This has been designated as H'Museum Week" at the New Britain tInstitute. The attention of teachers and parents has been called to the work in hand. On the top floor of the Institute there have been ar- ranged collections of various ethnolog- icai, historical, and other works all of which will instill into the young heart a better love for life.
 Under the able care and skill of E. Birmingham Schurr. curator of the Museum, there has been gathered one of the best collections of natural phenomena ever assembled in this city. It is not going too far to say that there are few cities, if any, ill entire New England that can boast of such an array. To the student of natural history there is a wealth of material over which he can browse To the man or woman, boy or girl, Interested in what occupied the time of those who came before us, there Is the assem blaze of odds and ends of another period No matter where one turns in the Museum there is something worth while.
 In so far as the art collection is concerned, while it is not an elabor- ate one there are gems of the paint ers' brush which will at once appeal Ito the lover of light and shade. In |the realm of science the same thing applies. Altogether. there is now under the roof of the Institute a col Qection of interesting material of (which the city and its people can be well proud. One visit will suffice Ito create interest.

RETAILERS MUST
 KEEP PRICES LOW
All Those Who 0Vercharge Will
 Be Put Out of Business

Washington, Oct. 30.-One of the most sweeping regulations pro- mulgatsd by the Food Administra- ton to protect consumers from ex- cessive prices on the part of retail CTS will become effective on Nov. 1. It provides that no retailer or other dealer who in violation of the Food Control Acts puts excessive prices on necessary foods will be able to ob- tain supplies.
 It further provides that no manu- facturer, wholesaler or other ham, dler of lood will be allowed to sell to any retailer anywhere in the United States who makes unreason- able profits or buys large quantities of foods for speculative purposes. The regulation will be incorporated in the licensing system which will be announced in few days.
 While exempt from the licensing provision of the Food Law. the smaller retailers of food, of whom there are several hundred thousand, are nevertheless subject to other pro- visions of the Food Control Act. Every retailer of whatever size Is forbidden to make any unreasonable charge. to hoard, to monopolize, waste or destroy food or to conspire with any one to restrict the production, distribution or supply or to exact excessive prices on any necessities.
 There are no penalties provided under the food act, but the admins tration hopes that the arrangement of restricting supplies to violators of the law will have it's effect, for the re- taller will Ind himself unable to buy goods from any wholesaler or manu- facturer.
 The food administrators of the va rious states have been instructed by the Federal board to be on the watch and sond to Washington the names of retailers charging excessive prices in this way the government will be able to deal with dishonest retailers who seek to take advantage of the public. The food adminis- tration takes the position that tho great majority of those engaged in the business of selling foodstufrs are patriotic and are making every ef- fort to sell to the consumer at the lowest possible prices. Such dealers will be protected from illegitinate competition. Those who persist in a busing their opportunities will be dealt with under the strict intsrprs- tation of the Food Control Act.

DEATH CROSSING GONE. Work at Lake Street Removes Rail-
 road Menace.

Work at Lake Street Removes Rail-
 road Menace.
 The menace at Lake street, at ono time one of the most dangerous rail- road crossings in the city, has now been entirely eliminated. A stretch ot land belonging to the National Spring Bed company was bought by the city and turned into an extension from Lake into Washington street and tem- porary wooden fences have been erect ed pare1lel to the railroad tracks pre- venting the public from traversing the old route. City Engineer W. H. Hall oontemplates building an iron rail on top of the concrete wall the entire distancee, permanently closing traffic to those that may seek to choose the old route.
 Laying of 1-2-inch amiesite pave- ment over a 6-inch concrete base on Lake street will be commenced by the Connecticut and Rhode Island Co. to- morrow. Work pertaining to improv- ing the appearance of the slopes on the property bought from the Spring Bed company has begun. Concrete walks and curbs have been installed. Besides eliminating the dangerous crossing the work done has resulted in creating a decidedly better looking aspect on Lake street, especially at the corner of Washington street.

Miss Wagner Anxious
To Regain Tennis Title

The women who Will compete in the
tenth annual national indoor lawn ten
mis- championship for women, At the
18th Regiment Armory, beginning on
next Monday morning, put in a full
day of practice yesterday on the board
courts. Starting as early as 9 o'clock
in the morning. they played until after
. O'Clock in the evening. and several
fast practice matches resulted.
Mrs. Theodore X. Cassebeer. Of the
tournament committee, said yesterday
she had received about thirty entries,
and as the lists do not close until Sat
urday noon it is probable that the
number will be close to forty IN the
singles alone.
Miss Mola Bjurstedt, national in
door, outdoor and metropolitan cham
pion, will not defend her indoor title
next week. as she is at present IN Los
Angeles, playing in the East-West
matches. Because Of this it. seems al
most certain that Miss Marie Wagner.
New York State champion and five
times winner Of the national indoor
title. will regain her lsurels next week.
Miss Wagner seems right now pretty
nearly at the top Of her game. and II
will take unusual strength TO beat her.
Her slashinC backhand shots sent the
ball skimming TO the far corners Of
deep court, and her overhead play was

Want Whitman
To Modify Stand
Against Boxing

Albany, March supporters in the
Legislature of boxing are making
hard fight against Governor Whitman's
effort to abolish the sport. A coterie
of Senators on the Senate Judiciary
Committee have succeeded for the last
two weeks in preventing a favorable re-
port on the Slater bill to repeal the
boxing law. At meeting Of the com
mittee to-day these men decided to ask
Governor Whitman to modify his stand
against pugilstc bouts.
They insist that there should still be
some sort of regulation for the sport,
and will suggest to the Governor the
enactment of a law which. it is under
stood, will give the Attorney General
power 10 pass upon all property for
which licenses for boxing bouts can be
granted. Dickering over leases has
been ono of the principal causes for
the present boxing law scandal, and
this suggestion is intended TO remove
that evil.
The Senator'S will endeavor to per
suade the Governor by offering TO give
the Attorney General broad control
over the amount of purses for bouts,
power to reduce the number of rounds,
and to bring about the appointment Of
a commission of such high class men
as will raise the present standard of
the sport.
The boxing advocates say they do not
want a return TO the abuses OF the old
club membership days, but Senator j.
Henry Walters. chairman Of the Senate
Judiciary Committee. insists that il the
Governor remains determined to have
the Slater bill passed, which probably
will prove to be the case, solution
can be found. With that object a bill
has already been drafted in the Ju
dietary Committee to supplement the
Slater bill by preventing boxing Of any
kind if the present boxing law is re-
pealed
