Washington, Aug. s-Every mem Der of the American naval crew as signed to bring the dirigibIe ZR-2 to the United States will be specially se- lected and specially trained as re- suit of the program laid down for the flight by the navy department more than a year ago.

IS
 PLANNING TOUR

Chicago, Aug. S-The National Fed eration-of Music Clubs is planning a concert tour for the winners of it's national contests held earlier this year. Its aim is to give a musical hearing as we'll as recognition to young American artists.
 The accomplishment of such a tour is made possible by the coopera- tion of the hundreds of music clubs belonging to the federation," said Mrs. Helen Harrison Mills of Peoria, Ill.,, chairman of the federation'e de- partment of publicity, here today.
 Giving these young musicians a chance to appear on their programs during the coming season, the clubs will make a string of engagements reaching from the north to the south and from coast to coast.
 This is undoubtedly the most inn portant piece of work being done at this season by the federation. It ranks as one of the most progressive activi- ties in behalf of the young American taught musician
 This is the second tour of the kind sponsored by the federation, the first one following it's 1919 biennial con- vention- Aa result of that tour the young artists appeared before a large number of the clubs and at the end of the season had each several hun dred dollars clear.
 Artists to take this years tour are Enrique Ros, pianist, New York; Her man Rosen, vilolinist, Cleveland; De- vorah Nadworney, contralto, Bayonne, N. J., and George G. Smith, baritone Evanston, III.

bUSMEN NOT TO JOIN
 STATE ASSN

Feeling that their local counsel will watch out for their interests and that to join the Connecticut State Bus Owners Association would only be an added expense, and that in reality they would then be paying duplicate attorneys fees to New Ha- ven lawyers, the local busmen voted at meeting held yesterday at 10S7 Broad street, to remain out of the state organization. A few local jit- neurs have joined the organization, but Bridgeport jitneymen as a body will remain out, and place their hopes in the "c1ub plan"
 W. F. D. Fitzpatrick is expected to head committee that will today ap- pear in Hartford and protest against the high rate of insurance charged the jitneys. In the meantime the club plan is being put into effect, with coupons being sold by Malcolm McF'ayden. at a booth at Main and John streets. It is announced that the legitimate jitneys bearing the +'J'' markers will also honor the cou- ponS.
 Otherwise there are no develop mentS locally, and not apt to be untss Judge Edwin s. Thomas of the Fed eral court gives the decisions on the injunction, which are expected to be ready in New Haven tomorrow.

TEA IS MOST
 VALUABLE DRINK

Donald B. MacMillan, noted Arctic explorer, who with Peary made that famous dash to the North Pole, and who recently left Boston for another dash to Bafffn Land, has some inter esting and instructive tales to relate anent his tourneyings north some of which will prove a revelation For instance while in Boston he visited the Salada Tea Company's plant and remarked to one of the officials that when he got back among the ESuui- mos about the first question put to him by the natives would be Did you bring some tea ?''
 Our very best work in the North ern regions said MT. MacMnlan, .ts done with plenty of good hot tea and not with coffee. cocoa or any other drink. You know" said he "that from the early days of Arctic history 1t has been the same, as shown by numerous references all through my Arctic library.
 You may not know, however, that for 20 years Peary depended entirely on tea during his long hard marches over the Greenland ice cap, and far out over the long stretches of drifted ice in the Polar Sea. For cold work and hard work and physical endur- ance with the dog team there is no drink so valueable as tea, and the men demand it and must have it. It somehow has the faculty of getting under the skin and driving out that chill, death-li4Se lethargic frozen feel ing that is indescrBbaab1e.'

TURTLE RACES
 NEWEST SPORT

Miami, Fla, Aug. S-Loggerhead turtle racing, a sport regarded by na- lives of the Bahamas as CubanS re- baseball, is to be imported into F'Iori- da by local sportsmen. Turtle races never have been held in the United States, local authorities assert.
 In racing, the huge reptiles are harnessed almost in the same manner as horses, the riders don bathing suits, mount their backs and drive in the most approved jockey style- The turtle may be so handled by the driv- CT as to prevent its diving but the rider finishes the race thoroughly soaked.
 Racing turtles are the largest of the species that may be obtained. were taken along the Florida keys af- ter a search of several weeks.
