Harttora ARTHUR CHAMBERS FIRST TO CLAIM LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE Has Changed Hands Eleven Times Since 1872. The acquisition of the lightweight title by Benny Leonard as a result of his recent knockout victory over Freddy Welsh adds the eleventh name to the undisputed list of champion- ship holders in this class since 1872. Arthur Chambers was the first of lightweight bare knuckle pugilists to establish his claim to the premier po- sition in this class when he defeated Billy Edwards in Canada, September 4. 1872, Chambers is generally ac- corded the title until 1884 when he retired and was succeeded by Jack Dempsey. The latter soon srew too heavy and advanced to the welter- weight division, being succeeded in turn by Jack McAuliffe. He reigned supreme until 1893 when he retired undefeated, being the last of the light- weight champions to lay aside the Sloves without a blemish upon his rec- ord. Kid Lavigne then took up the title and it was not until 1599 that Frank Erne wrested the honors from Lavigne in a twenty round battle at Buffalo. Some three vears later Joe Gans knocked out Erne in a round and for six years was generally conceded the championship although Jimmy Britt also claimea it when Gans would not make the weight for him after he had stopped Erne in seven rounds. In the meantime Battling Nelson was rapid- Iy saining prominence in the division and after defeating Britt challenged Gans. He lost the first battle on a fou! in the 42nd round but followed with two knockout victories over the negro and was hailed undisputed title holder. Nelson's reign lasted two years, the Dane losinz to Ad Wolgast on Feb- ruary 22, 1910, at the end of forty rounds of vicious fighting when he was both Dlind and helpless but still on his feet and the referee stopped the battle to save him from further punishment. On November 28, 1912 Wiilie Ritchie won from Woigast on a foul in the sixteentl round. Some two years later Ritchie went to Lon- don where he lost his title to IFred- die Welsh at the end of a_twenty round bout on the referee's decision. Weish staved off defeat for- three years and it was not until his third ten round battle with Leonard that he was forced to give up the cham- pionship. Not including Leonard's record it will be seen that in forty-five vears there have been just ten undisputed titleholders and that the average of time of championship possession has been about four and a half years. Chambers, the first of the chain, is generaily 'conceded to have held the honor with but little opposition for a period of 12 vears. McAuliffe had an absolutely clear claim to the title for eight years and was followed in point of duration by Lavigne and Gans. The first three champions retired or out- grew the class but after McAuliffe's time the title passed from holder to THE MARKET PRICE AND THE REAL WORTH OF THINGS Written Specially for The Bulletin. When you say that a certain thing is “worth” so much, just what do you mean? Do you mean that the figure you name is its market price, or that it represents the article’s real value? Take potatoes, for instance. The market price is $3.50 a bushel, we’ll say. The bushel contains certain available proteids, fats, etc. Most of it is water which is waste so far as food value is concerned. Only a small proportion is real food, i. e., affords material for nutrition. At $3.50 a bushel a pound of protein in potatoes will cost not far from $3.30, and a thousand calories of emergy will cost about 19 cents. ° With wheat fiour at $15 a barrel, a pound _of protein in flour will cost about 70 cents and a thousand calorles of energy less than 5 cents. With dry beans at 25 cents a quart, the pound of protein in them will cost about a dollar and the thousand calor- tes of enmerzy about 15 cents. Don’t you see from these compari- sons that there is a mighty big differ- ence between -the real “worth” of a bushel of potatoes, for example, and “heir market price? The actual value, i. e. the true f00d is proportioned to the amount of rutrition it supplies. You may “like” one sort of dish bet- ter than another, but your liking or non-liking does rot measure the food value of either. or another illustration: a pound of protein and a thousand caluries of cnergy in porterhouse steak at 25 cents a pound cost you about 32 cents same pound of protein and the same amount of energy in skim milk at 5 cents a quart cost you about 15 cents’ less than half as much. ©One of the by-products of skim milk is “cottage cheese.” Hoard’s Dairy- man asserts that a pound of cottaze checse contains as much protein as 2 pound and a quarter of sirloin steak or a pound and a half of pork chops, and is “a cheap food at 15 cents a pound. “worth” of any For many years expert chemists and food specialists have been work- ing away with test after test and e: periment after experiment to find out and set down for our use—yours and mine—the exact food value of the va- rious materials which are the source of_our dinners. The results of their iabors have been tabulated and painstakingly explain- ed. They are free to any one for the asking, and are so simple that it is impossible to imagine any intellizent housekeeper failing to understand them. Just_at present, when the “high cost of living” is the dominant topic in almost every home, it should be a propitious time for housewives and house caterers eoverywhere to study up the food situation and learn the diffrences which too often obta tween the real worth of suppli the prices charged for them in the markets, It Is quite conceivable that one fam- ily whose purveyor knows the differ- ence between “worth” and “price” of different foods may have not only a cheaper table but a better and more wholesome one than the famil purchaser goes it blind and assumes that, the more a thing costs, the better it probably is. Yet that idea, the belicf that price is always the guage of value, is 5o in- grained in the American mind that not even the most sanguine philosoplier can expect or hope for its abolition, except in individual and special cases. Everywhere one goes. no matter in what department of life or industry, he continually bumps up against that superstition that a thing must be wd¥sa more if it costs more. The other day one of my spark-plugs refused to work, and I stopped at a wayside garage for a new one. Those in my cylinder cost fifty cents apiece. The garage keeper had others of the same make but also showed a coupie at seventy-five cents and a dollar, re- spectively. “Those plugs you have are 00d ones at the price,” he remarked, e apems 1 but of course, these others are bet- = ter. The higher the price, the better 20 the plug.” Brookdsm. 2 So, as_a “fier,” 1 invested in the e = seventy-five cent plug. It went bad: Pitsbursh a3 in less than twenty miles. Which was a little worse record than I ever made Test. by any other plug at any price, before. 13 It cost more but really was worth = less, 1 fecr o g H I read, occasionally, of some girl E getting a hundred thousand or a half ZEs R P 2 S R e L R e v whose | a milion or some such absurd sum for posturing before a moving-picture camera. And T also remember to have read how a man pamed John Miiton got £5 for the manuscript of called “Paradise Lost.” Some difference in the market price, you'll sobserve. Yet there are those who can see that the real worth of the two perform- ances was neither measured nor even suggested by that market price. a poem Judging from their conduct in re- gard to cther matte I can readily understand how a great many good Americans, both men and women, can be trusted to accept Pickford's smirk- ing and eye-rolling as greater than the culminating triumph of Milton's genius —because it brings in more money. At the same time, the salvation of the world depends on there being a sane and sensible minority, which can assess the mob’s misjudgments at their true worthlessness, and can hold the standards of real value erect against the flapping flummeries of the market. The real question for us, for you and I is which of these two parties we belong to and train with. Ordinari] we all find it easier and lazier to dr with the tide and go with the crowd. “It is always best on these occasions to do what the mob do,” said Mr. Pick- wick on his arrival at Fatanswill, during a contested election. = there are two mobs Snodgrass. “Shout with the largest " replied Mr. Pickwick. Volumes could not have said more. Nevertheless and notwithstanding all which. the stubborn fact remains that the easy and safe thing is not al- ways either the rizht or = the true thing. Nor is the popular thing al- ways the wise thing. It very often happens that those with better braiws, or with Drains under better contrii than the average, zain ereat advan- tages simply by obeying their own brains and not the addled contents of others' skulls. They win out, not by following the current but by cutting across if: mot by accepting some one clse’s price but by themselves as- sessing a true value. Porterhouse and sirloin steak cost more than they are worth, as food, these davs. So do potatoes. They "ome high. because so many people cept blindly the market's dictation of their price as being a f-asure of their value and necessity. There zre nine who will sneer at skim milk and cottage cheese to one who will give such plebeian aspirants for tabls honors a fair trial. ‘Thers are nine who will continue to take the market price as a guide to food value against every one who will ignore that price as a gulde to real worth. There ar= nine who will continue to pay exorbitant prices for inferior goods, simply because those pric- es are high, against one who will de- termine ‘the actual, intrinslc value of £oods ard then buy these which fur- nish greatest true worth at lowest market cost. 5 To tell the honest truth, in the gen- eral swirl upwards of all - values, there s nothing left which can really be called cheap in market price. But there are some things _which are “worth” more than others. always have been. and alwavs will be, re- gardless of selling price. It is usually, indeed, it is almost al- ways possible for intelligent and fore- harded people to find out which these things are, not by consultation as to their market prices but by considera- tion of their intrinsic and inherent values. Having found them out, it is usually possible to make very con- siderable savings by buying the things which are worth more and cost less, rather than the things which cost more and are worth less. It is along this line that some of us are working and are thereby reduc- ing appreciably the onerous costs of living. It is along this line that any one who i= disposed tp take a little trouble can act to cut down domestic expens- es. But, to follow it out successfully, it is absolutely necessary at the out- set to have a clear comprehension of the all-important fact that current selling price has very small bearing on the matter of actual worth.
